“Molly was incredibly proactive, warm, and communicative in taking care of our Hecate and Loki, being willing to meet them first because Hecate's a scaredy cat and so we wanted her to be comfortable with them, giving thorough and consistent updates, and made them feel relaxed while we were away! So lucky to have met Molly and Hecate and Loki look forward to future visits!”


About: About us 👋 Hey we’re Doug & Catherine and we’ve professionally fostered and taken care of dogs for the past 5 years. We also both grew up with dogs at home. We love that we get the ability to give dogs a safe and loving home (even if it’s just for a day!) We are comfortable leash training, helping dogs through any trauma and dealing with dogs who are timid around other animals or humans. We also don’t mind big or small! ✨BEFORE BOOKING PLEASE NOTE ✨ • If you’re a new client we kindly ask that you request one doggy daycare before booking any long term boarding to make sure it’s a good fit for everyone. We have many regulars who we’ve built strong relationships with and want to make sure we can do the same for any new pups too. • We only look after one rover dog at a time and also have no dogs of our own. So yours will be the only one in our home. Our schedule ⏰ We both work from home and have very flexible schedules so walks and potty breaks are all part of our daily routine and can be done whenever needed. We often go to parks morning and night to give your dog space to run and enjoy the outdoors. Our apartment 🏡 We have a large ground floor apartment with a backyard to give your dog lots of indoor and outdoor space. We have dog blankets, toys, yummy treats and a crate to make you dog feel right at home

“Riya was great & very communicative / timely with her drop ins. Would definitely contact her again for future cat sitting needs. Thank you for taking care of my babies, Riya!”


“Svenja is a delight to work with. She's reliable, personable, clearly cares about dogs. We got pictures and reports about how our dog was doing on their walks. Highly recommend her and plan to engage her to dogsit again.”


“Jessica is amazing! Helped take care of my pup last minute while following a long list of instructions I'd left her. She kept me up to date with detailed updates and I can't thank her enough. I'm going to be using her services again soon! Highly recommend.”


“The 3rd or 4th time I’ve hired David to watch my cat! He is super prompt and always provides great pics and my cat is very comfortable with him! 5 stars all around”


“Megan was 100% fab - she was my two cat babies’ first Rover sitter while I was out of town and they can’t stop meowing about her. It was obvious she cared for their well being and I felt comfortable being away and having her feed them, take care of their business, and give them the pets they demanded! (Photos to prove it!) Would definitely reach out to her first in the future. Thanks, Megan!”

“Becca is our go-to cat sitter, and she truly is the best!!! Our Ollie can be be a jerk and he has warmed up to her because of her patience. I never have to worry about him when we are gone, because he is well taken care of with her. Thank you Becca!!!!”


“Chloe did a great job taking care of our pet rabbit, Gus! She sent lots of photos each time she dropped in, made sure his water & food was refreshed with each visit and even cleaned out his litter box several times (and took out the trash!) Super attentive and thoughtful!”


“Mia was fantastic, super communicative and just cared so much for my cat Lilly. I loved the pictures she sent and my cat seemed so happy while I was away under Mia’s care. This was my first time leaving Lilly alone and was so happy with how great an experience I had with Mia. Would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!”


“Catie was a wonderful sitter for our cat. He is both shy and high energy and really came to think of Catie as part of his family. She really took the time to care and play with him making him happy and comfortable while we were away. She also sent fantastic photos. Whenever we leave she is absolutely our first choice and our cats as well!”

“So glad Angela was available for some drop in visits while I was away. We haven’t met in person, but she was very professional and kind via the app, and even left a sweet little gift for my cat, Puppy. I loved the peace of mind having Puppy in Angela’s care and receiving daily pictures. Both Puppy and I would recommend Angela, and we will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Thank you Angela!”

“Hire Rebecca. The unthinkable happened while we were away and the adjacent apartment caught fire. Rebecca immediately called us and was willing to do anything to ensure our cats were safe, including attempting to crate them to bring them to her own home. Fortunately moving the cats was not necessary, but Rebecca was calm and reassuring and I am so thankful to have had her there in this emergency!”


“Sophie was so great with my 8yo cat Herbie — he is so incredibly social and thrives with company so it’s always hard to leave him, but Sophie put me at such an ease. She sent the sweetest photo updates everyday and I could see how loved my cat felt and how well he was taken care of :) Will definitely rebook and highly recommend her if you’re looking for a sitter!”

Doug M.Star Sitter
“Doug is by far one of the topmost patient, caring, and attentive people I know! He is also very responsible and mature and I would not hesitate to have him pet sit for me at all. Additionally, his home is very spacious with a backyard and is ideal and safe for pets. He has had positive experiences with every dog and cat I have seen him interact with. Any dog from Rover will be very loved, well looked after, and overall in great hands with him!”
