“Jenn and Brian were wonderful with Mika. They treated her as she was one of their own. Spoiling her with treats, love and affection. I would highly recommend booking with them.”


“Jackie made it possible to leave on a 2 week vacation. All 3 of our dogs were well taken care of. Jackie did everything we asked. We will definitely ask Jackie to take care of our family again. Thank you”


“I can’t begin to tell you how wonderful it was to have Bev. She was watching my dog during this last snow event and not only did she reassure me because I couldn’t get back in time (plane cancelled) that she would gladly keep her as long as needed she went to the store and bought more of her dog food as I didn’t send enough. I couldn’t ask for anything more. It certainly made me feel great that my dogs care was one less thing I had to worry about. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars.”


“Wow! Just amazing. I wanted to give 10 stars ⭐️!! Melissa allowed for me to book at the last minute prior to vacation. Literally days! She has the sweetest energy and provides reassurance from the first moment of interaction. She put all my worries to rest as this was my first time boarding my pup. I will always call on Melissa as my furever sitter 🩵.”


“As always Alena went above and beyond in her care for my fur baby Champ. My baby had an accident just a few days before I was set to travel for a wedding, Alena was willing and able to care for champ and administer his medications and watch over him. She kept me up to date with photos and health updates and made it so I didn’t have to worry or stress about him. I knew with her he’d be in good hands, and my pup was so excited to see her again. Thank you Alena for taking care of my fur baby!”


“Michelle was fantastic from our initial meeting before the visit to picking up Hank after my week out of town. She sent daily photos, provided daily updates, and I'll certainly recommend her! Looking forward to entrusting Hank to her care again in the future.”


“Madeline was absolutely fantastic and took amazing care of our senior dog Audrey who was experiencing some health problems at the time. When another sitter cancelled on us last second, Madeline took our pup on and took incredible care of her. I cannot stress enough how grateful we are to have found her. We will absolutely be booking with her in the future!”


“Denae and Mark were absolute angels! They are such nice people! I felt that my crazy, young pittie was in great hands! Zero felt right at home during the first meet and greet and that made leaving her there for a long weekend less anxiety-inducing for both me and her as she is a bit of an anxious dog. They made her feel so comfortable! I will definitely be booking with them again and would recommend them for anyone! Lots of pictures and great communication! Thank you Mark and Denae!”


“We needed someone to watch our dog last minute and Kimberly was there to help! She was very quick to respond, accommodating, and took great care of our girl. She had a wonderful time and we would definitely book again.”


“Very responsive and sent multiple pictures of our dog daily.”


“My dog Joey stayed with Mindy again this year during our annual Buffalo Christmas trip to visit friends. Mindy was again very communicative and gave regular updates on Joey‘s well-being and snapshots of playtime with friends. Thanks again Mindy for being a great host to our boy!”

“Rusty was clearly very happy when my husband and I picked him up, we could see in his eyes that he had a great calm time around sierra and her husband. We would definitely consider doggy sitting with them again 🥰”



“At first I was skeptical about using Rover to find someone to care for my German Shepherd that I just adopted and because of moving reasons I needed a place for him to be until my place was ready. I came across Jin, and she was immediately available, and I couldn't be more lucky to have found such an amazing human been, she took care of my Tony so good, with constant pictures and follow ups about his activities. I will only use her services to care for my dog. She us the best. Thank you so much for taking care my big baby tony.??”


“Miranda was an absolutely amazing caretaker for Obi! Miranda sent me pictures throughout the weekend and let me know what Obi was up to. I’ll definitely be booking with Miranda again!”


“We had left Willow with Meghana for about a week and she and her partner were super accommodating to our dog! She constantly gave us updates and pictures on how our dog was doing. Our dog is a rescue so she is a bit timid and shy upon first meet. Meghana made sure Willow was comfortable and relaxed - they respected her space and she opened up to Meghana right away! They also frequently updated us on how Willow was doing, and it seemed like Willow made some new friends. We appreciate her service and her ability to care for our Willow for the week. Will definitely be reaching out again for your services! We really appreciate the care you provided. Thank you!”


“Jillian was so awesome to work with! She was easy to communicate with and was flexible with making plans for our last minute booking. She treated our cat like a king and sent video/picture updates the whole time we were gone! I will only be using Jillian for all my cat’s sitting boarding needs in the future.”


About: Hi, I’m Amy — your pet’s new favorite auntie! 🐾 Since growing up with big dogs, small dogs, and cats - I have been a lifelong animal lover living vicariously through pet sitting for friends. I’ve always been the one that friends, roommates, and coworkers call when they need someone they can trust with their pets—and now I’m here for you too. Whether your furry family member is a playful pup, a chill cat, or a quirky critter, I’ll care for them like they’re my own. I live an active lifestyle and love long walks, playtime, and cozy cuddle sessions. I’m happy to care for pets with all kinds of personalities—high-energy dogs, shy cats, and everything in between. Whether it’s boarding at my place or house sitting at yours, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I know how much your pet means to you, and I’ll always follow your care routines, send regular updates, and create a stress-free experience for both of you. I currently work from home on Fridays and am available on weekends for daytime or overnight dog sitting in my home (small and medium size dogs) or house sitting/drop in visits/walks for any pets between Friday 1 pm and Sunday 8 pm. Your home or mine, I love to be active or cuddle - whatever your pet’s personality is! My backyard is not fenced in, but does have a nice space for potty breaks. I am close by Delaware park for long walks. I don’t mind if pups use a crate or roam the house - whatever you prefer, but in my home I will ask that your pet is house trained.

About: With over 10 years of experience as a dedicated dog caregiver, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for a variety of breeds, from small Chihuahuas and Pugs to playful Beagles, energetic Aussies, and gentle Rottweilers. I offer everything from daily walks and potty breaks to teaching tricks and providing loving overnight care. My calm, patient approach allows me to build trusting relationships with every pet, ensuring they feel safe and loved while you’re away. As a true fur lover, I treat each pet like family, always giving them the attention and care they deserve. I’m currently stay at home so I will have enough time to watch your dog over the day and nights. Also available during the weekends. I have a fenced yard to let them go out on potty break whenever they need. I’m a strong person, so I ain’t afraid of taking them over walks, great relationship builder skills. I also can take them on a run if dog needs to canalize their energy.

“Amanda was an awesome sitter for Rizzo and we will definitely use her again in the future! You can tell she truly loves the doggo she is watching and treats them as her own. With the photos she shared everyday you could tell Rizzo was enjoying her time with Amanda which gave us relief while we were on our vacation.”

“Amy is an exceptional caregiver! She has personally looked after my dog, Kona, with the utmost care and attention to detail. She follows any specialized instructions you might have (especially for my girl who’s the pickiest of eaters). Amy took Kona on walks around the neighborhood and park, and gave her a plethora of cuddles and snuggles. Kona absolutely adores her, and I can always trust that she’ll be in good hands with Amy. A+++ star sitter!!”

Emerson dog parents share their Rover experiences
I had such a great experience with Jessie. This was my first time using her, and I couldn’t be happier. She was incredibly attentive, communicative, and clearly great with my dog, who adored her right away. I felt totally at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend and would absolutely book with her again!

Anna was very pleasant and attentive with our dog-Link. I would strongly refer her to others. Thank you Anna!!

Monica is great!! Daisy was happy and at home for the her short stay. Monica is very knowledgeable and experienced. I highly recommend her.

Great overall - Communication, Care, Friendliness - everything you could hope for in a Pet Caretaker. Will definitely reach out again for our next vacation.
