Jenna was amazing! She sent updates and communicated with us the entire stay. I didn’t have to ask, she sent me so many pictures of my dog and I really appreciated that. She was very respectful and I knew my dog was in great care. I would 100% recommend her to my friends and family.

Oleg was amazing! I have a very difficult cat, and he was very patient and calm with her. He is communicative and sends updates daily along with photos. I felt secure being away from home knowing he was taking care of my fur baby. Will definitely be booking again!

About: I’ve raised my own dog since he was a puppy, so I know exactly what dogs need at every stage. From early morning walks to keeping them entertained and fed, it’s just part of my daily routine. I didn’t just own a dog I grew up with him. Your dog will get the same attention and care I give mine every single day. Dogs get a morning walk around 10–10:30am, then they’re free to relax in the living room or hang out in the fenced backyard. Once it cools down in the evening I take them out again around 6–7pm. During the day they have access to the backyard for potty breaks whenever they need it. Before bed there’s one last walk around 11–11:30pm so they’re settled for the night. I have a fenced backyard so dogs can roam and play safely without any worry. I own a friendly dog myself so your pup will have a buddy to hang out with. We’re in a house so there’s plenty of space to move around and get comfortable. Dogs are welcome on the furniture I want them to feel at home, not like they’re in a strange place.

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs in my family, and have moved out and have adopted a cat on my own. I am familiar with what makes pets happy and how to take care of them. I’ve dog sat for close friends and family before and am confident I will be a great resource to count on. I’m working part time and do drive so I am comfortable commuting. It gives me more time to focus on dog and cat care! Safety and trust are prioritized when it comes to pets. Understanding what triggers pets can have and making sure that they are happy and well taken care of,

Tammy is absolutely amazing! From the moment I met her at the meet and greet, I knew I had found a great dog sitter.

Robert took great care of Jeffrey! He is a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. We booked him from out of town for a wedding and he kept in touch to confirm, showed up on time and became immediate friends with Jeffrey. He was great with communication - sending us many pictures and videos. His passion for dogs is evident, I could tell that my dog not only received necessary care but also enjoyed the company and companionship Robert provided.

About: New to Rover✨ I had dogs of my own when I was 11 and I absolutely adored them. I was always happy to take care of them. I have also dog sat for my family’s friend active pup from time to time. Now, I have been doing drop in visits to another family friend’s new cat 🐈‍⬛ and I loved the experience so much that I want to take it on the road!! I am currently free all day. Usually I am home or I go on an adventure walk/ bike ride and would love to bring your pup/ kitty member along :). I am flexible to suit your needs and make it easier for you and your companion. I would love to know your companion’s daily routine as well to ensure a smooth and relaxing day for them. **A meet-up prior to service is offered** I have a pretty open living space in my townhouse. My community has lots of dogs and cats so it is very pet friendly and safe! We even have an open grass area to walk/play (on a leash). I am super excited to house/drop-in/ day sit your furry/feline friend!!

About: I love dogs, they are my favorite animal. I am very passionate about taking care of, walking, playing etc with dogs and will do the best I can with your awesome furry companion. All I require to take care of your doggy is a schedule detailing what you would do normally with them on the daily. I can give your dog all the attention and care they need during the day, again I love all kinds of dogs and will do anything to make your furry friend very happy. I have a dog of my own named jax, he is 4 years old and I have been taking care of him since me and my family bought him home from the new jersey dog shelter.

About: I have a golden retriever and a cat at home, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. My dog has anxiety, so I’m especially patient, gentle, and experienced with pets who need extra reassurance. Whether your pet is shy, playful, or somewhere in between, I’m attentive to their individual needs and routines. I’m here to provide calm, loving care that keeps them happy and you worry-free. I’m currently on my summer break, so I have a very open and flexible schedule for pet care! I’m available most days and can easily adjust to your pet’s routine. In September, I’ll be starting my Master’s classes three times a week, but I’ll still have plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, or visits around my class schedule. For now, I’m fully available and excited to spend time with some furry friends! I care for pets in their own homes, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow your routines closely from feeding schedules and potty breaks to playtime, walks, or cuddle time. I’m very respectful of your space and always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and calm in your absence.

Couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Razan was professional, communicative, and very accommodating of adjustments. She went above and beyond in taking care of our baby and I won’t use another sitter if I don’t have to! Thank you, Razan!

Another carefree vacation in the books thanks to the amazing Melissa. We knew our boy was in great hands and got fun pics and video to keep us up to date on how his day was going. We can’t recommend Melissa enough. Whether it’s a short trip or long vacation, you can’t go wrong with booking Melissa. Thanks for taking such great care of our Kody.

Beth was very communicative and flexible while accommodating our last minute plans to travel for Christmas Eve and Day. I met with Beth prior to our travel and she asked questions, provided references who were happy to provide glowing recommendations, and even returned back to meet my spouse who wasn’t available at our initial meeting. During our travel she took very good care of my dog and parrot, providing updates throughout the two days she was watching them including photos of our pets which set our minds at ease knowing our animals looked happy and well taken care of while we were away. There were absolutely zero issues with Beth. We are so happy to have found a trusted pet sitter to watch our pets.
