About: Ive taken care of dogs, cats, and many other pets since I can remember. I grew up with lots of pets and have always made them my priority. My neighborhood has known me to be one of the best pet sitters/dog walkers in the area as I always put the care of your animals first! I am currently a full time doctorate student at Marymount. I am up early and on my feet at all times. I want to help out by walking/sitting your animals in my free time and breaks which is often! Creating a safe environment for your animals is my number one priority. Keeping your home clean and happy is important in the caring of your pets.

About: Pet Care Experience: I’ve had pets my entire life, and caring for them has always been a natural part of who I am. From playful puppies to senior dogs and cats needing extra support, I have experience providing loving, reliable care at every stage of life. I’m comfortable reinforcing basic training, and following specific routines to make sure your pet feels safe and at home, even while you’re away. What Sets Me Apart I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m patient, attentive, and adaptable to different energy levels, temperaments, and needs. Whether your pet needs an extra-long walk to burn energy, slow and gentle care for aging joints, or just a lot of affection and companionship, I’m here to provide the right kind of support. My lifetime of experience, combined with my genuine love for animals, ensures that your pet will be in good hands. Pet care easily fits into my daily and weekly routine because I prioritize flexibility around my clients’ needs. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or overnight care, I structure my day to give pets the consistent attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Making time for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, not just a task to check off, I also see this as a way to maintain my own active lifestyle so it’s a win win! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I create a calm, clean, and safe environment. I follow any routines or specific instructions carefully to make sure each pet feels secure and stress-free. I always prioritize safety, whether that means securing leashes properly, monitoring food and medication schedules, or keeping playtime supervised. Building trust with both pets and owners is extremely important to me, and I’m committed to treating every home and animal with respect and care.


12. Alina P.
“I cannot recommend Alina enough as a dog sitter! She took care of my fur baby while I was away and provided top-notch service. Alina is reliable, caring, and truly loves animals. She went above and beyond to make sure my dog was comfortable and happy. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. I will definitely be using Alina's services again in the future!”


13. Iuliia A.

“Iuliia was an awesome sitter for our 8-month old goldendoodle, Lili! Not only did I feel like Lili was in great, caring hands with Iuliia, but Iuliia was great at communicating prior to our booking and scheduled meetup time. It was the first time Lili went with someone she didn't know, and I was a little worried how she would do separating, but she felt immediately comfortable with Iuliia and all was smooth start to finish. Iuliia provided photos of the day's events and followed the given care instructions to the T. Overall, working with Iuliia was a seamless experience from first contacting her here on Rover to her handing over Lili back to us. I would definitely work with her again and would recommend her to others.”


14. Sarah R.

“Zeeba enjoyed her time with Sarah. Zeeba took some initial minutes to get use to Sarah’s dog, but once I left, Zeeba was in great hands. I would book her again.”

She was well taken care of for the day (meals, walks, Love)… Miryam kept in touch with plenty of photos which allowed me to not worry and enjoy my event.❤️ I would definitely use Miryam and her service when needed. Luna & I say Thank You Miryam❣️”


16. Jaime S.

“Jamie was great with my German Shepherd! This was the first time Ada was away from me or her 3 siblings. Little nervous the first day but after that she looked forward to going with Jamie once she saw him. Her acceptance of him made me more relaxed. Very glad I found Jamie on Rover!”


17. Malik S.
“Malik is amazing when it comes to caring for animals. I've had him take care of my dogs and he did such an awesome job. My dogs are always so happy to see him whenever he cares for them. I totally recommend and trust Malik to care for your pets!”

20. Mailyn G.
“Thus, I would like to recommend Mailyn as a pet sitter for Rover.com. com. She is very punctual to work and very committed, caring, and loving to each animal that she is supposed to be handling. She was very much a compassionate person interested in animals and the way she handled them was exceptional. Our pet is always well taken care of by Mailyn and information and updates from her are always perfect. Hiring a Marilyn means that your pets will be in good hands since she treats them as her own. Mailyn is awesome 🩵”
