“Chloe clicked with my dog Ellie instantly, they loved each other during the meet and greet. We left Ellie in good hands for one day with Chloe. She stopped by several times during the day and next day to make sure Ellie was well fed and loved. The pictures she sent made me relieved that Ellie was well taken care of while I was away. I’ll definitely be asking her to care for my dog next time I’m away 💛.”
“Peter was very attentive with Meeko making sure his needs were taken care of! I received lots of updates and pics which made me feel reassured Meeko was in good hands. Thank you!”
“Cheryl & Elmar each dropped-in to visit my new 10 week old puppy who is adapting to his parents going back to work. Hudson absolutely loved playing with them and they provided plenty of pictures and videos to ensure Hudson was comfortable and having a great time.”
About: Animals are the center of my universe. I grew up with animals of all kinds; cats, dogs, bunnies, hamsters, birds, fish, ferrets. I’m currently a mom to a female golden retriever, two beautiful ferret daughters and a baby boy bird. I hope to retire one day and own an animal rescue farm. I believe it is our job as humans to give all sentient beings the absolute best love and care and to make sure they feel safe. I am keen to make sure wildlife is safe wherever possible. I’ll pull over on the side of the road to help turtles cross to the other side of the reservoir. On a daily basis I will prioritize every animal from the moment I wake up. I can and will do it all. Feeding, cleaning, walking, playing, giving them love and attention. As I mentioned above, animals are the center of my universe. I want each and every animal to trust me and feel safe with me while under my care.
“Alyssa took great care of my cat during 2 long vacations so far. Our cat is not always the easiest to care for, but Alyssa listened and respected our wishes and tread carefully around ZELDA, eventually winning her over. Communication was excellent, will be booking w Alyssa in the future!”
“Priscilla was incredible with my senior pug, who has multiple health issues. She was kind, attentive, and her photo updates brought so much peace of mind while I was away. Thank you, Priscilla, for your wonderful care.”

About: Lifelong animal lover with experience from pups, kittens to senior dogs and even more recently deaf pets. Was raised with cats, dogs, and even reptiles. Pet care fits naturally into my life. Recently lost my 13yr old senior frenchie. I do work full-time weekdays but am available for evening feedings, walks, and weekend care. My 12 yr old son may be with me many times as this is also his passion. Whether in my home or yours, your pet’s comfort and safety come first. In my home, while space is modest, I offer a clean, cozy environment with a secure fenced-in yard for play and potty breaks. I'm attentive and patient. I also have a 12 yr old son who can keep your pet active if needed. My son actively entertained our frenchie and provided those extra special hugs. There will always be room for love and play. In your home, I follow your pet's routine closely to keep them calm and happy while you're away.
About: Hi! I am a lifelong animal lover with decades of experience caring for pets- my own, as well as those of friends and family. To me, pets are family- and I understand just how much they mean to the people who love them. That's why I believe it's so important to have someone you trust, that will care for your pets with the same love & attention that you would. I'm here to be that person . I work from home so this gives me the flexibility to provide consistent care- whether it is walks, feedings, or check-ins. I'm able to adapt to their needs. I do have a fenced in yard; but I like to create a calm, safe space for my animals and I have a routine to ensure consistency. And not to mention, that they get lots of love and attention!
“Helene is awesome. I heard her on my ring cameras talking to my pups, and could immediately tell she’s a true animal lover. She followed my instructions and sent several great photos. We will most definitely be repeat customers!”
About: I've had a love for animals as long as I can remember. As a young child finding strays , cats or dogs and caring for them until the owners where found. Love these fur babies and will care for them like my own. I am currently unemployed and love animals and walking -perfect fit! My schedule is open to help when needed. Would love to schedule a meetup with your fur baby. Each pet has its own routine to be discussed prior to my care. Will follow the needs of each pet individually and any additional requirements as needed.
About: *** Please don't send me requests for dates if you see my calendar is already blocked off with those dates & PLEASE READ MY ENTIRE PROFILE BEFORE BOOKING *** I keep my calendar up to date so use other dates if Rover insists you must pick dates for sitting in order for a message to go thru** Also, if booking for day care, after 4 hours of a stay, this is going to get the full day rate because I do not take multiple dogs I am also charging for 3 days when it's a weekend if the dog is coming early on Friday and going home on Sunday because I can't have a dog for 3 days and only get paid for 2 days. I have only raised my rate by $1-2 since Covid & take one family of dogs at a time. Please respond back to all messages if you reach out. Thx. ** I am trying to take dogs now under 50 pounds, very small/small to medium preferred. It would be very helpful if you list the specific breed of your dog too and give details. No aggressive breeds taken, sorry, no Pitbulls. My husband and I both work from home as my only job is caring for the dogs staying at my house. It is nice because someone is always here and the dogs get a ton of attention. My name is Hope Landow-Schnur and I adore dogs. I raised my own dogs for over 14+ years - Bailey and Jango. Everyone that knows me, knows that I am the ultimate pet lover and treated my dogs as well as my children. We have a nice home in River Vale, NJ with a huge 6' high fenced in yard. I am married with triplets - 22 years old and they love playing with our guest dogs. I have my own big crate set up (only if you crate your dog) and ready to welcome your dog(s) into my home when you need to be away overnight or for an extended period of time. I will do my best to keep your treasured pet on their own schedule with feedings, playtime and time outside running around the back yard or if you prefer, walks only. I've made floor dogs into lap dogs, they get extra spoiled with me! You will also get lots of photos & updates when you are away. I just recently changed my setting to small to medium dogs if you are a repeat customer and can not find me on line. I'm also available for dog day care in my home if my calendar is free. After 6 hours, it is considered a full rate instead of the daily rate if you plan to leave your dog with me. Looking forward to hearing from you & I respond back promptly! Thanks. Hope
About: I had an Akita for almost 10 years and have had many dogs in the past. I took her on long walks and gave her baths and fed her. I would also have to give her medicine occasionally when prescribed. She was the best dog I could’ve ever asked for. I am currently working part time but I am available most of the week during the day. I would love to fill my mornings with activities. If instructions are provided I will do what is required of me. I have a huge fenced in backyard if boarding is required at home.
“Pew Pew was very happy in Alina's care. Alina is very communicative and helpful. Alina gave Pew Pew her medicine daily and was flexible with a last minute change. Thank you Alina!”
“Jenny was an absolute delight as a cat sitter for Ms. Chunky! From the start, she was professional, communicative, and genuinely caring. She took the time to meet us beforehand and made sure she understood Chunky's needs and quirks. Throughout her visits, Jenny kept me updated with timely messages, fun photos, and sweet little anecdotes about their budding friendship (which I'm convinced is now lifelong). Her attention to detail was fantastic—she even went above and beyond by checking on a package for me. It was clear she genuinely cared for Chunky, treating her like royalty with treats and affection. Jenny's reliability and warm demeanor made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and fun sitter for their furry family members. Thank you, Jenny!”

