Stephanie was the best. She went over and above to care for my two cats. One of my cats is very scared around strangers but Stephanie managed to coax him out of hiding and became his friend. Stephanie sent me awesome photos of the care and play time she had with my boys. She also made sure my house was secure after each exit. Hands down, I would not consider anyone else to care for my two cats. Thank you Stephanie.

About: Hi! I’m an experienced dog sitter and devoted pet parent with years of experience caring for my own dogs and providing trusted pet-sitting. I’ve cared for my Morkie (Maltese-Yorkshire mix) for 11 years, so I’m very familiar with the needs of small dogs. I also have hands-on experience caring for our Golden Retriever for 7 years, giving me experience with both small and large breeds. Our Golden is epileptic but has been seizure-free for over 2 years, giving us firsthand experience with administering medication, monitoring health, and following strict routines - experience that also helps us care for dogs with medical needs or seniors. As a young, active couple, we love taking energetic dogs on walks and adventures, while also providing calm, personalized care for those who need quiet time or extra cuddles. Every dog has a unique personality, and I tailor my care to their needs, routines, and comfort. As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog with someone else. That’s why I provide the same attentive, loving care I expect when leaving my own pets, so you can feel completely at ease. My unique advantage lies in my flexible schedule which allows me to dedicate ample time and undivided attention to your cherished pets. Whether it's quality cuddles, playtime adventures, or leisurely strolls, I'm committed to providing top-notch care tailored to your pet's unique needs. In my home, your furry friends will find a spacious and welcoming environment where pets are free to roam around, an outdoor terrace with secured fencing, and local parks (including a dog park) for exercise. I strive to provide a loving and comfortable atmosphere that makes them feel like part of the family.

Varsha is an incredible pet sitter with a genuine passion for animals. My little pup, Sundae, absolutely loves spending time with her. We had a successful meet and greet where Varsha introduced herself to Sundae and quickly built a rapport. Throughout the visits, Varsha kept me updated with frequent communication and sent me plenty of adorable pictures. As a first-time user of Rover, I am extremely grateful for Varsha’s professionalism and dedication, which made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. Five stars!

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and caring for them comes naturally to me. I grew up with dogs and have been a dog owner for the past eight years, so I understand the daily responsibility, patience, and attention pets need. Over the years, I’ve also cared for other dogs and cats, each with their own personalities and routines. I’m attentive, calm, and respectful of every pet’s needs, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. Pet care fits well into my current schedule. I’ve recently returned to school part time and also work part time, which gives me flexibility and reliable availability to focus on pet care. I’m organized with my time and able to plan walks, drop-ins, and sitting around my commitments, ensuring pets receive consistent attention and care. Because my schedule isn’t full-time, I can be attentive, responsive, and dependable for both regular and occasional pet care needs. When caring for animals in their home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, walking routines, and care instructions closely, and I take time to understand each pet’s personality and needs. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and calm companionship, while also keeping their space clean and safe. I’m respectful of the home, provide updates as requested, and treat every pet with patience and care so they feel secure while their owners are away.
