About: I'm the founder of Magnetic Malinois, with hands-on experience raising and training two certified Belgian Malinois. My dogs volunteer as therapy dogs at the Lehigh Valley Health Network, and I understand working breads, structured routines, and how to keep pets calm, safe and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I build my schedule around consistent walks, feeding times, and check-ins, so your pet gets reliable attention whether it's a quick midday visit or a longer stay while you're away. Your pet's safety comes first. In your home, I follow your instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, stick to your pet's routine, and send updates so you always know your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

I have two cats who keep to themselves, but they have interacted with dogs before with no issue.

“Our 3 kitties absolutely love Ja! She's a true lover of animals and understands how hard it is to leave our babies at home when we leave. She provides stellar communication with photos, has very good attention to detail, asks questions, and spends real quality time with the kitties. We feel incredibly at ease when Ja is looking after our little pack!”
“Justina did an excellent job caring for our three cats while we were away. She provided frequent updates and amazing photos that gave us peace of mind and showed that our fur babies were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was clear she took the time to make sure they received plenty of attention and care during each visit. We came home to three happy cats and felt completely confident that they were in good hands while we were gone. We highly recommend Justina and will definitely be booking with her again in the future! 🐾💕”

About: What sets me apart is my pawsitive approach to pet care and my deep understanding of animal behavior, thanks to both hands-on experience and professional training. I’m a proud graduate of the Dog Grooming School of Pennsylvania, which not only sharpened my grooming skills but also taught me how to read canine body language, manage different temperaments, and create a calm, safe environment for pets of all ages. I specialize in puppy basics—like crate training, potty routines, and leash manners—as well as senior pet care, including medication reminders, slow strolls, and plenty of comfort-focused attention. I bring a lot of patience, love, and structure to every visit, ensuring your pet feels secure and happy while you’re away. With me, your pet will always be surrounded by Pawsitive energy, gentle care, and a true love for animals. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I work from home and manage grooming clients on the side. This gives me plenty of flexibility and extra time to play, snuggle, and care for your fur babies throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, belly rubs, or just keeping them company, I’m able to give them the attention they deserve while you’re away. Your pet becomes part of my day, not just part of my schedule. When caring for pets in my home, they become part of the pack! I have very friendly, playful pups who love making new friends, and we have about 1 acre of fully fenced-in yard for safe exploring and zoomies. There are doggie pools, toys, and lots of fun enrichment activities to keep your fur baby happy, active, and entertained. Inside, pets enjoy a cozy, stress-free environment with plenty of love and attention. I treat every pet like my own—whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or nap time, they’ll always feel safe and right at home. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I follow your routine closely to keep things familiar and comfortable for them. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels happy, secure, and loved, no matter where they are!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
