“Kristina was amazing! Maisey is a big girl with a lot of energy and a decent amount of leash reactivity. Kristina kept her entertained and had no problem taking her out on long walks! She sent lots of pictures and updates, helped take in packages that were delivered and even helped fix my loose doorknob!! Would absolutely hire Kristina again in the future!”



“Matt's a sweet heart and took great care of my pups when he stayed at our house. Pups loved him, and he's super trust worthy. Have already told friends about him and will be using Matt again and again for our pups :) Thanks Matt!!”


“Paullette is among the best individuals we’ve had watch Hank and our home. She’s gone above and beyond and the place is left in better shape than we left it. Highly highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone to take excellent care of your pet while you’re out.”


“Brittany was great! She followed instructions perfectly and my cat and dog both seemed really comfortable around her. I came home to a nice clean apartment. Would definitely book again!”


“Highly Highly Recommended! 5 Star Care All the Way!!! Our Aussie got amazing attention during our vacation. Received many photos, texts, updates - Sukufe is super thoughtful and attentive. She stayed in our home and even created and left us a beautiful flower arrangement. She demonstrated being quite the animal whisperer and our dog appeared happy and unaware that we were even gone! We will re-book with her!!!”


“Flo (Shakiba) is such an amazing dog sitter and I felt so comfortable leaving Onyx in her care for 1.5 weeks. She is very communicative, professional, and you can tell she really loves and cares for animals! Onyx was well exercised, tired and very happy when I got home from vacation. I can tell they had a really great time! She made sure to send daily pictures and updates so I was looped in just the right amount. Would definitely book with her again in the future!”


“Anita was a wonderful sitter for our larger Alaskan Malamute, Smokey. It was obvious during our meet & greet that Anita forms wonderful connections with furry friends and so we were very comfortable leaving Smokey with Anita for our time away especially considering that we would not have any cellular connection. Smokey was at ease upon our return and Anita not only took great care of our furry son but also our home. We would welcome Anita back into our home in a heartbeat and can’t thank her enough for a wonderful first time sit through Rover.”


“Marlee was absolutely AMAZING! She was on time down to the minute, very sweet and understanding despite Chloe being shy at first. She was patient and listened to all instructions to a T. Excited to have her back in my home to take care of my pets.”


“KayMaria was so loving and attentive to my cat Mac. Mac had eaten some ribbon and seemed mostly fine but needed close monitoring in case she started to show signs of distress. KayMaria gave her undivided attention for the twelve hours or so I was out of the house. Mac is cautious around strangers but instantly warmed up to KayMaria. I'll definitely book with KayMaria when I need another catsitter!”


“Danielle was great! She took fantastic care of my anxious girl when I was off on a trip. They become super fast friends and she was very patient with her picky eating habits. The communication was great throughout. I came back to a happy dog and a clean house! Would highly recommend and definitely hire again.”


About: Hi, I’m Francisco – a lifelong dog lover and your pup’s next best friend! 🐶🐾 What sets me apart? I genuinely love spending time with dogs. I’ve owned two amazing pups of my own and have often helped friends care for theirs—whether that means walks, overnight stays, or just keeping them company. I’m doing this because I truly enjoy it. Helping folks around the city who need an extra hand now and then feels like a great way to combine my love for animals with giving back to the community. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and temperaments, and I always focus on making them feel safe, loved, and happy. Whether it’s playtime or a peaceful stroll, your dog will be in great hands—and I’ll send plenty of photo updates too! Pet care fits really naturally into my routine! I work from home several days a week, which gives me the flexibility to take dogs out for walks, give them attention throughout the day, and keep them company. I also don’t work on weekends, so I’m fully available then for more hands-on care, longer stays, or extra playtime. Whether it’s a weekday walk or a full weekend of snuggles and fetch, I’ve got the time and energy to give your pet the attention they deserve! In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with plenty of space for your pup to relax, plus access to an on-site dog run—perfect for playtime and potty breaks. I’m also just a few blocks away from a great park, which makes for fun, enriching walks and outdoor time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do everything I can to stick to their routine so they feel comfortable and secure in their own space. Whether at my place or yours, your dog will get lots of love, attention, and care—plus plenty of updates so you always know how they’re doing!

