Personalized care for your dog or cat - Parkville
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Parkville
“Kathryn and Jeremy were great, can't recommend them enough. They were extremely communicative both before Bella's stay and during, updating us with pictures etc throughout the day. The couple are very well versed in dog behavior/needs and asked all the right questions to make us feel confident Bella was going to be well cared for and safe. When we picked Bella up she was very comfortable in their home and was resting with Kathryn and Jeremy. If you are looking for trustworthy couple to watch your pup with love and attention, this is it!”
“Klaudia was awesome! Our elderly dog had a health crisis while she was caring for him, and she took him to the vet, was very good with communication, and really cared about our guy for 2 days while we made our way home early from vacation. Highest recommendation!!”
“Wonderful couple! They give your pet lots of love and ensure that your pet is happy and well taken care of. They send photos and updates on a regular basis. I would recommend highly to use this couple for dogsitting your loving pet! Amazing! I am definitely having them again!”
“Alan and Luis took fantastic care of our dog Maggie while we were on vacation. We received multiple daily photos. The photos assured us that Maggie was having fun and therefore we enjoyed our vacation that much more knowing that she was well taken care of. We will definitely use Alan and Luis again!!!”
“Jennifer and Inam were such great caretakers! I had a last minute trip for work and they were so flexible and accommodating on very short notice. I interacted mostly with Jennifer and I could tell how much love and care she pours into all the dogs. My pup was so sad to see her leave when it was time to go! Thank you for taking such great care of Olivia!!”
“Andrea was absolutely amazing! She was friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure our pup, Scooby, felt comfortable and happy during his stay. We loved receiving the regular updates with pictures and videos, it gave us such peace of mind while we were away. To top it off, she even gifted Scooby the cutest goodie bag when we picked him up! I highly recommend Andrea and will definitely trust her to watch Scooby again in the future.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Haoran and would absolutely give her 5 stars. From the very beginning, she asked thoughtful questions that made us feel confident and at ease leaving our dog in her care. Right after drop-off, she sent us a message with photos to let us know how our dog was settling in, which was incredibly comforting. Throughout the three days, she kept us updated with pictures and messages, and we could clearly see that our dog was getting plenty of playtime, exercise, good food, and enjoying time with the other dog. When we picked her up, our dog was calm, balanced, and happy—which says everything. We would recommend Haoran anytime. She has a beautiful space with plenty of room for dogs to play, and she took excellent care of our dog while keeping us consistently updated, which we truly appreciated.”
“Triba was wonderful and so professional to work with! We really appreciate how she handled our dog with separation anxiety - she made him (and us) feel comfortable with a day-long boarding.”
“Would definitely use Christle again! My boys came home happy and clean. It's the holidays so she went above and beyond and sent home the cutest Polaroids and treat gifts.she sent meaningful updates. Thank you so much!”
“Careen was wonderful with our senior dog and he loved her just as much as she loved him! She gave him lots of love and attention- I could tell he was very well cared for while we were away. We got lots of pictures and updates so I was completely at ease. We can’t wait to have Careen watch Shadow again!”
“Rumi was great! From the moment I arrived she was so sweet and I could tell I had found the right place to leave my little guy. She has a large fenced in yard that my pup was able to run in safely. I received lots of picture and video updates through out the day and he always looked like he was smiling 😊. Every vitamin and food regimen were followed to a T. Rumi will definitely be our go to! This was my first experience with Rover, but I will definitely not be looking elsewhere. Thank you so much Rumi, you made Sky's stay so joyous and peaceful!”
“Angela and Tommy are the best! Angela sent daily pictures of Dolly and provided updates which provided great comfort while we were away! Dolly had lots of fun and when she got home was a happy girl! So lucky we found her”
“Katie was wonderful. This was short notice and she could not have been more accommodating. Tully had a great time playing with the other pups and came home happy and exhausted. I highly recommend Katie.”

“My dog has bad separation anxiety so it’s very hard for me to leave her with anyone, let alone someone new! Janelle was great! She sent me daily updates and pictures and made phoebe feel loved. Soon after I left her there, my worries went away. I will definitely leave her with Janelle again!”
“Zoe did a really wonderful job caring for my dog Dulcie. Dulcie has a trauma history and is anxious and a bit unpredictable. Zoe was amazing with her and helped her feel safe and secure. It was Dulcie’s first time at a sitter’s and I was so thrilled it went so well. Zoe sent photos and updates, and I could not be more impressed and grateful. Zoe is amazing!”

