About: I’ve had the joy of caring for two dogs and one cat throughout my life, each with their own unique personality and needs. My dog, Wally, has medical issues that require daily medication, so I’m comfortable handling that kind of responsibility with care and attention. My experience includes feeding, bathing, walking, playing, and creating a safe, loving environment for both dogs and cats. What sets me apart is my lifelong love for animals and my firsthand experience as a dedicated pet owner. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal like my own—with patience, respect, and lots of affection. Whether your pet is active and playful or prefers a quiet cuddle, I’m happy to adapt to their needs. Right now, I have a very open and flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I don’t have a rigid routine and can easily adapt to your pet’s needs, whether that means early morning walks, midday visits, or overnight stays. I’m able to provide consistent care and companionship without distractions, and I love being able to focus fully on making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. My goal is always to stick as closely as possible to your pet’s usual routine so they feel comfortable while you're away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the animals and the space with the utmost respect. I always follow the pet’s usual routine closely (feeding, walks, medication, and playtime) to help them feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I’m a very clean and tidy person, and I always leave the home exactly as I found it. I make sure not to disturb anything unnecessarily and take care to clean up after both myself and the pet. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and a home that looks untouched, just the way you left it!
“Jen took me on last minute and has been so accompanying to my needs! She took my dog on a long walk and sent pictures throughout the day. House looked just as I left it when I came back. I can’t recommend her enough!!”
“Shereen was outstanding! She was sitting for our high-energy pup and elderly cat in our home for the weekend. She is incredibly compassionate, smart, and responsible. We received numerous updates which made us so happy that our pets were having such a good time! They were in great hands, and our house was, too. Having her stay in our house and take care of them allowed us to relax when we were across the country - truly a gift. Highly recommend Shereen!”
“Sade quickly became our two dogs best friend!! She was so great with the dogs, followed all of our instructions, took great care of the house, and had great communication and photos. What more could you ask for?! Would highly recommend working with her and we’ve already re-booked with her because she’s so great!”
“Highly recommend Kylee! She is very friendly, organized, reliable and took wonderful care of our three dogs while we were out of town. Kylee sent us a few updates daily and sent pictures to give us peace of mind. The house was also kept nice and neat! We look forward to having Kylee housesit in the future!”
“Andrea was very professional and also clearly likes animals. She was very clear with me about what she would do and when. I would hire her again. Great job!”
“I knew Pamela would be a great house sitter for my dog Ruby when we first met. She focused first on Ruby - making a connection and understanding her routine. Pamela sent frequent updates and pictures. I came home to a happy dog and a home well taken care of.”
“Daniel took great care of our dog (and home) while we were away. He was flexible and communicative when there was a 12+ hr power outage, and went great lengths to ensure our dog was taken care of during these unforseen circumstances. We arrived home to a happy and healthy dog. Teddy looks forward to his next "Boy's Weekend" with Daniel!”
“Sarah was wonderful. We lost power and she reached out and while I tried to get the power on ASAP, she refused to abandon the dogs even when I told her I understood if she wanted to sleep somewhere else with A/C. I would 100% use her again”

Douglas Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Lauren did a terrific job caring for our dog. She was super responsive, responsible and I would absolutely hire her again in a second.
Titus always loves his stays with Angie - we can tell from the smiling pics! We always trust leaving him in her care, she does a wonderful job of keeping us updated and following his care instructions.
Kay is a wonderful sitter whom we totally trust to stay in our home, and take care of our precious pup and cat. Shes communicative, extremely clean and very dependable. We love having Kay!!
Sarah once again did an amazing job caring for Barkley. She was very responsive and sent pictures throughout her stay. Couldn’t recommend her more!
Grace was such a wonderful sitter. She put our nervous dog at ease, and was so flexible in the midst of cancelled flights and fluctuating travel.
Vanessa did a great job of dog sitting our two anxious dogs while on vacation. She sent regular updates including photos and videos. I felt comforted knowing our fur babies were in her caring and attentive hands.
Yiting was the most attentive and thoughtful I’ve found in my area! She was very communicative throughout the entire time and I gave her specific instructions which she followed to the letter. Even more important, my dog seemed comfortable and had all the playtime he needed while I was gone. Highly recommend
Madison was AWESOME with both of our pups! We were out of state for our wedding, which was already stressful, but thanks to Madison, there was no extra stress for us or our pups! She sent daily updates/photos & both of our pups loved soaking up all the snuggles with her. She cleaned/tidied up our home prior to leaving and left it exactly the way (if not better) than we left it. We will definitely book Madison again for our next trip!
Kate is a lovely and reliable sitter who really cares. She stayed at my place with my little bichon for several days. She kept me posted in a daily basis and sent pictures, she even find a way to keep my bichon’s furry impecable!
Julia did an absolutely amazing job with my senior dog. She was very kind and sweet to my baby. I would definitely use her as a sitter again.
Patrick took good care of my boy. My dog can be a handful with strangers but it sounds like everything went well. Patrick is very communicative, thorough, and experienced. I will definitely be asking him to watch my dog next time I’m out of the area!
Jen was great with my 1 year old lab! This was my first time leaving him so I was quite nervous (as was he)! She was very patient with him while he adjusted and helped make him feel secure and comfortable in my absence. By the end of her stay, they were besties! Thank you, Jen!
We really appreciated Nicole staying at our house to watch our pups, especially over the holiday. We would definitely book with her again!
I’m so grateful for Jordie! She took the best care of my cat while I was away on a multi-day trip. I really appreciated all of the photos and consistent updates she provided. I hope to work with her again in the near future!
Truffle had a blast yet again! We really appreciated the videos of our pup’s adventures. Titi also got some cuddle time during the stay. The house was very clean when we got home and Renee even mowed the grass. Thank you for taking great care of our furry friends
Nicole just doesn’t hug, snuggle and care for our furry ones, she watches the house and is attentive to all facets of our home and property. Izzy already misses her! BooBoo nonplused😀
Laura was fantastic, she was extremely flexible and took amazing care of my young kitten. She also provided helpful tips since I am a super new cat owner! Will definitely book with her again since my kitten loved her!
Danny took care of my dog and home for a week while I was on vacation, and did a wonderful job with both. He's a great communicator and a kind, conscientious pet buddy. He even vacuumed and washed the sheets before he left! I highly recommend this sitter.
Marie was absolutely amazing!! She sent us plenty of updates, took care of everything, and was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish!
Iuliia Watched our two boys at our home while we were on vacation. It was our first time using her and at our meet and greet both dogs gravitated to her so quickly. The dogs seemed very at ease when we got home and the house was exactly how we left it. She sent regular updates on both boys and tended to some of the specific needs of our elderly dog. We would definitely love to use her again.