“Kelli was a great cat sitter who stayed with our cat for 2 nights. She sent lots of photos and updates as well as helping give him meds he needed, which was super helpful. Highly recommend.”


“Elric is a gem of a sitter. He took great care of my dog while I was away for the weekend. I’m extremely clean, and my house was kept in the same condition I left it in. So nice to come home to a tidy house and a happy dog. He even took out the garbage. Friendly and easy to talk to, Elric sent photos daily and made me feel very comfortable having him house sit. Will book again!”


“Bri and Raj are excellent! Very friendly and accommodating to our two doggies’ needs, who can easily be a handful (one is young and full of energy and the other is older and not always dog-friendly) but were a breeze for Bri and Raj. Will definitely be booking with them again and would highly recommend them to others!”

Francisco O.
“I can't recommend Francisco highly enough as a pet sitter. He has looked after my dog, Henry, several times, and every experience has been nothing short of amazing. From the moment they met, it was clear that Francisco has a natural connection with animals—Henry took to him right away, which is rare! Francisco has a calm, caring presence that makes pets feel safe and loved. He’s incredibly responsible, attentive to detail, and genuinely passionate about animals. When Henry is with Francisco, I have total peace of mind knowing he’s in great hands—whether it’s going on long walks, playing in the yard, or just cuddling on the couch. It’s not just about feeding and walking—Francisco goes the extra mile to make sure your pet feels at home, cared for, and happy. If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own, Francisco is the one. He’s a true dog lover and a trustworthy, kind-hearted person. I feel lucky to have him as someone I can rely on to care for Henry, and your pets will be lucky too.”

Chinatown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Angela was nice, professional and communicative, she took my dog penny on a lot of great outings and helped recommend a new litter for my cat! I felt very good about having Angela in my house and taking care of the pets! She was flexible with arrival and departure times and i plan on hiring her again very soon.

Very grateful to have J dog/housesit for us again. We received regular updates and clear communication. J is so thoughtful and I’m convinced the apartment looks better than when we left it! I felt very much at ease knowing that they were looking after our place.

Nathalie did a fantastic job! The kitties were happy and ignored me when I came home (ie they had play and affection while I was away and were not asking for attention). The place was clean and everything was well-looked after. Nathalie is a polite and responsive. I’ll def use her again and recommend her!

Josh is by far our favorite pet sitter! Responsive, thoughtful and he always goes above and beyond. Josh takes the time to make sure all of our pets are cared for, cuddled and entertained. Every time Josh house sits he sends lots of updates and pictures and leaves everything cleaner than he found it. If you’re looking for someone to treat your pets with as much love as you do, Josh is your guy!

Maggie was wonderful with our dog and cat. She was perfectly communicative (we loved her updates!) and they both seemed happy and cheerful with her. We’re especially grateful that she was able to skillfully take care of our dog when she was having some G.I. troubles—Maggie took extra care with our dog’s diet and walks. Will definitely be booking her again, thank you Maggie!
Ilgas was an amazing sitter! My friend referred her to me and she did a great job. She was punctual, easy to communicate with, and respectful. I had to book last minute due to a family emergency and she worked around my schedule to come over fast and get up to speed with my dog and my house. Beignet has a lot of energy so Ilgas had to take him out several times, but I could tell she genuinely loves dogs and was happy to have him around. I felt totally safe leaving my dog with her and appreciated the quick response times when I checked in. Would definitely book again and recommend to friends.

Shanna was amazing! Maisey is a big high energy girl with reactivity and separation anxiety which can make it challenging for someone new to stay with her. Shanna was not phased by Maisey’s extra needs or her big personality. She sent tons of pictures and updates, really cued into my Maisey specific routines/ instructions and made me feel incredibly comfortable being on the other side of the country for a week! Would 100 percent recommend Shanna and looking forward to having her come again in the future!

Jillian is amazing!!! She took such great care of Ellie. Went above and beyond taking her to the beach and on hikes. Sent wonderful pictures & followed all of my instructions. I can tell Ellie loved her and I would absolutely love to have Jillian watch her again!!

Maria was awesome! Our pup, Luna, barks and lunges at other dogs on walks and will chew on our couch if the pillows aren't picked up when not in use. Maria was excellent at handling all of that. Thoughtful and attentive and reached out to us about a part of our directions that were unclear and we had forgotten to update. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.
