1. Danette S.

“I couldn't be more thrilled with the outstanding care Danette provided for Buddy. Coming home to a genuinely happy and content pup speaks volumes about the quality of Danette's service. Her attention to detail, love for animals, and responsible approach make her an exceptional dog sitter. I highly recommend Danette to fellow pet owners looking for top-notch care for their furry companions. Thank you, Danette, for going above and beyond!”




2. Jennifer O.


“Jennifer was easy to communicate with right from the beginning. She kept us updated during the 2 days she kept our elderly dog. Our dog requires medicine and wears diapers which was not a problem for Jennifer. I hope to use her again! Our dog loved her!”


3. Debra H.

“I was sick to my stomach thinking about leaving my baby, but Debra was so amazing with our Gunner! I got texts & pictures every day and we came to a happy boy! She even gave us tidbits for training! We’re definitely keeping her in our roster for dog sitting! I can’t give enough praises!!!! Debra you are awesome!”


4. Montana M.

“Montana is amazing and all my dogs love her. She is a wonderful person who loves what she does. I highly recommend her. She texted and sent photos. She made us feel safe leaving our furry babies as one is an elder dog.”


5. Connie P.

“Connie was a wonderful dog-sitter for my elder dog Kelsey. She kept me informed and sent photos throughout the days I was gone. Kelsey warmed up to her very quickly. It's a nice feeling knowing I have a trustworthy dog-sitter to turn to when needed. I highly recommend Connie!”

“Maria was amazing with our dog Barley! She gave him so much attention and sent us tons of photos and videos. We will definitely use Maria again when we need a sitter for Barley. He was looking all around for her this morning.”


8. Starla L.
About: I have many years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I have owned many breeds of dogs and cats. Jack Russell's were my last breed. I am semi retired, with plenty of time to devote to caring for pets since I love animals. So here I am with Rover! I have the ability to provide transportation to and from your home. The dogs will have access to my backyard with a secure fence. We will have plenty of room for running, playing ball or just sniffing around for fun. Your pet will always be supervised while outdoors. Also, I have a large, tiled family room that has dog friendly chairs and bedding for playtime and sleeping. When it’s really hot out, I try to keep them indoors during the hottest part of the day. I can’t wait to meet your little fur baby!


9. Brittany G.


“Brittany was the only person outside of our family and circle of friends who our dog Lily responded positively to! Her meet and greets meant so much to us and Lily that by the time the date came to house sit for us, Lily greeted Brittany with her special doggy smile full of teeth and jumped onto her chest! She texted me some photos and explained how Lily was feeling. She followed instructions on feeding and playing and understood Lily’s demeanor. I felt Lily and our home were in safe and capable hands. Brittany was a professional.”


10. Katie H.
“I wanted to take a moment to express how much my dog, Bailey, adores Katie. Their bond is truly heartwarming. Whenever Katie visits or watches Bailey, his tail starts wagging uncontrollably and you can see the excitement in his eyes. It's evident that they have developed a special connection. Katie’s genuine care and affection have made her an invaluable part of our dog's life. I feel at ease whenever I have to leave my dog in her capable hands. She is truly a compassionate and reliable caregiver and would highly recommend her.”


11. Tifani B.
“I have been using Tifani for about two years now to take care of my male cat while I’m away. My cat is a little bit skittish, but not around Tifani. She is so good with him. She comes twice a day and feeds him and plays with him. She’ll even hang around sometimes longer just because she wants to be with him. She is a true animal lover, and my cat mittens likes her probably more than he likes me. She is extremely responsible and keeps me posted on how he’s doing. She even sends me videos of him playing with her. Tiffany would be an excellent choice as a pet sitter.”


12. Alexis A.

“Alexis was reliable and communicated well while caring for our dog and rabbits. Even right before a major hurricane, she was still able to make sure the pets were cared for according to instructions given. She sent pics which means alot!”


13. Catlyn T.
About: I've owned dogs & cats my entire life. I helped in my brother's kennel, caring for & cleaning up after pitbulls, so "scary" dog breeds don't seem scary to me. :) I have cared for senior cats & dogs. I have experience in giving both medication, orally & topically. I have 8+ years of personal experience with rats, so I am more then happy to work with rodents & other small mammals! I have plenty of experience cleaning cages. I have experience caring for senior rats, as well as giving oral & topical medications. I have experience keeping freshwater fish. I know how to do water changes, replace filter cartages, vacuum gravel, comb sand, test water parameters, ect. I do not own birds, however, I have pet sat with them before. I currently pet sit for a caique & a macaw regularly. I have experience cleaning cages. I do not have experience giving birds any medication. I have limited experience with reptiles & invertebrates, however, I do not fear any of them. I am willing to learn how to care for both. Pet care is mostly what I do! I live with 6 cats, rats, and fish - If I am not caring for my pets at home, I am caring for pets in another home! I do pet/house sitting for four dogs and two birds at least once a month. I am comfortable staying overnight in a clients house, and if the animals need around the clock care, I can stay in-home without issue. When it comes to caring for other people's pets, I like following their instructions best! I love having rules, times, ect listed out for me. Does your pooch need breakfast at 7am sharp, with a sprinkle of cheese and 30 seconds in the microwave? Does your bird like to watch a sitcom before bed? Does your kitty NEED their favorite pillow fluffed in the evening? Does your older puppy relax best with a warmed up blanket? Well, just let me know and I'll try my very hardest to make sure your best friends are comfortable while you're away. Being away from one another is hard, both on the pets and their loving owners, so I enjoy sending photos of our fuzzy friends to their people.


14. Kristen S.
About: I love animals and love how they all have unique personalities! I look forward to helping families with their furry friends! I have helped my friends and neighbors take care of their dogs when they are unable! I am excited about meeting new people and their dogs. I appreciate the fact that people care enough for their dogs to have someone walk them. I think it is very important for dogs to get plenty of love and exercise! I have plenty of availability during the day and evening and am very flexible to accommodate the needs of each situation. I also work as a Lyft driver and I am a liscenced life producer with the State of New Jersey! I have also worked several Nanny jobs.


15. MARIIA T.
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Mariia provided for my Goldendoodle, Olivia! From the moment we met, I knew Olivia was in wonderful hands. Maria’s genuine love for animals and warm personality put me at ease right away. Throughout Olivia’s stay, I received regular updates, adorable photos, and even videos, so I could see just how happy and comfortable she was. Olivia has a playful, energetic personality, and it was clear that Mariia not only kept up with her but genuinely enjoyed spending time with her, whether it was taking her on long walks, playing fetch, or just snuggling up. It was such a relief to know Olivia was safe, loved, and having the best time while I was away. I can’t recommend Mariia highly enough – Olivia and I are both looking forward to our next booking!””


16. Brianna W.
“Rover, Brianna is the perfect candidate for this position. She is so loving to all animals. Her natural born animal love shows in her care of her fur babies. They are truly her family. I'd highly recommend her to all my family and friends, to entrust their fur babies too. She is kind and such a good human.”


17. Evria A.

“Evria was fantastic with our two dogs! She sent us lots of photos and updates to put us at ease while we were away. Highly recommend booking with her! We will 100% ask her to watch out fur-children again in the future!”


18. Brandie B.

“Brandi was awsome. She took so good care of my baby. When we got home after izzy fell al over us. She went and laid by Brandi that's how I knew she did a great job.she is our sitter going forward with out a doubt. Thanks Brandi for loving my babies.”
