“Jenn and Brian were able to watch our dog for 5 days while we were away. We received lots of pictures/updates throughout that time and it was clear that our pup was having a great time and was very happy! Highly recommend!”
“Love, love, love Erika and Huxley! We were a bit nervous to leave our 12 week old, high energy Great Dane pup with a sitter for vacation. From minute one of booking, we knew Erika would be awesome. We did a meet n greet first to ensure the dogs were a good fit. We received daily updates with photo’s of our pup with her new friend Huxley. I think our pups are going to be life long friends! We won’t be using anyone else from this point on!”
“This is my first time using rover or boarding my dog overnight and Melissa was amazing! She responds promptly to messages sent me multiple pictures and updates throughout the day! Cleo is a hyperactive dog in general and I was nervous but Melissa provided amazing service she even bathed her I am so grateful definitely rebooking her!”
“I can’t begin to tell you how wonderful it was to have Bev. She was watching my dog during this last snow event and not only did she reassure me because I couldn’t get back in time (plane cancelled) that she would gladly keep her as long as needed she went to the store and bought more of her dog food as I didn’t send enough. I couldn’t ask for anything more. It certainly made me feel great that my dogs care was one less thing I had to worry about. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars.”
“Michelle did a great Job watching Sadie Mae! Was sent pictures consistently and updated. She took her for a walk/jog even in the cold weather. Will be using her for future boardings.”
“Madeline was great with our boys! One of our dogs is very shy and he warmed up to her right away. We felt super comfortable leaving them with her. She sent lots of photo updates and it seemed like our boys had the best time with her! Would definitely have her watch our dogs again.”
“Denae & Mark provided a second home for my dog, who emerged from their care happier and healthier than when he started. They stayed in regular contact to ease my mind, and I highly trust their capabilities in caring for canines.”
“Kimberly was very easy to communicate with starting with the meet and greet and throughout my two boys’ stay with her. I always get nervous about leaving my dogs but I was very comfortable leaving them in her care. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a loving sitter for their pet(s)!”
“At first I was skeptical about using Rover to find someone to care for my German Shepherd that I just adopted and because of moving reasons I needed a place for him to be until my place was ready. I came across Jin, and she was immediately available, and I couldn't be more lucky to have found such an amazing human been, she took care of my Tony so good, with constant pictures and follow ups about his activities. I will only use her services to care for my dog. She us the best. Thank you so much for taking care my big baby tony.??”
About: Hi, I’m Amy — your pet’s new favorite auntie! 🐾 Since growing up with big dogs, small dogs, and cats - I have been a lifelong animal lover living vicariously through pet sitting for friends. I’ve always been the one that friends, roommates, and coworkers call when they need someone they can trust with their pets—and now I’m here for you too. Whether your furry family member is a playful pup, a chill cat, or a quirky critter, I’ll care for them like they’re my own. I live an active lifestyle and love long walks, playtime, and cozy cuddle sessions. I’m happy to care for pets with all kinds of personalities—high-energy dogs, shy cats, and everything in between. Whether it’s boarding at my place or house sitting at yours, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I know how much your pet means to you, and I’ll always follow your care routines, send regular updates, and create a stress-free experience for both of you. I currently work from home on Fridays and am available on weekends for daytime or overnight dog sitting in my home (small and medium size dogs) or house sitting/drop in visits/walks for any pets between Friday 1 pm and Sunday 8 pm. Your home or mine, I love to be active or cuddle - whatever your pet’s personality is! My backyard is not fenced in, but does have a nice space for potty breaks. I am close by Delaware park for long walks. I don’t mind if pups use a crate or roam the house - whatever you prefer, but in my home I will ask that your pet is house trained.
“Jillian was so awesome to work with! She was easy to communicate with and was flexible with making plans for our last minute booking. She treated our cat like a king and sent video/picture updates the whole time we were gone! I will only be using Jillian for all my cat’s sitting boarding needs in the future.”
“Allyn was a wonderful sitter and extremely patient and flexible, with several things I had going on at the time we booked!! I was all over the place, due to several personal matters and mishaps, and Allyn remained friendly, open, and accommodating throughout, which I REALLY appreciated. She also handled my Sienna with wonderful tender, love, and care, providing updates and pics and even applying my optional tip to play jazz music for her while Allyn was away!! I highly recommend Allyn and would book with her again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Allyn!! <3”
About: I have taken care of my own family dogs and cats for my whole childhood and adulthood life. I have been given the experience of watching my neighbors and friends' pets. It has ranged from hamsters to dogs. I also have experience with training and watching after puppies. I work full-time as a teacher so am home by midafternoon. I take a mile walk before I leave for work and when I get back, so your pet will receive adequate exercise and stimulation. I have a dog to keep your furry friend company! He is very calm and loves other animals. I have space if your animal needs separation or to be crated for any reason.
