About: I’m a reliable and detail-oriented pet sitter and dog walker who understands how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I follow routines carefully, prioritize safety, and provide lots of love and attention. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around my bookings so I can give each pet my full attention, whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or extended care. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and any specific care notes. I keep the space clean, provide companionship, playtime, and exercise, and always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment.
“Thank you, Jessica for taking great care of Teddy! Your quick responses and daily pictures and updates made us feel very connected and assured that Teddy was in great hands. We would feel very comfortable to have you take care of Teddy again whenever we need to go away.”


“Absolutely fantastic. I plan on using Gheraldine whenever I travel. She’s not the closest, but I feel so comfortable leaving my baby with her. Pics, videos, updates - all the good stuff to make me feel at peace. HIGHLY recommend her services.”

“I found Maria as a very last minute thing for my whippet and I am SO impressed! Her whole family loves the dogs (adult mom, husband), their home is so dog friendly, the fence is super high, safe and no dog is escaping and MARIA also does pre interviews to make sure dogs are nice, calm and get along with her two. I would 10000% use her again if lived in the area and needed it. She was GREAT!”

“Nicole is extremely attentive and nurturing. She definitely goes out of her way to make her furry guests feel at home. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be returning. Thank you Nicole!”

“Would definitely recommend Kelly! We are so glad we found Kelly and Kyle! They looked after our dog for an extended stay and we were so grateful for all the help and amazing care they gave. Kelly sent lots of updates including fun photos and videos which we loved! The stay included lots of walks and playtime in their yard with their amazing dog Eggie. Would absolutely trust Kelly to look after our dog again.”

“Andrea and her family was amazing! My golden girls are so spoiled and for sure they got all the love and attention they like. Andrea sent me pictures and updates at least twice a day, which for me was a plus. Zoey and Molly were so happy and calm when I picked them up. I have already booked her again for our next vacation. I am happy to find a loving family to watch my girls while traveling.”

“Ekaterina, took care of my precious puppy like her own child for more than a week…..Took my puppy on walks. She has had a her own dog so she understands the toilet needs for my precious puppy. She only cares for one puppy at a time so my puppy got full attention. Highly recommend her!!!!”

“Juan Pablo took excellent care of our two dogs. He sent us regular pics and videos. He provided a positive social environment with his dog and other neighbour’s dogs. It was like one big Chi family. We had a great time on our vacation knowing our dogs were well taken care of. The peace of mind is priceless!”

“Pugsley had so much fun! I could tell he was having a really good time! I would definitely recommend Jessica and will definitely be a return customer! Thank you so much!”

Thank you so much!”

“Dawson has had an amazing time with Payal over the past several days — I’ve been getting the sweetest updates throughout the day, from adorable videos to cute photos that truly show how well she’s caring for him. On top of that, Payal has been incredibly accommodating with my demanding work schedule, always flexible and easy to work with. I couldn’t be happier with the experience and highly recommend her!”

River Oaks dog parents share their Rover experiences
Sarah was absolutely fantastic with my dog, Milo, during his two-night stay. She was caring, professional, and kept me updated throughout, which gave me great peace of mind. Milo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. It’s obvious she genuinely loves dogs and treats them like her own. I would not hesitate to leave Milo with Sarah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and exceptional dog sitter. Thank you, Sarah!
My little old man stayed with Mafalda for just two nights and I was amazed at how quickly he settled in. He practically had his own little vacation and I got lots of pictures and videos. I really hope that when I need a sitter again, Mafalda and her family will have a spot for him.

Thank you, Jessica for taking great care of Teddy! Your quick responses and daily pictures and updates made us feel very connected and assured that Teddy was in great hands. We would feel very comfortable to have you take care of Teddy again whenever we need to go away.

I left my two dogs with this sitter for 12 days, and it was my first time being away from my fur babies for so long and trusting anyone outside of my family. Maria made the entire experience so much easier and stress-free. I received daily photo updates, which really helped me feel connected to my dogs while I was away. She was very responsive and always replied in a timely manner. She was also flexible and easy to work with throughout the stay. I truly appreciated the care and attention she gave my dogs, and I would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend

Anita was fantastic! Tully our King Charles cavalier spent nearly two weeks at Anitas place - she was well looked after and was happy in her care - the enclosed back yard was perfect for her along with the walks. We were updated with photos and fab communication. Would highly recommend Anita and we are very grateful.

Our girls spent 10 days with Camilla and her mom while we were out of the country and they were extremely well cared for! It was our second time they stayed with her and they were thrilled to be back. We got many photos of our pups enjoying the spacious backyard and making other doggy friends. Would absolutely have them stay again!

Heather was amazing with Cora! She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. Cora came home calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. She also got along great with Heather’s beautiful baby girl. I would absolutely trust Heather with Cora again and highly recommend her! 🐶💕

I was at ease from the moment I came across Laura’s profile! My dog is very attached and every picture she sent of her during her stay ensured me that she was well taken care of, and not missing me too much. Her & her husband were a delight, sharing pictures and updates throughout her weekend. Would definitely recommend to others, and would book again!

I’m still sitting in my parking spot after picking up Penny because I just had to write this review before driving away… that’s how blown away I am. This was my first time leaving her with Vadim and Anastasia, and they made the whole experience so easy. The photos and videos they sent throughout her stay were constant and genuinely heartwarming. Cuddles, treats, pets, etc. I never once had to wonder how she was doing. Their communication is also exceptional. I travel a lot for work so having found them is a life saver. 10/10 would recommend to anyone needing to leave their pups!

Petra was very attentive to our dog Lucy! She was very organized, sent lots of updates, and was able to get Lucy to take her meds even when she didn’t like some of them! Highly recommend her to take care of your pets! Her dogs Cookie and Yuri were also very sweet and got along fine with my 15 year old dog!
