“Wonderful sitter! He was able to watch our 5 cats on short notice and did such a fantastic job! He kept us updated with photos and messages. Our cats loved him and really warmed up to him fairly quickly which was a huge plus! He did all of the requested tasks and spent time with our cats and played with them. Definitely will use him again in the future. Seriously such a great sitter!!!”


“Ava was so wonderful with both Business and Frankie. Frankie, in particular, is very skittish and scared around new people but Ava was so patient with her which helped her come out of her shell. Ava went above and beyond what was asked and we will definitely be booking her again!”

“Danae is highly professional and responsible. She did a great job taking care of our cats and keeping us informed on how they were doing. She asked questions if she was unsure of what to do. Highly recommend her for cat sitting.”


About: What sets me apart is my experience with both puppies and senior pets. I’m patient, attentive, and skilled in giving medications, basic training, and handling special needs. Pet care fits into my routine by prioritizing scheduled walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins daily. I plan my week around each pet’s unique needs and habits. I care for pets by following their usual routine, providing food, exercise, playtime, and medications as needed. I ensure their safety, comfort, and emotional well-being.

“Raquel took great care of our boys while we were away and was very responsive and prompt. We will definitely request her again for future trips and would recommend her services to others!”


About: Hi! I am a lifelong animal lover with decades of experience caring for pets- my own, as well as those of friends and family. To me, pets are family- and I understand just how much they mean to the people who love them. That's why I believe it's so important to have someone you trust, that will care for your pets with the same love & attention that you would. I'm here to be that person . I work from home so this gives me the flexibility to provide consistent care- whether it is walks, feedings, or check-ins. I'm able to adapt to their needs. I do have a fenced in yard; but I like to create a calm, safe space for my animals and I have a routine to ensure consistency. And not to mention, that they get lots of love and attention!

“We went on a 10 day trip to Europe. One of our dogs is a pit/rottie mix so we were especially worried about a sitter entering the house while we were away. Helene was amazing. She got along with the dogs wonderfully. We received photos of our babies playing every day. It was such a relief. We weren't worried at all with our dogs in Helene's care. Helene helped make our vacation worry-free.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, birds, and hamsters for many years because it’s what I love to do. I have a huge heart when it comes to animals, they keep me happy and, make me feel complete whenever they’re in my company. I’m normally free Fridays after work around 2pm, all day Saturdays, and all day Sundays. I am also willing to make some changes if necessary. I do not own any pets at this time and I don’t have any small children in the house. All my attention will be on the pet that’s in my care whether care is taking place at my home or clients home.

About: I've had a love for animals as long as I can remember. As a young child finding strays , cats or dogs and caring for them until the owners where found. Love these fur babies and will care for them like my own. I am currently unemployed and love animals and walking -perfect fit! My schedule is open to help when needed. Would love to schedule a meetup with your fur baby. Each pet has its own routine to be discussed prior to my care. Will follow the needs of each pet individually and any additional requirements as needed.

About: *** Please don't send me requests for dates if you see my calendar is already blocked off with those dates & PLEASE READ MY ENTIRE PROFILE BEFORE BOOKING *** I keep my calendar up to date so use other dates if Rover insists you must pick dates for sitting in order for a message to go thru** Also, if booking for day care, after 4 hours of a stay, this is going to get the full day rate because I do not take multiple dogs I am also charging for 3 days when it's a weekend if the dog is coming early on Friday and going home on Sunday because I can't have a dog for 3 days and only get paid for 2 days. I have only raised my rate by $1-2 since Covid & take one family of dogs at a time. Please respond back to all messages if you reach out. Thx. ** I am trying to take dogs now under 50 pounds, very small/small to medium preferred. It would be very helpful if you list the specific breed of your dog too and give details. No aggressive breeds taken, sorry, no Pitbulls. My husband and I both work from home as my only job is caring for the dogs staying at my house. It is nice because someone is always here and the dogs get a ton of attention. My name is Hope Landow-Schnur and I adore dogs. I raised my own dogs for over 14+ years - Bailey and Jango. Everyone that knows me, knows that I am the ultimate pet lover and treated my dogs as well as my children. We have a nice home in River Vale, NJ with a huge 6' high fenced in yard. I am married with triplets - 22 years old and they love playing with our guest dogs. I have my own big crate set up (only if you crate your dog) and ready to welcome your dog(s) into my home when you need to be away overnight or for an extended period of time. I will do my best to keep your treasured pet on their own schedule with feedings, playtime and time outside running around the back yard or if you prefer, walks only. I've made floor dogs into lap dogs, they get extra spoiled with me! You will also get lots of photos & updates when you are away. I just recently changed my setting to small to medium dogs if you are a repeat customer and can not find me on line. I'm also available for dog day care in my home if my calendar is free. After 6 hours, it is considered a full rate instead of the daily rate if you plan to leave your dog with me. Looking forward to hearing from you & I respond back promptly! Thanks. Hope

