About: Hey there, we are Rod & Ros! We both had pets our whole lives, both of our grandparents are veterinarians, so we grew in a household full of love and knowledge about pets. My girlfriend has been a pet sitter since she was in middle school she took care of senior dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, turtles, fishes and parrots. I myself have also been a doggy sitter several times for friends and family. We both just love petsitting and that is why we decided to join Rover. My girlfriend works part time from home and I work at night so we both have plenty of time during the day to play and enjoy time with your pet. We have two Australian parakeets, when there are no other pets around, we love to free them inside the apartment so that they can stretch their wings. When we have pet guests we keep them in their cage and if the guest is not comfortable with them we keep them in a separate room. We work regular office hours Mon-Fri 9am-5pm, so during weekdays we only offer walk service or drop-inn visits after 5:30pm. On weekends we have full availability for both walks and drop-in visits. We love to make your dog or cat feel special and loved on the short time of our visit or walk, we would try to connect with your pet and give him/her all the love we can, for this reason we only walk one dog at the time and we do only 1 drop in visit during weekdays. Your special furry friend deserves respect and value time, during our walk or visit, we will always pay attention to what they make, making sure they stay hydrated not overexposed to high temperatures , we will be patient and do as many stops as they need to make.
“Alyssa did a fantastic job looking after our two cats! She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. We were especially impressed that she won over our fickle ex-stray, who is usually very aloof and spends her time outdoors. It was clear our cats were comfortable and well cared for, and we’d be happy to have Alyssa watch them again!”

“Cherie was awesome with our cat!! She stopped by everyday (over the holidays!) to feed him, play with him, and clean his litter box. Plus she sent updates, which I really appreciated!! I highly recommend Cherie for cat sitting! She’s great!! Thank you Cherrie!!”

“Vadim is absolutely amazing with our dog! He’s attentive, caring a really makes Perla happy. Every time we go out of town, we feel completely confident leaving our dog in his care. It’s such a relief knowing our furry family member is in such good hands. Highly recommend Vadim to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter”

“Agustina was fantastic with my cat Butter. She administered eyedrops, pills, and an oral syringe full of liquid supplements that Butter needs to take. She was communicative, responsive, and very eager to learn about the needs of my cat and myself!”
