“I am SO glad I found Brenna! She is so detailed and sends updates all day. My dogs looked very happy, and were well taken care, spoiled even. I couldn't create a better sitter from scratch.”
“She is the best!!! She came in and met the pups and fell in love with them, and she took very good care of them. She stayed overnight and they looked so happy to see us and they were very happy and they weren't acting out. I honestly love working with her. I will definitely go back to her anytime I need her. She is the best and she makes your house look like you never left.”
“Lidia was absolutely a rockstar with Dex! She was so attentive to him and sent me detailed updates so that I knew my little guy was living his best life. 10 out of 10 recommend Lidia!”
“Magnolia did a stay to take care of our cat & dog for just over a week. We came home to two happy and healthy furry children. This was our first time using a service rather than a recommendation for a sitter from a friend and Magnolia quickly put us at ease when she came over to meet everyone before the stay. She's very nice, responsive and I could see they & the house would be in capable hands. We'd definitely reach out to her again.”
“She was amazing with our babies. Definitely was at the house ample time so they weren’t alone a ton. I will definitely be using her again in the future!!”
“Grace is awesome. She communicates very well and took really good care of my boys. She sent me a picture of them both smiling so it made me feel at ease. She is super friendly and seems very well rounded. I will be booking her again”
About: There has been one to two dogs in my family my entire life, I'm very familiar with them and I've never met a dog that didn't warm up to me within minutes. I'm a graduate student getting my PhD in biomedical sciences so I can work long days but I also don't have defined hours so I can take breaks to take care of pups. Dogs typically have to be kenneled unless I've watched them before and know I can trust them to not go to the bathroom in the house.

“Dimecia was wonderful with my girl Darcy! She came for a meet and greet before even on a last minute request! She sent pictures of her visit and updated me about my girl. She spent time snuggling and giving belly rubs in the evening just like my baby loves! I could tell Dracy felt the love and made a friend for life! I will definitely be using Dimecia again in the future .”
“Mickale was fantastic with my puppy. I know this because normally when I walk and he’s super excited. When I walked in this time he didn’t really care to see me that means he had a great time with her, my apartment was left spotless, my dog was healthy. She was very communicative. I genuinely appreciate her for pulling me out of a bind.”
“My pets love her, she sent daily photos, and kept me updated the whole stay. I felt very comfortable knowing she was with them. I even think she vacuumed and watered my plants as a bonus! Thanks so much, definitely will book with you again.”
“Cybil went above and beyond to care for my three puppies, which is a lot! And they had some special pharmaceutical needs at the time. I would recommend Cybil a hundred million times.”

Downtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Mary was really amazing with my boys! She came and met them the weekend before she was going to watch them and was very flexible on her schedule to hang out with my animals! She took my dog to the dog park and walked him! She sent me lots of pictures of everyone and kept me updated in the morning and night which I appreciated! Everything went very smooth and I will definitely be rebooking!
Kissie was absolutely fantastic with our boy Hank! She sent us multiple updates/photos/videos every day we were gone, which we greatly appreciated! We were gone over the holidays so having someone here with Hank to take care of him and love him put as at such ease. Kissie also left the apartment spotless, picked up packages, and took out the trash. Thank you so much and we’ll definitely book her again in the future!
Charlee is a phenomenal sitter! She has been keeping our babies for a couple of years, and she has been nothing short of amazing each and every time. She is timely, communicative, and thorough. I trust her, and I know that she treats my pets like her own. Having her care for them while away puts me at absolute ease.
Akilah went above and beyond. She helped me out when another sitter cancelled last second. My dog and cat loved her as soon as they met her. She sent me photos and videos while I was away. She even took out the trash and washed the sheets in the room she was staying in!! Will definitely use her again.
Taylor and Kiersten did a great job with our two dogs. They house sat for 2 weeks and took care of our high energy young dog Belle and very grumpy old dog George Michael. They were very easy to work with/schedule and sent plenty of cute videos of the dogs during their stay. I can tell that Belle got all the attention she wanted while we were away. She loves to play and get pets and hugs, and is mopey if she doesn't get the attention she wants. She was completely content and not at all clingy/needy when we got home, so I think she had a great time with Taylor and Kiersten. They handled old GM's personality quirks without complaining, which we really appreciated - we know he can be a challenge! Both dogs seemed totally unfazed by us having been away for 2 weeks, so I think that's proof that they were well taken care of by Taylor and Kiersten! Highly recommended!
