About: As the mother of a 3 year old neutered Dalmatian and as a Veterinary Technician I come with the knowledge of wellness and emergency care as well as the exercise needs of your baby! You have a puppy or kitten that wants to play all day long ? No problem! I can teach him/her some basic training/tricks such as sit, stay, and the command “drop it” for safety reasons! (It can be both English and Spanish since I’m fluent on both languages!). You have a senior dog/cat that prefers to cuddle and sleep all day? We can do that as well! I am flexible regardless of age and breed! I can administer medication based on your preference and needs of your pet as well as feed and provide water as needed! My goal is to help your pet feel loved and at peace while you as the owner, get to have peace of mind with who your pet is with! *I provide a smoke, alcohol, and drug free home as well as a play mate if necessary for your dog!* *If your dog or cat is not dog friendly that’s no problem for boarding at my home! Both my dog and your pet can be separated upon request!* I have an open schedule throughout the week based on your needs as a client and the needs of your pet regardless of the time in the day! I provide a peaceful and quiet environment that fits perfect for an anxious pet but also a very nearby dog park within my apartment complex where your dog can run around for as long as they’ll like! I’m flexible for your needs and requests!
“Tamikia did a fantastic job taking care of our cat while we were away. She came at the scheduled time and did all that was asked of her and more. She made us feel very comfortable leaving our cat in her care. We enjoyed receiving the daily updates and photos while we were away. We would definitely hire her again!”
“Lauren was so wonderful to our kitties. They quickly warmed right up to here. She was easy to get in contact with leading up to, and throughout our time away, and she shared tons of pictures+videos. We’ll certainly book her again.”
“Ana was absolutely incredible. I’m so grateful for her. She took care of our elderly, diabetic cat Hannah (who also has CKD) while my partner and I were away. Ana expertly administered the plethora of medications (oral and injectable) and checked Hannah’s blood glucose via glucometer. She was also extremely patient when feeding her and cleaned up after Hannah had a couple accidents in her bed. I was especially appreciative of Ana’s flexibility and attention to detail when Hannah’s needs changed shortly before my trip after we had booked. Ana was very communicative as well and sent us plenty of updates and pics during her check-ins. I would recommend Ana to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter who can manage complex cats like my own. A million thank you’s to Ana and I will definitely book with her again!”
“Jay did an excellent job taking care of our two cats while we were out of the country for almost three weeks! Both of them clearly got enough playtime and love (I saw in pics one of them even did belly flops for Jay, which is normally reserved for my partner only) and all their dishes, litter boxes, etc. were in pristine condition. It's been the easiest transition back to their routine after a trip since we got them. Will definitely be booking with Jay again--would give 6 stars if I could!!”
“Kaydee took extra good care of my very senior boy who was in a splint/cast and required some additional gear and handling before going out. She left my place spotless, had great communication, and very easy to work with. Highly recommend!”
“Ellen was fantastic with Clover. She came to do a “Meet and Greet” and then we walked Clover to the park. Clover immediately took to Ellen, and I would not hesitate to have her watch Clover again. I would highly recommend!”
“Gabriella was prompt attentive and the perfect sitter for my 2 cats. I had some special food instructions(medicated) as well as special litter(feline pine) and she nailed it. She was very responsible with my key and I felt safe with her visiting my house. I'll be booking her again in the future!”
About: I grew up with many different animals and taking time to learn behaviors and what they like means alot to me. I love dogs personally and getting to spend time with them and learning and caring for them is really important. Im a part time student and I think pet sitting/walking is very convient for me. I have alot of time and willing to spend that time with animals I always made time for my pets and learned around them to make them comfortable with the environment and people, unfortunately I have family that are allergic so I dont have any anymore. In my clients home I prefer for it to be clean and make sure its space for pets to have a good stretch
About: We have been watching dogs throughout college and grad school at our house by the shore for 7 years. We wanted to continue watching our furry friends in the city! My boyfriend’s family bred Golden Retrievers growing up, and we are both very responsible and communicative with our stays. We have a 4 month old kitten who LOVES animals of all sizes! My boyfriend and I are both teachers! We have the exact same schedule and are home every day at 3pm as well as off weekends and holidays! We take our dogs on walks at the local park! If your dog isn’t good with others, no problem! We have a very quiet street and a lot of places to make sure they get the exercise they need!
