“Agustina was fantastic with my cat Butter. She administered eyedrops, pills, and an oral syringe full of liquid supplements that Butter needs to take. She was communicative, responsive, and very eager to learn about the needs of my cat and myself!”


“Krystal is the best! She always gets the cutest photos of my cat Zuko to send to me. Leaving my cat to go on trips can be hard but I’m comforted knowing Krystal is checking up on him!”


“Kimmeth is the absolute best! Treats my two cat babies like they’re her own! Her updates and photos leave me with so much peace and so grateful she’s there! Thank you Kimmeth!!!”


“Robin was punctual, followed our instructions, and spent the allotted time as promised with our dog. We look forward to using Robin again for future drop-ins.”


“Estefania has cared for my boys several times and is wonderful with updates and making sure they are great while I'm away. I highly recommend and will continue booking her services!”


“Abby was just so great with mochi! She played ball with her and spent a nice amount of time with her and took her on a great walk! I’m so happy that we found her and looking forward to more visits! Thanks again for everything Abby!”


“Alyssa has been amazing with our one year old German Shepherd. He’s very sensitive and needs some patience, TLC, and understanding. Alyssa has a calming energy matched with leadership and good animal intuition that our GSD has responded remarkably quickly to. Alyssa came over for a meet n greet - took the time to learn his quirks, training, and personality then came over again for a one on one walk. Our GSD runs away, barks, and hides when new people try to clip his leash but she sent a pic twenty minutes later on a walk with him. We were not only impressed with her care, demeanor, and skill but also extremely grateful/relieved to have found a sitter like Alyssa. Highly recommend her for all dog sitting needs and breeds!”


“We had to leave our babies for a few hours and Vadim did a Drop-in + walk. Wata, Pancetta and us are so grateful for him 🙏🏼, thank you for taking care of them!”


“I am super blessed that I found Dawn! She takes care of my cat in the best way possible and also gives her medicine that my cat is on! Dawn is the best!”

“This was Cherie’s second time watching our cat Polly and didn’t think her first go around could be better until it was this time. Her reliability is unmatched and is totally and completely loving and caring for our cat. Really appreciate how much she cares for Polly and Polly feels the same!”


About: I’ve had my dog for almost 7 years and now have two dogs. I grew up with dogs and they are my passion. Im a nurse getting my masters and have some time to take care of other fur babies. I am committed to taking care of all types of dogs of all ages. I currently have some weeks off of clinical rotations so I am home most of the time. Afterwards I will be gone about 2x a week. I live in an apartment, but I take my dogs out on regular walks every few hours. I do not crate train my dogs and they are allowed to go on furniture.

“Sabina loved Nicole from the meet and greet! I got lots of pictures from the drop-ins and Nicole was super communicative. I also really appreciated her making sure everything was clean before I got home!”


About: I’ve always had a natural connection with animals and truly treat every pet like my own. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their dogs and cats—even the shy or high-energy ones! I’m patient, reliable, and I always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away. Whether it’s giving belly rubs, administering food on schedule, or sending you cute photo updates, I go the extra mile to make both pets and owners feel at ease. I currently work full-time on weekdays, but I have both weekend days completely free. I’m available all day Saturday and Sunday for walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting. I always create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment—whether in my home or yours. I follow all care instructions, keep pets secure, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and stress-free. I respect routines, provide regular potty breaks, and give constant supervision during playtime and feeding. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities.

About: Hey there, we are Rod & Ros! We both had pets our whole lives, both of our grandparents are veterinarians, so we grew in a household full of love and knowledge about pets. My girlfriend has been a pet sitter since she was in middle school she took care of senior dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, turtles, fishes and parrots. I myself have also been a doggy sitter several times for friends and family. We both just love petsitting and that is why we decided to join Rover. My girlfriend works part time from home and I work at night so we both have plenty of time during the day to play and enjoy time with your pet. We have two Australian parakeets, when there are no other pets around, we love to free them inside the apartment so that they can stretch their wings. When we have pet guests we keep them in their cage and if the guest is not comfortable with them we keep them in a separate room. We work regular office hours Mon-Fri 9am-5pm, so during weekdays we only offer walk service or drop-inn visits after 5:30pm. On weekends we have full availability for both walks and drop-in visits. We love to make your dog or cat feel special and loved on the short time of our visit or walk, we would try to connect with your pet and give him/her all the love we can, for this reason we only walk one dog at the time and we do only 1 drop in visit during weekdays. Your special furry friend deserves respect and value time, during our walk or visit, we will always pay attention to what they make, making sure they stay hydrated not overexposed to high temperatures , we will be patient and do as many stops as they need to make.

