“Michael has been absolutely wonderful with our doggo! He has such a care and attention to her needs, and even helped out when she got into trouble and got into our pantry lol. We have a reactive dog, and he's been great with taking her for walks and managing her energy and needs safely. We can tell that she is very comfortable with him, and would recommend Micheal to anyone with a furry friend! :)”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We can't praise Mike enough for his incredible pet-sitting services! He has stayed over and also dropped in for visits. He has taken care of our three dogs and two cats flawlessly. Mike not only follows our instructions to the T, but also has a remarkable ability for understanding our pets' needs even without detailed guidance. It truly gives us peace of mind knowing our furry crew are in such capable hands. His warm and caring approach makes it clear that he genuinely loves animals, and our pets adore him! If you're looking for a reliable and skilled pet sitter, we highly recommend Mike. You won't regret it!”

About: I am a lifelong dog lover and aim to treat your babies like my own. I am available most days during the summer and can walk your pups as often as necessary. I am a school counselor who is joining the Rover family to stay active during the summer. I am looking forward to meeting your pups! I can follow any specific requests that your dog may or may not need. My Kallie (Shiba Inu) gets hot on long walks during the summer so I always carry a clean collapsible water bowl and filtered water.
“Felix took great care of my cat while I was away! He was super reliable, had great communication, and sent plenty of pictures, which gave me peace of mind. My cat seemed happy and well cared for when I got back. Would definitely book with Felix again!”
About: I’ve taken care of 5 family dogs from puppyhood to later stages of life as well as dog sat for family friends and other family members. I currently work full time but I get home around 3pm most days. I normally get home and take my puppy Robin on a two mile walk and run. I care for Robin with a fenced in small yard and using the crate for when me and my fiancée are out. I would take care of your dog in whichever way you need.
“everything went exceptionally well with Kevin taking care of Darla and River. Kevin was punctual, followed instructions that were left and interacted with the dogs extremely well. I give him 5 STARS and will use him when his services are required in the future.”
“Allison was truly a godsend for our girls. When she came over for the meet and greet they loved her immediately and she was very attentive to everything we showed her and wanted to know everything about them and what toys they liked/hiding spots and even pets/cuddles. She sent us lots of pictures and left very detailed updates on everything and they really enjoyed spending time with her. Seeing as she’s so close to us we will ABSOLUTELY be booking with her again !! ☺️”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child. Lots of experience in caring for dog and dog walking. I also have experience in caring for a pet after surgery and administering medication. I understand how important it is for your dog to be comfortable while you are away from home. I work full-time, but I work from home two days a week. Those days I would be available for dog walking or checking in on your pet. Could do in-home sitting, preferably on weekends, but should be able to fit weekdays schedule also. I would be caring for your pet in your home. This would make them the most comfortable being in their own house. I will try to stick to the same routines that the owner does.

Kyle H.
“Kyle has been wonderful caring for my dogs. He took care of our older cairn terrier . At 13 years old Rune was a bit slow and just needed some attention, Kyle was patient and sweet with him . Our pug, Maxie , was so goofy and a bundle of energy and Kyle gave her more playful attention. Finally , we now have a rescue mini doodle that can be a bit feisty but Kyle gets on the floor each time to earn Moose’s trust and wins him over for lots of play time. Kyle has demonstrated his ability to adapt to each dog’s personality and give them all love . His calm demeanor and patience shows how much he adores dogs of all shapes and sizes! Kyle has been reliable and punctual, complete with a warm smile. He is a trusted caregiver to my dogs.”

South Amboy pet parents share their Rover experiences
Sara was truly outstanding!!! We needed someone to walk our dog and spend time with her and she shared every experience with us with pictures and videos. She would also play with Akira write about the experience each time she came. While we were away she made us feel as if we never left because of how she kept us connected with her care of our dog. We felt the love she had for Akira. We will definitely book her again and we highly recommend her! And that’s saying a lot because there’s always some sadness when we leave her, but Sara quickly put our hearts at ease from her first visit to the last.
This was the FOURTH time we have booked Wazina and once again, she did a fantastic job. She always keeps us posted each day of her pop-in visits with photos, messages and cute notes about our two cats. We are so happy with her services and would highly recommend her to anyone needing pop-in cat services. She is really great and our cats seem to feel that way about her too.
