“Dustin is wonderful. I often need to make last minute plans. Dustin always quickly responds to out request to let us know his availability. Our dog, Hank, is aging and Dustin takes such good care of him. I never need to worry as Dustin is 100% reliable. I highly recommend Dustin as he is the best of the best”
“Beth is fantastic! She was great with catering to our dog's specific needs, was very prompt and responsive, and sent lots of cute photos while we were away. Our pup just adores her. I will absolutely book with Beth again, and would recommend her to anyone needing care for their pups.”
“Luis and Sonya were friendly, reliable, and communicative. They responded quickly to all of my messages and gave me updates on how the cats were doing. I would absolutely recommend them, and hope to have their help again in the future! :)”
About: I have years of experience with dogs and pets, starting from growing up around animals to caring for neighbors’ and friends’ dogs. I’m comfortable with routine walks, basic commands, and following care instructions exactly as owners outline them. I also have experience with senior dogs and dogs who need extra patience and care. Pet care fits into my routine in a structured, consistent way. I plan my schedule in advance so I can give each pet my full attention without rushing. I keep a limited number of bookings to ensure walks and visits happen on time and aren’t treated as an afterthought. I’m especially reliable for recurring walks and drop-ins during the week, and I keep my calendar updated so owners always know my availability. If I accept a booking, I commit to it fully and build the rest of my day around that responsibility. I care for pets with a strong focus on safety, routine, and clear communication. Whether I’m in my home or a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, and any specific care instructions provided by the owner. I take time at the beginning of each visit to let the pet get comfortable, check collars, harnesses, and leashes, and make sure the environment is secure before starting walks or play. I keep doors and gates secured, avoid unsafe situations, and stay attentive at all times — especially around traffic or unfamiliar dogs. In a client’s home, I respect the space and leave it as I found it, while making sure the pet feels calm and cared for. After each visit or walk, I provide a clear update so owners know how everything went. My goal is always to create a safe, low-stress environment where pets feel comfortable and owners feel confident.
“Fantastic service! First time using Rover. Mel stood out from the rest . Glad I chose her. Very happy client and came home to an even happier kitty. Thanks Mel - Your purr-fect.”
“Georgia is great! Georgia was very communicative and so detailed in the updates. I appreciated how Georgia really tried to get to know my cat and give me the most descriptive updates. I arrived with my cat’s food and water bowls full and a clean litter box. Thanks again Georgia!”
“Tessa was amazing with our anxious dog, Polly. We recently moved to the area and were so happy to find someone that Polly was comfortable around. Tessa did drop ins for oral medication and potty breaks, and made sure that Polly got lots of love!”
“Michelle is a wonderful person. She is so good with Boo and always makes sure he is happy and that his little area is in ship shape. We also love her detailed and thoughtful visit reports!”
“Morgan was great! She replied quickly to my request, set up a meet and greet in a timely manner, noted all instructions for care for our dog, and provided great updates during her two visits while we were out. We'll definitely reach out to her again when we need help with caring for our girls.”
“Jazmin was a great pet sitter for my baby girls while I was away on a last minute business trip! She was super attentive and had excellent communication when she came to visit. Definitely recommend booking if you need someone to swing by for a few days!”
“Superb cat sitter! Jaclyn took the time to meet me before my trip, was very responsive to messages, and always sent informative updates from her check ins. Will definitely book again for future trips.”
“We have a feisty old kitty who is very hard to medicate. Andee has been more successful with medicating her than any other pet sitter we have tried! We are very grateful for Andee’s excellent animal care skills.”
“I HIGHLY recommend Svetlana! She is absolutely wonderful with our cat, who can be a little feisty and needs lots of play and attention. Svetlana does a wonderful job taking care of her while we’re gone and making sure she gets all of the exercise and attention that she needs. We were gone for 10 days at one point, and often our cat will break out in dermatitis when she’s stressed, and even after 10 days, she showed absolutely no signs of stress which I 100% contribute to Svetlana’s care and attention. Svetlana also brought in our mail, charged cat toys, and took wonderful care of our home while we were away, giving us daily updates and photos. I could not recommend Svetlana more!!!”
