“Brianne was amazing with Miles! She took great care of him during my long shift, keeping me updated with photos and making sure he was happy and well-exercised. I could tell he was in great hands, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”


“Matias took such good care of my pup. He communicated very well, sending photos, and played with Carter. Matias is kind and gentle and has a lot of experience caring for dogs. I highly recommend him and will rebook with him.”


“Our dogs, Rizzo and Ginger, spent the day with Andy in Day Care when we needed to go out of town. This is their second time with Andy and he is wonderful with them. He sent us some pictures of them, took them on walks, and put together a "report card" on what they did during the day. Andy is so good with dogs and we are also happy knowing they are in a safe and loving environment. We will certainly use Andy again!”


“Shipra took great care of my maltipoo, making sure he got settled in well and had a relaxing day. Appreciated Shipra for being a responsive, patient, and friendly petsitter! Her pup William is also so sweet!”


“First time using Rover and I was hesitant, but Dana exceeded my expectations! She suggested a meet and greet at her house and not only is she warm and personable, but she has the perfect backyard to play in. Klay's first week with Dana was a success! He was sad to part with her at the end of day 1 and knew her name by day 2 ?. What I appreciate most is that she's extremely reliable, professional, and has a genuine love of dogs. Thank you Dana for being responsive to every text and always giving me a good report at the end of every visit. We highly recommend Dana and have already rebooked with her! 5 paws rating ??????”


About: I’ve been caring for my family’s dogs since I was a teenager, and over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of dog body language and their unique needs. I’m confident working with dogs of all ages, and I have hands-on experience with training, including basic commands and leash manners. What truly sets me apart is my patience and calm approach—whether I’m working with an energetic puppy or a senior dog who needs a little extra care, I always tailor my approach to make sure every pup feels safe, loved, and understood. Right now, Rover is my part-time job, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility in my schedule. I’m able to give each pet the attention they deserve and can easily accommodate last-minute bookings or changes. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—it’s something I look forward to every day. When caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment tailored to each pet’s unique needs. Here’s how I approach pet care in both settings: In My Home: • Safe and Welcoming Environment: I ensure my home is pet-friendly, removing any potential hazards and providing cozy spaces for rest and play. • Consistent Routine: I maintain a regular schedule for feeding, exercise, and playtime to help pets feel secure and reduce anxiety. • Personalized Attention: Understanding that each pet has its own personality and preferences, I adapt activities and interactions to suit their individual needs. In Client’s Home: • Respect for Home and Rules: I adhere strictly to the homeowner’s guidelines, ensuring pets follow their usual routines and house rules. • Home Security: Before leaving, I double-check that all doors, windows, and, if applicable, fence gates are securely closed to keep pets safe and maintain home security. • Emergency Preparedness: I keep a list of emergency contacts, including the pet’s regular veterinarian and the nearest animal hospital, to act swiftly if any health issues arise. In both scenarios, I focus on providing loving care and companionship, ensuring pets are happy, healthy, and comfortable in their surroundings.

“Abigail was a great communicator and easy to work with. We had a meet & greet ahead of time, which was very helpful as my dog is timid and easily scared. Coco was very sweet, and helped comfort our dog too. Highly recommend, and we look forward to our pup spending time with Abigail and Coco again!”


“Cynthia was a wonderful host and Charlie had a fantastic day playing with her dog Larry! We will definitely return”

“We used Byamba's dog sitting services for our English Bull Terrier this weekend. Our dog, Blanca, had a wonderful time at his house while we were out to brunch with our friends. He took such great care of her in the few hours we left her with him. They went on a walk and played in the backyard! Even though she was only there for a few hours, we received multiple photos. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Blanca for us today, Byamba!!!”

“Nicholas looked after our dog Toby (schnauzer, 7 years old, male) for the day. He was super communicative throughout and clearly hit it off when they met for the first time. I was so grateful to know that Toby was in good hands with Nicholas. I highly recommend Nicholas and will definitely reach out again :)”

“Stephanie and Shawn are amazing! They’re an incredibly warm and hospitable family with three amazing pets that my beagle seemed to love. I felt that my pup was incredibly safe and comfortable, 15/10!”

“Sardegna had a great experience with Will! We were nervous because she is still a puppy and we had not used rover before. We reached out to Will for a meet and greet and he was kind to accommodate us meeting before we booked daycare. Our pup took to him immediately. We took her for daycare the next day and she was happy to see him again! Will sent updates through the day and was a great host! I have already booked her next daycare sessions ☺️”


“When we arrived to drop our dog off with Michael for the second time, she leapt and cried with joy to see him. That's how happy she is spending time w him. We couldn't be happier. Thank you, Michael!”


“Alexandria and Guy did a great job with Luna. She had a fun evening with them!”


“Diana did an excellent job watching my dog. She asked about his likes and dislikes beforehand and was good at communicating drop-off and pick-up. She kept him entertained throughout the day with games of fetch and walks. I would definitely have her watch my dog again.”


About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years, taking care of family and friends’ pets in their homes and mine. While I don’t have pets of my own, I have a deep love for animals and find true joy in spending time with them. Whether it’s feeding, walking, bathing, or simply offering companionship, I am fully committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to get to know them, ensuring they’re relaxed and happy while in my care. I’m attentive to their needs and always strive to create a positive experience for both pets and owners. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities, and I’m more than happy to tailor my services to their specific routines. I take pride in offering reliable, compassionate care that will give you peace of mind while you’re away. Since I work from home full-time, I have a pretty flexible schedule and can easily work around your pet’s needs. I’m available for walks during the day, quick play sessions, or even just some cuddle time whenever your pet needs attention. I’m lucky to live in a green, walkable neighborhood with lots of parks and trails which is perfect for regular outdoor adventures. Plus, if you’re not in my area, I have a car and can drive to you if needed, so I can make sure your pet gets the best care no matter where you are. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. At home, I make sure all doors and windows are secure to keep your pet safe, and I always supervise them during walks and playtime. I take extra precautions to ensure they’re always supervised in outdoor spaces. I’m mindful of their comfort and take care to create a calm and safe environment, especially if they’re adjusting to a new setting. If your pet uses a crate or needs specific care, I’m more than happy to follow their routine exactly as you’ve outlined. I understand that some pets prefer more structure, and I’ll make sure they feel secure and cared for at all times.

“Juliet was very accommodating to my work schedule. She kept me informed with pictures and how Remi was doing throughout the day. She is caring, kind and sweet and will make sure your pup is taken great care of.”

Lucky has separation anxiety, but Natalia was incredibly patient and loving with him. She walked him three times a day, played with him, fed him, and even drove him to a fenced dog park so he could socialize and have fun. She followed all of our care instructions carefully and made sure Lucky felt safe and happy. Natalia also FaceTimed us and sent lots of photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Lucky clearly felt very loved and comfortable with her. I highly recommend Natalia—she's responsible, attentive, and truly loves animals.”
