“Geoff went above and beyond and I am very happy with his services. Followed all instructions left and is a great communicator. Lucky is looking forward to his next visits from Geoff. Thank you!”

“Ashley doesn't just take care of our two high-maintenance cats - she makes sure everything in the house is safe, secure, and comfortable while we are away! I know it's all in good hands when Ashley is here.”
“Enis was great with Teddy! This was our first time using Rover and we were very satisfied with the promptness and care Teddy received. Enis was booked somewhat last minute and was very accommodating, came to meet Teddy ahead of time and was able to stop by twice when we were out for the day. We received Rover cards and photos right after each visit which was so nice. Would gladly book Enis again.”
About: I have cared for pets, both my own and the pets of others, my whole life. I make sure pets feel safe, I follow their cues, and love to play. I’ve cared for both puppies and senior dogs, I’ve given medication, and know how to properly support when lifting a dog so as not to hurt them. I have cared for scared dogs who need gentleness, and sick dogs who need comfort. I believe in positive reinforcement and though can say “no!” with authority, I am against any physical punishments. I have de-escalated the advances of scared and angry dogs. And my pockets are always full of treats. I currently have a wide open schedule except for when I’m dropping my human child at school and picking up again at the end of the day. I would love to fill that time in between with playing with doggos and kitties. I am my dog’s mom, best friend, and humble servant. I have slept in the guest room with her when she’s sick, I’ve been her personal body pillow when she wants super close snuggles and forgets shes enormous and lies fully on top of me like a very wiggly weighted blanket. I have been her protector when another dog scares her and she needs to use my body as a shield. She doesn’t like the way her dad or human brother open the back door, so she feels confident in coming to wake me up despite other humans who could do her bidding. And I comply because I love her and I would do the same for any other pet in my care.
About: I have a dog and cat of my own! A small terrier mix that was found on the streets named Sofia and an orange tabby named Fin! I frequently spend time with my partners dogs which both came from shelters, so I understand that some dogs just need time and your presence. Whether it’s feedings, walks, cuddles, or just my presence for company, I am there. I’m currently a part time student so I’ll have plenty of weekday and weekend availability! Mondays - after 5 pm Tuesday - after 12 pm Wednesday - Sunday - anytime I am comfortable with crating and/or crate training if that is in the works. Whatever instructions or day-to-day things that make your pet comfortable, I am there for!

My services are available daily between 9 a.m. and 11:30 a.m., and I also have availability between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. The earlier slot from 8 to 9 a.m. is already booked, and I have other commitments after noon. I’m happy to adjust for your pet’s needs—whether it’s walks, feeding, or playtime—so feel free to reach out, and we’ll coordinate a time that works best. Safety and trust are at the heart of my pet care services. I ensure every visit is calm, secure, and tailored to your pet’s comfort.

About: I have fostered & boarded dogs over the last four years and have a dog of my own. I’m experienced with dogs of all shapes, sizes and special accommodations. Your dog will be at home, spoilt and will be cared for with and like my own dog. I work from home and am available the whole day to care for your furbaby. I provide playtime, enrichment, walking and potty breaks as needed. Your dog will always have the supervised company of my friendly dog. S/he will be allowed on all the furniture and can be crated if needed!
“Nicole was great! Booked drop-ins on pretty short notice and Nicole was flexible & gave great updates & pictures on our kitty who had actually just been missing for a few days & was recovering and had some slight injuries still-she was super sweet & helpful - would definitely use Nicole again!!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently care for three of my own, including two French Bulldogs and a senior Mini Schnauzer. I’m experienced with different temperaments, energy levels, and the extra care that senior dogs need. Friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and look after their pets, and I always make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I work during the week, but I’m available on weekends with plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. I can provide attentive care, playtime, walks, and a consistent routine to make sure your dog feels comfortable while you’re away. I have experience caring for multiple dogs at once and understand how to create a safe, calm environment. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any special needs. I prioritize safety, comfort, and making sure your pet feels secure and well cared for at all times.
“My boys and I just had our second booking with Andrew and it just keeps getting better!!! He is such an attentive, loving and generous sitter for my boys. I always know my boys are in the best of hands with Andrew!”
About: I have always been involved in pet care in my home for over 15 years. I have had experience with elderly dogs and cats of my own. I have pet-sitted in my neighborhood for puppies and for breeds different from my own dogs. I will use my energy to play with your pet and hopefully decrease their energy. I have a very flexible schedule since graduating college and applying to graduate school nearby. I have lots of time and availability for stop-ins during the day or bringing study materials to a client’s home. My yard is fenced in and I can take dogs for a walk in Brookdale Park nearby. I will administer medicine and play with dogs and provide them with a cuddly environment.
“So this was a very last minute & first time thing for me! Luckily Stephanie was able to accommodate me and come help with Myka. Stephanie spent some extra time with her and that means so much to us! Thank you again I will definitely be booking another visit!”
“Kelly is the absolute best. This was our first time on Rover, and her communications were clear and quick, and she did great work reassuring us that our pup was in good hands. Loved the photographs, and really appreciated the time she took to communicate with us by phone and by text. We’re only slightly concerned that our pup now likes her more than us! 😀 Hugely impressed with Kelly - she’ll take fab care of your pups.”
“Jonny did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats for a few days! There were no issues while we were gone and he kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the stay. Jonny’s calm demeanor provided enough safety for even our shyest cat to come out and interact with him! Would definitely book again!”
“Maryann was very good. She left detailed notes and took great pics every day for us. We felt at ease knowing Mini was being well cared for while we were away for the weekend. We highly recommend.”

Clifton cat parents share their Rover experiences
Christina was incredible with my cat! She was very thorough, caring, and treated my cat as if she were her own. Christina went above and beyond, even spending extra time with her most days. She also made sure my apartment stayed clean and provided constant pictures and feedback. I felt so grateful knowing that my cat was in such great care while I was very far away. When I returned, my cat was very calm and happy, which shows she remained relaxed while I was away!
Geoff provided amazing and attentive care for our 4 1/2 yo cat while we were away for 6 days. She was alone for the first time since we brought her home from the shelter 6 months ago and we were concerned about her getting lonely. He did a great job of earning her trust and keeping us informed along the way. We returned home to a healthy and well adjusted cat. Thank you, Geoff!
Kaitlin went truly above and beyond for us. During this visit she wasn’t feeling well and couldn’t drive, yet instead of canceling, she arranged for a family member to bring her so our cats would still be cared for. We were incredibly grateful for the extra effort and thoughtfulness she showed. Kaitlin has demonstrated her dedication and commitment time and again, and we feel very lucky to have her caring for our cats. We trust her completely and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
I book with Karen all the time. She knows what she is doing and she is very thoughtful. There was a power outage when I was gone and she thought to tell me while I was away. She was concerned about the automatic feeder. She also made sure that the cans I had for Sheba were put aside for recycling.
