About: (UPDATED 07/25) Hi there! I'm Jess. I've been working through Rover for 7 years now. Presently, I offer house sitting, drop-ins, and walks. Previously, my days were filled with doggy day care (3 repeat, regular clients) and overnight boarding. For the safety of my cat and your animal, I can no longer offer day care and boarding. I work remotely in media management for a television streaming service which provides me the fortunate flexibility throughout the day to watch and care for your dogs. Your dog (or dogs!) will be in quality hands, as they are my number one priority while you enjoy your vacation, business trip, or just need a last minute sitter! I get it! You will receive timely updates as requested. As a pet owner myself, I empathize with the need to have someone reliable, trust-worthy, smart and caring. I exercise a level of care no less than I would expect for my pet. I work remotely (Monday - Friday) for a job where I can devote ample time to your dog(s). Able to walk/take out every 2 hours, if necessary. In the nicer weather, I work outside with them. No matter what, I always ensure your dog(s) are comfortable, safe, and their needs are met as if they were my own. I feel grateful to be in a flexible position in order to help you! On the weekends, I can definitely be more adventurous with your dog. I gather information from you (if not already provided), especially before staying in your home (behaviors, feeding, outside/walking schedules, training, sleeping, kenneling, restrictions, emergency care, etc). I'm extra attentive to your dog's behavior if I am new, since they're just getting to trust me. I keep their routine as normal as possible and provide a safe, playful environment while you are away.

“Paula helped me last minute while I needed to be at work. She was flexible and helpful. I highly recommend her services. Thanks Paula!”

About: Pet Care Experience With a lifelong passion for animals, I have cultivated extensive experience caring for a diverse array of creatures, including dogs, cats, non-venomous snakes, ferrets, fish, and rodents, through both personal devotion and professional work. Since childhood, I’ve been drawn to animals of all kinds—whether they have scales, fur, fins, or feathers—and have spent years nurturing my own pets while honing my skills. My professional experience includes working at a pet store, where I strengthened my expertise in animal husbandry, handling, and care for a wide variety of species, from setting up habitats for reptiles to advising on proper nutrition for fish and rodents. This hands-on background has equipped me to manage everything from a playful puppy’s energy to a senior pet’s gentle requirements. I am adept at administering medications with precision and adhering to specific dietary needs, ensuring each pet receives tailored care that keeps them healthy and happy. What Sets Me Apart from Other Sitters What distinguishes me is my blend of personal passion and professional expertise, underpinned by my pet store experience, which has deepened my understanding of diverse animal needs. My special skills include puppy training, using positive reinforcement to teach basic commands and socialization, and senior pet care, where I provide gentle support, including mobility assistance and careful monitoring of health conditions. My work with exotic animals, such as snakes and ferrets, allows me to confidently manage their unique requirements, from habitat maintenance to specialized feeding. I’m available any day, any time, regardless of weather, prioritizing safety and comfort for both your pet and myself. This is just the beginning of my journey, and my enthusiasm to continue learning ensures your pets receive exceptional, compassionate care that goes beyond the ordinary. Schedule: How Pet Care Fits into My Daily or Weekly Routine Having recently been laid off, I have chosen to pursue my lifelong passion for animals by making pet care my full-time profession. This transition allows me to dedicate my entire schedule to providing exceptional care for your pets, ensuring flexibility and availability to meet their needs. My daily and weekly routine is fully centered around pet sitting, dog walking, and animal care, accommodating creatures of all kinds—whether they have scales, fur, fins, or feathers. I am available any day, any time, regardless of weather, to provide services such as dog walking, pet sitting, administering medications, or adhering to specific dietary requirements. My professional experience at a pet store, combined with my personal expertise with dogs, cats, non-venomous snakes, ferrets, fish, and rodents, equips me to handle diverse care needs with precision and compassion. Whether it’s daily walks for an energetic puppy, gentle care for a senior pet, or specialized attention for exotic animals, I structure my schedule to prioritize the safety, comfort, and happiness of every pet. This is just the beginning of my full-time journey in pet care, and I am committed to tailoring my routine to ensure your animals receive the dedicated, loving attention they deserve. Pet Sitting (In Your Home or Mine) In Your Home: When pet sitting in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining the pet’s familiar environment to minimize stress. I conduct a thorough pre-visit consultation to understand your pet’s routine, dietary needs, and any special requirements, such as medication administration, for which I am highly experienced. I adhere strictly to your instructions, ensuring precise feeding schedules and safe handling, particularly for exotic animals like snakes or ferrets that require specialized care. To ensure safety, I inspect the home for potential hazards (e.g., exposed wires or toxic plants) and secure any areas that could pose risks. For trust, I provide regular updates with photos or videos, so you know your pet is thriving. My COVID-19 precautions include wearing a mask during interactions when physical distancing is not possible, sanitizing hands before and after visits, and disinfecting any equipment used, such as feeding tools. In My Home: When caring for pets in my home, I create a clean, safe, and welcoming space tailored to their needs. My home is pet-proofed, with secure areas for different species—crates for dogs, enclosures for reptiles, or tanks for fish—to prevent accidents and ensure comfort. I maintain a calm environment, limiting stressors like loud noises, and provide separate spaces for animals that may not coexist well, such as rodents and cats. My experience with exotic and domestic animals allows me to set up appropriate habitats, such as temperature-controlled spaces for reptiles or cozy bedding for senior pets. I am adept at administering medications and meeting specific dietary needs, ensuring every pet feels at home. To build trust, I invite clients to visit my home beforehand and provide frequent updates during their pet’s stay. Dog Walking For dog walking, I am available any day, any time, regardless of weather, and prioritize safety and comfort for both your dog (or other walkable pets, like cats or ferrets) and myself. I use sturdy, well-fitted leashes and harnesses, inspecting them before each walk to ensure reliability. My routes are chosen to avoid hazards like busy roads, and I remain vigilant for environmental risks, such as extreme weather or aggressive animals. For puppies, I incorporate training techniques like positive reinforcement to encourage good behavior, while for senior dogs, I adjust pace and distance to suit their mobility. My pet store experience enhances my ability to read animal behavior, ensuring I respond promptly to signs of stress or discomfort. To maintain trust, I communicate with clients about their pet’s walk, noting any notable behaviors or incidents. COVID-19 safety measures include sanitizing equipment after each walk and maintaining physical distance during client interactions. Animal Care (General) Whether caring for exotic or domestic animals, I tailor my approach to each species’ unique needs. For example, I ensure proper habitat conditions for snakes (e.g., correct temperature and humidity), provide engaging activities for ferrets, and monitor water quality for fish. My pet store background has honed my skills in maintaining clean and safe enclosures, preventing health issues. I am meticulous in administering medications and following dietary restrictions, whether it’s hand-feeding a finicky cat or preparing specialized meals for a rodent. To foster trust, I keep clients informed with detailed updates and am available for questions at any time. My home and any client spaces I work in are kept clean and sanitized, with strict adherence to COVID-19 protocols, such as hand hygiene and equipment disinfection, to protect both pets and clients.

