“Kristin was the best. I have a new dog, and I was worried about leaving my dog alone for the first time. Kristin kept me updated and communicated frequently. She put me at ease. Appreciated her!”


About: I’ve had a dog in my home since I was 3. I’ve taken care of pups at all ages and all stages, I will love yours like I love mine. I believe they all deserve the best in life! I work from home so with them all day and close to a park for plenty of walks and outside time. I also have a dog who loves having guests and friends visit! I have a fairly spacious apartment and allow dogs to be on furniture and sleep with me and my pup. If you prefer crate I can accolade that as well!
“Kaitie is the only person we trust with our cats. She has shown up time and time again, providing excellent care for our kitties every time. I hate being away from home but I know that Kaitie is going to make sure the cats are safe, fed, and taken care of. She communicates well and sends lots of pictures. I love that there are multiple pictures of each cat so I can really see how they’re doing. I can say with certainty that if Kaitie didn’t have availability for a specific time, we would do everything in our power to change plans so that we could confirm she would be here to watch over our cats. That is how much we love her. Also, she always leaves our home so clean. She washed the cat dishes and sweeps which makes coming home so much easier.”
About: Hi, I’m Illary! I’m a dog mom to two pups of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone reliable, patient, and caring to look after your pet. I have experience with different dog personalities and routines, including administering medication, following feeding instructions, and caring for dogs who may be shy, anxious, senior, or need extra support. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for during every walk or visit. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I work remotely on East Coast hours, so I’m usually free after 2 PM during the week to help care for your fur baby. Whether they need a walk, a drop-in visit, feeding, medication, playtime, or just some extra love and attention, I’m happy to help make sure they’re cared for and comfortable. I’m also open to weekend availability depending on the need. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits only. I’ll follow instructions, keep pets safe, secure your home, provide updates/photos, and respect your space and routine.

“Sarah did a wonderful job caring for my cat! She was incredibly thorough in her updates and sent lots of pictures. My cat was very comfortable with her, especially in handling giving her medications. Would highly recommend!”

“Clarisse has been such an incredible cat sitter for us while we were away! This was our first time using a cat sitter and being away from our sweet kitty, and we had such an positive experience”

About: I am a patient, calm, and compassionate pet care professional with over 15 years experience working in various pets service jobs. From pet grooming salons both studio and mobile, pet boarding, pet sitting, dog walking, I have done it all professionally. I became a full time mom two years ago and I'm now i'm starting to have some free time to provide services again. I have a wide range of experience with all breeds and temperaments so you can feel sure your pet is in good hands! I'm currently a stay at home mom to a rambunctious 2 year old. She will be starting day care soon leaving me some time to do pet care services. My schedule is flexible! I'm always extra mindful of doors/gates, and will always take extra caution to ensure your pets are safe and secure when I enter and exit your home.
“Rose was excellent! She was friendly and communicative when checking in on our cats, and she went above and beyond by cleaning up a hairball and vacuuming up some litter. She gave great check-in notes and took some very funny pictures that we really appreciated. We could tell she really cared!”

“Evelyn is amazing!! She makes sure our dogs get quality play and takes the best pictures of them during her visits. It’s always a treat to see and hear how they did. She’s communicative, reliable, and the pups love her!!”


About: I'm a huge dog lover with a wide range of experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. I've dog-sat for neighbors, friends, and family, including dog sitting 5 dogs at a time. I have experience boarding a 4 month old puppy and also have experience with administering medicine to older dogs. I would be so excited to care for your pet! I am home during the work day and love going on daily walks around the neighborhood. I would be thrilled to have your dog as a companion! I work remotely from my apartment so I am always home M-F during work hours and love to have a furry companion. I love taking breaks in the day to go on walks around the neighborhood. On most weekday nights and weekends I am also available to hang out with your pet, with the occasional outting! I live in an apartment complex with a small balcony off of my unit. There is a dog park directly across the street from me. Your dog is welcome to sleep on my couch or in my bed if preferred!
“This was my first time using Isabella and she was great! She was very responsive and also sent super cute pics of my dog on his walk. She made me feel so comfortable that I’m booking her again this week. ?”

“Tina was amazing with Monte!! She was very kind and responsive - also sent me tons of pics which we loved. My 10 month old puppy can be a handful but Tina was patient and made sure to adhere to the current training tactics we’re working on with him. I’ll definitely be booking her again in the future.”

“Danielle was so great with my two cats! I really appreciated her quick communication and her flexibility with their changing routines, since recently moving to a home with a dog. Her care and attention towards them made me feel super at ease. I will definitely use her again!”

