“Allison was wonderful! Very communicative and came home to a very happy, tired pup and tidy house. Felt very at ease knowing my dog was being cared for by her while away. So happy to have found her!”

“Kristin is incredible! My dog is obsessed with her. Onyx is so excited when she comes to stay with him. She’s great at communicating and sends so many pics, I never have to worry when I’m traveling. She’s responsible and reliable, absolutely book her!”

“Tina was a great pet sitter. She really love pets and was so attentive to my 2 Maine Coons . She was sending pictures of my fur babies on a regular basis and my cats loved her right away. I would highly recommend her to any homeowner who is searching for a caring and loving pet sitter.”

“Kaitlin was wonderful with our 14 week old basset hound puppy! She was right on time, very communicative throughout the day, and incredibly sweet and caring. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our puppy was in such good hands. We’d absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind sitter!”


“Hung is one of the best pet sitters I’ve had off Rover so far. He is professional, communicative, actively anticipates any issues and ensures all your expectations and wants are known and met. Will be rebooking soon! Thanks for all the great videos and photos of Ghost!”

About: I have cared for dogs and cats my entire life, including dogs of all sizes. I am experienced in giving medications, walking, feeding, and taking out for potty breaks and doing so in a loving and patient manner. As an animal lover I also like to give back to the animal community and have done so by volunteering at the animal shelter where I have learned so much. I am a former Registered Nurse so I have plenty of experience administering shots and I am currently looking into vet tech schools to pursue a new exciting career working closely with animals of all kinds. I am excited to meet you and your furry friends. I currently have 2 cats and 3 grand pups. That’s right. All 3 of my children have adorable dogs and I help care for them every week. I enjoy walking them, feeding them and playing with them. I would have a dog of my own too, but I live in a tiny apartment and my 2 cats, Simba and Floyd are my best friends. I have worked as a dog walker in the past for a company in Carlsbad where I gained valuable experience. I will provide exceptional care for your pets in your home. I will feed, water, walk and play and take them out for potty breaks. I can administer medication as well. I am patient and caring with a background in nursing. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members.
“I really enjoyed having Rosalinda take care of my senior dog and stay at my home. She made time to come meet me and my dog before my trip. She checked in regularly while I was gone, to let me know how my fur baby was doing. I would love to have her watch my dog again. I highly recommend Rosalinda.”

“Teresa is fantastic!! We had a great experience having her stay with our bull terrier, Goose for a few days in our home. Teresa is extremely professional and clearly has a passion for dogs. Our dog has some stubborn quirks and she handled her wonderfully :) we came home to a happy, tired dog and a spotless home. Highly recommend!”

“Elizabeth was great with our pets. We rested easily knowing they were in her care. She sent photos and updates so we knew how things were going. Highly recommend.”

“Daniel took great care of our pup and our home. He kept him active and socialized, and provided updates and pictures along the way. The house was spotless when we got back. For walks or stays, we look forward to having him take care of Dobby again in the future.”

“Kaitie was AMAZING!!! It was the first time leaving my little senior Chihuahua with anyone and I couldn’t have been more fortunate to have Kaitie take care of her. She sent pics regularly and updated me on how she was doing. Thank you Kaitie!”

“Our dogs who’s very nervous to be left with a new hooman was very comfortable and happy with Arlett. We were at ease on our weekend trip since we know we left our babies in good hands and we get constant photo updates too 🩷”


“Jarrod was absolutely fantastic! I was initially nervous leaving my dog for a week as she has IBD, a torn CCL awaiting surgery, and skin issues, but Jarrod took such good care of her! Will book again and I highly recommend him!”


“Anna is very friendly and our dogs were very comfortable with her. She communicates well and kept our dogs and home safe while we were away. I highly recommend her and will be reaching out to her again for future dog sitting needs.”

“Madeline took great care of our pets and home. She sent pictures and updates throughout the stay and left the home neat. Our dog and cat love her. We will definitely use her again.”

Old Town pet parents share their Rover experiences
Halle was extremely responsible and attentive to Cooper and Milo and as an added bonus, took fantastic pictures which she sent us regularly to let us know all was well. Our house can be a little tricky to take care of and Halle was a real trooper when learning everything. I highly recommend her and plan to book her first when we need house/ pet sitting again..

So happy we found Kaitie! She completely exceeded our expectations. She sent the most amazing photos throughout the stay and kept communication open the whole time — it made being away so much easier knowing my guy was in good hands. When I came home, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had the time of his life. The house was clean and tidy. We'll absolutely be booking her again!

Evelyn is a wonderful sitter! She is proactively communicative and sends lots of pictures. She was amazing with our two terriers, one of whom is a little skittish because she is a rescue. I would highly recommend Evelyn and will definitely be requesting that she watch our pups again in the future!

Callahan was very gentle with our pup and made her feel comfortable from the start! She was very flexible and communicative which helped us feel comfortable about our trip away from our dog. Callahan also helped us take out the trash. We would definitely hire her again.

Tina took great care of our kitties! She was a great communicator and she sent lots of pictures so we felt at ease while we were away. Our girls were clearly comfortable with her. I also appreciated that she offered a meet and greet beforehand even though I wasn’t able to make the time work
