“Jay is the best. My Thunder who is a 75lb American Pitbull loves him and for anyone with this breed that once they trust you there is no such thing as personal space. This breed gets a bad reputation but they are cuddle buddies. Book him now and often you will not regret it!”
“Kethely was so sweet to my quirky munchkins and kept me updated throughout. I haven’t felt so secure about leaving my pets in a long time! I will absolutely book her again :)”
“Rachel was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond in caring for our Duke, exceeding all of our expectations. She was prompt, extremely communicative, and provided frequent updates complete with pictures and videos. When Duke became picky with his food, Rachel quickly came up with helpful solutions. It’s clear that Duke loved her, and we will definitely be using her again!”
“Cannot say enough! Marli was wonderful. After meeting the first time, we knew Bowie would be in great hands. Regular updates throughout the week and came home to a very happy dog! Would 100% recommend Marli to anyone and everyone. Thank you so much”
About: I have cared for other people's dogs--roommates, friends, neighbors--since childhood, many decades! I've lived with cats, dogs and birds. I said goodbye to my rescue Westie of almost 17 years during 2025, and I’m not ready for another long-term pet commitment yet. I puppy trained her (with trainer) from 4 months and provided senior care for the last few years. I am very patient when meeting new animal souls, allowing them to come to me when they’re ready. I have been taking shelter dogs on Afternoon Adventures and have been successful with helping to train dogs in my care. I am working part time and have a flexible schedule, and now that I'm pet-less, I am available, even on short notice. I have been going on walks/hikes in our beautiful parks (over 2 miles) and would prefer some four-legged company. I am very good at following your instructions, respectful of routines and choices you make, and sensitive to furry companions' needs. I'll send you lots of pics! I will board low-maintenance/energy pets in my home, not puppies or kittens.
About: What sets me apart is the level of personalized care I give to every pet—whether it’s teaching a curious puppy the basics, keeping a senior pet comfortable and happy, or making sure shy animals feel safe and loved. With me, your pet gets more than just supervision—they get patience, attention, and a whole lot of tail wags. Even with a full-time job, pet care is a priority in my daily routine. I plan my mornings and evenings around feeding, walks, and playtime, and I dedicate my weekends to extra bonding activities, training, and outdoor adventures. I keep a reliable schedule so pets always know what to expect, and I make sure they get consistent love and attention no matter how busy the day gets. I provide safe, loving, and consistent care—whether in my home or yours. I follow your pet’s routine, ensure fresh water, timely meals, exercise, and plenty of affection so they feel happy and secure.
About: I was a soldier in my country, I took my dog training course and worked with many breeds. I really like sharing my time with pets and I will take care of them as if they were my own. I work part-time and I want to share my free time with pets and take care of them as if they were my own and pamper them so that they feel good with me until they return home. I have an empty backyard which I could use for the care and much more of your pets with the greatest security and more confidence
“Fernando was great with cooper, he really helped give us peace of mind during our wedding day that our boy was in good hands and getting all the love and attention he was missing.”
“Nicole was the first pet sitter I ever used, and I couldn't have asked for a better person. She was professional, highly communicative, and adept at caring for my senior rabbit and cats. My senior rabbit required medication throughout, which she managed well. It was reassuring to have Nicole there for my pets, and her evident love for animals and experience shone through. Amazing Housesitting! I would highly recommend her with a 10/10 rating.”
About: My name Katrina. I have 4 years working with dogs as a profession and about 11 years of experience caring for my own personal animals(4 cats and 2 dogs). I do rover part time to help pay for school. My rover schedule works around my work schedule leaving my Wednesday Thursday and Fridays free. Staturday through Tuesday I am free after 6pm. I like to follow the directions of the owner based on my stay. Due to small children in my home sitting would be at the client's home. I am also able to administer medication and give your dog a bath if needed or requested.
About: I have owned, worked/handled, studied many breeds as large and powerful as mastiffs and as small as Dachshunds my entire 40 years of life. Handling involved in caring includes feeding, walking, mental and physical enrichment, bathing I am not working for the summer and only work side jobs other times. I am available almost all the time. Very active with a lot of patience and education. My time is dedicated to caring for dogs I live in an apartment and can care for dogs here or at your home. My first priority is safety. Education is vital and I am passionate about on what breed and care dog requires. I am very active, attentive and aware
“Jade is very attentive to all instructions and especially to our dog. She bonded with her quickly and devoted a lot of time and energy to keeping her happy and active. Jade took care of our home and used resources sparingly.”
