“Lindsay took great care of our dog while we were out of town. She was prompt, she had great communication, and our dog loved her. 10/10 would book with her again!”
“Sara was super responsive to the booking request and was able to meet our cats beforehand. Sara was very responsible meeting our cats needs while we were out, she was on time, and provided pictures and updates! The cats loved her!”
“Jessica was amazing, she arrived promptly and despite the bad weather had a nice play date with my dog Frank. She sent adorable pics which really brightened my day! I will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Bethany took such great care of our large pit bull/lab mix. It was my first time using Rover so I was a little nervous, but I could tell right away that our dog was in very good hands. She was very responsive and sent tons of pictures, and we will definitely use her in the future!”
“Mengshu and Thomas were fabulous to work with! They dropped in on my cats over the weekend. They paid extra attention to them, took a ton of photos, and even brought a toy over one day. I could definitely tell from the photos that the cats had warmed up to them very quickly. I am looking forward to booking with them for our next travels. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Lauren and Wynn were great. I booked them close to my trip date and they were able to squeeze me into their schedule. Prompt responses during booking and they sent several pics during each visit. Would definitely use them again.”
“Anna was awesome with my chi! She was here on time and sent the cutest pictures. I felt comfortable leaving my pup in her care. I will definitely be rebooking!”
“Donna was an amazing sitter who got along with my cat greatly! She is very nice and obviously loves being around pets! Will definitely contact her again if I need a sitter!”
“Victoria watched our older cat, Lucky, while we were on vacation. She was highly communicative, very caring, and sent great photos of a cat that’s pretty shy. I’d highly recommend her. We came home to a very happy kitty!”
“I cannot express how thankful I am for Kristen! She flexed at the last minute to support our sick dog in addition to our cat! She was absolutely wonderful, super communicative, and took awesome care of our babies.”
“Brendan was great with our 2 dogs. The dogs seemed to like him and the pictures proved that. He took his time with each dog individually which was nice for the dogs to get their own attention. Thank you for respecting our home and taking care of our fur-babies! We are definitely keeping Brendan in our favorites.”
“It was our first time leaving our puppy with a sitter & first time using Rover. Chloe covered us after we had a last minute cancellation with another sitter. She was punctual and did everything as we asked. She sent lots of updates & pictures which set our minds ease. Stark enjoyed his time with her which is most important!”
“Absolutely wonderful sitter! Very thorough and even took the time to bond and play with our timid cat! Sent tons of photos and videos letting us know when/if our cat was eating/drinking/playing.”
“Naomi took excellent care of our Kitties! With her knowledge & love for all cats we felt fortunate & confident with our Kitties in her care. Her attention to bringing in the mail & daily photos/videos was an extra bonus! 5🌟 all the way! We will rebook and would highly recommend!”
“Jill was amazing! She followed the instructions for our cats perfectly and it gave us a lot of peace of mind while away. Sent plenty of pictures - would definitely book again!”
About: I have taken care of my friend's dogs off and on for a few years, and I have found I excel at taking care of pets, the way owners take care of their own! I work from home and I'm able to give your dog my full attention. I work from home, so I am able to give give full attention to your pet as needed! My weekends are pretty quiet, But I do sometimes go out to play shows on the weekends. I'm fully capable of taking the dog out, feeding, walking, and other tasks as instructed. I'm unable to wash, groom, or cut nails. I simply don't have experience in those aspects
“Amazing sitter! My babies (she watched my rat terrier pup and holland lop bunny) aren’t used to new people in the apartment all the time, plus we just moved so new space. Stephanie took the time to make sure they were not only properly cared for with all the weird things that come with pets, but they quickly came to feel comfy around, love, and look forward to her visits I could tell! Would love her to sit anytime!”
About: What sets me apart is my experience and flexibility. I started pet sitting in college and have always loved caring for animals. Now that I work locally with summer hours ending before 5, I’m able to offer reliable drop-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I treat every pet like my own and understand how important consistency and trust are for pet owners Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I work in Hyde Park, so I’m already in the area during the week. On Wednesdays I’m off at 1, Thursdays at 2, and Fridays I’m off all day, which gives me plenty of flexibility. I care for pets like they’re part of the family. My own dogs are definitely spoiled — we have a 10.5-year-old Lab/Collie mix and recently adopted a 1-year-old Chihuahua mix — so I’m used to caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their pet’s normal routine for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and comfort to help them feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away
Newtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Nina did a great job with our 3 Shelties on their pet visits while we were away. She was prompt and very flexible with her scheduled visits. Nina was patient, giving them positive reenforcement when they were shy or reluctant to go potty. We will definitely use her in the future!
I was a nervous dog momma leaving my persnickety English Bulldog for a short work trip but Wynn and Lauren put me at ease. They took the time to get to know him and build trust. Highly recommend… especially if you have an anxious pup who takes time to warm up to new friends.
Emily is the BEST! This is the second time she has watched our kitties while we were away for over a week. They love her and it is so nice to be able to vacation and have complete peace of mind that they are in great hands. We appreciate the daily updates, photos, and Emily’s care for our cats.🙂
Mengshu and Thomas were fabulous to work with! They dropped in on my cats over the weekend. They paid extra attention to them, took a ton of photos, and even brought a toy over one day. I could definitely tell from the photos that the cats had warmed up to them very quickly. I am looking forward to booking with them for our next travels. 10/10 would recommend!
We usually use a family member to take care of our cats. Due to a scheduling conflict we needed outside help. Sara did a great job! She was great at sending several photos of my happy cats. Sara was even able to see and get a photo of my super scared cat (Odie) that no ever sees, that just doesn't happen. We asked Sara to stay for an hour to love on them so they would not feel so abandoned. She did just that and we have pictures showing how our needy/affectionate cat (Loki) just crawled all over her. The area around the food and water bowl was left clean and tidy. The liter box was cleaned regularly. Thank you for attention to detail. If they could talk I am sure they would ask for Sara again by name.
Absolutely the most amazing person to watch your animals. So kind and caring. Truly the most amazing human I ever met. She stepped in to help when I was in a crisis situation and took the care of my dogs so it was one less thing I had to worry about. I can never thank her enough.
Five Star Pet Sitter‼️Kylie did a great job the first time she took care of my two dogs and so I asked her to help out again. She is Super responsible and a true animal lover! She goes the extra mile and has a wonderful attitude. I highly recommend Kylie- and so do my dogs! ☺️
