“Julissa was wonderful! We have a lot of pets and she handled everyone with ease. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again! Thank you so much!”
“Haley is AMAZING. She just stayed at our place and watched our 6 month old pup for a week while we were gone on vacation. Our puppy is super active and Haley was phenomenal with her. She communicated so well with us, gave us updates and kept Maisie on her routine. When we got home, Maisie was so happy and we could tell she was loved while we were gone. We will definitely use Haley again and recommend you hire her too!”
“Georgia was great during her 32-day house and pet-sitting stay. I can't recommend her enough. We felt completely at ease leaving our home and dogs in her care. She's trustworthy, communicates well, and clearly knows what she's doing with pets. Our dogs are usually off their game after we've been away for a few days, but they seemed totally normal when we got back. The house was well taken care of and exactly as we left it. We'll definitely book Georgia again and suggest you do the same if you get the chance.”
About: I have taken care of both cats and dogs in paid and volunteer settings, where I've done just about everything included in taking care of pets. I have regularly housesat for family friends where I stay overnight, walk the dog(s), and feed and occasionally administer medications to the pets (both with dogs and cats). My experience volunteering at my local animal shelter has taught me to be patient with the more shy or standoffish pets in order to help them feel safe, and thus given me more confidence with a variety of pet personalities. Have indoor/outdoor plants? I can take care of those, too (including veggies)! I am working on passing the Massachusetts Bar Exam and am looking for a way to boost my income while I work as a paralegal and study for the exam; I am available to sit for week-long periods or longer, but will be working full-time. Depending on how close my work is to your home, I can make midday drop-ins for dogs that need it. I am used to walking dogs twice a day (once in the morning and once in the evening, but I can possibly make a midday walk work) and letting them outside whenever they need (when I am at home during the day), as well as just hanging out with pets in my down time. I am more than willing to bring dogs to a park as I have a mid-sized car with a roomy backseat (and a front seat for the more car-comfortable dog). As for cats, I am more than comfortable housing one cat in my home if you are not comfortable with me staying or visiting yours, but only for shorter periods.
“Shea is a very nice respectful and polite girl. Her communication is always timely. She was punctual with her arrival time, allowing us to leave a few minutes earlier than planned for our trip. She wasn’t afraid to send a text later in the evening when our dog was having trouble settling down. She sent a couple updates and photos during her stay with our dog and everything went well. We will definitely keep her in the rotation for when we need care for our dog!”
“Mary was a literal godsend. We booked her kind of last minute for a 4 day weekend and she was an absolute rockstar!! She was great with our animals, very respectful and clear with her communication. She did exactly what we agreed too and even went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure our pets were well cared for and safe. We even had an incident were one of the dogs was refusing to go back inside when the visit time was over and instead of getting frustrated and upset, she remained professional and was extremely smart in managing the situation and getting it under control. We would absolutely use her again and HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who is looking for a true pro in animal care.”
“Sarah is a phenomenal dog sitter. My anxious dogs bonded with her immediately so I felt very comfortable leaving for my trip. She texted multiple updates a day, including pictures. I will definitely book with her again!”
“Thank you for communicating with me throughout your stay. I’m really glad to have feedback on how my dog is doing and what additional support I need to give him. I really look forward to you sitting with him again.”
About: As someone who has grown up always having dogs and cats, I know how important it is to have someone who is comfortable and loves being around animals to take care of them. I have been dog sitting family friends’s dogs and pets since I was 19. I work Monday-Friday on a 9-3:30 schedule. I am available before work and after 3:30 during the week. During the summer I will have more availability. I think it’s important to build trust with animals by providing them the space they need, especially when you’re someone new to them. I care for my own pets by spending quality time with them by taking them on walks (dogs, or even cats if that’s what you are looking for too!) and with my own pets, giving them lots of love and affection and an occasional treat (or 2.)
“Saige was super polite, pleasant, and caring for all of my dogs needs. She brought my boy to the dog park, for walks, and kept him entertained. She was a perfect houseguest, and I will absolutely be booking with her again.”
“Carol was super responsible with dog and home. Our senior dog with mobility issues bonded with her immediately and though she was happy to see us when we got home she did sit by the door looking longingly like she wanted Carol to come back. Highly recommend.”
“Erin was the perfect dog (and house) sitter. We came home to a relaxed and happy senior dog and the house just as we had left it. Erin went above and beyond by bringing in mail and trash can, watering plants and even reached out to see when Riley could go on the lawn after it was fertilized. Erin is professional and responsive. We will definitely be booking with Erin again!”
“Audrey is wonderful! She kept my little senior cat so happy and content during my trip. Jasmine is very social and Audrey sent me wonderful photos of her each day, as well as a report that she was doing well. Jasmine needs medication and Audrey took care of that as well!”
“Kayla stayed at our house for a week with our 2 dogs and she did an excellent job. We highly recommend her for any of your needs with babysitting your animals when you’re thinking of getting away. We will definitely be using Kayla in the future.”
East Forest Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. Shekeyla was warm, professional, thoughtful, detail-oriented and brought such calm, positive energy from the moment we met her. Our 17-year-old dog has kidney disease and requires medication, so leaving her isn’t something we take lightly – but we felt completely comfortable and confident in her care. Shekeyla kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which meant a lot. One of our favorites was a picture of the two of them snuggled up together – something our dog doesn’t even do with us anymore! At this stage in her life, we’re mostly just food providers and chauffeurs to the Jersey Mike’s parking lot for her favorite pastime: scouting for snacks. It was clear our dog was not only well cared for, but genuinely happy and relaxed when we returned. We highly recommend Shekeyla and will absolutely be using her again!
Josie took care of our five pets for eight days while we were away on a family vacation, and I can honestly say it made a huge difference in how much we were able to relax. Leaving that many pets with someone is never easy, but from the start, she made us feel completely comfortable and confident they were in good hands. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about each of our pets as individuals. We came home to happy, well-cared-for animals and everything in great shape. It was clear she stayed on top of routines, needs, and all the little details that matter. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy who will treat your pets like her own, Josie is it. We wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch our pets again.
This was my first time using a dog sitter through Rover and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Marie exceeded every expectation I had. From the moment we met, I knew Pete would be in great hands—and I was right. She sent me frequent updates and so many adorable photos, which made it so much easier to be away from my dog. It was clear they bonded quickly—honestly, I think my dog was a little disappointed when I came back! Not only was my dog happy, safe, and loved, but Marie also left my home in better shape than I left it. That level of care and attention is rare. She’s truly a gem, and we were so lucky to have found her. I’d recommend Marie to everyone without hesitation!
