Jon was the best sitter I ever had through Rover. I was very pleased when I met with him ahead of time, during the time he was sitting my dogs and when I came home everything looked as it should - He even brought in my packages for me and set them aside. Great person and a great sitter. Hope to use again -

We had the pleasure of having Sergio drop in to play with our dog, Xena, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the moment he arrived, it was clear that he has a genuine love for animals. Xena absolutely adored him and had a fantastic time playing and exploring!

My cat Stevie was very happy to be looked after by Jennie. I received regular updates, photos and videos. Coming home to a happy cat is massively reassuring and will definitely ask Jennie to look after her again 😸

Bailee is incredible with dogs and falls in love with every dog she sees at first sight. I’ve experienced her taking care of her own golden retriever “Demi” and Bailee is definitely someone who I would trust with my own dog because of how responsible and caring she is!

Anya was punctual and very kind and caring with our dogs. Ruby is a nervous dog, and Anya adjusted to her needs. Anya was able to safely walk both dogs together. It was the puppy’s longest walk so far! Both dogs liked Anya a lot. I would recommend Anya for your pet care needs.

Ifeoma is my younger sister and has taken care of my dogs on multiple occasions. I travel a lot for work and rely on her whenever I need a sitter. She often sends photos and keeps my pets engaged while maintaining the house clean.

Shirley was careful, diligent and kind she took this care taking responsibility seriously and was very good with our cat. She gave us good status updates on how her behavior and mood was her poo status and how much or how little she was eating. Thanks Shirley.

Eric and Kathleen were exactly what we needed. From the very beginning when Eric came out to visit before we left to meet our cats and understand their needs to his daily communication about how our cats were doing and the love and attention that the two of them were providing. I have no hesitation and giving the two of them are highest possible recommendation.

Julien walked our medium sized, high-energy dog, Bean, three times last week. He was reliable, communicative, and flexible, and Bean liked him immediately. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and look forward to hiring him again.

I am delighted to recommend Kendra as a pet sitter for your dog. Kendra and her sons love dogs and are eager to welcome furry friends to stay with them! Working from home allows Kendra to provide all-day companionship and attention, ensuring that pets feel safe and loved. Her fenced-in backyard is a fantastic space for dogs to play and explore, giving them the freedom to enjoy the outdoors in a secure environment. She will be thrilled to have a dog to accompany her on her walks in her neighborhood. I have complete confidence in her ability to provide a nurturing and joyful experience for any pet in her care. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and caring, Kendra is the perfect choice!

Mia's care for Coco has been outstanding. Her meticulous attention to my cat's well-being truly sets her apart. Mia goes beyond the basics, crafting a comfortable and engaging environment for Coco. It's clear that her passion for pets is genuine, and Coco's deep affection for her speaks volumes. I wholeheartedly recommend Mia – she's not just a caregiver but a cherished companion for our furry friends.

About: I grew up in the Philippines, and since I was 3, I grew up with stray dogs that my family took in and I took care of them, fed them, played with them, but most importantly, I understood them. Since they were strays, they did get aggressive occasionally, but I knew it wasn’t out of malice; rather, they were just scared. So, from a young age, I was able to understand dogs and be patient with them in a way where they felt the most comfortable, and still show them the care they needed. To this day, I haven’t changed, and I never will. Regardless of whether I’m staying and watching your dog or if I’m walking them, my main priority will always be to ensure that your dog is as safe and comfortable as possible. I am so excited to be able to work with you and meet your dogs and ensure they get everything they need from me, including administering medication. I’ll always make sure to communicate with you before and after the walk, and if I notice that something’s up, you’re the first to know. I’m very attentive, and if your dog is uncomfortable with something, I’ll know. But at the end of the day, just remember that dogs have nothing but love to give. All I want to do is give back the love I receive from them. It fits into my daily routine as I actually already have a job as a dog walker for Lando’s Pet Care. Dog walking is something I regularly do. Aside from that, I’m a student at Seton Hall University majoring in biology/pre-med. My schedule will change in early January due to the spring semester, and I am not available from December 21 to January 12 since I go back home for Christmas Break. As of right now, my schedule is: Monday - Thursday: N/A Friday - Sunday: 2:30 P.M. - 7:00 P.M. I currently in an apartment and I have no pets here, nor am I allowed to have any pets here, so I unfortunately cannot take in any pets to my apartment. However, I can stay at your house and take care of them. Wherever they go, I go; I’ll ensure the dog doesn’t go out of my sight and I’ll monitor them to ensure they don’t do anything they shouldn’t be doing. But I also don’t want them to just be bored! I’ll interact with them and engage, play with them, give them a little bit of fun every now and then to keep your dog happy! But no matter what I’m doing, my full attention is towards your dog, always.
