“Kathleen took great care of our senior cat and our home. She navigated some technical challenges with our alarm system with professionalism and good humor. Highly recommend. Will definitely re-book.”

“Sierra did a great job dogsitting my senior dog and housesitting while I was out of town for a long weekend! She sent updates and pictures, which was very reassuring!”
“Ned is a real professional! He took great care of our two cats, dog and our home with lots of TLC. Very consistent, communicative, and reliable. Ned went above and beyond in so many ways.”

“We loved having Pre stay at our home with our goldendoodle. He was happy and relaxed with her -- he even ate! We can't wait to have her hang out with Eddie again!”

“Naya handled all my dog could throw at someone new - from pooping in his crate to trucking her into extra play time outside, naya handled it all perfectly. When I got home, I literally had to reassure my fiance someone did take care of juicy- she left the house with no trace she was here, she only left behind a happy well loved pup! Will be booking naya again!”

“Sophia is incredible! She accepted my last minute booking and was very attentive and communicative. She cared for Lucy like she was her own. She took care of my home and sent me pictures and updates throughout the day. I will absolutely be booking her again!”

“Lydia took amazing care of our dog (and also our house). She truly went above and beyond to keep Basil happy and loved on (especially when Basil unexpectedly had an upset tummy, Lydia slept on the couch instead of the guest bed so she could be close to Basil in her crate in case she needed anything). Her photos and updates were thoughtful and even with the worry that comes with a pet not feeling their best, at no point was I anxious about the care she was getting. We highly recommend Lydia!”

“Rhiannon was amazing!! She was so sweet with my cat and sent so many updates and was very responsible. I felt very comfortable knowing she was staying at my home and watching my cat and I would 100% have her come back. Highly recommend!”

“Our sweet rescue pup has been through a lot and we are very grateful to Natalie for the care and patience she had. I would hire Natalie again in a heartbeat.”

“Maria has taken care of our dog and cat twice now and is great. Our dog is epileptic and takes a lot of meds, and Maria handles it like a champ and Buruu (the dog) loves her. Can’t recommend her more.”

“Channing cared for my dog for 11 days. She not only fed, walked and spent time with him, but also took him to a local park to play, and slept overnight at my apt as her schedule allowed. I knew he was in great hands, and she even took in my mail. Thank-you & woof woof Channing!”

“Asia took great care of our pup, Juniper, as well as our house. She was really helpful and responsive to our messages. Our flights kept changing and Asia was flexible and made sure Juniper wouldn’t be left alone too long waiting, especially while there were thunderstorms (which scare Juniper). We came home to a happy healthy pup!”


“We couldn’t be happier with the care Ivan provided for our pups and cat! He was absolutely outstanding—thoughtful, reliable, and clearly loves animals. He kept us fully up to date throughout our time away, sending lots of pictures and regular updates that gave us total peace of mind. Our pets were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we returned. We will definitely use Ivan’s services again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional pet sitting.”


About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 30 years and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, personalities, and care needs. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes very naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve looked after everything from energetic dogs who love adventure and playtime to senior pets who need a gentler pace, extra patience, and close attention to routines and comfort. I also previously owned and operated my own pet sitting business for several years, where I built trusted relationships with pet owners and provided dependable in-home care for their pets and houses. I eventually closed the business to help my sister run her company full time, but I never stopped pet sitting. Since then, I’ve continued caring for pets on the side because it’s something I genuinely love and find deeply fulfilling. My experience includes daily walks, feeding schedules, administering medications, overnight care, companionship, litter box maintenance, basic grooming support, and maintaining consistent routines to help pets feel secure while their owners are away. I understand how important communication and trust are, so I always aim to provide thoughtful updates and attentive care that gives owners real peace of mind. Along with pet care, I’m highly respectful of people’s homes and take pride in leaving spaces clean, organized, and well cared for. I’m dependable, communicative, calm under pressure, and genuinely attentive to the little details that make a difference. For me, great pet sitting is about creating a safe, loving, low stress environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for until their people return. "Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened." Anatole France I work remotely full-time, which allows me to provide pets with lots of companionship, supervision, and consistency throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, so I’m able to accommodate walks, feeding routines, playtime, medications, and cuddle breaks as needed. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so I naturally build pet care into my daily routine rather than treating it like a task to check off. I have over 30 years of experience caring for animals and previously owned my own pet sitting business, so safety, communication, and trust are extremely important to me. I’m very attentive to routines, behavior changes, medications, and household instructions, and I always aim to create a calm, loving, low-stress environment for pets while their owners are away. I treat every home with respect and care, keep spaces clean and secure, and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
“Zoe was amazing! We were very nervous in introducing our newest dog as this would've been the first time we left the two dogs together at home. Zoe, was prompt, attentive and the dogs warmed up right away. Highly recommend Zoe to the Rover community.”

“Taya did such an amazing job watching our new rescue Boh, who’s a lot to handle right now. And Rico our little elderly gentleman- two totally different dogs at once. THE BEST PART was she stayed overnight with them, neither dog has ever been left alone so I was so appreciative she did that for us. All instructions were followed meticulously and we have already rebooked her for a trip when we are out of the country in 30 days. 10/10 would recommend her all day as your go to pet guru.”

“Emily is great! She sent continual updates and pictures throughout her time house sitting. It was clear that besides regular walks she also spent lots of time hanging out and cuddling with my dog, who is very affectionate and needs the attention. Would definitely book again!”

Charles Village pet parents share their Rover experiences
SJ is outstanding. He goes above and beyond. I had not been away in 6 months and SJ stayed overnight with Julietta and I knew that he would talk with her , engage her. I was updated with photos and reports and was certain that SJ was able to handle anything that required maturity and experience.

Catherine is a wonderful sitter who always takes great care of my pets, and she goes above and beyond. Whenever something comes up, whether it be one of my pet's quirks, or a last minute travel plan emergency, she takes it in her stride and comes through! Reliable and kind with animals, cannot recommend enough :)

Kathleen stayed with our pets for a long weekend - a dog (often reactive to other dogs) and 2 indoor cats. Everything went very smoothly. We were kept informed with texts and pictures and none of the pets looked like they missed us AT ALL!! The dog even slept with Kathleen one night. When we got home, it was apparent Kathleen had cleaned up our house, leaving us very little to do which was a hugely welcome gift from her. We definitely will book with Kathleen again.

Jenna was fantastic and very communicative throughout the entire process. They stayed with our cat Zeppelin and we could tell that he had a great time and was very well cared for when we got back. Picture updates, even watered out garden, we couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you Jenna!!

We rank Zach as #1 for housesitting, dog and cat care. Absolutely prefect! Even our reactive dogs immediately felt comfortable with him. They were instantly comfortable and warm. When we came home, they had zero signs of stress, just relaxed happiness. Our cat usually won't come out for visitors at all, just hides in the basement. She was out purring around Zach almost immediately. Must be an aura of something. Great, twice daily communication. 100% reliable. Incredible value for money. We're booking him for our next trip away right now!
