“Laudianny was absolutely fantastic! I was so anxious to leave my dogs for a few days but she made the experience seamless. Great communication, super kind and each pic I got the boys looked so happy. Would highly recommend.”


About: I bring attentive, knowledgeable care tailored to your specific creature and their specific personality. I've been pet parent to dogs of all sizes, from Chihuahuas to Great Danes to my current Sheepadoodle — there's no dog size or personality that's too much or too little, IMHO. And my experience extends well beyond dogs — cats, snakes, farm animals 🐐, and more. I also happen to share my home with a ball python named Fettuccine Alfredo 🐍, who is a distinguished, low-drama fellow. As a plant parent, I will watch after yours indoor jungles, outdoor gardens, that one fiddle leaf fig you're nervous about. If you need someone who will actually look at your monstera and not just splash water in its general direction, that's me. (My avocado tree, grown from a pit, is thriving. I'm not taking questions.) Housesitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, basic training — I've got you. And if you're going away and need the whole ecosystem looked after, pets, plants, and all, I'd love to meet you. Pet care fits naturally into the rhythm of my week. My mornings are consistently free, which works well for walks and drop-in visits, and I have flexibility on Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends for longer stays or housesitting. On days when I'm teaching in the afternoons and evenings, I'm still available in the mornings — and I keep my schedule intentionally manageable so I'm never stretched too thin across clients. This isn't something I'm squeezing in around a packed schedule — it's something I've made genuine room for. When I'm in your home for drop-in visits or housesitting, I treat it with the same care and attention I'd give my own. That means following your routines exactly as you've set them, keeping things tidy, and making sure your pets are comfortable and unstressed in their own environment. I take detailed notes at meet-and-greets so nothing gets missed while you're away. On walks, I keep dogs leashed and attentive to their individual energy and needs — a reactive dog gets a very different walk than a social butterfly, and I know the difference. I bring over thirty years of animal experience to reading body language and behavior, so I'm not caught off guard by much. My own home includes a ball python and two cats, so I'm well practiced in managing a multi-species household safely and calmly. I don't offer boarding, which means your dog's visit to my home would only ever be for a meet-and-greet in a low-key, relaxed setting. In any situation that feels off — health, behavior, anything — I err on the side of contacting you immediately and getting to a vet if needed. You'll never be left guessing.
“Jonathan was great! He took extremely good care of my cats when I was away. He sent a ton of cute pictures and ensured everything was in working order. Highly recommended!”

About: My name is Jacob and I love dogs! I’ve been walking them and training them since I was seven-years-old. I have experience with dogs both big and small as well as breeds such as pit-bulls, mastiffs, and labradors. I’m comfortable with any type of dog. As for my previous experience, I used to walk dogs in my neighborhood in New York City where I grew up. I also love cats! I have a nice fluff-ball named Deebo. I love the little guys! I have references and will provide them upon request. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I work night shifts starting at 10:30pm (starting on May 18th) but I’ll be available during the day and evening. Mornings are best, but I’m flexible. I will treat your home with the utmost respect and will cherish your pet. I take pride in my work and will ensure that it will seem like I was never there.
“I’ve booked Alexandria twice now and hope to do so more in the future- what can I say, I feel secure and confident in her services. She's reliable and warm, so food with my beast. Super knowledgeable about cat behavior and full on helpful advice; thank you, Ali!”

“Diana took great care of our cats while my husband and I were away for a few days. She was attentive to detail and communicative and our cats loved her! We will search for her on rover again next time. Thanks, diana!”

“Shelly has been checking on my doggie, few times per week on regular basis, for the past few weeks. She is very kind, caring, reliable and on time... My puppy has had some GI issues couple of times during this time and Shelly has been very caring for her. My little pooch luvs Shelly so much! she looks at the door, excited, looking for Shelly when ever I mention Shelly’s name! I’ve been feeling really at ease and peaceful, when I know she is coming to check on my doggie. Thank you very much Shelly :)”

“Jennifer was responsive, thorough, and very very kind! My cat loved hanging out with her and she was very happy to help in anyway. I will definitely be booking her again!”


“Very pleased with the care and attention Tasha gave to my babies. I left detailed notes to which she followed. Highly recommend Tasha to care for your furbabies.”

