Alisha is AMAZING!!! She kept me updated with everything. Very detailed in her rover report card and let me know a play by play. Sent a lot of pictures of everything they did together. Super sweet sitter and understands and treats your pup as if they were hers. I will be booking her every chance I get!!

Scott was Pierogi's dog walker for almost a year and did an excellent job every time. Very trustworthy and thorough and you can tell he cares. He's a true professional and if I weren't moving to NJ I'm sure he would be my dog walker for much longer. Highly recommend.

Pam is amazing and trustworthy. I used her because I already knew her and knew she was amazing, and was not disappointed. She communicated well, my dog loved her and she made sure my dog, who is a new rescue known for getting loose previously, was safe, secure and well taken care of. 100% recommend Pam. She is respectful, kind and she is calm and confident with dogs. 😊

I couldn’t be happier with Brooke as my pet sitter. She was so caring and responsible and it was clear she treated my pup with affection and kindiness. . She gave me updates, sent pictures and messages each time. She was even thoughtful enough to consider how hot it was and that she would play inside instead of a longer walk.

About: Growing up in a home with multiple dogs taught me how important patience, consistency, and attention are when caring for pets. I’m very comfortable around dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that means going on walks, playing, or just helping them feel comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. I know every dog is different, and I always try to make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I’ve grown up in a home with multiple cats and dogs. I’m used to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets are comfortable and cared for throughout the day. Because I’ve always been around animals, caring for them feels like a normal and easy part of my everyday life. I’m used to living in a multi-pet household, so I pay attention to different needs at the same time. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions carefully by making sure they’re fed on time, getting the exercise and attention they need, and making sure they always have a clean, safe space. I also focus on being calm, patient, and respectful of each pet’s comfort level.

About: Loving & Experienced Pet Sitter – Specialist in Large Breeds & Seniors I have a lifelong love for animals and years of experience as a dedicated pet parent. After losing my 12-year-old Mastiff/Lab mix, Honey Bear, and my 19-year-old tabby, Eli, I’ve realized I’m not quite ready for a new pet of my own—but I have so much love left to give! I am offering my services to help others who need a reliable, attentive, and deeply caring sitter. Whether it’s long walks (one of my favorite activities!) or providing gentle care for senior pets, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I am very comfortable and experienced handling larger breeds and understand the specific needs of pets at all stages of life. If you’re looking for someone who will truly cherish your furry family members, I’d love to meet you. Please reach out to chat or schedule a visit!

About: Big Star Pet Care was started in memorial of our best friend of nearly 10 years, a rescue pitbull who was our Biggest Star. That’s why we give everyone our Big Star Promise— to treat your animals like they are their own Big Star. I've taken care of many animals, from cats & dogs, to rodents, reptiles, birds and more. This makes my experience in animal care varied and diverse. I am comfortable with all sizes of pet and breed, as well as many different temperaments. We are privately insured with pet care professional insurance (including vet coverage)— for the utmost safety of your loved ones, so that you can rest at ease while away. We are always learning new ways to expand what we can offer to our clients. We strive to follow instructions left by the pet owner and always send plenty of photos and updates. I am comfortable giving baths and can administer oral medication if needed. Thank you for considering Big Star Pet Services, I look forward to meeting you and your best friend(s). As a wife and wife team, your care will be carried out by either of us or both of us— but you can ensure top quality care regardless of who is providing it. Walks and drop ins before 8am and after 5pm are often attended by Gabrielle, while housesits are generally carried out by Mary due to Gabrielle’s full time position. Boarding care is handled by both parties. Most messages are responded to by Mary. Mary does have a standing M-F 3 hour babysitting gig from 1-4, though it often ends early. We try to be flexible and accept most bookings, including emergency last minute bookings. We offer a number of services; however, we do not accepts pets from more than one family at a time during boardings so that we can ensure the utmost attention, care and safety of your furry friends. We live in a large townhouse with a fully fenced backyard, 3 cats who keep mostly to themselves but may befriend gentler dogs and a 6 month old puppy who is generally well behaved and in training. We have no children or other people living in the home. We can create separated spaces if necessary, while still ensuring your furry friend gets the care and attention they deserve, while in a comfortable space for them. Mary is dog and cat CPR/First Aid certified through the American Red Cross. We have experience with animals who have special dietary, medication and medical related needs.

About: I am an art teacher full-time during the school year. I am available for weekend house sitting starting on Fridays when I get off. I am open to doing house sitting during the week as well, as long as you are okay with your pet being alone while I am at work. Message me so we can work out details! I’ve had my own cats for 8 years. However, I am a huge dog lover too! I have lived with many dogs through roommates and developed special bonds with many of them. I would be entrusted to care for them if a roommate was away. I love sending pics of your fur babies to you while I take care of them! I am a teacher. So, summertime is extremely flexible, and, sometimes, wide open! I can make a lot work in the summer to fit your pet’s needs. Since I have 2 cats, I am looking to mostly take care of your pets in your home. I am all about comfort for my own pets, and make that the priority for your pets in your home!

About: First time booking on rover? Use my code to save $20! KENDRR12795 Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes and personalities. My journey started with my first pet, Frenchie, a toy poodle, followed by my family’s German Shepherd, Snoopy, and now I’m the proud dog mom to Jazmine, my adorable mini Dachshund and certified cutie patootie! I’m the go to pet sitter for friends and family, whether that means house sitting so pups can stay comfy in their own home, taking long walks, or hosting playdates to help burn off extra energy. Since I work from home, your fur baby will get plenty of attention throughout the day. Jazmine's and my daily routine includes regular walks, outdoor time to keep up with neighborhood happenings, and a few fun dance breaks (yes, really!). I understand how important consistency and routine are for pets, so I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal schedule to make their stay as stress free as possible. When you book with me, I promise to care for your dog as if they were my own, and I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and videos along the way. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby! Pet care is already a seamless part of my daily routine. Since I work from home, I’m able to give dogs consistent attention throughout the day rather than limiting care to mornings and evenings. During work hours, pups are typically with me in my home office or relaxing on the veranda, so they’re never left alone for long periods. Weekend care is just as flexible, allowing time for longer walks, playdates, and extra enrichment as needed. My day naturally includes regular walks, outdoor time to explore and stay engaged with the neighborhood, and interactive play (plus a few fun dance breaks!). I’m very mindful of maintaining each dog’s established routine, including feeding schedules, walk times, and any special care instructions, to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. With a fenced-in yard and a friendly resident pup, dogs in my care get both companionship and a safe space to play. As an avid Rover user myself, I know how important it is to feel comfortable with your sitter and their home. I’d love to set up a meet and greet to make sure it’s a great fit for everyone.