“Yadira was amazing! Went above and beyond for me even though my booking ended up with sudden changes. Super flexible and understanding. Took great care of my cat too. I definitely had peace of mind knowing that my girl was in good hands”
“Leaving our two kitties for a week of vacation was a stressful thought but we were completely at ease with Raquel as our sitter. She was consistent and reliable, and sent awesome documentation of each visits along with TONS of cute photos. The cats clearly loved her and she went above and beyond to make sure our plants were well cared for as well. We loved having Raquel as a sitter and would recommend her strongly.”
“This was the first time I booked Le'Andra to do daily check-ins on my cat Gabby while I was out of town. She was great! Le'Andra always stayed in communication with me by text. And she did her best to still take care of my cat while also dealing with the storm and very cold temperatures we recently had. Le'Andra is nice and very friendly. I would definitely request her again the next time I need a cat sitter, and would also recommend her to anyone considering booking her on Rover.”
“Brittany is great... she is my go to cat sitter. She is reliable, my cats seem to like her, my house is just like I left it when I come home. Couldn't ask for more”
“All was well upon our return - thanks for all your help, Jillian! Our two cats definitely have different personalities. Glad you were able to connect with them both on their own terms 😊”
“Veronica was great! My blind kitty warmed up to her very quickly, which says a lot about how gentle and attentive to her needs Veronica was. She was very communicative and sent a chat and/or pictures at each visit, and my cat barely seemed like she missed me when I came back. Veronica will definitely be my first call next time I head out of town!”
About: I have been an absolute cat lover and owner since I was a little girl! Cats are truly amazing pets, and they hold a very special place in my heart. Growing up with them taught me how to read their body language, respect their boundaries, and understand their unique personalities, whether they are super playful or quietly independent. I know that cats thrive on routine and can be sensitive to change. Because of this, they deserve a patient, loving, and attentive sitter who understands exactly what they need to feel safe and happy while you are away. Whether your kitty loves high energy feather toy chases, gentle grooming sessions, or just having someone quietly sit nearby for company, I am here to provide that perfect balance. I treat every cat like royalty and will care for yours just like my own childhood pets!
About: I’ve had cats ever since I was five years old. At one point, I had 4 cats to take care under one roof. I have also been the go-to person in my family and friend group to watch their cats/animals.
“Marcea was beyond professional and very considerate. she gave detailed check ins and went above and beyond to make sure not only the kitties were taken care of, but took in our mail and did some cleaning/vacuuming. Do not hesitate to hire her for your pets!”

About: I have taken care of animals for 15 years and I am very passionate about making animals feel safe, comfortable and loved. I do consider myself a “cat lady” as I grew up with serval cats, along with 1 dog. I currently have 1 cat and she is my soul cat through and through. I give medication, deep-clean litter boxes, play with you pets and overall make sure your pet feels at ease while you’re away.
“Jill did a fantastic job taking care of my cats. She was very professional, attentive to any requests as well as the special needs of my youngest and treated my kiddos with love and care every day, including the days when the elevator gave out in my apartment complex. I was initially concerned about a sitter because my eldest is very skittish around strangers due to previous bad experiences with others, but I was surprised to see that she warmed up to Jill right away. 10/10. If ever I need to have a sitter for my kiddos again, I'll be calling Jill.”

About: I grew up surrounded by animals, and I've always had the responsibility of taking care of them. I've cared for family dogs and I help my daughter with the care of dogs and cats. I like to make dogs feel at home. I don't work, I'm always at home, and if I have to go out I always take the dog with me; it gives me time to take him out to do his business, play with him, and he always feels accompanied. I live in an apartment with a garden where they can relieve themselves and a gated parking area, but I still prefer taking them to the park to walk and play.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, and I currently have a dog back in Costa Rica who has a special condition and uses a wheelchair. Caring for him has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I’ve learned to adapt to his unique needs and rhythm, provide extra support when necessary, and ensure he feels safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. This experience has taught me patience, creativity, and a deep understanding of how every pet has their own personality and pace. From energetic pups to those with special needs, I know how to adjust activities, offer affection, and create a stress-free, happy environment. My goal is always to make each dog feel valued, cared for, and truly at home while in my care. Hi! I’m available throughout the week, depending on the service you need. I usually offer dog walks from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM, and I’m flexible to adjust to your schedule whenever possible. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. Feel free to message me so we can discuss details and find a plan that works for both of us. 🐾 I live in an apartment, with a small space, however the complex has a dog park and a large green area. It is a calm and quiet place
“We’ve been looking for an alternative to commercial daycare because our dog used to come home completely exhausted. With Janelle, we picked him up happy and relaxed, and I know he’d been well cared for all day, which made such a difference! She was very communicative and friendly, and we’d happily book with her again.”
“Noel and Martha were absolutely wonderful! Their home is perfect for fur babies and our 7mo pup had an amazing time. He was exhausted by the end of the day after all the fun and play. They kept us updated throughout the day and sent plenty of photos showing him playing, eating, and relaxing. It was such a blessing to have peace of mind knowing he was being taken care of and enjoying himself at that. We highly recommend and will definitely rebook in the future!”

