“Emma helped us out twice for last minute drop in visits when we had some emergencies in the family, and our usual sitter wasn't available. We have 4 dogs of various ages and needs-levels, and Emma was great with them. I wouldn't hesitate to book Emma again!”

“We were very leery about having someone come into our home while we were gone, but we knew it was the best place for our babies to stay. Leanne went above and beyond to make not only us comfortable, but our daughters comfortable too! Our 7 year old loves her Princess more than anything and Leanne was great with her! Marley is 14 and needs medicine twice a day, Princess is a rescue and she went through a lot before she became part of our family. Because of that she still has a hard time with new people, before the week was out Princess was laying in her lap! She sent pictures twice a day and she was great with our babies. I would recommend her to anyone, in fact I already have recommended her to my sister! Thank you Leanne!”

“Excellent service! I was nervous to leave my 14yr old dog, Belle, alone for a week because she never had a sitter outside of family members, but she loved Isabel and Isabel was great with her! I couldn’t be happier with the level of care she provided to Belle. I highly recommend her and hope to have her watch Belle again in the future!”

“Ally was fantastic! She stepped in at the last minute to help, was super self sufficient, provided us great updates and loved our sweet puppy during her visits! We will definitely book her again :)”

“Piper was so great with my senior (16) and teenage (5) dogs! Even when it was raining heavily, she made sure they pottied and gave them a good pat down to make sure they weren’t too cold. I’ll definitely ask her to watch them again soon.”

“Maimee is great, always responsive and self efficient which is very helpful when on work trips when I can’t get to my phone etc.! Our building can be confusing with parking and security but she does great with everything! Pets and all that comes with it! 😄”

“Stephanie was absolutely wonderful! She was available to help me last minute during a family emergency, and made leaving my pup so much easier. Her communication was great, and she went above and beyond. I would definitely recommend her and plan to use her again!”

About: I grew up with a family dog who was a shih tzu and poodle mix. Now, I work with furry friends of all types: from those who need a little extra attention to the most easygoing pets! Does your pet need medicine 3 times a day? I do that. Does your dog have leash aggression or very specific likes and dislikes? I've dealt with that too. Separation anxiety? Check! Senior dogs struggling with incontinence? I'm here to help. Currently, I offer house sitting (taking out trash, plant care, etc), drop ins, pet sitting (2-3 walks, medicine if applicable, feeding, play time), pet walks, and feeding. I can sometimes accommodate last minute bookings and am available most holidays and weekends. I offer pet sitting in my client's home to keep pets in the environment where they feel safest. I will collaborate with you to see what works best for your pet and their home. I love pets and can spend a little extra time with them if you're worried about them being left alone. I know each dog and cat is different, so I'm happy to adjust to make sure they feel safe and comfortable!
About: Hi! I’m Alexa, a lifelong dog lover who genuinely loves spending time with animals. I previously offered dog boarding through Rover, so I have plenty of experience caring for dogs with different personalities, routines, and needs. Now, I’m focusing on dog walking and drop-in visits! Whether your pup needs a midday walk, some playtime and attention while you’re away, or a little extra company during the day, I’d love to help. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, give your pup lots of attention, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re gone. I currently am looking for full-time work so I have open availability for Rover pups! I am available any day throughout the week and on weekends. I have a fenced in yard where dogs can play for as long as they want and a small dachshund that loves playing with other dogs. He is older so it takes him a minute to understand what playing is but once he understands a dog wants to play with him he's all in. He also understands when a dog does not want to play and typically just lays in his bed when he wants to relax. I also let dogs on the couch so they can hang with us! (Unless you prefer they stay off the furniture. I want to keep patterns the same whether at my house or yours!)
“Alicia was great. Super communicative and made us feel super comfortable! She took great care of our cat Apollo and I’m very appreciative of her and will be definitely reaching out to her again!”

“Olivia is the best. I had to go back to work while my pup was still recovering from getting fixed. Her nursing background made her the perfect choice. She is always on time and is meticulous about following care instructions. Highly recommend!”

“Sophia has been the best care taker for my kitty that I have ever had! She is so communicative and you can tell how much she genuinely cares about your pet. All of the photos and updates!! 10/10 recommend”

“Hannah is great with both of my dogs! She goes above and beyond to make sure they’re comfortable and well attended. She even let me add last minute visits/drops ins when my flight was delayed and I got stuck out of town for an extra day. Will definitely be booking services with her again!”


“Ashley was amazing. My pup, Ralph, loves her. I had to travel for work last minute and was nervous about what to do with my dog. After meeting with Ashley and introducing her to Ralph I felt so much better about leaving. She left an update with pictures every trip and he looked like he was living the life! Seeing how comfortable Ralph was made me so happy. It was my first time going through Rover and Ashley made my experience very comfortable and easy! Highly recommend and would go through Ashley again!”

“Lisa is the best pet sitter we’ve ever had! It’s so nice to be able to go away and not worry about the care our cat is receiving. You can tell she genuinely cares about the well being of our cat, which means so much to us! She’s always communicative, responsible, flexible and very trustworthy.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Melrose
Angela is reliable and diligent, and the cats clearly felt comfortable with her. She sent pictures of them sitting in her lap and asking for treats. She also kept me informed, and asked questions whenever they came up. I would happily have her cat sit again in the future.

Professional, kind, on time, she was actively engaged with our puppies. Not on her phone or in the bathroom for half the visit. We have her booked for the next two out of town trips this summer. Thank you Olivia for your flexibility! -Courtney and Micheal Early, Colonel, Rusty
