Safety, trust & environment

I love to walk and lead a very active lifestyle. I can walk anywhere you’d like with your pet, for as long as you’d like 😊. I can pet sit and house sit most of the year, and will have my calendar updated for when I am unavailable.

Information Vlad G. would like to know about your pet

If you could let me know any special activities your pup likes, or anything that may upset your dog. I can care for dogs young and old, so having a meet and greet would be preferred.

A typical day

I love to explore hiking trails, parks, and beaches. Even if it is just a walk around the neighborhood, I’m sure to be up to the challenge no matter the terrain your pup might enjoy.

Vlad G.'s Neighborhood

Hi! I’m Vlad, your pets new pal!

Pet care experience

Howdy! My name is Vlad, I am glad to meet you! In my animal caring experience, I have worked with creatures as big as cattle and wild mustangs to as small as a hamster. I have owned dogs and birds most of my life, and can accommodate to a wide variety of abilities and dietary restrictions. I have also had the chance to care for cattle, wild mustangs, pigs, goats, peacocks, donkeys, chickens, dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, and fish over the past 15 years or so. My wife and I currently own 3 rabbits and a cat, so we are no stranger to exotic animals and their needs. I would love to see how I can help you and your pet! I appreciate your time and consideration, and hope to hear from you soon!

So grateful to have found Vlad! He was punctual, thorough in following instructions and best of all, my dog really liked him :) He went above and beyond to make sure my dog was well-cared for and we would 100% recommend him!

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.
