“Dong was super nice and was amazing with Lily, he brought her out on loads of walks and sent us plenty of pictures and videos throughout the evening. Would highly recommend!!”


“Elizabeth was patient and understanding with my dog Day 1 was very anxious for me cuz my dog always has "stranger danger" alert on but it didn't take awhile for my dog to get used to her and they became best friends right away! She sends updates and very prompt/ attentive when there was issues with my dog. She definitely knew what to do. would 100% recommend 😀”


“Schirn did a wonderful job watching my puppy while I was overseas on vacation. She sent updates and photos every day, and kept her occupied with lots of activity and play. I will (hopefully) work with her again the next time we take a vacation. Thank you!!”



“Meric made me feel so much better about having to leave my pups! He sent pictures regularly and when I got home, the boys were happy and relaxed! It takes the stress out of having to be away from my dogs.”


“Fernando and Milena took great care of our 2 pups for 5 days. They stricly followed all our instructions, sent tons of pics and were super responsive! We were super anxious about leaving our dogs while traveling, but Fernando and Milena flawless pet sitting made everything easier to us! Def recommend them and will book again for future trips!”


“Dinasty was a great house sitter for my Great Dane. It’s really nice to be able to rely on someone when you’re gone and get regular updates that your dog is well taken care of. A very smooth experience overall.”


“James did an incredible job pet sitting our two pups while we were away! He was incredibly communicative and proactively reached out to provide daily updates which was so appreciated. Additionally, he left our apartment just as he found it! We would 100% work with James again for future bookings!”



“Yuan and her husband were attentive to our puppies. We appreciated their quick approval of our house sitting and understanding of the situation we were in when we called them.”


“Lakshmi is a fantastic pet sitter! She looked after our cat Mac for about two weeks. This was the first time my wife and I used Rover, so we didn’t know what to expect with a stayover pet sitter. Lakshmi was pretty much everything we could ask for: conscientious, friendly, easy to communicate with, and a gracious house guest. Most importantly for us: she was very responsible with Mac right off the bat, getting to know his daily routine, feeding, toys, playtime, likes/dislikes, etc. We could tell Lakshmi also just likes working with animals… honestly Mac is usually scared of strangers and a bit of a diva 😅, but he really warmed up to Lakshmi during our trip. My wife and I loved getting the little photo updates as we traveled… we knew Lakshmi won him over once we saw the cat lounging belly up in the middle of the floor. My wife and I had never had to leave Mac for such a long time, and I’m happy to say we had peace of mind the whole trip. Lakshmi gets a big recommendation from us, and we’d definitely turn to her again to look after our little Mac.”


“Brittney was great. She took great care of my 2 fur babies. She was able to meet all my schedule requests and kept me updated on everything. Would definitely book with her again.”


About: Growing up, I have always been surrounded by animals. At one point, I wanted to become a veterinarian. I understand that when caring for pets you must be patient, kind, attentive and knowledgeable. Over the last few years, I’ve watched pets for friends, family, neighbors. I am on Rover to work with pet owners in my area (or in a decent vicinity) who are in need of some extra help. While in my care, I want you to feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, secured and being treated with love. Explore my profile and let’s connect! I am currently not working so I have flexibility to lean into my side job with pet care. If our availabilities align I would be happy to assist with your pet care needs. **Please be sure to fully READ my rates and availability times listed before booking** (HOUSE SITTING, DROP-IN VISITS or BOARDING) Whether I’m at a client’s house or caring for a pet in my home I will ask them to thoroughly walk me through their routine with their pet. What are the do’s and dont’s as far as house rules, feeding and walk schedules when caring for that pet(s). If a client brings their pet to my home, I will make sure my apartment is “child-proof” so the pet’s safety is ensured. Most importantly, I will make sure I have a few familiar items at my place that’s from the owner’s home so their pet can get comfortable. For Drop-in visits, please let me know if you would like me to feed them.

“Jordan helped us with a last minute cancellation. She was incredibly responsive and professional and my dogs loved her from the second she walked into the house. Will definitely use her again.”


“Emily was a GREAT sitter who stepped in at the last minute to sit with Samantha at my house for a business trip that I had. She is a true professional, communicative, prompt, and so easy going. Samantha was well taken care of, she sent me pics of feedings and fun and the house was clean and well maintained. I'll definitely be using her again!!!”

Harrison seemed happy and relaxed upon my return. I appreciate Sarah's reliable service and would trust her with dog sitting in the future.”


About: Hi there! My name is Jenid, and caring for dogs isn’t just what I do—it’s what I love. With over 5 years of hands-on dog care experience, including 3 years working in doggy daycare and overnight boarding, I’ve had the joy of working with pups of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s a rambunctious puppy learning the ropes or a senior dog needing a little extra TLC, I’ve been there! I currently share my life with my sweet Mal-Shi, and I also help care for my parents’ Yorkies and Shih Tzu, as well as my roommate’s spunky Jack Russell Terrier. I’ve even had a Pit Bull in the past, so I’m very comfortable with strong breeds too. I’m committed to making every dog feel safe, loved, and right at home. Whether your pup needs playtime, a relaxing walk, or overnight snuggles, I’ve got you covered! Let’s connect—I’d love to meet your furry family member! I currently work at a dog daycare, usually during morning shifts. That means I have plenty of flexibility for afternoon and evening walks or visits—and I always do my best to schedule around prior commitments to make things easy for my clients. I’m also experienced with administering medications, including pills and topical treatments—even for pups who are a little stubborn about taking them! When caring for pets, I prioritize their routine, comfort, and happiness. I provide regular walks, engaging play, personalized attention, and gentle training reinforcement. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions to ensure a smooth, stress-free experience.

About: I have over five years of pet experience, and I have amazing availability since I work from home. I also have a fit and active lifestyle which is perfect to becuase I love going on walks. I currently work from home which allows me to have all of the free time to care for your dog. This allows me to maintain the perfect balance. I allow the dogs to be free in my apartment. I only take care of one dog at a time to avoid any issues. During the walks I always keep the dog on a leash.


“Jazmin was a great petsitter! She was very flexible and gracious about our meet and greet time (even when I messed up our address) and came to meet him a couple days before our evening out. Our dog took to her immediately and had a great night hanging out with her at our place. She was gentle and considerate of his declining eyesight and arthritis and attentive to his needs. We'd absolutely request her again. Thank you, Jazmin!”
