“If you’re looking for an understanding and patient caretaker for your dog, look no further than Britt! She kindly took on the job of watching my newly adopted dog, Pepper, at the very last minute. Throughout the day, she sent thoughtful updates and even shared Amazon links for helpful dog products and treats. Britt was incredibly attentive to Pepper’s adjustment to a new environment and showed so much patience. Bonus points for her sweet dog, Furby, who became Pepper’s new friend during her stay. Rest assured, Britt is more than capable of taking great care of your fur baby!”

“This was Colby’s first day care with Jodie, and she was absolutely wonderful! From the start, she was very communicative and kind, making sure we felt comfortable and informed throughout the day. Colby seemed happy and relaxed when we picked him up, which says it all. We really appreciated how attentive and caring she was. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Gabrielle had been taking care of Bronte on the regular the past couple months. She is great! Her dog Doug is so friendly and good to Bronte. She is consistent and has a backup for days she cannot be there through her SO. Bronte loves her. I love her. I highly recommend her.”

“Xiao was communicative and professional! It seems like our dog had a great time and was well taken care of. We would ask her to watch Dove again.”

“Alan, Rosa and Kopi are wonderful hosts. They took care of our two-year old doodle for a half day and it was so easy. Communicative, friendly, gentle, and trustworthy. Highly recommended.”

About: Hi, I’m Charito! I’m a study-from-home/online student and lifelong pet lover who grew up on a farm with cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, geese, ponies, and cows. I have a passionate background in dog training, rescue, and dog behavior. In my community and rescue circles, I’m often called the “dog whisperer” — because I truly enjoy understanding dogs through calm leadership, structure, and psychology. I work closely with rescue dogs and have extensive experience with puppies, small to large breeds, and dogs with different personalities and energy levels. My passion is helping dogs feel safe, balanced, and understood — and helping their humans feel confident and supported while they’re away. When dogs or cats stay with me, my goal is simple: for them to feel at home. Because I study from home, your pet will never be left alone for long periods. I’m around throughout the day and can easily adapt to your pets routine when planned in advance. I live in an apartment close to dog parks and Prospect Park, so dogs in my care get plenty of fresh air, walks, mental stimulation, and structured downtime. I balance activity with calm rest, depending on each dog’s individual needs. I’m reliable and very attentive. If I’m caring for a dog for a longer stay, I’m always happy to help reinforce basic training, manners, and confidence. Reactive dogs can be discussed on a case-by-case basis. Because there are multiple dogs in my apartment building, safety is extremely important to me, and I want to make sure it’s a good fit for everyone. What You Can Expect: – A calm, caring, and experienced sitter – Daycare and overnight boarding in a home-like environment – Experience with puppies, rescues, and small to large breeds dogs, cats – Thoughtful handling based on dog psychology – Regular updates, photos, and clear communication – A sitter who treats your pet as if they were her own 🐶 🐱 I’m a study-from-home / online student with availability on both weekdays and weekends. I have a flexible schedule, aside from occasional online classes or exam days. Because I study from home, I’m around throughout the day and can closely supervise, engage, and respond to each dog’s needs. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest.

“Sara came highly recommended to me by a friend and did not disappoint! In fact, she exceeded my expectations. She was very communicative, friendly and sent tons of updates which I appreciated. It was comforting knowing Peach — who can be a handful! — was in such good hands. Peach had such a blast with Sara and will be thrilled to hang out with her again. Would highly recommend Sara to anyone in need of someone to look after their pup.”

“Maria is wonderful. Our dog did daycare and she was tired and happy at pick up. Maria's dog, Missi, is a great companion as well. They live close to a park for easy walks and have all beds and toys needed.”

“Debra and her husband were so patient and caring with Tinley, and their valuable experience is amazing! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! We have other visits already scheduled this month. We know Tinley is in the best of hands! Thanks Debra!”

“Megan took care of Poppy for the first time and I really appreciated the communication, punctuality, and care. My dog is really shy, and Megan gave Poppy tome to get accustomed to her. When I picked Poppy up, I could tell she was calm and had a great day.”

“Candace took great care of our terrier for the day. We dropped her off around noon and picked her up at 7. Along the way we received pictures of her enjoying herself in Candace’s house. She was fed, walked and taken potty. When we came to pick her up Candace had her all set to go. Everything about the communication and care was excellent. Your furry friend is in good hands with Candace.”

“Sophie and Lewis were great sitter for our Gus. They were easy to communicate with and made Gus feel right as ease. We appreciated the updates with pictures and videos of their adventures with Gus to his favorite dog park. Couldn’t recommend them enough.”

“Cannot recommend Alex (and her sweet perfect lil dog Bruce) enough. She was so easy with pickup/drop off, so knowledgeable about dogs, so responsible and generous, and sent so many pics. I am always super nervous to leave my dog with anyone new, but Alex put my mind at ease immediately. I want to use her every time!! (My dog definitely feels the same way; he misses Bruce already, I can tell.) Thank you so so much Alex - and thank you for the collar advice as well.”

“Danny was my 3rd sitter on Rover after the first two people that I found left me feeling incredibly nervous and uneasy about my puppy’s safety. With Danny, so many of my old concerns melted away in our very first meeting. He was so patient with me as a new pet owner and was so loving to my very high energy puppy. Every day that Danny has sat my dog, I have gotten texts, picture, and video updates. Danny even went out of his way on multiple occasions to walk Miso back to my place without charge. And he has helped orient my puppy to other dogs and given me every reassurance that, no matter what, my dog would be safe with him. There is no one else on Rover that I trust more than Danny and I feel so grateful that I found him!”

“Tino had a great time with Kecia. She is attentive and caring and did a great job communicating. The fenced in yard was great for Tino. He really enjoyed himself with Kecia! We would def have her watch Tino again!”
