“Madison was beyond phenomenal!!! She made me feel at ease every step of the way. Her communication with me was exactly what I needed to make me feel at ease leaving my new rescue kitty in her care. I can not recommend her enough! Will definitely be using her for every trip I have. My cat loved her as well!! She is so kind and caring and took care of my baby like he was her own. If I could give her a million stars I would!!”

“Wendy was great with my two cats! She offered a handful of sweet pictures to sift through on the daily, and my babes seemed so at ease in her presence. I'm incredibly thankful for Wendy's help and most importantly, love.”

“Maeghan was so wonderful with our pups Checkers and Ava! She arrived on time and provided top notch care during her visit. She communicated all aspects of the visit to us and kindly provided photos. Maeghan is professional and we felt very safe with our dogs in her care. Highly recommended!”

“Mary was awesome. She accommodated a pretty short notice request for our first time for a drop-in. And while our dogs can be anxious around new people, she had no concerns and took them out and played with them and they had a blast. We will definitely be using her services again.”

“Shoshana did a fantastic job watching our cats while we were on vacation. Her daily texts and photos made us relieved that they were in good hands. Some of our cats are shy but they warmed up to Shoshana quickly. Highly recommended!”

“Kelsey was amazing with our 3 pups while we were away for a few days! We opted for 2-3 daily check in visits which worked great for our dogs. Our three dogs are different ages and have slightly different care needs. Kelsey was able to accommodate them all and our dogs seemed happy and calm while we were away.”

About: Hi, there! I’m Dani. l work full-time on a hybrid schedule (some remote days), but would love to help you take care of your fur babies in my spare time and when I’m working remotely. I have several years of experience petsitting and dog walking through family and friends and through Rover. I am available for boarding, check-ins, and walks! Please refer to my Rover calendar for my booking availability. My daily routine nonetheless consists of pet care since I have pets of my own, so I am very familiar and comfortable with caring for animals around the clock 🫶🏼 You can rest assured that I will treat your pets and your home just as I would want mine to be treated. I’ll give lots of love and attention to your fur babies and be sure to send you plenty of cute photos!
“Rosalyn was excellent with Cha Cha without ever meeting her! She took plenty of photos, was prompt and is very courteous and responsive to any last minute details or changes. I have already booked her for another week before this week’s drop-in visits are complete! Highly recommend!”
About: Super friendly and caring pet owner of 13 years. Friends and family have relied on me for many years to dog-sit, walk and care for their animals! I love ALL dogs, and will go above and beyond to make sure your animal has a happy time! I very recently returned from Army Combat Training in Fort Sill, Oklahoma. I am currently enlisted with the NJ Army National Guard. Looking for Part-Time work taking care of animals! Extremely reliable and respectful worker. My schedule is very flexible and I can always make time to accommodate you and your pet! I have a 13 year old black Labrador, who is just about the most lovable dog you’ll ever meet. He will be there to keep your animal company and make sure their time is very enjoyable and full of activity! My yard is unfenced, but I love going on walks and will take LOTS of leashed potty breaks! My home is off of any main highways, set back on a very quiet cul-de-sac!
About: Ever since I was a kid, I've been in love with animals. I am the owner of a reactive dog and currently have a cat on my lap as I type this. I have experience bathing dogs, giving medication (pills), caring for chinchillas and guinea pigs, and have also cared for reptiles. My goal is to make your pet as happy as possible while you are away. I work part time in retail, but am hoping to move towards pet care full time. I try to be as flexible as possible. After 3:30 pm on most days I am free. My mondays and Thursdays are open. I have many people that trust me with their keys, door code, security system codes. I will send you updates, pictures and videos, and always request emergency contacts and vet numbers.
“Anahi is a wonderful person and sitter! She is friendly, kind, and a great communicator. I was very nervous as it was my first time using the site to find a sitter, but I made the right choice booking Anahi. I was not expecting my shy cat to interact with her right away, but from the first visit, she was sharing pictures of them playing together, and him seeking her out for affection as she walked in on the second visit. I do believe animals are a great judge of character and I will be booking her for my next trip. Highly recommend.”

