“Marcelle is kind, patient, punctual and a great communicator. She follows through with directions and provides thorough details at each visit. She has terrific skills with elder dogs and puppies. We are always pleased to have her return to our home to care for our dog when available.”
“Ashlee has looked after my 7 year old English bulldog twice and has been nothing short of amazing. Ashlee communicates great, provides detailed updates and pics. I can tell she has a genuine love for doggy’s. Thank you ! You’re the best !!”
About: I’ve always had a love for dogs and enjoy spending quality time with them. Over the years, I’ve cared for friends’ and family’s dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from playful pups to more relaxed companions. I’m attentive, patient, and fully committed to making each walk safe, enjoyable, and tailored to your dog’s needs. Whether it’s a high energy play session or a calm stroll, I take pride in building trust with every dog I meet. I am available most weekdays with various time slots throughout the day, I have limited availability on weekends for dog walking. I’m currently accepting a small number of clients so I can provide consistent, high-quality care. I take good care of other people's home to ensure it was left exactly how I found it. I will only be popping in and out for a quick potty break/feed/play visit and to gather your pups and return them for their walks.
“Amazing 🌟 Yichen really took care of my girl! Sudden changes in plans, and I found myself with no one to look after my pup, but Yichen was so fast at responding, left such detailed notes, I felt so at ease having Hara under her care. Cannot recommend enough!!! ありがとう〜！”
“Rachael was absolutely amazing with my 11 week old puppy Hamilton ! Booked her for a drop in visit. She was so communicative and sent me so many pictures. She followed all my directions perfectly and my puppy was left happy and tired and took the best nap of his life !! I can't wait to book her again and I can't wait to see her relationship with Hamilton develop ! He absolutely loved her ! Thank you Rachael!”
“She was so thorough, thoughtful, and considerate of everything I asked. I was left with so many pictures, accommodation and care when it came to my two girls. I definitely would rebook with her based off of this experience and it gave me such a peace of mind being away from my cats for so long. seriously appreciated!!”
About: A few fun facts about me: 🚽 I clean the litter box as often as I flush my own toilet 🥗 My pets eat organic, while I’m perfectly fine with fast food 💇 They get daily grooming, while I have a bad hair everyday 🫧 I keep their bowls spotless and shining 🦮 I make sure dogs get real walks, not just quick potty breaks (And this part might be a little bit long) I truly treat pets as family, but I also believe in raising them in a healthy, balanced way. I don’t just love them, I care about their physical and emotional well-being. I’ve raised my Shiba Inu (Chai) since she was 3 months old, and she’s now 10. Shibas are known for being stubborn, but she is well-trained, emotionally stable and sweet, and always praised by our vet for her health and temperament. I’ve always made sure she has the best care, structure, and attention she needs to thrive. I also have two long-haired cats, one Ragdoll (Mabu) and one British Longhair (Mango), so I’m very familiar with the level of grooming, patience, and daily care they require. Their coats are always well-maintained and tangle-free. Mango went through serious health challenges two years ago when he was 5-month old, and I personally managed his treatment at home for 84 days, followed by months of close care. He is now strong, active, and very healthy. I’ve also handled emergency situations and know how to act quickly when something isn’t right. Through all of this, I’ve become very comfortable with medications, health monitoring, and understanding different pet personalities. I’m patient, observant, and detail-oriented, but also calm and reliable in stressful situations. I’m flexible, communicative, and I genuinely care. Your pet won’t just be looked after, they’ll be understood, respected, and cared for like one of my own. I work part-time and have a pretty flexible schedule, so I’m able to spend a good amount of time caring for fur babies throughout the day! I keep a calm, safe home and have experience helping cats and dogs live together comfortably. I take time to understand their personalities and make sure everyone feels at ease.
“Yung is reliable and professional. She is quick to respond to messages which is very reassuring when it comes to our fur baby. I was able to book her to help us out last minute and she was very communicative about the details of her visits including lots of photos. She also has amazing independent judgment because I forgot to tell her not to leave toys out for our dog who likes to eat toys and she knew to put things back before she left. Highly recommend her and will definitely use her services again!”

“Did an awesome job with my puppy, arrived on time, amazing communication. Morgan also accommodated both all my requests as well as the hoops my apartment building requires for recurring visitors (not many, but still) I’m planning to rebook regularly.”
About: I’ve grown up around animals most of my life. I’m not able to have a pet now so this is a great hobby for me to still spend time with them :) I love long walks or just hanging out and cuddling I work from home so I have a very flexible schedule and love being outdoors. Willing to travel or spend the night if needed :) High attention to detail and willing to send lots of updates and pictures! I’m also a clean freak and will go above and beyond for your pets care
“Irene is fantastic. Very professional, communicates extremely well, and is great with our dog. Our pup is in a shy phase, and Irene has been extremely patient with her as they get to know each other. She knows how to properly establish a relationship with dogs. She always sends detailed reports, and makes sure our dog is comfortable and has her food and water taken care of. Looking forward to continuing on with Irene.”