About: With over 10 years of pet care experience, I have nurtured a deep understanding of the unique needs and behaviors of various animals. From dogs and cats to birds, etc. I've provided compassionate care, ensuring their well-being and happiness. My experience encompasses everything from basic feeding and walking routines and playing. I prioritize building strong bonds with pets and their owners, fostering trust and confidence in my abilities to provide exceptional care. My schedule for pet sitting is quite flexible and can be tailored to meet your needs. Generally, I am available after 3:00pm from Monday-Friday and available all day on Saturdays and Sundays. However, I recommend contacting me with specific dates and times you require pet sitting services, so we can discuss availability and ensure I can accommodate your schedule accordingly. Additionally, I am open to overnight stays and extended periods of care if necessary. Whether caring for pets in my own home or at a client's home, my approach remains centered on providing the highest level of comfort, safety, and companionship for the animals entrusted to my care. I have three dogs (two small poodles and one medium sized golden doodle) as well as (two cats).
Dayton-Weequahic Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Rachel was amazing ! This was our very first time using rover and I can’t lie, we were very nervous since our baby has a sensitive back , but everything was amazing ! She was so communicative and sent us lots of photos and video updates ! I loved it and will definitely keep using her services , our baby johne loved her so much and warmed up to her very quickly. She left everything very tidy in our home and just overall very trustworthy! We are so grateful to her
We were delighted to be Joni’s first customers! We had a very last-minute, heavy-lift request for Joni and she did a fantastic job. We have a young puppy that can’t leave our apartment or be left alone for more than a few hours, and we needed someone to watch her for a full week. She was also on a special diet and meds for some tummy issues. Joni stayed in our apartment and not only took care of our puppy but also took care of the apartment and left it in better condition than we left it! Joni is a sweetheart and I believe she’d put her all into any dog entrusted to her care.
Melanie was fantastic with Pancho and Taylor. Pancho is recovering from surgery, and Melanie’s veterinary background was a tremendous asset. I felt completely at ease leaving home, knowing both dogs, especially Pancho, were in the care of Melanie. Highly recommended!
Khoula (Jeremy’s wife) is great!!! Milo adores her and he’s always so happy after he’s spent time with her. she sends lovely little updates of our pup! She’s flexible and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend her and am always going to come back :) 13/10!!!
I booked Rachel last minute, and she was quick to respond. She’s incredibly responsible, respectful of our home, and, most importantly, she was so sweet with my puppy, Oliver. She sent updates and pictures throughout the day, and he looked so happy. I’ll absolutely be booking her again whenever I need a sitter for Oliver! Highly recommend!
Samiyah did a great job watching my dogs, Debo and Sadie, while I was out of town from Thursday to Wednesday. She was reliable, respectful of my home, and kept me updated with messages and photos throughout the stay, which I really appreciated. She followed all instructions as requested and made sure both dogs were well cared for during my time away. I came home to everything in order and two well-looked-after dogs. Her professionalism and communication made the entire process smooth. I would definitely book Samiyah again and recommend her to anyone in need of a dependable and trustworthy sitter.
Deb was great with Pebbles (formerly Mogwai). Pebbles is our new 10 month old puppy. We adopted her about 1 1/2 weeks before we had to go away for the weekend so we were very concerned about Pebbles adjusting. Everything went fine. Deb understood what Pebbles needed and kept us informed during the weekend. It made for a smooth weekend. I would highly recommend Deb to anyone!
Natasha was not only great with our dog Bruce but also a respectful house guest. She sent images of Bruce that kept us smiling while we were on our vacation, and we knew he was having a good time with her. I think she gave Bruce more walks and quality time than we’re usually able to give - so we hope to have her stay next time we’re out of town, too.
Abi is fantastic! She cared for our pets and home as if they were her own. She took our dog on a walk on the snowy forest trails everyday and sent us a pet update with photos each evening. She even offered to buy crickets for our lizard and left a really nice gift for our pup. The bed was stripped, blankets folded, and the house was tidy. You can't ask for a more perfect sitter.