About: I have been a dog walker and pet sitter for several years now and I love what I do. I care for every pet as if they were my own. Whether you have an active fur child or a couch potato who loves to snuggle, I’ll make sure your baby is attended to! I have a flexible schedule and open availability. I can assure you that you won't be disappointed by choosing me as your pets caretaker! About this sitter: My name is Allie! I have been dog walking/sitting for about 12 years now and I love what I do! I own a 5 year old Dachshund mix named Hank, a 5 year old pitbull mix named Luna, and a 6 year old cat named Ari. I have always been great with animals and I guarantee your pet will agree! Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover since I can remember. I grew up around all sorts of animals and continue that passion today. I decided to start a business doing what I love, caring for dogs! I have been walking dogs and pet sitting professionally for about 12 years now and I could not be happier! My experience administering medication I am very comfortable administering any medications your pet might need. I have experience in this subject as well! I’m currently working part time which ensures I have lots of available time to tend to your beloved babies. I only work out of the house 2-3 days per week for up to 5 hours I have a private yard with leads to ensure plenty of outdoor time. They will also have access to plenty of toys and 2 play mates! I can also utilize a crate as necessary

About: I have a natural connection to pets. If a dog gets out of hand, I make sure to remain patient so that they have a chance to reciprocate calm energy. Not afraid of accident attendance. Big time walker. I'm currently using this to fill in some time while I'm looking for another part-time position. In the meantime, I have a lot of time on my hands. Even so, once I secure one it will not stop me from taking care of pets. I take my dog on walks and make sure he gets a good play session in our fenced-in backyard so he isn't restless. Also a great lounger if you just need a live eye on the furball.

