Safety, trust & environment

Understanding your pet's normal routine and behaviors is the first step in ensuring a safe and nurturing environment, so this will be one of the conversations we have before I work with your pet. I will minimize stress for your pet by adhering to their normal routine as closely as possible, while also providing play and enrichment activities according to your pet's needs.

Karl is amazing! He did a great job taking care of Nala. We loved the pictures he sent and she seemed really happy and well taken care of when we got home.

20/10 experience with Karl again! Very happy I rebooked with him for my weekend trip - he took great care of my baby and my apartment while I was gone. Really appreciate having the peace of mind to enjoy my trip and relax, knowing I have someone responsible & kind taking care of my baby!

Karl was an absolute dream. He took on my emergency sitting the day of with no complaints. He followed all instructions and was sincerely such a stress relief for me. I am in his debt eternally! Thank you Karl 🥲😁😁

Karl stayed in my apartment to take care of my beagle puppy for a long weekend. He did an amazing job following the puppy routine I created. Karl even asked about my training goals and kept up with them. My doorman also raved about how good of a job Karl did taking care of my puppy. (taking Saint out frequently for potty and walks)

Please let me know about your pet's personality and any behavioral concerns so I can work with your pet in the most effective way possible. If I will be feeding your pet, I will need to know any specific dietary needs as well as the details of their regular feeding routine. Additional information that would be helpful includes your training style and commands used, as well as what skills/behaviors you are currently working on with your pet so that I can support that progress as well.
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.
