Pet care experience

Your Pup's New Stay-At-Home BFF!

I grew up learning essential pet care practices: from developing good habits, feeding and walking to understanding each dog’s unique needs, thanks to my father being a veterinarian. I had my own dogs in the past, giving me hands on experience of managing pets with love and care. I understand how important it is to find a sitter you can fully rely on. I work from home, so I can ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved, providing you with peace of mind and your pup with a joyful, comfortable experience.

We had such a wonderful experience with Garima! She took amazing care of Olie and treated him like he was her own. She was so caring, attentive, and loving, and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout his stay. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Olie was happy and in such good hands. Olie came home happy and relaxed, and we could tell he had a great time with Garima. We truly appreciate how thoughtful and caring she was. We highly recommend Garima to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pup. We will definitely be booking with her again! 🐾❤️

Garima did a fantastic job watching Libby and gave her a lot of attention. Libby was all smiles in the pics I received, which was frequent and most appreciated! I can tell by the pics that Libby had the best spa vacation with Garima. I would book Garima again.

Thanks Garima for taking care of Spud again! My boy gets very happy whenever he meets you and that makes me feel comfortable because I know he is in the best hands. Looking forward to the next booking!

Safety, trust & environment

My husband and I live in a clean and safe pet-friendly apartment with comfortable areas. The building has safe play area, and access to nearby dog parks, perfect for walks and playtime. While I don’t currently have my own dog, I’m committed to following your dog’s meal and walk schedules, diet, and any special requirements. Your dog will be supervised at all times and any routines and preferences will be well taken care of, ensuring a comfortable and familiar experience.

A typical day

I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality, so whether they’re energetic and love games of fetch or prefer gentle strolls through the park, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. Working from home, I’m always available for extra snuggles, belly rubs, or a calming presence for dogs who just want company. My goal is to keep them happy, comfortable, and feeling like part of the family.

Please let me know if your pet has any food allergies, medical conditions, or special dietary needs, as well as how they interact with other dogs and people—especially kids or strangers. It's also helpful to know if they experience separation anxiety or respond to specific commands. Sharing their favorite toys, games, or routines can make their stay more comfortable. Additionally, any past behaviors, like chewing or escaping tendencies, will help me create a safe and enjoyable environment for them.
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.
