“Fantastic pet sitter. She was able to help me when I needed pet care for a family emergency. Very attentive to details and sent messages, photos.”
About: I've been taking care of animals (both cats and dogs) since childhood! Family pets are near and dear to my heart. I can provide quality care for your furry friends and provide prompt updates and photos when you are away from them. I have experience working with both cats and dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m currently working part-time before starting medical school, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to offer dependable drop-in visits on both weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routine and make sure they feel cared for and comfortable while you're away. I care for pets in their own homes where they feel most comfortable. I offer reliable transportation to reach your home and can transport pets if needed. During drop-in visits, I provide loving attention, fresh food and water, playtime, and prompt updates with photos to keep you at ease. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and routine are always my priority.
“Thank you so much for taking great care of Rosco! He always barks after you leave so i know he likes your company! And i know he’s in great care when he’s with you!”
About: I’ve been around pets my whole life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Growing up, my family had a pit bull named Thiago and a small dog named Maya, both of whom taught me how to love and understand dogs with different personalities and needs. After getting married, my husband and I welcomed a Labrador named Apollo into our lives, and more recently, we added Cookie, our second puppy, after moving to the United States. Since it’s just the two of us here, Cookie has become more than a pet—she’s our emotional support and part of our family. My experience with dogs of various sizes and temperaments has helped me develop a deep sense of responsibility and compassion when it comes to pet care. I currently work a part-time job, which gives me plenty of flexibility in my schedule. At home, we have a daily routine with our puppy, Cookie—we take her out in the morning and around midday for potty breaks, and then again around 6:30 PM for a longer walk where she can play and have some fun. On weekends, we love taking her to the dog park so she can run around and socialize. I have open availability and can easily adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs, whether that means walks, playtime, or just some good company. We live in a pet-friendly apartment complex near Citation Boulevard, a calm and safe area for daily walks. Our puppy, Cookie, is always walked on a leash to ensure her safety, and we’re very mindful of keeping her away from anything that could pose a risk. Her vaccinations are all up to date, and she’s regularly treated with Bravecto to protect against ticks and fleas. Your pet’s health and safety are very important to me, and I’m committed to providing a clean, secure, and loving environment at all times.
About: Since I was 15, I have taken care of neighbors pets and my own! I have had chickens, fish, hamsters, dogs, and currently have a cat of my own! I am available this whole month! I do have another job so I will need to know in advanced when I’m needed! I should be available most days. I am very respectful towards homes and would never leave it without making sure it’s tidy and clean up any accidents that could happen, I also am very communicative!

Douglas Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
I had an excellent first experience hiring Tiffany to look after my cats while I was out of town. When Tiffany came by for a meet and greet, I could tell that she truly understands cats and their unique needs. Tiffany was communicative, arrived on time for drop-ins, and shared thoughtful and informative updates.
We’ve never had anyone new come in to watch our dogs before, so this was a brand-new experience for us (and for our pups!). Alex and Martha met with our three crazy fluffs the day before we went out of town, and they were wonderful with them right from the start. While one of our dogs (by her own nature) was a little hesitant when Alex came in during our trip, he went above and beyond to comfort and reassure her. We truly appreciated their care and attention, and we’ll most definitely be working with them again in the future!
Katherine really helped me out by stepping in last minute to check on my kitten and was so easy to work with. She confirmed all the relevant details, asked good questions, played with my little guy during her visit and made sure everything was in good order before leaving. Can’t thank you enough, Katherine!!
Ashleigh is fantastic! She was super helpful and understanding of any and all quirks and gave me significant peace of mind while I was out of town. She also provided great visit summaries and pictures! I will definitely book her again when I need someone to watch my kitties!
Kimee is amazing. I knew I would love her the first time I talked to her about meeting and taking care of Roo. She was great at communicating and always made me feel reassured Roo was taken care of. She would send lots of pictures and updates when she took care of her. I would recommend her to anyone. She is great.
ReeCee immediately felt comfortable with Alexus. Alexus came as agreed. She provided pictures of her walking and playing with my pup. She gave me updates as to eating, snacking, etc. Alexus agreed to be available for another visit should we not get home at the planned time. All was good when we arrived. ReeCee was very happy. Thank you, Alexus.
Matthew did an amazing job checking in on our dog, Wrigley! He was attentive, reliable, and made sure Wrigley got plenty of playtime and attention. It’s clear he truly cares about animals, and we felt completely at ease knowing Wrigley was in such good hands. Matthew is very trustworthy, and we would absolutely ask him to help again in the future. Highly recommend!
