“Michelle was amazing with our Ragdoll kitty. She was always reliable to make it on the specific times we requested and also played with Gizmo for the full 30 minutes. I told her she could bring our cat stroller out for a walk and she took him on a walk for him! I would highly recommend her and will be book with her again soon 😊”

“Vanessa was very communicative and responsive to me and was very attentive to my pets. She gave me daily pictures and updates. I felt confident the entire time that I was away that my pets were in good hands. I would highly recommend booking Vanessa!”

About: Walks, playtime, belly rubs, and lots of love I’m here for all of it! 🐶 I genuinely enjoy being around pets and love getting to know each one’s unique personality. I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. 🐾 I have a consistent work schedule, so I’m mainly available in the morning 7-8am and evenings 6-8pm and flexible on my days off. I’m flexible with planning ahead and will always make sure I have enough time to give your pet plenty of attention and care. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping them comfortable and maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I’ll follow their feeding schedule, make sure they have fresh water, give them plenty of attention and playtime, and take them outside for walks or bathroom breaks as needed. I also pay attention to their individual personality and needs, whether they’re energetic and playful, shy and independent, or just looking for some extra cuddles.
“Shelby was a great sitter for my 3 cats. Very communicative and flexible with her schedule and helping administer oral meds for one of my cats. Would definitely consider booking her again!”

“Kennedy was excellent with my adult cat—who can be a bit picky. My cat warmed up to her right away. Kennedy has great attention to detail and will make your pet as comfortable as possible while you’re away.”


About: I have over 5 years of experience dog sitting for a variety of families, providing comprehensive care tailored to each pet’s needs. Whether it's managing overnight stays, conducting regular drop-in visits, taking energetic walks, or keeping up with routine potty breaks, I prioritize safety, clear communication, and keeping your dog’s routine consistent while you’re away. In addition to sitting for clients, I’ve grown up with a family dog and frequently care for them during extended stays. Having a dog in my own home has given me a deep, personal understanding of dog behavior, health needs, and how important it is to treat every pet like family. What You Can Expect: Attentive Routine Care: Timely feeding, fresh water, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of play. Active Engagement: Tailored walks, outdoor exercise, and engaging activities to keep your dog happy and stimulated. Frequent Updates: Daily photos and status updates so you always have peace of mind. Respectful House Sitting: Keeping your home clean, secure, and well-cared for during overnight stays. Working part-time from home gives me a flexible, consistent schedule that allows me to prioritize quality time and structured care for every dog I look after. Daily Availability & Supervision: Because I spend most of my work hours at home, pets in my care receive continuous companionship, regular attention, and frequent breaks throughout the day rather than being left alone for long stretches. Structured Daily Routine: My schedule makes it easy to maintain your dog’s exact feeding times, medication schedules, potty breaks, and energy outlets. I build my work tasks around their daily rhythm so their home routine stays seamless and stress-free. Mid-Day Exercise & Play: Flexible working hours allow me to block out time for mid-day walks, backyard play, and mental stimulation games when dogs are typically most active. Overnight & Weekend Care: With a home-based work setup, overnight stays and weekend bookings blend naturally into my regular flow, ensuring your pet always has a present, reliable anchor while you are away. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, my priority is keeping their daily routine consistent, safe, and stress-free. Caring for Pets in Your Home (House Sitting & Drop-Ins) Maintaining Familiar Routines: I follow your exact instructions for feeding, potty schedules, and sleep arrangements so your pet feels secure in their own environment. Attentive Care & Company: I provide plenty of one-on-one attention, play, and quiet companionship while respecting your home and keeping everything clean and secure. Frequent Updates: You’ll receive regular photos and daily status updates so you know your pet and home are in great hands. Caring for Pets in My Home (Apartment Living) Frequent Outdoor Excursions: Since I live in an apartment, I schedule regular, structured outdoor breaks for potty times and fresh air throughout the day. Park Walks & Exercise: We take full advantage of nearby parks for long, peaceful walks, sniffing sessions, and controlled exercise to burn off energy safely. A Cozy, Supervised Environment: My apartment offers a calm, cozy atmosphere where your dog can relax nearby while I work. They receive constant supervision and never have to navigate a chaotic or noisy environment. Safety & Park Guidelines Living in an apartment with nearby parks means safety and attentive handling are my top priorities on every outing. Here is how I ensure your dog stays secure, comfortable, and happy: Strict On-Leash Policy: Your dog will remain securely leashed at all times during outdoor walks, park visits, and potty breaks. I do not take client dogs off-leash in un-fenced public areas under any circumstances. Controlled Park Interactions: Nearby parks are fantastic for sniffing and exercise, but I maintain a respectful distance from unfamiliar dogs and high-traffic areas. I always check with you beforehand regarding your dog’s comfort level around other pets or crowded spaces. Double-Check Gear Security: Before leaving the apartment, I double-check that collars, harnesses, and leashes are fitted securely to prevent any risk of slipping out. Weather & Pavement Checks: Before setting out, I check ground temperatures to protect paw pads during hot weather and keep walks shorter on severe weather days. Fresh water and quick paw wipes are always part of our post-walk routine. Attentive Environment Awareness: Apartment living requires constant vigilance—I stay fully off my phone during walks to focus 100% on scan-ahead awareness, watching for bicycle traffic, wildlife, or stray items on the path.
About: Hi, I’m Jessica! I have grown up with all sorts of animals: dogs, cats, rabbits, fish and cows. Currently, I am an Aunt to one energetic golden retriever and 2 cats. Over the past 5 years I have watched dogs and cats in the city for friends and co workers and would love to watch your fur baby too! I have experience with caring for dogs with anxiety and elderly pets. I am a pretty active person who loves hiking and checking out new places in the city. I work full time from home. Usually my work hours are set in CST so I start early and end early afternoon, leaving a very flexible schedule with lots of time and energy to spend with your pets! I am very easy to communicate with and love spending time outside. I am easy to work with whether it’s for a quick check in, walks while you are away or reliable boarding. I live in an apartment but there are fenced in pet areas on the property. I also own a vehicle to take pets to the park, drop off/pick up or sitting at your home. I have worked in hospitality for over 15+ years. I know exceptional care is all about trust, attention to detail, and personalized service. I’ll treat your beloved pets with the same level of care and dedication we provide to guests at our five star properties.

