“I can't recommend Emily enough! She took exceptional care of my puppy during his first time being away from home. Not only did she provide plenty of love and attention, but she also went above and beyond by giving him a bath after he had an accident. Her kindness and professionalism made the experience stress-free for both of us. I’m so grateful and will definitely be booking her again!”
“Jazmine (and her boyfriend Norman) took wonderful care of our 12-year-old black Lab, Judy, who is a cancer survivor and a bit particular—sweet, but needy and not a fan of other dogs. Jazmine cared for her in her home, made sure she had her morning medicine, and sent us daily updates with snuggle photos that made us feel completely at ease. Judy was clearly loved and beautifully looked after. Warm, professional, and trustworthy—highly recommend.”
“Very friendly and communicative. Sent photo updates. Very quick response time. Oakley seemed so happy to be there and got along with her family well. My dog had an uncharacteristic accident (pee) over night and Ana handled this without issue or frustration. She helped Oakleys settle in and feel comfortable so this didn’t happen again!”
“We would like to express our deepest gratitude to Sharon and her family. When we first met with Sharon all of out worries immediately disappeared. She is very kind and responsible. Our Cindy felt at home right away. We never had a reason to worry throughout our vacation as Sharon was always in touch. We received daily photographs and reports on how our pet was feeling. All our recommendations were followed. We were very happy with Sharon. Cindy even came home with gifts 😊 Thank you for taking care of our pet while we were away!!! We will definitely contact you again!”
“Elaine was great with my pup Nugget. She sent daily pictures and updated me each evening about Nugget's day. It was wonderful to be able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my fur baby was in such good hands. Will definitely book Elaine again!”
“Kristie was super friendly and took very good care of my dog Snow while we were away for 15 days! She went above and beyond and kept me informed. My dog was super cozy when I went to pick her up. Highly recommend!!!”
“Jason and Brit are so sweet. They treated my Cayenne like their own. And they really seem to know all the personalities of the dogs they care for. Can’t say enough good things about them. We will use them again for sure!”
“Marleny takes such great care of my dog, Gates, while I’m away! She makes sure he has all the love and cuddles and treats her like he’s her own. She always sends pictures and updates to let me know he’s loving life!”
“Yuli and her family were amazing and welcomed Buddy into their family with open arms. We got tons of updates, pictures and videos and it was clear he was so happy and relaxed with them. I appreciate them so much and will definitely use her again!”
“Joanne was amazing with our doggo. He tried to go on a hunger strike but she completely got him to eat…he had lots of walks and love!! Would absolutely have him stay with her again!!”
“Bodhi loved staying with Melissa and Angel! He was well taken care of and had a lot of fun with their son and the other dogs they were watching. I'd definitely reach out to them again to watch him.”
“Thankful for Matt! We had to leave the area for two nights and last minute reached out to see if he had the availability for our two dogs. We were able to do a meet and greet with his dog that very next day and everything went well. His communication was great and he sent photo updates throughout the stay to check in which was much appreciated. Highly recommend!!”
About: I provide a calm caring and reliable experience for dogs of all ages. I have hands-on experience working with energetic puppies helping with basic training routines and plenty of playtime as well as older dogs who need a gentler pace, patience, and attentive care. Whether it is keeping up with a playful pup or supporting a senior dogs comfort and mobility I focus on creating a safe stress-free environment where every dog feels understood and well cared for. Pet care fits well into my routine because I'm a stay at home mom with a flexible schedule. Morning walks and feedings can happen alongside getting the kids ready, while midday visits offer a natural break and a chance to reset. Puppies bring energy and short training moments, while older dogs fit well into calmer, more relaxed periods. Overall, it blends easily into my daily home life without needing a separate schedule. I enjoy going on walks, going on hikes, and engaging in fun playtime with pets. I am comfortable handling feeding and daily care to keep your pets happy and well looked after. I will care for your pets with the same love and attention I give my own.
“Amanda was wonderful and we would be happy to have her sit for our babies again when we are in the area! She and her husband have a lovely set up with a beautiful front yard. And I know that their easy-going and relaxed manner gets conveyed to the animals in their care.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Christine. Our dog stayed at her home for two nights and was so well cared for. Christine sent us pictures throughout the day and kept us consistently updated, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that her whole family truly loved and welcomed our dog as part of their home. We couldn’t have asked for better care and would absolutely recommend Christine to anyone looking for a kind, attentive, and trustworthy sitter. 🐾❤️”
About: I have had a dog since I was a kid. When I got married , we adopted our first dog Sonny from a rescue. Shortly after that we took one of the puppies from my sister in laws litter, Bandit. They both brought such love and happiness into our family and were devastated when we lost them both. Looking for a job where I could give my love to other’s animals. I currently am unemployed, but looking to be a full time dog sitter/ dog walker. I am a stay at home mom, hoping to bring some extra income to my household. My typical day starts at 7:30 with school drop off for my son and drop off at 8:40 for my daughter. With pick ups between 2-3:30. Once school ends my hours become more available.
“Johanny is very responsive, takes good care of Oreo. She is able to accept our booking just a few days before Christmas, which helped us a lot in planning our family trip! Really appreciated! Her family is loving and caring ! Oreo had a lot of fun!”
“Michelle was great and her farm is really inviting for dogs of any age! She sent us pictures of our dogs while we were away and we were able to communicate with her at any time we needed to. Overall, it was a great experience thanks to Michelle and her husband!”
“David is very awesome, had a great time with my dog and my dog had a great time with him, plus he is an amazing photographer. The pictures he took and sent to me from his stay are truly beautiful. Thank you for the wonderful memories.”

Phillipsburg dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kelsey and her family are absolute lifesavers! I have never left my dog overnight in four years—he is truly like my child—so I was incredibly nervous about being away from him. However, Kelsey made me feel so comfortable from the very start. Because of a family emergency with my brother in the hospital, I had to book her back-to-back, and she was so sweet and genuinely caring about my situation. She sent me the most amazing, cute photos of her with my dog, which kept my mind at ease while I was away. It’s clear they treated him like a member of their own family; he was so happy and "tuckered out" when he came home from all the playtime! If you are looking for someone who is compassionate, professional, and treats your fur baby with total love, Kelsey and her family are the absolute best. I cannot recommend them enough!
This is the second time we have trusted Emily with our dog Jenny and it was just as great as the last time! Emily made sure that Jenny was comfortable and helped ensured that she adjusted well. We also received many pics of her while we were away which was an extra peace of mind. She’s the best!
Sarah is my go-to sitter for my dog anytime I go out of town for about 2 years now. I have used her multiple times and I'm always satisfied with the quality of care and service she provides. I recently used her in May for week and last week for a trip as well. Will also be using her in October. I highly recommend!
