“I highly recommend Lily to anyone looking for a sitter. She is very kind and friendly with dogs. Our dog is anxious in new places. Lily clearly understood her nature and took excellent care of her. This is the second time leaving our dog with her and our dog loves Lily. She sends daily updates with pictures which helped us be at ease and enjoy our vacation. Lily is the best and is one of my go to dog sitters.”
“Nina and Tony took excellent care of our 5 year old golden doodle, Yogi. They are so communicative, sent frequent updates. Yogi looked very well cared for and happy when we picked him up. Would highly recommend Nina and Tony!!”
“Nancy was a great host for my dog. She was very responsive and provided me frequent pictures. She and Toucalit are really nice and my dog looks like he had a great time. Thank you both so much!”
“Marsha is always so amazing with my dog Mocha. Mocha loves seeing her and spending time with her :) Thank you so much for always taking great care of her and sending me photos and videos!!”
“SO GREAT! This was POLAR opposite of our very first experience using Rover. SO GLAD WE TRIED ROVER AGAIN! Jie and her family took such good care of our dog. She gave us piece of mind with her responses to our text and photos sent while we were away. A five day stay and what a relief to know our pup was SAFE, loved, being well cared for and looked after. All of the things she says will happen do! When we picked our fur-ball up she was happy and healthy! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!”
“Diana took care of my 5mo for five days on his first time away from home. She was responsive and communicative throughout the week, sending daily photos and videos of their walks. Raphael was well cared for: fed on schedule, walked regularly, and returned home healthy. He’s going through a fear period and Diana was patient and adapted well to his needs, which I really appreciated. She was warm and caring with him. For future bookings I’d suggest more indoor photos so owners can see how their dog is settling at home, not just during walks. Overall I felt at peace leaving Raphael with her, she’s a reliable sitter who kept my puppy safe and I would recommend her professional expertise to other dog parents! Gracias Diana!”
“Ken was great! Ken asked great questions to understand Twiggles’ needs during the meet and greet. Getting back an exhausted dog was a great sign of a good stay with Ken and Neo.”
“Jay is a kind and wonderful dog boarder. Our cattledog, Arrow, was so well taken care of and was so relaxed during his stay with Jay. We got several timely updates with pictures and Arrow looked perfectly content in the new environment. I would highly recommend Jay and will be using his service again.”
“Dana was a great sitter and gave me peace of mind during the doggy day care visit! She sent over photo updates regularly. Additionally, she listened intently to my instructions for my two dogs and took great care of them. They came home happy, and tired from a great day at Dana’s. Also a bonus she has a nice grassy yard for my dogs to freely roam in!”
“Thanks for taking excellent care of my dog, Friday while he was recovering from a leg injury. I loved all the pictures and updates. You were great at communicating and following all my extensive instructions 😅 and also were super flexible and helpful during a stressful period. You also really cared about my dog's well being, taking him on sniffing walks and car rides and playing games with him to keep him entertained. I would 100% recommend you both to other dog parents! Thank you!”
“Janine and her family are amazing people and really develop a great connection to your dog. They are by far the best sitter we have found on Rover and we hope to have our Putter with them any time we need to be out of town. Very nice yard for dogs, very attentive to their individual needs, and they love interacting with them. So happy we found them!”
“We had the most wonderful experience with Siqin dog sitting for us for a week! They took such good care of our dog and sent multiple pictures and videos throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. They also made sure all his medications were given on time. We could tell he was happy and well looked after. We would absolutely book them again!”
“Stephen watched my dog Zuko for the second time and my other dog nori for the first! He updated me with photos and we had a great meet and greet. He’s definitely my go to dog sitter when I know I’m going to be out of town.”
“Judi has been fantastic with our two boxer girls! We’ve used her services multiple times and always feel confident that they’re in great hands. She provides frequent updates, is highly responsive, and takes wonderful care of them. We truly appreciate her and highly recommend her services. Thank you, Judi!.”
“Shaira took wonderful care of my dog Chubby. She took her out on walks and played with her. I am glad that my dog got to have her own vacation too when we were out of town. Shaira also sent us multiple updates with pictures and videos every day 💓!”
About: I absolutely LOVE dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes, and I just want to be their best friend! I currently have a cat and have previously fostered a large dog and hosted dogs in my home for up to one week while their owners were out of town. I'd love to do drop-in visits to make sure your pet is well taken care of while you're away. I also offer doggie daycare if your dog has separation anxiety and just needs someone to cuddle and play with them while you're at work! I have lots of experience caring for cats as well as experience with dog sitting for extended periods of time. I’m very patient with getting to know new animals and earn their trust. I have experience caring for puppies to senior dogs of all sizes and will cater to your dog's individual energy level and personality. I have also taken care of many different cats of all ages and personalities. I'm very willing to work with you and your fur baby to make sure that that all of his/her needs are met, and most importantly that you feel comfortable knowing that your pet is happy well taken care of. I have experience administering medication to cats (i.e. pills and other oral medication). For drop-in visits, I’m also more than happy to help with any chores around the house if needed, such as watering plants and bringing in the mail. I'm fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and have also gotten three booster shots, including the bivalent booster I’m currently working on a hybrid schedule, so I’ll be home during the weekdays on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Since my job is mostly sitting at a desk all day, I’d love any excuse to get outdoors to get some exercise and take your dogs on long walks! If your dog likes to play fetch, I keep a whole bag of tennis balls on hand just for the dogs I take care of. Your pet will be treated as if he/she were my own and will receive all the love and belly scratches while they're in my care. I'll make sure that they have enough food and water and spend time playing and/or cuddling with them. I'll also send lots of photos after each visit.