“Isabella is a treasure! My cat is a sensitive soul who demands a lot of attention and takes medication daily. Isabella asked super thorough questions during our meet and greet, followed all instructions, and took the cutest pictures and videos of him! We were kept well updated and able to enjoy our trip without fretting about him. She provided thoughtful care and we came back to a happy boy. Thank you!!”
“Holly is absolutely amazing! She made me feel so comfortable and trusting of her ability to care for my puppy. I really appreciate her kindness. Atlas was lucky to have such an awesome sitter! Holly did everything I requested and made my puppy so happy.”
“Samantha was a joy to work with. She was so kind and took such great care with Boo. We are so sad that she is moving out of the area and wish her the best of luck in all her endeavors! Thank you, Sam!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and feel very comfortable around them and very in-tune to their needs. I also worked for Midtown Mutts for a year prior to Covid and going back to school (many of the dogs I walked then are shown in my gallery). Not only do I view pets as family members and a whole lot of fun, I also view them as lifelong friends and would take special care that they are always safe, comfortable, happy, and loved! I am familiar with many different breeds and know what different needs this entitles for each. I am available for specific needs as requested by the owner, such as extra walks or special diets and will respect these. I love to take dogs on runs, to the dog park, or on long hikes if the owner permits. I hope you will consider me for your next dogsitting need! I am currently working from home and self-employed, so I am very flexible with my hours, available nights or weekends if needed, and can work around tricky schedules. I have a daily routine with my own dog and cat, so am very aware of pet routines and their importance. I care for pets by following their established routines as closely as possible and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and energy level, whether that means active play and walks or a quieter, more relaxed approach. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining consistency—feeding on schedule, refreshing water, administering care as instructed, cleaning litter boxes or pet areas, and providing companionship and enrichment. I respect the home and any specific instructions provided, and I make sure pets get attention, reassurance, and positive interaction while their owners are away. I am attentive to pet behavior and wellbeing, communicate clearly with owners, and will provide updates as requested so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. My goal is for pets to feel secure and cared for, and for owners to feel peace of mind.
Medical Center pet parents share their Rover experiences
Natalie is incredible as always! She not only took care of my own two cats but also my mother’s cat who was staying with me at the time. My mother’s cat is what I like to describe as a “grumpy old man” from anyone else he only accepts head scratches for a limited time but with Natalie he LOVES her!! I don’t know what it is but he was obsessed with her and my mother and I were shocked and so elated! We love seeing her updates on our cats and she does an amazing job as always!!
Rebecca was amazing! I could tell my dog was getting a lot of love and attention (so many sweet pics were taken) when I was away and I appreciated the long walks Rebecca provided. She was flexible and easy to coordinate with as well. I would definitely recommend her and will be booking again!
Jacob is great with my big dogs, small dogs and my cat. He always goes above and beyond and is very reliable. Our pets are always so excited to see him. He is trustworthy and amazingly kind. We even had a mess happen while I was traveling and he was so thoughtful and cleaned it for us.I cannot recommend Jacob highly enough!
We have had Elizabeth take care of our two kitties a few times now and has always done a fantastic job at watching over them. She provides plenty of thorough updates and photos of the kitties, letting us know they’re happy and healthy! Elizabeth goes above and beyond with caring for our kitties and we will continue to ask her for our cat sitting needs.
Shannon is our favorite cat sitter and caregiver. She is dependable and informs us twice daily on the activities of our 21-yr-old special family cat. We trust her with all responsibilities of care and safety of the home and cat when we are away, sometimes for two weeks at a time. Thank you Shannon.
Isabella is a treasure! My cat is a sensitive soul who demands a lot of attention and takes medication daily. Isabella asked super thorough questions during our meet and greet, followed all instructions, and took the cutest pictures and videos of him! We were kept well updated and able to enjoy our trip without fretting about him. She provided thoughtful care and we came back to a happy boy. Thank you!!
Natalie is awesome. Kolby (cat) is so much happier when I get home after a short trip. If I leave him for a day and.not have Natalie do a drop in, he is not happy. He will poo outside his litter box and he won’t come near me for a day or two to express his frustration. Since having Natalie, I’d come home to the sweetest cat, he snuggles like he missed me, not mad at me. Thanks, Natalie. You are Kolby’s forever Valentine 💌
