Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible to keep pets comfortable and stress free. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of playtime and affection, and that their space stays clean and tidy.

Information Calista M. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know your pet’s routine, favorite toys, feeding schedule, and any quirks or habits that make them unique. The more I know, the better I can keep them happy and comfortable!

A typical day

I tailor activities to each pet’s personality—whether that’s long walks, interactive play sessions, or quiet companionship. My goal is to make sure they’re entertained, relaxed, and well cared for.

Active & Caring Dog Sitter

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life - everything from big, playful labs, to small dachshunds and terriers. I’ve always been the go-to sitter for friends and neighbors, and I truly love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so your pup will get plenty of attention, walks, and playtime. As a distance runner, I’m also happy to take high-energy dogs on longer walks or runs.

This was the third time using Calista for Norman and Zoe. She is consistent with her care, and it’s helpful having someone who already knows the dogs and their routine. Everything went as expected.

This was the second time Calista watched our two dachshunds, and she was once again phenomenal. She stayed for 6 days and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. It’s such a relief to have a sitter we can truly trust—she did a great job and the dogs clearly love her!"

Attentive, easy to work with, and great communication. Would certainly use her again to watch our dogs.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
