“Jennifer was amazing. She kept me up to date with King and sent several pictures and videos. I will be bringing him back in August. Thanks Jenn!”


“Jessica was a great cat sitter for Stanley. She was able to care for him as per my instructions and really reassured me during the stay.

“Carol was absolutely awesome! She checked in with us daily, sent photos, and reassured us that our pups were in good hands. She was flexible which we needed as we were hiring her ahead of having our baby who ended up coming early and she was gracious enough to move up our days. When she had questions she would reach out which we appreciated as our pups have skin issues and very sensitive stomachs. Carol and her family love pets and it is so evident by how happy our pups were at pick up and we will 100% be leaving our pups with her again. When we were driving off our pups were crying because they didn't want to leave. Thank you for taking such good care of them!”

About: I'm a grounded, patient, and nurturing person who truly enjoys the company of dogs. While I may not have a backyard, I more than make up for it with frequent walks, park visits, and plenty of 1 on 1 attention. I believe in creating a calm and loving environment where dogs of all ages and energy levels can feel safe and relaxed. One of the things I’m most proud of is helping my own rescue dog grow from a timid pup, afraid of her own shadow, into a confident walker who loves the outdoors. That experience taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and empathy. Skills I bring to every dog I care for. Over the years, friends and family have trusted me with their furry companions, knowing I treat them like my own. Whether your dog loves adventure or prefers a slower pace, I’ll tailor their care to make sure they feel right at home. Since I work from home, I’m able to give pets the time and attention they deserve throughout the day. Whether it's going for relaxing walks, offering plenty of pets and affection, or just being a calming presence nearby, I love having a furry companion as part of my routine. Your pet won’t just be “watched” they’ll be part of my daily life. I live in a cozy, pet friendly apartment with my sweet and well behaved female dog. I create a calm and welcoming environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I make sure to follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible. Whether that means timely meals, regular walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship. I’m attentive to their comfort, keep a tidy space, and ensure they feel at home while in my care. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet like they’re part of the family.


About: My heart doesn’t know any other way-when it comes to animals, I love them instantly and unconditionally. I have 18+ years of experience caring for animals, starting from a very young age. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have cared for both Pitbulls and French Bulldogs but to me, breed doesn’t matter. I truly love all animals, big or small. I’m bilingual and speak both English and Spanish, which helps me connect with a wider range of pet parents and provide clear, open communication. I’ve always been the go-to person for anything pet-related. My family calls me the dog whisperer because I have a natural bond with animals, especially dogs. Whether it’s advice, health concerns, or just being a listening ear, I’m the one family and friends trust with their fur babies. My soul dog was a red nose pitbull named Bricks- he taught me what real love is. Since then, I’ve raised three amazing French Bulldogs: Juicy, Kuma, and Tron. I also had the incredible experience of raising two litters from birth- Juicy had 5 puppies and Kuma had 6. I provided round-the-clock care until they were ready for their forever homes. I still keep in touch with the families- they became part of mine. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I regularly pet-sit for friends, family, and neighbors-dogs and cats alike. One of my most consistent companions is Max, my neighbor’s dog, whom I’ve been caring for for over a year. I give him daily medication and make sure he always feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I’ve also cared for a bearded dragon, who was part of our family for 11 wonderful years. I’m familiar with reptile needs, feeding, handling, and tank care. I also have experience caring for a cockatiel, including feeding, changing water, and maintaining a calm, happy environment for birds. I’m experienced with: Giving medication Drop-in visits Long walks and playtime Baths and basic grooming Feeding routines and crate care Newborn puppy care and socialization Basic reptile and bird care I truly treat every pet like they’re my own because in my heart, they are. The amount of kisses, cuddles, love, and attention your pet will receive is immense. I go above and beyond to make sure every animal feels safe, comforted, and cared for like family. I’m also very communicative and will keep you updated with photos, videos, and messages so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. You can trust me to provide more than just care. I offer love, safety, and genuine companionship. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life! I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent attention, walks, feedings, and lots of love throughout the day. Whether it’s early morning potty breaks, midday walks, or evening snuggles, I can easily adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. Being home full-time means your pet will never feel alone and will always have someone nearby to care for and comfort them. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m visiting yours, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. At my home, pets have plenty of room to play and relax-I have a large fenced-in yard that's perfect for safe outdoor time and supervised play. If your pet is crate-trained or needs a crate for naps or bedtime, I can easily accommodate that too. I follow each pet’s routine closely-feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special care instructions-to make sure they feel at home. If I’m in your home, I respect your space and ensure everything is done exactly how you’d like. I’m also very communicative and will send regular updates, photos, and videos so you always know your pet is safe and well cared for. I treat every pet like family and work hard to create a calm, loving, and secure environment, whether they’re with me or in their own home.

“Kira had such a great time at Maureen’s for her 2 night stay! Maureen gave Kira lots of attention which we appreciated since Kira can be a bit anxious. Maureen also watches Kira on a regular basis for doggy day care and is always great with her! We would not hesitate to have Kira over for a future stay!”


