“Tracey and her family saved the day. I had a previous meet and greet with another rover and it didn't go well. I found Tracey and she took us in last minute and gave me updates and I felt very safe leaving my dog with her. Thank you so much!”


2. Nichole S.

“Truffles had the best spa-like experience in Nichole's care! Play, rest, care, he got it all. Her puppies were also able to play well with Truffles, and helped wear him out, for a good night's sleep. Definitely recommend, and thank you for taking such great care of Truffles.”

“We were met promptly by Kalea at designated location. My dog was very comfortable with Kalea and leaving her for the day was so easy.”


6. Cassidy & Cody R.

“It was a pleasure to have our whippet puppy Fern cared for by Cassidy and Cody while on vacation in Cape May. Cassidy and Cody were so laid back, relaxed and flexible when it came times and days we needed care for Fern. Fern was nervous at first meeting and staying with new friends Gus, (their dog) and their 2 children, but she was wagging her tail and so excited to go back to their house the following day! Fern got extra walks, and even went to the beach with them! We felt very comfortable leaving our baby In their care! I also appreciated getting text and picture updates of how Fern was doing throughout the day. I would definitely reach out to Cody and Cassidy again for dog sitting when we are in the area.”

About: As a pet caregiver, Ive consistently focused on providing a safe, comfortable, and fun environment for the animals in my care. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique needs, whether it’s providing daily walks, playtime, or special attention to their diet and health requirements. I maintain open communication with pet owners, sending regular updates and photos, which allow them to stay connected and reassured while they were away. My goal is always to make both the pet and the owner feel happy and at ease with the care provided. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine because it’s all about consistency and ensuring the pets are happy and healthy. My time will always revolve around your pet while in my care. I ensure that my home is pet-friendly, with designated spaces for pets to feel secure, such as a fenced area play. I always make certain they have access to fresh water and appropriate food.


10. Lily P.

“Will use again! Lily and her 2 beautiful pups were very nice and accommodating. Lily was very flexible working with me, and our dogs got along well and even got some energy out of my dog. Her home is clean and welcoming for pets and even has a backyard. Thank you again.”


11. Lovina A.

“Lovina & Jerry were awesome! So easy to communicate with, very responsible & timely. I had no doubt Luna would be well cared for. I received Luna back as a calm & happy pup. Highly recommend!”


12. Kelly H.

“Cruzer only stayed with Kelly for about 4 hours so it is hard to review her. This is my first experience with someone watching over him. Maybe I need to experience others to get a better idea what I want in a sitter.”


13. Amy A.


“Fiji had a great time staying with Amy! Clearly Amy did a great job because Fiji warmed up to her quickly. She sent me lots of photos throughout the day. Thank you!”


14. Tee G.
“When Tee G. set with my girl perla that was diagnosed with late stages of stomach cancer. Because I was working in health care during Covid. Tee would do FaceTime video so I was able to see perla and provide comfort for her and me. Tee was always positive and caring. She was always very customer service friendly.”


15. Selena S.

“Selena was a great daycare host for my dog. Mr Pickles came home happy and relaxed and I will definitely book again. Selena was easy to communicate with, is knowledgeable about dogs and is a great sitter.”


16. Winton F.

“Winton was flexible when we were in urgent need for a sitter last minute. We felt that he kept our pup safe and satisfied while we were away. He was communicative and friendly!”


17. Luis T.

“I can not say enough great things about Luis and Christine!! They truly love animals and could not have provided a more welcoming and loving environment for my dog. Christine baked homemade,nutritional treats specific for my dog :) Luis and Christine not only took my pup on several walks throughout the day, but took her on adventures throughout the island! They really are not your average sitter, but so much more! I hope to book again as they really are amazing people.”


18. Amanda O.
“I cannot recommend Amanda enough! She took care of my two dogs and went above and beyond to ensure they were happy, healthy, and well-loved. From the start, I could tell she genuinely cared about them, giving them so much love and attention. She kept them active, engaged, and made sure they were always comfortable. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such great hands. If you’re looking for a responsible and compassionate pet sitter, Amanda is the best choice! I will absolutely trust her with my pets again.”


19. Ashley C.

“Ashley took great care of our dog and provided good updates throughout the time. We were worried using Rover for the first time because our dog is anxious and takes time to warm up to people, but we really appreciate Ashley taking care of our dog and making him comfortable!”