About: I’ve had the joy of being around dogs for as long as I can remember, growing up with both small and large breeds since I was a little girl. Caring for them is a lifelong passion for me. I love not only spending time with dogs but also training them, learning about their unique personalities, and making sure they feel happy, healthy, and understood. My goal as a sitter is to give each dog the same level of love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is thriving while you’re away. As a freelance artist, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to tailor my day around the needs of the pets I care for. My work in the arts gives me the freedom to be present for regular walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. Because I can easily adjust my routine, I’m able to give each pet consistent attention and love. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my own home or in a client’s home, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I make sure pets are in a secure environment that they are free from hazards, with access to fresh water, comfortable resting areas, and plenty of safe play space. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, from feeding routines to exercise schedules, and keep a watchful eye on the pet’s behavior and well-being. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and ensure it’s kept tidy and secure. My goal is to provide both the pet and their owner with peace of mind, knowing they’re in a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment.
“Fallon was a fantastic cat sitter for our cat, Yuki. She was professional and flexible, accepting our last-minute request and handling a slight mix-up we caused with ease. She sent us daily photo updates, which made us feel completely at ease during our two-week vacation. We came home to a happy cat and highly recommend her!”

“Tosha was fantastic. I left for a longer than usual time on vacation; and Tosha came by on daily basis to watch and check-in on my cat, Buddy. Tosha was communicative, helpful, and did a wonderful job watching over him. She even went above and beyond to help clean up after Buddy when he made some messes in the apartment. I'm very grateful for her help, will book her in the future, and recommend others do as well.”

“Brionna is AMAZING! I have a 2 year old cat that I recently adopted and was nervous as this was the first time I would ever be away from my kitty but Brionna’s calm and kind demeanor quickly put me at ease! She was so communicative leading up to the visit and throughout. Her daily photos and remarks let me know that Tortellini was safe, cared for and comfortable! Highly recommend and I’ll definitely be asking her to take care of Tortellini again :)”

“Binta was a wonderful sitter for my Cleo! I appreciate how she took the time to get to know Cleo and wrote meaningful updates. Cleo is a shy, reserved girl but Binta was able to get through to her! I hope to book with Binta again in the future. Thanks for everything, Binta!!”


“⸻ Let me just say—after my first two dog sitters, I almost gave up on this app 🙂. But I’m so glad I found Victor. He is incredibly kind and truly cares. My dog absolutely loves him—he wags his tail and gets just as excited to see Victor as he does to see me, which says everything. Victor is also very reliable. He doesn’t just stick to the exact booked time or show up late like others. He often arrives a few minutes early and sometimes stays a little longer, which I really appreciate. It shows how genuine and dedicated he is. I also have a camera at home, since my dog can’t tell me about his day—and it’s clear that Victor treats him with care and attention. That gives me a lot of peace of mind. He will definitely be my to-go dog sitter moving forward!”

About: I worked 1 year in pet boarding. And bath groomer. I cared every single breed and also cared a lot cats. It’s amazing !!!I loved it I’m available to play all afternoon. I really love spent my time with them. In the morning I have a job but I’ve arrived always early to my home. I always take care to them. Hours to eat, hours to play, to go to walk, most importantly make feel the dog comfortable and also the costumer. I am currently not working but have a few errand along the day. In the morning as soon as I wake up I would take care of the cleaning pet area, feeding and walking if needed. I would repeat the process in the afternoon. I make sure to keep everything as clean as possible, separate the pets as directed by the owners, also feed and walk (of dog) twice a day or as directed for the owner
“Wendy was great with Nash! She followed all my instructions, communicated during the visit, and even sent me a photo! Her visit was very helpful and took the worry out of being gone for the day. I will definitely book Wendy again!”

Brandon is an exceptional sitter! He got back to me in a timely manner even when i requested his services a bit last minute. My German Shepherd pup loves him and I feel comfortable leaving him in his care. He kept us updated if anything happened and even took some cute photos of our kitty at home. If you’re looking for a trustworthy sitter, Brandon is your guy!

Anna-Laurie was a blessing, through and through. She took GREAT care of our two lil feline furballs— with excellent report cards that were so personal, thorough, and full of photos. She has an excellent personality to boot 👢Will 110% rebook with her in the future (and you should too).

Emily was a great drop-in sitter for my 2 cats for 11 days. She responded quickly to my initial request that she was available. Emily came by my apartment to meet the cats and go over their care before the scheduled visits. She checked in daily and provided pictures. I wouldn't hesitate to have Emily care for my cats again.
