“To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Dylan Picone for any pet sitting opportunity you may have. I’ve seen firsthand how deeply he cares for animals and how responsible and trustworthy he is. Dylan has cared for pets on several occasions, and I’ve always been impressed by his attentiveness, patience, and genuine love for animals. Whether it's feeding, walking, playing, or administering medication, they handle every task with care and professionalism. Beyond his strong sense of responsibility, Dylan is also a great communicator. He provides regular updates, asks the right questions, and always goes above and beyond to make sure everything is just right. If you’re looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and truly dedicated to animal well-being, Dylan is the ideal candidate for the job. I highly recommend them and would be happy to speak further if you need more details. Sincerely, Beth Oswald”

4. Kendra V.
About: I have loved and taken care of all kinds of animals since I was a kid, whether it be a common house pet to a reptile. I never grew up without a dog in the home and have personal experience caring for and training family dogs. Animals are more family than just a pet to me and I am pursuing a veterinary career because I have always believed so. My current full time job only requires I work Friday to Sunday so I have day and night available dedicated to your pets needs Monday through Thursday! I have a decently sized yard that is unfenced but has a lead to allow your dog to roam safely and supervised away from the road. I have a kitten that does well with both cats and dogs as he has been socialized with both. I have a large dog that is great with cats and friendly with most dogs though he will be kept separate to assure every pets safety unless requested otherwise!

About: I gave been around dogs and cats for 16 years! My neighbors, family members, and friends always relied on me to take wonderful care of their pets! I have a part time job, but if you let me know ahead of time I will not schedule myself to work and be available to take care of your pets. I always let my dog out and walk him, make sure he always have water and food. I love to walk dogs and make sure to watch for other pets to see if they are friendly or not.

11. Lisa S.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 10 years old. It started of as me watching cats for my neighbor, then ballooned into sitting for friends’ and family’s dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, fish, chickens, and turkeys! I currently have 4 rescue mutts of my own, so I’m great with handling multiple dogs at once. I also have two human kids, ages 14 and 10, and a wonderful husband who helps me run the chaos at our house :) I have experience with young pups who are still training to seniors who just need some quiet time and snuggles. I also have experience with medication administration (injectable, oral, or topical). I am skilled in the care of reactive dogs and dogs with bite histories. It takes a lot to scare me off!! Big or small, I’ll watch them all! I’m currently a registered nurse working in NY on a travel assignment on weekends, but I’ve just taken a work from home job so starting in mid-December I will have good amount of availability. I also have openings on most holidays/weekends. Please see my schedule or send a message to inquire if I am available for whatever service you may be looking for! I don’t have all availability posted, so just reach out if you think I’d be a good fit! Your pets’ safety is always my number one priority. Because two of my dogs are dog/stranger reactive, all care must be done in your home/neighborhood. I feel this is also beneficial to pets because they will be in their own familiar environment. I will always ask for a meet and greet prior to taking on a job because I want to make sure that I’m a great fit for you and your pets. I like to gather information about your pet, get a feel for their schedule, and also set expectations so everyone is on the same page. I will try to maintain your pets’ schedules as closely as possible to help keep the stress at bay. I will also be respectful of your property and your neighborhood. I will leave everything just as I have found it. If hired for drop ins, I can also get mail, water plants, feed fish, take out trash, etc. if needed. Just ask! I know how hard it is to find someone that is trustworthy enough to take care of your beloved pets, but you don’t have to look any further. I’m your lady!


12. Alexa H.
About: I've grown up with multiple dogs at a time, never had a period of time where I was not around dogs. I've raised them from birth to passing away. I love playing with them, caring for them, being there for them and providing love to them. I love going for walks in the parks, around development, etc. Whatever the pup/dog likes to do is fine with me, I have a lot of history with them so I'd be more than happy to provide for any dog! I do have a lot of references just not on rover, they can be provided upon speaking/meeting! I am very accommodating and can stick to your pets schedule as close as possible to yours! I can work my schedule around whatever is needed for care. For example, pets needing strict medicine schedule. I work part time and can easily work my schedule around care whether it’s drop in visits or overnights. I also have my best friend who helps out as well. *** I do a LOT of care for families off the app which is why I do not have many reviews or ratings on here. I gladly provide references during discussion! Unfortunately cannot have pets at my current home, but I care for pets the same way their owners do at their own home. I love to play, pet , snuggle, walk, and give them whatever they need while there and keep them safe.

I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to trust him with my animals. Your pet will be in the best hands with Cody!”


15. Dena D.
“She is, was, and will always be a great pet owner. Her love for her own pet, and the type of detailed oriented and organized person that she is, plus how dependable she is for the majority of her life, or as long as I've known her, fills me with enough confidence to say that I would trust her with my fur babies lives without a doubt.”

About: I had a dog all through my teenage years, ages 7-19. I also have helped taken care of my friends and families pets to walk, feed and play with them. I am currently working full time but still have plenty of time to take care of your dog! My work schedule isn’t a typical M-F so please feel free to talk to me so we can work out the best time! Your dog will never be unsupervised and there are no other pets in my home. I do have an open yard that depending on each dog, we can play there!
