“John was so friendly and seemed so genuinely excited to see Dua. He sent a note after her first ever day there that really made my day. Plus Dua seems to have had the time of her life playing with Pax, cause she is absolutely pooped when she gets home. She’s definitely living her best life when she’s staying with John.”

“Laura was so great - our dog is a little nervous and can struggle to relax in new environments but did so well with Laura. She also provided multiple updates during the day that made us feel at ease with a new sitter.”

“Moses was wonderful with Nioh! His patience and calm energy made such a difference, especially for my high-energy dog who gets anxious in new places. He cared for and played with Nioh like his own, and I could tell at pick-up how much Nioh enjoyed his day. I’d highly recommend and rebook with him anytime! Thanks so much Moses!”

“Porkchop got along with Domino and Pippy very well. I dont think he wanted to leave. First Friday ever, has Porkchop slept through the night and let me sleep in until 830 am instead of the usual 5 am. So thankful. Definitely using Hillary, Domino, and Pippy again.”

About: Hi, I'm Vadim, and this is my fiancée, Vira! I’ve completed certified pet training courses, and Vira studied Veterinary Medicine at university. We've grown up with both dogs and cats, so we truly understand how hard it can be to leave one of your most beloved family members in someone else’s care. We’ve completed over 35 five-star pet-sitting assignments across 26 countries and 5 U.S. states, and we have experience with pets of all sizes and temperaments—both dogs and cats alike. Vira and I are both marathon runners—though only Vira has actually crossed the finish line! I’m a startup founder working from home, and Vira also works remotely as a data analyst. Because we travel and relocate often, we’re not able to have pets of our own. That’s why caring for your pets is such a joy for us—we treat them with the same love and attention we’d give our own. My partner Vira and I rent a spacious apartment where your pet will spend most of their time with us. There will always be someone home to ensure your pets are well cared for. I’ve previously house-sat for an anxious dog that couldn’t be left alone for long periods, and since we both work from home, one of us is always available to keep your pet company.

“Elliott was amazing !!! As soon as me n my dog got there he greeted her. I honestly recommend him if you need a sitter. He gave me advice on how to properly train my puppy, such as walking her on the leash so she won’t pull.”

About: I Have been taking care of dogs with my 3 daughters ages 11, 15, and 17 for family and friends for about 2 years now. Ive decided to come on Rover to help some people out too and welcome their dogs into my house, I have a full apartment complex which will only be dedicated towards them, big and fenced yard. Tambien Hablamos Español! I can have animals at any time. I have 2 dogs already But they are on our first floor, our ROVER dogs are on the 2nd floor and have no contact with them and no risk either. Unless they’re friendly with other dogs. At least 2 people are always at home. Like I have stated, I have an empty apartment unit dedicated towards the animals, running water heater and a.c. I have a big backyard. We live in a good neighborhood. They can have fun outside. Constant potty breaks. We only require to bring your dogs bedding, required food if they have it, some toys, and any medication they take! Im home most of the time, but if im not, my daughters are! If they are alone, is when we go to church for 2 hours. 3x a week. In my house, our apartment has working ac and heater. It isnt fully furnished. So they haven plenty of space to move around. Their food is always given to them morning and night. Or however the client prefers it.

“Very happy with Marina's care. She is loving and caring with our Theo. He is a happy dog when he is under her care!”
