“Dominique is an exceptional dog sitter! He took amazing care of our large, active dog, managing his energy with ease and ensuring he was happy and well-exercised throughout his stay. Dominique is a fantastic communicator, always prompt and clear in his updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. He truly went above and beyond—not only taking excellent care of our pup but also helping out around the house, like taking out the garbage. We couldn’t recommend him more highly and will definitely book him again!”
About: I have taken classes in dog behaviors and how they act when they might need a particular action done. I have a NAPPS certification, which is National Association of Professional Pet Sitters that is earned for all small animals, both including dogs and cats. I have had my own very young puppy, so I know how to handle and train them in a gentle manner that they will respond to. I have tons of experience in senior dogs and cats, so I am patient to more slow animals or paying attention to them more and making sure they have what they need. I have an extremely open schedule and can stay over for longer periods of time than most people. I am free almost every single day for hours on end, so finding when I can come over is no trouble. I’m easy to schedule if I need to house sit, and am extremely responsible and willing to stay overnight when needed. I love taking care of animals in their own homes, knowing they’ll feel the most comfortable surrounded by their familiar surroundings. The only thing I care about is that your furry companions are safe and cared for in a way that they don’t feel out of place or missing the love they got before you left them in my care.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was young. I’m a live-in nanny, and the dogs I care for also babysit. When their owners are away, they sleep with me in bed. I love taking them for walks outside. I’ve trained them to listen to me in both Thai and English. I have experience walking dogs outside. I have over five clients who trust me to walk their dogs. I’m usually available from 8:30 AM to 1:30 PM on weekdays (Except Tuesday), and after 8 PM on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Occasionally, I’m free all day on Saturdays. Additionally, I’m available after 1 PM every Sunday. I’d be delighted to take care of your dogs or walk them around your neighborhood. For my host family’s dogs, I walk them on weekdays and take care of them 24/7 when their owner is away. I take them out to the backyard or front yard so they can have some freedom.
“Maria did a wonderful job caring for my cat while I was away! She is such a kind and calming presence, which I know put my cat at ease without me there. Updates were frequent and very detailed, giving me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend booking with Maria and I for sure will be again!”
“Josie took care of our two cats Darcy and Noodle, and we only have good things to say. She gave them all the attention, pets, and brushes they could want.”
“My first experience of rover, Kelly was super kind, caring, and comforting to my 2 kitties. they are both pretty shy and timid for newcomers and she made both of them feel safe. definitely will want to visit with Kelly again!”
About: I am very patient & always walk that extra mile for our little ones . The only real love comes from our pets . M My schedule is flexible . As long we communicate we can adjust any time . I'm also on time and never would cancel a walk I am very patient with dogs & also have experience providing medications and always try to find the easiest way to give it to them without pain.
“Aislyn was wonderful with our puppy Scout. She was super responsive, on-time, and provided great pictures and write-ups of our visit. That was especially important to us as Scout is our first puppy and we were nervous about leaving her home alone for the first time. Scout always looked so happy in the pictures and when we came home from work!”
“Very nice and professional. Amber went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were comfortable with her. Our hyper pitbull puppy wasn't to much for her. Both dogs took a liking to Amber immediately. Both were fighting for her attention. My wife and I definitely will use Amber again.”
“Dow speaks "dog" very well, and our two large dogs quickly recognized a dog lover! Dow's experience with senior dogs was also immediately apparent, and his patience and care with our older dog were much appreciated. We were also grateful for Dow's frequent communications and updates on how the dogs were doing - and he takes great pictures! We highly recommend Dow!”
“Daniel did great with our shy and cautious dog. He warmed up to him surprisingly quick, which we took as a great sign. Daniel left the home clean and did everything as instructed. His daily drop-in notes were informative and thorough. We would definitely book him again in the future.”
“This was my first time working with Spencer and I felt comfortable to trust him with my cat and home visits right away. As promised, he did a fantastic job, sending numerous photos and a summary after each home visit. I would definitely work with Spencer again anytime.”
“Maggie is so kind and wonderful with my two cats. She’s so thoughtful and detail oriented and I really appreciated her help while we were away. Maggie is a great rover!”
“Lexy and Robert were super awesome caring for my sweet baby Nova. They were very responsive and always made me feel like she was in good hands. My go-to in Clarendon!”
“Yiting has been so great as a cat sitter. She shares lots of updates about how the cats are doing and whether they're eating. We get tons of photos of our cats and videos, which is super reassuring.”

Haley looked after my cat for 9 days and was a great caretaker and followed instructions. I have a very shy and skittish cat but she made the effort to try to play with him if he was willing. She kept me updated on whether he was eating or any unusual behaviors. I’d definitely recommend her as a sitter for any cats!
Yiting is a fabulous sitter and took great care of my kitties. She was prompt, played with them a ton, administered the insulin shots for one of my girls without issue, and contacted me when she had questions. Yiting is clearly an animal lover and I highly recommend her services to everyone.
We've used Ameera a couple times now and she is awesome. Very communicative, and you can tell she really cares about our kitties. She's good with complex instructions and adapts well to the unconventional routines that keep our boys happy. Ameera is the first person we think of when we need someone to check in on our cats.
