“Doechii "hanging" with Ivy. She was kind, full of patience, respectful, and super friendly. She watched my dog for 10 days while I went out of the country. I felt confident that my pet was being taken care of and didn't ever worry about her wellbeing while being far away. She was super respectful of my home and sent me pictures often. I will definitely be booking her again!!! Doechii and I are so glad that we met her.”


“Sofya was fantastic with buttercup. I got home and could tell my girl was very well taken care of, even bathed! Sofya was excellent at keeping me updated on everything and I loved receiving the pictures. She went out of her way to make sure buttercup and I were comfortable with her. Also a very respectful houseguest! Definitely recommend.”

“Chase loves Imani! Her calm and friendly demeanor were an A+ and just what my dog enjoys. Imani was great with his high energy and sent me lots of pics and updates. I will definitely book her again.”


“I can’t recommend Alex enough! He accepted a very last minute booking, due to another sitter cancelling, and helped ensure I didn’t stress about it. Alex’s communication was thorough from start to finish - he even sent pics and vids throughout the day. He’s really great with dogs, and even helped me with a few pointers with my new pup. Definitely a reliable and caring guy!”

About: With over 10 years of experience in pet care, I have developed a deep understanding of both dogs and cats. My services extend beyond the basics of feeding, walking, and supervising; I am skilled in administering medication and providing thorough baths when needed. This extensive experience has equipped me to handle a wide range of pet needs with compassion and expertise, ensuring that each furry friend receives the best possible care while their owners are away. I’m currently working part time and will have plenty of time to care and take care of your pet. I will walk as much as you would recommend and also go for runs. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space within the house. I always have an eye out and will block off areas when need be. I keep a clean and tidy home and no scraps are ever left on floor.

“Julina was great! She was very responsive, sent lots of updates, and helped make our first experience with Rover a positive one. When she asked if our new dog would be interested in playing and learning from her dog, Loki, we jumped at the chance. They played so well together and our dog came out of his shell. We'll be calling on Julina (and Loki) again.”

About: I have been caring for dogs ever since I can remember and in particular I started caring for them professionally around 5 years ago. I have yet to meet a dog I could not handle, even ones that people would call big and scary. I believe this comes from a firmly held belief that if you treat a dog right, they will stand by you forever. I am experienced with dogs from young to old, small to large, and docile to super hyper. I attempt to accommodate any and all requests to the best of my abilities. In addition I would be more than happy to meet a prospective client free of charge before watching their pet. In general, I am available nightly starting at 7 PM except for Fridays where I am unavailable. Wednesday nights and the Saturday nights I am available from 9:30 PM and onwards. Sundays, I am available all day. In general, I do not watch dogs in my own home. In regards to the pet Owner’s home I do whatever I can to accommodate all safety requests and needs.

I’ve done dog walking and boarding for many years now as well and I would love to continue to provide for animals rain or shine. I currently work from home so the most I leave for are some social events here and there or groceries. I have transportation if pick up and drop off is needs as well. I have a gated yard around my apartment. There grass and all the other animals in the building run around and use the property. I provide at least three walks/potty breaks a day, take time to train and reward. I’ve giving medication and baths on request as well.
