We had such a wonderful experience with Carolina. She is very responsive, reliable and loves animals. She is caring and a pleasure to interact with. She came to meet our 3 cats ahead of a one-week trip we had and our cats immediately connected with her from there on. We highly recommend her!

Jana was my first experience with a rover sitter and I could not be more happy about it! She was really communicative about everything. She made a checklist for everything she needed to do for each visit and was really prepared. She also sent photo updates of my kitties and let me know every time she was with them. Jana also went above and beyond and made the kittens a toy for them to enjoy (so sweet!!) which really shows how much she cared about my kitties [and animals in general!] She took time to play with them and give them attention :) Jana made me feel so much better about having left my cats alone for a few days and I would book her again and I definitely recommend her services!

Rachel was so wonderful and saved me from having to cancel a trip. I had previously arranged care for my dog that fell through at the last minute. Rachel was more than happy to step in and helped me come up with an alternate plan so he would be well cared for while I was gone.

Krystian is a really great sitter. Very responsive throughout his care of my pets and sent pictures during his check in’s. My dog and cat were very happy with the attention they received while my boyfriend and I were on vacation. Krystian also made sure to spend time petting and playing with them in addition to walks and feeding time. I would recommend Krystian to anyone, he is a really nice and trust-worthy person.

Jenni is amazing! One of our kitties is a little scared around new people and Jenni has been so patient in winning her trust. Both our kitties love Jenni and we love that Jenni takes such great care of our fur babies. Thanks Jenni!!

About: Growing up, cats and dogs were always part of my home — they weren't just pets, they were family. That foundation gave me a natural ability to read animal behavior, understand their needs, and make them feel safe and comfortable in any environment. Today I share my home with my toy poodle who I've raised since 2021 and my tabby cat who has been my companion since 2014. This means your pet is coming into an environment that is already pet friendly, calm, and loving — not an unfamiliar space that needs adjusting. As my own boss I have the flexibility to give your pet the time and attention they truly deserve. Just let me know your needs in advance and consider it done — I show up, every time. My home is a safe, loving and structured environment. With a fenced yard, a resident toy poodle for companionship, and a calm indoor space, your pet will feel right at home. I follow your routines closely and crating is always available if that’s what your pet is used to

Shakuntala is such a joy to work with! Our puppy Ares adores her and looks forward to their time together each day! She is informative, kind, and loving to Ares. She takes the best photos too which is so great to see when we are away at work :) I would HIGHLY recommend her to take care of anyone’s pets as she picks up on their routines so quickly and makes sure that both the owners and pet are happy at all times! We are so thankful to have met Shakuntala and can’t wait to see all the great times and memories she will be making with Ares.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for 4 years and have been consistently asked to watch the pets again. I am trustworthy and consistent During the week I work 8 hours a day but on weekends am home full time :) weekends are best but can watch during the week as well if the dog is ok being home just during the work day I take the dogs on at least 3 walks a day because I do live in an apartment. Also have a dog park in my building and bark social right next door

I highly recommend Ivan as someone who will take great care of your pet. He has been doing a great job looking after my dog (1h drop in visits daily). There was a recent minor medical emergency and he handled it extremely well. He is thoughtful and conscientious of the pet’s individual needs. Very grateful to have him!

About: I’m a reliable and attentive dog sitter who takes the time to understand each dog’s specific needs and routine. I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs, so I’m comfortable adjusting my approach depending on their age, energy level, and behavior. With puppies, I focus on reinforcing good habits like basic commands, potty training routines, and appropriate play. I stay consistent with whatever training style the owner prefers to help support their progress. I also have experience with senior care, including giving medications, monitoring mobility, and making sure older dogs stay comfortable and don’t overexert themselves. I pay close attention to any changes in behavior and keep owners updated. I’m patient, observant, and make sure every dog feels safe, cared for, and well looked after. I am a college student at Penn State University and am back for summer, so I’m free everyday and am flexible with timing to fit your needs. I follow each pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I stick to their feeding, walking, and care instructions while making sure the pet gets plenty of attention and exercise.

About: We are a family of four (kids are 12 and 15), plus Nash our 6 year old Australian Shepard who loves walks and snuggles. Before Nash (and even before kids!), we had Riley, our sweet black lab who left us too soon. Over the years, we have fostered dogs, cared for our friends' dogs, given millions of belly rubs and logged many miles of dog walks around our lovely neighborhood. We'll provide a caring and friendly environment, a fenced in backyard and a built-in furry playmate! I have an irregular schedule, but work from home >50% of the time. Both kids loves dogs and can also help in the afternoons and on weekends. We'll provide pics of your pup playing and on walks. Your pup will have a fenced-in yard and run of the house to play and rest. We will follow whatever schedule they are used to, can have them play with our dog or provide separation if you prefer. While the kids may help, all pup care will be done 100% by me.

Natalie is a wonderful and I’d highly recommend her for anyone with a puppy. She’s great with our 3 month old terrier mix. I’m pretty sure our puppy is more excited to see Natalie walk in than she is to see her own family members come home! Natalie’s also easy to communicate and schedule with and is very reliable. Five stars!

Ilana was fantastic.Ilana took excellent care of my dog Duke while I was out of town for three days. She was reliable, professional, and clearly cared about Duke’s well-being. She handled feeding and walking him twice a day, and giving his daily medication without any issues. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend Ilana to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
