“Michelle was kind and clearly cares about the pets she looks after. She followed all of our instructions and left our home exactly how we left it, which we really appreciated. There were a couple of timing and communication issues at the beginning, but once we connected, she was very responsive and made sure everything was taken care of. I appreciated her willingness to adjust and make things right. Overall, our experience ended on a positive note, and I would feel comfortable booking with her again.”
“Michael and Durell are lovely. Durell watched our dogs (one elderly dog and one very active puppy) at our home and they were very happy! Thank you!”
About: Ive always had a dog in my home 2 German shepherds and 4 small dogs. I loved taking care of Them whether it was walking them or giving them a bath it was like a companion Pet care fits into my routine by having a companion and just spending time with an animal. I no longer have a dog but it’d be fun to take care of some I have gave my cat her own play gym within my home and I take her on walks outdoors instead of her roaming the street on her own
“Susi takes great care of our cat, Glinda, and always goes above and beyond to make sure she’s happy and comfortable. We trust her completely and couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Five stars all the way!”
“Kara was awesome with Zuri, and she was able to help at the last minute. Lifesaver! Our dog likes very few people, and Kara was one of them. She sent updates and took great care of Zuri. 10/10 would book again.”
“Anna is so sweet and was so good with Maisie, sending updates and following her regular routine. she also took great care of our house - we came home to everything clean & tidy and Maisie loved her, we would definitely have Anna watch our dog again!”
“Nagham is a very conscientious and knowledgeable house sitter for our dog. She is super sweet with him and always gives us lots of updates while we’re away. We have relied on Nagham 4 times now and will continue to do so whenever we can.”

“Fernando has been our go-to since moving to Jersey city! Our dogs are always so excited to see him, and love their visits with him. Fernando is extremely reliable, communicates throughout each visit, and great to work with. Highly recommend!”
“Kristen had a calming presence that put our anxious dog at ease immediately. There was no panic when we left :) We were really happy with the experience and hope to work together again soon!”
“Maria gave our puppy, Dim Sum and cat, Gizmo such wonderful housesitting TLC while we were away! She is an absolute animal lover and provided great communication and updates while we were away - it was so reassuring as we missed our little fur babies while traveling!! We absolutely would recommend Maria for any of your pet needs - we will absolutely be tapping into Maria again for future stays!”
“Malgorzata was prompt on replies and got along really well with my dog who is normally cautious around new people. While on vacation she sent many photos and updates to keep me posted on the status of Jaeger. Great communication and when I returned he was happy and healthy!”
“Kier was absolutely AMAZING! He was so caring with my 2.5 year old Cockapoo - and sent me updates/photos multiple times a day. My pup looked like he was having way more fun with Kier than he does with me :). Thank you, Kier!!”
“Mel was an incredible choice for our not only our 3 year old cat, Yara, but our home. My husband and I took our honeymoon in confidence knowing Yara was in good hands. Everyday Mel sent us videos and photos of our girl and we could tell she was so relaxed with her. Mel was incredibly responsible, responsive, and went above and beyond for us. We will absolutely be booking with her again in the future if she’s available! (: Thanks Mel! - Angie & Ryan”
About: Ive always loved animals since I was young, I have babysat many friends fur babies bathed them, took them on walks , fed them and I can say its a really nice experience with rover I have the chance to meet many more. Aside from work I don’t really have much going on, being able to babysit fur babies will allow me to be more active and productive. I currently have 2 small friendly dogs that will help them be more comfortable and we live near a park that will allow me to walk let them and let them run and use some of their energy, if any fur babies need to be crated we also have crates at home.
“Stephanie was a wonderful sitter for our two cats. She is communicative and caring. She even created a cat toy contraption for my girls to play with while I was gone, amazing! I will definitely be contacting her again anytime I need someone to watch my fur babies.”
Clifton pet parents share their Rover experiences
Michael and Durell are swell hosts! The sent lots of photos and I can tell my Charlie was very content and well treated in their care. They were also extremely scrupulous in making absolutely sure that when they had more than one dog staying, there would be no question of compatibility. I would not hesitate to book with them again!
Olivia is a great pet sitter. She is prompt, courteous, and understanding of all questions and concerns while we were traveling, and she is great with animals as well. Her photo updates were also always timely and a pleasure to receive. I felt at ease knowing that our cat was in good hands!
Kathleen watched my dog for over a week and was a great dog sitter. She regularly sent photos and updates about their day, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was on vacation. She was also very quick and easy to communicate with throughout the stay. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a dog/cat sitter!
Vivian stayed with Opie for a few nights while we went on a trip. She was very punctual and sent frequent updates and photos. She was also very responsive if I asked for an update. She left our place in great condition and even brought in some mail and packages. Vivian was great, I would recommend her and book with her again!
Michelle was kind and clearly cares about the pets she looks after. She followed all of our instructions and left our home exactly how we left it, which we really appreciated. There were a couple of timing and communication issues at the beginning, but once we connected, she was very responsive and made sure everything was taken care of. I appreciated her willingness to adjust and make things right. Overall, our experience ended on a positive note, and I would feel comfortable booking with her again.
Nermina was fantastic. Easy to communicate with, really responsive, and worth every cent. The animals loved her instantly, even our very nervous rescue dog. Not only was she an amazing dog sitter, she was a fantastic house sitter. She sent multiple daily updates, photos, videos and all the pets and they all looked happy and content. I would highly recommend Nermina and will be booking her services again. 15/10
This is second vacation Leslie has house set for us. She is amazing! We have two rescue dogs that we wanted to leave in their home while we were away. She fed them, played and walked them and gave them their meds. Peace of mind knowing your fur babies are well cared for makes being away more relaxing. We had daily texts with photos which helped with our missing them too.
We were so grateful for Tuba’s services. She made herself available to come meet our boy Freddie on short notice, which was so helpful. She was dependable, very communicative throughout our time away and went above to make sure all of Freddie’s needs were met. Also, Freddie gets scared with thunder and fireworks, so she sometimes came back to him having made a mess of his puppy pads and she never complained but did anything she could to make sure his area was cleaned up and he was comfortable again. We felt very secure with her and would not hesitate to use her services again!
Alekhandra has watched our puppy twice now and she absolutely loves her!! She gets so excited when she comes to watch her. She follows all instructions and keeps us updated throughout the night with photos and videos. We appreciate her so much and highly recommend!
