I was hesitant about using Rover for my pet, however Lisbeth took such great care of my cat while I was away. She followed all directions, was in constant communication and sent multiple photos as well. She ease all my anxiety, 10/10 would recommend and use her again.

Kathryn was eager to meet my boys prior to our trip. This puts everyone at ease. It’s something I look for when choosing a new pet care provider. Kathryn followed all my instructions and was communicative all during our trip. My boys were happy and content when we got home.

About: Hi! I’m Lindsay, a 19-year-old college student originally from New Jersey. Some things about me that I do on my free time is going on runs, going to the beach, and spending time with friends and family. I’ve been around animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Growing up, my family always had dogs, and now currently have a tabby cat. I’ve frequently helped care for pets belonging to friends and relatives as well. I will always enjoy spending time with pets whether it be on a walk or just hanging out with them to keep company! I also have been caring for pets through a different app as well providing walks, sittings, drop ins, etc with a 5 star rating! The same love and attention I give to my pet will be the same for yours! I’m currently working part-time at Ben And Jerry’s. Usually Mondays, Thursdays, Friday, Saturdays. However, I work around my schedule as a pet-caregiver. I understand how important it is to feel safe and comfortable when leaving your pet in someone’s care. I promise to treat your pet with the same love, respect, and attention that I give to my own. Your pet’s well-being and happiness will always be my top priority, and I will make sure they feel secure and cared for every step of the way!

About: I started my experience dog walking 2 years ago for a professor’s friend in Winchester, Virginia. Twice a week, I would walk her hyper pups. She then recommended me to her father, whose dog I began walking twice a week as well. From there, my mini business boomed through word of mouth. I began dog sitting in people’s homes as well for multiple individuals for varying time spans. Most of the dogs I interacted with were seniors and required extensive care. However, all dogs owners loved and recommended me to others! I still walk the original dogs and add in others as my schedule allows with two other jobs. I am sad to leave my extensive clientele in Winchester, but I am moving back to New Jersey for graduate school and excited to meet new puppy friends!! For the summertime, I am incredibly flexible with nothing planned. I prefer weekly walks / drop ins, but also like sitting as well. In August, I start physical therapy school at Columbia University so my availability will decrease but I’d be willing to provide services on nights / weekends. During breaks, my availability will open up again! Whenever walking / sitting, I respect the owner’s rules, no matter what. I long to maintain utmost cleanliness and adherence to routine as physically possible. I am also very communicative and honest, building trust with my clients.

About: I am a (human) doctor and your pets safety is my priority! I know that peace of mind when you’re gone is the most importantly, and you can be sure I’ll take care of your pet like I have my friends and families. They have trusted me for many years to care for and play with their furry members! My work is remote and flexible in hours so I am very available any day other than Tuesday. I am happy to give your dog(s) the attention they need! I treat every dog and home with respect—I know that your needs may differ from my last clients, so I will always follow your instructions with care. I am attentive to detail and really love animals. They deserve the best, and I promise to deliver that.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 10 years, from puppies to senior dogs. I currently have a senior small dog of my own, so I understand the patience and attention pets need at all life stages. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and helping them feel loved and comfortable. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for! I recently graduated with my master’s degree and currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and lots of attention and companionship for your pets. I work hard to provide your pets with comfort and safety. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel as comfortable as possible. I’m especially patient with shy or nervous pets and will always provide a calm, caring, and attentive environment.

Jack was anwesome! He came right on time and thoroughly did everything we told him to do. He exceeded all expectations with his care for our dog, Colby. Not only did he ensure Colby’s physical exercise needs were met, but he also went above and beyond by capturing numerous funny photos of Colby during their walk, when he was fed, and when he was playing with him. We're very grateful for Jack's dedication and the joy he brought to both our dog and us. 5 stars!

About: Passionate about pets since childhood, I've had the joy of growing up alongside two beloved dogs, learning firsthand the ins and outs of responsible pet care and the deep bond that forms between human and animal. Today, as a proud dog owner myself, I bring not only years of personal experience but also a genuine love and dedication to providing the best care possible for furry companions. Additionally, my experience extends beyond just dogs; through house sitting, I've had the privilege of caring for both dogs and cats, ensuring their well-being, happiness, and security while their owners are away. I currently work full time, but I make plenty of room in my schedule for pups—especially on weekends, when I have the most flexibility. I’m also available for house sitting, though I can’t be home all day unless it’s Saturday or Sunday. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or some loving company while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I’m responsible, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. I’d love to meet your furry friend! Ensuring a safe and trustworthy environment is my top priority. I adhere strictly to a leash policy, ensuring that no pet leaves the house without proper restraint. In fenced areas, I conduct a thorough yard check before allowing any dogs outside, ensuring there are no potential hazards. Additionally, I double-check all doors to confirm they are securely closed, preventing any pets from wandering out unsupervised. With these measures in place, you can trust that your pets are always safe and secure under my care.

Erica is a devoted dog lover and sitter. From the very beginning (soon after my initial request) and all throughout her visits, she kept in regular contact and always communicated clearly and kindly. Our dog Ranger never had it so good. She kept us updated with photos of his activities and the love and care she provided. We'll definitely have her back. She has our highest recommendation!
