“Shawn was a good sitter for me and my kitten. I appreciate his flexible and his care to my kitten. I was worried due to past sitters and im glad that Shawn took good care of my baby. He was communicative with me, always keeping me informed and I could easily reach him, as needed. He was descriptive in his rover cards and that helped ease my mind on how the visit with my kitten went. I asked for him to check on my kitten’s automatic food dispenser and water fountain, along with cleaning out her litter daily.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, from Golden Retrievers, to Lhasa Apsos, to rescue mixes, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities and needs. I’ve helped train two dogs and enjoy reinforcing good habits, whether that’s basic commands, leash manners, or just keeping consistency with what you’re already working on. I’m happy to incorporate light training into walks or visits if that’s something you’d like. I’m also comfortable administering medications and paying close attention to any specific care instructions. I recently moved to the area and can’t have pets in my current apartment, so I truly love getting my dog time in by caring for others’ pets. I treat them like they’re my own! I’m a part-time student, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day. I enjoy getting outside for walks and breaks, and I love incorporating that time with caring for dogs. I’m available for daytime walks and drop-ins, and I can usually adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs! I prioritize making your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to follow your routine exactly, whether that’s feeding schedules, walk preferences, or any specific instructions you have. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and aim to keep things calm and consistent for your pet. I’m attentive to behavior, energy levels, and any signs of stress, and I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease!
About: Family pets were obviously my first foray into pet care. Amongst my brothers I was the first choice to watch our youngest four legged family member. This was noticed by neighbors. While young me was a little shy to ask, other pet owners on the block would grab me for the one off walk or dog sitting session. Care continued to my own pets, and here we are. I'm a professional MMA fighter. While I'm not training I get a lot of personal time with my own little fur balls. Walks, play, even just refinding our centers, I think that being close with animals is a true cheat code to personal health. We live in a quiet neighborhood. The area has plenty of walking trails and even some open spaces to really get those four legs moving. Or we could just chill in the sun in the fenced in back yard. At your place I'm able to hang, go on walks (or run), etc. whatever your pet needs!
“It’s always such a relief knowing someone is there to look after my little buddy — even if he hides under the bed the whole time! Thank you for being there for him to make sure he had everything he needed.”

“I’m Anna has been really amazing with my pup! And my pup loves her so much. She responds timely, sends updates regularly when she’s checking in on my pup and she helps reinforces training. I’m so lucky to have found her.”

“Hannah goes above and beyond what was expected, her attention to detail and the care she shows for my cats is immeasurable. She even tried to clean up a mess one of my cats left! Highly recommended and will definitely be hiring Hannah again!”

“Adam was absolutely amazing! He came round to meet our three senior cats and they are usually very afraid of strangers but they took to him straight away and even while we were away they came out to greet him which is a miracle! He took amazing care of our babies over the last 7 days, sending daily updates and photos of them so we could relax and not worry about them at all. We will definitely be booking Adam again for our next trip. Thank you!”

“Debbie is an excellent cat sitter! Both of our cats love her and we are so grateful to have such a reliable person to make sure our cats are doing well when we travel!”

“Nak was so sweet and she even got our shy cat to come out and get some love. Our dogs are usually scared of new people but they went right up to her! ✨💖🍀 So thankful for trustworthy and kind people in this world!! 🙌”


