“Christopher was very easy to communicate with and sent photos of my dogs throughout the week. He let me know when one of them didn’t seem to be eating normally and he was confident in handling it. My dogs came back happy and without issues.”

“My dog seemed comfortable and happy in all the pictures. He cuddled and enjoyed snuggle time, which is one of his favorite things to do. I think he’d enjoy staying here again. :-)”

“Kendra was amazing and I had great peace of mind knowing my dog was in wonderful hands. Communication was stellar: I got updates and multiple photos every day, and it was awesome to hear of his adventures while I was out of town. I recommend Kendra to anyone looking for a thoughtful, caring pet sitter and I for sure be back as a returning client.”

“Caroline and her mom Marilyn provided a comfortable and caring home-away-from-home for my sweet Leo. I was comforted and entertained by all the great photos Caroline took and forwarded while we were away, and it was evident that Leo was getting a lot of cuddling and ‘lap time,’ which was the main reason I chose to go with a pet sitter rather than a boarding kennel. Leo was so calm and content when we picked him up...I knew he had had a great time! Highly recommend! Thank you:)”

“Madison and Charlea were beyond what we could have hoped for in pet sitters. They took care of our fur babies just as we would have. They sent us multiple pictures everyday and I almost thought my dogs were never going to want to come home from having such a great time lol. I know my family and I went away on our vacation but the dogs were able to have their own vacation as well. I will absolutely use Madison and Charlea again for any of my pet sitting needs.”

“Joseph & Reanaleena we’re perfect! They were very professional and attentive. Giving me updates & pictures daily. My dog is more difficult than most and requires special attention and they handled it perfectly! I highly recommend! 5⭐️”

“Christian Provided to many photos during our pups stay with her. He came back tired from playing with her dog all weekend. Our Pup really seemed to enjoy himself and the environment Christian has. We felt constantly updated and in the loop on what our dog was up to (: great visit for us!”

“My chihuahua and I haven't been a part in forever. When my family and I went on a one week trip, I knew I had to find the perfect dog sitter. My dog is picky and I was worried, but she was immediately comfortable at crystals house. She is so kind and attentive, and became best friends with my chihuahua. She was comfortable around everyone in the household and very well taken care of. Will certainly be using her services in the future and am beyond thankful for her and her family. Thank you SO much”

“Mary was phenomenal to say the least. This was my first time using Rover so I was a little nervous. She was so kind to share her home with our dog. She showed him constant love and attention and sent regular updates to me. She even sent him home with some extra toys! Selfishly I wish I could keep her on retainer if I could. Lol but I will absolutely rebook for my next trip! I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter!”

“Sherrie was wonderful with Winnie. We met her before our trip and felt completely comfortable with her caring for W while we were away. She sent pictures and videos and is an excellent communicator. We will definitely have Winnie stay with Sherrie again.”

“Brenda was wonderful with my senior dog who needs a bit of extra care. My little one was comfortable and safe with her - and seemed very happy as well. My dog stayed at Brenda’s home. Brenda sent photos and text updates throughout the week. I highly recommend Brenda as a dog sitter!”

“She was able to take my dog on short notice and took great care of him. She responded quickly to messages and kept me updated, which I really appreciated. Thank you!!”

“She is the best! Meredith had so much fun I don’t think she even wants to come home😂 she took Meredith to the beach and even gave her a bath. We will definitely be booking again!”

“Koffee had a great time spending the night and I was able to enjoy a date night! Thanks and I look forward to Koffee hanging out with you in the future for daytime camps and overnight boardings.”

“The single best person! I trust her with my boys always. If it weren’t for the fact that we were moving states, I would never see a reason not to use Sammy as a dog watcher for our boys. We call it Camp Coy since her dog Coy is our boys’ best friend! I am heartbroken to leave. She has watched both of our large labs numerous times and she is an irreplaceable person.”

“Rachel and her daughter are the best dog sitters. Great caregivers and flexible. Great communicators. We’re repeat customers and they’re definitely our go-to now so long as they’ll have us!”

“Katya was amazing! She kept me updated throughout the whole process since several pictures and videos throughout the day and included his activities diet, etc. she was very friendly and personable. The neighborhood is very quiet and there are lots of other dogs. She has a dog herself who is also very friendly and my dog loved playing with overall great experience!”

“Our dog EeVee had a blast while staying with Carole & David for 3 days! She walked Ev, let her enjoy her sun bathing time outside securely, and safely socialized with neighbor pups. Most of all, Carole fed our pup with packed food, countless rubs and love :) She also updated us Ev’s daily photos and great communication. We couldn’t be happier with Carole taking care of our pup. Ev barely goes to boarding but we can tell she loves and trusts Carole. So do we the pawrents! We will for sure go back next time.”

