“We had Aracelis take care of our two cats over Christmas, and she did a wonderful job. She kept them fed, made sure their litter was clean, and checked in on them throughout the holidays. It was great knowing they were well taken care of while we were away. We would highly recommend Aracelis to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter!”

“She went above and beyond, sending tons of photos and videos that gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear she genuinely loves and cares for my cat like her own. As long as she’s available, I won’t book with anyone else!”

“Teddy was great with communication and super understanding of what I needed (and my pup needed). She was great with my high energy puppy who needs a lot of attention. I highly recommend her services!”

“She was so kind and responsive, even with a last-minute request. I felt really comfortable trusting her with everything, and she took excellent care — she even tidied up my place a bit, which was such a thoughtful touch.”

“My cats loved being with Mark and his wife - they are very reliable and are great communicators always keeping me up to date and sending pictures of my babies”

“Natalie was an amazing pet sitter. She was kind, professional, and really easy to work with from start to finish. My cat warmed up to her right away, which says a lot—he’s usually pretty cautious with new people. She took great care of him, kept me updated, and made the whole experience stress-free. I’d definitely recommend her and will gladly book with her again.”

“right on time, fed him, changed his pee pad, and took such amazing care and efficiency. Everything was done smoothly and thoughtfully, and my dog was clearly comfortable and happy with her. Her communication was excellent the entire time, which gave me so much peace of mind. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and kind dog walker. Thank you so much!”

“Jimmy is an incredible cat sitter! He's super attentive, kind, and truly goes above and beyond. He sent me plenty of pictures and videos, which made me feel so at ease while I was away. My cat absolutely loved him-he took the time to play and bond with him, not just do the basics. If you're looking for someone reliable who genuinely cares about your pet, Jimmy is the one!”

I am the current owner of three senior cats, a chameleon, and a bearded dragon. I have experience handling and caring for senior dogs, cats, and birds. I am an aspiring veterinarian passionate about animal care and here for you and your pets needs! I am an online college student with open availability throughout the week. I dedicate ample time to caring for my animals and will do the same for you! I have a flexible schedule and can easily make arrangements for whatever is needed. I enjoy providing animals with a comfortable, safe space. I will follow instructions to ensure that my clients pets have the routine and care they are used to.
“Astrid is the best! My dog loves her so much. She took great care of my dog and always sent updates and pictures. She was reliable and always on time. I would highly recommend her!”

“So incredibly sweet and responsive! We are so grateful for her being able and willing to take care of our fur babies! Our little one is incredibly shy with new people and she was able to work with him so well. Super appreciative!”

About: I grew up with an 80-pound yellow Lab and have always been comfortable walking and caring for medium to large dogs. I’m attentive to leash behavior, body language, and each dog’s unique personality. As a medical student, I bring a calm, responsible approach to every walk and make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and cared for. I’m available primarily for walks and drop-ins during afternoons and evenings; my schedule can be variable and there are some mornings that also work throughout the week! Weekends I can offer up to two walks and more time with your dog. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities during every walk or visit. I closely follow all instructions regarding leashes, feeding, medications, and home rules. I stay alert on walks, avoid unsafe areas, and ensure pets are always secure. In your home, I’m respectful, clean, and focused on maintaining your pet’s normal routine so they feel calm and comfortable.
About: I own a dachshund myself. I am extremely tolerant with different behaviors that different dogs display and I have completed basic obedience training course for myself. I have the right balance between spoiling your pup and teaching them some good habits. I am able to do dog walking anytime of the day, 7 days of the week. Boarding availabilities vary, please message me for boarding availabilities. I live in an apartment building with a dog run inside, I have a balcony in my own apartment. I have a two year old dachshund who loves to play and nap, I can keep dogs in separate rooms or let them play together depending on their personalities.
About: I studied vet med at Iowa State University and have vast experience working at animal shelters. I’ve been trained in pet care, doggy heimlichs and administration of medications. Grew UP with dogs all my life, my mini schnauzer in PR has epilepsy and I know that making sure shes in good hands is always top priority. Your dog(s) will be treated like my own when with me. I’m currently working from home with flexible hours. I’m able to walk your dog(s) as many times as needed throughout the day and whatever distance needed. Theres a beautiful park by where I live that has a fenced in yard that I can also take them to play in, if agreed upon (and if your dog is not reactive since this is a public park and i want to ensure their safety). During their stay your pet(s) will be allowed in the living room and bedroom of the apartment. They can sleep on or off my bed or couch, whatever they feel the most comfortable in. And if they need extra care or attention to ease any separation anxiety or stress I’ll be there. You will be receiving as many pictures, videos or updates as you would like. If I’m walking your dog they will always be on leash and completely supervised.
“Maryam does such a great job providing care, love, and playtime for my Jagger and Lucci. They both adore her and she is just the absolute best. If you want someone to trust and care for your fur babies, contact her!”

“Stephanie took great care of my cat Luna for 2 weeks! Her schedule is very flexible and keeps you up to date. She also helped with a few apartment related items while I was away. Would highly recommend!”

Downtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Natalia is incredible!! I hired her very last minute for drop in visits and walks for my bernedoodle Bear, when my plans changed on extremely short notice. She was flexible, reliable and friendly, and even more importantly, she really took the time to connect with Bear. This was my first time leaving Bear since adopting him, and since I work from home, he is not used to spending time alone. After one drop in visit, he began howling after Natalia left; she heard him, went back inside to calm him down, left her sweatshirt for him to cuddle with, and stayed until he settled. I felt so reassured knowing that someone so caring was looking after him. We will absolutely hire Natalia again going forward.

Cristy went above and beyond taking care of our kittens. They loved her and I didn’t have to worry at all while I was away for a week. When they both had soft stool, she even diligently cleaned up after them and recommended a great diet plan. The kitties were relaxed, well brushed, and well fed!
