“Marie was amazing with our needy , energetic frenchie! You can tell she cares deeply for animals. She asked all the right questions, making sure she understood our dog's needs and routine. She checked in often and kept us updated, which we really appreciated. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does. We highly recommend her!”
“Dahn stayed at our house with our pups while we were out of town for 2 nights. We felt very comfortable with Dahn here and everything was exactly how we left it. More importantly she took great care of our dogs and sent constant updates and pictures. Our Marley gets scared when it’s storms and there was a storm while we were gone. Dahn gave her extra love and made sure she felt safe! We will definitely use Dahn again and would highly recommend her”

“I was so impressed with Heather. She did a great job with my two furbabies (two small dogs). I was so nervous to leave them, but she took excellent care of them. She was commmunicative and responsive the entire stay. My younger dog can struggle to warm up to new people, but she was incredible with him- he clearly liked her a lot. Heather was also flexible about changing the booking dates around so that I could spend more time with my dying parent. It meant the world to me to be able to spend an extra day at home. She also kept the apartment clean and tidy and even washed the sheets for me. I was so grateful and appreciative for Heather’s help with my dogs while I was away. Would definitely use her again for future pet sitting needs!”

We had a meetup with her so we could show have her meet our two dogs and she asked many questions about what the dogs needs were and liked, dislikes etc. while we were on our vacation, she updated us daily with pictures and and what the dogs were doing that day etc. It was very comforting to see photos of my dog, snuggling with her and enjoying their walks. When we returned home, our house was immaculate! Nothing out of place and everything clean as a whistle. I can’t say enough positive things about Nancy. Try her you’ll love her!”

I would highly recommend Olivia to anyone!”

Long Wharf pet parents share their Rover experiences
I can honestly say that Max is the best pet sitter I’ve had yet! They were able to accommodate the sit on a bit of short notice, not to mention some unexpected medical needs for my dog. I almost didn’t go on my trip because my dog woke up with an eye infection that required medicine the morning I was supposed to leave. Max’s confidence to give her medicine put me at ease so I could still go. They kept me updated on how my pets were doing throughout my trip and gave them all the love/care they needed. Would absolutely book again and recommend to others.
Marie was more than I could ask for. I have never used this service before never mind leaving my fur baby with a stranger. Marie went above and beyond. She communicated with me daily and sent lots of pictures. She watered my plants, took the trash out on garbage day and fed our new Beta fish. I will definitely want to work with Marie in the future. I recommend Marie 10/10.
ABOVE AND BEYOND!!! Heather and Chris are AMAZING!!!!!!!! Not only are they extremely sweet, they are professional. Heather is very responsive and will answer any text or call in a heartbeat. She followed all my directions I left and gave my babies amazing care. My little ones are all tuckered out now, which is usually impossible. You can tell this is a passion of hers. She and Chris are so personable and so kind. They stayed at my house to watch my two dogs and they were respectful and cleaned things they didn’t even need to clean. 10/10 recommend.
Jen just spent the past week in our home with our puppy. We’ve used Jen in the past and we already have her booked for several additional dates. She is 100% our go-to for house sitting and puppy care. We highly recommend her. Our puppy is always happy and very well cared for, and Jen takes excellent care of our home, leaving it spotless upon our return.
Davonna is AWESOME! She is communicative, punctual, friendly, and trustworthy. My gang enjoyed their weekend with her and she put my mind at ease. I’ve been using Rover for years and I never feel any less anxious when I have to find a housesitter but I will definitely book Davonna again!
Janalie is the best dog sitter around. She gave so much love and attention to our Labrador retriever and has amazing energy from the moment she met the dog. She kept us up to date and sent photos throughout her stay. Our doggo was in good spirits when we got home!
Teddy was absolutely amazing with our kitty! We had just moved to the area and had a graduation to attend over the weekend and were nervous about having to leave our cat after such a big move. Teddy was very kind and easy to communicate with and made sure that our cat was well cared for with play time, treats, and company while we were gone. They were also great at sending us picture updates during their stay. We would absolutely book again!
Melanie house and dog sat for our dog Luna for a few days while we traveled out of state. This was our first experience with Melanie other than a few daily walks and we were extremely happy with the care and communication. We received daily updates and pictures and Luna seemed happy and engaged every day with walks and playtime. Everything looked great upon our return. Melanie was responsive when I messaged her. We will definitely have Melanie watch Luna again and give her 5 stars! Thank you.
