“Margaret was a great sitter for our two boys, and our home while away. She was a reliable communicator, knowledgeable, and most importantly our animals felt comfortable with her! Thanks Margaret!”

“Cammie was fantastic! Responsible and communicative, I had no worries entrusting my senior dog to her care. He took to her immediately and I felt completely confident he was in good hands while I was away.”
About: I have experience working with dogs of all sizes, ages, and care needs both in a professional setting and as a pet owner! At my previous doggy daycare job, I walked, fed, administered medication to, and boarded with dogs. I also have cared for cats for 3 years and have some experience caring for birds (and absolutely love them! particularly cockatiels and conures) I currently am a full time student and have 2 days off during the work week thanks to online classes, so more time to care for pets! I live in a large apartment with no personal pets. Dogs would be crated when I’m in class (only a few hours a day, less than 6 usually) and free to roam when I’m home, with at least 2 relief walks a day. I have one female roommate who is also experienced in caring for dogs, but I will be the only one responsible for the dog’s care. Care at a client’s home would all depend on their personal preferences! I am comfortable sleeping over for any type of pet.
“Kristi was amazing with our crew !! She knew we had just taken in our Gracie as a rescue pug and gave her all the extra love and snuggles that she needed to feel safe and loved ....she spent lots of extra time in our home to ensure they didn't feel our absence even working remotely at our place which was great for our pugs/cats. She kept us informed of daily events and sent lots of snuggle snaps which made us feel better. Kristi even left us homemade biscotti for our return home. I can say with full confidence that Kristi is motivated by love of animals and helping others...we will most certainly hire her back to our home for all our Rover needs :)”

“Amoreena was wonderful with our two high-energy pups! This was our first time booking a house sit, and Amoreena put our minds right at ease. Super communicative with lots of pictures/videos/updates, which was so appreciated! Our golden actually had an unexpected medical emergency come up while we were away, and Amoreena acted quickly, calmly, and professionally with great care for our boy. Would absolutely rebook and recommend Amoreena!”

“Karah did an incredible job with my animals and house.I cannot recommend her highly enough.My animals are rarely left overnight much less for 2 weeks, my dog is fragile and requires medication 2x a day.They were happy; secure and healthy when we returned.”

“Diana was fantastic and we would 100% book her again. Our two dogs took to her quickly at our initial meeting, which put me at great ease. She stayed in our home for 3 nights with our 11 month old puppy and our 14 year old dog. They both have completely different personalities and needs. Diana sent us videos and photos of the dogs, and little updates each day. The house was also well taken care of and looked as if no one had been here. We were able to enjoy our trip without worry and knew the dogs were in good hands. I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter.”

“As always the dogs were well taken care of and Emalynn was a joy to have stay here. They miss her already! It is great to come home from vaca to happy fur babies. Thank you”

“Tyler was very thoughtful, communicative, and helpful the whole time I was away. I felt completely comfortable having him in my home . . . and based on the pics so did my dog Cooper :) would have Tyler back any time!”

“Nick was great in watching my dog, Remy, for over a week. He stayed at my apt, left everything clean, and made significant efforts to make Remy feel comfortable when I was away. Initially, I was nervous to leave my dog with a stranger but Nick's communication throughout his stay made me feel at ease. Would highly recommend his services to other dog owners.”

“Riley was very good and I would recommend him to annyone and use him again! I texted him daily to check on the pups and he always responded back! Very nice and I’m a nervous dog mom so he was great!”

“She was so amazing! Leah loved her so much I dont think she was as happy to see me lol She sent photos very often and i never wondered how Leah was doing.. Shes awesome and We will definitely be using her again in the future.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats before along with walking and giving them their medication if needed. I worked for a year at the Kitty Campus Shelter in Miami Beach I’m available on most days outside of saturdays when I volunteer. I usually can come in at any time whether it be early or staying over late. When caring for pets—whether in my home or a client’s—I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment tailored to their routine and personality. I always follow any instructions provided closely, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and medication if necessary. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, and I try to maintain their normal routine to reduce stress. Cleanliness and safety are top priorities, and I keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pets are in good hands. Whether I’m a guest in their home or welcoming them into mine, I treat every pet like they’re my own :)
About: I volunteered at the animal shelter Wanderes Rest all throughout high school. I have experience with many different kinds of animal behaviors. I work as a vet assistant for my job. Which means I know how to handle and take care of your precious fur babies. I can teach new commands if requested. I have experience with giving oral medication to both cats and dogs. I have experience with taking care of both senior cats and dogs. I will be attentive and detail oriented to their needs and care. I have experience with responding to emergencies in a calm and efficient manner. As well as keeping you updated about your pets wellbeing with LOTS of pictures. I've had stray dogs and cats approach me. Without doing anything to get their attention. Animals seem drawn towards my energy. Which is why I believe I'm the best choice when choosing someone to take care of your fur babies with Love and Attention while you are away 💕 I currently work weekends which means I am available during the week Mon - Fri. To drop by and check in on your precious babies. The only times I'm not available are 1-2:30pm since I walk dogs during those times. I am attentive and detailed oriented. I will follow your instructions word for word. Treating your fur babies like my own fur babies with Love, Attention, and Playful energy.
“Yelitza was absolutely wonderful with my pups. She stayed with them at my house while I was away, and spent plenty of time with them to keep them happy and loved, - walks, plays, and snuggles. She was very engaged and meticulous, and I was very happy about the whole experience.”
“Tammy was fantastic! Our 2 Shiba Inu’s absolutely loved spending time with her. She took excellent care of them and our house while we were away. Can’t wait to book Tammy again!”

About: I grew up with cats and dogs, and love all types of animals. I currently have an adorable pet bunny of my own. I'm comfortable pet-sitting and checking in on all types of pets. If you need a regular dog walker in or around the Westcott neighborhood, please let me know! My schedule is currently quite open as I'm pursuing an art career, work from home most of the time, and determine my own hours. Except for Mon-Thu 2:30pm-6pm, I work at an after-school arts program.

I know that every pet is different. Each individual has different preferences for activity level, types of activity, different dietary needs, and so on. I will your pet as an individual- let me know what they need and I will do my best to accommodate
“Maria adapted well to caring for my rescue dog, Ginger, and kept me updated with texts and pictures while she was with her. Maria tried different approaches to encourage Ginger to eat, took her on short walks, and created a comfortable environment while she was in her care.”

Northside pet parents share their Rover experiences
Cori and Jamie were available for my cat with medical needs on short notice. They were able to give my cat his medications without issue. They even spent an extra session with my cat so that he could get comfortable with them before giving him meds later in the day. Cori and Jamie seem very laid back and easy going cat sitters who are responsible enough to be entrusted with more medically demanding pets.

Josiah was amazing! He came for a meet and greet prior to our vacation and he just has a calm about him that immediately put both us and the pups at ease. He sent pics and updates throughout the week and left the house just as he found it. I felt completely comfortable having him stay and will definitely be requesting he return!

This was our first time with Mollie house/dog/cat sitting and she was fantastic! She asked all the right questions, took great care of our fur babies, including taking our tiny dog for walks - and we came home to a perfectly clean house! I’m looking forward to her return!

So happy that Savannah took care of my fur babies! I have a dog and a cat, and I enjoyed the daily updates and photos. She was always so pleasant to communicate with and took wonderful care of my home also. My cat, who is not friendly with everybody but immediately came over to meet her when she came in the first time, and I thought that was pretty impressive. I highly recommend her for any fur baby and house sitting gig!