“Jessica is a fantastic sitter! She took great care of our cat during the holiday break, even on bad weather days. I loved the photo updates and felt completely at ease knowing our cat was in such capable hands. Our cat clearly bonded with her and will miss her. She also took care of the mails, moved the trash bins and made sure that the doors were locked. Thanks Jessica!”
“Tianying is easy to communicate with, and went above and beyond. Our cat needs medicine daily for diabetes, and we came home to a happy cat with good blood sugar level”
About: I’ve cared for cats through every stage of life, from playful kittens to sweet senior cats who need a little extra patience, comfort, and attention. I understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and boundaries, so I take the time to let them warm up at their own pace and feel safe in their own space. What sets me apart is my calm, gentle, and patient approach. Whether your cat is social and affectionate, shy and independent, playful, or cautious with new people, I’ll meet them where they are. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, brushing if needed, medication, and giving regular updates so you feel connected while you’re away. I know cats are happiest when their routines are respected, so I’ll follow your instructions closely and care for your cat with the same love, attention, and respect I would give my own.
“Jill was very helpful taking my request with short notice. She took care of my cat Millie and gave her medication excellently. I will definitely like to rebook again in the future and I do recommend Jill.”
“Paige was extremely communicative, reliable and amazing! She sent update pictures for every visit and assured me that my pet bunny Luna was happy, healthy and well cared for. I was worried since most people don't have much experience with bunnies, but Paige asked thorough questions to make sure she cared for Luna in the best way possible. Would extremely recommend her!”
“I only have wonderful things to say about Kathleen, she is so sweet and kind with my babies that I really think they didn’t miss us at all. I was out for over 20 days and her interaction, updates and photos made me feel very relax that everything went well. Thank you very much for everything, I would highly recommend her!”
“Alex was excellent with our boy (cat). Alex is very patient, calm and caring pet sitter i can see he is true animal lover. He followed all the instructions during the visit. He even made sure to take the package from door step and put it inside in our absence. I strongly recommend him and will be booking him again for future visits”
“We recently used Karem to watch our two cats for a few days. She was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we dropped them off to when we picked them up she kept us updated with messages and videos. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Thomas was an excellent sitter. He followed my cat’s routine very precisely and clearly put a lot of care into every visit. His communication was outstanding, consistent updates, thoughtful notes, and photos that made me feel completely at ease while I was away. He truly went above and beyond, spending extra time to make sure my cat was comfortable and engaged. I felt very safe leaving my pet in his care and would absolutely book him again. Really 10/10 Thaank you❤️❤️❤️🙏”
“Veronica is so wonderful. She took care of our two cats. I was so impressed by her attention to details. After each drop in, she gave detailed notes on what was done (changing water, refilling feeder, cleaning litter boxes, etc.) I was worry-free while away from my house. She very responsive on messages and very kind. Highly recommended.”
“Chloe has done an excellent job taking care of my cats while we were away. She is punctual, communicates well, and consistently provides prompt updates on how my cats are doing. I highly recommend Chloe to anyone in need of care for their fur babies.”
“I highly recommend booking Aurora to look after your pets! She is a great communicator, kept us updated and shared pictures with us of our pets while we were away. Will definitely book with her next time we are away!”
“Kaitlyn was a great cat sitter! She stayed with our two cats for several days without any issues. She kept our cats happy and sent pictures each day. Will definitely book with her again!”
About: Our own furbabies are reactive so I definitely know the struggles of finding someone who understands! I’ve learned a lot of knowledge from our trainer and am very detail oriented/structured when it comes to providing care! I currently work full time but am looking for another source of income when I am free! I am a teacher so I have breaks off when the children do, and have plenty of weekends off as well for date nights, vacations, etc! I only provide pet care in clients home, as boarding in my own home would cause stress to our reactive dogs. Open to learning and sticking to your schedule as much as possible so your furbaby doesn’t experience too much of a drastic change without you there!
“Jingyi was a wonderful cat sitter, and I appreciate her attention to detail and care for my two cats through drop-in visits! She followed my instructions, took awesome pictures/videos, and gave great updates. She even noticed that my litter robot wasn't working as expected and let me know promptly and helped resolve the situation. I'd highly recommend her :)”
“Kruti was fantastic! Very friendly to my two cats, and extremely communicative with daily updates and pictures. This was my first time using Rover, and Kruti made me feel all the more relaxed on my vacation because I knew my pets were in great hands. Thank you Kruti!”
About: I love cats and enjoy spending time caring for them. I am patient, gentle, and attentive to each cat’s personality and needs. I can help with feeding, cleaning litter boxes, playing, and making sure cats feel safe and comfortable.
“We really appreciate the wonderful care you provided for our kitten. You consistently fed her on schedule, were very responsive to messages, and shared timely updates that gave us peace of mind while we were away. We also loved seeing that you spent quality playtime with her and kept her engaged and happy. Thank you for being so attentive, reliable, and caring—we would be happy to have you watch our kitten again in the future!”

