This was my first time using Rover and Elizabeth was terrific watching my 2 dogs for 9 days. Communication was great and our dogs took to her immediately.

Gabriella did a fantastic job with our energetic terrier, Zoey. She was incredibly accommodating about last minute scheduling and went out of her way to make sure that Zoey was well taken care of. Highly recommend!

About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life, but my first pup, Carter, truly taught me what it means to be a devoted dog owner. Now with my corgi, Moose, I’m constantly reminded how rewarding it is to care for and advocate for our furry friends. Since I was nine, I’ve loved walking, playing, grooming, and cuddling dogs. I’ve watched my relatives’ pups countless times and always make sure every dog feels happy, safe, and loved. Dogs are loyal, adorable family members & I’ll treat yours like one of my own! I work full-time, but I work remotely Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I get home from work on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5:30pm. I am available for boarding on the weekends starting on Thursday after 6pm until Monday evenings around 8pm. We live in the lower level of my parents’ home, which includes a fully fenced yard on over 1.5 acres - perfect for playtime and fresh air! My corgi, Moose, stays downstairs with us, while my parents’ dog, Billy, lives upstairs, so they can easily be kept separate. There are children upstairs (ages 13, 11, and 10), and if your pup interacts with them, I’ll always be there to supervise. Moose is 5 years old and loves being around other dogs! He does have some classic corgi herding instincts and can be a bit enthusiastic at times, so I’m happy to separate them as needed based on your preferences and how the dogs get along. Our home has plenty of divided spaces, so your pup will always have a comfortable, safe spot to relax.

We recently entrusted our dog Maeve to Jill, and we couldn't be more pleased with the care she received. Jill not only kept our home tidy but also formed a special bond with Maeve, ensuring she was happy and well-cared for. We highly recommend Jill for her exceptional service and genuine love for dogs!

Vee is amazing. She was so thoughtful and attentive to our dog Peter. He really enjoyed his time with her sitting him. Vee was very communicative and shared plenty of photos. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her.

Cate is the best!! Cate has walked and house-sat for our 10 year old terrier chihuahua mix, and our dog absolutely adores Cate. When we came back from our trip, the house was so clean and our dog was happy and healthy. It’s a relief to know we can trust Cate with our girl.

Boryana took amazing care of our senior pitbull, Brady. She was very patient with his quirks and eccentricities (e.g. he has acquired a habit of lying down for rests mid-walk). He often seems a little out of sorts after we come back from a long trip, but this time he was very relaxed and happy. Communication was top notch and our house was left in perfect condition. We can't recommend Boryana highly enough, and hope she'll be available to take care of Brady again in the future!

About: What sets me apart is that pet care has been a natural part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up dog-sitting and cat-sitting for friends and neighbors, so caring for animals isn’t just something I do - it’s something I genuinely love. I’ve learned how to read different personalities, build trust quickly, and make pets feel safe, relaxed, and happy. Your furry friend gets the same attention, patience, and affection I’ve always given to the pets I grew up caring for. I have a hybrid work schedule that lets me work from home three days a week. My hours are 9–5, but I’m able to step out during lunch when needed. My weekends are completely open, with no commitments to work around, so I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention they need. Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in a client’s home, I make sure their routine and environment stay as familiar and stress-free as possible. In your home, I follow your instructions closely - from feeding schedules and litter box care to preferred toys, safe spaces, and any special habits your pet has. I take the time to learn their personality so they feel secure and understood. I’m always careful with doors, windows, and anything that could pose a risk, and I provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: My first sentence was “I like cows!” so you can guess that I have always loved animals. I have taken care of babies, houseplants, houses, dogs, and cats and am a trusted caregiver to all creatures. I work part-time at a museum, so my schedule is flexible. Filling in the rest of my week taking care of animals is the best use of my time I can think of! I am one of those people who talks to animals constantly. I also do a lot of activities, such as crochet, where the experience is improved by having an animal sit next to you. Your pet will never feel alone.

About: I have some experience with dogs. I don’t mind cleaning up after any dog. I also enjoy going for walks and playing fetch with dogs. I am currently a college student at Rider University. I have almost full availability to care for your precious fur baby. I’m available both before and after class as well as many nights. I can easily care for your fur baby with any directions left. I will be able to spend time and play with them while also making sure they are comfortable.

Megan is hands down the best sitter who has ever watched Cujo while I've been out of town. Quick to respond to a last minute request, took the time to do a meet&greet, asked excellent questions, and Cujo could not have been in better hands. In all the adorable pictures Megan sent, I could see that he was having an absolute blast. The apt was spotless when I got home and Cujo seemed genuinely bummed that his new BFF had to leave. I cannot recommend her highly enough and she will be my go-to for any trips I have to take in the future.

Joey took amazing care of my kitten while I was away. I came home to a happy, relaxed, and healthy cat. I am SO grateful to know my little guy was in caring hands. Joey took care of all of his needs and went above and beyond by giving him lots of attention, care, and cozy vibes. They were great with communicating and sending pics-you can trust them with any of your pet needs. THANK YOU, JOEY!!

This was my first time using Rover in my new home and Faelynn couldn't have made it any easier. She was super responsive and took great care of my 110 pound Rottweiler. She also looked after the house and kept me updated throughout my trip. Faelynn will be my go to dog sitter now (provided she isn't booked up!). Highly recommend!
