“Our first time using Rover and glad we found Leesa! I appreciate her kindness, she is great to work with and the dogs warmed up to her instantly. We will definitely rebook in the future!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for a variety of animals throughout my life. I’ve had dogs, cats, a parakeet, hamsters, gerbils, rats, ferrets, fish, a bearded dragon, and a red tail boa. I LOVE animals. When I was a kid I would even spend my weekends at our local pet shop holding and playing with their animals. I am a mother of two teenagers, and have been a small business owner, so I am extremely responsible, reliable, caring, attentive to detail, and have the skills to do anything necessary to care for your pets. I am available most of the time, and my time is flexible. I recently sold my half of my small business and am now taking some time for myself (that I want to fill with animals!), so I am almost always available and flexible. We have a fenced in yard, but we also live in a beautiful historic neighborhood and love taking walks around the neighborhood and to the park as often as possible.
“Katharine did a great job taking care of my cat and they definitely got along well. She left the house very clean and organized when she left and went the extra mile to make sure Zilla was comfortable and cared for when we got home late.”
“Erin is very conscientious and professional. Took great care of Rocko and our home while we were gone and communicated well throughout her stay. Would definitely use her services again!”
“Monroe was INCREDIBLE. This was my first time ever leaving our animals with a pet sitter and so I was very anxious, but Monroe helped calmed my nerves. She was very responsive to messages, sent tons of pictures of the animals daily, and took great care of them. All my animals loved her! I came home to a clean house and our mail brought in, which we didn't even ask her to do. We will definitely use Monroe to watch our animals again!”
“Lisa was phenomenal. She not only eased my anxiety while away, but our dogs were also kept calm and happy in her care. Lisa went above and beyond with her daily updates that included photos and/or videos of our fur babies. She stayed in our home and also took good care of that, too! Lisa was professional, kind, and honest. I absolutely look forward to working with her again and would recommend her to anyone in search of a reliable, compassionate dog sitter.”
“Elisa was lovely! Easy to communicate with and very clearly loves dogs. She took very good care of our 3 month old puppy and our 6 year old German Shepherd, so she is well versed in dogs big and small. She sent lots of photos and I could tell my girls were happy and comfortable with her. We will absolutely ask Elisa back!”
“Tyler was amazing! The pups didn’t seem to miss us at all. She was attentive and provided photos frequently without any prompt. Will definitely be using her again for our pups.”
“Emma always takes amazing care of our girl! She sends pictures while we are gone for a week and even sends pictures when she just comes to walk her during the middle of the day while we are at work. She even did a little art project with Piper to give to us as a gift for engagement. We moved to Dayton a year ago and Emma is the best thing that has happened to us since then! Piper always seems in the best spirits when we get home and we know she is well loved while we are gone. We are so lucky to know Emma and always leave home knowing our dog is in the BEST hands.”
“We can't say enough great things about Isabella! We have a newer rescue pup who is still working on his potty training skills, so we really wanted to find someone who was willing to stay close during a weekend that we were away. Not only did she keep us thoroughly updated each day, but we came home to an even cleaner home than we left and a VERY happy doggy! Isabella took wonderful care of both our sweet boy and our home, and helped us continue the structure and training we had implemented. She was attentive, patient, and went above and beyond what we expected. Overall, a fantastic choice for our first weekend away from our little man! We are so grateful for her top notch care and would hire her 100x over. Book her ASAP! :)”
“Carol was amazing! Sent lots of updates and communicated the entire process while she watched my old fur baby! She was very thorough, flexible and detail oriented and took amazing care of my dog. Would use again . My dog felt right at home with her and I could tell in the pictures he was well taken care of! She goes above and beyond! AMAZING”
“Brandon was so good with my animas. We had a problem with the heat in our house while he was there and he dealt with it like a champ. He’s a great dog and house center. .”
“Ben was great. Took care of our babies as well as we could have and they were sad when he left. We have already booked him again and will do so as often as he is available in the future.”
“Mia is an absolutely phenomenal pet sitter for Maggie! She went above and beyond what we expected and actually stayed longer than we initially asked. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter and highly recommend her.”
“Alexis was great. she spent lots of time with the pups and made sure to adjust walk time to account for the heat. house was in great condition when I returned home. She also sent picture updates and let me know when she had arrived and before her final leaivng. already planning to book her again.”
“Dorothy was super communicative and accommodating after my sitter cancelled on us last minute. We will absolutely book her again. We got a lot of pictures and felt safe knowing our fur babies were taken care of!”
“Jonathan was great with our pup Rex! Rex seemed to have warmed up to him quickly which is amazing considering how old and grumpy he can be with strangers. Kept us updated and left the house cleaner than we left it! Thank you for loving our boy and giving us peace of mind on our vacation!”
Midtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
I cannot express how much I appreciate her care for my elderly dog. My poor dog was just prescribed some medicine that he needed to take as well and she handled everything. I was recently gone for 10 days and she managed to keep all my outdoor plants alive! That is not an easy task.
Erin is an exceptional dog sitter, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She takes wonderful care of my dog, Roxie, and always treats her as if she were her own. Erin keeps Roxie on her normal schedule, takes her on several walks each day, and makes sure all of her needs are met. It's such a comfort knowing Roxie is in caring, capable hands whenever I'm away. Erin is dependable, attentive, and clearly loves animals. Roxie is always happy, well cared for, and comfortable when she's with Erin. I am incredibly grateful for the care and attention she provides. If you're looking for a trustworthy and dedicated dog sitter, Erin is the best!
She was a phenomenal sitter! She kept us updated all day letting us know what was going on with our puppy. She was very understanding of all her needs. Watching a 14 week old puppy is not always easy! She was amazing and the communication was perfect. She is extremely warm, caring and trustworthy. Would definitely trust her with my pups!!!
Marin was so sweet, polite, and great with our 2 pups! She provided daily updates and photos which greatly eased my anxiety while away! She was responsive, adaptable and a true help. She stayed in our home and took great care of that, too! I would highly recommend Marin :)
Janice stayed at our house for a weekend taking care of our 16 year old miniature poodle Toby. She was very attentive to his needs and kept us abreast of any changes. She sent us pictures of Toby throughout the weekend. We would definitely recommend Janice to other pet owners and hope to use her again in the future.
Danielle was a FANTASTIC dog sitter. She took wonderful care of our puppy while we were gone. She followed all instructions and went above and beyond by being available for an extra day at the last minute and also by administering ear infection medication for our dog. She was very good about giving us updates and our house somehow looked better after she had stayed here. We plan to use her again for future dog sitting needs and walks. So happy to have found such a wonderful person to watch our pets. Thanks again, Danielle!
She is PHENOMENAL!!! I had her stay at my house for a week. I have 4 dogs and they were very taken care of. The house was left very clean too! She sent pics and updates daily and was very attentive and communicative. I will continue to hire her for all of our dog sitting request. I honestly couldn’t ask for anything more from her.. we love her!
What an amazing job from an amazing sitter! Christine was extremely polite, communicative, and always checking in with pictures and updates. She not only took care of Delilah, she took great care of the house! 100% recommended and 100% plan to rebook in the future. Thanks again!!
Molly was great with Jersey! This is my first time using this app and I was worried about leaving Jersey behind. Molly did a great job communicating and sending pictures and updates. I felt at ease and was able to enjoy my time away. I will use Molly for any future needs!! Thanks again :)
