Michael was great with our cats! They are not socialized well and so are a little shy and Michael was patient with them and took the time they needed to warm up. Michael was incredibly responsive and kind- highly recommend him!

Absolutely the best care we've ever had for our cats while away, and for a whole two weeks! Our little girl who had kidney issues is still thriving and kept active, all special care instructions were followed to the letter, couldn't ask for a better sitter!

Eleanor went completely above and beyond to take care of my cats! One of my cats is a too smart for his own good, and he ended up getting into a specific cabinet for the first time and eating a whole bag of treats. Eleanor found a way to keep him out of that cabinet, and she also spent extra time with him to make sure he wasn't having any digestive problems. She's also super knowledgeable about cats and was so communicative with me the whole time I was gone!

Jasmin did a great job looking after our cat Clementine while we were away. Clementine warmed up to her very quickly. She was very communicative and easy to work with. I will definitely trust her to watch Clementine again in the future.

About: I have a very sweet and playful Border Collie who absolutely loves making new friends. He is extremely friendly and does great with both small and large dogs—especially medium to large breeds. He regularly plays with his Maltese and Golden Retriever friends and is very well socialized. My place is fortunate to have a dog park right downstairs, so dogs get plenty of outdoor playtime and exercise. I am at home 24/7, which means your dog will receive constant supervision, attention, and care. I would love to welcome a friendly play buddy for my dog and provide a safe, fun, and loving environment for yours. If your dog enjoys companionship and playtime, this will be a great match. I work fully remote, so there is always someone home to supervise and care for the dogs. I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I live in a spacious 1,400 sq ft apartment in a secure building with password-only access. My home is safe, clean, and dog-friendly. My place also has two large dog parks nearby for daily exercise and playtime. Dogs are always supervised, and I carefully follow each owner’s care instructions to ensure a safe and comfortable stay

About: I am a furry friend lover and I have taken care of pups of friends and family and have boarded them at my home several times. My house is safe and pet friendly wherein your precious buddy can stay comfortably. I have built a safe fenced yard where I enjoy playing with Nala, our dog. I live in safe neighborhood and walk her or let her out multiple times a day. I have a 4 year old healthy female Cavapoo who is very friendly and enjoys walking and playing with other dogs. I regularly take my buddy Nala (my pet dog) for walks and would love to take yours too!!! My pet brings a smile on my face every morning. My day starts with taking my pet out for walk. Pets are free to roam in our house and make our home as theirs during their entire stay. Treats are shared (if owners are okay). Weather permitting free play in safe fenced yard in morning and afternoon. In evening playing fetch play, run around or relax outside as per pets mood. Myself and my family members give a short walk to my buddy Nala three times a day and in evenings we take her on long walks in neighbourhood, dog park, sometimes on dog friendly beach. I have a pet-friendly home with fenced yard wherein I provide safe and secure outdoor space to my adorable 4-year old healthy cavapoo who will play and will be a great company to your precious pup!! I live with my husband and 2 girls who love furry friends and they help me in taking care of them. We all enjoy playing with our pup.

Being a first time rover customer, I was a little hesitant, but Stephanie is by far the best sitter! Having a dog that prays before eating, Stephanie went above and beyond to make sure Timmy keeps all his daily practices. She will be my #1 sitter moving forward :) 🐶Stephanie definitely deserves all the success in the world. 🌎💕🙏🏽

About: I've taken care of dogs (either my own or pet-sitting) for the past 15 years. I have had many friends and family members rely on me to keep their pets fed, walked, played with, and loved while they are out! I also have experience with senior dogs, giving medication etc. My work schedule is fairly flexible, so it's super easy for me to fit pet care into my daily/weekly routines! I keep my home clean and safe for pups to venture around. I will send lots of pictures so you know your pet is happy and well taken care of. I have a fairly flexible full time job where I am able to work from home as needed. Additionally, when I need to be in person it is usually only for a few hours maximum. So I have plenty of time to be playing with and caring for your pups! I live in a very walkable neighborhood with lots of great spots for fur babies to use the bathroom and get their exercise in! I spend a lot of time after initial drop off trying to make your pet as comfortable and relaxed as possible! I'll also send you lots of pictures to alleviate some of the stress of leaving your pup with someone else. I spend a lot of time giving the pets I care for the same love and attention they would receive at home.