About: I had an Akita for almost 10 years and have had many dogs in the past. I took her on long walks and gave her baths and fed her. I would also have to give her medicine occasionally when prescribed. She was the best dog I could’ve ever asked for. I am currently working part time but I am available most of the week during the day. I would love to fill my mornings with activities. If instructions are provided I will do what is required of me. I have a huge fenced in backyard if boarding is required at home.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 10 when I got my dog. I joined Rover 6 months ago and have experience walking, feeding, playing with, and caring for various types of dogs. I care for every dog as if they're my own! I just got home from college and am looking to make some money as I take a remote class this summer. That being said, my schedule is pretty open and flexible! I am very respectful of other's spaces and make sure to follow instructions carefully. I pay attention to detail and am a high energy individual. I truly love dogs so much and am happy to help take care of them when owners' lives get busy.

About: I have years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including walking, bathing, and ensuring their overall well-being. I previously worked as a dog bather, giving me hands-on experience with different breeds and temperaments. As a dedicated pet lover with three dogs of my own, I understand the importance of patience, exercise, and affection in pet care. Friends and family have come to me for years to look after and walk their pets! My previous experiences has equipped me to handle various energy levels and needs, ensuring each pet gets personalized attention. Whether it’s a fun walk or just some extra love, I always prioritize their happiness and safety. Pet care fits naturally into my routine as a college student with a flexible schedule. I have Mondays, Fridays, and most weekends free, along with availability on Tuesdays after 2 PM and Wednesdays after 12 PM. My schedule allows me to be reliable and accommodating. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, routine, and well-being. I follow any specific instructions provided, ensuring meals, walks, and playtime align with their usual schedule. I provide fresh water, give plenty of attention, and make sure they get the exercise they need. If needed, I can also handle light grooming, such as brushing or wiping paws after walks. I always respect the client’s home, keeping it clean and secure while ensuring their pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for in their familiar environment.

About: I’m a recent college graduate with degrees in Education and History, and I’ll be starting my career as a teacher this September. For the I’m looking for meaningful summer work—and what could be better than spending time with animals! I’ve been caring for both my own pets and others’ for over 8 years, and I bring the same level of responsibility and attention to detail to pet sitting as I do to the classroom. I’m punctual, dependable, and full of energy—whether your pet needs long walks, playtime at the park, or just some extra love and attention, I’m happy to provide it. I’m also experienced with a wide range of pet needs, including puppies. I am available Monday - Thursday (after 2:30) as well as Fridays and weekends (any time)! I begin teaching high school in September and availability will differ. In my own home, I spoil my little babies 🥰 I feed my cats dry food twice a day, stock their water fountain with water, keep the dry food stocked, and clean their litter boxes. I give them outside time as long as they stay close or just have the back screen door open to let them see, smell, and hear the nature. Occasionally, I will take them in walks in the kitty stroller with the dog on the leash. When taking care of other people’s cats, I treat them with the same love I would my own. I am happy to care for them in all the same ways, including spending time with them, not just running in and out to feed and clean. I also usually provide photo updates. I take care of my dog by feeding him dry food, letting him out every three hours, taking him on walks as often as possible, giving him snuggles, playing fetch, giving treats, etc. so pretty much treat my dog like a king. I am happy to do the same for you!

Hayley W.
“Hayley has watched my dog before, and she proved to be a great dog sitter who was very responsible. She was extremely reliable, and I was very content with the care I received. She fed, walked, and played with my dog while I was out of the house. I am so grateful that I was able to leave the care of my dog in such great hands!”


Carley G.
“I have known Carley G. for over eight years and during this time I have observed the dedication, loyalty and sensitivity that she has for our four legged friends. As a pet owner who is way too attached to her dog, I enthusiastically recommend Carley as a conscientious and caring pet sitter. I know that she will care for our two boxer puppies as I would. I am more comfortable leaving my animals with Carley because she really relates to each animal individually. Every dog she keeps forms a bond with her. When I leave my babies, it is important for me to know that more than her physical needs will be satisfied. The affection that she receives from Carley makes her separation from me less stressful.”


Sophie P.
“I am delighted to provide this reference for Sophie, who has been caring for my pets while I’m away. Sophie is trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely loves animals. She has looked after all 4 of my cats and my dog on multiple occasions, and I always return to find them happy, healthy, and well-cared for. She takes the time to understand each pet’s individual needs and routines. Whether it’s administering medication, keeping up with feeding schedules, taking the dog for walks, or simply giving them plenty of affection and attention, Sophie handles it all with great care and professionalism. Knowing that Sophie is looking after my pets gives me peace of mind whenever I travel. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and caring pet sitter.”
