“Savana was great with our pups, giving them all the attention they needed and then some! We didn’t have to worry. They were in their home and loved for 9 days and we appreciate all she did! Looking forward to next time! 💕”
“Amazing job! This was my first time having a dog sitter and I was a bit nervous and unsure. The meet and greet was smooth, and kind of an information dump on the sitter. Durning the stay, plenty of updates and pictures. Upon return, my dog (who is high energy) was tired, calm and ready for bed. Which is perfect for me since I was too!”

About: I've been caring for pets since I was a child, dog sitting and watching over other types of pets for my family since middle school. I am an approved veterinary assistant with over 5 years of professional experience. I am able to care for pets with medical issues and administer prescription medication when necessary. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, most small animals such as ferrets, hamsters, guinea pigs, and most reptiles. I am a stay at home mom and am available during the weekdays for drop in visits, walks, and boarding. I'm available for overnight stays at your house mainly on weekends only, but I can board overnight on weekends and weekdays. I can board dogs and small animals in my house. I have crates and pens for crate trained dogs. If you need someone to stay in your home to watch your furbabies, I also offer that availability. I have two lovebug dogs that will make your dog feel at ease. We have a large yard that is unfenced.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets my entire life, and my family and friends look to me if they need me to dog sit (or pet sit) when they’re away or unavailable. I love animals, and so getting to take care of furry friends is an absolute treat!! I’m currently attending college, so monday and wednesday mornings im out of the house from 8-12. any other time, if given enough notice, i can be available for you and your pets! I live in a family home with my dog daisy, who is very friendly and about 14 years old now. She never fails to be entertained, and I love her with all my heart. I will do the same for your pets :)
“Nicole was excellent from start to finish. She was prompt, communicative, and caring for our pets and home. She sent us a ton of photos and left the house in a pristine condition. I would absolutely recommend her for all of your pet and house sitting needs.”


“Emma has been great with Augie. We’ve had her for walks and housesitting. She keeps him very entertained and very happy and we get lots of fun pictures! She treats him like he’s her own 😊”

“This is my first time using Rover. Vicki came for a Meet & Greet . She was lovely and confident. I booked an overnight just to be sure it was a good fit as I’m leaving out of country for 11 days. Vicky was great with my dogs who are older and one is anxious and pretty blind. They also require heart meds and some assistance. I would recommend her, she communicated very well. My house was just as I left it which I appreciate. I’m pleased to find someone I feel comfortable leaving my pups with 🙌”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years, including walking, feeding, bathing, and providing daily care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I have 3 dogs and a cat of my own! Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to keep their pets safe and comfortable while they are at work or away. As a nursing student, I am very attentive, patient, and detail-oriented. I am comfortable following specific routines, administering basic medications if needed, and caring for both energetic puppies and senior dogs. Safety and consistency are always my top priority. I am available for recurring daytime walks, drop ins, or pet sitting in Orange and Rockland County, NY. Throughout the fall and Spring time I am enrolled in an evening Nursing program in Bergen County NJ, and can also make accommodations there! When caring for pets, safety and trust are my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, leash instructions, and any special care requests provided by the owner. I always ensure collars and harnesses are secure before walks and remain attentive at all times. As a nursing student, I am trained to stay calm, observant, and proactive in any situation. I provide photo updates after walks and communicate clearly so owners feel confident their pets are in safe care!
“My two Jack Russell’s had a great time with Shannon while she did a 5 day house sit with them. Shannon regularly kept us up to date on their wellbeing with pictures and texts. She also was able to help us out for an extra day when our flight was delayed returning home and ensured the dogs were still taken care of while we were delayed getting home. The house looked great when we got back and we had two happy pups. Thanks again Shannon!”

“Madelyn took care of my 14-year old Siberian Husky, Kodiak, who has arthritis. She house-sat him while we were away on vacation for 12 days. She was wonderful with him, taking him on frequent short walks during the day. When we got home, we found a very neat house and a very happy (and tired!) dog. I would absolutely hire her again.”

“Michael is a wonderful dog sitter! He stayed at our home for 3 nights, and took great care of our 3 pups. We received multiple updates with photos daily. We will absolutely ask Michael to dog sit for us again.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for my family and friends in the past, and they have all been very pleased with me! I do not have a dog, but I know the essentials of taking care of them, and I will do everything and anything to make them happy :) I am currently not working, so I am available any time of day, including weekends, to make sure your fur babies are loved and cared for! As I mentioned, I do not have a dog, but my cat is well cared for, and I would do anything to ensure his health and safety, which would be my top priority for your fur babies as well!

About: Our pets are more than just companions. They are family, this makes them so much more precious. Which is why with me I can guarantee that I will do my best to provide the love and care your pet deserves. I have cared for dogs young and old, big and small, calm and energetic, you name it. I have experience feeding, cleaning after them as well as themselves, and giving medications with specific instruction. I am available all night on Monday into the evening on Tuesdays. As well as in the evening on Fridays up until the evening on Sunday. Other days of the week are very negotiable to what you may need! I personally love to encourage as much activity as possible with my dogs to ensure they get healthy amounts of play time. This in turn allows them to get ample rest when they are tired from activity further encouraging a healthy lifestyle for my furry kiddos.
“I had Ivy stay with my girl Cassie for 3 nights. She did a great job! Cassie and I loved her on our meet and greet. She was very respectful of my home as well. She took the time to write down all feeding and medication times because she knew how important it was to give her medication every 12 hours. I would definitely recommend her to care for your pets. I get nervous leaving Cassie when I have to travel for work, but Ivy staying with her definitely put my mind at ease. I will be using her again for my next trip in a few weeks!”

“Teadie did a great job with my two - she was communicative, reachable, and professional. Her 6 day stay with my two went really great! I really appreciated her and will re-book again!”

About: I have a dog and 2 cats of my own! I have been volunteering at Father Johns Animal House for a little over 3 years now dealing with all sorts of cats and dogs. I am a 20 year old professional dog groomer. I am currently working part-time while regularly going to school. I like to take care of pets whenever I have the free time!

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 10! I have experience with all different breeds, I even have 5 dogs of my own! All breeds are welcome 🤗 I am currently a fully online student and I control my own schedule. My calender is open for whatever days you need! Please feel free to reach out with any questions! 😊 I will not be able to pet sit in my own home, since I have so many animals. However, I am more than happy to care for your pet in your own home, going on walks, bathing, etc.
“My wife and I have used Rover and outside companies to watch our dogs but nobody compares the quality and attention the Beth gives. She goes above and beyond more then any other person we have ever used. Our dogs were in such great hands that there was nothing for us to worry about. If anybody is wondering if they should choose Beth it is a resounding yes! We will be asking Beth for all of our future needs.”
