“Alexander was absolutely wonderful. This was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous at first. I have a Great Dane and she is my animal child so, like any pet parent, you want the best for them. My dog was very hesitant at first because she was on guard and protecting her home. I left treats at the door just in case. Alexander was so patient with her and feed her treats to gain her trust. As the days went on, the "check-in" photos made my heart smile. I could see London letting her guard down her guard and that was all because of how sweet he was. I will certaintly use him again!”


“Regan is a wonderful cat sitter! She looked after our 2 1 year old cats for the weekend and was communicative throughout it sending pictures and updates.”



“When we moved into a new house a little further from work we weren't able to get home during the day to give the dogs a break. Finding Dmitra was the best thing that could have happened! She comes every day to let the dogs out and/or take them for a walk. It gives us peace of mind knowing that they are being checked in on and it gives our dogs the opportunity to get some energy out. Dmitra is reliable, friendly and she takes great care of our dogs. Highly recommend.”


“The best sitter I have ever had! I always get anxiety leaving my senior cat but Cori alleviated my anxiety because they genuinely loved and cared for my cat! Highly recommend!!!!”



“Natalie took excellent care of our cat Milo while we were away. She was very detailed in her updates and even brought in a package that was delivered in our absence. I will definitely use Natalie again!”


“I can’t recommend Jordan enough! She took absolutely amazing care of my cats while I was away and made me feel completely at ease the entire time. She sent frequent updates and the cutest photos, which really helped me feel connected even from afar. It was clear my cats were happy, comfortable, and in great hands. Jordan went above and beyond, and I’m so grateful for her care and attention to detail. Will definitely be booking her again!”


“Ashley & Nick did just a wonderful job caring for my dog and cat while I was out of town! From the outset, I was impressed by their professional approach and attention to detail. I received regular updates and lots of pics, so I knew the pets were getting plenty of love, outdoor time, and enrichment. I would recommend without hesitation!”


“Jennifer is the best thing that’s ever happened to our kitty, Helen Rose! She is so fun and so caring. Helen absolutely adores her. Helen is very social and loves to play and Jennifer wears her out but playing all of her favorite games with her. When my husband is traveling for work and I’m working full time outside of our home, it’s so comforting to know that Jennifer is caring for Helen. We also love Jennifer’s Rover cards after each visit. So descriptive and cute. Jennifer is just the best.”


“Linnea is the real deal! She did drop in visits for our almost two year old pittie Lucy and I could not have asked for a more capable and professional person for the job. An added bonus is that she loves to teach dogs new commands in addition to caring for them and showing them love. Linnea was spectacular and a high recommend!”


“Lauren is an amazing sitter! She dropped in on our pup for 5 days and took great care of her as well as keeping her company with snuggles and her toys! She was on time every day and followed all instructions we left for her. I’d recommend Lauren to anyone!”


“Our two older cats were so well cared for by Lara. One of our cats requires meds twice a day and she was able to keep him on his med routine the entire time we were away, which was really impressive. Our home was clean when we got home - litter boxes tidy and everything in place. We're really happy with the care provided and absolutely would book her again to care for our boys! Thank you Lara!”


“Rachel was very communicative and sent us lots of nice pics of our cat on her visits! She helped us out last minute and we couldn’t have been happier having her check on our cat while we were away.”


About: I adore all types of dogs, big or small. Years of experience have taught me that the most important thing is respecting their space and boundaries while making sure they have everything they need. I also believe that it is incredibly important they have an outlet for their energy, so I am willing to play with them for as long as it takes - sometimes fetch has gone on for over an hour. Again, safety is of the utmost importance and I have experience taking care of all sorts of dogs with different temperaments, including some escape artists, who were all safe and sound when their families returned. I'm currently working part-time so I have some incredible flexibility when it comes to taking care of your pups! I'm willing and able to wake up early or stay up late as needed and I can spend plenty of time making sure your pets get all the love and affection they deserve. Your pet's safety is my top priority and while I have experience caring for a variety of animals, including some with serious medical conditions, I believe that their families have the best understanding of what they need. As such, I am happy to work with you to determine the best means of caring for your pet, whether that includes particular leash attachments, the use of indoor gates, external gates. I also have a fenced in backyard for any pets that might end up staying the night.

About: With 10 years of pet care experience, I provide reliable and compassionate care tailored to each pet’s needs. Whether it’s caring for playful puppies who need training and structure or providing gentle support for senior pets, I ensure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I have experience with administering medication, maintaining exercise routines, and understanding different pet behaviors. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind, knowing their furry friends are in caring and capable hands! As someone who works from home and has my own dog, pet care is naturally a part of my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to provide attentive care, regular walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I understand the importance of keeping pets on a routine that meets their needs, whether it’s exercise, feeding schedules, or simply offering comfort and attention. Having my own dog has also given me firsthand experience in training, socialization, and understanding different pet personalities. Living in the heart of downtown, surrounded by many parks, I provide a stimulating and engaging environment for pets in my care. Whether in my apartment or a client’s home, I prioritize regular walks, playtime, and companionship to ensure pets feel happy and comfortable. For pets staying with me, I offer a cozy, safe space with plenty of exercise opportunities at nearby parks. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I maintain their usual routines, providing feeding, walks, and plenty of affection to help them feel secure while their owners are away.

“Kristen was amazing: she was reachable, and very easy to work with. When my dog Petey was anxious and scared, she was patient with him and very calm. She was able to contact me with photos and updates throughout her drop in visit, and was very professional. Thanks for being so understanding Kristen!”


About: I've had six amazing dogs throughout my life, and my passion for animals runs deep. Most of my experience is with senior dogs—my family always adopted the oldest pups from the shelter, so I’m very familiar with their special needs, medications, and gentle routines. These days, I have a happy, energetic two-year-old dog of my own, so I’m also used to the playful energy and structure younger dogs need. Whether your pup is a playful youngster or a sweet senior, I'm here to give them the love, attention, and care they deserve! I am a teacher so I am off for the summer until mid-August. Therefore, throughout the summer I have a very flexible schedule to take care of your pets! My boyfriend and I just moved into a different apartment, which has been an adjustment for our dog. Therefore, I cannot accept dogs in my home at this time. However, once he is comfortable, I would love to host pets in my own home!

Southside Flats pet parents share their Rover experiences
Alexander had been a wonderful help! He took care of my two boys (max and Charlie) so well. My boys absolutely loved Alex! He took care of them for several weeks (twice a day). He was always so prompt, great at communication and extremely great with our boys! Thank you aoooo much for all your help!!

Cindy was amazing! She went above and beyond for my two cats and gave detailed updates, along with pictures and videos, every day during her visit. She also brought toys to keep them active, scooped the litter, and cleaned the litter area before my return! I am so glad I was able to have that peace of mind while I was gone knowing my cats were being well taken care of :)

Rebecca was wonderful. She is very communicative and sent updates and photos with all her visits. She was thoughtful as well, remembering to address the cat litter (even when it totally slipped my mind to ask). I will definitely be asking her to watch my cats again in the future!
