“We truly appreciate Yanjin for looking after our dog well. Receiving pictures of him almost every day helped ease our minds and reduced how much we missed him. A special thank you for taking him on walks a couple of times—he really loves his walks. It seems like our dog had a wonderful time staying with her.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and i have taken care of others dogs for years. I have my own fur babies and I can’t imagine my life without them. I have such a deep love for all animals which is so important when owning and caring for pets. They are part of the family. Friends and family always know that they can rely on me to give their fur babies the best care and a cozy home away from home. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily life because I have a flexible schedule and genuinely love spending time with dogs. I don’t have a traditional work schedule, so I’m able to give pets the time, attention, and companionship they deserve throughout the day. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with them, giving them plenty of affection, and simply having them around while I go about my day. I’m able to be flexible with their individual routines and make sure they get regular bathroom breaks, meals, exercise, and lots of attention. I know every dog has their own personality and comfort level, so I like taking the time to get to know each pet and make them feel safe and at home. My goal is for every dog in my care to feel like they’re getting a fun, comfortable visit with a friend rather than simply being away from their family. I have a comfortable, dog-friendly home where pets can relax and feel at ease. What’s mine is theirs. I don’t have a fenced-in yard, so I always take dogs outside on a leash and make sure they get regular walks and bathroom breaks. I’m happy to adjust walks and activity levels based on each dog’s age, energy level, and individual needs. My home is also all on one level, which makes it a safe and comfortable environment for dogs of all ages and abilities. I’m especially mindful of dogs who may have mobility limitations or breeds that are more prone to back problems. I have dogs of my own(one being a mini dachshund), so I’m very comfortable caring for pets and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’ll give each pet plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and supervision while they’re in my care, and I’ll do my best to make them feel like part of the family while they’re here.

“My dog loved his time with Srinivasa! He loved being to be outside is his yard playing or lounging around. Srinivasa was also very attentive to Rex, when Rex wouldn’t eat his food, he so kindly gave him alternative options to get him to eat. I would definitely book again and would recommend him to any one!”

“I can not express enough how happy we were with Jayne! This was our first Rover experience and she put us at ease. From the moment we dropped them off, we knew they were in good hands. After we left, she sent updates with pictures attached showing how happy and content they were. What a relief!! No doubt in my mind they will be happy when we use her again.”

He kept us updated with pics and videos, which we really appreciated. Max was so comfortable at Javan’s house, he wasn’t ready to leave haha. We highly recommend Javan and will definitely book again!”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I am new to sitting for Rover. I haven been sitting dogs /homes since I was a teenager. From playful pups to gentle seniors, I’ve had the joy of raising and looking after a variety of breeds. I currently have four amazing dogs of my own—a Labrador Retriever, Rottweiler, Pit Bull mix, and Terrier mix—so I’m no stranger to different temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, belly rubs, or just a cozy nap in the sun, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. I treat every dog like family, and I can’t wait to meet yours! I work fully remote, which means I have a flexible schedule and can give your dog plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their established routines as closely as possible to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. During drop-in visits, I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, fresh water, and potty breaks—plus any feeding, medication, or special care instructions you provide. For dog walks, I ensure each walk is safe, engaging, and tailored to your dog’s energy level and preferences. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or a brisk walk to burn off energy, I always keep their safety and happiness top of mind.

About: As lifelong dog lovers, we know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pets in someone else’s care. We had two sweet dogs of our own for 14 and 12 years, and they were truly part of our family. Spoiled , loved, and very well cared for. We understand that every dog deserves patience, attention, safety, and lots of love while their owners are away. Your pup will be welcomed into our home like one of our own, with plenty of care, affection, and a comfortable environment to help them feel safe and happy. Pet care naturally fits into our daily routine because we genuinely enjoy having dogs around and caring for them. We’re home every day and used to structuring our days around feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and giving dogs plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. Our home is calm, safe, and pet-friendly, and we understand the importance of consistency and routine for dogs while their owners are away. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I do my best to keep things consistent and stress-free for them while their owners are away. In my home, pets will have a calm, clean, and welcoming environment with plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and affection throughout the day. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I’ll respect their space while making sure their pets stay comfortable in their familiar routine and environment. My goal is always to care for every pet as if they were my own.

This was our second time having Helenia watch Nova, and once again, we had a wonderful experience! She kept us updated with pictures and we even FaceTimed her, which gave us such peace of mind. Helenia and her husband made Nova feel completely welcomed and at home. Their home is beautiful, warm, and cozy, and it’s clear that Nova was well cared for and loved. We would absolutely book with Helenia again and highly recommend her!

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks.
