Kimberly walked into a difficult first time situation to manage my brother's pet cat's improperly maintained litter box. My brother is in assisted living,(Florida) and does have cognitive issues. He, by mistake discarded the scooper. Kimberly was in her rights to quit right there. Instead she informed me of the problems and opted to try one more visit. I, (NJ), saw to it to provide items needed. Who could ask for a better second chance. Kimberly is most definitely a caring professional. Hopefully it goes better going forward. I am prepared to at some point look to get Nicholas (the cat), adopted, but for now I thank Kimberly for her great efforts.

Rosangely was amazing with my pets and I would absolutely book with her again! She was very attentive, caring, and detailed throughout the entire stay. She followed all of my instructions carefully and really went above and beyond to make sure my pets were comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. I especially appreciated how detailed her Rover cards were because they gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I always felt updated and reassured that my pets were safe and in good hands. You can genuinely tell Rosangely truly cares about the animals she watches, and I’m so grateful for all the effort she put in! Will definitely be booking again, best rover ever!

Teresa was great! She kept me in the loop with my babies (kitties) while we were gone; she even washed their food bowls! I really appreciate that she was willing and able to help it with such short notice.

Maria was great with our kitty, who takes medication twice daily. She is very thorough and detail oriented. Easy to work with, she is flexible and knows when to reach out if something seems off. Our kitty seems to enjoy her visits. We will absolutely work with Maria again.

Annette was great with our dog! We’ve used the same dog sitter for years through rover who recently stopping taking appointments so I was nervous about leaving our dog with a new person, especially after a recent surgery but Annette was great! The communication was very thorough and she made us feel like Stella was well taken care of. We will definitely use her again when we travel.

About: With a lifetime of dog ownership under my belt, I offer the patient, seasoned perspective of a true "dog person." I have cared for dogs at every stage of life, from energetic adults to those in their golden years who require a gentler touch and extra patience. What sets me apart is my commitment to undivided, one-on-one attention. Because I understand that some pets prefer their own space, I never bring my own dog, Shadow, on visits. This allows me to focus entirely on your pet’s specific needs, whether they are a playful adult who needs a brisk walk or a senior who prefers a slow sniff around the block. I bring the same level of reliability and devotion to your home that I have given my own pets for decades. As a self-employed professional working from home, my schedule is incredibly flexible. This allows me to prioritize your pet's needs throughout the day, whether they require a mid-day stroll, a potty break, or just some company. Unlike a traditional 9-to-5, I can easily shift my tasks to ensure I am available for consistent visits and reliable care, giving your dog the attention they deserve while you are away. provide attentive care exclusively in your home to ensure your pet stays comfortable in their familiar environment. My visits are entirely focused on maintaining your dog's specific routine, whether that involves refreshing water bowls, administering meals, or enjoying quality playtime. I prioritize safety and security at all times, making sure your home is locked up and your pet is happy and settled before I depart. Since I don't host pets in my own home, your dog receives my full, undivided attention during every single visit.

About: We have had my family dog for over 10 years and I had the pleasure of learning how to train a puppy. From potty training to teaching her tricks, it was such an experience to be able to grow up alongside a furry family member. I typically work about six to eight hours a day, monday-friday. I am completely free nights and weekends and am willing to do check-ins as needed. As someone who owns pets, I would want a caretaker to treat them with the best care they can provide, which is what I strive to do.

About: Friends and family have relied on me to care for their pets for years, from feeding and walking to giving them plenty of love. My own pup, Bella, is social and loves making new friends after spending over a year in daycare. I decided to join Rover to give other pet parents a cozy, caring alternative to daycare when they can’t be with their pups. I’m also experienced with senior dogs and understand the extra patience and gentle care they need. With us, your dog will get attention, playtime, and a cozy place to feel right at home. Ball is life. Around here, fetch, walks, and snuggles are part of every day. I have a fenced-in yard where pups can run and play safely, plus I’m home in the mornings and early afternoons with evening walks to wrap up the day. I also understand the extra attention senior dogs may need and provide care at a pace that keeps them comfortable. Whether it’s playtime or quiet company, I’ll make sure your dog feels right at home. I have a fenced-in yard that’s perfect for safe play and sniff breaks. My dog Bella loves making new friends, so your pup will have a built-in buddy for playtime or cozy naps. With your approval, I’m happy to share treats and plenty of cuddles. Whether your pup is playful or prefers a slower pace (like many senior dogs), I adjust to their needs. If your dog prefers their own space, I can easily crate them so they feel secure and comfortable.

About: I've had pets, including dogs, since childhood. My friends trust me with their doggies, of various breeds/ ages, and they refer me to others often. I work from home (remote), but will sometimes be out during the evening for a few hours. I am attentive! I can take your dog out for exercise & potty breaks. I am willing to work with your schedule! Lots of love & petting! Can be on the couch with me. Frequent walks if desired. Can visit dog parks. Good with feeding schedules. Bedding is helpful (and crate if necessary).

I cannot rave enough about the outstanding care and attention Becca provided for our beloved dog, Buttercup! From the moment we reached out to her, Becca was professional, responsive, and showed an immediate interest in understanding Buttercup's needs, routine, and personality. This personal touch made all the difference. Buttercup is more than just a pet to us; she's a part of our family. It's always tough to leave her behind, but Becca made this experience worry-free. She checked in on Buttercup as promised, adhering to our feeding schedule without a hitch. But it didn’t stop there. Becca went above and beyond by sending us daily updates complete with photos and videos, which were the highlight of our day! It was reassuring to see Buttercup so happy and well-cared for in our absence. What sets Becca apart is her genuine love for animals. She didn’t just perform the necessary tasks; she spent quality time with Buttercup, giving her the affection and company she misses when we’re away. This compassionate approach is something that truly stands out and showcases Becca's unique gift in pet care. Moreover, upon our return, we found our home exactly as we had left it, if not better, with a detailed note summarizing the visits and any noteworthy observations about Buttercup. It's the little things, such as this thoughtful communication, that really make Becca's service five-star worthy. For anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and highly competent pet sitter, I cannot recommend Becca highly enough. She has not only earned our complete trust but has also won a special place in Buttercup’s heart. We look forward to using her services again and are so grateful to have found someone who treats Buttercup as lovingly as we do. Thank you, Becca, for providing such peace of mind and for your exceptional care of our fur baby!

About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 20 years and have regularly cared for pets of friends and neighbors over the years. While I’m newer to Rover, I’m very experienced with pet care, including feeding, walking, administering basic medications, and making pets feel comfortable and safe in a home environment. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and treat them like my own. I understand the trust and concern when leaving your pets and will keep them safe. I currently work from home. I am available weekends for in home pet-sitting and visits. I can do some walking/ visits during the week depending on where you live and will help out if you have an emergency. I especially have flexibility for the JCP area. If your dog stays in my home then I am available 7 days a week. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly 7 year old pug that is very good with all dogs. I share my home with my husband and teenage daughter, both are very comfortable around dogs and will give your pet all the attention that they are comfortable with. We are home and will make sure you pet is not left alone, but will give them space if they need it. They can be as close and get as much attention as they choose. We are dog people!

Carissa was great with our Shiba Inc. Sasha is a stubborn dog that is picky about who she lets walk her and Carissa was definitely let into Sasha's circle. Will use Carissa again.
