“This was my first time leaving my puppy and Jennifer made it so much easier. She asked great questions before her drop-in. Her communication is excellent. Can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I have 30 plus years of experience caring for pets of all kinds including bathing, administering medication, senior dog care or handling puppies. I’ve cared for cats and even bunnies. I am reliable, detail-oriented, and treat every animal as if they were my own.I would love to meet you and your best friend! Send me a message to set up a no-obligation meet-and-greet. I do not currently own any pets. I do miss having them! I would care for them in between my other part- time job. Please coincided me for your pet care needs. I would enjoy caring for your pet in your home or walking near your home. I’m happy to provide food, medicine and other services upon request.
About: I have spent lots of time with elderly dogs and cats, and I love ensuring they have the consistent care they need while their humans are away. I have also worked with young pets who are house or litter box training. I also love fish, rodents, and reptiles! If you have a zoo at home, I may be the sitter for you. -Gwen (they/them) I currently nanny a small human part time, so I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule. Week days I am available before 10:30am and after 3:00pm. Weekends I am free all day. Overnights are always available. I deeply value the trust it takes to have someone in your home taking care of your beloved furry friends. I strive to provide care that keeps pets happy, safe, and satisfied while maintaining a calm and clean environment in the home I am visiting.
“Amazing Kate to the rescue, again. Kate is an awesome person who always goes the extra mile with your fur babies. She takes initiative to do some extra things that say so much about her as a Sitter and a person! Rock on Kate!❤️ ❤️❤️”
“Happy we found Sarah to be our go-to person for when we need someone to drop in / walk Milah! She's great with our pup, and provides detailed updates. She showed up on time, followed all of our instructions to a T, and our pup loved the visit. Would book again!”
“Stephanie was amazing with our animals. She was communicative throughout our time away. She really took the time to understand our animals needs which made being away stress free. Highly recommend!!!!”
“We felt so at ease having Marion take care of our cat, Norman, when we were out of town! She is an animal lover and took great care of Norman while we were gone. We 100% recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter!”
“Steph took care of my rabbit for a long trip away and during the holidays and she went above and beyond. Consistently checked in with plenty of photos and took the extra time and care to keep his space clean and spend some time with him. She even made a special second trip on his birthday that I was unfortunately missing!! I would absolutely recommend her.”
“Bristle has become so comfortable with Jason that she will seek out attention and beg to be brushed and played with. These are things she was never comfortable enough to ask for from her other sitters”
“Hunter was very communicative during the visits with our puppy as well as while scheduling a meet and greet. She was also very punctual during the visits and provided a great summary of how it went.”
About: I have owned both dogs and cats since I was a child and absolutely love animals. Very comfortable with any and all personalities and am a very active person, so any and all walk schedules are no problem. I am only in office for half days on Monday and Tuesday, the remainder of the week I work from home so I am available for your pets nearly 24/7 I live in the village district where we have many parks and pet areas within a couple minute walk! Given that I work from home I am able to take them out on whatever schedule needed.
About: I have been dog sitting for others for 4 years now and have had cats and dogs most of my life! I am an avid pet lover and love helping out pet parents care for their fur babies. I have trained basic skills, potty trained and crate trained dogs. I am no longer offering boarding or house sitting as I have a new needy roommate, (pictured on my profile) Daisy 🌼 I am a recent graduate student and work part time in the mental health field. My schedule is fairly flexible and I am able to be home often if needed for a pet. I am a good fit for dogs/cats that are able to manage 6 hours alone for days I have to work! I offer a quiet and patient presence for your pets! I will accommodate your pets needs whether that’s lots of snuggles or just a person to check in. Every pet has their own personality and I completely understand any accommodations or activities your pet needs.
About: My earliest memory was of adopting my first dog, a Weimaraner we named Halle. Since then, caring for dogs has been a staple part of my life. Few things are as exciting to me as meeting a new dog and learning all about their habits. I've sitted small and medium sized dogs of neighbors and family members for the last 10 years or so. I can handle dogs of any age, but I have lots of experience with senior dogs. Additionally, I've been trained by a veterinarian to supply IV fluids as well as administer other kinds of medication effectively such as pills or liquids. If your pet needs this extra care, I can provide it. I work remotely, so I can spend my work days keeping your dog company while you are away. I am unavailable Monday evenings, but otherwise I am available for drop ins any day of the week. Making your dog feel comfortable and safe is my top priority task. The second most important task is being respectful of my client's property while caring for pets in their home. I know the anxious feeling of leaving your pet with someone else, so I will strive to earn your trust so you can focus on enjoying your time out of town. Additionally, I always perform leash/collar checks to ensure they are securely fastened.
About: Hello, I’m Sarah! Pets are my favorite kind of people. I have 30+ years of personal and volunteer experience with cats, dogs, and several small animals. Belly rubs, zoomies or cuddles I’m happy to give your pets the care they deserve when you can’t be there. Your pet won’t only be cared for but truly enjoyed! With my work schedule, I'm able to offer drop-ins or walks for up to 30 minutes *Wednesday-Friday: 11am-4pm w/ some flexibility *Weekends- open availability! I’m happy to visit your home for play, meds, feeding or walks. Happy to check water is fresh or even give a good brushing

Dover cat parents share their Rover experiences
Wendy was wonderful in taking care of our cat while we were gone for Christmas. She sent multiple pictures each day, stayed with Maggie longer than the minimum time to comfort and support her, and properly fed and watered her. I would hire Wendy again in a heartbeat and plan to do so when we go back to NY in May. This woman is one of the really professional and competent sitters out there. Thank you, Wendy.
Laura, was by far the best cat sitter I have ever had! She sent 20+ pictures every day with a video and an amazing write up at the end of each visit! She was so attentive to my 2 cats it was unbelievable! I have and will recommend her to anyone! You and your pets are lucky to have Laura watch out for them!
