“Jasmine was great with my two kitties and consistently arrived around the same time each day to do drop in visits. I really appreciate Jasmine's punctuality because it helped my cats build a routine around my absence. She was great with the kitties and her write ups are thorough and include lots of cute pictures and videos. I'd highly recommend Jasmine!”


“Heleen goes above and beyond, cannot recommend her enough! She really cares, was super communicative, and took such good care of our cat who was sick while we were out of town. Our cat takes a while to warm up to people and is very particular, but Heleen won her over. She's our go-to cat sitter and just amazing!”


About: My son now refers to me as the “Dogfather”. So I’ll own it! I’ve been caring for animals since I was six years old, and over the years, I’ve become the go-to pet sitter in my family whenever anyone travels. It’s something I truly love, so I decided to share that care and attention with others in my community. When I walk your dogs, I aim for a solid 2 to 3 miles during each hour-long session to give them the exercise they need and deserve. I treat every dog like they’re my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and well-looked after every step of the way. You can relax knowing your fur baby is in good hands. For overnight boarding we ask that dogs that you suspect might have fleas be given a flea treatment prior to their stay. We aim to keep our house “flea free” to ensure that all your pets are safe and healthy! I’m a freelance artist with a flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time throughout the day to give your pets the care and attention they deserve. I’m available for overnight stays every night of the week and can easily work around your schedule. Whether it’s daytime check-ins, long walks, or overnight care, I’m here to provide reliable, loving support whenever you need it. I have a completely fenced in yard and a sweet little dog named Kirby. I work in my garage so I’m always aware of what is going on in the yard as it is right next to me. I take breaks often throughout the day and spend lots of time playing with my own fur baby so I’ll have plenty of time to devote to yours as well.

About: I've grown up with 6 labs, 2 cats, numerous fish, hamsters, and other assorted animals. I love being around dogs the most and treat everyone's pet as I would my own. Walks, play-time, dog-sitting, or check-ins - whatever you need, I'm your guy! I work remote 2 days a week and I'm home (alone) every day starting around 6pm. Taking care of your pets would help me fill my time with some good company! I can't house any pets at my residence, but I'll respect any and all guidelines for pet care at your home, the park, or any walk we go on.

About: I’m a dog lover who’s all about giving your pup lots of love, play, and care while you’re away. I live in an apartment building right near tons of green spaces and parks, so there’s always a great spot nearby for walks or playtime. I’ve got experience training puppies and I’m great with senior dogs who need a little extra TLC. Every dog gets plenty of attention, belly rubs, and walks tailored to their energy and personality. I’m currently taking some time off, so I have plenty of free time every day to give your pup all the attention and playtime they need. Whether it’s long walks, fun games at the park, or just cuddling around the apartment, I’m here to keep your furry friend happy and active throughout the day. Your dog won’t feel lonely or bored when they’re with me and my rescue pup Zoë! I provide loving, personalized care whether your pet stays with me or I visit them at home. In my home, your dog will enjoy a safe, cozy environment with plenty of playtime and walks around nearby parks. For in-home visits, I stick to your pet’s usual routine to keep them comfortable and happy, including feeding, potty breaks,


“Peter is so reliable and was so good to my fur babies! This is the longest that I have left them and not once did I worry that they weren’t in good hands. Peter will be booked again and I feel happy that I am able to leave them in the comforts of their home. Communication was proactive and regular, Peter is so great to work with.”


“Thaina did a great job watching our 2 cats over a long weekend. She kept our home clean and was very responsive in her communications when one of our kitties wasn’t feeling well one morning. We felt reassured she was keeping a watchful eye on their health while we were gone.”

“Rachel was a great cat-sitter! She watched Lily while we were on vacation, and eventually got our scary-cat to come out of her shell. Rachel took very good care of our cat, and even took care of the houseplants. I will definitely hire her the next time we go on a trip!”

Haywood Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Annie is an excellent sitter and I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of sitting/walking/drop-ins. It's very easy to see that she is passionate about her work and truly loves the animals she cares for. I am a very anxious pet parent and I feel very safe leaving our babies in her care :) Very quick to respond to messages at any time of day and takes loads of great pictures at every visit. Thanks again, Annie!

Erika was extremely easy to work with for our only cat! We had a meet and greet in person ahead of our weekend get away trip. She came with the warmest smile and a friendly attitude. And did everything we asked her to do to the T. We are always anxious to leave our cat home alone, but Erika really provided us peace of mind while we were away, and for that we are so grateful for her help! High recommended!

As always, Jennifer was so amazing with my two kitties on my recent trip! They are normally very shy with people besides me but they are so relaxed and engaged when Jennifer visits. I come home to two very happy and content cats. It makes me feel so much better about leaving them when I travel, knowing they are in such capable hands. Thank you!!

After having the hardest time finding someone to help walk my fur baby overnight, Amber and her Partner were life savers. Sending many pictures and leaving the sweetest notes, my Ponyo has made great new friends! We look forward to rebooking and seeing them again soon!

Alessandra was wonderful taking care of our anxious, senior dog. She was easy to communicate with and very responsive. She arrived a little early to both bookings and when we returned home our dog was happy and relaxed. She was great about sending updates and cute pictures of our dog. It's obvious Alessandra is very comfortable around dogs and her calm, sweet energy was perfect for our little guy. I highly recommend her and would definitely book her again.
