This is the first time we are bringing a pet sitter home. Hajida did a phenomenal job taking care of Coco. Coco is 17.5 years old and recently lost her sight. Hajida made her feel very comfortable and bonded amazingly with her.

About: With years of experience caring for multiple cats and dogs at home, I truly understand their needs and quirks. I also watch dogs of all sizes and ages, ensuring they feel loved and secure in their own environment. I am dedicated to providing the best care for your pets and believe having them stay in a location they are familiar with is the ideal stay. I work from home when booked, allowing me to adjust my schedule to be fully available on booked days. I bring my laptop setup with me and I'm all set. Have an extremely flexible schedule. I take great joy in walking dogs and giving them the attention they deserve, ensuring they feel loved and cared for during their time with me. I watch dogs in your own home to ensure they feel comfortable with an environment they are used to and to avoid any additional stress.

About: I am a former employee at All Good Dogs: Day Care and Boarding. Aside from working the front desk, I would take care of as many as 20 dogs at a time. Some of my responsibilities include feeding them on time, making sure they received their medication on time, playing with them, loving them, and of course taking adorable pictures! I have an extremely flexible schedule. I am usually available 7 days a week, with varying times. Like I said before, I am flexible and will be able to work with anyones schedule. I provide a safe, loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I follow each pet’s routine closely: feeding, walking, playtime, and giving lots of affection. I ensure clean spaces, fresh water, and regular updates to the owner. I respect every pet’s unique needs and make their comfort my priority.

Liana was wonderful and took great care of my dogs. She communicated with me sending me pictures and updates. She followed my care instructions beautifully and my home was clean upon my return. She was also very flexible when our flights were canceled. I definitely plan on using her again in the future. She do a great job!

About: I am an experienced pet sitter and parent to two cats, Bubba and Mama, and our sweet rescue dog, Daisy. I have experience with cats and dogs of all sizes and temperaments. My flexible WFH schedule enables me to be an attentive sitter and my camera roll is often full of pet photos so you will receive plenty of updates :). I work from home full-time with a flexible schedule so I can build my day around pet visits and check-ins, a perk my own pets continue to benefit from. I live in a pet-friendly community with plenty of green space and walking paths. My home has no stairs (perfect for short-legged or elderly pets) with direct access to open grass (we often have deer visitors!).

Simply put, Joey was outstanding, both with his care of Pablo as well as management of our home while staying here. As a person, he’s a young man of high integrity who is kind, thoughtful, and detail oriented! He loves dogs; kept me posted with text and pics; and maintains a positive and loving temperament. He exceeded my expectations and would give him my highest recommendation!

Yana took the time to visit with our family before staying at our home with Charlie. He had instantly taken to her gentle manner which made us feel so comfortable. She exercised patience with his sometimes stubborn but lovable manner. We loved her daily texts with pictures outlining how the day went. I feel at ease knowing she is caring for our Charlie.

About: I’ve been a professional pet caregiver for the last 25 years, so it’s safe to say I’ve seen it all! Whether it’s a high-energy dog walk or quality time with a picky cat, I’m all about positive reinforcement and understanding what makes each pet tick. I also have extensive experience with TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) and managing feral colonies, so I’m very comfortable with shy, nervous, or 'difficult' personalities. From adventurous pups to senior cats who just want a quiet head scratch, I’m here to make sure every animal feels safe and loved while you’re away. I take my job seriously, but my main goal is to be the best part of your pet's day! As a teacher, my schedule for pet sitting is mostly part-time, but I’m very flexible and always try my best to accommodate your needs! Whether you need a regular mid-day check-in or a last-minute visit, I’m happy to work with you to find a time that fits perfectly for your pet. Just send me a message and we can make it work! When your dog stays with us, they’re truly part of the family! We share our home with two very friendly cats who are used to having canine visitors, and my entire household is made up of skilled animal lovers. Because we’re a family of 'pet people,' your pup will get constant attention, rounds of play, and plenty of couch cuddles. If your dogs are cat-friendly and love being around people, they’re welcome to stay with us for as long as they need—we’ll treat them just like one of our own!

Wilson was awesome! Our dog isn’t the friendliest with others, but Wilson took a chance with our family and we’re so grateful that he did. We gave him very specific instructions since our dog is very particular, and he followed everything perfectly. On top of that, he made the effort to play with our dog and give him attention — and to our surprise, our dog (who usually takes a long time to warm up to anyone) was comfortable with Wilson in just two days! He truly went above and beyond. We are so grateful and thankful. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend Wilson to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring person to watch their pet. Highly recommend!

About: I’m new to Rover and am a life-long pet lover eager to provide assistance to pet owners in need. I will treat your pet like my own due to my sincere love for animals. I have many years of experience taking care of dogs and don’t have a pet of my own at the moment, so I am able to be available more often. I am available Monday-Friday from 430pm until the evening, and whenever on Saturdays and Sundays. I am open to same day bookings if you have last minute plans and need help, please let me know! :) I will make sure your pet is well taken care of and comfortable. Upon arrival I will make sure their water bowl is filled with cold fresh water and can feed them if this is something that is needed. I will also make sure there is nothing hazardous within their reach or on the ground to ensure they are safe until your return

We had an amazing experience with Jake! From the start, he was extremely communicative, which immediately helped us feel confident and at ease. He followed every request we had for Ollie and his little, it was very clear Jakr genuinely cared about making sure Ollie felt comfortable and happy. We received updates throughout the visit, which we really appreciated, and it was so reassuring to know that Ollie was in such kind and capable hands. Our pup can be a little particular, but seemed like he warmed up quickly, which says a lot about the care and patience he was shown. Overall, we’re incredibly grateful to have found someone so reliable, attentive, and compassionate. We will absolutely be booking with Jake again, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dog walker who truly goes above and beyond for your furry family member!
