Sabina was amazing with my Rosy while I went home for the holidays. She was very professional and communicative, and she went above and beyond in making sure Rosy's needs were met. Even when unexpected issues arose, she handled them promptly, kept me posted on every step, and gave me options on how to handle the situation. I never once doubted that Rosy was in great hands.

About: I have had and taken care of pets my whole life! Dogs, cats, guinea pigs, birds, fish, you name it. I have a sweet-hearted dog named Yumi, who is a Husky / Rottweiler mix, that my partner and I rescued in 2023. I’m great with all dogs and cats, young and energetic, or older and in need of a bit of care. My primary job is as a wedding videographer. Meaning that I have a lot of time free during the weekdays that I can dedicate to caring for your best friend! I have a large row home with a backyard, and Yumi gets along great with other dogs! I can easily crate your dog if needed. I’m happy to spend quality time with your pup in your home, or take them for a good long walk!

Heather starting walking our dog Stella in preparation for when I went into labor with our daughter in April. She’s been a huge help as we adjust to parenthood. Stella loves Heather. She’s always excited for her walks with Heather, and comes back relax. Heather is always prompt and great communicator if any conflicts arise.

About: Aside from growing up with a dog and always around friends and family members' pets, I have also been a pet-sitter for family and neighbors since I was 15. This included walking and feeding dogs and feeding and playing with indoor and outdoor cats. I also have experience with cat-sitting for pets with special diets. I am a pet-lover through and through, and two years ago, I finally adopted my two cats, Olive and Martin. It has been a blast to care for them and watch them grow while I work from home. My cat Olive is on a special diet, making me comfortable caring for cats with different dietary needs. I am also very comfortable with providing cats medicine, as I've had to do that with my pets at times. As I previously mentioned, I work from home and am looking to help out folks by taking good care of your pets when you need it. I work from home, so my schedule is incredibly flexible. I am available on weekdays in the early mornings, over lunch, and in the evening. I also completely available on weekends. I am really looking forward to spending my free time with more pets! I first ensure that I have all the necessary information needed to appropriately care for your pet. When visiting your home, I always ensure that I make the pet as comfortable with a new person as possible. If your pet is comfortable, I always play with your pets and give them lots of pets. Most importantly, I ensure that they are fed, have water, and go outside/have a clean litter box. Lastly, I will communicate my visits with you and send pictures of your pets!

Christa was great! I've only used Rover twice, but I'm very happy with my experience so far. Christa was great with my dog, Huck. She was very communicative and sent me pictures and updates. My dog seemed happy and well-cared for when I got home. I would definitely recommend Christa to other pet owners. I hope this is helpful!

About: I’ve been taking care of pets all my life, as I’ve come from an animal loving family! I’ve additionally pet sit for friends and family and am comfortable with adapting to different energies as well as administering special diets and medications. I’m a fairly active person who loves getting out of the house and moving, and my neighborhood is very walkable- full of one way streets and wide sidewalks! My boarding rate is higher than my other rates because I only ever board one pet at a time. Your pet will be getting individual, dedicated care in a safe environment! I work remotely, so am home most of the day. I am available for regular care of your pet and the flexibility of my schedule allows me to take breaks as needed! My home is pet and smoke and pet free, and the back patio has six foot high cement walls. I have a pet gate on my staircase for when I leave the house, so no fear if your furry friend likes to scrounge in clothing or laundry! Additionally, the entrance to my house has a secondary door which is always closed, so there’s no chance of accidental pet breakouts while entering or leaving the house.

Jack has been absolutely wonderful with our dogs, Birdie and Lucia. From the moment they met, Birdie didn’t even look back once she started walking with Jack, and she’s thrilled after every walk. Jack is very in tune with our dogs’ different personalities and needs, and we are so grateful to have someone so kind and trustworthy to care for our pets.
