“I give Iman 5 stars times 20. This is my first time using Rover and I selected Iman for home drop in visits for the week I was on work related travel. To say I was nervous is an understatement. However, from the time I met Iman I knew she was the right choice. I perceived her to be a gentle, compassionate and honest person. This was important to me considering the temperament of my fur babies. One is a rescue due to abuse and none have ever been border and I wanted them to stay in the comfort of their own home. Yes I got that vibe from just meeting her. Very positive ora and energy. Iman exceeded my expectation. My 4 fur babies took to her right away and she cared for them as I would. You can tell this is not just work for Iman it’s what she loves. She absolutely has a love for and way with animals.t antisocial cats were even drawn to her. She made sure the house was locked and secured each time and that the alarm was set. I will definitely continue to utilize her services for my fur babies. I can’t express my gratitude enough for having such an amazing and outstanding sitter. Also, they loved her dog food. ❤️”

“Marissa was great! She arrived on time to meet my little pups before I went out of town, and also arrived on time the day I scheduled for her to come let them out. She played with them, took them for a walk, fed them, and changed out a potty pad.”

“Alexi was awesome and took great care of my cat Florence! Florence loved her!”

About: I've been helping care for animals for as long as I can remember! I have helped my family pet sit, volunteered at the animal shelter, and genuinely enjoy the company of animals. I am currently working as a freelance artist! Between gigs I have lots of flexible time to come take care of your pets. I am available for drop-ins/walks most days of the week, and I usually have some weekend availability! It's a priority of mine to establish trust with your animals! I am very keen on body language and other behavioral cues that allow me to meet your pets where they're at. If there are special instructions for an animal, I make sure to follow them to the letter.

“Mark is extremely responsible, timely communicates very well about any issue is able to handle a reactive dog. His patience and kindness are quite the asset.”

“Stefanie did a great job looking after our 3 cats while we were away! She provided lots of pictures/ videos and updates on how they did which made me feel that they were in great hands!”

About: I’m fortunate to have experience with a wide variety of animals thanks to my cousins, who have two cats, three dogs, a turtle, and a horse. I help care for their pets regularly, so I’m comfortable meeting the unique needs of animals of all kinds and treating each one like family. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m currently finishing up breast cancer treatment and have intentionally chosen pet sitting as my primary work. This gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and being able to provide reliable, loving care while I’m in this season of life has been incredibly rewarding. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. At my home, pets have access to a securely fenced backyard for supervised play, exercise, and potty breaks, along with plenty of attention, affection, and a comfortable place to relax. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s established schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any other care instructions. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.

About: I have taken care of animals for years, I have experience as a veterinary intern and as a volunteer at a cat cafe. I also have had the pleasure of owning multiple pets, 3 dogs and a cat. I’m currently working part time and about to start summer break from my university! I have one cat who I take of. So I am extremely available. I have a fenced in yard and have a cat that I feed and clean up after, I bathe, feed, and provide love and attention to my grandmas dog. In my clients home I’m there to provide their pets with comfort and reliability while there owners are you.

About: I have had and been around dogs since I was a child. Dogs seem to come to me naturally; without fear or hesitation. I honestly believe this is because I approach them with ease and am not forceful. It seemed like a natural step for me to join the Rover community. Ive also been a dog owner and currently have Jazzy who is my beloved Boston Terrier Mix with a big personality and sweet nature. Jazzy and I chose each other and its been an adventure ever since day one! she loves everyone but at times can be a little bossy. I'm well aware of who runs the household! I pride myself on ensuring that Jazzy stays healthy by giving her quality food and treats, Along with that she enjoys her fenced in yard and takes daily walks. We have lots of playtime and cuddles. I'll treat your dog as I would my own. That is my motto as I don't want you to worry or be concerned when you are away from your precious fur baby. I can't replace you, or would never try but rest assured your pet will receive all my tender loving care. I have had the opportunity to care for some dogs on Rover who have become regular clients. The owners have told me that they reach out to me first and hope that I am available. That is a huge compliment and I'm honored that I made such an impact on their four legged friend. All the pets I have met have their own unique personality and what I do as a sitter is simply take them for who they are which includes any little quirks. Canine or human, we all possess them. If you like what you see, let's schedule a meet and greet and see if I'm the right fit for your pet and their needs. Thanks for taking the time to get to know me and read my profile! I work remotely on a part time basis so can be available in the afternoon/evening and do pet sitting on the weekends away from my home. Well I make sure my dog Jazzy is loved and cared for each and every day. I give her good food and healthy treats. Daily walks and preventive meds to keep her healthy and strong.

