About: Hi, I’m Yari! I’ve grown up and cared for pets my entire life. I have a 12-year old beagle-mix pup 🐶 who loves naps and going on sniffaris. 💚 I have cared for dogs and cats with separation anxiety, leash pulling, and reactivity from ages ranging from puppies to seniors. I’m familiar with basic obedience training and positive reinforcement techniques. I’m experienced in administering oral medications and managing complex feeding schedules. 🩷 Every pet gets personalized attention. Whether your dog has high energy and needs a long, brisk walk, or your cat prefers quiet companionship and feather wand playtime, I adapt my visits to your pet's needs. 🩵 For walks: I follow your routines explicitly to ensure a stress-free experience. I avoid off-leash areas, enforce strict safety measures on walks, and practice safe socialization. 🧡 For house-sitting: I know how hard it is to leave your fur babies. I provide regular updates and photos through the Rover app so you have total peace of mind while you are away. 💛 Please feel free to ask any questions :) I’m currently working from home part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I’m available weekdays and weekends during the mornings (10am-12pm), midday (12pm-2pm) and afternoon/night (2pm to 10pm) for walks and drop-ins. I also offer overnight stay both during the weekdays and weekends with dedicated morning and evening pet time. I request a meet and greet before accepting to take care of your pet at your home to align on expectations. In this meet and greet, we would review your pet’s daily routine, dietary needs, medication schedules, and behavioral quirks. Also discuss home access, safety measures, and disclosing security cameras or household staff who may come by during the visit. For house-sitting, I will ensure consistent communication by sending 2-3 updates per day with photos and summaries of how your pet ate, their bathroom habits, and how they behaved. I will also treat your residence with respect.

“Tirzah did an exceptional job taking care of my kitties. McLovin connected with her instantly, and she always played with him which he loves. Ms. Vanjie takes more time to get close to new people but Tirzah was patient and gave Vanj the space to come out and play when she was ready. I felt really good on my trip knowing our babies were safe and in good hands”
About: I have over 10 years of pet care experience, taking care of my family’s two dogs and cat, fostering dogs for two years at a local animal shelter, and sitting/ walking neighborhood pets. I currently am free all day, 7 days a week until I begin work as a preschool summer camp counselor in the end of June. After that, I still have a lot of availability, M-F anytime after 3pm and anytime on weekends. I have a fenced yard and crates available if needed. I live in a safe neighborhood with a park nearby which is perfect for walks, and have an animal-loving family. I am an avid rule follower, responsive communicator and will prioritize ensuring the safety of each pet.
“Melissa was so sweet to our cat Hazel whom immediately took to her. Our road flooded and was closed due to a downed tree and she still came to feed her! I literally can't imagine someone nicer and more responsible.”
“Molly is an attentive and caring pet sitter who communicates thoroughly and shows up for the pets and owners alike. Thank you for coming through last minute and taking care of my girl!”
About: I feel what makes me different from other candidates is that I have treats for them. I make sure they are always comfortable. I give you updates on how they are doing. I know as dog parents sometimes we stress of knowing how they are. I also have been working taking care of dogs since I was 15. It was helped me learn a lot through the years Taking care of your fur baby fits in my daily routine because I have extra time and I enjoy going on walks and they bring so much joy. What makes my home safe is that I live a safe area. There is a park across the street across the street. They also get the backyard. There are no kids and they will monitored.

“I was hesitant to use a new dog walker, but my experience with Natalie was very assuring and she was fantastic with my dog King! She was friendly, always on time for the walks, professional and very responsible. I feel so relieved now that I found another great Dog Walker. I highly recommend Natalie and look forward to using her in the future.”
“Tracy and Steven were awesome—our pets were clearly in great hands. They really took the time to bond with them, playing with our dog and giving lots of attention and cuddles to our cats. They showed up three times a day like clockwork and even grabbed a couple packages from the front door, which we really appreciated. The updates and photos after each visit were thoughtful and reassuring. It made a big difference not having to worry about our animal children while we were away. We’d definitely book them again.”
“I booked Ruby very last minute and she was very accommodating and followed the instructions I left her to a T. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and responsive pet sitter!”

We even got a custom drawing of Dopey which we love and cherish! I trust Jojo completely to look after my pets and highly recommend them!”
West Orange dog parents share their Rover experiences
I’d easily recommend Jonny to anyone. Me and my wife have a fairy large dog who doesn’t love new people. With our wedding coming up we needed to find someone to pop in and check on him, Jonny did just that for us and alleviated a lot of our stress. Jonny was super flexible with his schedule, he took the time to get out dog comfortable with him. At first meeting our dog was on the aggressive side and Jonny didn’t flinch. He’s a true pro. Beyond that he’s a great guy, super calm and friendly, there was never a doubt about his character and leaving him access to our house. We will definitely be using him more in the future. I couldn’t recommend him more.
Tracy and Steve were amazing! They helped us out last minute when we were traveling and our dog got sick and wasn’t able to board through doggy daycare. They absolutely saved us! They were highly communicative and even sent photos and videos all day of our happy pup playing. I highly recommend them and will absolutely book with them again!
Chris is amazing! My puppy is very high energy and can be quite mouthy, and he handles him so calmly and confidently. Chris has a kind, steady demeanor that our puppy immediately responds to, and he’s incredibly patient. Chris is also extremely professional, reliable, and communicative — I always know how things are going and feel totally at ease when he’s with my pup. It’s clear he really understands dogs and knows how to work with challenging puppy behavior. I feel very lucky to have found him and highly recommend!
Caitlin was super accommodating accepting my request 1 day before as I urgently needed a backup sitter for a drop in. We scheduled our meet up the same day the request was submitted, and once her and Harlem were acquainted, I felt comfortable enough to trust someone to do a drop in. Harlem can be high energy, but Caitlin took such good care of him. She followed my instructions and provided constant updates during her visit along with pictures. I would rebook with Caitlin again and recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can trust their fur baby with. Harlem says thank you, Caitlin!! :)