About: While I don’t have extensive professional experience caring for other people’s pets, I have been around animals my entire life. My family has always had either a cat or a dog, which has given me experience with the daily responsibilities of caring for pets and understanding their needs. I currently have open availability Monday through Sunday, from mornings through evenings. Since I am not working at the moment, I have a flexible schedule and am available for house sitting or dog walking for extended periods as needed. While I do not currently have any pets of my own, I am committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and caring environment for every client’s pet. My goal is to make sure they feel happy, relaxed, and well cared for while they are with me.

About: I've been taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes since I was kid. I have professional experience with dog and cat boarding, sitting, walking, grooming, daycare, etc. I love animals and cant wait to meet yours. I work from home as a caretaker so my schedule is extremely flexible and there is always someone home to watch any animals we have visiting. I dont have any animals at home at the moment so there's a clean slate for me to focus on any specialized care your pet may need while in my care.
About: I’ve been caring for and training dogs for over 15 years, beginning with our family Yorkie. I genuinely love spending time with animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I intentionally accept a limited number of bookings so I can provide each pet with the time, attention, and personalized care they deserve. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you’re away. I work remote during the weekdays but very early so I’m available during the day. Flexible weekends if scheduled ahead and able to room and board! I’ll take great care of your animals as if they were mine, Very professional & have rover friends that can vouch for me! Thank you for trusting me with your fur pals!
“Sophia is amazing and such a wonderful caregiver! Great communication leading up to the stay, and great updates while we were gone for almost a week. We loved seeing the pictures of our happy cat! Sophia is a huge help and will definitely be booking her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Downtown
I’ve been a repeat customer of Jen’s for a few years now, and our most recent trip we needed someone to watch our 2 cats for two weeks. The only person we trust enough while we’re gone for that length of time is Jen! It’s hard to be away from your pets for that long, but we feel peace knowing they’re being loved, played with, and cared for. Thank you for everything Jen!!!

The best Catsitter I’ve ever had! Extremely professional, communicative, responsible, and just does the most doting on my beloved fur baby. I feel 100% comfortable leaving town knowing Edward is taking such great care of my kitty. He really goes above and beyond

Dorothy is dependable and detail-oriented. I appreciate that she makes sure she does the little things I've shared that make a big difference for Bentley, even if it's been a long time since she's seen him. I know I can trust Dorothy to take good care of Bentley. ☺️

The reason I have only ever used one Rover for the past 4.5 years can be summed up in three words: peace of mind. Faby is simply the best! I know my two cats will always receive top notch care and attention, which means I can relax and fully enjoy my vacations knowing they are in excellent hands. Thank you so much Faby - the three of us appreciate you! 😺 🙆♂️ 😸

Xuan is very communicative and sweet. She asked details about my cat’s preferences, and fed and played with him with great patience. She sent me a lot of cute pictures and videos from which I can feel my cat was quite content and helped cleaned up his food bowls and threw the trash. Would love to have her visit again :)
