Gabrielle was so helpful with my doggos! We had a pet emergency right before we left to go on an international trip and she was able to help give medicine and comfort. You can’t go wrong with Gabrielle!

About: Most of my experience was from growing up with my cockapoo Casey. He made me realize how much I enjoyed the company of dogs, and it made me more than happy to help family and friends with looking after their own pets when they would be away. I always want to make sure they're kept loved and appreciated and would do my best to make it feel like their routine is the same as it always is. Since I currently have a part-time job from home, I have the flexibility to take care of pets during the day for any food or potty breaks, as well as availability during the afternoon and evening to give dogs the love and attention they need. I live in a home without a fence, however we live in a neighborhood that makes for easy walking. There is also space indoors for dogs to run around and play with toys, which my previous cockapoo would do all the time.

Yuliia did a wonderful job caring for our sweet dog Aspen and keeping our house clean and organized. Her level of communication was above & beyond and we absolutely loved every video & photo she sent to us. She was very professional, punctual, and we could clearly see how much she cared for our dog. She was by far the best sitter we have had and we highly recommend her!

Ke'vin was very flexible with scheduling when we had to find someone quickly to leave town for a family emergency. With little notice, he came to our house for a first meeting and then started the next day for a overnight sitting service for five days. Our senior dog is always afraid of new people but Ke'vin sent videos of her and it's clear she warmed up quickly to him and really liked him. He gave her meds with no issue. I'm glad we found Ke'vin on Rover!

About: I grew up in a tropical country, surrounded by animals everyday. Naturally, learning and caring about them became my passion. I also have my own pet cats and dogs as well. I believe that I can provide the best love and care needed. I currently work at home, so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies! Preferably noon to night time only because I have to take care of my babies as well. I’m living in a single house right now with a cat and a dog. Your fur babies will have plenty of friends to play with here!

Maya did an outstanding job for us. She accepted a last minute request, which included a 6-day stay at our home while we were out of town on vacation. She connected very well with our 72 pound medium Bernedoodle, giving him lots of attention and care. Everything went smoothly and she remained focused and supportive to the end, even when our return flight was delayed by 3 hours. Thanks again Maya.

About: I’ve been around and had dogs my whole life. Whether it be taking care of them from a couple weeks old giving birth training, staying active or even just going for a hike. I’m currently a social media influencer so I work remotely and don’t have a high demand of attention needed for my work. So I would love to stay busy whether it be walking dogs, cuddling and playing or even taking selfie else and get that perfect dog portrait. I am able to host or come to your location to better accommodate your fur baby. Love taking dogs on walks so we both can get our steps in.