“Rose was excellent! Super flexible and took good care of my 7 month old puppy. We did a meet and greet prior to her babysitting and when I brought my puppy back for sitting, he was super excited to see her! It looked like he had a blast from day care & when he came home he was so worn out lol. I’m very happy she was kind to him and kept him stimulated and entertained! Would definitely book again”

About: We’ve had pets all our lives. Currently, we have two cats. For the most part, someone is always WFH. The only day one of us isn’t WFH is Thursday. If we know early enough, we can flex our schedules if any sitting is needed on Thursday. We’ve watched bunnies, cats, and dogs for friends/family including giving medication. We have had no aggression from our pets with the pets we’ve watched. We have a second room(atm being used as an office/guest room), so if you want your pet separate from ours pets, that is something we can accommodate. For dogs during boarding, our household prefers dogs that tend to ignore our cats. Also, we have a preference for senior dogs since they tend to be low energy and do not require long walks to use the restroom. For cats, we have experience with all kinds of energy and ages. If you have a cat with a lot of energy, our Taro girl has shown that she loves playing with all the energetic kitties and helps them come out of their shell. However, both our cats can adapt to senior cats as they both love to lounge. We are willing to negotiate our prices if you believe your pet to be low maintenance or if for example doggy daycare, your pet would be with us for less than 7 hours. Just ask and we can see what we can do during the meet and greet. There is usually always someone at home except Thursday. If you need sitting help on a Thursday, reach out early and we can see about flexing our WFH schedule for that week. One of us is a morning person and the other an evening person in case you have a pet with a weird schedule. We ask for a clear schedule such as when to walk and feed and follow it. This information will always vary depending on the pet or even if they are on medication. For all pets, we’ve given them some space, especially from our pets and seen if they can interact or not depending on what their owners want. We also try to incorporate playtime if they want that.
“I’m so grateful we found Ranjeet and his family to care for our 6-month-old German Shepherd pup. Ranjeet is calm, reassuring, and our pup felt comfortable with him right away. Communication was smooth and prompt, and he was incredibly accommodating. I highly recommend him. Your dog will feel right at home!”
“Nicole is awesome! She sent me updates throughout the day which I really appreciated receiving at work. My dog gets nervous around bigger dogs and avoids them but her husky was well behaved which was evident by how comfortable Zoey seemed around her. Nicole walked Zoey wI highly recommend Nicole if you want to know your dog will be well taken care of.”

