“Camille and Shayla were amazing with my cat, and are very lovely people. My cat is very shy towards new people, and they respected his boundaries. He came out of his shell after a few days of them stopping by. I appreciated their detailed reports.”


About: I have been around pets my whole life, when I was a kid in vancouver I used to imagine living in an apartment in portland and walking people’s dogs while I enjoy the city 😆 My schedule is in the process of changing and is inconsistent, I will take as many appointments as I have free time. should be available more often than not! lots of experience walking dogs, aware of how to keep a dog safe on a leash around other dogs and busy roads. experience with very small and relatively large dogs
“Raven took it slow with Molly on her first visit, gave Molly time to smell things out and wander around the house with her there. Within a short period of time, Molly was all kisses and cuddles with Raven, even got her out for a walk on the first visit. Raven is so patient and calm with hesitant/nervous dogs. She's a bit of a dog whisperer. Molly loves you Raven, looking forward to the next visit 😍”


“I’ve used Karly now three times as my cat-sitter while away to take care of my two cats, and just recently, for two weeks while out of the country. She’s great!! She makes sure my two babies are well taken care of - she’s gotten to know both of their personalities and tends to both of their needs (one’s playfulness and the other’s snuggles/pets)! She goes above and beyond and also considers me and the house while gone out of the country (by taking out the trash on trash day for example). She’s also a great communicator and I feel at ease trusting her to take care of both my cats and my home while away!”

“Christopher was absolutely amazing! He played with our boy and sent us lots of pictures. He will be my first choice going forward! I cannot more highly recommend this guy!”

“Just starting using Rover and Colby, my first time. Impressed by the prompt communication, updates, pictures if my dogs. Also, punctual. Thank you!”

“Lucinda was great! I had a bit of an unusual care situation going on while I was gone this time, but I appreciated her updates and would definitely book with her again.”

“Charlie is the absolute best cat sitter ever! I have used his 4-5 times for a few days to 2 weeks. My cat adores him! He provides great updates and pictures. I know my kitty’s needs are well taken care of when I am gone.”

“This is our second time booking with Tayla and we couldn’t be more happy. She loves our dogs like her own. She even went out of her way to get them treats. She communicates so good and always puts my anxiety at ease being away from our babies. She seriously is the BEST!!!! We loveeee her and so do our babies!❤️🐾”

“This was my first time using Rover and a dog sitter, so I was a little nervous at first — but Kathy immediately put me at ease! She was warm, professional, and clearly experienced with dogs. My pups were relaxed and enjoyed their time with her. I appreciated the updates and photos she sent, which really helped me relax while I was away. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience — thank you, Kathy!”

“Chris was the absolute best! The dogs loved him and can't wait for him to visit again. He kept us very well informed - we felt very well taken care of too. We are very thankful to him for saving our Thanksgiving trip.”

“They really went above and beyond! We never leave our boys alone for very long and I was a little nervous, especially with two crazy kittens and one elderly cat that's had health issues in the past and is very scared of new people. They went above and beyond my expectations! They were so wonderful i got the cutest photos and sweetest updates from them, and was really able to enjoy my holidays knowing that my boys were in good hands! And after our plane was delayed they went above and beyond and checked on the boys last minute. I'm so happy to have found them and can't recommend them enough!”

“Mackenzie was amazing with our dog Lou. We felt very comfortable having Mackenzie watch our baby boy. We were nervous at first because Lou has a lot of quirks but Lou and Mackenzie did great together! It’s such a relief being able to rely on Mackenzie to take care of him. Mackenzie is very good with dogs, he’s professional, and you won’t have to worry about a thing. It helps that he’s a dog trainer too! Looking forward to having Mackenzie watch him in the future! Thank you so so much Mack!”

“Hannah was absolutely fantastic! She was peace of mind for my kitties while i was away from home, and sent some really fantastic pics/videos of my babies. They were well taken care of. Will absolutely use Hannah again for when i am out of town!!”

About: My name is Sarah and I'm a dog lover. I work full time as a nurse and on my days off I like to be active and go on walks or hikes. I'm excited for the weather to get warmer and for the flowers to start blooming. I love to throw the frisbee or playing tug-of-war. I am also happy to sit on the floor and watch TV or study while my new furry friend takes a nap. I have experience with overnight housesits and also cats if you ever need additional feline care. I currently have two cats of my own. I love to explore new neighborhoods and local parks on foot with a new furry companion. Message me with any questions that you may have!
“Susan did a great job with the drop in visits and our senior pup. She kept us informed and feeling calm while we were away knowing how our girl was doing and that she was getting the care she needed.”

About: LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent friendly! My home: 1 bedroom apartment, ground floor. Live with my partner. Do not hesitate to ask for lower rates! I like to be as respectful and loving to animals as much as I can. I prefer to let them come to me, and show that I am not a threat. All I want is for animals to feel comfortable. I work a part-time job, so any time between that would be great to fill with cute animals. I don't have any pets of my own. Make sure they have a safe and comfortable environment. Make sure I check on them and give them love. With respect, I make sure the animal senses that I am there for them. Positive reinforcement only. I will never let another animal interact with your dog, or let a stranger touch your dog.
Brooklyn pet parents share their Rover experiences
Abeni was the perfect cat sitter. Sent videos and photos of my cat. Fed him and cleaned his book and cleaned up afterwards. Everything was exactly what you would hope for. But even more than all that, it felt really clear to me that she was a great presence for our cat while gone. She was very loving and attentive and I fully trusted our cat to be well looked after and loved while I was gone. There's really nothing at all she could have done to improve. Excellent sitter. You can travel knowing that your animal is well taken care of.

Laura has been incredible!! When I went back to work in office I was so worried about our pets being home and she’s taken amazing care of our dog each week with walks and now our kitty when we go out of town. Super responsible and genuinely loves animals. Highly recommend!

Taylor dropped in on my 13 year old terrier-chihuahua mix twice a day for 2 days (4 visits). He absolutely loved her immediately and she really seemed to understand his personality right off the bat. I liked having pics and reports of how he was doing because it had been a couple of years since I’ve had to be away from him for an extended period. I highly recommend Taylor for dog or cat care and will definitely request her again.