About: I'm Jenni! I am a huge doggie lover and love children. I have 10+ years of experience working with dogs, including special needs and senior dogs. I also have 10+ years of working with children. I have a lot of patience. I have 2 dogs., Zoe, a Shih Tzu Maltese and Shuri a Cockapoo. I make sure that I am flexible with the needs of the fur babies I care for. I establish a routine that works well for everyone. While I do work, I am not far away and someone is usually home to give potty breaks mid day. I pride myself on working with families to make sure everyone is happy and ensure that extra snuggles and 1 on 1 is given if I am boarding multiple dogs. I have a secure fenced in backyard to allow your fur baby to get their zoomies out. I know how to properly secure your fur baby within their harness, collar and leash. If there is an animal that requires special needs or care (i.e. needing to be let out or walked alone) I practice proper safety ensuring that no one is hurt. I take the time to get to know each fur baby that comes through my doors ensuring their needs are met. On the occasion that I need to step out I will ensure they are safe in an XXL crate, or the crate you provide. I do NOT provide care to specific breeds, including but not limited to, pit bulls, bullies, Rottweiler, German shepherds, Cane Corsos, Presa Canarios, ASTs, etc. I work a FT teacher but with that comes a teacher schedule! I'm flexible and have several off days, such as holidays, which allows me the flexibility to care for your babies during peak seasons. We have a fenced in yard that is secured by 2 locked gates. I like to go off of a similar, if not the same routine that they are used to. I send lots of pictures and videos and try to have mini photoshoots of your babies if they allow! :). We treat every fur baby as our own so much they never want to leave.

“Emily did an awesome job doing drop-in visits with Sierra. She is great with communication, came for a meet n greet first and followed instructions for the visits. Sierra absolutely loved having her come over to play fetch in the yard, she got belly rubs, fed her treats and made sure she had fresh water before she left. I would absolutely have Emily again…she did a great job all around!”

“Ariel was fantastic with Shelby. She gave our very active dog all the attention, exercise, and care she needed. It was clear she was happy and well looked after. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”

“Sammi is very attentive. She listened to and followed through with the tasks requested, even when I had a tendency to change a few ideas from time to time. I definitely felt a lot more comfortable going on my trip with her watching my cats. There are also many other positives I can point out such as her having excellent communication, keeping up with updates, having exceptional people skills (which is still needed when dealing with pets) and truly making an effort to take care of my cats and ensure they and I were comfortable. I appreciated this greatly.”

About: My family has had dogs since I was young. I also pet sit for friends and family while they are away on trips. I will care for your pets as if they are my own! I am a teacher so I am off during the summers. I do tutor but am happy to work with you to see what times will work best for us and your pets :) I am more than happy to play with your pets inside (and outside if able) your home, crate if necessary and take walks as needed.

“Very dependable! Would definitely hire her again. Great job”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life ranging from fish, amphibians, rodents, birds, cats, and dogs. I love connecting with animals and giving them all the love they deserve! I also am a former vet assistant (I now work at a vet lab) so I have experience with pets of all ages, temperaments, and health statuses. My priority is the pets’ safety and comfort, and will work with them to ensure we have a foundation of trust. I also can work enrichment into my visits to get their minds more stimulated or just give them a 15 minute belly rub if that’s more up their alley. I’ve also trained many of my pets so I can help introduce basic commands to puppies or reinforce commands and manners from older pets. I’m available pretty much every day for the summer. Once mid-August comes around, I’ll be available Sunday-Tuesday at all times and Wednesday-Saturday from 9-11 AM I can come in let the pets out, clean up messes from them, feed/water, play enrichment games or work on training, and give them lots of love!