About: I worked as a vet tech assistant for two years, and have taken care of a multitude of animals, from turtles, to birds, big dogs to baby cats, and almost everything in between. I have also taken my own dogs to training classes and have one certified as an emotional support animal. I have personally had dogs my whole life (cocker spaniels and a German Shepard), and at one point in my life, I lived with the head of the K-9 unit of the flint police department and got to experience how they teach and train their dogs too. while my current dog is staying at my parents, I am looking forward to welcoming new animals into my home to help fill the void for the time being. I am a very kind, caring, and loving person who sometimes relates more to animals than fellow humans :p Right now, I am a stay at home dad who can take care of any pet almost 24/7, as well as being able to take dogs for walks or to the dog park if wanted. My daughter loves animals as well and will be able to play with your pet too. I follow all rules and guidelines set by the owner, I have gates in my house to keep animals and children out of certain areas, will set up a dedicated food and drink area for the animals. We allow dogs and cats on the furniture and in the bed at my house, and will abide by whatever the owner asks of us if we are staying at their home. I may sure to take them outside once every 1-2 hours, as well as a walk twice a day at minimum, and/or a trip to the park or dog park if allowed. I have a mostly fenced in backyard, but still take dogs out to the bathroom on leash. We can also create a dedicated kitty litter spot as well.
“Pratima is great. She took on my pup for long term daycare while my partner and I work long hours. She is very accommodating and takes the time to learn all of my dog's tendencies to provide the best care for her. She works from home so I'm glad to know that my pup always has someone to be around.”

For shy or selective pets, I can easily separate spaces and adjust introductions at a pace that keeps everyone comfortable.

“I feel very lucky to have found and engaged Ram and Jaya for doggie day care. They are nice people with big hearts for dogs: it was clear throughout our interactions that they understood and focused on my senior dog's needs. They took the time to get to know her, and made sure that they could provide a safe and comfortable place for her to stay while I attended an event. Their home is uncluttered with a lovely backyard; plenty of space for doggie movements. Communication was prompt, clear and helpful. I hope to contact them again for future needs.”

About: I’ve been lucky to care for dogs, cats, and bunnies through every stage of life, from playful puppies and kittens to sweet senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’ve also pet sat for others for extended periods of time, including 4 to 6 weeks at a time, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets and home in someone else’s hands. I care for each pet like they’re part of my own family. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, likes, dislikes, and comfort level so they feel safe, loved, and understood while you’re away. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, all dog sizes, and pets who need medication or a little extra attention. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and cautious, cuddly, independent, or in their senior years, I’ll meet them where they are with patience, kindness, and lots of love. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and never alone. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my day. I’m happy to make time for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting based on your pet’s needs. I understand how important consistency is, so I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and companionship. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable and connected while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I know it can feel stressful to leave your pet in someone else’s care, so I do everything I can to make the experience as smooth and reassuring as possible for both you and your pet. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely and maintain their normal routine as much as possible. Whether that includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, litter box care, cuddle time, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure their needs are met with patience and attention. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, and keeping their routine familiar helps them feel secure while you’re away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality and comfort level. Some pets love lots of interaction and play, while others prefer a calmer approach and need time to build trust. I’m happy to adapt my care to what makes your pet feel most comfortable and relaxed. Safety is extremely important to me. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, harnesses, and home access, and I always double-check that pets are secure before entering or leaving the home. I also pay attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy level, or anything else that may be important, and I’ll communicate with you promptly if I notice any concerns. I’ll treat your home with the same respect and care that I would want someone to show my own. You can also expect regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. My goal is for you to return to a happy, comfortable pet and have complete peace of mind knowing they were cared for with kindness, responsibility, and genuine affection.

About: Hi fur family! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has had the joy of loving dogs from all sizes: from chihuahuas to beagles to labs.

I am also an early bird so I would have no problem taking your pup out for their first walk of the day!

Skye came back happy, calm, and well-exercised, and I could tell she was cared for with patience and attention to detail. I really appreciated the updates and the way her needs were prioritized. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi!! My name is Aurora and I’m so excited to take care of your furr baby or babies! I have years of experience taking care of a wide range of pets from cats to big and small breed doggies. I love animals and believe they are a member of the family and should be treated as such! I have been relied on for walking my friends and neighbors doggies, cat sitting, and routine check ins to ensure that their fur babies are happy, healthy and, most of all, not lonely! As you can see from my pictures, my partner and I have three amazing fur babies, two of which are cats and one big doggy. Our two cats are Hela and Athena and our big goofy fluff ball of a doggie is named Loki. Because I raised my little family members from babies, I am more than comfortable taking care of puppies or kittens also! Pet care fits easily into my schedule — I work Monday-Friday 8-4pm—, leaving early mornings, evenings, and the rest of the weekends open for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s usual routine—feeding, walks, play, and any special instructions—so they feel secure and cared for in their familiar space.
About: I provide more than just dog walking and sitting—I create a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for your pet while you’re away. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to give them personalized attention, whether that means energetic walks, playtime, or calm companionship. I am currently seeking a part-time opportunity, available 2–3 days per week, with availability every other Saturday. Weekends please notify me at least 2 days ahead of time please. Reliability and trust are my top priorities. You can count on me to be punctual, communicative, and fully present with your dog. I treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and happy at all times. I also provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your dog is in great hands.
“Kruti was amazing taking care of our three puppies - she walked them for a long time and they came back exhausted. She was also extremely attentive and caring, I do feel like she took care of them like they would be her own”
“Charlene is absolutely wonderful with our dog! She’s our go-to for walks three days a week and has been incredibly reliable and attentive. She communicates clearly, always gives thoughtful updates, and I can tell she genuinely cares. I always feel confident that our dog is safe and well taken care of when he’s with her. Highly recommend!”

