“Chris is so thoughtful and generous. She brought a big bone for my dog, cleaned up my house and left food for me when she left. How sweet is that! She's very caring and attentive. I definitely recommend her for anyone's fur-babies!! 💕”


“One of the hardest things about having pets is caring for them when we’re not able to. There’s just so much to worry about and too many nuanced details to convey to a house/dog sitter that it’s tough to be at ease. I’ll admit that I’m a little high-strung and using Rover for the first time for this service was not an easy decision. Fast forward to today…Heather is an absolute pro. You immediately get that she’s very experienced and respectful of your unique situation. She asks all the right questions and is an excellent communicator. Honestly could go on and on, but needless to say, we’re super pleased and I think found the high-mark on our very first try. We are already scheduled to see her again this summer and it’ll be the first time that I won’t worry about our dogs or home. Thanks Heather!”


“First time using Rover and we were very satisfied. Our puppies were loved and happy when we got home. The house was neat and clean and we couldn’t recommend this couple more! Will use again for sure!”


“Deanna was great! Responsive and took great care of our house, puppy, and two cats while we truly got to enjoy our vacation. She went above and beyond with what we asked her to do and will absolutely use her again for our next trip!”


“Jessica did a fantastic job staying with my dogs while we were out of town. She was very thoughtful and regularly sent updates and pictures. I will definitely be booking with her again!”


“Lauren was great with Nova, who was only a week out from spaying and needed to be kept (relatively) calm. It was nice not having to worry about her and could be fully present at my kid’s swim meet.”


“Terry is simply the best. If we could rate 6 stars, we would. She spent a tremendous amount of quality time with Izzy. This was our first long trip away from Izzy our dog in quite a while, but Terry relieved our anxiety with daily updates, videos etc. She is a great communicator. Terry is incredibly thoughtful and an amazing dog sitter who bonded with Izzy. She also took great care of our house which was immaculate with an extra special touch upon our return. Terry was amazing, and we and Izzy look forward to her next visit.”


“Taylor is a huge help and Maxwell loves spending time with her! She is attentive and makes sure Maxwell is entertained and has someone to snuggle with during the day. 10/10 for sure!”


About: Been taking care of dogs since middle school, been a dog walker in NYC for 4 years. Trained my family members pets and close friends. I work from home 2 days out of the week, my schedule is usually open during the week and flexible for your pet needs t. Your pet is free to roam around the house, dividers are up for safety. My schedule is very flexible so 98% of the time your pet has my attention.

“Grace was awesome!! Our husky mix can be a bit much for some people and Grace immediately did great with her the first time they met. She kept us updated throughout the stay and took care of our home as if it was hers!”


About: Hi, I’m Jenning — your dog’s new favorite human 🐾✨ I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years — from bouncy puppies to sweet seniors and everything in between. I’m that person who stops mid-conversation to greet a dog on the street, no shame. Whether your pup needs a long walk, some TLC while you’re away, or just a familiar face to help ease separation anxiety, I’m your girl. I live in a beautiful, pet-friendly apartment in Wilmington, DE with my own sweet dog (a total angel), and I treat every dog that comes into my space like family. Think cozy vibes, lots of affection, and a whole lot of tail wags. I work from home most days, so I’m fully present for the pups in my care. I’m also big on structure and communication — you’ll get regular updates, pics, and total peace of mind knowing your dog is safe, loved, and thriving.I’ve handled all types of breeds, temperaments, and special needs. High-energy? Let’s run it out. Shy and sensitive? I’ll sit with them until they’re ready. I’m here to make sure your dog feels at home, even when you’re not. Let’s get your pup on my calendar. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give pets the time, attention, and love they need throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday play sessions, or winding down with evening cuddles, I build my day around the dogs in my care. I’m super intentional about keeping a calm, structured, and loving environment — so your pet’s routine becomes part of mine, seamlessly. Whether a dog is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs, I always prioritize a calm, clean, and secure environment. In my home, dogs have designated cozy spaces to relax, constant supervision, and absolutely zero access to anything that could put them at risk. I keep my place tidy, dog-friendly, and peaceful — no chaos, just good energy and tail wags. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat the space with deep respect and follow every instruction to the letter — feeding, crate time, meds, routines — all of it. I always check gates, doors, and anything else that could affect a pet’s safety. I believe in clear communication, gentle leadership, and building trust through consistency and affection. Every dog is different, and I take the time to understand their needs so they feel secure, seen, and fully cared for — wherever they are

About: I'm new to the pet service job, but I've owned two dogs since they were puppies. I have visited cats to clean their boxes and play with them, on behalf of friends that went away. I'm currently unemployed doing part-time jobs, so I have a lot of availability. I love both dogs and cats, and don't mind playing with them. I make sure my 6-year old Jack Russel mix, Finn, gets plenty of exercise and socialization. I take long walks in my neighborhood and enjoy taking him to the dog park.