About: What sets me apart from many sitters is my lifelong experience with animals and my ability to genuinely connect with them quickly — especially pets who may be anxious, shy, older, highly attached to their owners, or simply used to lots of companionship and attention. Over the years, I’ve helped care for foster litters of puppies and kittens requiring around-the-clock feeding, monitoring, and weight tracking alongside my best friend, who is a veterinarian. I also have veterinary technician and shelter experience, along with hands-on experience caring for senior pets, administering medications, reinforcing basic puppy training, and supporting animals with special routines, anxieties, or medical needs. I’m currently working with one of my own dogs in service dog training, and I’m also a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) who previously worked with pre-K children with autism using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. Both experiences have strengthened my understanding of behavioral reinforcement, nonverbal communication, patience, routine, trust-building, and adapting to different personalities and emotional needs. In many ways, both children and animals communicate heavily through energy, body language, consistency, and feeling emotionally safe, and I’ve found those skills help me connect especially well with animals of all temperaments. I’m also an avid walker and love spending time outdoors, taking long walks through the beautiful Riverside and Avondale neighborhoods, local parks, and nearby green spaces — especially when the weather cools down a bit. For more active dogs, I genuinely enjoy playtime, walks, fetch, and engagement throughout the day, while calmer pets usually find me just as happy to provide cuddles, companionship, and a peaceful environment. Because I operate my design company remotely and on my own schedule, I’m often able to spend extended time in the home providing companionship, supervision, structure, affection, and a calming presence throughout the day and overnight — not just quick drop-ins. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and creating an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. Because I own and operate my own boutique design firm, my schedule is highly flexible and allows me to work remotely from anywhere with a reliable internet connection. I’m also involved in tween mentorship and creative consulting, both of which I manage on my own schedule, making it easy for me to prioritize the needs and routines of the pets in my care. I’m naturally both an early riser and a night owl, so I’m available for early morning feedings and walks, late-night potty breaks, overnight companionship, medication schedules, and pets who simply feel more secure having someone nearby throughout the day and evening. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy the companionship, structure, and calm presence animals bring. Whether I’m working quietly from my laptop while keeping your pet company, taking breaks for walks and playtime, or providing attentive overnight care, I’m able to give pets far more presence and consistency than many traditional sitters with rigid work schedules. Safety, trust, and creating a calm environment are extremely important to me, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I have two friendly small dogs and cats of my own, so pets staying in my home should be comfortable around other animals and able to coexist peacefully. Our pets are very much part of the family and are welcome on furniture and beds, so I aim to create a relaxed, loving, home-like environment rather than a kennel atmosphere. I understand that every pet has different comfort levels, routines, and boundaries, and I take introductions, feeding, supervision, and transitions seriously to help everyone feel safe and comfortable. If a pet prefers to be crated or separated at times, I’m happy to accommodate those needs as well. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m highly respectful of routines, security, cleanliness, and household expectations. As a longtime homeowner and business owner myself, I understand the level of trust involved when someone gives access to both their beloved pets and their home. I’m conscientious about alarms, locked doors, medications, feeding schedules, potty routines, cleanliness, and communication. Because I work remotely from home in the Avondale area, I’m also able to provide a high level of flexibility, supervision, companionship, and overnight presence for pets who are used to having someone nearby throughout the day.
Murray Hill dog parents share their Rover experiences
Christian has watched my pup 3 times!! She’s picked him and and dropped him off each time and it’s seems like it’s always last min for me.. so I really appreciate here and my pup just seems very happy when I see him again! I have not met Christian personally but she sends me updates often and I just all around appreciate what she has done for me!

The single best person! I trust her with my boys always. If it weren’t for the fact that we were moving states, I would never see a reason not to use Sammy as a dog watcher for our boys. We call it Camp Coy since her dog Coy is our boys’ best friend! I am heartbroken to leave. She has watched both of our large labs numerous times and she is an irreplaceable person.

Hannah was absolutely incredible caring for our dog, Rogan, for nearly four weeks. Rogan was treated like part of the family, and it was clear he felt right at home. She sent multiple pictures almost every day. What really stood out was how thoughtful and caring Hannah is—when it was raining and outdoor play was limited, she even went out and bought Rogan a toy to keep him entertained. That is above and beyond! We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and we’re so grateful. We would trust her again without hesitation and recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pet.
Another amazing stay with Sherrie and her family :) my baby loves staying with her and I love that I don’t have to worry about him! You can truly tell she loves animals and treats her guests like they are her own! 🥰🩷 if you are looking for the right sitter, book here!!!!

We can't say enough good things about Brent and David. This was the first time our two, 8 1/2 year old Boxers have been away from us for 8 days. We had left them a day or two with our daughter in the past and through that experience, we discovered they don't eat for a day or two over separation anxiety and basically mope. Not the case here! These pups didn't miss a beat! Healthy appetite every day, plenty of exercise with walks and outdoor playtime, sofa lounging, treats, love, pets, full - hands-on attention and just happy. Our guilt and worry disappeared pretty rapidly after seeing the daily photos and video we received. We could not have dreamed or asked for better care of our fur babies. We can now take trips without concern and will always use Brent and David! Our dogs were loved. Highly recommend, A+, Five Star #happyfurbabies #BrentandDavid #Rover

Marie came to the rescue last minute when a sitter cancelled on me. She provided excellent care for my lab. She’s very communicative, sent pictures/videos daily, and treated my dog as her own. Very friendly and would definitely contact her again to watch my dog if I’m back in the area. Can’t say enough good things!

Michael did an amazing job boarding my dog for the week. He kept me updated, made sure my dog was well cared for, and treated her like family. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in great hands. Highly recommend Michael to anyone needing reliable and caring pet boarding!
