Safety, trust & environment

I live in a 1 bedroom apartment in a lakefront pet friendly community with a fenced dog park. I live right by the trail and is a really nice enjoyable walk especially for dogs. My apartment faces the gate on the 2nd floor. I work from home, I am with them all the time, I prefer to take them with me wherever I go. I have a automatic dog feeder for both dry food and water. There is a fenced dog park in the community where we enjoy regular breaks, 1 minute from my door.

Information Navya Mekera H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any behavioral quirks I need to be aware of. I live in a pet loving community. The trail and lakefront is busy with people and dogs. I can watch pets in their own environment. I also welcome pets in my home. I

A typical day

We can play, train, enjoy social time with other friendly pets i the community. At home while I work they enjoy outdoor view, fresh air, intermittent (frequent) play time and attention. Some dogs enjoy sunbathing on my balcony and saying hi to dogs that pass by our yard downstairs! There will be at least 1 long walk on the trail and frequent dog park breaks. They are rarely ever bored. I often more from them attention than they do!

Experienced, home-based dog sitter

Pet care experience

Experienced, home-based dog sitter — your pup gets a second home, not just a sitter. Hi, I’m Navya! I work from home full-time, which means your dog gets constant company, frequent potty breaks, and lots of real attention — not just a rushed visit. I’ve cared for dogs across all ages, sizes, and temperaments — from puppies to seniors, shy rescues to high-energy breeds. I’ve fostered dogs with behavioral challenges and have hands-on experience applying positive reinforcement and calm-energy techniques to help anxious or reactive dogs feel safe. I live in a pet-friendly community with a private fenced dog park two minutes from my door and a built-in neighborhood of doggie friends for socialization. What I offer: • Full-time, work-from-home supervision • Frequent walks and potty breaks throughout the day • Access to a fenced dog park steps from my door • Regular photo and video updates so you never wonder how they’re doing A note on fit — please read before booking: I take a limited number of dogs at a time so every pet gets genuine care. I require a meet & greet before confirming any booking — no exceptions. This protects your dog and my environment for other dogs in my care. My base rates apply to dogs that: • Walk calmly on leash • Are friendly or neutral with other dogs • Have no history of lunging, biting, or aggressive behavior Additional fees apply for: • Large or strong dogs (50 lbs+) • Reactive or leash-aggressive dogs • Dogs requiring medication or special handling These aren’t penalties — they reflect the extra skill, time, and physical effort involved in caring for dogs with more complex needs, that most sitters would shy away from. I’m happy to discuss what’s right for your dog during our meet & greet. A few things I ask owners to share upfront: • Has your dog shown aggression toward other dogs or people? • How does your dog walk on leash? • Any history of lunging, pulling, or reactivity? Honest answers help me give your dog the best care possible. I won’t judge — In fact, I have a special place in my heart for dogs with behavioral issues, especially when the owner has adopted from a shelter / unknown / difficult backgrounds. I want to be prepared, and compensated for my skill and time.

Navya was amazing and so communicative. Winnie loved her! Definitely would have her watch my dog again!

Navya was so wonderful to work with! She took such good care of my puppy Devi, going above just watching her, but also socializing her, playing with her, and going on little adventures and playdates. Couldn't have asked for a better Rover experience. Navya messaged and sent me videos all day long while Devi was with her which was so lovely!

Navya was amazing and a true gem when it comes to dog sitting! I won a German Sheperd and a Husky and I felt completely at ease leaving them in her care—and that peace of mind is priceless. Throughout their stay, I received regular updates, photos, and little notes about how things were going, which made being away so much easier. It was obvious my dogs were not only well cared for, but genuinely happy and comfortable, which Navya gets full credit for. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and professional to board your dogs, look no further. I will absolutely be booking with Navya again!

Navya was hands down the best Rover sitter we’ve ever had. She was incredibly sweet, super communicative, and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our dog absolutely loved her, which says everything. You can tell she genuinely cares, and it shows in how she treats both pets and owners. We’d book her again in a heartbeat.
