“Tatyana did a great job with our three dogs who range in size from a 90 lb German shepherd down to a 25 lb mutt. She sent pictures and videos, and with it being the first time she watched our dogs, it made me feel 100x more comfortable. We also had one dog who needed to take medication that she ensured was administered.”
“Bob treated our cat like his own family member. Very kind, attentive, punctual, and provided consistent updates regarding our cat. Thankful to have a reliable house-sitter!”
“Samantha was phenomenal! She provided great communication and provided good updates with my dog. She took amazing care of him. I had her housesitting for me and she was extremely respectful of my apartment as well. I would absolutely have Samantha help me out again!”
“Mallory has been amazing! She has watched my dog twice now and each time has gone very smoothly. My large dog is very sweet once you know him but has a protective streak that can make initial meetings difficult. However, Mallory instantly put him at ease and clearly knows when to give dogs space and how to best approach. My dog loves her and I always feel comfortable leaving him in her care. 100% recommend!”
“Katy is so wonderful that I have to leave a second review. We’ve been going through a big transition and Katy continues to meet each of my boys where they are at. Her hyper awareness, consideration, and kindness allow me to travel and not stress about any of the boys.”
About: I grew up with cats my entire life, and have ample experience caring for my own and catsitting for friends and clients! I absolutely adore every cat I meet and put every effort into making your kitties feel as comfortable and cared for as possible. I understand how incredibly stressful it can be to leave your pet when going out of town, having experienced it myself, and so I aim to be as communicative as possible to make sure you and your pets feel comfortable. My previous clients can vouch that I send a lotttt of pictures and videos of their pets to them when they are away so they can rest assured that their pets are healthy & happy. My mindset is to give the best possible care while you are away, the same as I would with my own pet. Cats communicate a lot with their body language–I am always mindful of this to ensure I am interacting with them exactly how they prefer. If your kitties are cuddly and friendly, I'll give them as many pets as they want–if they're more reserved, I'll respect their boundaries and allow them to warm up to me over time if they wish. In addition, I have experience caring for my own cat with kidney disease. I am comfortable administering subcutaneous fluids (I did so every day with my own kitty) and topical ear medications. I am also well-versed in every possible strategy for encouraging reluctant kitties to eat, for those experiencing health issues that impact appetite, struggle to eat enough, or are generally picky! I'm a graduate student with availability after 6pm on weekdays, and all day on Saturdays & Sundays during the semester. Depending on the distance from where I'm located, I am also available for morning drop-ins (before 9am) on weekdays. From May–August, and over my winter break, my availability is much more flexible and I'm able to make drop-in visits in the middle of the day. I'm happy to spend time with your kitty wherever they prefer to be in your home and wherever you are comfortable with me being–whether this means sitting with them on the floor, running around together playing with a toy, or just sitting and enjoying one another's company.
“It was so nice to know we had a reliable, kind and experienced pet sitter! Amy took care of our two dogs, cat, and gecko and sent great pictures during her stay. We were lucky to have her!”
“Louis and her family took good care of my dog. He seemed very happy the entire time and enjoyed their company. She made sure to send lots of pictures and check in too.”
“Sophie took amazing care of Ernest - she gave me detailed updates, communicated clearly and was careful to ask questions to understand what Ernest needed, and most importantly pampered Ern and made sure he could stick to his normal routine as much as possible while I was away. I came home to a happy and relaxed dog!”
“Isabel is definitely a 5-star sitter. Sent pictures daily of our dog, followed all directions left for her. She went above and beyond caring for our dog who needed daily medication. Great communication. Sadie was somewhat shy at first but it didn’t take long to warm up to Isabel. Definitely recommend and will rebook her as needed.”
“We have used so many dog sitters over the last ten years in the various places we’ve lived, and none of them have had to deal with even half the things Mary had to manage during her few days staying with Pax. In the very first day after we left, Pax was experiencing lots of GI symptoms which led to a lot of cleaning up after him. He also threw up his medications, leading to him having seizures. Mary was so communicative, patient, and calm throughout all of it. Last but not least, she also alerted us right away when our upstairs neighbors hit a pipe, causing a flood in our apartment. She helped to move things around in our apartment, tried to do what she could to protect our things, and was able to wait with Pax while we figured out other arrangements. Mary is truly an angel and we are so thankful she was there with Pax through all of that. We only hope that the experience didn’t scar her for life and we’ll be able to see her again!”
“Great dog sitter — would definitely use again. Appreciated the communication, great photos, and attention to detail. Misha was happy and content when we came home. Thanks, Dustin!”