“Rag came to our house to meet Lola and she loved him (she really loves everyone). But he came over every day (5x per week) since that meeting. I used to work from home so I was worried about her going to the dog park but he agreed to take her for a specified time and return her home. It's been three weeks and we just booked our fourth week and he's been perfect. While I'm at work I'm able to see that she's playing with her friends at the dog park. He/s contacted me as appropriate on my direct line when he was unsure of something (I didn't put her leash on) and handled the situation apropatiely and with care. I would recommend him to anyone who wants their baby taken care of as if they are a part of their family. Baucae Lola is my daughter and I'm happy to say Raj is the best dog nanny I could ask for.”

“Marisol was excellent - on time, bonded well with my <30lb Boston Terrier mix, and came with excellent referrals from ongoing clients. Will use again as soon as our schedules align!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a genuine passion for caring for furry family members. Having grown up surrounded by dogs my entire life. I’ve experienced every stage of puppyhood and understand their unique needs, energy levels and personalities that each dog brings. Currently I work a part time job, during the midday- night but I can always work around my schedule. Sundays are my longer shifts in the morning but in the afternoon I am free! I have a fenced yard to protect my dogs and cats! We have cat crates and pouches to make sure they get some outdoor time.

About: I love animals and have owned and cared for dogs and cats. I would love to love your dog in my home. It’s a safe place. I currently work part time and my office is 2 miles from home. I love being home and rarely go out, except for errands and Sunday morning church. Dogs are welcome in my home. I have four cats that go in and out. They were raised with a shepherd, who passed last year. They will likely mind their business, so your dog will be safe here, and loved a lot 🥰

“Awesome experience, my dog loved walking with Jose”

“Meghan had a family emergency on Friday January 24th, so she was unable to walk Foxy. Please credit that day to my account. If Meghan is able & available this coming Friday then then she can let me know if not I totally understand. And we can reschedule. No worries.”

After relocating and starting a family, I stayed connected to the dog world by helping care for friends’ pets, and now I’m excited to return to offering services through Rover. I'm currently enrolled in the Certified Dog Trainer (CDT) program at CATCH Canine Academy, where I'm expanding my skills in behavior, training, and canine care. I’m also certified in Canine First Aid & CPR, so your pup’s safety and comfort are always top of mind. I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your dog with someone new—I’ve been there too. That’s why I always recommend a meet-and-greet before the first booking and ask clients to fill out a pet profile. This helps me learn your dog’s personality, preferences, routine, and any special needs to ensure personalized care. **Why book with me?** * Currently enrolled in CATCH’s CDT (Certified Dog Trainer) program * Canine First Aid & CPR certified * Hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments * Calm, confident, and knowledgeable in reading dog behavior * Walks are a full 30+ minutes for proper stimulation and exercise * Trustworthy, responsive, and treat your dog like family * Flexible scheduling and reasonable rates Whether your pup needs a reliable walker, enrichment-focused care, or a calm and experienced presence while you're away, I’m here to help. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet! I currently work and study part-time, which gives me a **flexible schedule** and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care throughout the week. Whether your dog needs a midday walk, overnight care, or weekday playtime, I can adjust my routine to meet their needs. I also keep weekends open for added availability and longer stays. My goal is to ensure your pup receives consistent attention, exercise, and love, without you having to worry about timing or coverage. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities when they’re in my care. At my home, dogs enjoy a calm, structured environment where they’re treated like part of the family. I have a **spacious, fully fenced-in yard** that’s perfect for safe outdoor play, sniffing around, and getting that extra burst of energy out. Inside, the space is dog-friendly, clean, and cozy—ideal for naps, enrichment, and snuggles. I only host a limited number of dogs at a time to ensure each pup receives plenty of attention. All meet-and-greets are required to provide a good fit and smooth transition. I'm also **certified in Canine First Aid and CPR**, and I always keep a detailed pet profile on hand for routine care, medical needs, and preferences. Whether it’s fetch in the yard or quiet cuddle time indoors, I create a safe and trustworthy space that your dog will love.

“Katie and Iggy LOVED their walk with Luciana! She took several photos during their walk - each photo showing VERY happy pups! Luciana is an extremely caring, compassionate, and loving individual. She treated my pups as though they were her own. I HIGHLY recommend Luciana as a pet caregiver! Christine”
