“Savana did a great job following all directions and communicating clearly and proactively. My two dogs were very happy and all good with the house. I highly recommend Savana for your drop-in visits.”


“What an experience. We have never left anyone to take care of our Domino at home. Instead we would take him somewhere out of the comfort of his own home. Daphne truly loves animals and respect her clients. She even went above and beyond by bringing in our mail. I would refer her and Rover to all our friends ONLY because of our experience with Daphne. 10 stars AMAZING CARING RESPECTFUL!!!”



“This was the 2nd time we used Tiffany. She is amazing...our two rescue kitties who dont trust new people came out and said hi both visits. She is magical.”


“Grayson was great. This was my first time leaving Tom for an extended period of time since he has developed some kidney issues. Between that and him being a Velcro cat, I was a little nervous. Grayson was extremely communicative and timely and alleviated any initial concerns I had. Tom is doing great today like we didn’t even miss a beat! I know he was in good hands with her and will definitely try to use her in the future!”



About: I am an experienced dog handler and temperament tester. I have worked in shelters for the past 8 years, and help run a dog rescue. I believe in, and practice a positive reinforcement training and reward system. I will provide a safe and fun and social experience for your dog. I love dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I am also well versed in the “crate and rotate” situation in the event there are animals in my home that don’t like each other. My schedule does vary and I do work weekends but animals are never left alone for more than 4 to 6 hours. Crate trained animals are required to stay in my home. I am happy to help with that sort of training.

“Kimberly was GREAT! I recommend her, she kept us well informed by sending Rover cards and even included pictures. I will definitely be using Kimberlys services again.”


“Meghan was awesome! We had to go to a wedding and we're unsure of whether or not we'd need to stay overnight. She was super flexible and was able to accommodate us for the extra day. My dogs LOVE her and took to her immediately- which says a lot, as my chihuahua is not the friendliest. Will definitely be using her services again. Highly recommend!”


“Nia was amazing with our Lab Leo. She was very professional and punctual and went above and beyond. Leo is a good judge of character and he took to Nia instantly. I would highly recommend Nia to anyone. Thank you Nia!!!”

About: I have grown up with pets in my family my whole life. I started out with cats and eventually got my own dogs and I’ve been caring for both for 30+ years. I love animals and it shows in everything I do. I have four dogs of my own and I volunteer with a local rescue where I try to foster dogs and cats and do as much as I can to help out. I have administered vaccinations to pets when needed. I have all the necessary tools to care for animals in my home. I have a fenced in yard and which I take the dogs out to play. It’s like camp for doggies! Ask any of my friends, relatives and previous dog sitting customers… I will treat your pets like my own. I typically dog walk mid-day any day of the week. When boarding, I am home most of the day and all night with your pets to take them out and feed them and give them whatever they need. I have a fully fenced in yard in which dogs love to play. The fence is 4 feet high and I can be out in the yard with them at all times to watch them play and interact with each other or I can just have your dog out in my yard by his or herself if that’s what your dog prefers. If you prefer crate training for your dog, I have crates and I have separate rooms that I can keep your loved one(s) in if he/she prefers some alone time.

About: I am a certified Veterinary Assistant/Technician and have my Animal CPR certificate. I have worked in both general practice and emergency and are ready for all your animals needs. I am able to give insulin to diabetics and fluids to those with kidney disease. Over the years I have cared for all my family's and friends pets for weeks at a time. With every pet having the best experience and given the utmost care. I currently work part time at a restaurant a few nights a week and weekend nights. It is only for a few hours a day and I would never be later than 10pm. This leaves plenty of time to play, feed, and walk your pets! I can take them out into the yard for hours of play or I would be willing to take them to the dog park too! I am available early in the morning so if your pet is on any medication I can be there to give it to them. I am unable to offer boarding to my place of residence unless it was only for a day. I have a fenced in yard with a pool but cannot do overnight boarding. I am up early in the morning to feed breakfast to your pet and take them for their first walk/outside time. Depending on the energy level of your pet we can have a couple hours of play time. I would be there for lunch and dinner and one more walk before bedtime.

“Fiona is exactly who you want watching your pet! She is a great communicator and very transparent about how the visit with your pet is going.

Lindsay N.
“Lindsay Newman is one of my best friends and is also a caring and nurturing Dog Mom to her three rescues and her rotating cast of foster doggos. My dog, Gus, was one of her fosters that she pulled from a kill shelter in Burlington, NJ. Whenever we go on vacation, Gus goes to "Aunt Lindsay Camp" where he is spoiled rotten with gourmet dog food, all of the yard time he can handle and the company of his doggo cousins, who he loves. Lindsay is one of the most caring and responsible people I know- always putting the needs of her furry kids first. I am so grateful that Lindsay is in my life!”

My dogs LOVE her and took to her immediately- which says a lot, as my chihuahua is not the friendliest. Will definitely be using her services again. Highly recommend!”

Siobhan A.Star Sitter
“Siobhan is a wonderful person, and pet owner and responsible pet caregiver. I believe she is the best possible candidate you can find for a Rover.com pet caregiver! She is thoughtful, knowledgeable, kind, and pets and animals just love her. You have my full support for her candidacy and employment. Please reach out if you need further support for her application!”


Kayla S.
“Kayla is a loving pet owner herself. She will care for your pets just as her own. Dogs, cats, ferrets, doesn't matter. Along with her vet tech experience, your animals will be cared for with her utmost attention.”


Tara L.
“Tara has raised the most precious, well-behaved dog I have ever been around in my life. Her attention to detail for her own dog's needs and love for dogs in general is incomparable and anyone would be lucky enough to have her help. If she has long days she'll always make a point to give her dog enough exercise even if it includes not giving herself enough time to make dinner. Being an avid hiker as well always makes her pup happy as she has a lot of insight and access to many hiking trails and lakes. Hiring her to watch your dog will probably make her just as happy to spend time with your dog as it will make you happy in the level of care she will provide.”


Claire P.
“Claire has taken care of our dogs down through the years while we were away on vacation. We always came home to a happy, healthy and energetic dog. She is very responsible and she always put the safety and well being of our dogs first! I would highly recommend Claire for dog walking, pet sitting etc. Our current dog Charley can sometimes get shy, but Claire has established a very secure relationship with him, and he looks forward to her visits and walks!”


Allison C.Star Sitter
“Allie took care of our dog Leo for two years and he just loved her. Was always very excited to see her and she took excellent care of him. I was never worried that he wouldn't be properly taken care of while we were out of town and she treated him just like he was her own.”


Lauren K.
“Lauren is fantastic! She is genuine and reliable and just a really great person. She was able to book last minute after my original sitter cancelled. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and will absolutely be having her watch my pup again. It’s great to feel free to travel and know that your pet is well cared for. My dog loves everybody, but he really took a shine to Lauren, probably because of her calm and kind manner with him. She sends pictures and updates, so you know your pet is in good hands.”
