Does your dog need a Gay Bestie?

I’ve dog sat for the majority of my friends for years now. I watched one for 3 months. Typically average 3 nights-1 week. I treat all of them like they’re my own. Nothin but love and affection!

Steve is amazing—our dogs loved him, he’s so communicative, respectful of our home, always sent photos and check-ins—and we couldn’t have asked for more. We absolutely recommend him and will work with him again!

Thomas was such a wonderful dog sitter! I was quite nervous beforehand since it’s been 5+ years since I’ve used Rover, however, Thomas had excellent communication and provided so many photos/videos of my Benji. I was so relieved seeing how much fun Benji was having with Thomas and how comfortable he looked in Thomas’ home. Benji seems to have made new friends during his stay with Thomas! I’ll definitely be booking again!😊

Steven is the best! I have a 2yo Pitbull that stayed with him for a whole week and he came back a happy fella! We had daily updates with photos the whole week which was truly sweet. Our boy Romeo even got a bath along the way. I will book again, this is a great sitter who knows how to handle dogs and is 100% trust worthy!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment with a dog run and live on the first floor. I always walk dogs on leash and am always aware of our surroundings when we go out for potty breaks or walks. I have a sound machine and have “dog spa” as a favorite on YouTube. Several of my friends’ dogs are super anxious and it is always a huge win for both of us when I can see them wag their tail and feel comfortable in 10 mins or less after being dropped off.

A typical day

Just like people, every dog is different. I will always ask you what a typical day for your fur baby looks like and do my best to mirror that, or make it even better! My main goal is to make them feggin PUMPED to hang out with me, and forget that you’re not around for a few hours, days, etc.

I strive to make both you and your baby as comfortable as possible from the pre-planning, drop off, time of hangout, to pickup. I like to know all of their quirks AND YOURS beforehand. Communication is key and I rely on you to let me know what is required. I’m here to relieve you of any worries/stress so you can do YOU, and also make your behb feel just as comfortable at my house as if it was any other day at yours.
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.