“Juan and his family took great care of our dog while we were out of town for a week. He was quick to respond to our messages and provided us with updates as to how she was doing. We would gladly use his services again in the future.”


“Fantastic experience for my dog Champ. zuleyka was very communicative and sent me updates of Champ as requested. I trust her and her family so much they are my number one go-to whenever I need dog sitting”


About: I am fully dedicated to providing the best care to ensure dogs are happy and healthy! My family has owned dogs my whole life. I have been a dog owner of my own for the past 5 years. I currently have two dogs of my own, two chihuahua mixes, who are my top priority at all times. I give my all into their care, making sure they always have what they need, whether that be walks, treats or extra belly rubs! I will make sure the same effort goes into my care for your pet(s)! I am currently a teacher, but during the summer my availability is more flexible. With enough notice, I am available for boarding on the weekends, or throughout the week and available for walks or drop-ins at your convenience any day of the week. During the week and on the weekends, I am available at any hour. Happy to work with your schedule! I have two friendly fur babies at home to keep your pet company. I walk my dogs daily whether around the block or at the park near my house that always has room for a plus one! My place is also full of toys that are ready for sharing! I can also crate if needed. I am comfortable giving any medications if necessary as well. Flexible with any special requests also.

Celeste G.
“Celeste watched my brother’s dog (Benji) who is terrified of even stop signs. It was incredible to witness first hand the way she helped him feel safe and confident. Whether is was sitting with him during quiet moments , going for walks, or giving him time to adjust at his own pace, she made sure he felt supported.

Hawthorne pet parents share their Rover experiences
At first I was very skeptical dropping off my dog with special accommodations with a sitter, but Zuleyka made sure my baby was fed and treated right the whole time, and updated us periodically with videos and updates. I will definitely bring my dog back once I need a sitter again.

Archie always comes back so happy from Elizabeth and Oleg's house! Thanks for taking such good care of him.

Before Emmie's stay with Ksenia, we planned a meet and greet in which we learned Ksenia was very knowledgeable and had alot of experience with animals. Ksenia was amazing with our Emmie. She was great at keeping in touch with us while we were away to ensure our dog was safe and comfortable. We will definitely be keeping in touch for future services!

Great stay with daily updates as usual! Raymond and his two pups are Vanderbilt’s home away from home. Glad we found him!

Kira had such a great time at Maureen’s for her 2 night stay! Maureen gave Kira lots of attention which we appreciated since Kira can be a bit anxious. Maureen also watches Kira on a regular basis for doggy day care and is always great with her! We would not hesitate to have Kira over for a future stay!

Michelle is a fantastic dog sitter, she was very friendly and receptive to all of Mochi's behaviors. She was always in close contact, asking about how to make Mochi more comfortable when she was scared during a thunderstorm and making sure she was doing the right things to care for our dog. Her dog Delilah is also very friendly and fluffy and cute. Would definitely book a stay with her again!

Our senior pup Millie stayed with Pam and family for one night and received excellent care.. We will definitely use Pam again .

Once again, a great experience with Laura, Kevin, and their family. It’s so comforting to know that our dog is in a loving home and getting the BEST care while we are away! Thanks so much!
Mylo seem so happy with his sitter. She provided constant updates and pictures. We were very pleased with her service.

Thank you again Lisa for taking such good care of Brigitta while I was at my son's wedding . It was so comforting to know she was in such good hands . Sadly we lost her two weeks later but knowing she felt safe with you and your amazing kindness will always be remembered .

Great service! Pablo was happy and well cared for. Loved getting photo updates. We will definitely book again.

We recently had our dog May stay with Ritu & Nischaya and we couldn't be happier with the experience! From the moment we met, it was clear that they genuinely care about animals. May can be a bit shy at first, but she quickly warmed up thanks to their calm and friendly approach. Throughout the stay, we received regular updates and photos/videos, which really helped us feel at ease while we were away. It was clear May was getting plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. When we got home, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We highly recommend Ritu & Nischaya to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and loving dog sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again in the future!

Maria was an amazing sitter! Winnie was so comfortable with her and she was super responsive and flexible :) Would definitely book again

My husband and I went away for an extended weekend and had Kathy watch our Effy and Stella. They had the best time! Kathy took them on long walks, a hike, and played with them in the yard. They came home pooped! We’ll definitely rebook with Kathy in the future!

Mark was so great with our big boy, Benny. He requires a lot of exercise/hikes, which Mark willingly took him for. I am extremely picky about who I leave him with, but Mark had me feeling confident in his abilities from the moment we met. He's a really nice guy. I highly recommend him!

Robert and Doris are absolutely the best people to trust your beloved pet. They will take amazing care of you baby and they will be loved, cared and entertained. They are truly the best.

As a first time user of Rover, Nour was just the right sitter to put my fears to rest! She has excellent communication, is very transparent, and never overpromises. I was assured videos and photos each day and she went above and beyond to make my little Mako feel loved with each moment! Highly recommend!!
