“Emma dogsat for us for several days and did a wonderful job with our two little ones fone of whom is extremely ambivalent about strangers, but fell in love with her right away)! I felt totally comfortable with her taking care of our babies while we were gone. She was kind, reliable, very responsive, and flexible when my drop-ins changed due to a last minute flight delay. She even helped keep our beloved plants alive! So happy we found someone we can trust with our fur babies while we’re away!”


“Sarah saved my behind! She was able to come last minute and spend some time with my dog during the day. He was able to get his exercise and a some cuddles as well. Thank you!”


“We are so grateful to Tina for her help. She was quick to respond and sent updates and pics of her visits with our two kitties. We would recommend Tina to anyone looking for a reliable and professional sitter, and we will definitely use her again!”


“It has to be a really special person for me to feel comfortable leaving someone in my house overnight with my baby. Samantha spent the weekend inmy home and took great care of my shitzhu-bision. She was flexible with her schedule and asked all the right questions. She is very upbeat and enthusiastic. She is confident in her experience and knowledge about dogs. She randomly touched base with me and sent lots of pictures ensuring me that Pippa was very happy. I would absolutely have Samantha come back again and would highly recommend her.”


“Tara is fantastic! She is so sweet and took great care of our cat. She also sent us pictures while we were away for our peace of mind. Our cat is pretty skittish and he warmed up to her so quickly! Definitely recommend her :)”


“Love Rachel!!! She was so quick to respond and respectively adapt to my situation with a smile; and put me at ease immediately. Her photos of my 3 year old black lab Kai are PHENOMENAL and I always feel left out! She has already given me so many training tips and answered a million questions. Kai gets so excited to see her and I am thrilled having someone reliable and experienced giving Kai the quality time and exercise he needs while I am at work. 10/10 recommend!! Just not during Kai's time lol!! Thank you Rachel!!! <3”


“Amy is so sweet and so good with our dog Louie! She was communicative from the start and each day she updated us with how the visit went and a cute picture of him on their walk. Thank you Amy! Louie can't wait to have you back!”


About: Salutations, My name is Saori and I have 15+ years caring for animals. Not only have I owned and cared for everything from rodents to livestock, but all ages of pets as well. I studied to be a vet tech and worked for places such as the Animal Medical Center in NYC then eventually became a farmer so I'm capable of helping those in need of Physical Therapy, medication from syringe to pills, and able to notice when a pet is ill and needs additional care. I am also a foster mom for dogs via Paws Rescue League and have placed more than a dozen dogs in the last 2 years. Needless to say I love animals and able to provide your dog (or cat) with the best of care. I work from home at my farm. I rarely vacation so I am home all day and able to have pets in and around my home at all times. I have a farm with two dog friendly dogs. My farms has fenced and gated areas, but I normally let my dogs play outside all day in nice weather. If your dog has good at recall they'll be allowed off leash, but if not they'll have a scheduled day that will include swimming, hikes and lots of pets. If you have a pet that is senior and prefers naps over playtime. We have a specially made dog room with a TV and air conditioning.

About: I’ve owned large dogs my whole life and have been through the training process with all dogs, so I am well equipped at walking and handling animals. I have a very flexible schedule and I am available for pet care at any hour and day besides on Friday nights where I have a part-time job. In my home, the dogs are fed twice a day with treats between feedings. Everyday we make sure to get in a long walk and or a game of fetch for some daily exercise


About: Throughout my life I have owned a dog and have been responsible for a majority of their needs. I have owned big dogs and small dogs and both have been fun experiences. No matter how energetic or grumpy the dog can be, I have always been able to keep the energetic dogs active and make sure the grumpy ones behave. There have been many times that neighbors or family members have come to me to watch their dogs, knowing that they're in good hands. Not only have I had extensive experience caring for dogs, but I absolutely adore them. I have so much fun meeting new dogs and learning about their personalities, and what ways to make them feel comfortable with someone that is new to them. I am free all summer. However, when the Fall Semester begins, I will be attending college full-time. Despite this, I do intend to continue to provide my services in drop-in visits and walks. I will just need to work them into my schedule while taking classes.

About: As a dog lover for as long as I can remember, I truly enjoy expanding my caregiving services to others. My household has raised many types of breeds, from German shepherds to golden retrievers to miniature schnauzers. For the last 10 years, I’ve cared for my close friends’ and neighbors’ dogs for their vacations and trips, and would like to offer my services to those who are looking for peace of mind while away! I live very close to a state park for long walks, a fenced in pool area, and spacious backyard. Since my yard is not fenced in, I allow the dogs to roam freely within the pool area or take multiple walks per day in my neighborhood. I also understand what it’s like to worry about my pups while traveling, and would love to be the sense of relief for your four-legged family members! I currently work part-time and my daily schedule tends to vary; however, your pet is my priority before and after my scheduled shift. I understand the importance of consistency in a dog’s routine and will try to stick to it as closely as possible. A lot of love. Additionally, as someone who loves the outdoors, I am happy to host or take care of pets who need a lot of exercise. In terms of safety, I never let them off leash unless the area is fenced in.