About: Dogs are my passion! To me this isn’t a job but a hobby and a way for owners to feel at ease when having to leave their dog. I grew up with dogs and my family dogs do not live with me in my apartment so I’m always looking for dog company! From long walks to playing fetch, I will keep your dog entertained and cared for. I am trustworthy and reliable and would love to care for your dog. I typically work from home 2-3 days a week and can be flexible on which days to accommodate scheduling requests. Always available on fridays and weekends for the most part. I’m in an apartment building on the 6th floor. We have a dog park on site but I would also just walk your dog around the area. (Whatever you prefer). I’m very cautious with elevators and wouldn’t ride one if another dog is in it at the same time. I also like to provide pics and updates to the owner throughout the day so they feel at ease. I have a roommate who also loves dogs and has one as well - a shitzu. He is very friendly and calm.

“Jessica took great care of Roxy while we were away. She was loving and caring. Jessica sent photos everyday and spent time doing Roxys 2 favorite things. Treats and brushes. I will be booking Jessica next time we go out of town!”


About: Hi! I’m a rescue dog mom and lifelong dog lover who grew up with family dogs and has cared for pups of friends, family, and neighbors over the years. I’m especially patient with senior, anxious, or special-needs dogs, my own pup is working through anxiety, so I understand the care they need. I love all dogs and will treat yours like one of my own! I work remotely full time so I am available throughout the day for a drop in, quick play date, or a potty break. I live downtown so I am quickly able to get places by foot or driving. I have a very friendly and playful rescue pup who will not attend a drop in, potty break, or walk. I can administer medicine if needed, take them for walks, or potty breaks!

Downtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
We had an extended leave and Kim came to see our simon every day we were gone. we could tell by the end he was ready for us to be home but we know he was so very thankful for kim coming to hang out and love and play with him! Kim always goes above and beyond while at our home and has great communication. she always sends the best photos too!! we are so thankful we found kim!!

Lucy was great! Really great communication and was fantastic with our cat, who is on the more challenging side and not so social. But Lucy was so sweet with her, spending time and coaxing her with treats until she got a little more comfortable and used to her! I would definitely book her again next time we need someone to watch her!

Hooray! Successful visit with my girl. She’s a little skittish around new people so I was so relieved Kevin was available for a visit/walk while I was tied up with appointments all day. I made it back and all was well and my favorite creature was happy. Great communicator and even sent pics that helped me feel at ease during a pretty stressful day.

This is the second time that I’ve used Camilla from Rover to watch my babies and once again, she did a fabulous job. She was even willing to help out when my flight got canceled until the next day. My pets were well taken care of, I received a report card with pictures after every visit and I came home to happy pets. Thank you until next time….

I can't recommend enough! They were absolutely amazing—super communicative, responsive, and always available when I needed an update or had a question. They took such great care of my French bulldog, going above and beyond to make sure both of us felt totally at ease while I was away. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my girl was in such capable and caring hands. Highly, highly recommend! Thank you both!!!🙏🏻

Laura is AMAZING!!! You can tell how much she truly loves animals. We needed to use her services for the holiday weekend, which then turned into more time away due to a family emergency. She was so accommodating and we were able to add additional days. I felt at ease being away knowing that Laura was taking such great care of our girl.

Aubri is always great! This is either her 3rd or 4th sit, and Sabina always is on her cutest behavior with her (as evidenced by the pics she sends!) so I know that Sabina likes her. Aubri sends detailed updates each visit and is always kind and professional. I will continue to book with her any chance I get.

Max is amazing! He treats our special girl like family! He’s an effective communicator and I never have to worry when I know Max is taking care of our pup. He goes above and beyond every time! We are so happy to have found Max and will hands down refer him to anyone who needs a pet care taker. 🫶🏼🐶

Maricruz was reliable and thorough in caring for our Rosita. She consistently completed all tasks during her 30 minute visits - refreshing food and water in clean dishes, maintaining the litter box, and even managing to give our shy Rosita some attention. We appreciated her dependability and attention to detail, especially with our sometimes timid cat. Would recommend Maricruz for your feline care needs!