About: I specialize in cat only care and have many years of experience caring for cats with a wide range of personalities, needs, and routines. I understand that cats require patience, quiet observation, and respect for their boundaries. I’m especially comfortable with shy, anxious, senior, or independent cats, and I take time to notice subtle behavior changes, eating habits, and litter box routines. Whether your cat prefers affection or space, I meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe, calm, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care is something I intentionally make space for in my daily routine. I keep my schedule flexible so I can be consistent, punctual, and fully present during visits. Because I focus on cat only care, I’m able to give quiet, un rushed attention and adapt easily to each cat’s preferred routine, whether that means short check-ins or longer, calmer visits. I take safety and trust very seriously and treat every home and cat with respect. I carefully follow all care instructions, feeding schedules, and routines, and I’m attentive to doors, windows, and anything that could pose a risk to a cat’s safety. I keep a calm, low stress environment and move at the cat’s pace, especially with shy or anxious cats. I always prioritize cleanliness, communication, and making sure your cat feels secure and cared for while you’re away.
“Samantha is amazing! Our kitties were so calm and happy when we got home. Samantha is very professional, respectful of the space, and communicative- making us feel at peace when we are away from home. She sends great photos and left everything (litter boxes, water dishes, and food dishes) extremely clean. We have worked with Samantha before and hope to work with her again- highly recommend!”

“Marcie did a fantastic job looking after our cats and went far above and beyond taking care of them when one of them got sick after we'd left the country. She took Huey to the vet twice, administered medication, isolated him as needed while keeping him company, while making sure Slinky was well looked after as well. The boys love her as do we, and we hope to work with her again soon!”

“Phillip took wonderful care of my cat. He was communicative and provided nice updates about how my cat was doing throughout the week. My cat seemed content when I returned. The liter box was well maintained, and the apartment smelled clean.”

West University Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
I can't recommend Emily enough! She is incredibly kind, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about my senior pup. I always feel completely safe leaving my dog in her care, which gives me so much peace of mind. She's also an excellent communicator and keeps me updated every step of the way. Even when my family threw a few unexpected curveballs her way, she handled everything with patience, flexibility, and a great attitude. We are so grateful to have found her!

Tina was such a fantastic sitter for our kitty! From the beginning she was asking us lots of questions to make sure she could take care of our cat to the best of her ability in our home. She kept us consistently updated on how our kitty was doing, kept the house clean, and even gave us some good tips to help our kitty keep down her food better. Would not hesitate to have Tina cat sit again, and I'm sure our cat would be happy about it too!

Vanessa is an absolutely wonderful pet sitter! She does weekly check ins with our Great Dane. She is communicative, friendly, and goes above and beyond during her visits. She will do things for us even when unprompted (bring in packages from outside or practice tricks with our dog). Early on in her visits she texted me asking if there were more ways that she could engage with our dog and what her favorite activities are (frisbee, hide and seek). We are so lucky to have Vanessa! We trust her completely and know that our dog is loved and cared for when with her!

Carmen is the best! She is very detail oriented, communicative and really knowledgeable. We didn’t worry knowing she was caring for our cats and when we returned they were happy, well taken care of and our apartment was spotless. We couldn’t recommend Carmen enough!

Ana A. was very good with my two small pups and made me feel so much at ease. I had long weekend plans and was unable to bring my dogs with me, so I booked Ana to come feed them and walk them for 4 days. Ana was timely, communicative, very nice and I know my dogs felt comfortable and safe with her. This meant so much to me, thank you Ana!! Highly recommended.
Marcie did a fantastic job looking after our cats and went far above and beyond taking care of them when one of them got sick after we'd left the country. She took Huey to the vet twice, administered medication, isolated him as needed while keeping him company, while making sure Slinky was well looked after as well. The boys love her as do we, and we hope to work with her again soon!

Alena did a wonderful job all around walking and feeding my two pups while I was away overnight. She was kind, dependable, and responsive, sending me many adorable pictures from the walks. I could relax being away knowing my babies were in great hands. Look forward to having her her watch them again!

Our sitter did an amazing job caring for our pets. The flocked were clearly well taken care of, and Jerry looked very happy. Communication was great — they were very responsive and kept us updated the whole time, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away.

Sarah did an amazing job with my 1.5 year old lab puppy while I was gone on a work trip. Sent thorough updates, pictures, videos, and strong comms on both days after every drop-in. She even practiced the commands my dog knows to keep her mind occupied on top of playing with her. Will def be re-booking Sarah in the future.
