Love my whiskered buddies

Availability till 10/13: free all day every day :) afterwards, back to my reg schedule Rover doesn’t allow me to select the schedule this way I’ve always loved cats & dogs. I’ve cat-sat (ha ha) & dog sat (was also a groomer) so many times! I’d love to get to know your friend, and make sure they’re super comfortable and cared for!

Janiyah was great with my large pup! My dog had a wonderful time with her! She was on time, communicative and took a bunch of pictures! She updated me how he did on his walk and how he was when they got back. Will definitely have her come back to care for my pup!

Janiyah is by far the best cat sitter I’ve ever booked on Rover, so let me start there. I was so nervous to let someone watch my babies because it was my first time visiting home after moving to Chicago and I didn’t want to leave Chef & Roux behind. Janiyah was super reassuring and wrote detailed rover cards that helped keep me in the loop throughout my trip. At one point my food started to run out for the girls and I had to deliver more to the apartment. She offered to come back to the apartment early so my girls didn’t get too hungry waiting until her next visit. Her compassion and communication skills really stood out to me and I will be rebooking her. Oh wait, I already did! 😆

Great dog walker. I hired Janiyah to assist with dog walking while I am working long hours and she has been so so helpful! She has been trustworthy entering my home, following my directions with my pup, & making sure that she gets in great walks while learning new things. Would definitely recommend.

Janiyah is amazing and thorough! She provides care and details that help assure that your dog is in good hands! My dog loves her and looks forward to his walks! 10/10!

I would like to know if they take any meds, or have a history of anything. I would also like to know if they are allowed treats in the home, or brought in (if there is an approved list). I want to make sure my visit goes smoothly, so I need all of the info you think could help them be comfortable with a new person around.
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.