About: I worked as a vet tech assistant for two years, and have taken care of a multitude of animals, from turtles, to birds, big dogs to baby cats, and almost everything in between. I have also taken my own dogs to training classes and have one certified as an emotional support animal. I have personally had dogs my whole life (cocker spaniels and a German Shepard), and at one point in my life, I lived with the head of the K-9 unit of the flint police department and got to experience how they teach and train their dogs too. while my current dog is staying at my parents, I am looking forward to welcoming new animals into my home to help fill the void for the time being. I am a very kind, caring, and loving person who sometimes relates more to animals than fellow humans :p Right now, I am a stay at home dad who can take care of any pet almost 24/7, as well as being able to take dogs for walks or to the dog park if wanted. My daughter loves animals as well and will be able to play with your pet too. I follow all rules and guidelines set by the owner, I have gates in my house to keep animals and children out of certain areas, will set up a dedicated food and drink area for the animals. We allow dogs and cats on the furniture and in the bed at my house, and will abide by whatever the owner asks of us if we are staying at their home. I may sure to take them outside once every 1-2 hours, as well as a walk twice a day at minimum, and/or a trip to the park or dog park if allowed. I have a mostly fenced in backyard, but still take dogs out to the bathroom on leash. We can also create a dedicated kitty litter spot as well.
“Andrew was available to walk our dog at a last minute notice and was punctual and took Loumi out for a long walk. We’ll definitely be contacting Andrew again when we need dog walking services.”

