“Jayden watched my 2 big dogs and cat for a week at my house. They provided frequent updates and administered meds and made sure my picky animals were all well fed. We returned home to a cleaner house than we left it. They were wonderful and I’m so grateful for their care!”
“Nicole was wonderful! She messaged me everyday on how my dog and cat were doing with pictures or videos. She stayed for like 10 days in our home with them so we are very grateful!”
“Evan was terrific - great with the dogs, good communicator, and he left the house in wonderful condition. We booked him at the last minute and would definitely book him again. Highly recommended.”
About: Hii! I’ve had at least 2 pets my whole life; cats, dogs, and even a ferret! I currently have 2 young cats that I absolutely adore. I’ve been dedicated to understanding animal behavior to make them as happy as possible. My best friend is a vet nurse, so there’s always a doctor on call! I’m a freelance photographer, so as long as I have my laptop and wifi, I can typically work anytime from anywhere. Unavailability otherwise noted in calendar Knowing your pet is best! I know our furry friends get mischievous when they’re bored, lots of playtime and mentally stimulating toys are key! And of course lots of treats and love
“Nicole is so sweet and communicative! She was quick to respond from the first message I sent her inquiring about her availability. She took good care of our pups and would be happy to have her watch our girls again!”
“Alexa was a very thoughtful, thorough, and kind sitter. She followed all the house rules and Nala rules. She left our home better than when we came back. We will definitely hire her again.”
About: I currently do not have a dog but my family do we have 3 dogs and just had puppies not too long ago that I potty trained. I have worked with the dogs in my house to make them calm. I do not work everyday and have alternative schedules, I go to the park daily and would love to have your dog come with me. I am very good with leash traing, and have taken the dogs or family members to parks many times I insure that no harm comes to dogs.
“Mia is a wonderful dog sitter! Charlie and Cooper had a great time with her while we were out of town and she was very communicative with a check in and pictures every day.”
“Elizabeth took amazing care of our dog and our home while we were away for a wedding this weekend. She is a great communicator, updated us every day on how our dog was doing, and our dog was in great spirits when we returned! We will definitely ask her to watch our dog again in the future and would highly recommend to a friend.”
“Manuela and Tomás are very friendly and warm people. They both are experienced dogsitters and ask the right questions, so you can leave your pup with them with peace of mind. They are respectful with your home. Can only highly recommend.”
“Claire was fantastic. From the moment we met her, she was warm, professional, and clearly experienced with dogs. She took exceptional care of my anxious dog, Balu, and we were so relieved to come home to a relaxed, happy dog. Claire kept us updated with photos and messages throughout our trip, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She stayed in our home and left everything spotless. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again if she’s available.”
About: Hello!! My name is Julia I’m 23 and I love animals. Ever since I was little I’ve always had a special interest in nature and animas especially cats! One of my favorite childhood memories is rescuing feral kittens in my neighborhood and finding homes for them. In my teens years I started dog and cat sitting for friends and family and ever cared for horses and rabbits in my high schools FFA. As of now I’m a painter and artist with a lot of time on my hands and would love to spend some quality time with your pets! When staying with a pet I like to follow a schedule for potty and feeding times since familiar routines can calm pets that might be anxious around new people :)
“Jasmine was amazing! She showed great compassion toward our pups and responsiveness to our concerns. One of dogs had GI symptoms from the start of her visit. Jasmine monitored closely and took our pup to the emergency vet for us (the pup is fine 😊)… this was an unexpected snag that took a lot of time and care. But Jasmine did it willingly and kept us informed throughout. We will definitely hire her again!!! (Oh! And she did a great job taking care of the house too!)”
“Ava was wonderful with our 3 pups. She knew how to manage their chaos and treated them so sweetly. She left the place looking great and really just went above and beyond. We will definitely be using her services again.”
“Quinn was fantastic. She was very responsible, and our dog, who can be a lot of work, loved her. She stayed with our dog at our home and was very neat and responsible. I highly recommend her!”
“Maya is the best! We love having her sit for us because she always exceeds our expectations. She walked, fed, played, AND trained Kenobi. He was so tired from all of the fun he had with her when we got home! Thank you so much again for accepting our last minute request, Maya. We appreciate you!”
Woodlawn pet parents share their Rover experiences
Rahmya was amazing! She was very flexible in setting up a meet and greet and instantly prioritized befriend Stormie. I got lots of updates and update pictures daily of stormie which made the whole process of being out of town much easier. I never felt like Stormie wasn't in good hands. The home was clean and perfectly tidy when we arrived back, which was so appreciated when returning from our trip. I would 100% recommend Rahmya for anyone looking for a pet sitter 💙
Claire was fantastic. From the moment we met her, she was warm, professional, and clearly experienced with dogs. She took exceptional care of my anxious dog, Balu, and we were so relieved to come home to a relaxed, happy dog. Claire kept us updated with photos and messages throughout our trip, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She stayed in our home and left everything spotless. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again if she’s available.
Mia was incredible with my cat Stormie! We were able to quickly schedule a meet and greet for her to meet Stormie and I could already tell she genuinely cared. She asked questions about feeding, whether Stormie likes to sleep in the bed, daily routine, and took notes when I explained some food changes due to Stormie's sensitive stomach. It is VERY clear she does truly love and care for animals. We had Mia watch Stormie for the weekend and came back to the apartment being clean, litterboxes were empty and freshly cleaned, etc. Mia sent regular updates as well with photos and videos of Stormie so I knew that everything was going smoothly. She also sent messages regularly about how they were playing with toys, how Stormie was doing, etc. I 100% will book with Mia again as I truly never felt more comfortable with someone watching my baby before now.
Jasmine is the epitome of caring combined with professionalism. She took care of my small shorkie for an extended stay and when i returned my pet was calm and well cared for. Jasmine checked in every day with a quick message update and pics to let me know how things were coming along. She even checked in on the plants as well. Highly recommend this sitter and will use her again
Dahlia was fantastic to work with. She was great at communicating and sent daily updates of our pups while we were out of town. I felt confident our pets were well cared for. She was respectful of our home as well. I would definitely recommend Dahlia for any housesitting and pet needs.
Marlicia is the best!!! She is a wonderful dog sitter and home sitter as well. My husband and I have used her three times now and will continue to do so whenever possible, she is attentive to the dogs schedules and routines, sends multiple updates and is always easy to get a hold of if needed. We can tell our dogs enjoy their time with her as well, when we come home they are relaxed and happy, which is truly the piece of mind we need. She also has had to manage random scenarios that came up and is so go with the flow. For example The first time we used her services she had to facilitate our movers dropping off all our stuff while we were on a cruise and not reachable for some time 😱 she also even gave us a present when we came back from our wedding trip, which meant a lot to us! she is excellent at long stays as well, all three times we have had her stay with the dogs we were gone for 8-10 days. Plus she is able to walk our 90lb Doberman and 50lb Aussie at the same time (not easy to do at all!) and we could tell she had experience with all different dog breeds and sizes. I cannot recommend her enough!
