Pet care experience

We prefer dogs more than humans

We’re Maitri and Karan, and we’re excited to meet you and your pet. We both work from home full time so your dog always has company. We also never care for more than one dog at a time so your dog will get all our attention and cuddles :) We live in Wicker Park in a calm, pet-friendly home surrounded by lots of parks. We also have two huge fenced and guarded patios with turf attached to our condo so lots of space for dogs to run around. We have an 18-month-old who is gentle, curious, and always supervised around pets. He loves having pets around and we honestly do this more for him than us.

Maitri and her family were perfect sitters for my dog - I had some nerves with it being my first time using Rover but she sent lots of pictures and kept me updated on how he was doing. Super easy to coordinate and communicate with and she treated Zuko like he was part of the family. I appreciated the updates and know that he was well cared for during his time with Maitri!

Maitri was fantastic with dory - very responsive, sent great photos, and was overall a top tier sitter. We already reached out to try and schedule our next visit!

Maitri and her family took such great care of Hurley! I received updates during his stay that made me feel at ease. Hurley also had an ear infection flare up which they administered medicine for without any complaints or issues, so they really went above and beyond. He was very happy when I picked him up and I really appreciated all the love and care I know he received! I would not hesitate to have him stay with Maitri in the future! :)

5 stars no notes! Maitri was super communicative throughout pickup and drop off, and sent several cute photos :). Their space is lovely and bright including a terrific rooftop patio. Marlow was clearly well loved by the whole family - highly recommend!!!

Maitri generously accepted a last minute request for Meatball and was great! We received frequent updates and pictures and picked Meatball up looking happy and healthy.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pets’ comfort and safety are my priority. I keep a calm, clean space, free of hazards and overstimulation. I follow feeding, medication, and walk routines exactly as instructed and send regular updates so you always know your pet is in good hands.

A typical day

We have a toddler so our routines are pretty high energy. Going for a walk and to the park is our everyday schedule, no matter the weather. Our kid loves playing fetch with all the neighborhood dogs.

To make sure your dog is comfortable in our home, it helps to know a few things ahead of time: • Temperament around kids. We have an 18-month-old who is always supervised, so we only host dogs who are kid-friendly or kid-neutral. • Any reactivity or triggers. Doorbells, other dogs on walks, loud noises, certain handling, guarding tendencies, or anything that helps us set them up for success. • Feeding routine. Meal times, portions, special diets, sensitivities, or anything that could upset their stomach. • Medical needs. Medications, allergies, physical limitations, past injuries, or anything we should watch for. • House preferences. Crate use, furniture rules, sleeping setup, or if they need a quiet space to decompress. • Social style. Whether they’re outgoing, shy, high-energy, or independent helps us match the pace of their day. • Separation comfort. How they handle alone time and how long they can comfortably be solo, even with someone at home. • Any quirks we should know. Weird habits, favorite toys, things they avoid, or routines that help them feel secure. The more we know, the more your pup feels at home. Happy to chat through it together before your stay.
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.