About: Loving, Attentive, and Reliable Pet Care — Tailored to Your Pet’s Needs! Hi! I offer professional, compassionate care for dogs and cats through boarding, walking, and drop-in visits. Whether you have a playful puppy, a senior companion, a pet with special needs, or a high-energy pup that’s hard to tire out — I’m here to provide personalized care in a calm, safe, and loving environment. I've had lots of experience with animals — from volunteering at a shelter for 3 years (working once a week), to having pets of my own since I was 5 years old, both cats and dogs. On top of that, my mother is a veterinarian and has been since I was 7, so I’ve grown up in an environment where caring for animals was second nature. I'm well-versed in animal behavior, handling, and overall care thanks to a lifetime surrounded by animals and professionals. As someone who works from home with a flexible schedule, your pet will never be left alone — they’ll receive constant attention, companionship, and care throughout their stay. I pride myself on being punctual, communicative, and dependable, and I go the extra mile to make sure your pet’s routine is followed closely for an easy and stress-free transition. I send daily photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing, and I’m especially sensitive to owners who are very attached to their animals — I’m here to help you feel confident and connected while you're away. Before any booking, I like to learn more about your pet’s specific needs: What is their feeding schedule? How often do they need potty breaks? Do they require daily walks, playtime, or specific care routines? Are there any medical needs, anxiety triggers, or behavior quirks I should know about? My goal is to create a home-away-from-home experience where your dog or cat feels safe, relaxed, and truly cared for. I welcome all types of pets — young, old, shy, energetic, or somewhere in between — and I'm committed to giving each one the love and attention they deserve. Let’s chat about how I can make your pet’s time away from you as smooth and comfortable as possible! Pet care is part of my daily life. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m with the pets 24/7 — they’re never left alone and always get constant attention, love, and care. Whether it’s daily walks, potty breaks, medication, or just play and snuggles, I easily build their routines into my day. I’ve grown up around animals, volunteered at a shelter for 3 years, and my mom’s a veterinarian — so caring for pets is second nature to me. Making animals feel safe, happy, and at home is what I do every day! In my home, pets are treated like family. I’m with them at all times — they’re never left alone — and they receive constant attention, love, and personalized care. I follow their usual routines closely, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, and any special needs they may have. I keep pet parents updated daily with photos, videos, and messages so they always feel connected. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine and comfort. I’m punctual, respectful of your space, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe and secure in their familiar environment. Whether it's boarding, drop-ins, or walks, I always provide calm, reliable, and attentive care.
About: I have taken care of dogs for at least five years. I have had dogs of my own pretty much since the day I was born! With that, means I’ve taken care of dogs from puppies, to old folks! I work part time, I’m off every day at 12 and free after that! For over night care they would only be alone for about 4/5 hours while at work! My front yard is partially fenced with a dog restraint so they can still venture in the grass, my back yard is fully walled in! And if your dogs love water we have a pool!
About: I’m a dedicated and reliable pet sitter with hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals, from energetic pups to more sensitive or senior pets. In my previous professional pet sitting role, I handled daily walks, feedings, medication routines, and detailed visit updates, so you’ll always feel informed and confident while you’re away. I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique personality, whether that means high-energy playtime, calm companionship, or extra patience for shy pets. Safety, cleanliness, and routine are always my top priorities, and I treat every home with the same respect I would my own. My goal is to make your pets feel secure, loved, and stress-free while giving you complete peace of mind. I’m currently a full-time student, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays, and I do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine. Weekends are wide open, and I have good availability during weekdays as well. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to making sure your pets get the attention and care they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep things familiar and stress free, whether that’s walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or quiet time. I’m attentive to behavior and body language, and I’m comfortable caring for energetic dogs as well as shy, senior, or more independent cats. I keep a clean, secure environment and treat every home with respect. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is safe and happy.
“Elena did drop-in visits with my puppy, Rosie, and was wonderful. She was very thorough with making sure she was taking care of her the way I would. It is clear that she loves dogs, and I think Rosie loved her too! She was communicative on all of her visits and I loved the pictures that she sent me. I would work with Elena again and recommend her to anyone!”

“Kelly did great with my two cats! I loved the vids and pictures I got over the weekend reassuring me they were doing great. I’m so thankful my pets were taken care of so well.”

Downtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
RUTH WAS SIMPLY EXCELLENT!! She communicated before , during and after the visits. She kept my little monster fed while I was out of town. I contacted her on such short notice and she replied back so quickly. I am extremely satisfied. Next time I am out of town again she is my go to person.

Rossy was great with Bruno! She definitely gave me some peace of mind while I was away this weekend. Bruno was such a good boy with her and he definitely trusted her to take him out and feed him. Definitely recommend and will be using her services again. Thank you, Rossy! 😁
