“Caitlyn was very communicative and my cat loved her! I came home to my apartment clean and my cat relaxed. Would absolutely recommend Caitlyn to anyone looking for a sitter!”

“This is the second time we’ve had Valeria watch Gyro and Charlie. We are so happy with her care for the boys. Her communication is fantastic and I felt completely at ease knowing she was caring for my two senior dogs.”

“She took care of my puppy for the day. Skilled in caring for pets, she knew how to keep him happy and well behaved, putting in more effort than expected, walking and caring for him. I came home to a happy puppy. She is a lovely person.”

“Juan is an amazing person. I am grateful to have him interact with my baby (Rick). He is really good with animals, very understanding, kind, responsible, friendly, and easy going. From the first time he interacted with my dog, I knew all will be well, because my dog was calm. Rick (my dog) is looking forward to future visit. I would highly recommend Juan.”

About: I have been a in-home pet sitter for the past six years for a medium size dog who had special needs as a puppy. I also am a pet photographer and have done pet portraits and holiday cards! I recently lost my beloved dog Zoey, who I had for over 12 years. I love dogs deeply, and welcome them into my home. I am available on a part time basis with more availability during the summer months. Weekends are ideal but I can be available after 5pm on weekdays or early morning. I live in a pet friendly apartment building, in a dog friendly neighborhood! My apartment is in the smaller side but dog and cat safe!
“I would highly recommend Terri! She looked after our high maintenance Lulu for a week and they truly bonded. Lots of photos and it was obvious that Terri not only loves dogs, but speaks their language. She stayed in the house and it was great to know that she was taking care of everything. If she is available, we would definitely book Terri again.”
“Kristen was a special find for us on Rover when we had an unexpected, urgent need. We could not have been happier, and our dogs were very well cared for. It was a perfect match.”

I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and active while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has its own routine and personality, so I take time to learn their habits, energy level, feeding schedule, and comfort needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, calm companionship, or extra patience and attention, I adapt to what makes them happiest. I’m reliable, punctual, patient, and attentive to details. I can help with: • Daily walks • Feeding & fresh water • Playtime & companionship • Photo and video updates for peace of mind I’m excited to meet your furry family member and provide loving, trustworthy care!

“Imani did a fantabulous job. She loves what she does and I am very happy we found her through Rover. She did home sitting for us. And it was a great experience.”

“Kyla was amazing - she was so attentive and understood the needs of our dog. She even went out of her way to meet our dog beforehand which shows her dedication. We can’t wait to have her dog sit again soon!”

“Destiny did such an incredible job! She was super accommodating with a last minute trip I had for work. She sent lots of pictures and videos of my dog making me feel reassured that he was well taken care of. She left my house probably cleaner than the way she found it! She went above and beyond to clean up after herself. I would highly recommend her for any of your pets needs!”

About: I have been caring for dogs ever since I can remember and in particular I started caring for them professionally around 5 years ago. I have yet to meet a dog I could not handle, even ones that people would call big and scary. I believe this comes from a firmly held belief that if you treat a dog right, they will stand by you forever. I am experienced with dogs from young to old, small to large, and docile to super hyper. I attempt to accommodate any and all requests to the best of my abilities. In addition I would be more than happy to meet a prospective client free of charge before watching their pet. In general, I am available nightly starting at 7 PM except for Fridays where I am unavailable. Wednesday nights and the Saturday nights I am available from 9:30 PM and onwards. Sundays, I am available all day. In general, I do not watch dogs in my own home. In regards to the pet Owner’s home I do whatever I can to accommodate all safety requests and needs.

“Ashley came through when I needed a pet sitter last minute. I'm not always sure exactly when I'll need a sitter, so it's extremely helpful to me when those caring for my pet are flexible and can adjust to accommodate my needs. Ashley was on time and took special care of my almost 11-year-old rescue dog who has separation anxiety and some health challenges. I plan to request Ashley again as my schedule gets busy and I need someone to care for my fur baby. She is reliable and attentive and responds quickly to calls and texts.”