About: I’ve had 2 dogs - a boxer for 2 years, and a pomsky for 2 years as well. I am used to doing multiple walks daily, going to the dog park, open parks, used to cleaning up after dogs, feeding them, giving them love and care and affection. Also accustomed to washing them as well. I have been around dogs my entire life even outside of owning them. Having a dog is a lot like having a small child - I have a 3 year old son myself now, and I know that leaving your dog with someone else to take care of them can be nerve racking because it’s hard to leave you baby with someone! Rest assured with me - I will take care of and love your dog as well as they are taken care of at home ❤️ Currently working full time, so weekends from Friday afternoon up until Sunday evening I am available fully. I can also do weekdays if your pet is okay to be left alone during the day for a 10 hour period while I am at work and primarily receive morning/early evening care. I have a small fenced yard, so they can go out there for fresh air or potty, I also can walk them around as well - there is a park for kids and dogs within a couple blocks that I regularly take my son to. Pets in my home are well fed, shown lots of affection. They are allowed on couches. I do have a toddler, so they have to be pets that play well with small children. I do not currently have a dog, but when I did they would get a morning walk before work, afternoon when I get back, then weekends would get more extended outside time. How much they are fed depends on your personal preference based on dietary needs.
“Jackie provided drop in visits for my senior dog over the holidays. She arrived on time for each visit, fed and walked my dog, and sent me a detailed update and photos after each visit. I would use Jackie in the future and highly recommend using her, your pup will be in good hands!”
About: Hi everyone! my name is Rhyeshona but I prefer Shona a 24-year-old part time child care assist that also happens to love the second kind of children, animals. Unofficially I have 10+ years of experience taking care of an assortment of pet’s due to growing up in a “zoo”. Growing up my family would get a new pet every month of the year and each one demanded different requirements. Believe me I know about giving quality time around the clock. When it comes to activeness as well as my communication I take great pride in it, that’s why I’ll have no problem updating you on your pet’s with handfuls of pictures included. Being able to spend time with animals that’s suppose to act like animals gives me peace of mind and I look forward to meeting them. Around last year I graduated with my associate’s degree in Culinary Arts. After graduation however I found myself bouncing around jobs before working in childcare until I can become my on boss. I’m looking forward to meeting both you and your beloved pet. Boardings and Drop In’s I’m always around to help. ANY QUESTIONS IN MIND? GOT A PET THAT’S NOT A CAT OR DOG BUT STILL REQUIRES CARE? DON’T HESITATE TO REACH OUT! Though I work from Monday-Friday I’m most likely always home. However when Im out I’m not the only one caring for your pet it’s a family effort. I’m available from 7am to hours late into the night during the week and weekend. My home is available for care as well as your own to broaden your options. Though I don’t have my own vehicle my communication skills and experience with public transportation allows me to stay punctual. Any size cat is in my comfort zone, for dog’s I’ll be sticking with small-medium. If your pet has a routine you’d like to keep intact I’m more then willing to stick to it to provide normalcy and training to them
“Best sitter ever! Very caring for my recently spayed puppy making sure she got her meds and checked her surgical scar for me. Equally as attentive and caring to my second pup! Don’t know what I’d do without her. Don’t hesitate to book, you won’t regret it”
“Madeline is amazing and very compassionate! Took great care of my senior pups. My one senior really can’t leave the house anymore so we did drop in visits. Madeline put us at ease by sending updates and photos every time she checked in. Definitely will use her again! I’ve used Rover twice before and she is the best!”
“Super communicative and very sweet to talk with!! Updated daily with pictures and made effort to engage with both of my cats! My cats seemed comfortable with her and I will definitely utilize her again.”

Ixchel was excellent! I want to hire her every time I go out of town. My dogs were really comfortable with her and when I got back from my trip, my dogs were well taken care of. She took them on such long walks and made sure they got exercise. She sent lots of pictures and played with them as well.
My husband had always make the arrangements with Ryder so I was a little apprehensive taking care of it myself. But couldn’t have been easier. Melissa was great. All of her reports were fun to read. Thanks Melissa and Rover. Little Girl was well taken care of while I was away.
Madeline is amazing and very compassionate! Took great care of my senior pups. My one senior really can’t leave the house anymore so we did drop in visits. Madeline put us at ease by sending updates and photos every time she checked in. Definitely will use her again! I’ve used Rover twice before and she is the best!
Edward was such a great sitter for my kitties! Responded last minute to my last minute request heading out for the weekend unexpectedly with no issue. Was very diligent in following our complicated building and care instructions and dealing with our messy just moved-in apartment, sending amazing pictures of my babies, and super timely in his visits. My kitties very obviously took to him well in his videos and were very happy and much less stressed and anxious upon our return. Will be very happy to use him again
I had a wonderful experience with Carol! She took excellent care of my cat while I was away and gave me complete peace of mind. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly attentive to my cat's needs and personality, and I appreciated the regular updates, photos, and thoughtful check-ins. I'd highly recommend Carol to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring pet sitter. I would absolutely book with her again in the future!
