About: I grew up with a male Shih Tzu that I took care of for most of my life! I enjoyed playing with him and taking him on walks. I've also helped my sister raise her female Shih Tzu. I am a student with a very flexible schedule. I have a light class load this semester and a good amount of free time. If your pet requires a specific schedule please let me know ahead of time. I love interacting with dogs and spending time with them. I am very active and have a lot of free time, so playing with them will be no problem for me. I live near Clark Park and the Schuylkill River so I can take active dogs on long walks.

Sue has been absolutely phenomenal with my cat. She not only sent me timely updates and pictures but took extra steps to get her toys, keep her engaged and involved in all daily activities like a great cat parent herself. She put my mind to ease and I felt my cat was in the best hands , in the safest loveliest home with a soulful joyous human that she is. I have found a second home for jelly whenever she needs it and would definitely be availing her wonderful help again.i wish more cats to experience the love Sue gives.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Amazing Dog Sitter! We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with Christina! We had unexpectedly rescued our sweet girl, Gigi, just two weeks before a vacation we had already planned. We found ourselves in a stressful situation, scrambling to find someone we could trust to care for our new rescue, and she turned out to be an absolute blessing! From the moment we entrusted Gigi to her care, we felt reassured. Her home was so cozy, warm, and welcoming, with such a beautiful family atmosphere. Her husband, her two children, and she herself were all so involved, loving and wonderful with Gigi. It was clear that she was not just being watched, but truly welcomed into their home and treated like part of the family. One of our favorite things was receiving all the updates and pictures throughout the week. It gave us so much peace of mind to see Gigi happy, comfortable, and being loved while we were away. Knowing that our newly rescued girl was safe, well cared for, and surrounded by such a loving family meant the world to us. We are beyond grateful that she opened her home and her heart to Gigi, especially knowing that we had only had her for two weeks. Finding someone who genuinely cares about your pet and makes you feel completely comfortable leaving them in their care is priceless. We would absolutely use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and loving dog sitter. She went above and beyond. Gigi was happy, we were happy, and our hearts were at ease the entire week. Thank you for treating our girl like one of your own! ❤️🐾

As always, Brineydi did a great job of keeping our little fur babies well taken care of & us at ease while we were away. 5 stars isn’t enough! After letting us know that he was having a hard time keeping his food down, she made Alejandro a special home cooked meal to help with his stomach. He was back to his usual playful self in no time. So grateful we found her on Rover!

Tania was absolutely wonderful and took the best care of our fur baby!! She was very sweet with him, took him out frequently (which he needs since he’s a big boy), and really made him feel at home. Additionally, she was flexible with us as our travel plans changed. We really appreciated her, and would love for her to watch Leo again!

Ritch watched our boxer mix while we were out of the country for a week. Ritch really knows what he's doing while pet sitting. His professionalism and communication allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our pet. He knew how to make our dog comfortable and safe. We'd definitely bok again!

This was my first time using a border to watch my dog while I was on vacation. And I was very nervous about it. But as soon as I met Lan and saw how she connected with Luna, I was put at ease. Throughout the entire time we were away Lan provided numerous photos and videos of Luna and kept us up-to-date on how she was doing. When she got home, she adjusted very quickly and I could tell that she had enjoyed her time being taken care of by Lan. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She does an amazing job and she truly cares about the pets that she’s taken care of.

I cannot say enough nice things about Natalie.

Thank you so much for caring for Lenny so well and giving me peace of mind when I was out of town.

Denise kept our Duke for just over a week while we were away on vacation. This was my first time using Rover so I was a bit nervous but Denise walked me through the whole process. She told me all about the process as she’s a pro and made time to meet Duke before our trip. While we were on our trip we got CONSTANT updates and immediate responses when reaching out to check on Duke. She paid close attention to his needs and made sure she immediately expressed any concerns she had with him which I very much appreciated. I wholeheartedly feel like my dog was cared for exactly how she cares for her own dog and I will say that is truly invaluable! I know she loved our Duke very much and we will absolutely be booking with Denise in the future. Thank you Denise for taking such good care of my baby!

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in NJ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
