Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard but can walk pet up to three times a day on pet's energy levels. House is three floors with two 25-35lbs senior dogs and a guinea pig occupying the first and second floors. Sitted pet will stay on the renovated and carpeted basement floor with me. Pet will be crated whenever I leave the house but will never be crated for longer than 4 hours at the maximum (shorter maximum duration if pet is incontinent or has other chronic issues). Pets are allowed on furniture however if this goes against your training I am willing to enforce furniture off limits. Pet will also have access to at least one dog bed and moistureproof dog blanket.

Big thanks to Paola for taking care of our furbaby while we were traveling! She stayed at our home and was the perfect houseguest. Even though it was extremely hot while we were traveling, Paola made sure our pup got his daily walks. We look forward to working with Paola again.

Paula was very professional and communicative. She has a lot of experience and asked good questions about my pets. She was also really flexible during the visit with some hiccups that were not her fault. Thank you Paola

Paola did an excellent job looking after our girl Gemini. She provided frequent photo updates and left our home in perfect condition after her house sitting booking. We highly recommend and would certainly book with her again!

Paola did a great job caring for our energetic pup, Loki, for 4 days. Her daily updates and photos helped assure us that Loki was safe and comfortable.

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.
