“Once again, we entrusted our energetic pooch, Truman, to Kevin's care, and once again, we couldn't be happier! Kevin's professionalism, patience, and genuine dedication to Truman shone through, just like the first time. Despite Truman's slight behavioral quirks, Kevin expertly managed him, ensuring he received the exercise and attention he needed. Returning home to find Truman relaxed and content speaks volumes about Kevin's dedication and skill as a pet sitter. Regular updates and photos kept us reassured throughout our trip. We wholeheartedly recommend Kevin to anyone seeking a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thanks, Kevin, for another fantastic experience!”


“Summar was great with my foster dog with separation distress on a day I needed to go to the office. She conducted a meeting the day before to meet the dog and go over the routine and any other things she should know. The day of the pet sitting, everything went smoothly. She followed the routine and sent updates with great pictures. I highly recommend Summar because she is passionate about pets, is customer oriented, and I could tell that my foster dog had made a new friend!”


“Mark was great with our dogs! Took them all around town, and spent some time to win over our nervous younger dog. He took fine pup pictures as well. He took good care of the house.”

“Nicole was amazing with our two dogs. They were well loved and cared for while we were out of town, and our pups loved her! Would highly recommend her. Thank you so much!”



“Gabrielle was the perfect housesitter for our dog. They met with us ahead of time to walk through the house and meet our dog, showed up on time, gave frequent updates, walked our dog regularly, took fantastic care of our house and cleaned up after themselves, and were extremely communicative and responsive throughout our trip. We would definitely work with Gabrielle again and highly recommend them to others.”

“Shamaurie was by far the best sitter we’ve hired since moving to the area in 2021. He went above and beyond, not just with our dog, but also with our home and making our return from travels really wonderful. It was the first time I really felt like my dog was getting the care and attention he needs, and I will book Shamaurie every chance I get in the future. He is truly wonderful!”


About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my lifelong experience caring for feline and canine companions. Growing up, I lovingly cared for six cats, handling everything from daily feedings and grooming to litter box maintenance. My heart has a special place for senior pets, inspired by my own senior dachshund, Lincoln. His health challenges, from medications to specialized care, taught me the nuances of senior pet care. While my home is quieter now since his passing, it has created a new chapter for me to share my experience and love with your furry family members, offering compassionate boarding services for dogs and cats of all ages and needs. My work-from-home schedule on Mondays and Fridays provides ample opportunity for walks, playtime, and cuddles with your pets during the day. Weekends are entirely dedicated to pet care, whether it's a long walk in the park, a fun playdate, or simply enjoying some quiet companionship at home. I live in a pet-friendly one-bedroom apartment in a lovely neighborhood with easy access to green spaces for walks. I believe in providing a loving and attentive environment for my pets, which is why I only accept one pet at a time. This allows me to give them all the love, attention, and individual care they deserve.

“Sun was fantastic! Not only was she loving with our dogs, she was a wonderful houseguest. I would highly recommend Sun and look forward to booking with her again!”


“It takes a patient and calm person to patiently befriend and gain the trust of our dog. Sharon was great and adaptable and was also so great about keeping us updated on things while we were away. She also left a very sweet card and photos for us.”


“Carol is incredible. She put my shy dogs immediately at ease, got my picky eater to eat without fail and kept me updated daily. We felt very comfortable every minute we were away. We highly recommend.”


“Anna was a superb house/dog sitter. She sent us daily photos of our dog, watered the garden occasionally and used our car to take our dog to a dogcare camp she attends weekly. We highly recommend her. She is responsible and quick to respond to texts.”


“Maria took wonderful care of my pup while I was away. My dog can be a bit nervous, but I came home to a relaxed and happy dog. I really appreciated the updates, photos, and thoughtful communication throughout the stay. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate, especially if you have an older or more sensitive dog. We’ll definitely be booking again!”