“Lauren is truly the best! She cared for my babies for almost two years and was always so attentive, sending photos and updates that meant so much to me. Bailey and Miyagi absolutely adored her. I’m so sad that I’m moving away. It honestly made me cry because Lauren became like family to my babies. This feels like the hardest goodbye. I’m even nervous about finding someone new because she was just that amazing. Thank you for EVERYTHING Lauren! I hope we cross paths someday! Book with her! She’s absolutely the best in town!”
“Victoria was great! She took great care of our 3 cattos, she was on time, kept us informed, shared pictures with us, etc She understood our cats’ personalities and was able to connect with them accordingly. She was extremely helpful and supportive, we will definitely keep her in mind for future bookings.”
About: I’ve had experience sitting dogs for years. I have a 5 year old dog named Isabelle (now with my sister in Hawai’i) who we trained and raised since she was a puppy. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes and I’m ready to take your dog on epic walks and adventures! I’m currently going to school full-time, so I’m free Mondays & Wednesdays before 11 AM and after 7 PM, Tuesdays & Thursdays before 1 PM and after 4 PM, and any time on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I will care for your dog based on the instructions given to me! I can play, feed, and walk your dog and make sure your dog has a great experience with me.
About: I grew up with dogs (labs) for a good portion of my upbringing (5-7 years) and my family still has one that I see and watch/dogsit when needed. Don't have time/space for my own dog now, so I thought this was a good way to be around them and help others. I am available on the weekends for pet care as I have to work full time during the week. I am available all day Saturday and Sunday (and Friday nights if needed). I'd consider myself very attentive when it comes to being responsible for dogs, especially if its only for walks and check ins. Having grown up with dogs I know what certain triggers can be so I always avoid those (and any other ones people note).
About: I have taken care of my three dogs since I was 12. I have experience taking care of small to large dogs, poodles, Shiba Inu, golden retrievers. Since I now live away from my family and I work from home, I decided to make my apartment a second home to many more dogs. I will have lots of time to play with dogs and walk them. Daily work time 9 am to 5:30 pm, not very busy. Meeting usually starts 10 am, have lunch break, can walk dogs in addition to potty break. For dog walking requests, I am available before 9 am and after 5:30 pm. I can bring dogs to the neighborhood for walks and parks on the weekends to use burn there energies. I also have a balcony for dog to take a sun bath.
“Brie was reliable and responsive. She made sure my cat got all of the attention and care that he needed. I had peace of mind while we were gone on a trip. I highly recommend her!”
Business District pet parents share their Rover experiences
Elicia one of my favorite cat sitters. She’s incredibly thorough, loving, attentive, and communicates everything. Which is exactly what you need while you’re gone, and your furry one is at home. She will make your pet feel so loved, and part of her own family. I trust her completely with my cat, and in my home. Which is what makes me feel safe to keep coming back to her. So lucky to have found her!
Xiao did an absolutely fantastic job caring for my two cats. She was incredibly attentive and clearly took the time to make sure they were comfortable, happy, and well cared for. She spent quality time with them, especially engaging with my younger, very energetic cat, which I really appreciated. She was consistent, reliable, and had excellent communication throughout. I received plenty of updates, including photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I also have a cat who is a major door dasher, and Xiao was extremely careful every single time and he did not get out once. She followed all of my instructions exactly and went above and beyond. I will absolutely be using Xiao again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you again. You took such good care of them and I really appreciate it.
Irene is fantastic. She was very patient with our large 95 lb dog, who is gentle but shy with new people. She formed a nice bond with her, and was extremely reliable and always communicated and verified the drop-ins, as they changed every week over our 10 week period. Irene takes great pictures and provides excellent reports. She does not hesitate to reach out if she has a question or concern during her drop ins. We are looking forward to having Irene visit our girl again.
Deborah is amazing with our 13 week old puppy. She is sweet, skilled and professional! She plays with her and reinforces trainings we have been doing and even adds additional trainings she knows! We love her and are thrilled to be working with her! Thanks Deborah :)
This is our second time asking Weng to take care of my cat and goldfish. On the report from her, we could tell how they were happy. She did wonderful job, and there was nothing to worry while we were away. Thank you Weng, and we will request you in the future again.
Mable is the cat whisperer! I am so please with Mable and am happy to have found a trustworthy person who can check in on my very shy sensitive senior cat when I’m away. My cat actually came out to say hi to her and even ate in front of her (which is extremely rare). Mable provided a detailed report and many photos of my cat when I was away which was sooo sweet and unexpected. I highly recommend Mable and I will definitely be booking with her again.
Mahaam is very responsive and responsible. She has taken care of my cats on two different occasions. The first was during a 16 day trip and the second time a long weekend. I had to add a day due to flight challenges and she was very willing to help. She sent photos and plays with the animals. She is a treasure!
