“Jazmin was amazing checking in on Lucy! Followed all care instructions I had left for her. She was very communicative and sent me so many update pictures/videos of Lucy. Definitely recommend booking with her as a dog sitter!”
“Debbie was wonderful! She was a drop-in pet sitter for nearly a month because of medical problems that I have been battling. She was very reliable, thorough and patient. Debbie has a unique way of relating to animals. My cat instantly warmed up to her! She gave Kitty one-on-one attention. He loved it! Debbie played with Kitty, and brushed him. He was in Heaven! She also wrote a detailed summary, and sent lots of pictures which I will treasure. I also appreciated that she informed me regarding which wet cat food he liked or didn’t like. After each session, Kitty would return to me all happy and purring! That was the best part…Kitty’s happiness! I would definitely book Debbie again! I highly recommend her!”
“Kendra was very attentive to our animals. She gives detailed check ins with pictures. I felt our animals were well cared for. I will definitely request her again.”
“Kat is fantastic! She is very nice, friendly, thoughtful, has great communication, and a professional person! Yoshi had a great time with Kat! We loved that she sent us pictures and updated us every visit. That really helped put our minds at ease knowing that our puppy is well taken care of. We highly recommend Kat and plan to rebook her again!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and feel very comfortable around them and very in-tune to their needs. I also worked for Midtown Mutts for a year prior to Covid and going back to school (many of the dogs I walked then are shown in my gallery). Not only do I view pets as family members and a whole lot of fun, I also view them as lifelong friends and would take special care that they are always safe, comfortable, happy, and loved! I am familiar with many different breeds and know what different needs this entitles for each. I am available for specific needs as requested by the owner, such as extra walks or special diets and will respect these. I love to take dogs on runs, to the dog park, or on long hikes if the owner permits. I hope you will consider me for your next dogsitting need! I am currently working from home and self-employed, so I am very flexible with my hours, available nights or weekends if needed, and can work around tricky schedules. I have a daily routine with my own dog and cat, so am very aware of pet routines and their importance. I care for pets by following their established routines as closely as possible and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and energy level, whether that means active play and walks or a quieter, more relaxed approach. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining consistency—feeding on schedule, refreshing water, administering care as instructed, cleaning litter boxes or pet areas, and providing companionship and enrichment. I respect the home and any specific instructions provided, and I make sure pets get attention, reassurance, and positive interaction while their owners are away. I am attentive to pet behavior and wellbeing, communicate clearly with owners, and will provide updates as requested so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. My goal is for pets to feel secure and cared for, and for owners to feel peace of mind.
“Fantastic service! First time using Rover. Mel stood out from the rest . Glad I chose her. Very happy client and came home to an even happier kitty. Thanks Mel - Your purr-fect.”
“Dustin is wonderful. I often need to make last minute plans. Dustin always quickly responds to out request to let us know his availability. Our dog, Hank, is aging and Dustin takes such good care of him. I never need to worry as Dustin is 100% reliable. I highly recommend Dustin as he is the best of the best”
About: I’ve raised, trained, and dealt with a range of dogs, big, small, young, or old my whole life, and I'm good at adjusting to each dog's proper needs and quirks! I’m a very patient person and like to take time making sure the dog is having a good time, along with making sure my clients feel safe and comfortable leaving their babies in my care! I have five dogs of my own, such as my Shih Tzu and my Dachshund! I’ve owned many big dogs in the past as well and have a wide experience with different dogs and their quirks! I’m currently a full-time college student, and am free throughout the week and can be flexible with most times throughout the day, whether it be early morning or later in the day! I am able to take extra time for your pet if needed, and don’t mind making adjustments if need be! I have raised many dogs, and even rescued loads of animals throughout my life, and have learned how to adjust to dogs needs. I am very patient and enjoy taking my time making sure every pet is comfortable and having fun throughout the walk. I generally like to update often, and make sure both sides are comfortable and feel safe with the care of the dog. Based on your pets reactivity or personality, I will base my bookings off of that to make sure everything is smooth sailing, as I’d never put a dog in harms way!
About: I have been dog sitting and taking care of pets since I was 15. I love being with dogs of all ages and breeds. I have a soft spot for anxious or nervous dogs as I also have a nervous dog at home myself! I will be sure to send you photos and updates every day about your pet and will treat them like they are my own pup. They will be well taken care of and receive lots of love when they are with me. New to Rover? Use my code for $20 off your first booking! https://www.rover.com/sit/natass69178 I am currently working full-time, but I am available to come by on my lunch break for a potty break or walk, and can come take care of your pet before 8am and after 5pm. If you prefer to keep your dog crated, I make sure they are not being destructive to your home while I am gone. I also make sure to give them plenty of mental stimulation, and I will clearly communicate all matters to you.
“Took care of my 2 cats for over a week. Very attentive and communication was very good! She definitely gave me no worries and I knew my cats were in good hands when I went away. Will definitely be using her services again!”
“Tessa was all we had hoped for to our 16 year old dog. He loved her from the start and she was intuitive and patient with him and his various older dog issues. She’s really easy to plan with and we hope she will help take care of him when we can’t for the rest of his life.”
