“Briana did a great job house sitting and taking care of my cat. He got his medication everyday and the house was extremely clean when I got back. She sent me pictures and updates every single day which I really appreciated!”

“It’s obvious that Erin LOVES animals. She took such great care of my two babies while I was out of town for work with regular updates to me so I didn’t miss them so much. She was also very respectful of my living space. Couldn’t recommend her more!”

“Lucy was great with my dog and cat while I was away for a few days. She was very communicative and did a great job keeping an eye on the house and yard when there was a big rainstorm as well. I definitely recommend her!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Carolyn. It’s so great to have someone take care of my fur baby and my house while I’m out of town. Can’t recommend her enough!”


About: Hi there! My name is Lauren and I love all fur babies big and small! I have been an animal lover all my life and enjoy spending time with them as much as I can. Ever since I was a young teen, I have been an avid dog walker in my neighborhood, trying to make some extra cash but also getting to spend time with dogs as I did not have my own. Since then, I have been cat sitting for the last 5 years for my family and friends when they go out of town. In most recent years, I have been dog sitting for my coworkers on the weekends. Many of my coworkers have dogs and bring them to our pet friendly office. I have become quite popular with the dogs at the office as I love to take them out and play fetch in the grass space outside. I work Monday - Thursday until 4:30 pm but I am home by 5 pm. Fridays, I am available after 12 pm. I also have open availability on the weekends. I have 2 cats of my own who enjoy their own company, but I am very happy to pet sit in your own home if you are comfortable! I will guarantee that your pet is safe when outdoors whether that be on a leash or within the safety of a fenced yard.
“Biiftuu was an excellent dog sitter. She clearly took good care of my little Aussie poo. She sent good pictures and left the house in excellent shape. I would hire her again.”

“Rachel took great care of our pets, and I could tell they fell in love with her because they were smiling so big in every picture she sent! Would definitely choose her again.”

“Lilah was wonderful. We hired her for Xmas Eve and we felt 100% comfortable leaving our 7 month old puppy in her great hands. We met her about a week before our scheduled time and I immediately felt comfortable having her in our home and more important watching Remy. We talked about expectations (we just wanted her to hang out with Remy) and what we expected from her (just to hang out). Day of, she had taken him for a walk (wasn’t required) and sent me some pictures and we just touched base a couple of times to be sure SHE was okay!! Super happy with her and so thankful she was willing to watch Remy while my family gathered for Xmas Eve!”


“Robert was super accommodating for a short-notice weekend with my pups & cat. He was super communicative and took great care of them all! Would highly recommend Robert!”

“Olivia has proven herself to be a reliable, dedicated, and generally awesome caretaker for our finicky dogs and cat while we were away, allowing us to enjoy our trip without worrying about a thing! We hope she is available the next time we have to head out of town, as she will be our go-to for any check-ins or pet sitting. We would recommend her without hesitation!”

“Samantha was so great! We got so many updates and photos of the dogs and was so nice just knowing everything was going well. We would be more than happy to have Samantha watch the girls again!”

“Penny was absolutely AMAZING and we are so very thankful for her help watching our babies (2 dachshunds). If you know anything about a dachshund, they are loving, needy and can be barky and particular about new friends. We had previously never left our dogs with anyone other than family, but needed to find a sitter while we were away for our wedding for a week with family. Penny blew it out of the park from the moment we did our meet and greet. She has such a warm and calm presence that our dogs instantly became comfortable around (which is no small feat when you’re meeting a dachshund!). She gave us twice daily updates while we were away with plenty of pictures that we were so happy to see. It was clear through her messages that our pups were getting plenty of love and engagement. We were quite worried about our finicky pups and Penny eased those worries and went above and beyond. We would 10/10 recommend Penny and look forward to using her pet watching services in the future 🙏💗 Thank you so much Penny!!! (From the dogs and us humans)”

“Did a wonderful job with our senior dog who needs quite a bit of assistance with meds and mobility. Very responsive and kept us updated all weekend. Definitely recommend!”


“Wow... Chris is an outstanding dog sitter. He came over to meet Waylon prior to agreeing to watch him. He stayed at our house and was with Waylon 100% of the time. While we were gone he walked Waylon twice a day, sent videos and pictures while we were gone. Come home to a very tired pup! We will use Chris again for all of our dog sitting needs.”

“Absolutely fantastic. Our pup who doesn’t love new people was drawn to Mary right away! She made a great effort to get to know him and his needs prior to her stay at the house and even came by to meet him and play with him. We felt 100% comfortable and confident in leaving our dog and home in her care. We got home and everything was left as we found it! Very good communication and sent lots of fun pictures of our pup!”

“Oliver did a great job taking care of our dog and cat while we were away! They were very attentive and gave us constant communication and plenty of photo updates on how they were doing! Would recommend and book again!”

“Margaret did such a great job helping our dog feel happy and safe at home while we were away. We really appreciated the frequent update photos and videos, and we came home to a clean yard and happy pup!”

Downtown East pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous at the thought of leaving my dog with someone he/I didn’t know but McKenna was the BEST person I could have booked. We did a meet n greet and from the first interaction it is clear she absolutely loves doing this. She is so personable with both animals and humans. All my worries completely went out the window! She provided updates, photos, and communication about anything that came up. My boy had a less than ideal grooming issue crop up and she offered to take him in for an appointment and did so happily! She also left my place super clean, which allowed me to soak in all the time with my dog upon my return. Definitely will be booking her again!!

Emily was an amazing care taker for my dogs. They are a little extra, like most dogs are lol. And she took good care of them and all their quirks. She communicated often, sent photos and videos and walked and cuddled them like they were her own. I recommend her for the care of your fur babies and hope to have her again in my home to stay with Otis and Myla 🐶❤️

Rachel took such phenomenal care of Kody. She sent regular updates and pics which helped us know he was in great hands and she kept Kody booked and busy, which helps tire him out so he's less worried about our absence. Rachel was a wonderful sitter who I'd absolutely book again!

This was our first time leaving Tilly home on a short weekend trip and Madd made everything so easy for us and did a wonderful job caring for her and our house while we were away. We got thoughtful updates and photos and a homemade snuffle ball (!!!) for our puzzle-loving dog. We really appreciated being able to meet-up prior to the stay, and it was a gift to be able to have an amazing dog whisperer take care of Tilly!

Rachel took care of our two pups and cat for a little over a week, and because we’ve hired her now several times, I didn’t worry at all - even when there were some tummy problems, I knew she’d take the best care. Our pets are super sweet and gentle and the extra TLC she provides is exactly what they need!

Oliver did a fantastic job with my dog Roux, and I would absolutely book them again! They watched Roux at my house over Memorial Day weekend and everything went great. They were communicative (sending multiple photos and updates each day), respectful of my space, and I came home to a very happy dog! Roux, who is an anxious dog, took to them immediately. I hope to have them as a frequently used sitter going forward!
