“Whitney always does a great job with our Senior pup. He can’t always walk the full time if it is hot out but she still hangs around for snuggles! I know he is in good hands!”

Stacy H.

“Shane & Brittany did a great job with walking and caring for my dog while I was away on a work trip. My dog requires extra attention (and understanding) which was handled well and made me feel at ease being away from her. I would recommend them to care for anyone’s dog. The daily reports and photos were also appreciated.”

About: Since I was a kid I've been the person neighbors, friends, and family have relied on to watch their fur babies of all shapes and sizes. From maintaing clean litter boxes to taking long walks around the neighborhood, spending time with fur babies of all ages is my passion. While the parents are not home, it is all snuggles and play time. I devote my full attention to keeping our furry friends entertained and happy until their parents return. **Please Understand That if I am Contacted Before 8AM or After 10PM, I will not be able to respond in a timely manner as I too enjoy sleep** I am currently going back to school online, so I'll be able to spend plenty of time hanging with the pups and kitties just goofing around and snuggling. In my client's home, I will be respectful of their property. I can ensure the pets are fed and provided fresh water. I will clean after the animals if there is an accident, and will help maintain tidy litterboxes. If the owner has a fenced in yard that they prefer for the dog to potty in, I will still go behind and bag the fresh poop.

Although I don’t currently have a pet of my own, the loss of my beloved family dog, along with the joy of caring for many others, inspires me to provide the same love and attention I received from my furry companions. I was gifted my first dog at a young age, which sparked my passion for animals. This experience laid the foundation for my understanding of different breeds and their unique temperaments. Over the years, I've cared for a wide variety of pets, and I recognize that while each one is different, they all deserve love, attention, and tailored care to thrive. As a full-time stay at home sitter, I am committed to providing your pet with a fun and safe environment. I enjoy playful outings to the park, leisurely walks, and cozy relaxation time together. My home is a comfortable haven, featuring two bedrooms and a family room dedicated to fun activities and playtime. To ensure the health and safety of all pets in my care, I use pet-safe products and adhere to strict cleaning and disinfecting procedures. Your furry family member will be treated like one of my own, and I genuinely appreciate the opportunity to welcome you into our pack. 💬 Contact Hours: Monday – Sunday: 8:00 AM – 9:00 PM ——————————————————————— 🚨 Here are some important details about our services: Drop-offs/Pickups are accepted until 9 PM, Monday to Sunday.

Early arrivals, late pickups, or drop-offs outside of the scheduled timeframe are not guaranteed and must be approved beforehand. If you arrive outside of your scheduled time without prior confirmation, you may need to wait until we are available to assist you. Please do not arrive unannounced.

 💬 Answer: Yes, I have experience with a wide variety of dog breeds, from small to large, and am comfortable handling dogs with special needs or behavioral considerations. ❓Why do you conduct meet-and-greet sessions outdoors and offer outdoor pickup and drop-off options? 💬Answer: We conduct meet-and-greet sessions outdoors and offer outdoor pickup and drop-off to ensure the safety of our current furry guests, as well as to minimize health risks. For added convenience, we also provide virtual tours via live video. Additionally, we allow owners to come inside on a case-by-case basis, provided they wear a mask, to accommodate individual needs while prioritizing everyone's safety. ❓Do you offer discounts? 💬 Answer: The current nightly rate includes the cost of electricity, water, routine care, and all amenities to ensure your pet's comfort. This price may fluctuate based on changes in costs and the level of care your pet requires and demand. To secure a rate that only adjusts annually or biannually, clients must have booked at least twice and inquire about the “regular clients rate.” I will assess your pet’s care needs and determine a personalized price, as rates may vary depending on each pet’s individual requirements. ❓What should I pack for my pet’s stay? 💬 Answer: Please bring your pet's food, any medications, and their favorite toys for comfort. As a dedicated full-time pet sitter, I ensure your furry companions are never alone and receive the attention they deserve. My day begins with morning walks, followed by scheduled feedings and play sessions, all tailored to meet your pet’s unique needs. At home, I create a secure and welcoming atmosphere for pets by removing potential hazards and closely monitoring each pet's health, while also providing clean bowls for meals, which I elevate to promote better digestion and reduce strain on their necks. I build trust by meticulously following their care instructions and ensuring they feel comfortable in an unfamiliar setting. My goal is to establish a positive, stress-free environment where pets feel cherished and secure while their owners are away. Additionally, to safeguard your dog’s well-being and minimize the risk of bloat (GDV), we ensure a recovery period of 1-2 hours after meals before engaging in play.

“Faith is wonderful! She has been walking my middleaged mid-sized dog Delia now for 6 or 7 months on a fairly consistent basis & has watched her for several overnight stays as well. Delia is always happy to see her and noticeably happier after her walks with Faith. Faith is wonderful about communication, & is extremely paitent and genuinely caring. I'm really glad I found her on Rover and I will continue to book with her! Delia and I highly recommend her.”

“Sabine was amazing! It was the first time I used her and would highly recommend her. She took care of my senior dog that’s 14 years old. On the day I was leaving for vacation, I discovered my little pup was getting some swelling below his eye which was growing in size noticeably before leaving. I made an emergency apt for him to be seen at the vet and Sabine was so flexible to take him to and from the vet apt. He went home on medications which she was administered. After a few days he had to go back for a tooth extraction. Unfortunately, my trip was extended and I was really worried how this would all work with not being home while my dog undergoes surgery. Sabine made herself available to take him for his second trip to the vet for his surgery. She managed his medications, gave me thorough updates and really was compassionate for my little pup to help him on his way to recovery. I can’t express how grateful I was to have found her. I was at ease knowing she was there with my little guy while I was away.”

About: Hi! My name is Jazmin. I've had dogs my whole life, I absolutely love all animals. Ive been working with animals (professionally) for about 9 years now. Before COVID, I was an assistant general manager for a restaurant. When the pandemic hit and the world shut down, I decided to open up my own pet sitting business. Its been such a blessing because now I can focus all my energy and time into what I love! Which is caring for all animals! I am experienced and comfortable in administering medications to dogs and cats. My beagle, Buster was epileptic and had thyroid issues that he was on medication for. He was very picky and had to get medication twice a day. I've also watched cats that needed insulin injections, as well as other clients that needed timley medications to control seizures. I am a full time pet sitter and stay at home mom. This means your baby gets unlimited playtime, as well as one on one cuddles! This also allows me to be very flexible to accommodate any pet sitting requests! Drop off times start as early as 6:00 AM, and pickup can be as late as 9:00 PM. I leave out for brief periods of time, to take my son to school or husband to work and to pick them up! During these times pups will either be crated or put into a playpen to keep themselves from getting into trouble! I have two dogs of my own that love to play with your pups and help keep them company! I have a fully fenced (6ft high) yard to keep your baby safe and contained while they play. I have a bunch of toys - from ropes,to balls and bones, that get sanitized between stays. On rainy days pups will get their stimulation by doing treat puzzles. Dogs are welcome on all furniture! I have gates blocking them from the bedrooms and bathrooms but other then that they have free roam of the house! There are crates always open and set up with blankets and beds, if any pup is feeling overwhelmed or needs a break, they can retreat to a nice comfy spot.