I can give the care and attention your fur baby needs in your home or mine. 💗 I do have my own baby, but that doesn’t take away from how much love I can give yours. I can assure you my cat is shy but friendly and we will introduce them before any long or short term stay if you choose the option of pet care in my home.

I also have experience taking care of cats, rabbits, and other small animals. I’m currently a student at Charter Oak State College. I have lots of free time, so I have no trouble fitting into your desired schedule! Since I live in a house currently, I have a completely fenced yard and live fairly close to a dog park!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and chickens for over 10 years. I started by taking care of a friend’s Bernese mountain dog when I was 18, and it’s taken off since then. Over the course of 11 years, I’ve predominantly cared for larger dogs (Bernese, Greyhounds, and New Foundlands). What sets me apart from other sitters is that I treat the home like my own space and leave it just the same as when I arrived. I’m currently unemployed after being laid off. Right now I’m able to be in your home all day and night while caring for your pets. When I’m back to working full-time, I arrange with the owner for a neighbor etc to visit during the day while I’m at work. I typically care for pets in the client’s home because the pet is more comfortable in their typical environment. I ask ahead of time what the pet’s schedule is so I’m familiar with their routine.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 10 years old. I have experience taking care of cats, dogs, and small animals. I’m looking forward to meeting your pets!

“Kathryn and Jeremy were great, can't recommend them enough. They were extremely communicative both before Bella's stay and during, updating us with pictures etc throughout the day. The couple are very well versed in dog behavior/needs and asked all the right questions to make us feel confident Bella was going to be well cared for and safe. When we picked Bella up she was very comfortable in their home and was resting with Kathryn and Jeremy. If you are looking for trustworthy couple to watch your pup with love and attention, this is it!”
“Alan and Luis took fantastic care of our dog Maggie while we were on vacation. We received multiple daily photos. The photos assured us that Maggie was having fun and therefore we enjoyed our vacation that much more knowing that she was well taken care of. We will definitely use Alan and Luis again!!!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Haoran and would absolutely give her 5 stars. From the very beginning, she asked thoughtful questions that made us feel confident and at ease leaving our dog in her care. Right after drop-off, she sent us a message with photos to let us know how our dog was settling in, which was incredibly comforting. Throughout the three days, she kept us updated with pictures and messages, and we could clearly see that our dog was getting plenty of playtime, exercise, good food, and enjoying time with the other dog. When we picked her up, our dog was calm, balanced, and happy—which says everything. We would recommend Haoran anytime. She has a beautiful space with plenty of room for dogs to play, and she took excellent care of our dog while keeping us consistently updated, which we truly appreciated.”
“Would definitely use Christle again! My boys came home happy and clean. It's the holidays so she went above and beyond and sent home the cutest Polaroids and treat gifts.she sent meaningful updates. Thank you so much!”
“Careen was wonderful with our senior dog and he loved her just as much as she loved him! She gave him lots of love and attention- I could tell he was very well cared for while we were away. We got lots of pictures and updates so I was completely at ease. We can’t wait to have Careen watch Shadow again!”
“Katie was wonderful. This was short notice and she could not have been more accommodating. Tully had a great time playing with the other pups and came home happy and exhausted. I highly recommend Katie.”

I always prioritize secure leash handling, water breaks, and positive reinforcement. Your trust means everything to me, and I care for your pets and home with professionalism, love, and integrity.
“Zoe did a really wonderful job caring for my dog Dulcie. Dulcie has a trauma history and is anxious and a bit unpredictable. Zoe was amazing with her and helped her feel safe and secure. It was Dulcie’s first time at a sitter’s and I was so thrilled it went so well. Zoe sent photos and updates, and I could not be more impressed and grateful. Zoe is amazing!”

“We booked Wendy at the last minute and she was great taking care of our two dogs. She took very good care of our older Shiba and our puppy Husky. They were both very clean and happy when we picked them up. Would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Anita and her family sent photos and stayed with me on text letting me know how she was. She was very happy to help us and gentle with our husky who gets anxiety away from us! She is now the permanent person to care for our pup when we go away! Thank you Anita if I could give 10 Stars we would!❤️❤️❤️”
“I believe my dog had a good time thank you so much again. He is an amazing sitter and your dog will be in great care. Just don’t book him when I need him 😂. Honest guy and loves what he does.”
“Rene was amazing! She was extremely communicative and gave us great peace of mind leaving our older dog with her. Our normal sitter had a last minute emergency and, thankfully, we found Rene the week we would be gone. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely try and book with her again.”
“Our two dogs spent five days with Cruz. They came home happy, calm and healthy. No side effects from being away from us. It was obvious they felt safe and had great care.”
