River and Bella were taken care of very well. Laura was able to watch them last min when another sitter had to cancel. Very communicative and sent lots of pictures. Will definitely book again.

About: Friends and family have relied on me to care for their pets for years, from feeding and walking to giving them plenty of love. My own pup, Bella, is social and loves making new friends after spending over a year in daycare. I decided to join Rover to give other pet parents a cozy, caring alternative to daycare when they can’t be with their pups. I’m also experienced with senior dogs and understand the extra patience and gentle care they need. With us, your dog will get attention, playtime, and a cozy place to feel right at home. Ball is life. Around here, fetch, walks, and snuggles are part of every day. I have a fenced-in yard where pups can run and play safely, plus I’m home in the mornings and early afternoons with evening walks to wrap up the day. I also understand the extra attention senior dogs may need and provide care at a pace that keeps them comfortable. Whether it’s playtime or quiet company, I’ll make sure your dog feels right at home. I have a fenced-in yard that’s perfect for safe play and sniff breaks. My dog Bella loves making new friends, so your pup will have a built-in buddy for playtime or cozy naps. With your approval, I’m happy to share treats and plenty of cuddles. Whether your pup is playful or prefers a slower pace (like many senior dogs), I adjust to their needs. If your dog prefers their own space, I can easily crate them so they feel secure and comfortable.

Kimberly walked into a difficult first time situation to manage my brother's pet cat's improperly maintained litter box. My brother is in assisted living,(Florida) and does have cognitive issues. He, by mistake discarded the scooper. Kimberly was in her rights to quit right there. Instead she informed me of the problems and opted to try one more visit. I, (NJ), saw to it to provide items needed. Who could ask for a better second chance. Kimberly is most definitely a caring professional. Hopefully it goes better going forward. I am prepared to at some point look to get Nicholas (the cat), adopted, but for now I thank Kimberly for her great efforts.

About: With a lifetime of dog ownership under my belt, I offer the patient, seasoned perspective of a true "dog person." I have cared for dogs at every stage of life, from energetic adults to those in their golden years who require a gentler touch and extra patience. What sets me apart is my commitment to undivided, one-on-one attention. Because I understand that some pets prefer their own space, I never bring my own dog, Shadow, on visits. This allows me to focus entirely on your pet’s specific needs, whether they are a playful adult who needs a brisk walk or a senior who prefers a slow sniff around the block. I bring the same level of reliability and devotion to your home that I have given my own pets for decades. As a self-employed professional working from home, my schedule is incredibly flexible. This allows me to prioritize your pet's needs throughout the day, whether they require a mid-day stroll, a potty break, or just some company. Unlike a traditional 9-to-5, I can easily shift my tasks to ensure I am available for consistent visits and reliable care, giving your dog the attention they deserve while you are away. provide attentive care exclusively in your home to ensure your pet stays comfortable in their familiar environment. My visits are entirely focused on maintaining your dog's specific routine, whether that involves refreshing water bowls, administering meals, or enjoying quality playtime. I prioritize safety and security at all times, making sure your home is locked up and your pet is happy and settled before I depart. Since I don't host pets in my own home, your dog receives my full, undivided attention during every single visit.

About: I volunteered at Ana’s Angels for 3 years, I walked the dogs, made them look nice and presentable for people wanting to adopt them, I fed them, gave them water, and cleaned up their poop. I will be able to do the same, if not more for your dog or puppy. I am a big animal lover, and would love to help you out! I have school Tuesdays and Thursday and have work for a few hours on Monday and Wednesday’s. I am available to be able to stay over to check-in with the dogs and stay the night there. I will come to your home and take your pet and whatever they may need…if they need a walk, to be let out, fed/water, or even some love. I am very respectful and will follow whatever rules you oblige upon me, and will show your pet so much love and care!

Allison was fantastic and exceeded my expectations. I would certainly have her take care of my two, finicky cats again. Well, aren't they all finicky? She did such a great job communicating with us during our vacation and gave me peace of mind that they were being cared for.

Mary is absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of our dog, Deak, while we were away for a few days. She sent daily photos and an itemized list of his "business", and went above and beyond by keeping up with his daily walking routine and even spent time letting the school kids pet him which he loves! It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and has a superior work ethic. We returned to a happy, relaxed dog. We will be booking her for our next trip and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and reliable pet sitter!

Rosangely was amazing with my pets and I would absolutely book with her again! She was very attentive, caring, and detailed throughout the entire stay. She followed all of my instructions carefully and really went above and beyond to make sure my pets were comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. I especially appreciated how detailed her Rover cards were because they gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I always felt updated and reassured that my pets were safe and in good hands. You can genuinely tell Rosangely truly cares about the animals she watches, and I’m so grateful for all the effort she put in! Will definitely be booking again, best rover ever!

Alena did a fabulous job with my 5 cats. They’re high maintenace when it comes to various Rx diets, daily medication and an inhaler. Alena handled it like a champ. Super thorough, daily detailed progress notes, great communication and adorable pictures of kitties and tasks handled each day. So lucky to have found you! I can tell my home and kitties were well taken care of and I can’t wait to have you care for them again. Bravo!! 👏🏻

Cassandra was great! My pups can be hyper when meeting new people, and one sometimes has anxiety, but Cassandra was understanding and calm when dealing with them. She took the time to ask great questions to learn about our pups and their wants and needs, as well as getting to know us and our preferences. We look forward to working with her again.

Kyndal was simply AWESOME. She clearly has a passion for dogs and a caring, nurturing nature. She kept us thoroughly informed of our dog’s behavior/activities following each visit along with pics. And our pup adored her. It gave us peace of mind while we were out of town. Highly recommend and we will DEFINITELY use her services again.

About: I've had pets, including dogs, since childhood. My friends trust me with their doggies, of various breeds/ ages, and they refer me to others often. I work from home (remote), but will sometimes be out during the evening for a few hours. I am attentive! I can take your dog out for exercise & potty breaks. I am willing to work with your schedule! Lots of love & petting! Can be on the couch with me. Frequent walks if desired. Can visit dog parks. Good with feeding schedules. Bedding is helpful (and crate if necessary).

Farrah was outstanding, I cannot recommend her enough. From the beginning she was friendly, professional, responsive, and flexible. She did great with my two cats and was even able to get my shy one out of his shell. She provided me daily photos and a report of how they did. Farrah will go above and beyond on everything that she does. A perfect example was the hand-drawn portraits of my cats she left for me on the last day (farrahfisherart.com; check her out!). Will be booking again.
