“Bear and Lulu love Courtney! Another fantastic stay, and sent us great pictures and notes. Excited to bring Courtney back next time. We highly recommend Courtney. She is amazing with our fur babies, and so kind and responsive.”

“Maureen is an exceptional pet sitter. She took care of our fur babies when we were on a 15 day cruise. She sent pictures, short videos and updates every day! She's very conscientious about our pets physical and emotional well-being. We never worry about our pets when she's taking care of them.”

“Maria was amazing! She took great care of our three babies- and I know it can be a challenge with 2 senior dogs and a puppy with a lot of energy. She took them all on walks, played with and when we came home she had comforting dog music playing for them. She was very communicative, sent lots of pics of our buddies walking playing and sleeping. The house was immaculate when we returned. Highly recommend!”

“Jackie was great with our fur baby. She sent us pictures every day we were away. I will definitely have her again”

“Angie took great care of Ziggy while we were away for almost two weeks. She took him on lots of walks and sent us pictures and videos every day, which we really appreciated and helped us feel comfortable knowing he was happy and well cared for. Ziggy seemed to really enjoy his time with her, and we came home to a happy pup! Would definitely book Angie again in the future!”

“Alex was awesome! Being gone for a few days from my babies was so hard for us but She would update me on how our babies were doing by sending photos. All around I would definitely recommend her and will use her again in the future!”

“Bobbie S is an amazing dog sitter. She took such good care of our dogs and followed our instructions to the letter. Our dogs were in such a relaxed and happy mood when we returned just as if we had been there ourselves. 6/5 stars.”

“This was Sarah’s first stay with Bunny and she did great, kept us informed, kept the house tidy and when we returned, Bunny acted like we had never left, she obviously received her usual amount of spoiling. So glad we can count on Sarah for our longer trip next month!”

“Victoria is the best. She took care of my two pups for two days and sent me updates and pictures each day. They loved her. She also left my home cleaner than when I left! 100% would book again!”

About: I absolutely love taking care of my dogs and I treat any pets just as I do my own. I was especially drawn to Rover after long-term dog sitting these 2 wonderful Dobermans, it made me want to create even more special bonds just like that. I am genuinely so happy spending time around animals… I have always taken up dog sitting opportunities for family or friends and now I would like to extend my love out to your pets as well!🩷🫂 I am dedicated to giving your pup the best care possible. I am super flexible and currently offering dog walking, drop in visits, and house sitting during the week and on weekends!! Check my calendar for specific availability. I am used to incorporating 1-3 dogs + a cat into a daily routine (for several years). I really enjoy long walks and playing outside or even napping with my dogs. I have unconditional love ready to give to any pet… you are doing me a favor by allowing me the opportunity to get to know and love your fur baby🥹🫶 I will always make sure that your pet and I are both respectful of house rules while still having fun. I do try to work on small behavioral training such as sit and stay on a daily basis. I will always be on top of it to make sure your dog stays on schedule and give endless cuddles so they stay happy as well.

“100% recommend Alexzandria!! From the time I started messaging her she asked all the right questions about my dogs. She was very flexible and communicated well! I got daily updates without prompt! I was worried about finding someone for 2 dogs, especially one being a puppy but this worked out perfectly!”

“Cameron was amazing with our basenji puppy, who can be a little tough to handle. He was patient, calm, and really knew how to manage the situation. We felt totally at ease knowing our pup was in good hands. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been a vet assistant for over 20 years. I have been a pet sitter back in New Jersey. It’s what I love to do. Pet sitting is what I love to do. Rover gives me the flexibility to make my own schedule. Giving me the opportunity to give lots of love and attention to your fur baby or babies! I am only able to care for pets at clients houses as I do not have a fenced in back yard. I feel when dogs and cats stay in their own home they are more comfortable.

“Allie was a wonderful sitter for our two energetic Cattle Dogs! She was extremely responsive and available to come to my home for a pre-visit. She is friendly and approachable and best of all, really has a way with animals! One of our dogs can be a little reactive, and she put him right at ease. I had no concerns when we left for our nine day trip. She also cared for our five chickens, guinea pig, fish, and even watered our garden! She sent daily photos and messages to let us know that things were going well at home. Before leaving, she cleaned our house and put the bedding in the laundry, which was a nice touch. I would recommend Allie to anyone looking for a sitter who cares about her profession and is fun and lovable toward your pets!”