“Seanna was my first rover sitter experience for my dog reactive dog, and it went so so well! She’s great with communication and updates, and she is very thorough. I can tell from the photos that Frank had a great time with her, and I am so grateful for her willingness to work with my dog and understand his quirks. We will definitely be booking with Seanna again, and I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Mia was awesome sitting with our 10 month old, frisky puppy. She understood his personality immediately so he felt comfortable with her right away. And so did we. Despite the freezing cold, Mia was on time and took him outside several times. We highly recommend Mia!”
“As hard as it is to leave Tofu, we’re always so glad when Zach stays with Tofu! They have so much fun together and Zach was a wonderful guest. I would recommend him to anyone!”
“Kylie was incredible! She house sat my do Rubi for a weekend, and my pup loved her. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for pet care, and she left my house so amazingly clean. Thank you, Kylie :)”
“Lily was great with our pups! She was extremely thorough and responsive while she stayed in our home watching our pups. She had great attention to detail and our house and pups were all in great shape upon our return! Overall great experience”
“Katie was wonderful with my dog and a great communicator. She sent lots of updates and I could tell she was taking great care of him. She went above and beyond! I would definitely utilize her again.”
“Jordyn is an incredibly responsible and patient pet sitter! During our three-day trip, she provided timely updates every day, keeping us informed about our dog’s activities. Our pup absolutely adores her—they got along so well! Our whole family truly appreciates Jordyn’s wonderful care and highly recommend her services. Thank you, Jordyn!”
“We have never left our boy, Griffin for more than a couple of days before. We went on a two week trip and hired Travis to watch our big sheepadoodle. He was incredible! He sent us pictures and videos of Griffin at the dog park and around the third day, Griffin was giving him his paw and Travis was loving on him. We then received a picture of Griffin on the bed Travis used…. That sealed it…. Griffin loves him! We do too! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our boy❤️”
Parkside Resident pet parents share their Rover experiences
I can't recommend Abigail enough. She was great at communicating during the booking process and while we were away. When she came over to meet our girls, she asked questions about their care that I hadn't even considered, showing her attention to detail. Abigail wasted no time in getting to know our cats when she came over to meet them before confirming the booking. We also received tons of updates from her throughout each day we were gone, including photos and videos. She played with our kitties every day, too. I never like to leave our girls at home, but I feel better now knowing that we have found a reliable sitter!
Jeanette was wonderful with our dogs. She came by for a meet-and-greet before our week long trip so they could get comfortable with her ahead of time, which we really appreciated. She was a great communicator throughout the stay, sending regular updates and photos that gave us real peace of mind while we were traveling. There was also a thunderstorm while we were away, and Jeanette was especially patient with our anxious dog, making sure she felt safe and comfortable. We returned home to a tidy house and very happy dogs. We would book Jeanette again and recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable sitter.
Alaina has dog sat for us many times, and our two Labrador puppies are always so excited to see her! They are completely comfortable around her—so much so that they happily curl up and fall asleep right beside her. She is also incredibly flexible and kindly agreed to come 30 minutes early when our plans changed, which we really appreciated. We always feel at ease knowing our pups are in such caring and fun hands!
Dustin was an old acquaintance of mine so I already knew that he’s a kind and wonderful person. I did NOT know that he’s also a puppy whisperer (though not surprised!). Dustin took care of our energetic 4 month-old great pyr/retriever puppy while we were away for a week. He kept her company within his flexible work schedule. She was happy and engaged, safe and healthy. He also kept her space tidy, vacuumed before we got back, and did our mail and trash. He communicated daily over text with pics and updates on how she was doing, which helped us to miss her a little less. :) Dustin is 100% reliable and a stand-up guy. Highly recommend!
Scott really helped us out with a week of drop-in visits for our two dogs, one of which is rather unpleasant with strangers. He also agreed to oversee our coop of chickens which was very helpful. Scott was accomodating and generally a good communicator, and the pups seemed to like him. I think he did a fine job. We would definitely work with Scott again.
Sophie was a wonderful dog sitter for my dog, Bluto! I truly felt like she loved him like he was her own which made me feel better about my time away. She was a great communicator before and during the visit and sent lots of sweet pictures. She also cleaned up the house before she left which made coming home so so much easier! Will definitely book with Sophie again.
Zach stayed with our two dogs and cat for five days - and managed to win the trust of our extremely timid little dog, and was even ok with our big affectionate dog wanting to share his bed. Our little dog even hid underneath the porch during one of the first bathroom breaks in the backyard, but Zach patiently lured him back out. By the end of the visit our little dog finally warmed up - quite an amazing feat winning the heart of this nervous pup. Zach also took our big high energy dog out to the dog park and managed to get him tired. He provided daily check-ins with photos or video, and was receptive to suggestions on ways to help our little dog relax. We felt totally comfortable knowing Zach was at our place.
