“She was so sweet and caring, my senior dog loved her. Great communication and super calm spirit. I will definitely be using her again. She was hyper aware that he was post surgical and made sure to communicate updates to me regularly”



“Christine was wonderful! This was our first time booking her services, and I would highly recommend her. From our first meet and greet, it was clear she had a lot of experience caring for animals. She was easy to talk to, had good communication during our time away, and went out of her way to care for our dog, Jovi (who can be a bit of a handful and hard to walk sometimes!). She even went out of her way to take him to his favorite park/trail one of the evenings. The coolest thing was finding out she had cared for Jovi when he was a puppy before we adopted him (we’ve had him since he was 1 year old). His previous owner had also contacted Christine for dog sitting, and she was able to look back through her pictures and find young puppy photos of our Jovi! It was totally meant to be! 😆 I highly recommend Christine for all of your animal care needs!”


“Kody was phenomenal. My dog is very shy and timid at first. Kody was patient with him slowly earning his trust. Kody also sent great pics and detailed updates which was nice to have while away. He even went above and beyond and watered my plants while it was hot out. I would highly recommend Kody.”


“Erica is absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond in caring for my dog, not only following all of my directions to the letter but also giving him extra love and attention. She took him on special outings, including a fun trip to the River Yard Bar, and made sure I got plenty of photos along the way. Her communication was excellent with consistent updates, quick responses, and genuine care that gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I can’t recommend Erica enough for anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and caring dog sitter!”


“Daria was absolutely wonderful! She kept in touch and coordinated with me excellently! She was extremely flexible to my chaotic schedule and she sent so many wonderful photos with my baby cat! My cat is usually pretty shy but she cozied right up! Daria also provided updates on how much my cat was eating and if she seemed engaged. Really appreciate that. Daria also left my apartment much cleaner than I left it for her hahah!! Daria is a wonderful sitter, I absolutely recommend her if your looking for a house/pet sitter!”


“Matt was everything you want when booking a new sitter. Our dog loved him, he was super responsive before and during, and had a real ease and kindness about him. We didn’t worry at all and as a pet owner you can understand how invaluable that is:) we loved Matt, will rebook him forever in the future and recommend you book him too!!”


“Yuliia is an excellent dog sitter. She stayed with our dog Hank in our home and provided him with lots of attention, stimulation, and loving affection. We loved the many wonderful photos she sent documenting what a good time they were having. Her great care for Hank and our home made a much needed trip possible. Highly recommend.”


About: With a strong sense for dog body language and behavior, I naturally bond with dogs and know how to keep them engaged, playful, and calm. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a senior companion, I tailor their care to suit their needs and give them a fulfilling, well-balanced day. My schedule allows me to maintain consistent routines for feeding, training, sleep, and potty breaks. I offer a variety of experiences from city parks to nature hikes, giving dogs exposure to a diverse range of settings. I also provide basic training support including crate, leash/off-leash, recall, sport-based games like fetch and frisbee, and even task-based and obedience exercises—skills I’ve developed through 10+ years of experience with dogs from puppyhood to senior stages. As a graduate student currently on summer break, my schedule is wide open—and I’ve intentionally structured my time to prioritize pet care. I’m available for care throughout the day, whether that means early-morning walks, mid-day play sessions, or overnight sitting. My flexibility allows me to tailor routines around your dog’s unique needs, whether they’re energetic and need lots of stimulation or prefer a slower, calmer pace. I spend much of my time outdoors, and I love incorporating dogs into that lifestyle—hiking scenic trails, visiting off-leash parks, or just taking long neighborhood walks. I believe dogs thrive when they experience new encounters, and I work those moments of enrichment into every week. I live in a spacious, first-floor apartment with direct access to a secure patio and a neighborhood dog park—just steps outside my door. This makes potty breaks, quick outdoor play/walks, and socialization seamless and stress-free. Every day, our neighborhood hosts friendly dog meetups with well-behaved pups, offering perfect opportunities for your dog to engage with others in a safe environment. Inside my home, dogs will find a clean, calm, and organized space with plenty of enrichment. I have a variety of toys, training tools, puzzles, and games to ensure your dog stays mentally and physically stimulated—the goal is for no boredom and anxiety. I also keep a full range of grooming and cleaning supplies on hand, so whether your dog needs a simple wipe-down or a post-adventure bath, I’ve got it covered. I am well-versed in training methods and behavior management, so if your pup has specific routines or commands, I likely already have the knowledge and equipment to maintain their structure. I’m happy to reinforce crate training, leash manners, or any custom instructions you provide to ensure consistency while you’re away. I also have a well-socialized golden retriever mix who’s incredibly calm, friendly, and trained to model great behavior for other dogs. If your dog enjoys companionship, mine makes an excellent playmate. If needed, I can crate or separate the dogs for one-on-one attention or downtime—your dog’s comfort and safety always come first.

