About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, extra playtime, or a little patience and encouragement, I’m happy to provide attentive care and regular updates so you can have peace of mind. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care throughout the week. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and bathroom breaks while making sure each pet receives the attention and care they need. I’m committed to being reliable, punctual, and communicative so pet parents always know their furry family member is in good hands. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and walking preferences. During walks, I remain attentive to my surroundings and keep pets securely leashed unless otherwise instructed in a safe, enclosed area. In your home, I will respect your space, maintain your pet’s routine, and provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident your pet is receiving excellent care while you’re away.

About: • 30 Minute Drop-Ins include potty breaks, feeding, playtime and of course plenty of snuggles to keep your pet happy and comfortable while you're away. I go above and beyond with detailed "report cards", daily photo and video updates, or regular check-ins via text or email. I take the time to build trust with nervous, shy, or reactive dogs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. I work part-time from Saturday through Tuesday, but I'm completely free on my days off and on Monday mornings until 2:00 PM. I'd love to provide companionship and care during those times, ensuring your pet is never alone for long. I always match the owner’s exact routine to keep the pet calm. I provide tailored in-home care for all types of pets, ensuring they stay safe and happy in their own environment. I treat every home with respect and send regular updates so you have peace of mind

I am a return customer. I made a mistake and missed the window to review on her previous visit, so I had to make sure to tell you guys how Jules is awesome. My dogs love her. Jules followed the instructions on feeding them perfectly so it’s like I never left. It’s so peaceful knowing my dogs are in good reliable care. I tell my friends to Book Jules.

Lidia was our dog sitter for the Labor Day weekend and did a wonderful job! She visited our pups exactly as scheduled and made sure they were well cared for — playing with them, letting them out, refilling their water bowls, and feeding them. She gave them lots of love and attention, which made us feel at ease while we were away. One of the highlights was how well she kept us updated. Lidia sent us plenty of pictures from every visit and shared regular updates on how our dogs were doing. We felt completely confident that they were in great hands. We truly enjoyed having Lidia take care of our dogs, and they clearly enjoyed her too! We will definitely be booking her again.

About: I have been dog sitting with my father through Rover since I was 13. Now that I have moved out and have a cat, I am excited to care for your furry friends! I am a medical student on summer break currently working remotely. This gives me the flexibility to walk and take care of dogs most days. I am almost always in the area since I work from home. My previous experience with Rover has taught me the ins and outs of taking care of dogs and cats alike.

I was out of town this past weekend and this was the first time I tried Rover to find someone to care for my dogs. Malik was very patient and kind when it came to my somewhat “tedious” instructions when it came to making sure my dogs were properly taken care of. Everything I asked/requested he did it for me with no issue. My only reason why I am leaving you 4 stars and not 5 is because on the last visit, which was the longest/messiest one because of my puppy, I understand you were in a rush so you did leave but it feels like you just did a drop and go and did not complete the job. You left trash in the trash can that you used to help clean up the mess instead of throwing it out , my swiffer was laid face up with a dirty pad on it in my living room right where the puppy is which is a risk etc , and where I live there is very high mice activity that I have been trying to combat so this condition does not help at all with doing so and this alone causes me great anxiety. Literally other than the last bit of the visit I would absolutely book Malik again as my sitter in the future.

Sylvia is 100% amazing!! On an international trip, my internet connection was super challenging (unexpectedly). Each time I was able to obtain signal, I was flooded with the best pictures of my Teddy, and great check ins from Sylvia. I immediately knew that Teddy was in great care and I was at ease in my heart. Sylvia's great communication and diligence was non-stop, even when my communication went down! This added so much literal PEACE to my time away. I will use her again and again in the future for sure.

The boys love her so much! I’ve had to use another sitter before when Lindsay wasn’t available, and the boys definitely have favorites — Lindsay is the favorite 💕 The photos she sends always showcase how much they adore her. Oscar is usually pretty shy, but he comes right out when Lindsay arrives 😏 Both boys are purring nonstop, and I can even see Max making happy biscuits in the photos. It genuinely warms my heart! I also recently had a little medication change with Oscar, and Lindsay was more than willing to medicate him every day without hesitation. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing they’re in such loving, capable hands. Litter boxes are always clean, she changes water dishes daily. 10/10 best sitter I have had.
