“Yvette did a great job. We have an aggressive dog so our situation isn’t the easiest for most sitters but she kept everyone safe and our home clean. We would highly recommend her.”
“Taliyah was fantastic with Freya and Maybella! She made sure to provide consistent updates while maintaining responsibilities of what was requested. Will be using Taliyah again for the future!”

About: I have loved taking care of my boss's Teacup Maltese (Sassy) for the last 9 years and would like to help others out as well. My experience has ranged from running by to feed her if no one was home to spending two weeks with her in her own house so she felt comfortable while the family was on vacation. She has also stayed at my apartment for shorter stays as well. We have dealt with dietary changes in food and feeding schedules over the years to best accommodate what she needs, so if your dog has any special dietary requirements, I am more than happy to help. I've been there for Vet check-ups, dental cleanings, grooming, etc. to help keep her calm and have enjoyed every step of the way. I look forward to helping take care of your family member!
About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my genuine love for dogs and the way they respond to me in return. I take time to understand each dog’s personality, build trust, and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and safe while their owners are away Pet care is at the center of my daily and weekly routine. I plan my days around feeding, walking, playtime, and check-ins to make sure every pet gets the time and attention they need. I’m fully available for regular visits and last-minute bookings. Caring for animals isn’t something I fit into my schedule — it is my schedule. At home, my own dog enjoys frequent walks, playtime, and plenty of treats — and I bring that same energy and attention to every pet I look after. Whether I’m providing care in a familiar environment or welcoming a new furry friend into my home, I focus on creating a fun, caring, and reliable experience
“Stella is fantastic! great with my animals, this last visit I was having AC issues and she made sure everyone was comfy while I had someone come service the unit. highly recommend her!”

“Gracie is a literal angel! She stayed at my house for 11 days taking care of my dog and 2 cats, and she somehow left my house better than when I left! My pets aren’t the easiest to take care of so I left a lot of specific instructions and she was able to maintain their care seamlessly. Couldn’t recommend her enough and I would definitely ask her to pet sit again.”


“Having Ayisha at our place was just amazing. She was super nice with our dog. She kept us updated throughout the entire stay and even went out of her to help us solve a small issue at home. We are so grateful for her care and kindness. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to take care of their pets. We ll definitely be calling her again!”

“Casey is a 10 Plus. You can’t go wrong here. He goes above and beyond. Walked my dogs even my older dog and I am sure she loved it. He would keep in touch with me send pictures and updates ❤️. My house was spotless when I arrived which was soooooo nice . I am so HAPPY I found him. You can’t go wrong using Casey HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM”

About: I have grown up with many different dogs from chihuahua & yorkies to pit bulls & German Shepards. Therefore, I am comfortable, love & welcome all sizes! We also had 2 cats so I love them too! I currently work Monday-Friday 7am-5pm so I am available any time before or after to fit some dog walks or drops ins, in my schedule! Weekends are wide open-especially for boarding! I live in an apartment with no kids or other animals. I would treat your dog or cat as my own ❤️ if the big dog needs some walking time on trails that’s where we’ll be, if the small dogs want to stay at home and rest, we’ll watch tv on the couch together & vice versa for cats!

Downtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Look no further! You have found your sitter! Natalie is extremely poised, communicative, loving with our pets. We have only left our tiny toy poodles once before, so we are as neurotic as they come. At our “meet and greet”, our most shy one let Natalie hold her as we walked around the house and outside. Natalie is what we would call a dog-whisperer. Her personality is so calm, our babies trusted her immediately.

Kylie communicated effectively about her arrivals and departures. The pictures she sent were clear and super cute. My cat threw up (classic cat behavior) and she was professional by letting me know immediately to assess if it was a medical concern or not. I’d definitely hire her again.

Lyndsey is the best nanny for my dogs! She stays in my home over night with them and treats them like they are her own! My dogs love her so much and we’re so thankful to have her! I have rebooked numerous times and will continue as long as I can with her! Highly recommend!!!

Demi and Jimmy were absolutely amazing!! They took the time to come and meet our fur babies ahead of time and get to know us. They sent us frequent updates and pictures over the 14+ days that we were away from our house. When we got home our house was cleaner than we had left it for them. Being new to the area were were very leary of finding someone trustworthy and reliabel to stay in our home with our pets. We are very releived to have found wonderful people who took great care of our animals and our home. Thank you both very much!
