“Tracy was so great with meeting my pup! She spent so much time and careful questioning to make sure she had all of the necessary information to take care of him. I feel very, very confident in recommending her to others.”

“Josephine is excellent, very reliable and caring. She sent me detailed reports and photos every day, so I could relax knowing my dog and cat were in good hands while I was away.”

I also have experience as a pet owner, I grew up with dogs my entire life, at one time we had a pack of 8. My goal is to ease your pet’s anxiety when their favorite person is not there. I will work to make sure your pet has the structure they need, the enrichment they crave, and the love they deserve. I do work full time Monday -Friday 8am-5pm so I am free on weekends and happy to stay with the animals when I’m not working. I can also check in on my lunch hour to ensure they have the restroom breaks they need and the enrichment time. I am very attentive when I am caring for you furry family members. I make sure that they have fresh water and get fed at the correct times. I always send photo updates each time the pets go outside or eat. I am very flexible with what is required if you’re able to be flexible and understanding of my work schedule.

About: With years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I offer a loving and fun environment for your pets. I understand cats need a clean space, so I'm dedicated to keeping their litter box fresh. I'm also great at keeping dogs active and happy with lots of walks and play! I have open availability Monday through Friday and can be flexible to fit your pet’s routine. I’m available for dog walks and cat drop-ins throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I do my best to accommodate consistent schedules as well as occasional or short-notice requests. I focus on keeping pets safe and comfortable in their own home and routine. During dog walks, I use secure leashing, stay aware of our surroundings, and tailor each walk to the dog’s energy level and needs. For cat drop-ins, I respect each cat’s personality and boundaries while making sure they’re fed, have fresh water, clean litter, and get attention or playtime if they want it. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pets are safe and cared for

About: I have been taking care of friends, family members animals for over 2 years now while attending college. I love giving care to their furry friends while they are away. Having animals myself I understand the need to have a trustworthy caretaker while away! I look forward to become your pets new friend! I currently work 30/32 hours a week usually during the early mornings or mid afternoons. I have usually offered early morning walks or evening walks to those in need! I am able to do overnights as well, but always check to make sure the animals will be okay while I work! I have always tried to take care of the pets in the exact way the client has asked. I am able to sit in during meals, stay to get energy out, or even squirrel watch! I always try to make the animals stay in the routine that they have known!
“I needed someone to check in on my cats every few days while I was away on a long trip. Samantha was so kind and did exactly that. She even stopped by beforehand to meet everyone and get a tour. I also loved the photos she shared with me from her visits, they were wonderful and very reassuring that everyone was doing okay.”
“Dakota went above and beyond while we were away! He was communicative and was wonderful to the dogs! Most certainly would love to have him come again!”

“Lauren was friendly, communicative, punctual, and connected well with our dog. I will definitely rely on her again for my dog's care when we have to be away from home!”

“Kirtly was absolutely fabulous with letting our puppy ember out! Ember got all her energy out and was so happy when I got home every day. Will definitely use again!!”

“Megan is very professional and caring. My cats warmed up to her quickly, and she took daily photos to send with her daily updates. I am 100% pleased and will call on her again.”

About: I’ve owned many dogs over my lifetime. From a Min Pin to Collies, Retrievers and Pointers. I have taken care of friends and relatives animals while they were out of town. I have done long time sits (several weeks) to daily drop ins. I’m retired so I have lots of time to care for your pets. I love taking walks and getting to know each animal whether it’s to come hang out and play, feed etc or take for long or short walks. I don’t have any dogs or cats living with me now due to my landlord not allowing pet ownership. They don’t mind if I bring a dog here for short periods.
Downtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
I had a great experience and would absolutely book again. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and it gave me peace of mind knowing Theo was being well cared for while I was away. I appreciated the updates, photos, and attention to detail throughout each visit. It’s clear they genuinely care about the pets they look after. Thank you for taking such great care of Theo. I look forward to booking with you again in the future!

Kris is an extremely reliable and flexible pet caretaker. Travel is often stressful, but one thing I never worry about while I’m gone is my two cats. Kris takes excellent care of them, including giving medication twice a day. She also is very detailed in her Rover cards. Also, Kris is some kind of cat whisperer — she take the most adorable photos when she does check-ins. My one cat is a goblin but when I see her photos of him, he looks so cute I almost forget what an utter demon he is.

Hollister did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of my kitties while I was away. She was reliable, punctual, and communicated exceptionally well throughout the entire process and visits. I loved receiving her detailed updates and excellent pictures, which brought me so much peace of mind while traveling. She followed all instructions carefully, including medication administration, and was very attentive to each of my cats and their needs. She kept their food, water, and litter area clean and clearly took great pride in providing excellent care. Hollister truly went above and beyond and treated my cats as if they were her own. Being away from them, knowing they were in such capable and caring hands, made the experience much easier. I strongly recommend Hollister to anyone looking for a compassionate person to care for their fur babies.

Mackenzie is the best!! So flexible and communicative. She's been patient with getting to know our very shy cat, who is now really comfortable around her and doesn't get stressed anymore when we're away (which is a big deal!). We so appreciate Mackenzie, and how she really does take care of our cat like she's her own.

Mitch has cared for my dog multiple times and is always amazing. This time we were gone for a whole week. His communication was top notch as always, and he went above and beyond to ensure she was well cared for. I plan to continue booking with him moving forward.