I’m available for dog walks, drop-ins, and house sitting on weekdays after 3 PM, as well as full availability on weekends. During the summer months, I’m completely free and able to take on additional daytime, extended, and overnight pet care, including longer stays and more frequent walks or check-ins. Pet care naturally fits into my routine, as I already care for my own dogs daily and prioritize reliable, attentive, and calm care for every pet as if they were my own. I care for pets the same way I care for my own—by sticking to their routine, keeping things calm and safe, and giving them lots of attention. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize comfort, consistency, and clear communication with updates along the way.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with a big heart and an even bigger smile. Growing up, I shared my home with wonderful dogs, including my sweet Chika, who taught me just how special the bond with a pup can be. Right now, I don't have dogs of my own, but that's why I can't wait to spoil yours! I love pouring all my affection, playtime, and energy into caring for dogs—whether it's long walks, belly rubs, or just cuddling on the couch. I have a naturally happy and upbeat personality, and dogs seem to sense it right away—they warm up to me quickly and we become fast friends. Your furry family member will get tons of love, attention, and fun while you're away. I can't wait to meet them! Pet care easily fits into my everyday routine because I love spending time with dogs and always make them my top priority. My schedule is flexible, and I’m home most of the day, so your pup will get plenty of walks, playtime, meals on schedule, and lots of attention and cuddles. Dogs in my care are never left alone for long—I treat them just like my own. Spending time with them is genuinely the best part of my day. I offer loving, attentive care in a safe and relaxed home. My partner and I live in a roomy 3-bedroom house with no pets of our own, so your dog gets all our attention and plenty of space to play and chill. When I board or watch dogs here, I stick to your routine—meals, walks, playtime, everything. The house is clean, secure, and dog-friendly, with constant supervision and lots of cuddles. If I’m house-sitting at your place, I treat your home like my own: follow your pet’s schedule, keep things tidy, and stay over as needed. Your pup’s safety and happiness always come first!
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and currently care for four cats, including two kittens from a mother cat I rescued, rehabilitated, and had spayed. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, medications, behavioral quirks, and providing patient, attentive care. I also care for a bearded dragon, so I understand the importance of routines, habitat care, and attention to detail for pets with specific needs. I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of animals and personalities. I prioritize safety, consistency, and treating every pet as if they were my own. I work independently with a flexible schedule while attending school mostly online and one class Monday night, which gives me the ability to plan my days around pet care. This allows me to provide reliable check-ins, attentive visits, and consistent routines. Daily care matters to me, from scooping litter and maintaining clean feeding areas to giving my bearded dragon his supplements and proper habitat care. I make sure pets get regular playtime, calm downtime, and their own space, while staying attentive to routines and any changes in behavior.
“I am so thankful and appreciative for the care Mary and Ginny provided to my two cats. This was the first time we needed to find care for them and I couldn’t have been happier with finding Mary and Ginny. They made me feel completely at ease with leaving them behind and I know that they loved them the same way we do. One of our cats needs medicine and it felt like such an inconvenience to ask someone to take on that responsibility, but Ginny and Mary made me feel so much better about the situation and I am so thankful to them for that. Thank you again Ginny and Mary. It meant the world to me to know they were okay while we were gone 💕”

“We are new to Rover and were so nervous about leaving our two dogs with someone other than family. We went away for the weekend and a snow storm was expected to hit. My stress level was off the charts! We feel so fortunate to have found Emily. She went above and beyond to take care of our boys. She made a very stressful situation easier for my husband and I. She anticipated need and we made a plan together for the worst case scenario. The snow storm was challenging for us and Emily, but she took amazing care of our babies. We could not ask for a more caring, attentive person! Our boys don’t normally take to everyone, but at our meet and greet my most finicky dog Bongo jumped on her lap and that is how we knew we had met the right person for us. The snow storm was the universe testing how much trust I could give someone I just met… I’m so grateful for Emily’s kindness. Will definitely rebook over and over again!”

After deciding that a kennel would not work out for our dog, Lady, we saw Stacey’s info on Rover.com We had a nice meet and greet and as soon as our Lady walked over to her and connected, our decision was made. Besides the Rover updates, she stayed in touch personally. She gave us peace of mind.

Lina is the BEST. She was incredibly communicative, dependable and sent us lots of photos of all three furbabies (even of the one who hides!!). She administered medication 2x a day for our Brutus. Lina will be our go-to in the future for all pet drop-ins. :)