“I highly recommend Lily to anyone looking for a sitter. She is very kind and friendly with dogs. Our dog is anxious in new places. Lily clearly understood her nature and took excellent care of her. This is the second time leaving our dog with her and our dog loves Lily. She sends daily updates with pictures which helped us be at ease and enjoy our vacation. Lily is the best and is one of my go to dog sitters.”
“Nina and Tony took excellent care of our 5 year old golden doodle, Yogi. They are so communicative, sent frequent updates. Yogi looked very well cared for and happy when we picked him up. Would highly recommend Nina and Tony!!”
“Ken was great! Ken asked great questions to understand Twiggles’ needs during the meet and greet. Getting back an exhausted dog was a great sign of a good stay with Ken and Neo.”
“Dana was a great sitter and gave me peace of mind during the doggy day care visit! She sent over photo updates regularly. Additionally, she listened intently to my instructions for my two dogs and took great care of them. They came home happy, and tired from a great day at Dana’s. Also a bonus she has a nice grassy yard for my dogs to freely roam in!”
“Thanks for taking excellent care of my dog, Friday while he was recovering from a leg injury. I loved all the pictures and updates. You were great at communicating and following all my extensive instructions 😅 and also were super flexible and helpful during a stressful period. You also really cared about my dog's well being, taking him on sniffing walks and car rides and playing games with him to keep him entertained. I would 100% recommend you both to other dog parents! Thank you!”
“We had the most wonderful experience with Siqin dog sitting for us for a week! They took such good care of our dog and sent multiple pictures and videos throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. They also made sure all his medications were given on time. We could tell he was happy and well looked after. We would absolutely book them again!”
“Stephen watched my dog Zuko for the second time and my other dog nori for the first! He updated me with photos and we had a great meet and greet. He’s definitely my go to dog sitter when I know I’m going to be out of town.”
“Judi has been fantastic with our two boxer girls! We’ve used her services multiple times and always feel confident that they’re in great hands. She provides frequent updates, is highly responsive, and takes wonderful care of them. We truly appreciate her and highly recommend her services. Thank you, Judi!.”
About: I absolutely LOVE dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes, and I just want to be their best friend! I currently have a cat and have previously fostered a large dog and hosted dogs in my home for up to one week while their owners were out of town. I'd love to do drop-in visits to make sure your pet is well taken care of while you're away. I also offer doggie daycare if your dog has separation anxiety and just needs someone to cuddle and play with them while you're at work! I have lots of experience caring for cats as well as experience with dog sitting for extended periods of time. I’m very patient with getting to know new animals and earn their trust. I have experience caring for puppies to senior dogs of all sizes and will cater to your dog's individual energy level and personality. I have also taken care of many different cats of all ages and personalities. I'm very willing to work with you and your fur baby to make sure that that all of his/her needs are met, and most importantly that you feel comfortable knowing that your pet is happy well taken care of. I have experience administering medication to cats (i.e. pills and other oral medication). For drop-in visits, I’m also more than happy to help with any chores around the house if needed, such as watering plants and bringing in the mail. I'm fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and have also gotten three booster shots, including the bivalent booster I’m currently working on a hybrid schedule, so I’ll be home during the weekdays on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Since my job is mostly sitting at a desk all day, I’d love any excuse to get outdoors to get some exercise and take your dogs on long walks! If your dog likes to play fetch, I keep a whole bag of tennis balls on hand just for the dogs I take care of. Your pet will be treated as if he/she were my own and will receive all the love and belly scratches while they're in my care. I'll make sure that they have enough food and water and spend time playing and/or cuddling with them. I'll also send lots of photos after each visit.
“Joey and Coco had a wonderful time staying with Nicole. She sent me frequent updates about their activity and kept them engaged throughout their stay. I will definitively be rebooking their stay with her the next time I need to travel.”
“Tianying kept Pasha, our dog, extremely active and engaged the whole time suring her overnight stay. She was very flexible and accomidating and kept Pasha in good shape. She also sent us a bunch of cute photos and videos. I would heartily recommend them.”
About: I have extensive experience in dog care, having worked with various breeds and temperaments. I prioritize providing a safe and comfortable environment (my home is situated in 10,000 sq ft fenced lot) for all the dogs I board, ensuring they feel at home while away from their owners. One of the key aspects of my care is offering homemade, fresh meals tailored to each dog's dietary needs, which I prepare daily. This personal touch ensures the dogs receive the best nutrition and maintain their health while in my care. I also make sure to provide regular exercise, attention, and grooming to keep them happy and well-cared for. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine, and I make sure to allocate specific time for each task to ensure the pets receive the attention and care they need. Each morning, I start by feeding the pets homemade, fresh meals, followed by a walk or playtime for exercise. Throughout the day, I monitor their well-being, providing additional activities, grooming, and companionship. In the evening, I ensure they get a final meal and some quiet time before settling in for the night. Pet care is seamlessly integrated into my schedule, and I always prioritize their health, happiness, and comfort. I have huge fenced yard and one dog to create homely environment. I like to hang out with furry companions and provide TLC for their comfort 😃
“Phina took great care of Motzi and he had a fun time at her place with the other dogs. She was constantly in communication and made us feel comfortable while being away.”
“She took great care of my two doodles and sent me photos and videos every day. I could tell that the dogs were happy staying with her! She also kept them clean, even after all the walks she had taken them out for. Highly recommend! I'm rebooking her for sure!!”
“Shruti and Gautham are very kind and are very accommodating dog sitters. They already have a large breed at theirs so it was very relieving and didn’t have a worry much about running them through big dog details. We are very glad we found them on rover and although Leo is nervous at new place he did great for the first time with them and I am pretty sure he’ll only get comfortable and be excited to go to them in no time. Thanks for taking care of Leo guys”
“Pratima is amazing! She’s so welcoming and caring, and Maverick feels completely at home with her. She always keeps me updated with messages and photos, which I really appreciate. I can tell she truly loves what she does — Maverick gets so excited every time he sees her. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can fully trust with my pup!”
“Emma is a great dog sitter who takes amazing care of all dogs. She is very caring and understanding to all dogs and makes them feel at home. Emma is the perfect dog sitter!”
“Jax enjoyed his stay at Paw Vivant! I was super nervous to find a new sitter since I just moved to the area but Elise really made it easy while I was away with lots of pictures and updates. Super detailed oriented to Jax’s specific care needs. Jax will be back soon :)”
“Matthew has shown so much care for both our cute Lilo and ourselves. He took the time and effort to bond with Lilo, along with his lovely daughter, and left Lilo and us with the clear feeling that Lilo is in the best possible hands. Thank you Matthew!”