About: Living in New Brunswick with some friends. I have cats but I'm not allowed dogs in our house. Growing up with dogs it's hard to be away from them. Taking care of someone else's pets would be a pleasure and would brighten my day. I walk to work everyday and live outside Rutgers campuses and near some beautiful parks, giving me tons of places to bring your dogs and the stamina to keep up with them on long walks.My oldest dog back home is a big pitbull, so big dogs are right up my alley, and both my dogs can get quite rowdy so I know how to handle animals when they get out of control. I'm current working a part time job making it easy for me to spend valuable time with your pets! I'm available most mornings and all nights. I enjoy going on quiet walks in places without too much hustle and bustle. If your pet gets overwhelmed in rowdy environments, you can count on me to give the a calm yet playful day.

Viv is AMAZING!!! They were so helpful and made this weekend trip away from our dog babies so less stressful. Viv communicated so effectively when she was on their way and sent so many pictures of our dogs to reassure my nerves. Every drop in visit they sent pictures and a full detailed report about the visit. Viv even gave our dogs Luna and King a little gift at the end of the weekend! We will definitely being using them again.

About: Hello!! My name is Chieh-Yin, but you can call me me Alvita:)) I’ve been a big animal lover since I was little. I adopted my first dog, Melon, from a shelter when I was in first grade, so I grew up with her and my senior cat, Kiki. I learned how to care for both and older cats from a young age, and it’s been such a special journey. Later on, I found my second cat, Brown Sugar, as a tiny three-month-old kitten, and I raised her from that sweet age. As Melon got older, I took her to the vet every week, gave her meds, and made sure she was comfy in her senior years. I also later took in another kitten, and just recently, we welcomed a new puppy, Ayla, when she was just two months old. So now, I’m loving every moment of raising a puppy, too! And a few years ago, I was also a foster for a guide dog, where I took classes to learn how to train and care for them. Every step of the way—whether it’s a puppy, kitten, senior dog, or cat—I just love giving them the care, comfort, and attention they need. I can’t wait to meet your furry baby! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions:)) I’m currently staying at home. My time is pretty flexible. I can do daily visit or walking whenever your baby needs someone to take care of. I live in a house with a big fenced yard at the back. For day care, your baby will have plenty of space to play and run! For daily visits, I like to make sure all the babies have a nice and clean environment to rest first, then I would love to spend some time with them!!! Of course, will always keep you updated about your fur baby!!

Berthie was phenomenal. It was my first time using Rover and I will definitely be using Berthie again. Continuously updated me with pictures and blurbs about how my dog was doing. My dog is adjusting to a new apartment and had been having accidents and Berthie not only updated me on her status, but ensured he would clean up if she had any accidents. I 100% would recommend him to anyone who needs a dog sitter/Walker.

Hope is such an amazing pet sitter and just a lovely person overall!!! I have two gerbils, which is a bit unconventional, but Hope took on the challenge with enthusiasm! She was communicative with me before, during, and after visits, always providing me with updates and asking questions to make sure my boys got the best possible care. It was such a relief to know my babies were well-fed, enriched, and happy while I was away. I will absolutely be using Hope’s services for future trips!!!

About: I’ve loved animals ever since I can remember. From hamsters, dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, geckos, etc. I have had them all! I am always a reliable source for pet care when friends and neighbors are away. I currently work weekends and am attending school in the evenings a few days a week- so I have all day to play and care for your fur babies! I have a fenced in yard and two cats who are accepting of other animals. I can crate or provide a comfy space for your pets so they feel pampered and safe!

Michael was so amazing with my senior orange Ray Cat. What a wonderful job giving him his medicine 2 times and day, brushing, playing and treats. I always get worried because my boy can be a handle full at times, but Michael was such a amazing person for Ray Cat. Highly recommend and I feel so safe having him as Ray's sitter. Again thank you so much!

Harsh was amazing. I had a lot going on at my parents’ house and needed someone last minute. He showed up within 20 minutes of my request without hesitation. He was respectful, polite, and treated my cats like they were his own. I only had to explain things once and he understood everything right away. He made a stressful situation so much easier for me. I’ve already booked him again for a future date and would absolutely recommend him. Your pets will be in safe hands with Harsh.
