Pet care experience

Happy pets, happy humans :)

My love for animals. I’ve never been able to have a pet of my own, so I’ve poured a lot of my time to take care of the pets around me. I first started walking dogs at the age of 10, and I volunteered at my local animal shelter from 8th-12th grade. The breadth of animals I’ve interacted with has taught me how to attune my care specifically to each animal. I have experience with both cats and dogs, and I love both equally.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, pets have pretty much are able to wander everywhere. I try to keep them in the basement or my room mostly, though, because they have the most space. In other people’s homes, I care for their pets exactly as they request. If they want their pet to stay in a specific room, I’ll make sure they do.

Diya was great. This was her first time bird sitting, and it went very well. She was on time, set my mind at ease by confirming our visit and wrote a nice summary of her visits. I plan to use Diya again.

Very communicative throughout the stay. She asked questions to make sure she was caring for my cats appropriately.

We have been very lucky to have Diya as a regular walker and occasional sitter. She's incredibly communicative and wonderful with our dog Luna, who's absolutely crazy about her.

I’m currently a college student, but my academic schedule is highly flexible. I have no classes on Mondays and Fridays in addition to the weekend, and I have only one class on Wednesday. My mornings are almost always free, and my afternoons and evenings on days I don’t have classes are also typically free.

Diya can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
It would be very helpful to know how much your dog pulls on the leash, and any triggers or habits they may have when walking. Examples would include barking excessively at squirrels/birds or becoming skittish around other 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.