“We could not be happier with Terri and our experience! She helped us at the very last minute and we were so lucky to find her! We're looking forward to working with her many more times...and so is Cody :)”


About: I've always had dogs for as long as I can remember. At this stage of my life, I do not want a dog of my own, but would love to help you care for yours. I am retired and spend much time around the area. would love a companion for outside walks, cuddling on the couch or just hanging out on deck enjoying the sunshine. In my home, the guest is free to roam the house and go on any furniture or bed.....A full guest in our home. Water is always out and I will follow any requests from the owners. Never outside without a leash

About: I have grown up with pets my entire life and have owned dogs such as: Golden Retrievers, Pomeranians, as well as mixed breeds. I am truly a dog lover at heart. I understand that pets are part of the family and they will be treated as a part of ours during their stay. I am a homeschooling mom and other than drop-off/pick-up at classes and the occasional errands, I am always around. My husband also works from home. Your pet will rarely be alone! Although my yard is not fenced in, it is surrounded by woods. I do prefer to keep dogs on a leash outside at all times. I have two kids who will give your dog lots of attention and love, as well as family members nearby who always stop in to meet any furry visitors we have!

About: For over 30 years animals have been a very significant and impactful part of my life. Growing up my family always had animals in the house. From household pets to caring for cats off the street, I have gotten to see the amazing capabilities of all different types of creautures. Being able to witness the intelligence of these animals, while also getting to know different personalities and watch them open up after first being hesitant has been a blessing. 5 years ago I turned my passion for animals into a career, and I have built up my clientele mainly through word of mouth, but also by apps such as Facebook, Next door, etc. I am now on Rover to further expand my cliental base and reach new people who may not be on any other social media platforms. I have experience with all types of breeds, administering medications, and working with problem behaviors. This is what I do full-time besides taking care of my two kids. I have tons of availability to care for, love on, and play with your dog or cat (or any animal that may need attention)! I take last minute calls, short term, and long term jobs The most important thing to me when caring for my pets is the safety and comfortability of the space they are in. Whether it may be within the animals own home or my own, my goal is to establish a positive bond with your pet and create a safe and nurturing environment that will lessen the stress and anxiety of being away from family. Integrity and reliability is what I stand by with my care. Dogs that I board in my home are taken on daily walks. With permission I will happily bring them along on adventures to dog parks, hiking trails, and so much more! When dropping in for an at home visit the dogs are also walked and played with. If there is a fenced in backyard I'll take your pup out to play fetch, expel energy, and get some exercise in.

About: I have been a dog and cat owner my whole life. I’ve been around and taken care of small, medium and large dogs as well as cats. Friends and family members have trusted me to take care of their fur babies. I work remotely so my schedule is very flexible - I’m able to take frequent walks and potty breaks throughout the day. I love animals. I check on them frequently as well as take them on walks as needed. I’m trustable and reliable. I will call or text if needed

“Caroline is the absolute best. Another sitter cancelled last minute and she was able to step in. She sent SO many pictures and videos of our cats which we loved, we always worry when we’re away and knew after the first day that they were in good hands. She was super communicative and overall the exact type of sitter we’d want. We will absolutely be using her again!”

“Kaitlyn is very passionate with cats and dogs as she grew up with them. She loves taking them for walks and give them the special attention they deserve.”




Michael P.
“Mike can be easily described as a dog lover and I highly recommend Mike to take care of your pup. He has two very fun dogs (as of June 2017), a goofy black lab and a very sweet small german shepard. He has taken care of my beagle hound on several occassions and it was clear that my baby had a wonderful time. It's rare that my pup warms up to people so quickly but Mike has a special way with dogs. He's assertive, kind, and attentive to the needs of the dogs in his care and I know that if anything unfortunate were to happen to my pup, He's in good hands with Mike. Mike's home is also a real beauty as well. Nestled down cul-de-sac in Newtown, Mike has a large fenced in area that is a dogs heaven. There is plenty of room to run, play, hide, and even swim in the pool to cool off. At night, Mike sets up a great spot for the dogs, either in his room next to his bed or wherever the pup feels most comfortable. I highly recommend Mike to be your Rover go-to care taker. He's one of those care takers that is likely to become the #1 call for many.”

She is always on time, follows directions and goes above and beyond to ensure that my dog feels safe and happy. I would recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate pet sitter. Your pets will be in excellent hands.”


Jennifer W.
“Jennifer is incredibly caring and nurturing and a true lover of animals. I have known her for over 15 years and have always admired her gentle, loving way with dogs. Dogs absolutely love her and I would never ever hesitate to leave my dog in her care!”


Annmarie K.
“Annmarie has pet sat for my cat several dozen times. She would come to my house about 3 times a day for as long as I needed her. My cat was well taken care of, happy and very content. Annmarie is very conscientious and always communicated her visits, described how my cat was doing and sent pictures. She cared deeply for my cat and it showed by his happy condition when I would return home. I highly recommend having her care for your pet.”


Madison P.

“Madison did such a great job! Appreciate all the text and updates. Will be using you again soon! Thank you.”


Leah C.
“Leah has always loved animals and has a tremendous instinct to care for them as she did with our cat Shadow and our dog Lola when she was growing up with them as our pets. It is immediately apparent when pets are around Leah they relax and show her affection because of the gentle vibe they pick up on from her. She has pet sit for friends and family numerous times and she genuinely enjoys the company of animals. I can say without hesitation that Leah will make a great addition to the Rover team.”
