Daniela and Mike are the best! They know just how to make our scaredy-dog comfortable, and they always send pictures and updates so we know how things are going. Our dog LOVES when she gets to hang with them. :)

As always, my dog was loved, snuggled and well taken care of while I was gone. I always feel good about leaving her in Daniela's hands!

Dani always takes such great care of our dog and kitties. She follows our routine, and our babies are always happy to see her. She also takes great care of our home while we’re away. Highly recommend her!

Schedule

Having used pet sitters in the past, we understando that booking a sitter can be stressful and confusing, particularly through a website where there are many profiles to read over and choose from. For the safety and comfort of all parties involved, we do REQUIRE a meet and greet prior to booking any new clients. We ALWAYS conduct these in a public, outdoor setting to make sure that everyone is safe. Not only is this a great opportunity to meet your pet’s potential care takers, but it also helps put a face to our profile, answer any questions or concerns you may have, and make sure that we (you, your pet & us) are all comfortable with one another and can meet each other’s expectations and needs.

As stated above, we do require meet and greets prior to booking any new clients. Every dog has different quirks & needs, and we truly believe that a thorough conversation about their temperament, behavior and level of socialization will ensure that we are a great match for one another. Any and all questions we ask are aimed at giving us the best overall picture of your pet’s personality, and will give us the information we need to make sure we give you and your fur baby a wonderful experience. This is the perfect time to get to know us and share any concerns or questions you may have.
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.
