Information Ryana & Safiyyah J. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or preferences. Please pack snacks and food even for short stays. Other helpful information: Favorite activities? Does your dog enjoy car rides? Are they good with other dogs? Children? On walks are they allowed to meet other dogs or people on the street? For house sitting, please note if stable WiFi is not available in advance.

A typical day

We’ll play a bunch of games, visit the dog park, explore my neighborhood, and end the day with your pets favorite snack! I typically begin work around 9am and finish up around 4pm, but have flexibility to stop and go for walks through the day. Your pet will have company the entire time.

Pet care experience

Looking for a reliable consistent pet sitter who makes your pet feel at home? Look no further. I have been caring for dogs and cats for over five years. Still not convinced? Check out my reviews. Missing spending time with my 45 pound family dog and would love to spoil your dogs with several walks, cuddles, and pup cups (with your permission, of course). I usually walk 10,000 steps per day which is super helpful for dogs who have a ton of energy. My completely remote work schedule provides plenty of flexibility to care for your pet both short and long term. My partner also helps me pet sit , so you’ll enjoy two sitters for the price of one. On average, my schedule allows for an average of 4-5 walks per day. I also love taking photos of pets, so expect the most adorable photos. If your pet is unable to be left alone for any extended period of time, please let us know and we can discuss our availability for constant care.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass an identity verification. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
