About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and an ICU nurse, so I understand how important staying active and maintaining a healthy lifestyle is—and that goes for our dogs too! Although I don’t currently have a pet of my own, I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, from Dobermans to Yorkshire Terriers. I truly love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m happy to tailor my care to whatever works best for you and your pup. I live in an apartment, but I’m surrounded by parks and great walking areas, so I can take your dog on walks around your neighborhood or to nearby parks for some extra exercise and enrichment. I’m also a great fit for dogs who may not do well around other pets, as I’m happy to give them one-on-one attention in a comfortable environment. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I’ll follow your preferred routine and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I’m also happy to send as many photos and videos as you’d like to keep you updated and give you peace of mind. Please feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d love to meet you and your furry friend! 🐾❤️ I am surrounded by many parks, so taking advantage of the weather and getting my steps in with your dog is one way to make them feel comfortable and making sure their physical needs are met. I am trustworthy and transparent when taking care of pets. I treat them like my own while following any special care they need! I am happy to send updates through photos or videos as well.
“Brian and his family took great care of my dog. She loved playing with his dogs in their big yard, and Brian sent photos and updates throughout. We’ll definitely book with him again!”
“I was very happy with Mac's stay with Laurel. I had shared with her that Mac loves going on walks and she took him for two long walks. She shared with me how he was doing over the course of the day. I would use Laurel again without hesitation.”
“We were thoroughly impressed with this stay for our puppy Tessa. 1st time for our puppy she seemed happy. This was also her 1st time around other dogs as well. Rackeem was very attentive and she seemed comfortable from the door. He sent us videos and pictures and this help me through the time away. I will definitely use Him again very professional.”
About: I have a house where I can provide individual or group care for dogs. I co-own a dog named French Fry, who has been a significant part of my training experience. I am available for boarding on weekends, starting Saturday morning and continuing until either Monday or Tuesday evening. Additionally, I have availability during certain holiday periods. I have a partially fenced-in yard and a metal crate available for dogs if needed. I follow any instructions that pet owners provide. I have a peace and calm environment for dog care.
“Chris was wonderful with my 5 year old French bulldog. I was very hesitant initially to use rover as my dog is very needy and high energy. He would usually go to doggy daycare while we are away to keep him occupied. However, a recent back injury prevented him from going. I hired Chris with very short notice. She took exceptional care of my dog, sent lots of photos and updates while we were away. She even went out of her way to make arrangements to stay an additional day when our flight home was canceled. It was wonderful and reassuring knowing that my dog was getting such great care and attention while we were gone. I would rehire Chris to watch my dog again in a heartbeat!”
“Jessica took great care of my girl Cora. She is super sweet and I could tell Cora made herself right at home. Her kitty was also part of the welcoming committee 😂. She was flexible on drop off/pick up times. I would definitely use Jessica’s services again!”
“Beth was great with Maddy as always! So happy we have found someone we trust to watch our sweet girl, we know she is in good hands when she’s with Beth. This last visit was almost 2 weeks and Maddy needed daily medications for her arthritis and a UTI - Beth religiously made sure Maddy took all her meds every day.”
“Birol did a great job taking care of Addy during my trip. He asked great questions during our meet and greet and left me with no worries that Addy was in good hands. He provided me plenty of updates while I was away. I've already booked my next trip with Birol!”
“Cindy took excellent care of our dog Calvin over the weekend. He was clearly comfortable at Cindy's home from the pictures and communication we received throughout the stay. He came back happy and tired from all of the play and attention. We would gladly use Cindy's services again on future trips and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter.”
“We felt 100% comfortable leaving our 2 furbabies with Elizabeth from the moment of our meet & greet. There was never a question or worry in our minds that the girls would be in extremely capable hands. A HUGE thank you to Elizabeth and family for taking such wonderful care of Buffy & Winnie! The photos of their happy faces were so reassuring! 2 thumbs and 8 paws up!! ❤️🐾”

About: I have a 4-year-old chihuahua-Shiba mix at home. I have good experience with dog of difference sizes and habits. Personally I walk my dog 3 times a day. I would do the same to guarantee they have enough activities every day and stay active. I will be in trolley square area for the whole December including Christmas and New year’s Eve. I would be available anytime through the whole week from Dec 18 to Dec 26. Apart from that, I’m available after 5pm during weekdays and 10am-6pm during weekends. I would make sure I know enough about the pet beforehand and learn their habits. Meanwhile, I’ll walk them at least 3 times a day and provide them enough food (of course treats too)
“Margaret took good care of our dog, Luna, while we were out of town. She was very easy to work with. We also really appreciated her flexibility with the pickup time, which made our travel plans much easier. We felt very comfortable knowing Luna was in good hands.”
“Juliana was truly exceptional. I received thoughtful daily updates with pictures, which made such a difference while I was away. My dog was clearly comfortable, happy, and well looked after. Reliable, caring, and professional— I would absolutely book again.”
About: Waiting for medical school to start next August in the mean time what a better way to do it than taking care of my favorite animals. I'll provide the best care just like I would like someone to treat my dog. I have a miniature schnauzer that I got when she was still a puppy, now she's almost 7 years old and can easily said she's an amazing dog, great company throughout these years and I love her so much. Flexible availability, mostly home. Love the company when watching tv or playing in the backyard. I have one small dog that would love some play time and company. I have a fenced yard and plenty of space for the dogs to run freely and be happy. My dog would also love to have company.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Castle
The fact that Courtney is a vet was one of the reasons I reached out to see if she was able to watch Sunny for a weekend while I was out of town due to how anxious she can get. Let me tell you, she did not disappoint. During the meet and greet, she asked about emergency vet info and offered her office as an option for urgent but non-emergency situations since I don’t have a primary emergency vet. She was aware of Sunny’s needs while she was there. Courtney also kept great communication and sent lots of videos and pics during her stay. I would 10/10 recommend her and will definitely be booking services with her again when the time comes!
