“Lena was happy to see us and not desperate and angry. A tribute to Erin giving her not just the care she needs, but the companionship too while we're gone. We're so grateful for that. Erin goes above and beyond, making sure to take care of the trash and recycling, and leaving the house clean. We're so grateful for her care.”
“Alina’s been taking care of my dog Joba while I’m at work. He loves his walks with her and I feel very comfortable leaving her to tend to him when I’m not home. Alina responds promptly and is very accommodating. She arrives on time and gives a great update on her walk with Joba. I highly recommend Alina for Rover services!”
“If I could give Bonnie 10 stars, I would. As the proud mom of an 18-year-old cat, I’m always a little nervous about leaving him for more than a few days at a time, but Bonnie completely put my mind at ease with great photos and frequent updates. She took great care of – and even spent extra time with – my guy, and it made my vacation even that much better. I’ll absolutely be booking her services again.”
“Jupiter has been amazing! Often times, we would have to add or cancel day sitting sessions and Jupiter never had any problems with the change. Only reason we are leaving is because we were moving, otherwise we would keep Jupiter for our dogs entire life!”
“Elisangela was great with watching my two cats while I was away on vacation. She dropped in on the dates and times as discussed, sent plenty of updates and pictures. Would highly recommend!”
“Absolutely amazing 🤩 thank you so much for watching Myles and Fyodor while we were away. To name a few things we loved - the toys you shared to keep our kitties entertained,your attire, attitude, communication and pictures! :))”
“Katy is a true professional with a clear love for what she does and the animals she cares for! Our pup is a gentle giant who is nervous at baseline, and it took her no time at all to warm up to Katy. Her ability to learn the ins and outs of our Bailey in such a short time was remarkable, and we highly recommend her services to anyone who is hesitant to leave their dog in anyone else’s care!”
“Max was great with my two French bulldogs. He was on time, responsible, and sent pics/update after the visits. Would def use his services again and would recommend to anyone who needs care for their dogs!”
“Sabine was great. She took care of my big girl Maine Coon Suka. She was professional and you could tell she loves animals and that she new how to interact with cats. Suka came up to her and let her pet her on the meet and greet. I would hire Sabine again.”
“Thank you, Jolene, for checking in on my two cats over a holiday weekend with a last minute booking! Jolene’s communication and timing was excellent. While checking on the cats, she filled their bowls, gave them treats, and brushed them. I appreciated her time and attention!”
“Thu was great! Meatball is normally scared of new people but she was very comfortable with Thu. She was also very communicative. I will definitely ask Thu to watch Meatball again!”
“Susie was great with my Maine Coon Suka. She was professional and communicative. Suka is not used to meeting new people and can be an intimidating large cat, but Susie knew to give Suka her space and wait for when she’s ready. Suka warmed up to her and was side swiping her and rubbing against her. I’d hire Susie again.”
About: I’m Arnav, a dedicated and experienced dog sitter with a special love for small dogs and senior pups. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and temperaments, and I understand how important it is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment when you're away. I have plenty of hands-on experience, including administering medications, handling special diets, and giving gentle care to elderly dogs who may need a slower pace and extra attention. I take dogs on walks twice a day and have a secure yard where they can stretch their legs, play, or simply relax in the fresh air. I’m available day and night on weekdays, weekends, and holidays, based on my calendar availability. Plus, your pup will never be alone—my parents and I work as a team, so there’s always someone home to keep a watchful and caring eye on them. I truly treat every dog like family, and I’d love the chance to care for yours! I’m available all day and night on weekdays and all weekends and holidays as per my calendar setting. In addition, other than me, there is always someone at home to supervise your pet. I have a big yard and easy access to bike path for safe walking and playing. If the weather is not good. I still play with the pet indoors.
“Xinrui has been absolutely amazing for drop-in visits for my dog! My dog is a senior with a serious health condition, and she was so accommodating to his pills and feeding schedule. Her updates are timely, I get great pictures and videos, and she is extremely reliable! I will definitely be using Xinrui in the future!”
About: I have grown up with a dog and a cat my entire life, and have helped through the training puppy-stages into their senior years. My family recently got a puppy (corgi - named Bentley!) and I have enjoyed helping to train him and acclimate during all the stages of puppyhood. I am home for the summer as a student at Lehigh University, and I would love to help take good care of your pet(s)! I am a waitress so my schedule is subject to change but I have plenty of spare time to offer any help needed. Your pet’s safety and well being is my top priority. I am happy to follow any instructions for how you best want your pet to be taken care of.
About: Hi. I have many years of experience taking care of my own dog as well as clients’ dogs, and giving them medication. I have enjoyed teaching my dog tricks and good behavior. I would love to take care of your friendly dogs and take them out for walks. I am also a cat lover and can provide affection for them and feed them. I will go above and beyond to make your pets feel safe and comfortable. Whatever special needs they have, I can take care of them and provide for them. I am not currently available to take care of pets in my own home overnight because I have two cats, but I have a closed in backyard if they need to be dropped off for a couple hours of the day. I am a stay at home mother, which gives me flexibility to be a dog walker during school hours from 9:30AM to 3:00PM on week days. I can come to your house for drop-in visits or longer periods of time if your pet needs companionship and basic care. I love spending time with animals.