“Aniela did a great job taking care of our cat FD while we were away! The house was really clean when we got back, and our cat seemed very happy and well looked after. Aniela shared some cute photos and kept in touch about the key pickup and drop-off, which made the whole process easier. It’s so nice to have someone reliable looking after our girl while we’re gone! Thank you so much Aniela for your help!”


“Lily was such a life saver for a last minute house sitting of my kitty, Bradley. I was heading out of town as he had a urinary blockage. Lily was a good communicator, handled his post-surgery medicine administration, and provided a lot of love and pets. I felt confident my cat was in good hands with her despite the stress of an urgent procedure before an out of town trip. I would definitely book her again.”


“2nd time having Chloe watch Maeby and Anna and she continues to be super responsive and send a lot of updates and photos throughout the day. Felt like my pets were in good hands and would be more than happy to continue to having her sit them.”


“Leslie did a fantastic job watching my cat for a long weekend! She made sure to send me photo updates throughout the trip. I came back to a very happy cat and she left my place in great condition. I highly recommend Leslie and will definitely be using her again!”


“Thomas was extremely professional and took great care of our two dogs. We have a rambunctious vizsla puppy who he did great with. Attentive, communicative, and dependable, we were glad we booked him to dog-sit and look forward to doing so again!”


“Iva did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and cat. She shared lots of great pictures and comments about their time together. Our house was left in great shape. We would highly recommend Iva to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”



“She’s just the best. Our animals are happy, healthy and well taken care of. We feel safe leaving them with her—it’s the best you could ask! Thanks again Magdalena”


“Katie was so great with our cat! She sent frequent updates and really cute pictures to let us know how our girl was doing. Our trip was so much better because we didn’t have to worry about things at home, and we knew our cat was in good hands! Katie also went above and beyond when it came to leaving our apartment cleaner than it was before we left! I was so impressed how nice it was when we got back! Thank you again!”


“If you’re looking to travel and leave your fur babies in good hands, Ian is the person to trust! He cared for mine like they were his own, giving me the peace of mind to truly enjoy my trip. I’ll definitely be booking him again in the future!.”

Rosedale pet parents share their Rover experiences
Lucas was a great sitter for my dog Rey. She's pretty low maintenance, but is getting up there in age and it made me feel better to know someone was hanging out with her all day and taking her on short walks. Lucas was communicative and Rey seemed very happy and healthy when we got home. Would recommend!

We had such a wonderful experience with Leslie! She was super reliable and always quick to respond to messages. Our dog has gotten a bit more anxious in recent years, but she spent tons of time with her and really helped her feel comfortable. When we came home she was clearly happy, relaxed, and well looked after. We’re so grateful to have found someone who treats our pup like family, and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.

Aniela did a great job taking care of our cat FD while we were away! The house was really clean when we got back, and our cat seemed very happy and well looked after. Aniela shared some cute photos and kept in touch about the key pickup and drop-off, which made the whole process easier. It’s so nice to have someone reliable looking after our girl while we’re gone! Thank you so much Aniela for your help!

Jocelyn is the best! She took such great care of my dog, my home, and even some plants! When she couldn't be around, she ensured someone would be there to make sure my puppy was cared for. I could see how happy she made Lantana just from the Ring camera, but Jocelyn made sure to send photo updates from the park as well. Highly recommended.

Becca is amazing! She's one of my favorite pet sitters I have ever had! I reached out to many pet sitters that never replied, and even though she was traveling, she got back to me! I was so impressed with that, and we kept in touch over a week while I was still searching with no luck. She is very sweet, and my German Shepherd Jax fell in love with her at our meet and greet! I had a feeling she would be the "one" : )) She also grew up with large dogs and it's important to me to have someone who has experience with large dogs. I needed someone to stay here a lot, and she was able to and I know Jax was well taken care of! She was very communicative, and checked in twice daily with photos, which I loved. She also checked in with me the day before, and when she left, she sent me a recap text. I had such peace of mind while I was gone. I highly recommend Becca!

Daria was an excellent choice. Being from out of town, my husband and I were nervous about leaving our GiGi with someone we didn’t know. Daria was on time, and Gigi immediately took to her. She sent us updates often which set us at ease. Please don’t be discouraged that Daria’s English is limited, as she gets along just fine with google translate. I 100% recommend her !

Working with Maggie was a breeze and she cared for our animals with love and consistency while we were away. She sent daily pictures and updates, addressed some unexpected medical issues with thoughtfulness and efficiency, and left our home in great condition.

Ian was amazing with the animals! He was great at communicating and providing updates for both my dog and cat. He even brought a scratching post to try and deter my kitty away from my dining room chair! My house was nice and tidy when I came home, and he made sure to ask if anything specific needed to be done before he left.

Michael was absolutely fantastic while dog sitting my puppy, Pippa! He was incredibly attentive, followed all of my instructions to the letter, and kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Pippa clearly adored him, and it was obvious he was in great hands. On top of that, Michael left my home in perfect condition — it looked exactly as I left it (if not better!). I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking him again. Highly recommend!
