“Chad took great care of both our dogs. We have an energetic one year old and a laid back six year old..and he was able to keep them both occupied and entertained. He also sent over a bunch of photos daily. Thanks Chad!!!”

“Sheridan helped me last minute when my previous sitter had to cancel on me. She responded promptly, was attentive, and gave great updates. I’m extremely appreciative of her help!”

“Kristen was so great! She was available on very late notice and came over to meet me and my pups the same day! She went above and beyond with photo and video updates which were amazing to see while traveling. You can tell she had a genuine interest in caring for the pups and not just there “punching the clock”. She did way better than I could have ever hoped and was a life saver in what was a last minute situation. 5⭐️”

About: I love animals! I’ve had pets my whole life and could not imagine life without one! I have over 15 years of pet sitting experience, from Great Danes to puppies, cats and even chinchillas! I have a particular love for senior pets and those that need extra love and attention. I currently have one cat, Tonks. She is 9 years old, a beautiful torbie, former barn cat and current indoor princess. I have previously been the proud mom of 4 wonderful cats and 3 perfect pups who all lived long happy lives. I can’t wait to meet your best furry friends! I’m self employed and am able to cater my schedule around yours! I’m available week days and weekends. I’m also available to stay with your pets overnight while you are on vacation, traveling for work, etc. I treat my clients pets as my own. I will follow your routine and instructions implicitly. Whether that is a nice walk, or a snuggle on the couch, I’m here for all their needs.
“Anna stayed with our dog Ginger for an extended weekend and she was fantastic! From the meet and greet to photo updates, we could tell that our anxious dog loved her and felt comfortable around her. 10/10 and we will definitely be booking with Anna again!”

“Corrinn did a great job! She provided updates often and seemed to really bond with my kitties. I have 4 senior cats that have special needs and I felt very at ease with them in her care. They are very routine orientated and Corrinn didn’t miss a beat with the feeding and medicine schedules. I would definitely rebook and recommend her.”

“Alanis was prompt with communications both when booking and during her stay. She sent messages and pictures to let us know things were doing well. We sure appreciated that our dogs were in good hands!”

“Miriam did a fantastic job taking care of goose and Delta. She was reliable, on time, and fantastic with communication. Set my mind at ease while I was away! I would happily refer her to anyone who needs a dog or pet sitter and will definitely be using her again!”

About: I've grown up with dogs since I was 8, having owned rottweilers and a pug. I'm comfortable handling different personalities, sizes, ages, and energy level. I am a student at Ohio State looking to make a couple extra bucks while hanging out with cute dogs! I am available weekends and weekdays after 1 PM I give dogs lots of attention through playtime, a walk, brushing them, or just laying with them. I can follow specific instructions with feeding, bathroom breaks, or routines they have. Can also send updates or photos if wanted/needed.
“Laken was instant friends with our little guy! She communicated very well and made us feel like Otto was in good hands. Otto looks forward to spending more time with Laken! Thank you! 😊”

“Our fur babies love Eujuana! She kept us up to date as to how everyone was doing. Sent pics. Kept the house neat and tidy. Even folded a load of towels! Can not recommend her enough. She is pleasant and very kind. A pleasure to deal with.”

“Mallory was excellent sitting for us over a long weekend! She was very communicative over the whole period and gave our pup so much love. We will definitely be looking to hire Mallory anytime we need a walker or sitter. Bonus, she left our home spotless so our return home was super easy!”

“Morgan did an excellent job taking care of our house and our two doggies while we were away. We loved the photos and appreciated her flexibility when our travel plans changed. We highly recommend Morgan and would love to have her back in the future.”

“This is the first time Janasha watched the dogs! She always stayed in communication and gave updates at least three times a day without even asking for them. We came home and the pups seemed to be in the best mood and while taking care of! Thankful for her care and accountability! The pics of the girls throughout the weekend was a plus :)”
“Erica is seriously the best! I always know that Clyde is in the most loving hands while i’m away. My house is just how I left it (if not, it’s cleaner) :) and I receive daily updates and pictures. I appreciate her and so does Clyde!”

“Khalia watched our three dogs over thanksgiving and she did an amazing job! They were so well taken care of and loved. We would recommend her and will definitely be using her again in the future!”

About: As a dog mom of three very different pups—a goofy cuddle bug, a squirrel-chasing chatterbox, and a calm, loyal companion—I truly understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt my care to each dog’s unique energy level, quirks, and routine. I have experience with senior dogs, stubborn breeds, and high-energy pups, and I’m especially great with food-motivated dogs (because let’s be honest—treats are love!). Whether your pup needs a playmate, a cuddle buddy, or a calm presence, I’m here to make them feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I also have experience with medication administration, basic training reinforcement, and helping dogs feel comfortable in new environments. Your pet won’t just be watched—they’ll be cared for like family. Pet care is a natural fit in my life because I’m already surrounded by dogs and love spending time with them! I work full time, but I’m looking to do pet care part time—and I have flexibility in my current schedule that allows me to make arrangements as needed. Whether it’s early morning walks, evening drop-ins, or weekend stays, I’m happy to work with pet parents to find a routine that works for everyone. Caring for animals brings me joy, and I’m excited to welcome more furry friends into my weekly routine! I provide pet care exclusively in my clients' homes to ensure each pet stays comfortable in their own environment and to avoid any stress from introducing them to my three resident dogs. I’m respectful of routines and will follow all care instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medication, or cuddle time. I make it a priority to keep your pet safe, happy, and loved while you're away, and I always provide updates so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.
“Emily is amazing and takes great care of my pups! She really goes above and beyond and I know that my dogs are getting the best care possible. She is so thoughtful and takes great care of the house, too. Highly recommend!!”

Northeast pet parents share their Rover experiences
Hailey was terrific. My dog does not like strangers, however Paris took to Hailey instantly. I would recommend her for any animal or house sitting. My house was cleaner than when I left. Hailey is sweet and trustworthy. She enjoyed Paris and Paris enjoyed her. Thank you Hailey 😊

We recently entrusted our beagle, Kylie, to Stacey’s care—and we couldn’t be more grateful that we did. We specifically chose Stacey because of her extensive experience as a vet tech, which was crucial since Kylie suffers from seizures. Her understanding of animal behavior was another key factor, as Kylie is a former puppy mill mama who struggles with significant separation anxiety. Normally, my husband and I don't travel anywhere without Kylie. But due to a sudden loss in our immediate family, we had no choice but to find someone we could trust. Stacey exceeded every expectation. She was incredibly empathetic and reassuring, understanding just how difficult it was for us to leave Kylie for the first time. Stacey went above and beyond—taking Kylie on walks to ease her anxiety and patiently earning her trust. To our amazement, Kylie eventually snuggled up and napped with her, something she only does with close family members. That moment alone spoke volumes. We wholeheartedly recommend Stacey and will absolutely have her care for Kylie again. She brought comfort and peace of mind to both us and our sweet girl during a very difficult time.