About: Hi everyone, My name is Rachel and I am a huge animal lover who is passionate about providing the best care and companionship for our furry friends. I have been pet sitting for close to 7 years now, through Wag and also with Rover. Experience in administering medicine for both cats and dogs and currently in process to be First Aid certified for pets as well! (As of July 2025) I grew up with animals, as I had taken care of my own dog-Misia, a coackapoo, for 10 years and my mother with her Havanese dog, Tomo, of 4 years (and on-going!) I lead an active lifestyle and take dogs out for a long walk or find fun ways to play with cats too. I want to make sure I can provide a tailored approach to make sure your pets' needs are met as a photo enthusiast, happy to take pictures and provide an update throughout a boarding and/or a sitting especially. Coming up close to 7 years of being a pet sitter for Wag, Rover and individual clients, I would be honored to be your reliable pet sitter! Currently my schedule is very open and flexible. I can accommodate a boarding at my apartment, as well as pet sitting/drop-in visits, as well for all days of the week. *Note for Boarding requests* I have another 4-year old Havanese dog (very friendly) at my apartment. Happy to have another dog for boarding but please read this note before booking a boarding request!** Thank you 😊 First and foremost what's important is that I understand the client's needs and their instructions on how to take care of their pets. Once you book my service, I would be more than happy to do an in-person meet and greet or a video call. If there are any further instructions (beyond what is listed on the Rover app), then I am happy to provide my personal email address if you would like to e-mail the instructions. These are the steps I take to ensure I can take care of the clients' pets in a safe and trusting environment.

About: Your dog’s happiness and well-being are my top priority! With a passion for pups and years of experience, I provide loving, reliable care tailored to your dog's unique personality. Whether it’s energetic playtime, peaceful walks, or cozy cuddle sessions, I’ll make sure your furry friend feels safe, loved, and excited while you're away! Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily routine, as I believe in creating a structured yet flexible schedule that keeps both my pets and me happy. I care for pets with the same attention and love, whether I’m walking them or providing drop-in visits, and I adjust my approach based on your dog's needs. Dog Walking: During walks, I ensure your dog gets plenty of exercise and mental stimulation while following their pace and preferences. I’ll take them on their favorite routes, whether it’s a calm stroll or a more active walk to burn off energy. I keep them safe by using the proper leash and equipment, and I always watch for any signs of fatigue or discomfort. Every walk is an opportunity for fun, exploration, and bonding! Drop-In Visits: For drop-in visits, I focus on keeping your dog happy and comfortable in your absence. I’ll check in at the scheduled times to provide fresh water, offer a quick bathroom break, and spend some quality time playing or cuddling. I also make sure to stick to any feeding schedules or special instructions you’ve provided, keeping your dog's routine as consistent as possible. Whether it's a walk or a drop-in visit, I ensure that your dog feels loved, safe, and well cared for while you’re away!

Somerset pet parents share their Rover experiences
Summar is the best! We forgot to schedule dog-sitting this past weekend and she was willing to help us out in a pinch. Our dog was thrilled to have more time with Summar - he loves her and she takes amazing care of him and our home while we are away. Thank you Summar!

Karachi provided excellent car for dog and home while we were away on vacation. She was very responsive to my messages and she helped to coordinate a trip to the vet when our dog exhibited some health issues. She left our home in great shape. I highly recommend her for both dog and house sitting.

Johanna dog sat in our home and was great. Our dog is usually exhibits signs of separation anxiety when we return after an extended trip. But not this time. Johanna clearly cared for him. She sent photos regularly, was always timely, communicated well, and our pup was very comfortable when we arrived home. Our house was left spotless, she even washed the linens. I would most definitely use Johanna again and recommend her to others.

Alaina was amazing with Pancho. He can be super anxious, especially with new people, but he warmed up to her almost immediately. We were traveling and signal was very spotty, but knowing he was in good hands was such a relief. We will definitely be booking Alaina again - so so thankful we found her!

Erica did a wonderful job staying with our 13-year old dog and in our house. She was super communicative throughout our extended absence with updates and photos. We returned to a very happy dog and spotless home. This is our second outstanding experience with Erica for extended stays. She is caring and careful. We recommend her 100 percent.

Anna is a fantastic dog sitter. Very experienced with dogs, calm and sweet in how she handles them. My two Springers were happy guys when she stayed for almost a week. Sent pics and quick texts as requested. House was is immaculate when I returned from vacation. Anyone is lucky to have Anna care for their dogs.
