“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.”
“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.”
“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 ..”
“Bridget did an excellent job with my dog and staying at my house. He was well fed, walked regularly and she often sent me updates. I would highly recommend booking her!”
“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!!!”
“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!🐶”
“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!”
“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!”
About: I've grown up with dogs. My parents had a dog before they had children. I'm used to both large and small dogs. I know how important dogs are. I'm currently attending school part time, but my availability is only restricted Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Any other time slot I am available to care for your pet. While I am unable to offer pet care in my own home, I promise you that I will take care of your pet like it is my own pet. Whatever you would like for me to do for your pet, consider it done.
“Theresa took great care of my dog while I was away. She was always friendly, responsive, and caring. She sent photos and updates of both my dog and cat. She seemed to treat both my animals and my home with respect. I look forward to hiring her again soon :)”
“Delanea was wonderful! We hired her last minute over a holiday. She helped us out tremendously. Our pets were well cared for. She followed our instructions, provided regular updates, and left our home clean.”
About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life. Family and friends always trust me with their pets. I will look after them as if they were my own! I currently work full time Monday-Friday. My weekends are completely free to hang out and take your fur babies out for a fun, safe time! I have three indoor cats that do not go outside. So I am aware of keeping doors closed so our fur babies do not go out. I will make sure to take care of your pets just like I would take care of mine.
About: I've done it all — puppy chaos, senior snuggles, and everything in between. With 20+ years of hands-on experience and dogs I've raised myself, I know what your pet needs. I work a flexible full-time schedule from my home where I can care for your pet and take breaks to walk and play with them. If your pet is more comfortable in their own home, I am available to sit them there as my daytime job is remote. I am tidy and leave every space the same (if not better) than when I entered. Your pet's comfort and safety are my top priority. Having grown up in a home where dogs of all sizes were cherished family members, I understand how to read a pet's needs and create a calm, secure environment. I've personally raised and trained my own dogs from puppyhood through their senior years, so I'm experienced in adapting care routines to each stage of life. In my home, pets are never an afterthought — they're treated with the same patience, attention, and love I'd want for my own family members (human or otherwise). 🧡
“Britney was so great- one of our best house/doggy sitters to date. We met ahead of time to be sure we were both comfortable and that she liked our pup. Britney followed our instructions perfectly, sent a ton of great photos and videos to this nervous right mom. She really put me at ease for being away for a whole week. Britney is detailed oriented, honest and trustworthy. We come home to a very happy pup and even a clean house. She was a pleasure to get to know and work with. I would absolutely recommend Britney for house and dog sits and will 100% book her again.”
“Lindsey was wonderful! She was so patient, caring, and loving with our girl. As pet owners, it can be nerve-racking to trust someone new with both your home and your pet, but Lindsey went above and beyond to put us at ease. Her communication, kindness, and genuine care made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. We would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“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 :)”
East Side 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!
Amanda kept me updated on Kelly’s daily routine, including her walks, feeding schedule, and relaxation time. She also sent photos of Kelly throughout her stay, which gave me peace of mind and reassured me that Kelly was happy and well cared for. I would definitely book with Amanda again and highly recommend her.
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%
Shauna was absolutely fantastic! After an impressive meet & great with our pup & cat, where she made sure to understand their routine/rules, she stayed at our home and gave them lots of love and attention while giving us regular updates/pics. I’ve never felt more comfortable about leaving our babies. I’ll definitely request Shauna again!!
Charlie and I are so lucky and glad we found Bridget. She is knowledgeable and pleasant with Charlie. She kept me updated with videos and pictures. I could finally relax on a vacation without worrying ! The house was kept perfect. I absolutely plan on using Bridget again !
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.
