We fill out each drop-in/walk report card with a personalized update and lots of pictures so you can see how your pet is doing! For house sits, we automatically send two updates a day. However, feel free to to let us know if you want additional updates!

Pet care experience

We are a married couple, Stella and Rachel, and we absolutely love caring for animals! Together, we share many years of experience caring for dogs and cats and are passionate about making pet care a trusted service within our community. We are proud pet moms to two beautiful Shih Tzus who are truly part of our family. We love them as our own children and understand the importance of finding someone trustworthy to care for your pets while you’re away. Rachel has over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for cats, dogs, and giant breed dogs. She also has more than 5 years of professional experience working in various pet care facilities, including with an AKC Champion Show Dog and breeder. She’s a dedicated Rover sitter for the past 3 years. Stella has nearly 20 years of experience caring for her own pets, as well as the pets of friends and family members. Her compassionate nature and love for animals make her a wonderful caregiver. As devoted pet parents, we understand how difficult it can be for both pets and their owners to be separated. We are flexible, attentive, and happy to adapt to your pet’s individual needs to help make their time away from you as comfortable and stress-free as possible. We are both fully vaccinated, and our dogs are current on all vaccinations and monthly preventatives. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always our top priorities. We work together to ensure every pet receives the attention they deserve, including regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, grooming, treats, and plenty of love and affection. We would love to learn about your pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs they may have so we can provide personalized care. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, anxious, or simply enjoys a certain routine, we will do our best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Our goal is to give you peace of mind and ensure your pet enjoys a happy, safe, and caring experience until you’re reunited.

Rachel and Stela are fantastic. Very organized and professional. Were very comfortable with our complicated 4 legged family of 5 including 2 senior dogs with special needs, special diets and lots of medications. We can highly recommend them.

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.
