“Nicole and Alexis were great with giving updates and sending pictures. Ruby seemed happy when I picked her up. Would use their services again.”
About: I am a lifetime lover and owner of dogs. While other kids watched Saturday morning cartoons, I watched shows about dog training and dog breeds. I grew up around dogs of all types and have always loved having one by my side. Our family recently lost our dog, and while I’m not ready to commit to dog ownership full time, I miss having one around and want to help other families. I have experience walking different types of dogs that have varying levels of leash skills, managing special dietary and medication needs and can adapt to their activity requirements. If you have a dog that’s used to being part of an active family, or at least around one, I could be a great fit for you. I shared availability that accommodates long weekend boarding needs. This is when I consistently work from home or am off so that I can be around and give your dog the best care. You can expect regular breaks and walks for your dog on my work from home days. On the weekends, I will include your dog in my family activities. While busy, I am at our home base a lot, and much of the activity involves walking the borough, going on mini adventures in nearby parks, or hanging at our house with friends. Including a furry guest into my family-centered lifestyle is easy (and fun!) for me to do. I have a fenced in yard, live in an extremely walkable neighborhood, and have a gated off mudroom when your dog needs a little more space or down time. My kids understand animal boundaries well for their age and are used to respecting their space. While they will not be responsible for your dog’s care, they will be around. My cat is suspicious, but typically tolerant of dogs once he gets used to them.
“I knew Kate before I found out that she was a dog sitter, which was great since I liked her from the start. Kate is mellow, kind, soft spoken, and easy to talk to. These are the perfect qualities that I wanted for my tender and loving Sunshine. Kate bonded with her in the most gentle way to make our special girl comfortable. Kate deserves not just 5 stars but accolades for making “us” relaxed/reassured with daily communication and such terrific pictures when we were away. I sincerely commend her and already told her about our next vacation. Anyone who wants or needs to be away from their dog should book Kate without hesitation!”
“Samantha and Roberto took such great care of my Roxy!!! We kept in touch with lots of pupdates, photos and videos! I knew my girl was in great hands!”
“Gregory was very responsive to my last minute request for boarding. My dog is little and anxious, and I was not sure how she would do with another dog as large as Koda, Gregory’s dog. But Koda turned out to be very well trained and had a lovely calm demeanor. Maya was very comfortable and I will definitely be using Gregory again!”
“Glenda is amazing with our Pomsky and is our go to sitter when we are away! Thank you for being so communicative and for taking care of our boy like he’s family!”
“Alexandra was amazing with Burt. She sent updates and pictures throughout the day and am so grateful when my flight got cancelled she was able to watch him an extra night/day. Burt looked like he was really living the life! Thank you!”
“She did a great job watching Rocco for the week! Rocco can be a little challenging at first, but she was patient with him and handled everything well. She kept us updated throughout his stay, and it was clear that he was well taken care of. We appreciate her taking the time to care for him and would definitely recommend her to others.”
“Rogelio was reliable and quick to respond to messages and requests for updates, which put my mind at ease while I was away. My dog had a great stay. Thank you!”
“Erika was an exceptional sitter! She took amazing care of Nino while I was out of town providing updates with pictures. She was very helpful and easy when it came to booking with her. Will definitely book her again!”
“Kona always has a great time with Erika! Erika sends pictures and updates to let us know our pup is getting cuddles and belly rubs while we’re gone.”
“Michelle watched our two pups and sugar glider for about 12 days. They just had the best time! She sent us pictures and updates almost daily, for which we were super thankful! Our pups had so much fun with her pups as well. Sadie didn't want to leave Ella, her new bestie, when we came to pick them up! Her house is super clean, she treated our dogs like her own, and she was awesome to deal with overall. Highly recommend her for your creatures' care!”
“Nicolle is responsible and was great at communicating up til and during Goji’s stay. Our dog has some anxiety and yet he seemed to settle in at Nicolle’s place very quickly. Will definitely book with Nicolle again!”
“We’ve had Audrey watch our dogs multiple times. Every time we pick them up, it’s evident that they feel right at home and adore Audrey. We would absolutely recommend her to everyone.”
“Booked Emily last minute to watch Brandy, and she did not disappoint! Emily was very communicative throughout booking process and during the stay. I will definitely look to use her in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rutledge
This is my first experience with Juliana and she was fantastic! My dog legs takes medication and she was able to follow the instructions very efficiently! She understood he had high anxiety. He was so comfortable staying with her and looks forward to staying with her again in the future! I love my experience with her and look forward to future stays with my fur baby.
Shelby and Robbie were a great place to leave our two dogs for an extended time. One has some serious anxiety towards other dogs and they handled the situation and came up with a plan for her. They let us know how they were doing and we are thankful for them! Would use them again!
Dave was an exceptional host to our boy Wendall. At our meet and greet he was patient and knew to let Wendall figure out the new space. Then while he was with Dave, he gave timely updates and let me know he was adjusting well. So grateful Dave was flexible with timing and came through for us when we needed it most. 5 out of 5 stars
Paloma was fantastic and her family is wonderful. She arranged a meet and greet for her big fluff of a dog and my tiny dachshund. They got along great. My dog was happy and comfortable and relaxed when I picked him up. He had a great time emptying their toy box! I will book again.
I had no doubt upon our first meeting that Dakota would have a very comfortable loving stay with Chrissy. She sent a ton of pictures and videos along the way, which was super nice to get while traveling so far away! I can’t wait for Chrissy and Dakota to hang out again! No
Marci is the best! She’s so kind, gentle, and was amazing with my cats. I truly felt so secure and at peace knowing she was watching my babies. She’s communicative, careful with your cats, and treats them as your own. She’s also really knowledgeable. I know my cats felt safe and happy being in her care. I couldn’t have asked for someone better to watch my cats. If you’re looking for a safe sitter, and a safe space, I highly recommend Marci!
First I used Sharna at the last minute on an holiday weekend and she and her family welcomed Poc and Poki with open arms and took them right into her home. She treated them as if they were her own. Sharna played with them and walked them every day. Poc and Poki were so happy there they didn’t want to leave when I picked them up. I would refer everyone to her if they want their pets cared for properly !
Dana is a great listener, followed our every expectations & then some. The pictures received didn't even look like the pugs were even over @ another home, which made us feel so relieved & relaxed🥰🤗. You could tell they were really cared for & loved as if they were her owned.
Saya and David are absolutely incredible pet sitters! They sent us plenty of updates about Cricket’s stay. They also were so wonderfully kind to her; snuggling her, playing fetch, basically treating her like she was their own family member. I’ve never felt so safe leaving my pup before!
Sarah was amazing! She was incredibly accommodating with our last minute booking and made the whole experience so easy. Our boy had the best time playing with her dog, Kobe! Sarah kept us updated throughout his stay and sent lots of pictures, which we really appreciated. He came home happy, well cared for, and completely worn out from all the playing and excitement! We would absolutely recommend Sarah and would happily book with her again.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
