Mahima has a genuine heart to help her clients. She was flexible and took the time to understand our needs. Being that Affy is 17 years old, he needed lots of love and care we had no doubt that she would be able to care for him during our time away. Thank you!

About: I’ve had two furries, a cat and a dog and they are currently with my family living in NYC. I have experience taking care of them for over 3 years since they are just a kitten and a puppy. I helped my puppy Labrador Retriever break her potty and other aspects of training. I am calm and resilient. At the same time, I truly care about the furries and try to match my energies to theirs when it comes to exercise! I enjoy taking care of paw friends including Labrador Retriever, Rottweiler, German Shepherd, Husky, Australian Cattle, Pomeranian, Forkie, and more. I go for a jog or a run during the weekend no matter what. So, your paw friends would be part of it in the mornings and evenings. Generally, I will give a morning run or a walk for 30 minutes and potty breaks every 2-3 hours during the weeks/ends. Before dinner time, I’d make sure to give them a brief walk as well, as I need one to wrap up my day. During the weekend, I will take your furry friends everywhere I go, unless I have to go dining somewhere/church for 2-4 hours. You let me know if you'd like me to let you know in advance so you are comfortable with it. I have two Nest Cameras installed in the house specifically facing toward the entrance door, balcony, too, and of course your furry friends. I can always see the alert of what’s happened throughout the day + anything that happens will be recorded for safety purposes!

About: We both grew up with dogs. We currently have 1 cat which we have had for 10 years, a large dog, and a medium sized dogs. This collection of pets gives us a good amount of experience in caring for different types of pets as well as how they interact with each other. In addition to our own pets we have also cared for some of our friends pets overnight on many occasions and have shared houses with roommates who have also had dogs and cats. I have no prior professional experience caring for others pets, do I m a behavioral psychologist who has worked with neurodivergent children for many years and can apply these concepts to pet care. One of us works from home 5 days a week and the other works from home 2 days a week. With the exception of some meetings, can be flexible to provide care at most times of the day. In our experience, that dogs and cats crave more than anything else is safety, trust, and an understanding of the ways they attempt to communicate with you. Our pets are capable of being on their own when needed, but when we are around they never leave our sides even for a moment. They are obedience as trained through positive reinforcement and socialization through meaningful experiences. They look to us for guidance, but we also like to challenge them to think for themselves to solve problems such as getting a to out of reach or navigating to us when the path is not visibly clear. I give this level of attention and support to every pet I meet and know how to build a relationship of trust and respect quickly and effectively. Even pets belonging to former roommates tend to follow me more than their owners after enough time.

About: I take my roommates dogs on walks and for daily play time. I have done some training with her and picked her up from vet appointments. I have a daily routine of taking the dogs for walks in the morning. I am available morning and afternoons. It's important to make time for the pets. Never yelling at pets. I think the best way to form a relationship with an animal is by getting to know them and training them.

About: I am a third year college student attending CSULB majoring in hospitality management. I grew up in the Bay Area where I’ve babysat for many years, and pet sit for the last few. Many of which have been ongoing for the past few years. Growing up I had a gecko, and then later on had a hairless cat, which now lives with my older brother. I do have a part time job at the moment working at a restaurant, however would love to get time to walk or play with animals when time allows! I see it as a great way to relax and focus on the positives in life. I do not have the capacity to care for pets in my own home, however I have a reliable car and am happy to travel to yours and provide the services needed.

About: I have been caring for dogs for over 40 years, off and on and for the last 6 years. I work part time from home and my teens are homeschooling so I have time at home to play and care for your loved ones. In my home, pets are family and they are treated as such! I have a big, enclosed backyard for lots of playtime fun and doggy door access from the house so they have plenty of places to roam and explore. I have 2 small dogs (Coco 5yrs. is a Pug Mix and Luna 4 yrs is a Pug), both rescues. Luna we raised from 3 months old. They love meeting new friends and playing in a pack! I have been using Rover myself, for almost eight years, whenever we go on vacation and I love this service! My dogs have so much fun when they are away with their sitter family and I want to help other dogs and families feel the same peace of mind while they are away! I am lucky enough to be able to work part time from home and assist my homeschooling teens. Because I am home everyday, I make time to get outside often. I include all of the dogs in our playtime and the more, the merrier! I live in a house with a fenced in backyard. I have easy access to the backyard with a doggy door. I allow dogs on our furniture. They are part of the family, after all. My home is dog proof and I gate off areas they are not allowed, such as kids rooms. Dogs sleep in my room, either in a dog bed or kennel, whatever you prefer. I have extra beds & blankets as well. We spend time doing outdoor play a few times a day.

About: Hi! I’m Berenice, a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I grew up volunteering at my local adoption centers and shelters, so I understand the importance of compassion, patience, and proper care. I also raised my German Shepherd from puppyhood, giving me hands-on experience with training, exercise, and socialization. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry friend while you’re away, and I treat every pet like part of my family—giving walks, playtime, check-ins, and plenty of love. I’m very flexible and currently available any day or time. I can accommodate your pet’s schedule, providing loving care, walks, playtime, and peace of mind. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions the owner provides, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special needs. I spend quality time with your pets—walking, playing, cuddling, and giving them attention—so they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I also keep your home secure and tidy, provide updates with photos or messages, and make sure your pets get consistent care and companionship, just like they would with you.

Tanesha is one of the best Rover’s that I have worked with. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and care are unparalleled. She took amazing care of both of my fur babies and kept me updated thoroughly during The time that I was away. There was 0 question as to whether they were in great hands. I’ll definitely be booking again with Tanesha in the future!

Raymond is one of the best dog sitters out there. If you want someone reliable and caring look no further than Raymond. My pup Drogon is an elderly great Dane with Wobblers Syndrome. He needs special care that Raymond does without question. During his session with Drogon its undeniable that my boy gets the attention and care that he needs whether it be extra pets, talking to him, exercise, water, medication, and cleaning him after he soils himself. I have no doubt that when Raymond comes over to watch him that he will be comfortable and it brings me peace of mind.

This is the second time Tina has cat sat for me. She’s always very polite, friendly and professional. She takes really good care of my pet. This second time I had to book her last minute and she was thankfully available. Tina followed my instructions well. My cat was doing very well when I returned home. I can recommend Tina for any pet sitting and I will continue to book her for my future needs. Thanks Tina!

OMG! Prudence is amazing and my Handsome just took right too her. She stopped by, snuggled and played with him and even hand fed him treats like I mentioned (he loves that!). She gave the best updates and photos. She even cleaned up after my handsome when he barfed on the rug (hate she had to deal with that 😩)... she was so nice to me too... because I was nervous about getting a cat sitter (great customer service!) I'm confident my Poppie Doop was well taken care of 🥰🥰🥰😁 Prudence will definitely be my go to person to keep my baby company, when I'm gone! Soo grateful 🙏🏿 🙏🏿🙏🏿
