A typical day

I love to take long walks, but I can adapt to the length or speed that your pet prefers. I’m getting into running so if your pet needs more exercise, I’m happy to take them on a jog to get more of their energy out. I’m also a huge proponent of letting dogs sniff as long as they want because it’s their way of catching up on the latest news!

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m Masha, a full-time work-from-home tech marketer with a flexible schedule and an active lifestyle. I’ve been offering pet care since high school, starting as a way to spend more time with dogs and earn a little extra. Growing up in a house with four large dogs, I got hands-on experience caring for puppies when our dog had two litters. I monitored and cared for 8-10 puppies until they were ready for adoption. Though I travel too often to have my own pet, I've been caring for friends’ dogs and cats for over five years. While most of my experience is with dogs, I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Even though I don’t have a pet of my own, I love having the opportunity to care for and connect with other people’s pets through Rover. Your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priorities. I aim to provide an stress-free, fun environment, ensuring you feel confident and worry-free when you’re away. I’m here to help whether you need a sitter while traveling, working, or running errands.

Masha was incredible taking care of our little reactive dog while we were on vacation. She is the only person I trust caring for our dog and is incredibly responsive and responsible. We are grateful for you Masha!

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.