About: Hi! I go by Aspen! I’ve raised and cared for animals of all shapes and sizes since I was young and I work at a dog boarding and daycare facility. I’ve trained and raised puppies, I have experience with senior dogs and cats and I have lots of experience with reactive dogs or temperamental kitties. I’ve been trained in administering medication and I love all fur babies! I work 5 days a week between 6-8 hour shifts, but other than that spend most of my time at home. When I’m not at my job I will be able to give your animal lots of love and company while you’re away. I am active and love to take your pups on long walks and/or give them tons of play time if that’s their thing! I also love cuddle time with my senior pups/couch potatoes. For overnight stays your fur baby will get walks, endless cuddles, and lots of play time! I love animals being in my personal space and by my side all the time. Send your clingy pups my way!! For Drop-ins and in-house stays I ask that I meet the animal first. For walks I do around 30-60 min per walk. If you have a high energy dog I am happy to incorporate fetch or runs!
“Aimee was wonderful! She cared for mine and my husband’s two cats while we were away. One of our cats is known for not being so friendly towards strangers, but she took to Aimee right away, which gave me a lot of reassurance. She provided excellent care for our cats and I hope she is available again next time we need a sitter.”
“I HIGHLY recommend Svetlana! She is absolutely wonderful with our cat, who can be a little feisty and needs lots of play and attention. Svetlana does a wonderful job taking care of her while we’re gone and making sure she gets all of the exercise and attention that she needs. We were gone for 10 days at one point, and often our cat will break out in dermatitis when she’s stressed, and even after 10 days, she showed absolutely no signs of stress which I 100% contribute to Svetlana’s care and attention. Svetlana also brought in our mail, charged cat toys, and took wonderful care of our home while we were away, giving us daily updates and photos. I could not recommend Svetlana more!!!”
About: I have been around animals my entire life. I adore all animals and really enjoy their company. Having two fur babies of my own I know the importance of having someone you trust take care of them. I would treat your pets as if they were my own. Pets are family and should be treated with love, compassion, and respect. I have taken care of animals of all ages. I can give medication if needed. I would love to spend time with your pets when you are not able to. I currently work part time from home and have a flexible schedule. I would have plenty of time to spoil your fur babies with walks and belly rubs. I can do doggy daycare and boarding almost any day and time as long as your dog is tolerant to other dogs and is up to date on vaccinations. Playtime, walks, snuggles, and whatever else your pups or cats needs are, I am more than happy to supply them with the love and attention they need while you are away.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has had pets by my side essentially my entire life. I currently have a dog and two cats of my own, so I understand how much our pets mean to us—and how important it is to feel comfortable leaving them in someone else’s care. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, medication reminders, or simply some company while you’re away, I’m happy to help make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and quirks, and I’m happy to follow whatever routine works best for them. My goal is to give your pets the same care and attention I’d want someone to give mine. I’d love the opportunity to meet your furry family members and help give you peace of mind while you’re away! 🐶🐱❤️ I work full time but have weekends and every other Monday off perfect for drop in sitting, dog walking, play time or the occasional overnight stay My home is pet friendly with a medium sized fenced in back yard. I have a two cats and 1 medium sized dog. She is playful and friendly and a good dog friend

Christina was great to work with and I would highly recommend her. She is very communicative and always quick to respond. She was also flexible with my schedule and travel arrangements. Every drop in visit came with a thorough summary with lots of photos and how the visit went. I never had to wonder if my kitty was okay, I felt completely at ease the entire time I was away. Would absolutely book again!
Kendra is great!!!! My fur baby is 17 so I get nervous leaving her. Kendra sent pics along with a short message of how things were going for each visit. That was so nice and definitely left me feeling better about traveling. Thank you Kendra for all you do for Kohl ♥️
Taylor is absolutely wonderful with our cats! She has become our regular sitter because our cats adore her, and we can genuinely see how much they enjoy having her around. She goes above and beyond to make sure they are happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we’re away. She is also great about giving them their medications and paying attention to their individual needs. We especially love the thoughtful updates and all the great photos she sends us. It’s so reassuring to see our cats looking happy and relaxed while we’re gone. Taylor treats them with so much love and care, and we feel completely at ease knowing they’re in her hands. We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust and who our cats love just as much as we do!
I cannot possibly recommend Kelsie more highly. In every way she was exceptional. She was very communicative and professional. She went above and beyond when taking care of our dog. He can be shy and timid and she was very kind and calm eventually eating his trust and getting him excited to walk and play which I have not seen before. It was wonderful to see. I cannot overstate enough how continually impressed I was in every way.
Stephanie was fantastic! She was punctual, polite, and very thorough, asking all the right questions to make sure our pets were well taken care of. She was incredibly kind and attentive to our dogs, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about them. Stephanie was a huge help while we were away on our camping trip. She not only took great care of our dogs, but also fed our pet betta fish and made sure Luna received her medication. Knowing that everything was being handled while we were away gave us great peace of mind. We really appreciate how responsible, caring, and communicative Stephanie was. We would definitely reach out to her again the next time we need someone to care for our pets. Highly recommend her!
Kilani is incredible! Our two cats warmed up to her right away and you could tell she was very comfortable and knew what she was doing. Kilani was very punctual and responsive with her communication too. As an added bonus, the photos she sent of our girls were phenomenal! We will definitely book again.
Kathleen was lovely to work with - she communicated quickly and clearly through the whole booking. It was obvious that both my cats felt safe with her and I knew they were cared for. Kathleen made every step easy from meet and greet to leaving my apartment in great shape for when I came home. I’m always a little nervous working with a new sitter but she put me right at ease and I would recommend her to anyone!
Debbie was incredibly caring and thoughtful while watching our bunny. We appreciated all of her care and were very confident that our rabbit was in great hands while we were out of town. She paid attention to detail and followed through with everything we had discussed! Would 100% recommend!
