1. Judy L.

“Judy was amazing!! Very patient, detail oriented, and accommodating. I would book her again and recommend to other dog parents in a heartbeat! She even gave my pup Tux a bath and his coat was incredibly soft and fluffy!”




2. Richard G.

“Rich is always so sweet with our pups. We always feel confident leaving them with him and his wife for a long weekend stay or for a day of doggy daycare.”


3. Magdalena P.

“Magdalena was amazing! It is one of the best, if not the best experience I had in Rover! She is very sweet and adorable! Thank you so much!!!”


4. Yufei C.

“Yufei was so accommodating to my schedule with pickup and drop off times. She was such a pleasure to work with and my dog had a really nice time. I got lots of picture and video updates which was really nice as well. If I am in the area again and need a sitter I will definitely be using Yufei again?”


5. Rosa C.


“Rosa was absolutely fantastic! It’s always nerve racking when you leave your fur baby with a new sitter, but we had a wonderful experience with Rosa. She stayed in constant communication sending pics and videos, and even spoiled Rover with toys and special walks to the store. We will definitely use Rosa again and highly recommend her. She went above and beyond in every way, including pick up and drop off service.”


6. Melissa V.

“Melissa and her husband watched over my dog, Charlie, while I was out of town for a long weekend. I had recently moved to the area and have not had to use sitters that weren’t family in the past, so Charlie had some heightened anxiety. Melissa was wonderful and patient with Charlie, and helped to ease my stress over Charlie’s anxiety. She treated Charlie like one of her own, provided regular and thorough photos, videos and updates, and went above and beyond to way make him comfortable when he had some tummy issues. Would highly recommend using Melissa for your dog care needs.”


7. Charmil M.

“Charmil is awesome. He sent pics and updates almost daily. We will definitely be sending Chrissy back again and again.”


8. Yenis D.

“Yenis was wonderful! She took great care of our pup and it was clear that he had a nice time with her and her dog. We would absolutely use her again!”


9. monika m.

“Our usual Rover was unavailable and we needed a last minute dog sitter for the day. Monika was available and we’re so happy we met her! She was super responsive, happy to do a meet and greet before we confirmed the booking, and sent us lots of photos of our dog (who doesn’t really like other dogs by the way) playing with her dog Lexi and son! She always let us know how Nate was doing and was good about asking questions for when to feed him, his bathroom schedule, etc. She has a semi fenced in yard and lives on a quiet street convenient to Route 15 if you’re driving that way. Would be happy to have her watch our dog again in the future!”




10. Rosediane H.

“Rosedianne was extremely warm, sensitive and attentive caregiver to Ruby. Ruby was so calm and happy when she stayed with Rosediane. We highly recommend her! Angela ”


11. Alyssa T.
About: I’m new to Rover so for $20 off your first booking with me, use Promo Code: ALYSSG53359 Although I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to pet sitting! I had my first dog at 16 and have spent my life with multiple dogs! I have experience in dogs with tons of energy and also dogs who love to just chill and cuddle! I am lucky enough to have a flexible remote schedule during the week, and also live right by tons of walking trails! This gives me the ability to give a ton of attention to your fur baby, ensuring we go on walks, play with toys, cuddle, and of course nap! I have a super energetic and friendly Shihtzu named Treble and he just loves playing and running around, jumping on the couch, and going for walks. I will make sure I overly communicate and follow any instructions you need, as I know as a pet parent myself I worry anytime I’m not with him. So I make sure you’re comfortable and feel your baby is safe with me and feels like my home is theirs! I also make sure we can set up a meet and greet before your dogs first stay!


12. ERIKA T.

“Erika and her family were absolutely amazing! She asked all the right questions about our furbaby. She sents lots of pictures. She was very interested in getting to know everything about our dog so she would be comfortable in her home. I highly recommend her! Very grateful she was able to take care of our dog! Very kind and loving.”


13. Leah G.
“I have worked with Leah on several occasions and can only say good things. She is always prompt and incredible with my animals. If you want someone reliable, caring, and compassionate look no further.”


14. Stephanie V.

“Stephanie was great! We needed last minute help with our dog during thanksgiving, and she helped us when we were in a bind! She had a fun group of dogs with her, and ours seems to have a good time. Thanks Stephanie!”


15. LisaLeigh R.

“Lisa was a fantastic sitter for our dog while we were in town for a wedding! She was very communicative and sent lots of photos and is clearly very experienced with dogs. Our girl is shy around new people but seemed to settle in super easily with Lisa and her family. Highly recommend Lisa for all your pup-sitting needs!”




16. Elvia C.

“Elvia and family were terrific! I felt at peace knowing Brandy was in good hands with such a great family. Highly recommend and will most definitely book with her again in the future!”


17. Benan C.

“Benan and Justin are a great couple who are easy-going and truly the best. They took care of my dog while I was on vacation and kept me updated with photo's and details throughout the days. Samson was well taken care of, comfortable, and totally occupied. He was on a supplement which needed to be given every morning and they also helped me with that with no issues. Every single interaction was reassuring that my good boi was being well cared for as if he were their own. I will absolutely rebook with them for my next trip. Thank you SO MUCH Justin and Benan!! You guys are the best!”


18. Kevin H.
“Kevin is great with my dog, who is always very excited to see him! Kevin is timely, responsible, and a great communicator. He will show your dog plenty of love and care!”


19. Karine A.


“Karine is the best sitter I have used! She was very patient and took really good care of my nervous Aussie shepherd. Asked question to make sure she was always well taken care of and safe. I loved all the updates and pics of ruby playing and getting along with the family. I trust her and highly recommend her to take good care of your fur babies. Thank you Karine!!”


20. Kevin C.

“I left my high energy dog, Marley with Kevin for one night. I can tell he definitely enjoyed his short stay. Kevin was very good with providing updates and pictures/videos. I've read some reviews about some sitters being rude if there's some issues. Kevin was very professional in handling and informing me about Marley's issues. This was only my third time using a sitter and Marley is still very new to it but this was by far the best experience I've had.”
