“Sarah looked after my three cats at very short notice when I had to go out of town unexpectedly and she was wonderful! Incredibly diligent and kind, she went out of her way to make sure my three fur babies were taken care of, even making sure Gertie (who loves her food!) didn’t steal the other two’s food. She checked in with me twice a day with photos and updates, which gave me huge piece of mind while I was away. I can’t recommend Sarah highly enough! Will be booking her again, that’s for sure!”
“Alyssa was so attentive to our dog’s needs and ours as well before and during our vacation. She asks the right questions, listens and responds beyond that. Thank you again!”
“Danae was so sweet and communicative while dropping in to take care of our cat, Luna, during the Thanksgiving holiday. Would be happy to hire her again and again!”
“Colleen is an excellent sitter & great with animals. She made sure both our cats were well looked after & sent us lots of great pictures. I would highly recommend if you need a pet sitter.”
“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.”
“Was amazing with my 3 month old pup. Yazmine sent tons of photos. My puppy looked happy in all. I would highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since i was very young. I love dogs and I am my family’s and neighborhood’s designated dog sitter! I will do whatever I can to make your dog happy! I am a college student at the University of New Haven, so i am available any time i’m not in class. Most of the time on Monday and Wednesday i’m available. Tuesdays get a little busy for me, but Friday, Saturday, and Sunday i’m available all day! When i care for a dog i like to take it on lots of walks and i love to play with them. Whether it’s throwing a ball around or playing tug of war I like having fun with them, and i always give a treat when we are done!
“Wonderful job taking care of our bunny. Daily drop ins were a success. She went above and beyond when our bunny ran out of pellets and ran to Petco for a refill. She even brought in our mail daily. She provided updates and pictures daily! I would totally trust Jenn in the future! She makes it easy to vacation knowing our bunny is in good hands.”
“Alyssa has been great!! We have her drop in to play with our puppy during the day and She is very reliable and communicative and has taken great care of our puppy. Always on time and responsive. We are so happy to have found her on Rover. Highly recommended”
“Maia is the absolute best! We’ve now used her three times to watch our dog. We are slightly anxious dog parents but she is so good with our pup, we don’t have to worry. You can tell how much she loves animals. Plus she sends regular updates.”
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'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: Although I do not have much professional pet sitting experience, i really have a soft spot for caring for animals. I believe that animals are the sweetest souls and I have owned animals all my life.And with animals at home I care for them deeply. I can help with pet sitting, feedings , walks, cleaning their areas / crates, bathing , etc. I also have a tabby and a chihuahua at home ! :) And can care for additional animals (feeding fish, turtles , hamsters etc) I work as a full time teachers assistant so I work from 8am - 3:15pm. I can help anytime afterwards and also weekends full time! I can easily provide help to your pets during moments of stress and discomfort. If needed I can help them in their crates / beds. I am fully vaccinated and fully background checked in new york state as I am in the education field. Your pets and homes are safe in my hands! :)
About: I have had 4 large dogs in my adult life. My last 2 (bother & sister) are now over the bridge. They were trained to the point that they never needed a leash in most situations. I took them wherever I went. We did lots of outdoors. I have property upstate in NY also. Any dog is part of my life, my family. Happiest when they're around I am currently not working after dealing with an illness. However, I'm fine, fit and active. Nothing but time for hanging with any pets. Being without my own, I look forward to sharing my days with them. I have a fenced in yard right on a park with a large pond. Dogs can come & go as they please. I have lots of time to spend with them almost every day. If I have to leave the house I would take them with me.
About: I provide consistent reliable care; adhering to feeding schedules, outside/indoor activities, spending quality time, and administering any required medications. I also provide ample cuddle time! I’m pretty flexible with my daily and weekly routine. I have an open schedule, which allows me the time and flexibility to meet your pets’ needs. I love spending quality time with pets - providing affection (if your pet consents), mental stimulation through activities or toys, and overall providing a comfortable place for your pet.
About: Animals are the center of my universe. I grew up with animals of all kinds; cats, dogs, bunnies, hamsters, birds, fish, ferrets. I’m currently a mom to a female golden retriever, two beautiful ferret daughters and a baby boy bird. I hope to retire one day and own an animal rescue farm. I believe it is our job as humans to give all sentient beings the absolute best love and care and to make sure they feel safe. I am keen to make sure wildlife is safe wherever possible. I’ll pull over on the side of the road to help turtles cross to the other side of the reservoir. On a daily basis I will prioritize every animal from the moment I wake up. I can and will do it all. Feeding, cleaning, walking, playing, giving them love and attention. As I mentioned above, animals are the center of my universe. I want each and every animal to trust me and feel safe with me while under my care.

“So grateful to find a person like Christina. Took such great care of my dog Pecas . I definitely will recommend her to anyone. Your dog will be in great hands.”
About: Since I could remember my household was full of animals from dogs, cats, bunnies, and more. I love all types of animals but dogs are my sweet spot. I work a part-time job for the summer so my hours are very flexible and i’m more than willing to take any dog so long as it can fit into my schedule When it comes to pets whether they’re mine or a clients i ensure that they are consistently fed, walked, and given time to play outside in my backyard. I enjoy playing them too either with toys or just running around with them.

She's good with my neighbors cats Finny and Iggy and with our friends dog Molly, a little shitzu-lapso mix. I think she'd be a wonderful person to care for someone's pets, I can't think of a better person to trust them with.”

Vinny O.Star Sitter
“Vinny is an animal lover through and through. For the 30 years I have known him, all animals are attracted to him. He has had a large mutt, malamute/wolf, and 2 mountain dogs(brother and sisters). All, well trained, by him, on and off leash. Sierra, the sister, became 3 legged at 5 due to cancer. Vinny cared for and nursed her back to life for her 6 remaining years of her well adjusted and happy life. You couldn't get someone more loving and dedicated to his and everyone else's animals. P.S. You should see his backyard, it's a wildlife sanctuary!”
Sadyn A.
“Sadyn was a godsend for my wife and I! We have two cats, 5yo boy and a 2yo girl, that we hated leaving alone when we had travel plans. We didn't have friends that could easily help us out, and we were so lucky to find Sadyn through a mutual connection. Sadyn was reliable and communicative with us for every booking! She did drop ins with our fur babies and would ensure their needs were met (food, water, clean litter boxes) but would also spend quality time with them playing and snuggling. Our two year old cat is such a shy girl, but she warmed up to Sadyn--I think that alone speaks to the amazing care Sadyn provides. If you need someone to care for your pets while you're away, I highly recommend Sadyn for the job!”
Lynda L.
“I have known Lynda a long time. We call her “Ellie Mae Clampett”. She is truly the most involved caregiver for animals I have yet to encounter in my 60+ years. Lynda has taken care of our 2 golden retrievers until these two dogs were 16 and 17 years old. She frequently involved herself with our English Shepard and now with our newer golden. A dedicated animal lover to the core. Lynda has also cared for an Eclectus parrot that was in our home for several years. That bird was very hard for anyone to get close to…Lynda did and handled him easily and with his permission. If there is anyone I would have in my home to responsibly take care of my animals…Lynda is a first choice always. Trustworthy and sincere should be her middle names.”
