Pet care experience

Hey there, I recently lost my 14 year old Beagle and am hoping on Rover to fill a void. I work from home and can easily care for your pet while you’re away. I’ll take care of them like they’re mine. Due to my building’s management policies, I am unable to watch pit bulls. Apologies in advance.

Jay is the absolute best! He’s watched my pup Rebel several times and responds quickly, sends frequent updates and treats her like she’s his own. Highly recommend!

Jay has been so great with Rebel. He provides daily updates and photos and is always so accommodating. I feel extremely comfortable leaving my pup with him. 100% recommend Jay!

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.
