“Brigid was perfect for my older dog Scout. She is very loving and attentive. Scout seemed very content with Brigid, who kept me updated with photos and videos. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter for Scout.”


“Maegan was great! She responded quickly each time I contacted her. Maegan's house and yard are well set up for a visiting dog. She is relaxed and calm and well-prepared. Drop-off and pick-up were very easy. My little dog seemed comfortable in Maegan's house. I was given an update and a picture of my dog while I was away. I would happily choose Maegan as a sitter again.”


“Jayla was so great! She was incredibly responsive and provided helpful updates. I felt so comfortable leaving our pet with her. You could tell she really treated our dog like he was a part of her family. We will definitely be rebooking with Jayla in the future. Highly recommend!”


“Emily one again took awesome care of my dog! He had another great time with her, and her updates gave me total peace of mind that my dog was very well cared for. She’s also very responsive and great to communicate with. Thanks Emily!!”


“Lori was so great!! Stella had the best time there and was well taken care of. She didn’t even want to get into the car when we were leaving ? Reese is such a sweet dog and Stella loved him! She likes to be around other dogs so Lori’s yard for them to meet and run around in was great! We will definitely be rebooking!”



“Nia was so amazing! Communicated well and was very accommodating. She sent lots of videos and photos. And I can tell my pup enjoyed herself. I will definitely book her again!”


“Cheryle took great care of my little dog Charlie for one week in her home. He seems to have had a great time with her and her small dog. I would definitely ask her to care for Charlie again and would recommend her highly!”


About: Friends and family members have trusted me to care for their furry loved ones for as long as I can remember. Our furry friends deserve just as much love and care as we do. I work from home three days out of the week, so I am able to care for pets during the day. I am also incredibly available throughout the weekends and each weeknight. I maintain a consistent daily routine for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime to keep pets feeling secure and comfortable. I keep clients updated with photos and updates on their pets' well-being, so they can feel confident that their furry friend is in good hands. I create a pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for pets to roam, play, and relax. I ensure all areas are pet-proofed and free from hazards. Pets receive lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I offer enrichment activities like toys and outdoor walks.

“Extremely good pet sitter. My elderly dog stayed over thanksgiving break and I got frequent updates/pictures. Very intuitive about my dog’s wants/needs. You would struggle finding a better person to take care of your animals, especially if you have a dog with a big personality.”


“Thanks to Serhii and Olesia they made a great job. I left my dog Morris with them for the day . They took him out for a walk and they sent me pictures and video of Morris having a good time, you can see that they really love animals and they take care very good.”


“I am so thankful I found somebody who can take care of my little one when I’m away!!! He had a great time and he was well taken care of! I know he is in good hands!”


“Alex was WONDERFUL! He went above and beyond to take care of my 70lb foster puppy, Sony. Took him on long walks and to the dog park ?. He was also super helpful when I couldn’t get the crate into my car. He went above and beyond by picking up the crate and the pup at my apartment. Sony was so happy and relaxed when he got back home. I will definitely book with Alex again.”


“Sylvia and Mark (and fam) are great. They took great care of my old girl and were super understanding of her evolving idiosyncrasies. Would definitely trust them again and highly recommend.”


“Chelsea and Christopher were amazing sitters. As soon as we met we were given a tour of the house, which was the perfect environment for our pup. They were extremely friendly and sent many pictures throughout the stay. Maple was in such a good mood afterwards and we could tell she had a fantastic time. We will definitely be returning customers :)”


“I can’t thank Christopher & Chelsea enough. As a nervous dog owner who has never left her pets with anyone, but family he truly went above and beyond for Aggie and Eddie. Christopher cares about dogs as if they were his own and it shows. My dogs were happy and seemed right at home when I picked them up. I can’t say enough good things!”

New Scotland dog parents share their Rover experiences
Emer is a very loving and knowledgeable dog person! Our dog Cadie stayed at Emer's for three nights. She was able to run in Emer's spacious yard with the other dogs, play fetch and go for walks. She came home happy and tired. At our Meet and Greet, Emer took the time to ask questions about Cadie before her stay so she would know our dogs personality and things that she enjoys doing. Great communication, accommodated our pick up and drop off needs. We would be very comfortable using her again.

(I have a BullyMix) Jayla is great! Warm personality can see she is caring and my pup will be in great hands and he was!! This was my first time and my pups first of staying overnight and overall with someone he doesn't know. She shared pictures and updates and accommodated my delay in schedule. He seemed happy and at ease! Thank you will be booking again.

Emily was so fantastic with my rotti, Kenna. She is a rescue who has been with me for 5 years, but had a few homes before, and never been away from me overnight, so I was a little nervous about leaving her. Emily was very reassuring and they got along at the initial meet and greet and I could see that Emily has a very calm demeanor that is great for an anxious doggo. While I was away she sent me daily updates with lots of pictures and let me know how my girl was doing which I definitely appreciated. I would definitely recommend Emily and trust her to watch my pup in the future.
