A typical day

I love keeping pets active and happy with plenty of playtime, whether it’s fetch, tug-of-war, or just exploring the neighborhood on long walks. For pups that enjoy socializing, we can visit the dog run in my building, and for those who prefer quiet time, I offer lots of cuddles, enrichment toys, and a calm, cozy space to relax. I always tailor activities to each pet’s personality and energy level to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for.

Vera took amazing care of my dog. He had the best time and came home so happy. It was like his own vacation!

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our pup Gomi this week! Vera was very caring and attentive to Gomi’s needs. Communication was fantastic — frequent photos and videos gave us comfort knowing he was in great hands, and she kept us updated on everything from his eating to his bathroom habits. Gomi came home happy and relaxed, and we’d happily consider booking with her again. Highly recommend!

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.
