Pet Sitting Downer Woods

“This was our first booking with Carrianne. She was great! She asked good clarifying questions during our meet and greet to make sure she fully understood how to care for our kitty, and was reliable and timely during the booking. We fully trusted her to take care of our anxious cat. We would love to book with her in the future!”

“Ilene was fantastic and went above and beyond my expectations which is so greatly appreciated! Ilene’s communication and timeliness is perfect and even provided me with adorable pics & videos of playtime with Rozz which warmed my heart while I was away. Ilene’s love and care for animals is exactly what I was looking for. I highly recommend Ilene for any of your pet care needs!”

About: I have been a private walker in the past and I am joining rover to be part of a larger platform. I grew up with dogs of all kinds and love meeting new furry friends! I currently have a full-time job and I am available for pet care from 6-7:30am and after 4:30pm. I have lots of flexibility and availability on the weekends as well! I currently live in an apartment with two cats. I am happy to come to the pets home and help with whatever care is needed.

“Katie was an awesome sitter for our kitty! She and Winnie hit it off right away at their preliminary meeting. While we were out of town, Katie was prompt with her visits and thorough with her notes, and she sent lots of clear, high-quality photos. We highly recommend her services!”

About: I grew up with two cats and two dogs, so I’ve been around pets for most of my life! I got my own dog five years ago, and I have been taking care of her ever since. I love any and all types of pets, and I have am flexible with times and can accommodate mamy different schedules. Along with taking care of my own dog, I am available throughout the day to stop in and check on/walk dogs. I am also available any day to stay over as a sitter. My one and only priority would be taking care of your pet. I would never be intrusive or inappropriate in your home. I would treat it with the respect I would want from a sitter.

“Really appreciate Travis watching the pets, even when it was so cold! He does such a great job with the cats. Even our most skittish cat seems so comfortable and relaxed in the photos.”

About: From family pets, growing up on a farm, pet sitting in college, to multiple years taking care of animal ambassadors as a naturalist, I've been working with and caring for critters of all sorts for nearly as long as I can remember! For critters in the pet category, I have been caring for indoor cats since 2018, from kittens to seniors and every stage in between, including administering medications. My family has had medium/large dogs (rottweilers, labs, and border collie and boxer mixes) my whole life but I have also pet sat for smaller breeds like Boston terriers and cavalier king Charles spaniels. My time as a naturalist gave me experience working with not only varied species, but varied personalities. From grumpy skunks to mischievous snakes and dramatic birds, I have extensive experience across the gambit. It also provided experience with very specific care instructions and detailed documentation. I like to provide pet parents with a thorough summary of my time with their pet so they don't have to worry while they're away. My schedule varies week to week from periods of no availability to periods of open availability, I will make sure to keep things updated so you know what to expect! In fall of 2025, I finished my 2,200+ mile thru hike of the Appalachian Trail. What does that mean for pet care? I LOVE to walk and do so whenever I get the chance! I would love to have your pet join me! I am very detail oriented and will follow your care instructions to a T! I also provide my pet parents a detailed summary of my visit for peace of mind, every time!

“Jessica took great care of my cat! It was clear from the daily cards that my cat warmed up to her quickly, and they spent good quality time snuggling and playing together.”

“I can’t say it enough! Carole is an absolute dream! Miss Oaklei hurt her leg and she was so sensitive to the issue. She even got so excited when Oaklei was starting to show signs of improvement! She is AMAZING!!”

Whitney P.

“Emily was quick and responsive to a last minute drop in request. She provided a thorough note after her visit letting me know how they spent their time and my pup’s behavior and mood. I appreciate her being so responsive and thorough!”

“Melissa was very attentive to my cats while I was away for a week! She administered their medication, played with them, and made sure they were happy as can be :) Highly recommend!”

“Hope is the best. I have an old cat with lots of special needs making it hard to leave him alone but Hope was super communicative, caring and made me feel comfortable that he was in good hands.”

Becky M.

“Jessica was great! Very responsive and communicative and appreciated how timely her visits were. Our cats seemed to be very happy having her drop in too and we loved all the photos 😊”

“Abigail was awesome! This was my first time using rover and she made sure everything went smoothly. She took excellent care of my cats and sent me detailed updates on how they were doing. I will be booking again in the future :)”

About: I grew up in a family that raised guide dogs for the blind, which gave me experience caring for dogs of all types of personalities. I've also looked after pets for friends and family and I always enjoy spending time with animals. I'm home from college for the summer and have a very flexible schedule with availability most days. Aside from a daily gym visit, I have plenty of time to give pets the attention and care they deserve. I care for pets by following their usual routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, fresh water, and plenty of attention. I'll also follow any specific care instructions and provide updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

“These reviews are tough to give because I’m not actually home to evaluate the individual watching my cute pupper. However, positive things I really enjoyed about Elizabeth is that she stayed in touch throughout the day, sent pictures, and arrived at the times we discussed ?. My pup when I got home seemed happy and safe ?. Would use her again for sure!”

“Jessica did a great job running energy off our active Australian Shepherd. She was content when we got home. PLUS she took an amazing picture of Maisy playing tetherball!!”
