“Met Allison first through a meet and greet, we immediately felt comfortable with her staying at our house and caring for our two pups! Responsible, clean, communicative and made sure to love on our babies which is the most important part! Definitely would recommend to anyone and will be asking for her again!”

“Kristin is amazing! She sent photos and communicated the entire time on my trip. I never had to worry that my dog and cat weren’t receiving the best care. I could tell she treated girls and home like her own. I also came home to a spotless house - so thankful!”

“Shelby took great care of my pup and house while I was out of town. She accommodated a very last minute request and I came back to a happy dog and very tidy house. Would recommend!”

“Ricardo was amazing! He was super accommodating and our animals loved him. He took my dog on nice, long walks which she loved and even helped with her reactivity towards other dogs which was incredible! We couldn’t have asked for a kinder person to care for our animals.”

“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!”

“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.”


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.
“Kaitie did such a wonderful job with our dogs! The photos she sent everyday were great quality and the girls looked so happy. Kaitie sent regular updates and communicated daily while we were gone. She kept the apartment very clean and made our return smooth and seamless.”

“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.”

“Teresa is officially my dog’s favorite dog sitter (mine too)! After a weekend family emergency came up, Teresa saved the day and quickly jumped in to help housesit. She was so patient and Ella instantly took to her. I received the best video of my dog hopping along on a walk, happy as ever - not missing me all that much. I was at ease knowing she was in such good hands and that Teresa was well versed in managing dogs with special needs. I highly recommend Teresa and we look forward to having her back in the future!”


“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.”

“Anne took great care of my pup while I was out of town for the weekend and it was so nice to know he was happy and cared for. She sent a few photos and updates so I knew all was going well. She also left my place very clean which I really appreciated!”

“Elizabeth is great - she takes my dog to the beach every day! Good communication including lots of adorable photos 🙂 my house is always just how I left it. I will definitely continue to book with Elizabeth.”

“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.
