“Savana is kind, professional, and brave. We had an emergency and had 6 dogs at my parents house. She never met our pups but with instructions she went in and took care of all 6! While the pup played a little to hard and hurt his sister, Savana cleaned her up well, lat us know about what was happening. So professional and kind about the situation. I would recommend her services to my family and friends!”
“This was my first time using Rover and also a first time allowing someone to do a drop in visit for our dogs. When I did my River search, Kelly’s profile was the first to pop up and was the most highly rated and I was impressed. From the moment I inquired, our back and forth communication, meet and greet and the actual drop in visit, she was professional, knowledgeable, and responsive during the entire process. She loved our dogs and they were well taken care of, which put me at ease about allowing a stranger into our home to care for our dogs. We will definitely be using her services again.”
“Kathryn was great. She willingly agreed to take care of my girls at 5 am. She arrived earlier than expected knowing my dogs need a little extra love and sent me a lot of pictures. We will definitely use Kathryn again to help care for my 11 year old pups.”
“Grayson was great. This was my first time leaving Tom for an extended period of time since he has developed some kidney issues. Between that and him being a Velcro cat, I was a little nervous. Grayson was extremely communicative and timely and alleviated any initial concerns I had. Tom is doing great today like we didn’t even miss a beat! I know he was in good hands with her and will definitely try to use her in the future!”
“We are so grateful to have crossed paths with Madelyn on Rover! She has watched our dogs twice now, both on short notice and has been so accommodating and flexible. She is now at the top of our list any time we need to consider a pet sitter for some time away! Every time our dogs spend time with her, we can tell they were loved and cared for, and our home is always very well taken care of! Madelyn truly goes above and beyond for her clients and is the best pet sitter we have ever had. She communicates thoroughly, and takes the time to make our pets comfortable- especially our special needs deaf dog. I Would absolutely recommend Madelyn to anyone looking for truly exceptional and dedicated service from a person who will love on your pets like her own. She’s truly a step above the rest!”
“Jessica took such great care of Gus and made our first rover experience amazing. I’m so grateful!”

“Michael and Tracy were wonderful from the moment we met! They were understanding and accommodating to us during the walk through where I introduced them to our animals and discussed their feeding schedule. And we returned home to everything looking perfect, they tidied up after our animals and everyone was well fed and happy. We have 4 cats and 3 young indoor rabbits, all cared for and shown love. I would 100% call upon Michael and Tracy again for more drop in visits in the future!”

About: I love taking care of animals. Animal energy is something I love having in my life. I have had dogs and cats since I was born. Now I have my very own Border Collie named Iris who I love with all my heart. I was always interested in animal care bathing walking cooking my own dog special food. I recently made the decision to leave my place of employment after 25 years. So now I can commit to animal care as much or as little as I can. I don't have a routine yet but hopefully I will establish one soon. I have done numerous overnights with up to 4 dogs. I ask the owners for a printed copy of each dogs habits, routine and exercise preferences. Also if the dog has any leash or food aggression.
About: I’ve worked in all forms of animal rescue as well as pet retail after growing up on a farm where we rescued everything from dogs and cats to horses, pigs, possums, bats, etc. I bring this experience to everything I do and care for all animals as if they’re my own. Pet care is my daily routine at home and doing so for others would be an easy extension of this as I find it calming I have a wrap around deck, well leash trained dogs and cats that do not go outside. The rest of my pets are not the type that go outside.
About: I have been house sitting since I was 14 years old. From homes with 2 large puppies to homes with 4 dogs and 7 cats ranging in ages. I love animals and spend a lot of time working with animals with my sister who is Veterinarian. I am a full time nursing student with a full time job. I am completely available for your pet sitting needs from Friday through Monday. Your pets will have my complete attention when in my care. Not only will I tend to their needs, I will play with them, and show them love.
“Dominique was prompt and very pleasant. She took time to care for.my cats.”
“First time using Ashley for a drop in visit to feed our 2 cats while out of town for the holidays. She showed up on time and cleaned the litter boxes, fed them and gave them fresh water. Will definitely book her again!”
About: I have taken care of a wide variety of dogs and cats throughout my life for friends and family members! As a dog and cat owner myself I feel confident in my abilities to give your pets the love and care they deserve. I am an athletic trainer with a high school locally and I typically have every morning and early afternoon available or late evenings as well. I do not typically stay over night for house sitting as I do have my own animals but I will always make sure your animals are taken care of appropriately and timely! I have a puppy currently who is very friendly with other animals that I can bring along to play and walk or leave home if the animal is not friendly with other animals. In a clients home I follow specific instructions for each animal whether it be feeding or walking however the owner prefers.
About: I have taken care of close friends and families pets for years and I have decided to expand and see if anyone else needs care for their animals! I have plenty of experience working with animals. I started out as a farm aid at Turtleback zoo a couple years ago and left to go work with marine mammals in Florida. When I came back to NJ I went to Cape May and worked as a full time seasonal animal keeper. After my 6 months were up I went back to Turtleback zoo as a Relief Keeper. I left the zoo field December 2021 and started working part time at a local vet clinic where I work with all size dogs and cats. I know how to give medications also if your dog or cat have any special needs! I currently work full time, first shift for a laboratory. I also work part time at a vets office but when I am dog sitting I do not just do that your pets have more of my attention and are my priority. If I were to stay at your house I can walk your dog around your neighborhood or take them on local hiking trails! Whatever works best! I am here to care for your animals just as I would my own. My dogs Cooper and Ginger are very spoiled and I can guarantee yours will be also! Depending on the needs of your pet will be the deciding factor of our daily routine. We can talk about that more in details if you decide to message me! I have two mini dachshunds that are friendly and love to walk/hike! If your dog is friendly and adventurous I would bring them along for the fun!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12. When I lived with my dad, we had 2 chihuahuas and 2 pit mixes. I’ve also had bunnies, fish, and birds. I’ve taken care of a chinchilla for a friend. I also used to have a guinea pig named Asher! I am experienced with different animals. I am self employed and have school online for real estate at my own pace, so I am free pretty much any day and any time unless I have an appointment that day! Then I can work after! I can either be a cuddly companion and or play with them by playing fetch or taking them out on walks! I will make sure to keep the house nice and clean while I stay in the home of my clients!😁