About: I have extensive, hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, ranging from household pets to farm and ranch animals. I grew up on a 7-acre property where I was constantly surrounded by animals, which gave me a strong foundation in animal care, behavior, and responsibility. I also spent time as a competitive horseback rider, which provided additional experience working closely with horses and other large animals. Alongside farm experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds, as well as cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and other small animals. I currently have two large senior dogs—a Boxer and a Shepherd/Husky mix—who I’ve raised since they were puppies, giving me experience with everything from early training to senior care. I’m familiar with the unique care needs of smaller animals as well. I also have a two-year-old daughter who is very gentle and animal-loving, and she enjoys being around and helping with daily pet care and walks when appropriate. Because she will often be with me, I kindly ask that you let me know if your pets are comfortable around children so I can ensure a safe and positive experience for everyone involved. My goal is always to provide safe, loving, and reliable care so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away, knowing your pets are treated like family. My schedule is flexible since I am a stay-at-home mom caring for my two-year-old daughter. This allows me to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day, with availability for morning, afternoon, and some evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. Because I am home most of the time, I am able to adjust my routine to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, check-ins, and any special care instructions your pet may have. I prioritize reliability and communication, so you’ll always know when I’m arriving and how your pet is doing. While I do have my daughter with me, I am intentional about only accepting bookings where I can ensure a safe, calm, and positive experience for both your pet and your home. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, trust, and creating a calm, comfortable environment. I make sure each pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box care, and any special instructions. I take time to understand each animal’s personality and needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. In client homes, I treat the space with the same respect I would my own—keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. I am reliable, communicative, and always mindful of both the pet’s comfort and the owner’s peace of mind. In my own home, pets are cared for in a structured, calm environment alongside my two senior dogs. I maintain a clean and organized space where animals can feel safe and relaxed. My goal is to build trust with both pets and their owners by providing consistent, attentive, and compassionate care every time.

About: Having grown up with dogs my entire life, I possess a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. My experience caring for family and coworkers' dogs has refined my skills in providing personalized care. I also specialize in working with reactive dogs, offering gentle handling and a calm environment to ensure they feel safe and secure. Your furry friend deserves the best, and I’m here to deliver it with compassion and expertise! I work full time but am off early around 3! On weekends, I prioritize flexible scheduling, allowing me to provide attentive care for your pet during the hours you need. Whether it's early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime. My commitment to reliable, professional care means your furry friend will never feel neglected, even on my busiest days! Gentle handling is at the core of my approach. I prioritize positive reinforcement, creating a nurturing environment where they can thrive. My focus is not just on their physical care but also on their emotional health, providing companionship and attention that makes them feel truly loved.

“Erica was fabulous. She kept me up to date on Digby with pictures and walked him regularly. He is a sweet boy but not easy to walk sometimes. Erica had no trouble handling him. She took good care of the house and even though we came home early had everything clean and tidy. I highly recommend Erica as a sitter! Digby gives his approval too! Thanks, Erica!”

Through years of hands-on experience, including caring for my own cherished cat and others' pets, I have refined my skills and approach to pet care. My unwavering commitment to reliability means you can trust me to be there whenever your furry family member needs attention. With me, your pet will not only receive expert care but also genuine love and affection, ensuring they feel safe and content in your absence. Thank you for considering me to care for your beloved companion. Working from home gives me the flexibility to adjust my schedule to suit the needs of your pets. Whether it’s rain or shine, I’m happy to take your furry friends for their walks! For dogs, I have experience walking strong and reactive dogs, as well as caring for senior dogs. I'm attentive to their needs, whether it's administering medication or noticing when they're feeling wobbly or experiencing hip pain during walks. I ensure they get the right exercise in any weather while keeping their comfort and safety in mind. For cats, I offer comprehensive care, including keeping their litter box clean and engaging them with enrichment activities. I also stay on top of grooming, such as nail trimming and teeth brushing, to keep them healthy and happy. Your pets will always be in great hands with me!

“She was very nice and reliable.”
