“I can’t thank Brianna enough for the amazing care she gave to both my pup Gigi and my home while I was out of the country. From our initial meet and greet, Brianna was sweet, pleasant, and radiated an aura of calm and kindness that instantly put me at ease. I just knew Gigi would be in safe, loving hands—and I was absolutely right. Throughout my time away, Brianna kept me fully updated with all the photos and videos I requested, which gave me so much comfort. It truly warmed my heart to see how well Gigi was being loved and cared for. Brianna went above and beyond, not only with Gigi but with my apartment as well—everything was left clean and tidy, which I so appreciated. Brianna, thank you for treating my baby like your own. You’re truly one of the best out there, and I’m already looking forward to booking you again the next time I’m away!”
“Anais is the best!! My boyfriend and I went on our first long trip away from our puppy, Anais sent lots of pictures and videos every day. She was very responsible and responsive to our texts.

About: I'd love to meet your dog or cat and you can trust I'll treat them like my own. I know how to keep them safe and happy while you're away. I'll send you a good photo too my camera roll is mostly all photos of dogs. Please do not hire me if you crate your dog, I won't do that. I work freelance so my availability is flexible. I prefer we conduct a meet and greet first, to make sure your pet is comfortable with our plans! Walks and care provided in clients home only, I can't provide boarding. I will be sure we establish comfort in our meet and greet, please be sure to provide vet information in case of any unexpected emergency.

“Paloma goes above and beyond. She’s incredibly sweet with my senior rattie and prioritizes his comfort. Her updates are very thorough and come with lots of pics, which I appreciate. I trust her without a doubt.”
“Shakira was absolutely amazing, not only did she take great care of my lil fur baby but she sent plenty of photos and her communication was great. I will hopefully use Shakira anytime I need a sitter. If your thinking about booking Shakira as a sitter DO IT !!!!!”
“Samantha was marvelous! I’m always nervous leaving my 9yo wheaten terrier, as she’s been known to get kind of cranky and snarly around other dogs. However, Samantha assured me she felt comfortable with my high-maintenance fuzzy friend. She sent regular photos and updates throughout my week-long trip, and always responded quickly whenever I’d reach out. My place was very clean when I returned and, most importantly, my dog seemed happy and relaxed. I’ll definitely reach out to Samantha again for upcoming trips!”

“We had the best experience with Carlie! Her and Ani (her pup) stayed at our house for the week while we were on a family trip. Our boy Leo is a Great Dane and she was amazing with him. Not everyone can handle big dogs. I felt at ease with Carlie at our home. I got frequent updates and pictures too! The house was well maintained and in the condition we left it in. 5+ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐✨”
“Anna was amazing in every way. She is kind, communicative, responsible, and was amazing with my dog, even when he was being less than angelic (he gets it from me). I would highly recommend her to anyone - she is wonderful and a pleasure to work with. I trust her 100%!!”

Hyde Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Samantha has walked our dog several times before but this was our first time having her house sit to take care of our dog and cat while we were on vacation - she did an incredible job! Clear communication, regular updates and left our place clean. Would love to have her back :)
Monica was amazing with my kitten Stormie while we were away for the weekend. She responded very quickly and was able to arrange a meet and greet with us under short notice as well. I got update pictures and videos over the course of the weekend, so I always knew my baby was in good hands. She also left our apartment in perfect condition (which you can imagine is not easy with a kitten). I would 1,000% recommend Monica for any pet sitting as she definitely took the stress out of the whole weekend ♥
Brianna is so amazing, would 100% recommend her to take care of your pet! She is so kind and asked many great questions about our pet and home at our meet and greet. She took care of our dog for over two weeks and sent daily pictures and updates. She played with him, took him on long walks and brushed him. Our dog clearly loved her and her communication made us feel so reassured on our trip! She also left our place very clean. We are so lucky to have found her!
Laurel was SO great to my pup!! My dog can be a bit anxious around new people, but she warmed right up to Laurel and it made my trip away a breeze. I was super impressed by her frequent updates, and just going above and beyond to make my pup feel cared about. 10000/10 recommend Laurel!
Alexis took such wonderful care of our two young cats over the holiday weekend, my fiancé and I were truly impressed. She was highly respectful of our home, and our feisty shorthand got more snuggly with her than she typically does with at least one of her parents! I would recommend Alexis to any cat parent and we'll certainly look to book her for our next petsitting need.
Staci was amazing with our animals during our recent 9 day vacation. She stayed nights at our house to take care of our two cats and our energetic dog. She took wonderful care of them and was able to get our elderly cat to eat and take her pills. We highly recommend using Staci to care for your cats or dogs!
Henry watched our girls and home for 2 weeks while we were out of the country. The girls loved spending time with him and Henry sent us regular updates throughout our trip. He instantly bonded with our pups on a previous trip and the girls were super excited to see him. When we returned the pups were happy, well cared for, and the house was clean/organized. It is great to know that we are leaving the girls in good hands and I’m sure the pups are looking forward to the next time they get to see Henry!
Viola made us feel so comfortable and at ease with her care for Champ AND our home. She is an inherent pet lover and nurturer and she makes sure she goes above and beyond to make both you and your pet feel safe. She even cleaned up the apartment before leaving without us even asking! We will definitely be asking her back to watch our “son”.
