Steven was amazing! I have a dog with anxiety and she was comfortable enough to be in his presence. He walked my other dog Sushi for a good period of time. He followed directions and went above and beyond walking Sushi but also cleaned my dog cage.

About: I recently relocated to Newark from Philadelphia. Growing up, my family always had a dog and a cat. As an adult I’ve fostered several pets, and I have adopted two cats. I’ve housesat and done drop-ins several times for friends with pets, in addition to being a sitter on Rover. I have a standard 9-5 workday and work from home most days. It's a joy to break up the day by spending time with your cat or dog on my lunch break or after work. Whether it's keeping a respectful distance while leaving food and water for a nervous cat, letting your pup take their time exploring on a walk, or making sure your playful pet is entertained, I'll always do my best to meet them where they are while caring for them. I have experience pilling dogs and cats, as well as caring for small wounds or ill pets.

Having Cristina as our pet sitter has been a game changer for us. Not only is she incredibly responsible and trustworthy, but she goes above and beyond to ensure our pets are happy and healthy in our absence. From daily walks to cuddle sessions, Cristina gives our pets the attention and love they deserve. Her communication is excellent, providing regular updates and even sending adorable photos to ease our minds while we're away. We can't recommend Cristina enough for anyone in need of a caring and dedicated pet sitter!"

Mykaela would make an amazing Rover pet sitter. She is an animal lover and exhibits patience and kindness to all animals, big and small. My Jack Russell, Sage, absolutely loves her. There is no doubt in my mind that Mykaela exhibits a great level of responsibility with pets left in her care and I would have no hesitation in using her as a trusted sitter for my baby.

Tashiyana is my pupper's new best buddy!! Clooney joins her for walks three days a week, every week for the last month... and it's been a huge help to me in the mornings. She arrives on time every time, with advanced notice. She is great working with schedule changes when needed and is an absolute ANGEL! Clooney gives her 5 happy butt wiggles, too!

Herriette has 5 dogs of her own, and i have never seen her miss treat them. She deeply loves them and understands their personalities thoroughly. A few times when I was a guest, she would have to bathe them when her parents expected it, and she wouldn't forget to let them out when they needed that time to be outside. She is a great caretaker for all dogs, I can't name a single time she had a bad thing to say about any dog we've encountered.

I have know Arley for quite a while now. He is just a pleasure to be around. He is kind, considerate and respectful to everyone. He is loving to all and loves animals. I have seen him around my niece's golden retriever and he is so gentle and kind to her. Anyone would be very lucky to have him as an employee.
