“Maggie was super responsive about taking care of Shadow. She did an amazing job both meeting her needs and communicating everything to me so I would feel very comfortable that she was in good hands while I was gone!”
“Aimee has watched my puppy multiple times and she has always been great with her. She takes lots of pictures and keeps me updated the whole time. My schedule is always changing and she is very understanding of that and flexible with my hours.”
“Iryna was a wonderful sitter for my cat. She was very communicative and thorough. Maybe even more impressive, she engaged with my demanding, geriatric cat during her visits, getting her to play a little each day. My cat approved of her as well, eventually bestowing the great honor of letting Iryna pet her.”
“Whitney was able to accommodate my request at the last minute and went above and beyond in caring for my two 6 month old kittens. I appreciate her and would book with her again.”
“We needed someone on short notice and Alexandria responded immediately. She was friendly, easy to communicate with, and made the process stress-free. She was great with our 8-month-old rescue, Poppy, who’s still adjusting and can be reactive on leash. Alexandria was patient and understanding, handling Poppy thoughtfully. We loved the photos and report card after each visit and would definitely book Alexandria again—Poppy would be happy to see her too!”
“Dominique is amazing. He looked after our three legged dog during the Christmas holidays, visiting three times a day. He understands and cares about dogs with special needs. Highly recommended!”
“Melissa did a phenomenal job taking care of our cats. She was very communicative and made sure to follow our routine. We look forward to hiring her again!”
“Tiffanie did an amazing job watching our cat Pekoe while we were away. Pekoe doesn't usually take well to new people, but she warmed up to Tiffanie right away. She followed all of our instructions perfectly, made plenty of time to play with and give affection to Pekoe, and gave us regular and thorough updates with each visit. Would highly recommend Tiffanie as a trustworthy sitter and we’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“I’ve had Tara drop in on our little ham for a few times already. I can always count on her to make sure pixel gets taken care of. Thank you for being flexible!”
“Emma is a wonderful cat sitter! Our boys can be super particular, but she did a great job of endearing herself to them. Super attentive, responsive, and pleasant to work with. Would book again in a heartbeat!”
“Spencer and Julia were so kind, responsive, and absolutely amazing with my dog! Loved loved loved the photos they sent - cannot recommend them enough!”
“Ethan was awesome! He took such great care of our cat and provided great updates during our trip. He’s super friendly, and our cat seemed to love him! Would definitely book again.”
“Heather is great. We had to leave town with our cat starting a swollen eye. Heather gave reports to keep us posted on her condition and we felt very comfortable that the cat was in great hands. The cat is super shy so there was nothing Heather could do orher than to give us reports, which she did at every visit.”
“Michael was so patient with my shy and reactive kitty. He tried multiple methods to engage with her and knew when to give her space. He followed my instructions very closely and I was very comfortable trusting him with my pet.”
“Paul was responsive and incredibly communicative. I needed to take a last-minute international trip. Within a few hours, we were able to schedule a time for Paul to take care of Clementine. I am definitely using his services again the next time I have to travel.”
“Brittany was great and Kramer loved her!! She was also so helpful with Kramer’s special instructions (since she was just spayed)! We will definitely use Brittany again!”
About: I personally cared for my senior dog for the last several years of his long (16 yrs!) and wonderful life. Since he passed last year, I’ve helped neighbors with their dogs while they were out at work and I’d love to help you! Whether that’s coming by to play with them in their home or taking them for a good long walk, I’ll ensure your dog is safe and cared for. I work from home and am flexible on timing. I’m a pro with older dogs and am happy to administer medications (I’ve done it all) or simply be patient as they meander down the sidewalk. I work remotely and am very flexible. Overall I have very few meetings where I need to be home at a certain time. My schedule changes weekly but is on the whole very flexible. Happy to do mornings or after work as well. If on a walk, I will always keep your pet a safe distance from hazards and move at their desired pace. I will keep them separated from other pets we encounter unless you have a conversation with me indicating otherwise. Their safety and enjoyment is my top priority!
Lyon Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
She was very responsible and took great care of my pet during the visit. She arrived on time, followed all the instructions carefully, and made sure everything was clean and well organized. I really appreciate her help and would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a reliable pet sitter.
Nicole took care of our senior bunny for 3 days and she provided really great, detailed reports that put our minds at ease! Always stressful to leave a pet, but particularly a senior rabbit, so we don’t do it lightly and really need someone solid to sit! Really appreciated all the care and effort she put into her time with us and will look to book her again next time we’re away!
Morgan was great! She took care of every detail while we were gone and was diligent about learning our kitten’s routine before we left. Our kitten got super comfortable with her and we loved seeing the photos of our kitty in the visit updates along with notes about how much he ate, playtime, etc. We look forward to using her again in the future!
Matt was a fantastic walker for our two large labradors for a few days while we couldn't handle as many walks. Matt came to the house before the first day to find out the details and to confirm that he was comfortable with 2 large dogs, and then he did a great job all four of the days. Really knows dogs. We hope to be able to use Matt again in the future!
Jennifer has watched my cat Malone for the past couple of months and we love her! Now she has watched both of our animals, and done a great job with communicating and giving them the attention they beg for all the time. Having Jennifer to rely on especially last minute at times is super helpful and we are grateful! Ivy and Malone love her!
Isabelle and Diego were absolutely perfect! They took amazing care of my cats and made the whole experience completely stress-free while I was away. They were super communicative, responsible, and clearly cared a lot about making sure my cats were happy and well looked after. I felt really comfortable knowing they were in such good hands. I would absolutely book them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and thoughtful pet sitters!
