“Megan has taken incredible care for Elie while I was away. She is very communicative and she follows our instructions perfectly. Our mini schnauzer appears to really like her time with Megan and I highly recommend using her.”
“Elena watched my 15 week old puppy, Saylor, while I was home for a family emergency on Staten Island. She visited Saylor for several walks throughout two days. Elena was extremely trustworthy, always on time (if not early) and entirely engaged with Saylor for the full visit! I highly recommend Elena for any pet help you may need!”
“Emily is amazingly kind and compassionate. She took the best care of my doggo and made me feel at ease with updates and offers to accommodate Brownies needs with each visit. I will absolutely be contacting her in the future :)”
“We just had Michelle watch our dog Charlie over spring break. I was super nervous because Charlie is so old, but her time with him put me completely at ease. She was prompt, professional, and gave frequent updates/photos. She also went above and beyond with things she didn’t need to do like grabbing packages and making sure other miscellaneous things were taken care of during her visits. It always causes my husband and I anxiety trying to find pet care when away, but Michelle really brought us some relief. Our family will be using her again and recommend her for your pet!”
“Day 1 leaving our puppy home by herself was such an easy good day because of Durell. 🥰 She’s timely,‘communicative, loving, and very helpful/does anything I suggest or ask of her. Will keep using Durell & Michael again and again for our pup, Scoobie… She loves Durell, as well!”
“Huilin took excellent care of our ferrets while we were away on a 3-week vacation. She closely followed all our instructions and sent us daily photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind. She's caring, reliable, and was very flexible when we had an unexpected schedule change. We highly recommend her.”
“Jennifer was a fantastic dog walker & carer for our pup who stayed home while we went away. She was open to meeting with us prior, to form a bond with our anxious dog, who warmed up to her instantly! For once, we felt at ease travelling without Kobe. Jennifer also administered his medication everyday with no hiccups and stayed in contact with us daily, which made us feel very reassured. Not only would I recommend her services — we look forward to Jennifer watching Kobe again in the future. If I could give 10 stars I would! ??”
“Tara was amazing! She did a great job taking care of my cat Jax and I can tell by the photos he loved her visits. She fed him 2x a day and cleaned his litter, bowls and the surrounding areas. She even took in my mail/packages! Jax was well taken care of and I truly enjoyed receiving photos of him during Tara's drop-ins. I'm so happy I took the recommendation to use Rover and found someone so trustworthy and caring towards my boy!”

“Caty provided excellent care for my senior dogs during her overnight stay. Knowing my boys were not alone and well taken care of eased my mind.

About: Been rescuing forever fur babies since 2011. We are PAWrents to our own 2 pups and cats and they are our joy, priority and children. We have invested in dog therapy and a library of dog and cat books and now even have a friend who has a PHD is dog science and her own books. It’s definitely a lifestyle. I am a full time stay at home pawrent while my wonderful fur baby daddy husband works from home full time. I already babysit my neighbors furbabies when they go on trips and have learned each pawrent has their own specific way of communicating and taking care of their babies so my aim is to always mimic the owners as much as possible to ensure less stressful and more enriching Interactions. I have learned from watching way too many house of dogs and cat in slow motion that the smell first and foremost, work with micro movements and within micro seconds so they truly experience the world quite differently then hoomans do. As an empath I successfully create a bridge of mutual respect, unconditional love and a lot of winking and tail wags. I am trained in verbal and body language and absolutely love being walked by my dogs. I believe in sniffing, exploring, marking and “pee mail” and most importantly I am a huge advocate for positive reinforcement and patience for all our furbabies. Open schedule for I’m a full time stay at home pawrent for our 2 pups and cats and am looking to start working solely with Rover to get back into making some money for my expensive dog and cat food. We have 2 floors, a balcony and a lot of sunny space for naps, cuddles, play time and sensored stainless steel fresh filter water bowls we also have a xxl crate and 4 dog doors and a whole lot of dog/cats treats.

Mandi J.
“She is a wonderful compassionate human being and truly treats animals like equals. Her pups and kitties are her children and every animal I’ve seen her met is drawn to her and always says I love you to them and means it. She also has pup nieces and “nephMEWS” her words not line. She is a unapologetic dog/cat Momma bear. lol Also. She goes out of her way to report on their bowels movements if you want that extra detail/health report. She seems to know if they are thirsty and eating good enough and if they need “fiber” it’s quite amazing seeing her in action. This is her calling. Lol”

Bryce C.
“I am Bryce’s mother and ever since he was a little boy he would save any animal, whether it be a cat on a window ledge or a butterfly on the floor that can’t fly. He was raised with 2 cats and a dog basically his whole life. Our cats lived until they were both about 21, and our dog is 11. No one took it harder than Bryce when we lost our pets. Now as a grown man Bryce shares a dog with his girlfriend and they are best friends. I can’t think of anyone better to help with other people’s pets.”

Michelle agreed to pets it for me with a little notice. I was nervous because I’ve only had one pet sitter before and she’s been with my animals for a while now. However, Michelle and her attention to detail completely blew me away. She was so communicative, sent so many pictures, and before and Afters of the litter boxes, and the food. I felt completely at ease and when I got home, she had even cleaned up after my pets, so I came home to a tidy apartment. I am so thankful for finding her and now she will always be my first choice for pet sitting!! Thank you, Michelle, You are the best.
Nermina was super kind and thoughtful when taking care of our cat. She was the first person to make a real connection with him! We also really appreciated that she stayed for the full 30 minute visit - something others don’t typically do. Would definitely book again if our schedules line up in the future.
Heather is an absolute life saver! Heather was able to care for my furry friend last minute and delivered professionalism, as well as comfort to my pal when I was not able to tend to him. My dog is so pleased with Heather and she is trusted in my home when I'm not around for Simba. I have rebooked with Heather and would recommend her to anyone and everyone! What a great Rover partner; thanks again!
Jose is an excellent cat sitter. I have three cats, and he was incredibly friendly with all of them. He communicates frequently and keeps you informed of any issues. Additionally, he ensures your home stays clean and just as you left it. I highly recommend his services!
Day 1 leaving our puppy home by herself was such an easy good day because of Durell. 🥰 She’s timely,‘communicative, loving, and very helpful/does anything I suggest or ask of her. Will keep using Durell & Michael again and again for our pup, Scoobie… She loves Durell, as well!
Zachary was an awesome cat sitter. He even got my persnickity princess to accept treats and pets from him. (And she's very selective about who is allowed to pet her.) He is kind, caring and communicative. I absolutely plan to use Zachary again when I need someone to watch my girl.
