“Sasha was fantastic. We have a young puppy with a lot of energy, she not only played and ran around with him but was also patient in dealing with his puppy antics. Would definitely have her in our home again and highly recommend her services for your fur baby (just not on the days that we need her for ours :)”


“Jon was the best sitter I ever had through Rover. I was very pleased when I met with him ahead of time, during the time he was sitting my dogs and when I came home everything looked as it should - He even brought in my packages for me and set them aside. Great person and a great sitter. Hope to use again -”


“Mauri truly saved the day at the very last minute! I couldn’t see my puppy through the camera and was extremely worried — I even feared something had happened to him. I booked with Mauri just minutes in advance, and she responded so quickly and kindly. She gave me peace of mind right away. 100% recommended — I’d definitely book with her again! 🫶🏻”

About: Experienced in overnight and drop-in pet sitting since 2021, I am an animal lover who is happy to care for your beloved furry friends. Rescue animals have a special place in my heart! I work school hours (8-3:15) in Manhattan on most weekdays, so I am available for drop-ins after work. On weekends, I am often available to drop ins or overnight shifts. I will follow your instructions and your pets’ routines for feedings, playtime, walks, and medication administration if necessary. I prioritize the wellbeing and comfort of your pets as well as your peace of mind that your furry friends are in good hands.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 18 years old, and over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. I also have professional experience in pet grooming, having worked as both a bather and a dog groomer. This gives me an edge in handling pets gently and confidently, especially during bath time or when dealing with nervous or high-energy pets. Whether it’s daily care, grooming needs, or providing extra attention to puppies or senior pets, I bring patience, skill, and genuine love for animals to every job. I am currently working in a Pet Grooming as a dog groomer during the week. My availability is only on weekends but I am open for a conversation. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets feel safe and loved. I follow any instructions provided closely—whether it’s feeding routines, medication, or special preferences—and I always take the time to build trust with each animal at their own pace

About: I've taken care of dogs of every size (small, medium, large) and household cats! Love to teach (or at least try to teach) your pups new tricks when you're away. I work at U of M Hospital, so I will have time to hang out with your animals most days of the week (mornings, evenings, nights) and weekends! Safety is my top priority when it comes to caring for your animals. Depending on the animal, I'll work with the owner to make sure we have a safety plan in place.


“This was my first time using Rover. It was a great experience. Manny was courteous and sociable with my 7 month GSD. He exceeded my expectations with just a 1 hour drop in visit. He offered to walk my dog which I was not expecting. My dog was happy to play with Manny and my dog's jumping did not bother him too much! Def would recommend to other dog owners!”

“Sage is one of the kindest, most gentle, and loving souls I’ve ever met. I have watched them handle dogs of different breeds, sizes, and attitudes with grace. Out of the kindness of their heart Sage walks their own dog for several hours almost every day. He is a lover of all living things, saving small bugs from my pool, stopping to look at pretty flowers, and enjoying walks through nature. My three dogs absolutely adore him, even our pup with some trauma and anxiety. If you’re looking for someone who will go out of their way to make your animal feel loved, Sage is your best bet.”
