About: I have always been the one that people call to take care of their fur babies and that is a responsibility that I am proud of! I have been caring for pets for 20+ and have enjoyed every minute of it. I hope you will give me a chance to show you my love for animals! I currently volunteer at my church on Sundays and it may ramp up to two days a week with summer here, but I am mainly available everyday of the week from 11am-11pm. I currently do not offer pet care in my own home since it is not big enough, however, I am very respectful of clients’ property and requests when taking care of their pets.
About: I currently have 3 dogs of my own (plus one cat) and have had others in my past. Also I worked at a Doggy Daycare/Boarding facility as a shift lead for 2 years. Along with that I have been regularly pet sitting for 5 years. I have marked off certain days due to being a student, however, besides that I have plenty free time to take care of your pets! My own pets range from 8-70lbs and are all vastly different in character. I am willing to work with difficult personalities and bigger animals when needed!
“We used Mariah again for vacation this year, as she did such an amazing job last time! We will definitely keep using her services for any future needs! Communication was excellent and our pup loves her!”
About: I currently have 1 dog, 1 cat, and tons of exotics!I have worked in a pet rescue giving me experience with shy dogs and the most outgoing dogs. I've been trained on safe walking practices and safe dog interactions. I would love to help care for your pets! With the pets I have, I'm always working and learning about the care I can provide them! With my dog and cat, I'm ready to play with them. I also work at a pet store specializing in fish. I'm happy and ready to join your pets live's as long as I can! For dog walking and drop in visits I like to spend time letting the dog sniff me before harnessing or leashing. I want to make sure they are comfortable with me in their space. Once showing a more relaxed body language I'm ready to earn trust and take walks around neighborhoods and take dogs out for their potty breaks.
About: I’ve grown up with a dog all my life & cannot wait until I have a nice yard to adopt one of my own! I am no stranger to walks/jogs, throwing the ball or carrying a bag for when the time comes! I have no professional experience with training but would be open to working on commands upon request! I’m currently working from home and have a very flexible schedule. I can work from anywhere so in-home sitting wouldn’t be an issue. I go on walks everyday and think it would be fun to have a buddy to walk around with me! In clients home services would be followed as directed by the client. Feeding schedule, walking schedule, playing, potty break schedule (or litter scooping) would need to be outlined to ensure your pet is receiving the care they need!
“Sophia is so sweet! She’s helped look after my cats during a few extended work trips and was happy to help when they needed medicine or special instructions. Now whenever I’m planning to be away, booking Sophia has become routine. The cats are typically shy but they sure like her and she goes above/beyond every time.”

About: I've taken care of pets my entire life. I've always had large dogs (labs) and cats (I currently have 2). I've trained several puppies, as well as taken care of several litters of puppies after our dog delivered. No problems with older dogs or those with medical needs as I've dealt with that as well. I've always been the person my friends, family, and neighbors come to for help with caring for their pets. Overall, I will give your pet the love and attention I would give my own! I'm currently working a few days a week (9-2) so on those days I would be able to come before/after. The other days I am open and very flexible.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Westlake
Lauren was an excellent pet sitter—always timely, reliable, and attentive to our dog’s needs with feeding, walks, and care. On cold or rainy days, she made sure he still got quality time inside, whether that meant playing or giving him extra pets. She was very communicative, patient with my messages, and consistently sent photos, which I truly appreciated.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Westlake choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
