Danielle took such good care of my little Pug. We went on a trip for 4 days and it was so refreshing not having to worry about him one time. She’s truly great!

There’s nothing better than coming home to your dog after a long trip especially when he’s calm and relaxed because he was well taken care of. Juan allowed me this joy. It was the first time I’ve used him and Romeo took to him right away. Juan updated me daily and was responsive to messages. He also left my house in great condition. Thank you for taking care of my baby. We’ll be seeing you again!!

Anna is truly amazing! She would pick up on my kittie habits and communicate with me very promptly when she feels there may be an issue - no matter how small or big. I really appreciated her attention to detail. Overall, Anna's communication is so timely, clear, and thoughtful. And I think that's a strength like none other. My cats also loved her, I don't think they even missed me. I normally feel bad asking the sitters to send me pictures because personally I think it could be a tad bit annoying, but Anna would send me pics when they are being particularly cute or show me how my cats are cuddling with her non-stop! TL;DR, I am traveling for a wedding next weekend, and I already reached out to her to see if she could help me again. I hope Anna can be my kitties' loving and caring aunt forever! Please don't move from NYC!

Jackson sat for our dog over Spring Break for a week and took excellent care of him. My dog ordinarily is suspicious of men and keeps his guard up for quite a while before he trusts a male visitor to our house. But Jackson is a true dog whisperer, because they were playing tug o war and fetch within 10 minutes of their first meeting! Jackson left our home in great condition and was polite and communicative throughout. We appreciated receiving photos and videos during the week that provided peace of mind. Would definitely recommend this responsible and lovely young man.

About: I love dogs! I've been walking dogs for over 6 years and had my own dog before that. I have years of experience walking, feeding, playing with and caring for several different dogs in Arlington. I'm a North Arlington native! I am currently job searching, so I can care for your dogs throughout the week, including long walks, potty breaks and overnight stays. I generally come and go during the day. I'm happy to stay at your home and do anything you need for the dogs and the house. I do not have dogs stay with me in my own home.

Lily is the BEST! She took care of two of my pups for several days and I came back to the happiest little dogs. I received pictures and videos throughout the trip so I knew that they were doing well. She got them outside a lot, she took care of medication and even bathed them. The house was clean and tidy when i returned and she really made our trip so much better because we knew our dogs were super happy!

Daniel was great! Short notice availability. He was very accommodating with some minor last minute requests, and also when our relatives had to drop by a few times. Consistently sent (VERY adorable!) photos with a brief note/comment every day while we were on vacation. Was good about being communicative and responding to any questions as needed. House was left pretty clean when we came back. Highly recommend!!

First background I left my 14 year old bossy quirky pup at home in Amina’ care. As a 14 year old Jude has a few medical issues but is still fairly healthy but does require a couple of meds daily as well as special diet. Amina did an incredible job in caring for Jude. Truly he looked better than when I left him😊! She daily provided updates and pictures. When she had a question, she was quick to ask! I would not hesitate to have her pup sit again. Definitely removed my stress in leaving Jude for a week!!

Zoe was absolutely wonderful! Immediately when our pups did a meet and greet with her, they felt comfortable and at ease with her. Both of our pups can be a bit nervous around new people so this was impressive! She communicated and sent photos often during the trip and it was clear our pups were enjoying their time with her. The house was left clean and she even brought our packages inside for us. We look forward to booking with Zoe again!

Karla took good care of our pets over the holidays. We had a minor issue with booking fees since it was her first time on Rover but we resolved that easily. She sent photos and updates frequently for the first few days, and less later in the week, which was perfect. She was tidy and the dogs seemed happy and tired. Thanks again Karla!

Laura is wonderful! She saved us when our cat got sick before the holidays and needed someone to monitor her condition and administer her meds each morning. She took great care of our home and our two sweet kitties, and you can tell she really cares about all the animals she cares for, which made me feel so much better about being out of town with a sick pet. She sent daily updates and photos, and even fixed our sticky door! We'll definitely be contacting her next time we need a sitter!
