“Brin is my idea of the perfect sitter for my dog. She went well beyond the requirements and made Gonzo her friend and gave him the attention and affection she would give her own. She provides the highest level of service with a true love of animals and I would recommend her highly to all to use her services.”

“Alba did such a great job taking care of my dog. She sent me pictures when she made her visits, played with my dog and made sure he was taken care of. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. I will always use Alba to look after my pets ♥️”
About: I've been taking care of my household pets since I was about 10 years old. I love animals of all types, and I am especially partial to big dogs. Currently my schedule is very open. I do theatre in the evening, but I can be up and taking care of pets as early as is necessary. I live in an apartment that has plenty of space for all types of pets. The complex includes a dog park and enough space to give pets plenty of exercise.
“Thank you, Sara! My dog and cat were well cared for, I got regular updates and I always knew how they were doing. Very thankful to have found you.”
“My 3 boys absolutely love this family and consider them their best friends. They are so excited to see them. We know they are in excellent hands and can leave worry free. 5 stars!!”
“This was my first time using Rover.com and the first drop-in visits from Lauren. She came over for a meet-n-greet beforehand which made ALL the difference to me and allowed me to get to know her a little and see how my dogs responded to her. She is gentle and respectful around the dogs, especially giving my more timid girl time to warm up and also able to match my more energetic dogs' need to play. I felt immediately relaxed and confident that Lauren would be reliable, communicative, observant and caring - and she was all of those things. Highly recommend.”
“Brianna took great care of my cat while I was away which was a great comfort. She kept me informed with reports & pics. Never easy leaving your fur baby, but Brianna will help make that less stressful.”
“This was my first time using Rover and Mikayla did NOT disappoint. She kept me updated the entire time and uploaded the cutest photos. She even washed my dogs food bowl so her wet food wouldn’t leave dried up pieces. 10/10 would definitely recommend her! Thanks again Mikayla!”
“Gabrielle was great at communicating with me about taking care of my 2 dogs! She was on time and gave a detailed breakdown of the visit. My dogs looked very happy in the pictures she shared!”
“Walter's wife Gabi took extra special care of our dog Bully. We had never used Rover.com. Gabi was AMAZING and Extremely Professional!!! She went above and beyond to make sure our dog was properly cared for. Bully accidentally ran out of her food and Gabi happily bought her food as well. She always sent pictures and there was lots of communication about the visits and walks. She also took amazing care of our home. I would recommend Gabi and Walter to anyone who wants complete peace of mind while on vacation. I will only use Gabi in the future if we need a dog sitter.”
“Julia did an amazing job checking in on our senior dog while we were away on vacation. She is super easy to communicate with and provided great updates while we were gone. She went above and beyond to make sure our dog was well taken care of. We highly recommend booking with her!”
About: I have plenty of experience working at animal adoption shelters and taking care of even the most difficult or needy animals. I can administer medications as needed (oral or IV) and will be happy to meet any needs your pet or you may have for my check-ins. I work full time at the university as a graduate research student studying cardiac muscle biology but am happy to stop by and check on your pets on my way to and from campus! I have tons of experience ranging from chronically sick pets to those who are more comfortable just being fed and left alone. I am happy to give your pets all the attention they need to be happy while you're out-of-town and can work with even the most dependent or needy animals.
“Working with Laura was great. This was our first time using a sitter instead of friends/family to watch our cats, and she made us feel very comfortable. Our cats were well cared for, fed, and happy. I would book Laura again.”

Dylan R.
“The first thing I noticed about Dylan was how patient, caring, and attentive to his cats he was. He goes out of his way to connect with animals, and to assure they feel safe and cared for in his presence. My dog Bonnie felt especially safe with him, which was not normally how she felt around men. Even in her final moments, he was there with us to help us both feel comfortable. Dylan is the first person I would trust with any of my animals in the future.”