About: I have had my dog for years and have had a few cats as well as a bearded dragon and a snake. I have joined Rover to make some side cash while doing something I love: taking care of animals! I'm one of those people that things animals are better than humans and I will always protect them with my life. I currently work at a preschool 7:30-3:00, but depending on the commute and needs, I can stop by on my lunchbreak as well as before and after. If available, I am perfect to work weekends and overnight. I do have a few college classes that may interfere (depending on the semester at the time) depending on the needs. I am open to whatever you find your animal needs. Crating at night, you got it. Wants their dog to have someone to sleep with, you got it. Taking a 5 mile walk every day, you got it. I am used to bathing both cats and dogs no matter how difficult. I will treat your animal with the utmost respect and care that you show them.

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs my entire life. I love to treat them like they are little humans. Animals have always been a big part of my world, and I bring a calm, loving presence to every pet I care for. I’ve looked after both energetic pups and older cats with health issues—including one of my own—so I understand how to be patient, attentive, and gentle. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, medication, or just a reliable routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I work full time but I can pop in after work and on weekends. I am open to other times if it works for the both of us. My schedule can be flexible depending the week. I have two cats in my Household currently. I care for them everyday by cleaning the cat box, fresh food and water. They love play time and bed time is at 10pm. They are well trained kitties.

“Brooklyn was simply amazing!! Not only took care of our sweet pup, but amazing with the home and to top it all off a Christmas / New Year’s Greetig Card with Oakley’s pic on it. We Highly, Highly recommend her!!! & can’t wait to have her back taking care of Oakley again!!”


About: My fur baby genuinely makes every day of my life better. Pets are the purest form of love and trust, and it is so special that we get to share that! I love animals of all shapes and sizes, including ones that have more than 4 legs 🕷️ reptiles 🦎 or rodents 🐀 I have been pet/house sitting since my teenage years, for neighbors, family members, and by recommendation. I love the outdoors and being active, if your pet does too we are sure to have ourselves an adventure! Young or senior, your pet will have their needs tended to and their senses engaged (or respect their space if they prefer to have less socialization). I currently do freelance work and I can make and set my own schedule. I have a lot of flexibility to tend to your fur babies! I am a very empathetic human, so making sure your animal is happy and healthy fills me with joy! I respect and understand that every fur baby is different and has their own needs and personality. I look forward to listening & learning what your pet loves and needs!

About: Hi, I'm Leticia and I cannot wait to meet your fur baby! I love all pets and have a big family of my own consisting of pups and cats. I have raised them all and have experience caring for all their independent needs. I know how hard it is leaving pets behind during time away from home and I want to make that experience as comfortable and stress free for both you and your pet. How? I prefer caring for pets in their homes since they are already comfortable and have their favorite napping spots and all their toys handy. This takes away the anxiety of staying in a new home. For pet parents, I will gladly send as many updates as you want including pictures and videos to ease your mind and let you know that your baby is in great care and having fun! I also understand that sometimes life can get hectic and we need more helping hands to take pets for walks. I can guarantee that during our walks, your pup will have a blast while getting their steps in. I look forward to meeting your fur baby! I have a flexible schedule and have plenty of time to play with your pups or take them out for walks any day of the week. I have a small friendly pup who will gladly keep your pup company. I don’t mind sending as many pics or videos as you request to ease your mind.

About: I have a lot of experience with dogs and caring for them and im available early mornings and afternoons. I can provide assistance in dog care baths and etc playing and training. I have a big yard for the dog to run around and play in including toys for them and treats always provided. Your dog will love being there and always having attention and play time with or without other dogs. Also walking time i live in a neighborhood with sidewalks and long streets and grass for the dog to walk on and in. If you need anything specially provided i could handle that when you schedule for your dog to come in! I don’t mind any concerns or questions It’s my main priority sometimes things come up but i’m always willing to work around it and make myself available when needed for a service. I treat the pets just like my own. i love animals and taking care of them. So, lots of attention and loving for small doggies and big ones.

“Mary Ellen took care of my 2 dogs and cats. Mary Ellen is conscientious. She listened and took great care of our pets.

I highly recommend Mary Ellen.”
