About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats from a young age and have also been a loving dog mom to many boxers! I’ve moved far from home and have been missing my dogs, I am excited to watch and care for any dogs or cats in the area, promising to take good care of them and make sure they feel loved! I currently work full time during the week but I am available evenings during the week and any time on weekends for walks and to play with your pets! During the weekdays I am available after 4pm. I have a long history of walking and caring for dogs. When caring for dogs or cats in your home or when taking them on walks I will be sure to take precautions in order to keep your pets safe and happy.
“Mei was wonderful and punctual with my kitten and 4 year old kitty - i really appreciated all her help for their first extended period of time alone together without me there!”
“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!”
“Andrew was great! He was very communicative with us about our cats and sent pictures during every check in. I am so glad our babies were well taken care of and know that your fur babies are in great hands with Andrew.”
“Melissa is the ideal pet sitter, hands-down. She took care of my two cats for a full week, and kept me updated with multiple pictures and lots of details every day. When my guilt over being away so long got the better of me, she agreed to give them extra love and attention which made us all happy! Melissa also managed their care through multiple days of a boil-water emergency, made sure the litter box stayed clean, checked the apartment for little surprises, and took out all the trash. Much of this wasn’t even specified, Melissa just took the initiative, which says so much about the care she provides. Five stars +!”
“This was our first time using Rover, so were a little nervous. Diego and Isabelle were great. Their communication was excellent. They came to feed and visit our two cats twice a day, and even our shy girl cat warmed up to them. We have already booked them for another long weekend.”
About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and have raised mine from puppies. I’ve also happily walked, house-sat for, and boarded friends’ dogs in times when I didn’t have one of my own. I’m planning a career transition and will be working on a personal creative project, so I will have a flexible schedule to respond to pet parents’ needs during busy work days. Regular walks are important for a happy and healthy pup! When I walk my own dog, I follow routes that will keep us both safe and am always careful in any interactions with other dogs, especially if we don’t know them. I’d do the same for your pet and abide by any specific instructions you might have!
About: I grew up with dogs and have a deep love for them, even though I don’t currently have one of my own. This gives me an extra dose of excitement when I get to spend time with other people’s dogs! I understand the care, attention, and energy dogs need, and I’m dedicated to providing a safe and fun environment for your furry friend while you're away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine! With a flexible schedule, I make sure to prioritize my pet’s needs. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, feeding, or grooming, I adapt my day to ensure they’re happy and healthy. I enjoy incorporating their care into my activities, making it a fun and rewarding part of my life! I offer drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting right at your place, since my apartment isn’t the best setup for watching pets. During drop-ins, I make sure your pet gets fed, has fresh water, and some quality playtime. For walks, I focus on keeping them active and happy. And when I’m pet sitting, I stick to a routine that includes feeding, play, and plenty of love. I want your pets to feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away! If your dog is VERY strong and pulls A LOT, I absolutely require a meet and greet to make sure I can safely walk with them on a leash if leash walking is required. Also if payment for parking is required. I will request reimbursement.
“Angela is the best sitter I could ask for. She is so great with my cat, Bonnie. They have quickly become best friends. She is communicative, kind, and has gone the extra mile time and time again. I highly recommend anyone looking for a caring and friendly sitter to book with Angie”
“Hannah took such great care of our cat while we were away. She was very communicative which put us at ease. It was really important to us to find a sitter who specifically enjoyed being around cats and Hannah was definitely that person. We could tell our cat looked forward to her visits which made us feel better about being away. We would definitely book with her again!”
“We have been so pleased with Jessica! She is patient with our puppy and an excellent communicator. We always get lots of detailed updates & photos and she is always on time! I can tell she really enjoys spending time with our animals.”

Lyon Village pet parents share their Rover experiences
Taylor is AMAZING!!! She was on time with her visits, and sent us great photos and notes. She went above and beyond when we had an issue with our lock and had to call a locksmith. She was great at communicating, and was really concerned about Meech getting lonely or stressed during the whole locksmith ordeal. Honestly I think when we came home, he was disappointed that it was us and not Taylor. We could not have asked for a better dog sitter!
This was my second time booking Samantha, and she is so wonderful! She went above and beyond with my cat, who needed to be given medication and transitioned onto a new diet. Samantha gave very detailed updates which made me feel at ease and in the loop while I was out of town, and I know my cat felt happy and comfortable in her care.
Fia is absolutely fantastic! She is reliable and truly cares about my dog’s happiness and well-being. Every walk is more than just a quick trip outside, she gives my dog plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I can always tell how much my dog adores her, which gives me total peace of mind when I can’t be there. Fia also keeps me updated with photos and notes, which is such a thoughtful touch.