Lynda L.
“I have known Lynda a long time. We call her “Ellie Mae Clampett”. She is truly the most involved caregiver for animals I have yet to encounter in my 60+ years. Lynda has taken care of our 2 golden retrievers until these two dogs were 16 and 17 years old. She frequently involved herself with our English Shepard and now with our newer golden. A dedicated animal lover to the core. Lynda has also cared for an Eclectus parrot that was in our home for several years. That bird was very hard for anyone to get close to…Lynda did and handled him easily and with his permission. If there is anyone I would have in my home to responsibly take care of my animals…Lynda is a first choice always. Trustworthy and sincere should be her middle names.”

Joeyann M.
“I’m writing to recommend JoeyAnn Morales as a pet sitter based on my personal experience and years of knowing her. She recently cared for my cats while I was out of town, and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. She was incredibly attentive, stopping by not just to feed them, but to spend quality time, check in on their well-being, and give them the play and attention they needed. I came home to happy, relaxed cats and a clean space, which speaks volumes. I’ve known JoeyAnn since she was young, and she’s always had a natural love for animals. Even as a child, she was the kind of person who gravitated toward pets, always gentle, curious, and caring. She grew up in a home filled with animals of all kinds, from dogs and cats to ducks, reptiles, and birds. That early exposure gave her a deep understanding of how to care for animals with both confidence and compassion. She’s responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely passionate about the well-being of animals. If you're looking for someone to care for your pets as if they were her own, she’s exactly who you want.”

“Kelli has pet sat for my two cats numerous times for many years. She is trustworthy, reliable, responsible and very caring. She always gives me updates, sends pictures and confirms times/amounts of food and if anything is out of the ordinary she always lets me know. I highly recommend her to become a Rover pet sitter.”

“Debbie M. loves animals; she has a cat who she takes care of lovingly. Frequently, she dog sits for her son & daughter-in-law’s pet, Kobe. Kobe loves spending time with Debbie at her home. Also, Debbie gets concerned about one of our friend’s cats and will purchase food and kitty litter to ensure the fur babies’ have a plentiful supply. You can depend on Debbie to take care of your pet as if it were her own or Kobe.”
