“Luie did a wonderful job pet sitting for my two cats. The photos and videos were great! I especially liked knowing my young cat Milo was getting playtime and having fun while I was away.”


“Absolutely wonderful! Was able to help us last minute and was very communicative and sent a ton of pictures which we love and appreciate!! Definitely will be using Giovanni again!”


“Karli did an awesome job with my boys(dogs)! She cared for them as if they were her own fur babies and my boys took right to her. I will be scheduling with her again! Thank you Karli.”


“Olga is great! Ruth (my cat) warmed up to her very quickly. Olga is very communicative, provided consistent and timely updates, and was upfront about any scheduling or timing conflicts that we were able to work around without any issues. She was also able to administer daily medication for Ruth while we were away which is a huge plus! Highly recommend Olga for drop-ins and we will absolutely be repeat customers!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and currently have two under my care. I have experience watching puppies, cats, every size of dog, and even birds! I’m currently looking for dog care to be my part time job, so I’ve set aside a lot of time to provide as much attention possible to pet care. I have a crate trained dog my grandmothers dogs, and both of them have a great temperament. Im very respectful of peoples spaces and have no problem caring for dogs in environments they are comfortable in.

“As always, Nicole did a fabulous job. This time we were international and because Nicole was so trustworthy, professional, and outstanding in shorter visits in the past, we felt totally comfortable asking her to care for our senior cats for two weeks—they’re a handful as two need prescription diets and one was on medication. Nicole took excellent care of them. I’d trust her any time.”


“Zackie was great! Thank you so much for taking care of Harper! I was able to go out of town and not worry. She showed up on time every visit which was important for Harper’s meds. I will definitely request her again!!”


“Allison did a wonderful job caring for our 3 cats while we were away on our honeymoon. We had her come by 3 times, and each visit was thorough. She followed all of our instructions, cleaned the litter boxes, refilled food and water, vacuumed the room we keep the litter boxes in, and even took the trash out. It was great to come home to that area being nice and clean. Her updates and photos after each visit gave us peace of mind. She was polite, reliable, and made it easy for us to enjoy our trip without worrying. We’d definitely ask Allison to pet sit again in the future!”


About: I was introduced to animals at a very early age, and have been caring for dogs and cats alike for most of my life; I now have cats and regularly care for farm animals as well. I am an animal lover through and through, and welcome any kind of cat. I know all about these animals, and looking forward to meeting yours! Mornings and afternoons are the best times for me to visit any cat. Between school and work, I am glad to feed and play with cats of all kinds. Cats can be fickle creatures. I always make sure to introduce myself upon entering their space, and then I find a place to sit so that they have space to meet the new visitor. Cats are very communicative, so after the initial greeting I let them take the lead and adjust my behavior to follow suit!

About: I have taken care of animals since I was 10, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, fish, and birds. I have experience with newborn kittens and senior cats, including those with FIV and FIP, and have fostered numerous cats. I specialize in cats and rabbits, but also welcome dogs. I have a pomeranian mix and 3 cats who are my world. My care and experience will allow me to ensure your pet’s safety and happiness giving you an ease of mind while you are away. I currently work full time but work from home most days, therefore I am quite flexible. I do not work on the weekends either, so am available on Saturdays and Sundays. Please send me a guide of specific activities, feeding times, medication, and any other vital information your pet specifically needs so that I can follow this.

My home has a fully fenced patio with turf grass for supervised outdoor time, plus a large grassy field right behind it for extra play and potty breaks.

I’m home throughout the day, so your pet will never be alone for long and will get plenty of attention, love, and routine. I treat every animal like family to ensure they feel secure, happy, and right at home.

“Samantha was everything we could’ve hoped for and more. She was not only early for every visit, but she communicated with me when she would show up, when she would leave, sent pictures on every visit, and followed the requested schedule to a tee. This was our first time using this app and Samantha has certainly set the bar. There’s no question I would highly recommend Samantha for your pet sitting needs.”

“Emily does a wonderful job with my dogs. They always come home well exercised and happy and we couldn’t be happier that she is the dog walker”
Dover dog parents share their Rover experiences
This was my first time using Rover. At first I was a little bit nervous leaving our boys but Stacey made sure to ease our nerves. Not only did we LOVE Stacey but more importantly our dogs LOVED her!! She was friendly, caring, and very communicative. She took lots of videos and pictures of our dogs so that way we could still see them. It really truly showed how much she loves and cares for animals. Thank you for being trustworthy and dependable.

Elizabeth was very responsive throughout the process of scheduling, a pre-visit, and while we were away. She took videos, sent pictures, and a report for each visit. We had peace of mind leaving our pups with someone besides family. We will definitely request Elizabeth again.
