About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats from a young age and have also been a loving dog mom to many boxers! I’ve moved far from home and have been missing my dogs, I am excited to watch and care for any dogs or cats in the area, promising to take good care of them and make sure they feel loved! I currently work full time during the week but I am available evenings during the week and any time on weekends for walks and to play with your pets! During the weekdays I am available after 4pm. I have a long history of walking and caring for dogs. When caring for dogs or cats in your home or when taking them on walks I will be sure to take precautions in order to keep your pets safe and happy.
“Diego was great cat sitter for our two cats! He did well communicating and accommodating our requests. I could not recommend him enough and will definitely rebook him in the future!”
“Jackie was very pleasant to work with, asked questions to cover all the angles to make sure my super senior kitty was taken care of, including about giving her medication which Jackie did with ease. She sent me pictures for each visit and provided thorough notes/summaries, and I could tell she genuinely adores cats and showed that love to Moojie. I will absolutely hire her again!”
“Paul took great care of our two cats while we were away. He asked good questions, made sure he knew everything he needed to, was very courteous, and made sure we got regular updates. We felt completely at ease and confident that our cats were well taken care of. I would recommend Paul to any potential clients.”
About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and have raised mine from puppies. I’ve also happily walked, house-sat for, and boarded friends’ dogs in times when I didn’t have one of my own. I’m planning a career transition and will be working on a personal creative project, so I will have a flexible schedule to respond to pet parents’ needs during busy work days. Regular walks are important for a happy and healthy pup! When I walk my own dog, I follow routes that will keep us both safe and am always careful in any interactions with other dogs, especially if we don’t know them. I’d do the same for your pet and abide by any specific instructions you might have!
About: I grew up with dogs and have a deep love for them, even though I don’t currently have one of my own. This gives me an extra dose of excitement when I get to spend time with other people’s dogs! I understand the care, attention, and energy dogs need, and I’m dedicated to providing a safe and fun environment for your furry friend while you're away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine! With a flexible schedule, I make sure to prioritize my pet’s needs. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, feeding, or grooming, I adapt my day to ensure they’re happy and healthy. I enjoy incorporating their care into my activities, making it a fun and rewarding part of my life! I offer drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting right at your place, since my apartment isn’t the best setup for watching pets. During drop-ins, I make sure your pet gets fed, has fresh water, and some quality playtime. For walks, I focus on keeping them active and happy. And when I’m pet sitting, I stick to a routine that includes feeding, play, and plenty of love. I want your pets to feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away! If your dog is VERY strong and pulls A LOT, I absolutely require a meet and greet to make sure I can safely walk with them on a leash if leash walking is required. Also if payment for parking is required. I will request reimbursement.
“McKenna was amazing with Goose and Roo! We came back to tired, content puppies. McKenna was great with sending regular updates and pictures. We definitely plan to have her watch the dogs again next time we’re out of town!”

Ashton Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Trustworthy, professional ,and easy to communicate with! Julia is exactly who we were looking for to care for our pets, including a special needs cat. We will definitely be using her services again as our animals seemed to really like her, and she was really wonderful with them.
Maria was such a wonderful sitter for our cat while we were gone. She put me at ease, was super organized and routine with her visits, provided ample pictures and notes, and was a genuinely lovely person who I felt I could trust immediately. My cat was so comfortable with her. I will certainly use her again!
Heyssell did a great job taking care of our cat and dog while we went away for the weekend. It was nice that she was close by so we could meet in person before we left. She was professional, very friendly, sweet and patient with our pets. She sent me photos when she arrived to feed them. She left me voice notes when she left and locked up. I Will definitely be hiring her again!
This was our first time using a non friend or family to take care of our cat, so we were a little nervous but Elysse surpassed our expectations. She was friendly, left good updates, took very good photos, better than the ones we get and our cat seems perfectly content and healthy.
Aurora did a great job taking care of our cats while we were traveling, making sure they had food, water, and a clean litterbox and taking time to give them attention and play with them. She sent great pictures and thorough updates, and she even won over our shy cat! Will definitely be reaching out next time we are going out of town
I cannot say enough about how much we love Daphne. I was nervous to hire a dog walker for my new puppy, Truffle, but Daphne has made it such a great experience. She is a great communicator, works with me so we are training Truffle in similar ways, and most importantly she clearly loves working with dogs. Since walking with Daphne Truffle has been better behaved, calmer in her kennel, and less anxious; I have also been less anxious knowing my pup is safe and cared for.
