“Mallory was beyond amazing, both for my pets as well as my house, going above and beyond for us, particularly in a tricky time. I would certainly book with Mallory again in a heartbeat.”
“Meghan was absolutely wonderful and took great care of my pups! They were all very well loved and cared for while I was gone. She was very communicative and sent me daily pictures and updates.”
“Bryan is so helpful — he was able to watch our house and two pets (dog & cat) for 17 days, including over the 4th of July weekend(!). Throughout, Bryan kept us informed about how things were going. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip knowing that all was well back home.”
“McKenzie was amazing with our crew. Including keeping us up to date on one of our pups who has a medical issue that requires multiple medications and feeding times. It’s especially hard to leave a pet that isn’t feeling well by McKenzie did a great job. My little dog, who is a bit standoff-ish, let her pet her with a few minutes of meeting her. We hope to use her again!”
“Oli helped us out on really short notice and took fantastic care of our pup. It was such a relief to know our girl was getting love and attention while we were away. Thank you, Oli!”
“Anna was extremely communicative and provided consistent updates while she watched my two pups during an out of town trip. I could tell through every photo and video she shared that the dogs were very well taken care of and comfortable. I would definitely book Anna again for future requests!”
“Our dogs can be difficult, but Brittany did a great job with them! She sent us regular updates with cute pictures and spent a lot of time on walks and keeping the pups company. We really appreciated coming home to a neat apartment and stress-free dogs! We will definitely book again and recommend her to others!”
“We felt at ease when Emily stayed with our 10 month old great dane pup and 7 year old Border Aussie. I got pictures everyday we were gone and the dogs were happy and relaxed when we got home. Bonus points for the house being clean when we got home! We are hopeful to have Emily care for our pets and home again!”
“Egon was an absolute DELIGHT to work with. They were very communicative, asked great questions, and took excellent care of our older senior kitty and two kittens. They also managed some unexpected house stuff with grace and ease (including an internet outage and several service folks needing to come to the house to fix stuff). We came home to happy kitties and a spotless, well-cared-for house. We have already booked with Egon again and encourage others to work with them as well :)”
“jasmine did an absolutely wonderful job with my three pups. i have two mini-aussies and an aussie/husky mix, so three high energy and high velcro dogs. she sent me lots of pictures and seemed to really bond with them while i was away. aussies definitely need you to prove that you’re worthy of their trust. i am rather type A about my dogs’ routine and very verbose, but she followed my instructions to a tee and kept me updated throughout the day. i have gps collars that count their steps and sleep. their goal is usually 20k steps. one of my dogs was hitting 60k/day while she was there and i greatly appreciate her putting in the time and energy to make my dogs happy and relaxed. i will definitely be reaching out to jasmine whenever i need a dog sitter.”
“Available for a last minute trip, Cindy was a huge help! Responsive, cared for my dog well and kept me updated. I felt comfortably leaving my home and fuzzy buddy in her care.”
“Danielle was amazing. She sent a ton of photos and kept me updated throughout the stay. My dogs loved snuggling with her and were so happy and well cared for. Will definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember.. Growing up with everything from cats and dogs to rabbits, spiders, ferrets and even the occasional rescue critter. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I truly feel at home when I’m surrounded by furry friends. I absolutely adore cats! Their quirky personalities & quiet cuddles melt my heart & I love the energy & companionship dogs bring. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away, I treat every animal with the same love & care I give my own. My schedule has its quirks, but it works in your pet’s favor! Tuesdays and Thursdays are actually my most flexible days, perfect for morning and evening walks or extended hangouts with your furry companion. As a full-time grad student and part-time social worker, my hours can be a little unpredictable but I always make time for what matters. Even with a busy calendar, caring for animals is a priority I never push aside. Whether it’s a midday drop-in or a sunset stroll, I’m happy to fit in the love and attention your pet deserves. Safety, trust, and a calm environment are at the heart of the care I provide. Whether I’m coming to your home for a walk, a cuddle session, or staying for an overnight house sit, I treat your space and your pets with the utmost respect and care. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your furry family member in someone else’s hands, and I take that responsibility seriously. I follow any routines you’ve set, keep their environment clean and peaceful, and make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved at all times. Whether it’s daily check-ins, long walks, or overnight companionship, I show up with patience, attention, and genuine care.
“Jora did an incredible job watching Melo! She was a great communicator and sent lots of great pics of him and left the house super clean. I also reached out super last minute and she was happily able to help us. She asked lots of good questions to ensure she’d be able to take great care of him. Would book again!”
“Rachel was wonderful. She arrived promptly and did an excellent job of taking care of our animals. She gave us updates and left the house pristine. We would recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a cat and/or dog sitter!”

Rosedale pet parents share their Rover experiences
Lynne was an amazing overnight sitter for our two pups while we were on an international trip! She was super responsive, thoughtful, and caring for our whole family - which was wonderful! Knowing that our girls were being so well cared for AND having fun while we were away made the trip even better. We highly recommend Lynne for all your petsitting needs!
Excellent caretaker for Roxy. We went to Aruba on vacation and Cindy stayed at our house. She was thoughtful and did a meet and greet a week prior to our vacation. Roxy loves her. She kept in contact with us throughout the trip. She noticed that Roxy had a chronic cough and notified us. She took her to the vet and Roxy was treated with medications. Cindy was able to give her the medicines and keep her safe and comfortable. She also washed our towels and cleaned the kitchen. She is a pure joy and we are grateful for Cindy. Definitely, more than 5 stars!
Emma was great!! We felt really comfortable leaving Leo with her. She sent tons of updates and pictures and also took great care of our house (she even washed our bed sheets for us!). We came back and Leo seemed really happy and healthy. I recommend her 100%! Thanks Emma!!
Emily did an incredible job taking care of our dog Pepper! She was happy to assist us with a last minute house sitting request when the family members who were originally going to watch our dog had to cancel for a personal matter. Even prior to being formally booked, Emily was quick to respond and receptive to the specific needs of our dog. We were able to set up a meet-and-greet between Emily and Pepper a few days before the house sitting, and it was clear that Emily was the right choice - our dog can be hesitant around new people, but she quickly warmed up her new friend. On the day of our departure, Emily arrived early enough for us to hand over our house keys safely and within 5 minutes of us being out the door we had our first update that Pepper was happily cuddling with Emily on our couch. On the following days, Emily provided regular picture & text updates about how our dog was doing and it was clear the two of them were getting along great. We couldn't be happier - thank you!
Rose did an amazing job watching our dog and cat while we were away for a week. It’s such a relief to know how well taken care of they are so we could relax on vacation! Rose is an excellent communicator and sent regular updates and pictures. The pets were very happy and the house looked great upon our return! We are repeat customers and would definitely work with Rose again.
