“Great per sitter for our shy cat Mochi and helped us out last minute without hesitation! Was great in communicating and loved her photos and videos. Would highly recommend and plan to use her again in the future!”
“This was our first booking with Sandy doing drop-in visits for our 2 kittens. Sandy was great. She took good care of the cats & I will definitely book her in the future.”
“Amanda visited my cats 2x a day. They were well fed and played with. Would recommend to anyone looking for help with their cats while on vacation. She also went up and beyond by watering plants and bringing mail inside.”
“We usually have family take care of our dog, but everyone who would usually watch him was unavailable. Sherry dropped in to care for our dog, chomper, 3 times in one day while we were at a wedding. You can tell she really cares about dogs and treats them like she does her own. We'll definitely book her if we need someone to take care of Chomper in the future!”
About: I am a professional dog groomer. I work with pets every day and I will take wonderful care of yours. I can ensure your long haired dog stays brushed and maintained. I come home every day early to mid afternoon. Your pup can join me on my walks with my personal dog! I’m available for overnight stays! I have a fenced in yard for play outside! I own a sheltie who is very friendly with others, who’s sure to keep your fur babies company.
“Tracy is a very nice, punctual, good with detail oriented person. Having a dog who is epileptic (seizures) can be very stressful at times, especially going on vacation. But finding that right person can make everything feel at ease. I would not hesitate to use her again in the future.”
“Jazzlyn is amazing! I can't give her enough praise. My dog can be a difficult one to win over and he took to her almost immediately. She's warm, caring, responsible, trustworthy, intelligent and responsive. She's everything you could hope for to care for your family pets while you are away. Jazzlyn kept me updated every time she stopped by with pictures and notes. To add to her myriad of talents, she's also an incredible photographer. She took the most stunningly beautiful pictures of my dog and cat, that I actually changed their profile pictures on Rover using her photos. My dog is like one of my children to me and I loved having Jazzlyn care for him and same for my elderly cat, not to mention my son's turtle. She's truly a gem.”
About: My aunt would bring her dog over when she would go on vacation and I'd take care of her. I would watch my grandma's dog for her on vacation. My partner has a dog thats now ours and I'm trusted with them. I just love animals. I'm off every single Tuesday so I'll be free from 8:00 until 3:00 pm and then 5:00-10:00 pm to come play with your babies. I'm usually off on Wednesday as well but sometimes it's a Monday, depends on my work schedule for the week. But I'll have it 3 weeks in advance to fit your babies into my routine to make sure they're well taken care of. I'll make sure your baby is fed, watered, walked and played with. I can crate them if needed. If they're good with other animals, I'd be more than willing to take them and my little one on a walk in a park together, I love taking mine to wildwood.
“Ian did a fantastic job. My cats were relaxed and content when I arrived home after 5 days. Ian maintained their food and play routines beautifully, and was able to create his own bond with them. Next trip, I will definitely book Ian again.”
“Andy accepted our booking last minute and was flexible with a time change. When she came over, she let us know one of our dogs didn’t want to go out so she offered to come back later. I really appreciated that! She was on time for both check ins and sent pics and great updates. We will definitely book with Andy again.”
About: I have always cared and taken care of neighbours and family friends dogs, which then lead to working at greenlin pet resort! I am very knowledgeable on body language and dog behaviours along with having great patience towards new pups and older pups. I also have an amazing attention span and lots of energy to walk and play with your dogs! Apart from caring for my own fur pup, on off days I’m available mornings-evenings. Also allowing time for pet care, evenings of my work days! Depending on the vibe and mood of your pet, I work around them! Only endorsing healthy and fun behaviour. I let them decide what is too much and just enough (walks, playing, rubs, tricks, etc).
“First time using Rover.com, was a bit uncertain as a protective dog mom but Maggie instantly put my mind at ease when I met her. Luna instantly took to her and was a very happy puppy all weekend. Maggie went above and beyond. I highly recommend and would undoubtedly have her watch Luna again ☺️”
About: I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve developed an understanding of their needs, behaviors, and routines. I also have experience babysitting dogs, providing daily walks, playtime, feeding, and providing a comforting presence. From high energy dogs or independent cats, I approach each pet with patience, attentiveness, and genuine care. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for in your absence ❤️ My schedule is currently flexible, so I’m happy to work with your preferred times. Just let me know what you’re looking for, and I’ll do my best to make it work! I live in a pet friendly apartment very close to the susquehanna, so I make sure pets get plenty of walks around city island, bathroom breaks, and playtime both indoors and outdoors to keep them happy and comfortable. When caring for pets in your home, I will follow your routines closely to help them feel safe.
About: I have always been surrounded by dogs. I love them, and I love taking care of them. Whether it’s playing toys, taking walks, or even giving them a bath, my goal is to make your pup just as happy as if you were there! As a kid, I always wanted a dog. My family made it very clear that I had to help take care of the dog. We have two dogs that I know fully how to take care of, including one with extreme food allergies. I’ve also been a nanny to not only kids, but their dogs as well. I see it important to take care of dogs just as well as we need to take care of our children. Dogs are family members in my eyes!

Alexis P.
“Alexis took care of my furry baby as if it were her own. She played with her, snuggled with her and gave her anything she needed. I am very careful with who I would allow to take care of my baby, and she was the person I trusted. She always did everything I requested and more to make her happy and know that she was loved even when I couldn't be there. You couldn't have a better person care for your fur baby.”
