“Cloe saved my trip when my original sitter plans backed out days before. She’s super quick to respond and I felt really confident in her care for Odin in my home while I was away. My mind was at ease.”
“Kate is great, and her calm demeanor was very important to my high energy puppy— who takes time to warm up to folks. He warmed to her very quickly. I’d definitely use Kate again.”
“We had a lovely experience working with Vasil. He stayed in our home for the weekend to look after our 2 yorkies and gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were that they were being well taken care of. Would definitely recommend Vasil and hope to work with him again in the future :)”
“Had a great experience with Brendan for our first time with Rover. He was easy to coordinate with, patient and kind with our dog, and was very communicative while watching her!”
“Jordan took great care of our 13-year old dog Max and our house while she stayed here over the weekend. We greatly appreciated the updates and photos that she provided throughout her stay. Jordan was sweet and caring with our pup and I am sure that he got lots of cuddles and love.”
“Joel is a great pet and house sitter! He has taken care of our 98# Bernedoodle Ollie and 4 cats multiple times. He sent pictures almost every day, and even took one of our cats in for his blood draw and gave him medicine.”
“Cassandra provided wonderful care to my sweet boys ;) Plenty of pictures and updates were sent and all activities well documented. Will definitely book with Cassandra in the future!”
“Lauren is amazing! She stayed at our house with our dog and two cats for eight days. She truly loves and cares for animals, she was communicative, detailed and left our house in perfect condition.”
About: I think what sets me apart from other sitters is my determination, admiration, and respect for all. I take all comments and concerns as a growing opportunity for my own experience and also to better the experience of your pets. I work graveyard 5 days a week, and I find myself wanting to detach and find comfort in another opportunity as well as keeping my original job. I am good with communication and will always find a way to work around my schedule, compromise, while also taking consideration of the owners schedule. I will first make sure your pet is comfortable with me in their presence and asking the owners about their personality and what the pets routine is throughout the day/night. I am a list person and will always make sure to check all the boxes as needed. While also developing a kind friendship with your pet.
“Giovanny was awesome! He was kind, respectful and communicative. He was great with our pup. He followed our instructions and our pup loved him. We were even running late to get back home on time and Gio stayed until we returned. Highly recommend!”
“Christopher looked after our kids for 9 days and my old Great Dane just fell in love !! The young ones kept him quite busy and he diligently took care of each with a warm heart and lots of love hugs and kisses to all the fur babies . Absolutely fantastic to know you can rely on such a competent and friendly dog sitter like him. Got home today and my kids was over the moon .. Definitely a 5👌🏼in our books ..”
“Jackson was amazing with our two dogs! They loved him. He was prepared, attentive, and easy to work with. I highly recommend him. He took great care of both of them while we were gone.”
“Seth is absolutely amazing! I always trust my pup, Bradley is going to be well cared for when I book with Seth. On top of that he is so communicative and leaves your place very tidy and clean! I highly recommend him for any of your pet sitting/walking/drop in needs if you are in Long Beach/Belmont Shore. Thank you Seth!!!”
“Thank you so much for all the help! If anyone is looking for someone who loves animals don’t hesitate you are picking the right person. We have a Cane Corso and she was super happy to see him everyday and would get sad when he would leave for the day. I could see through the camera how he would be constantly playing with her, cuddling and keeping us updated ! I will continue to book and feel confident that my baby is safe. He even trained with her asking her to sit before treats. Overall super happy with the services provided and my baby was happy.”
“We LOVE Shelli!! It’s such a gift to be able to go out of town and know that Mystic is being well taken care of, and our home is in good hands! :) Shelli is trustworthy, reliable, responsible and punctual. She respects our home, and loves our dog all at the same time.. We feel truly blessed to have found Shelli and we know that Mystic feels the same way!🐶”
“Lucia is a “Total Gem”. She was amazing with the dogs and kept the house super clean and well taken care of. We will be hiring her for many years to come (hopefully she keeps sitting). It is really hard to find someone who is honest and trustworthy with our homes and pet family but Lucia is the best of the best ❤️❤️”
“It was very evident the amount of care and commitment Cathy watched my two pets, a dog and a cat with! The entire time I was gone, I was very confident they were well loved”
Downtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Holly was great!! My cat requires twice daily medication and right before my trip decided that he wasn’t going to eat it in a treat anymore…If you’re ever had to medicate a cat that doesn’t want medication, you know it’s no easy task! Holly was amazing with troubleshooting and trying to make it a positive experience for him. She left our house even better than we left it. I would highly recommend!
This was our first sit with Jordan and it was great! We booked last minute but Jordan was great about doing a meet and greet with us on short notice. Petunia took easily to Jordan and my wife and I felt good knowing she was in good hands. Jordanwas great about keeping us updated throughout the day and sending pictures of Petunia. We will definitely be keeping Jordan in mind for our future pet sitting needs.
Sergio was great and quick to respond! Really good energy and my dog liked him immediately. He was able to accommodate a meet and greet beforehand to make sure our dogs were cool. Benny is the sweetest and my dog was ready to go home with them right then and there. Would recommend 100%
My dog took a liking to Ali right away! I did also and feel she genuinely cares and is knowledgeable about animals. She sent cute updates and was clear in her schedule and communication. She was respectful of my space and I felt at ease knowing my pet was in good hands.
Seth is absolutely amazing! I always trust my pup, Bradley is going to be well cared for when I book with Seth. On top of that he is so communicative and leaves your place very tidy and clean! I highly recommend him for any of your pet sitting/walking/drop in needs if you are in Long Beach/Belmont Shore. Thank you Seth!!!
I am reluctant to leave a review for Lauren as we will 100% use her services again in the future, but know a good review will make this harder in our future. But Lauren was/is awesome. We have a 200lb Great Dane and frequently travel where we need to house him for a couple days. In the past he has stopped eating which causes him to get anxious and 'hangry' and he's a mess when we get home. So we tried Rover and selected Lauren cause she has VetTech experience. She was wonderful with our pet AND even took him for daily walks which he loves but 200lbs is a lot when a squirrel crosses his path. Lauren is awesome and stayed over in our home for couple of days. Shows up on time and communicates expectations and daily status. Confidence with Lauren.
