“I am so glad we found Nicole! She is so comfortable and nurturing with my two dogs. Treats them like her own babies. I have no worries while I’m away and she is taken care of our boys. I would highly recommend Nicole.”

“Miranda is very caring! I fully trust her caring for my puppies (3 and 6 month old puppies), she plays and interacts with them the whole time she is with them. Miranda provides very detailed reports”

“1,000% recomend Sam! This was my first time using this app. So I was a little apprehensive. I was leaving for a week and needed someone to watch my three cats.. my fur babies. As soon as I met Sam, I knew I chose the right person. She was warm great personality, big smile! I went away for a week, and Sam was on point checked in with pictures and updates every visit. By the third visit, my cats had warmed up to her and allowed her to pet them which warmed my heart! I felt so happy that I found a pet care giver, who could make my pets, feel safe, warm, and loved! thank you so much, Sam! I’ll be using you real soon again! 😀🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛”

About: I have been a pet owner for over five years with two cats and one dog that I love so much back in my home state! With that I have over five years of pet care experience. While in college here i’m Chicago, my friends and teammates trust me to walk, feed, and keep their pets safe while working or away on vacation! Available for Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Weekends as well! I am pretty flexible with time so just let me know what times work best for you and if you need me to take care of your pet a little longer! Pets are family! So I ensure to monitor them closely and pick up on any signs, issues, and concerns that may negatively impact their safety. I always as pet owners if there is anything specific in their home or on walks that I need to look out for. Such as things their pet may tend to get into or walking routes that have potential hazards.
About: I have lived with both cats and dogs my whole life and have always loved being around animals. I have experience caring for pets for family members while they were on vacation, including feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they felt comfortable and cared for. I understand how important pets are to a family, and I will treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because I am graduating college in December and most of my classes are online. I also work part-time, and my job is partially remote, which gives me a very flexible schedule. Because of this flexibility, I am available most days and can adjust my availability to fit pet care needs, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings when needed. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in every pet care situation. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walking, medication, and routines to keep pets comfortable and stress-free in their familiar environment. I make sure doors are secure, water is always fresh, and pets are never left in unsafe situations. I treat every pet with patience, respect, and close attention to their individual needs.
About: Hi, My name is Ashley! I can care for an animal in my house if needed, I have a large, fully fenced in yard where your dog can play! I work from home Mondays and Fridays so I can give extra walks and attention on those days. Let me know if you have any questions! I have a dog myself, so pet care fits into my daily life! We have a huge fenced in yard so they can spend plenty of time outside. Make sure the pet is comfortable with my when I enter or a home or while they are at my home. I also have a camera in my home so I can monitor my dog while away.
About: With over 20 years of experience, caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’ve been around dogs since I was 7 years old, starting with family pets and eventually helping neighbors with their dogs throughout middle school and into adulthood. Even today, I still help friends and neighbors care for their dogs and cats regularly. I also had the opportunity to care for my own cat for 4 years, which gave me a strong understanding of feline personalities, routines, and comfort needs as well. After taking some time away in 2025 from Rover due to family circumstances, I’m excited to be back in 2026 doing something I genuinely enjoy, providing pets with a safe, loving, and fun environment where they feel at home. I currently work Full-Time from home - So I am always present, and able to keep your pet on a nice schedule regarding food, play-time, and potty breaks. I'm available Monday-Sunday anytime that works best for you My home features a downstairs area where pets can roam freely. Also my development offers plenty of walking space. Plus, there are many parks nearby that provide a great spot for your pets to enjoy some running time with my family and me.
“David was very caring & open when doing his drop in visits. He took care of my dogs & walked them when it was in the negatives & had no complaints. I appreciated his thorough communication & attention to detail. If we weren’t moving we would book David every time!”
About: I’m a single woman who recently lost my dog. I travel a lot for work but would love the companionship of a dog when I am home. I love all dogs and am truly looking forward to having some temporary fur babies as guests. I had a chihuahua and a Bassett hound. Both passed recently and it was heart wrenching. I’m looking to share companionship with all kinds of dogs during my weekends and some week days. My home is animal free. Your fur baby will receive all of my attention. There will be walks and plenty of time spent in my fenced in yard. I’m only accepting house broken dogs. I look forward to chatting with you about dog sitting your fur baby soon. Thank you.
“Jessica took great care of our nervous little scaredy cat while we were away! We’ve booked her more than once, and we look forward to more bookings in the future.”

“Gabrielle was amazing with my babies and helped me with a last minute sitting which I am incredibly thankful for! Great communication - extremely thoughtful - my grumpy senior kitty loved her. I can’t say enough good things - thank you so much!”

“Rosabella was great with Loki. She definitely became his friend. She was consistent in her visits time and very thorough. She spent a lot of time giving him attention and love. I highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve had cats my entire life and have always helped out taking care of my friend’s cats and dogs. When it comes to taking full care of other people’s pets I’ve done a couple of pet sitting jobs in the past year or so. While home from college I have free time almost everyday for most of the day! While I may need to go home to check on my own pets or family I can usually spend most of the day with your pets. I’m a bit of a night owl so morning can be rough but I thrive in the late morning and afternoon! I can’t have pets come over to my house because of my cats, but when at your house I can always be there for your animal! Whether they are playing or just want company while lounging at home!
About: I'm a School Counselor with 20+ years experience taking care of others, including my own children, and 30+ years taking care of my own pets. While people are my 'jam', animals are my HEART. I've spent summers grooming dogs and have very few regrets in life - except not pursuing becoming a vet. My life took me in another direction...ANY chance I get I spend it with animals, usually dogs. I walk my neighborhood daily, and would say at least 20% of the time I'm finding a stray dog and returning it to its rightful owner. I can help out with medication administration, nail clipping, etc...and just LOVE spending time cuddling/walking/feeding/taking care of pets, especially dogs. I've trained all of my own pets, including crate training. Pets are where it's AT - now take me to yours and you won't be disappointed! Summers are wide open for me. During the school year, I can be available after 3:30pm daily and up until 7:30pm for drop ins. I’m home most weekends with the occasional soccer game or track meet obligation for my son. I prefer to plan in advance to best meet your pet(s) needs - at least a few days. I have a fenced in yard but am happy to walk your pet. I provided daily oral medication administration for my own 16 year old dog, groomed her, clipped her nails and provided an enormous amount of love and support for her. She was my children's heart. I've owned 4 dogs and 6 cats in my lifetime and enjoyed every single minute of it. In your home, I will care for your babies exactly as I would my own - with care, love and compassion. I will follow any instructions you have and will be happy to help in any other way possible with your pet.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for over 30 years. I currently have 7 rescue dogs who range in age from 3-16 and weigh 6-26 lbs. I’m also an active foster for the Burlington County Animal Alliance. I’ve fostered close to 30 dogs this past year alone. I currently work full time, but am home Fridays Saturday and Sundays. The days I’m home I will take excellent care of any babies I’m dog sitting. I have a spacious backyard with a secure 6-foot fence, perfect for safe playtime. My home is full of happy pups who love making new friends. I do have crates available if needed, but most dogs prefer snuggling in bed with me or relaxing on one of the many cozy dog beds throughout the house.
“Davene is a wonderful cat sitter! She just took care of my three kitties over Thanksgiving. I appreciated how quick she was to respond to my request and her offer of an initial visit to meet the cats and get our instructions in person. She was very gentle and sweet with the kitties, and I could tell that they really liked her. Davene followed all instructions and left the place neat and clean. I highly recommend her and look forward to booking with her again.”
