“Katia is amazing, a cat lover for sure! She goes above and beyond with our needy cat, and even takes notice of our other aquatic pets even tho we didn't ask her to. We are lucky to have you, Thank you so much, Katia!”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Joanna and the care she provided for Isla! She was not only incredibly flexible under my circumstances but also warm, compassionate, and attentive to Isla’s needs. Joanna sent updates, including adorable photos, which really put my mind at ease. She even played fetch with her in the yard. Isla was so happy and I’m so thankful she got some enrichment. Joanna went above and beyond to make sure Isla felt loved and safe, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I highly recommend Joanna to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter! Will absolutely book again. :)”
“Thanks to Heidi for her kind and great care to our spoiled cat. She has done everything to make sure our cat eats well and happy when we are on vacations. We really appreciate her very much.”
“Caitlyn was absolutely fantastic in her care of my senior Maltese during a recent trip we took. She was courteous, caring, followed all the directions I left for her, and was very punctual. Her updates here on Rover were detailed and included many pics. I couldn't be happier with the care Caitlyn provided my little girl, and look forward to future visits by her. Thanks again Caitlyn!”
About: I am a dog lover - that person who needs to meet every dog I see and know their names. I have had several dogs as pets, including three corgis. I currently have a 2 1/2 year old corgi who loves other dogs. I I have a full-time job but work exclusively from home, so I am around all day for walks and snuggle time with your furry family member. I have a small fenced-in yard and a neighborhood that’s perfect for walking. Dogs are given lots of attention and playtime with me and my dog.
“Erica has been wonderful with my deaf dog. She was available and ready to start ASAP when two other people didn’t bother showing up. She checked in on my dog for three weeks during the week and was available last minute on the weekend. I would absolutely recommend her and will be using her again.”
About: I am a very loyal and caring animal lover (dogs, cats, horses, etc.) I grew up in Lawrenceville, NJ with cats and dogs. One of our chores was taking care of our animals, whether walking the dog, feeding them or changing cat litter and making sure all animals had fresh water daily. As a child, having an animal is a big responsibility but it is one that makes you learn and grow as a child to become a trusting and caring individual with responsibility in the big world we live in today. To be honest, animals are like family, they make you laugh and smile but their always there for you with unconditional love at the end of a busy day which everyone always needs. I am a true animal lover. I am semi-retired and have enjoyed taking care of dogs/cats all my life. Animals bring so much joy each day. I normally stay at clients home. I always make sure animals are fed and cared for each day. It’s important that they have exercise always.
“Kya really helped me out last min to drop in on Grayson . She was lovely and followed instructions- I did feel like my cat was taken care of - I would definitely use and recommend her .”
About: I can take on the most hyper of dogs (I have one myself). I understand the high demand of a hyper dog and am ready to walk and play with your furry friend! I can also care for small critters! I work 2p-10p full time as a behavior specialist with individuals with autism. I am available most mornings and am available for overnights after 10pm! I always ensure that my pets have everything they need: lots of love, an extra long walk on sunny days, toys to play with, and food that meets their diets needs.
“Sade did a bunch of “drop in” visits for us to walk our two pups, one of which is a 15 week old puppy & can be a handful at times! She was awesome all around and the dogs loved her! Very professional, friendly, courteous, trustworthy, punctual and has excellent communication - would highly recommend Sade to anyone looking for pet care services!”
About: I have two Swiss mountain dogs and have been caring for my older female for 10 years, and my male for 6 years. I know how to handle medically complex, stubborn and moody dogs through my own two! I love all dogs, and am not afraid of any large dogs since that is all I have ever known. When I am away at school, I dog sit for local families and volunteer at the animal shelter to take dogs out for the day to practice socialization skills! I am currently home from college and am not working so I can be available to your pets at any time that you need, and I am very flexible! I am open to whatever environment you have set up in your home for your dog(s), including crating, fenced in yards, electric fences, and houses where the dog is allowed anywhere or has restrictions.
“James was very attentive to all of our pups needs. He was also very flexible as some of our plans had changed on the fly. He was patient (Cash can be skittish) and made sure he was well taken care of. We would recommend James for any pet care needs!”
“I highly recommend Arassely to anyone looking for a professional and attentive pet sitter. From the start, communication was clear, prompt, and reassuring. She followed all care instructions closely and took the time to get to know my pet’s personality and routines. I received thoughtful updates and photos throughout the visits, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I returned home to a happy, well-cared-for pet and a tidy space. It’s clear that Arassely takes their responsibility seriously and truly cares about the animals they look after. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”
Pennington dog parents share their Rover experiences
Hope is such an amazing pet sitter and just a lovely person overall!!! I have two gerbils, which is a bit unconventional, but Hope took on the challenge with enthusiasm! She was communicative with me before, during, and after visits, always providing me with updates and asking questions to make sure my boys got the best possible care. It was such a relief to know my babies were well-fed, enriched, and happy while I was away. I will absolutely be using Hope’s services for future trips!!!
