“We use Natalie all the time. Our animals absolutely love her!!!! Our girl Callie, sits by the window and waits when she knows Natalie is coming. Would recommend again and again!”


2. Bianca B.

“Bianca was awesome! She stayed overnight with my two doodles and was very communicative. She even washed the towels she used while she stayed here!!”


3. Sam W.

“Samantha was fantastic with our two large dogs! Rai is blind and Sugar is still a puppy. She managed them both well, was attentive and responsive to our concerns. We will absolutely have her back to stay with them.”


4. Ivel A.
“Ivel’s love for animals can be seen trough the work she does. She is gently, playful and caring with our Golden Retriever. Luna loves Ivel and enjoys walks and bath time with her. Highly recommended her. She has a love for any animals for sure as we also have a bearded dragon and a cat (sadly she passed away of an illness) Ivel looked after them while we were out for a couple of weeks. She is a great pet sitter!”


5. Lucinda S.


“Lucinda was amazing with my doggies. Macho and Lia were very happy and safe. She kept me informed with their every day schedule and send me pictures of my doggies everyday. My home was clean and safe. I will definitely recommend Lucinda . Amazing work! Excellent!”


6. Daniela P.

“Dani is an exceptional Rover associate. We engaged her for a week of overnight sitting, our first time ever having an overnight house sitter in our home. We had Dani take my girls out a few times before our week away for everyone to get to know one another. The week went super smoothly- the perfect amount of communication and photos. Everything was perfect when we returned home - happy dogs, well-watered plants and a cared for home. Thank you to Dani and to Rover for allowing us a week away without worry!”


7. Elizabeth E.

“I entrusted my fur-daughter, Bella to Elizabeth, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Elizabeth was professional, friendly, and clearly cared for animals. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process, and Elizabeth was extremely detail-oriented, asking great questions about Bella’s needs, habits and preferences. She provided so many regular updates, photos and videos that I knew Bella was in great hands. After we got back, the next morning our pup was sniffing around the house with her toy, looking to play with her buddy Elizabeth, that’s when I knew Bella really had bonded! I highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy dog sitter. If you are looking for a responsible adult look no further! I will definitely be booking with Elizabeth again in the future!”


8. Michael S.

“Michael did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs and two cats while we were away for a long weekend trip out of state! He was great with them and kept us updated throughout the day, which we really appreciated. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We would absolutely book with him again in the future!”


9. Jen S.

“Jen has such a positive attitude and took great care of our cats and dog. We received periodic updates and she made sure that Spruce took his meds (which he sometimes resists). Thank you!”


10. Svetlana E.

“Svetlana just spent the weekend with my new cat and I felt so safe leaving him with her. She understood that he was still adjusting to his new home and was so loving and kind to him. She kept me informed about his eating and activities and sent me wonderful pictures of him. She is highly responsible, communicative and a pleasure all around. I trust her completely. Thank you, Svetlana!”


11. Gianna A.

“Gianna was fantastic with our senior pup, Lily. She was happy, healthy, and well fed when we got home. Our house was clean, and everything was in order. Thank you!”


12. Emma A.
“Emma Armenti is one of those rare people who just gets animals—kind, patient, and incredibly attentive. She’s had and loved her own dogs at home and has cared for others’ pets because they’ve witnessed how loving, caring and patient she is even with some of the more difficult dogs that she’s cared for in the past. Emma goes above and beyond, not just making sure pets are safe and happy, but also keeping communication clear and thoughtful. Her warmth, responsibility, and natural love for animals make her someone I’d trust again and again.”


13. Jeanne Marie M.

“Jeanne Marie took great care of our precious pups and our home. Highly recommended.”


14. Kristen J.
“Kristen is a fantastic pet owner and always goes above and beyond! When she watched my dog she stayed in frequent communication and provided updates and pictures. She’s always buying new treats and toys for her own cat, and is clearly willing to prioritize the needs of the animal. Highly recommend!”


15. Emily H.

“Emily watched our 2 dogs for the weekend. The checked in with pictures throughout the weekend and the dogs were healthy and happy when we got home. I would highly recommend and will call again when we have pet sitting needs.”


16. Victoria P.
About: I have a dog of my own that I got in late 2020. He was a rescue so he started out very shy and distrustful, now Frosty is bursting with energy and has fully come out of his shell. I have also pet sat for my grandmother’s dog and friend’s dogs in recent years. An animal’s wellbeing is my highest priority when they are in my care. I take them out every couple hours if they are antsy and am happy to play, cuddle, and give them my attention. Ultimately, I just love to see tails wagging :) My current full time job is front desk at the Madison Hotel. I would need to give two weeks notice to get time off for long periods of pet care. I can fit shorter visits into my existing schedule most days, I work a variety of shifts, but most frequently 7am-3pm, so my afternoons and evenings are usually very open. While my dog Frosty is very gentle with humans, he is not friendly towards other dogs, so I am unable to host animals in my own home. I can take out your pets for frequent walks or keep them entertained inside, whichever you prefer. My only caveat is that I am asthmatic so I have trouble keeping up with a dog that requires a lot of running or walks around a hilly neighborhood.


17. Kate W.
“Kate watched my one and a half year old pup, Bunny, for the weekend. Bunny has a bit of separation anxiety and can get extremely nervous when we leave him. Kate was AMAZING! She was gentle and patient with him, bringing one of her dogs out to greet him to get him comfortable before entering her home. She sent great updates and was very communicative. Bunny had a blast playing with Kate's dogs and came home happily exhausted from a very successful boarding experience. I highly recommend!”


18. Raechel P.
“Raechel’s gift of compassion makes her a great candidate to be a pet caregiver. Her experience as a vet tech has provided her with the skills needed to be reliable as a caregiver and troubleshoot if needed. Any pet would be safe in her hands.”


19. Kayla F.

“Kayla was an awesome dog sitter! You can tell she is a true dog lover. She sent me frequent updates and she is overall a great communicator. I would highly recommend her and I will be using her again in the future!”


20. Nadiya T.
“I have Spaniel. She name is Lili. Nadya is good local dog walker. She's doing it for few month but she is very kind and responsibility. Nadya arrived always on time. Lili is very happy with her.”
