“Just wonderful. Matthew was professional and could not have been nicer to our three dogs. The house was left in Immaculate condition and he had good communication.”
“Heather is AMAZING!!! This is the second time I’ve used her for my pets, Sid and Stormy. She is very communicative and takes such great care them that I don’t worry knowing that they’re in her care. She sent me photos and videos and Sid (my dog) always looked like he was having so much fun. I will only use Heather in the future.”

“I am new to the area and was super nervous about finding a new dog sitter. My pups instantly LOVED Z’ie. She was so kind and friendly and always sent me updates with pictures and videos. I was so at ease while I was gone and was able to enjoy my vacation worry free. I highly recommend her!”

About: I've had experience with labradors as family pets for roughly 10 years. From their interesting bathing routines to their high energy bursts I understand the struggles! I also have experience with small dogs and australian shepherds. I am currently focusing on dog walking but I am more than willing to accommodate to other pet necessities. I am a full time RN which means I work 3 nights a week. Pet care will be doable for about 4 times a week! My schedule is flexible so it is not consistent every week but I am available to go for early and midday walks. I am willing to accommodate pet care should I be free to do so! I will follow the pet owners routine so that they are not confused in the change of care. I will do my best to stay consistent and to practice their upmost safety.
About: I have had four dogs over the years along with over 100 fosters over Covid. Even after Covid, we still take in puppies every once in a while, although recently, we just got a new puppy. I am extremely flexible with my schedule currently , and will be for majority of the summer. I don’t mind housesitting and I don’t mind learning new things to take care of different pets. I also have experience with reptiles as I used to have a bearded dragon. Although, sadly, we had to rehome because of his health issues 🥲. I have no permanent job, although I will be taking time over the summer to spend with my family. All I ask is that you give me a heads up on when and where you need me. Two of my current dogs are very low maintenance, as Rusty has gotten older he has gotten arthritis so we go on as many walks as he can tolerate. Austin is the definition of a couch potato. While Isla hates the leash, but we are training her to comfortable with it. I truly believe that your pet is my pet and I will always take the best care of any and all pets I encounter. I truly love animals and look forward to meeting your best friends.
“Zoe has been great for short stays or even long stays. I have used her twice now and both times have been great. I would definitely reach out to her for my sitting needs again in the future. She is a great communicator and sends daily updates and pictures.”

“Denise went above and beyond for us! We had a family emergency and she was able to change our booking to arrive a day early to help us. Both the dog and the house were in great shape when we returned!”

About: Elvis, a 14lb shi-poo and his two new buddies, Tucker and Nanook, love having other puppy guests over since his big brother passed on. We are very active and enjoy going for long walks and finding new things to sniff. The house is open with plenty of space to lounge on. The house is tiled except for the guest bedrooms and pretty puppy proof with a close of a few bedroom doors and a blanket on the couch. The pups have full access to a fenced outdoor space where squirrel and bird activity can be found in the mornings. I have had dogs since I was 7 years old and I volunteered at shelter for many years. I grew up with animals of all kinds on a farm in Vermont and its just my way of life. Furry friends are the best! I will cherish yours as much as I cherish mine. Please note that I prefer only weekend stay-cations for your pup but can do mid week if we arrange with enough advance notice. I have a pretty flexible schedule and my husband works from home. The dogs will get plenty of belly rubs and love. Since, we have three of our own, we are very prepared for any doggie need I have a fenced in yard and we we generally keep the dogs corralled to wherever we are or in the non carpet areas. We are happy to crate, if you bring one. Dogs can go on furniture (up to 25lb)

“We are so pleased with the level of care and compassion that Ben provided. Our dog can't see much anymore, so I was worried leaving him with someone new. Ben provided daily updates and pictures. Thank you so much for caring for our pup!”
“Emily did an amazing job of house sitting while watching our cat and dog. She was very responsive and provided regular updates and pictures of our pets. We would welcome her back any time!”

“Samuel was great with my animals and communicated how everything was going. Left the house very clean and very professional. I will use him again.. my animals loved having him there.”

“Wonderful! Very attentive to my poodles. Helped to address a food issue when one of mine went on a hunger strike. Very respectful of my home. She stayed for 3 days and 2 nites. Great communication! Love her!!”

About: I love dogs and I’m always happy to give them a playful day. Walks, runs, ball, frisbee…you name it! Here to make sure there’s more to a dog’s day besides sitting at home. Can be arranged for daily, weekly, randomly. Hoping to build strong friendships with owners and pups! All about taking new routes and trying new things. Making sure they are walked, fed, hydrated, happy, and healthy! All the belly rubs in the world and maybe a treat or two if the owner approves.
“Kelsie hid a great job taking care of our dog. He is big and can be challenging and managed his with ease! She even watered our plants while we were gone and sent us pictures of our boy everyday. She was great at communicating! We will certainly use her again!”

“Lili did such a beautiful job taking care of our boys and our home! We loved the daily videos and extra care she gave our boys. We can’t express how grateful we are to her and would love to hire her anytime we travel!”

Emerald Forest pet parents share their Rover experiences
We had an excellent experience with Gihan! She was incredibly sweet, professional, and took amazing care of our 3 dogs. Communication was outstanding throughout the stay, and she sent wonderful photos that gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear she paid close attention to each dog’s individual needs and made sure they were comfortable and happy. Our dogs had a wonderful time with her, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!
We had a wonderful experience! Marissa took excellent care of our two dogs and cat while we were away and sent daily photos and updates, which gave us great peace of mind. When we returned home, our pets were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. As an added bonus, the house was spotless. Marissa even vacuumed or swept up the pet hair and washed the sheets and towels, which was completely unexpected and so appreciated. Marissa went above and beyond in every way. We highly recommend her and will absolutely be booking with her again!

One word to describe Pauline is Fabulous!!! She has a ton of experience and knowledge when it comes to dogs. My older dog now needs insulin twice a day and Pauline was up to the task. She house sat the dogs and did everything we ask of her. our dogs weren't exactly friendly but she managed them so well that she had them walking the neighborhood, a first for us!! Pauline has a very nice outgoing personality that makes it super easy to communicate with her and is the nicest person you'll ever meet. We were blown away by just how good she really was, we will never use anyone else!!!!!!

This was my first time using Rover, and I needed a cat sitter at the last minute. Kristina was fantastic! She communicated regularly and sent daily pictures, which gave me peace of mind. She even provided a private room for Chloe to help reduce stress, which I really appreciated. Kristina went above and beyond to make sure Chloe was comfortable and cared for. Highly recommend!

We so appreciated everything Ashley did for our pup. She walked him and took him on rides. Buster was really treated as if he was her own dog. We returned home to a happy dog and home in perfect condition. Ashley is a very caring and loving person and we would recommend her to anyone needing an attentive care giver. We will definitely request her for another booking.

Karen was absolutely wonderful! We received frequent updates and took such amazing care of our pup as shown through the photos. She left the house immaculately clean and even washed her bedding. We were not expecting that! We will definitely use her again and she was an amazing fit with our reactive pup.
