“Jayla was great with my anxious guy! She kindly took the job with a day’s notice 🙏 Thank you Jayla, you’re a lifesaver. Will def hit you up next time he needs care”
“We came back to a clean house and happy dogs, which is difficult because Coco is never happy with anyone. :) Coco must have had an especially good time, because she was in a very good mood. And my old lady, Maya, looked well cared for and clean, which is tough given her incontinence problems. The house looked well cared for as well. Meredith herself was extremely professional and responsive! I can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I have had a dog and cats my whole life growing up and have continuously watched friends/families/strangers pets. Whether it’s just for a walk or check ins throughout the day to full time overnight care, I’ve done it all! I love meeting all animals and I love any breed/size. I work remote every other week so I am available often during the day during those weeks and weekends. My job is self paced through the day so I can be flexible on times when I am remote. I live in an apartment with one cat and a roommate. I’ll mainly be doing dog walks but if needed I can bring a pet into my apartment no problem. Otherwise, I am very comfortable taking long walks/hikes with pets or to parks to run around!
“Kait was wonderful to have sitting our senior citizen dog! She was super attentive to detail, very communicative, and definitely will book her again!”
“So grateful to Kaitlyn for the great care she took of our pups! We look forward to her next stay!”
“Joselyn was great, stayed at our house for 8 days with our 4 furbabies, the dogs acclimated so well to her and the experience was fantastic. I hate leaving my dogs for a long time but after day 1 I felt much better. She keeps in contact often with photos and videos, I think I missed the dogs more than they missed me! Shd even dealt with a barely put together house that we just moved into, and crappy weather from the Nor'easter. I appreciate that so much!!The next time we are leaving town, Joselyn is my #1 person :)”
“Nicki was great with our small dog and cat. She is very responsive and attentive to their needs, and very respectful of the house. I would definitely book with her again!”
About: SAME DAY AVAILABILITY! WILL WALK IN ANY WEATHER AND ANY TIME :) With 30+ years of hands-on dog care and experience with over 50+ happy families, I’ve built a reputation for being every pup’s second-best friend (right after you, of course!). From tiny tail-waggers to big cuddle bugs, I offer loving walks, attentive care, and plenty of belly rubs along the way. Pet care is around the clock for my family dogs (4 dogs). I maintain feeding them on separate schedules and quantities due to their size and breed while also letting them out to the yard everyday. They are also walked everyday or ran in the backyard while playing fetch since that is the preference of a few of the dogs. Most of the dogs in our home are my shadow and will hang out in whichever room I am in. I also have dogs that are also independent and spend time alone laying on the back porch or looking out the bay window at the front of the house. I check on my dogs every hour or so as I take breaks from work meetings and calls.
“I had an emergency trip planned and needed a last-minute sitter and Karla came in clutch. Not only did she take care of my dog and two cats. My dog was sick at the time and she helped me so much with her getting her all better. I could not recommend her more and you would be lucky to have her babysit, your precious pups, and cats.”
“Georgia gave us peace of mind as soon as she met my pets I knew we chose well! She treated our babies so well, sent frequent updates and photos and made our having to leave them home a little less painful. The house was also well cared for and we knew our furry friends were well taken care of. I definitely reccommend Georgia! What a great find!”
About: I’m I have over 2 decades of experience loving and caring for dogs since my family got a dog when I was 10. I love to go for long walks around the neighborhood or even a ride in my car to go for an adventure walking in the forest. I’m experienced with feeding routines, bathing, and house sitting. I love fur babies of all sizes and ages and enjoy snuggling and playing and giving them lots of love. I am a preschool teacher with summers off. I have wide open availability during the summer to do walks, check ins, playtime, and house sitting. I am available days, evenings, and overnights. I am hoping to have a regular schedule of walks and care, but I am absolutely available and happy to help for one time or once in a while needs as well. I ensure the safety of all pets in my care at all times. I have many years of experience caring for animals as well as teaching preschool and safety is always my highest priority. I am constantly actively supervising your pet(s) while they are under my care. I always keep dogs leashed unless you have a fenced in area. I will always discuss your pets needs and routines with you ahead of time and be sure to follow those routines to ensure your pet feels safe and well cared for.
About: I absolutely love cats and am obsessed with them. I love doggies too but unfortunately I am allergic to them :( so I am only ever around cats. I have been surrounded by tons of cats since I was a child and have never had a bad experience with cats. I’ve literally never had a cat hiss at me, scratch me, or bite me. I always respect their personal space and their differing personalities. I promise to treat your kitty as my own and care for it in the most extensive way possible! I am a graduate student so I am typically only gone for a few hours a day for classes in the afternoon to early evening. I am always home in the mornings and evenings, and on the weekends too. I rarely ever go out. I’m a couch potato and a huge gamer so I’m always home. I will never leave your kitty lonely! :) I live in a gated community with a secure building as well. The building has a concierge/doorman, and also has closed doors to access the elevator. A key fob is needed to access the elevator to go upstairs to the apartment. My apartment has sliding windows that are secured with nets. I have a ready litter box for your cat to comfortably use and am used to changing litter frequently. I also have canned and dry food on command for me to give to your kitty, but if you have specific food that you would like me to feed your cat I would be more than happy to do so for you! :)
“Meaghan did an amazing job taking care of my two cattle dogs at my home for a week. Both are rescues and one is a flight risk and very leery of new people. Meaghan was amazing with them and kept everyone safe and happy!”
“Sydney did a great job looking after our two dogs while we were away for the weekend. She was communicative and kept us posted on how things were going. Would definitely hire her again!”

“Rich was excellent. My request was very last minute but he responded immediately and was punctual and courteous in our first meeting. In his initial interaction with my dog Faye, she took a linking to him right away and I was very impressed and put at ease by Rich's knowledge and expertise. He consistently gave me updates and photos during his stay, and not for a moment was I worried. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone.”
“Can’t thank Jesse enough for taking care of my 10 year old German Shepard! First time I’m almost four years I was able to get away on a vacation! Would highly recommend Jesse to watch your pet!!!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs and cats over the years both as a nanny and in my personal life between my pets, family pets, pets of my friends, and pets of my friends friends! I work full time so I am open to sitting after 5pm Monday- Friday and completely open on the weekends. Everyone deserves a pup break for date night, etc. I’m your girly! I have a Great Dane and a cat. I care for my pets by keeping them in a routine both with feeding and for my pup getting outdoors for play and to use the restroom. Then of course lots of cuddles!
“Jada was excellent with my dogs. This was my first time using Rover services so I was a bit nervous not knowing what to expect. I set up a meetiNg date prior to hiring Jada. She answered my questions and we both felt like good match . She was respectful, communicative and on time. Sent me photos of the dogs with updates. My dogs really loved her. I would recommend her services and will contact her again.”
“Cannot recommend Katherine enough - she was always in communication about how the pups were and sent us picture updates every day which I very much appreciated! We truly didn’t have to worry about our dogs because we knew they were being taken care of and getting all the cuddles. 🙂”

“Julia is a wonderful pet sitter. She's responsible, reliable, and super caring with animals. I've trusted her with my cats countless times, and she's always exceeded my expectations. She's also house/animal-sat for my family for the past 10+ years, caring for our different dogs and cats, (all with different needs), as well as for many families in our community. We never have to worry when she's in charge because Julia is so trustworthy and competent. Julia's own pets are like family to her, so you know she'll treat yours with the same love and attention. She's a natural with animals, and takes time to ensure that they're happy and comfortable with her. If you're looking for someone who is skilled with animals, as well as smart, squared-away, honest, and all of the other traits described above, Julia is your person.”
