“First time Rover doggy parent and she made me feel very comfortable offered video call and pictures. Once I arrived very welcoming and made me feel safe with leaving him. Provided pictured of them all playing and sleeping and gave normal updates (he stayed over night)”
“Caroline took absolutely amazing care of my puppy. She kept sending us photos and videos of him while in her care. He came back super happy with his time off ?. I would highly recommend her and would definitely be taking her up on future opportunities for care!”
“Amazing experience with Mimi’s dog sitter! They were caring, reliable, and kept us updated the whole time. Mimi was happy and well taken care of. Highly recommend!”
“Melanie, simply put, is one of the very best dog sitters we have ever come across. Our beloved beagle is a senior dog with health issues and anxiety, and Melanie puts her right at ease. She takes amazing care of her, as if she was her own. Melanie sends us pictures and updates and it makes us so much more comfortable to know our dog is comfortable with Melanie. We can tell as soon as we enter her home that our pup is happy to be there. I really don't know what we'd do without Melanie! She's truly terrific and we are so grateful.”
“Milena is a gem; our dog has a wonderful time with her, is extremely well cared for, and (if we’re honest), is probably a little sad when we come to pick her up after a stay with Milena. Highly recommend!”
“Let me start by saying this was my first time using Rover ever. Andrew was so helpful and reassuring and explained everything to me. Additionally, while I was away he kept me up to date with texts and pictures of Finn. Finn had a great time with Andrew and you can just tell Andrew knew exactly how to best care for my puppy. Thank you so much!!”
“A+ Kind, attentive, communicative, flexible. The photo of our dog Charlie sprawled out in front of the fireplace within an hour of us dropping him off says it all. He feels safe, secure, relaxed, and loved. Tynesha has become Charlie’s resort vacation destination anytime we go away.”
“Doug and Luiz took great care of our girls while we were away. We were first time Rover users but they clearly know what they are doing. They have their house set up really well and have seen it all. They gave us lots of updates and are very safety focused. I especially appreciate them putting airtags on the dogs upon check in and every entry/exit point is double gated. Really conscientious dog lovers who set up towel pathways for my dog who gets scared of tile/wood floors. Will for sure use again!”
“Ninoska was our very first experience using Rover, and she absolutely set the bar high! From the moment we met her during the meet-and-greet, we felt at ease she was warm, informative, and so welcoming. We were nervous first-time puppy parents leaving our 15-week-old Lola for the first time, but Ninoska made the whole process smooth and stress-free. While we were away for 4 days, she sent us regular updates with adorable photos and videos of Lola playing and looking so happy. Lola clearly felt at home she even ate more than usual (I think she gained a healthy little pound!), and her tummy was doing great. Ninoska even shared some recipes and snack tips that worked wonders for Lola. Truly a 10/10 experience. Ninoska is not just a sitter she’s a puppy/dog whisperer, and we’re so lucky we found her. We love her and so does Lola!”
“Klainer was amazing with my tiny dog Moqui! She was so responsive, sent me so many updates and photos and was so kind. I have a very anxious dog and Klainer made sure to make her feel at home. Thank you so much!”
“My two girls where well taken care of. They typically don’t do well with other dogs however Manuel was able to get both of my puppers in the same room as another dog. This guy works wonders! Will highly recommend! P.s. they have been much calmer while encountering other dogs while walking them since their stay.”
“Amanda and her family treated our Cooper like one of their own! They provided so many great photos and updates! We will definitely be using Amanda’s services again☺️”
“Accommodated with short notice. Encouraged a meet and greet, even came to us due to our schedule. Immediately felt at ease leaving Fletcher for the day. He looked happy in the photos sent.”
“It was my first time leaving my puppy for several days and Tamika was great! She sent me photos and kept me updated daily which was really important to me. I could really sense that she enjoyed taking care of her. I will definitely rebook in the future 😊”
“Shaun is wonderful with our 5 year old golden. He takes such good care of her, lots of walks, attention, and play, as well as sends us frequent update and photos! Thank you!”
“It’s always uncomfortable leaving a pet in a new place but with Angie that feeling vanished quickly. She’s responsive and punctual and great with animals. I could tell my pup was happy and relaxed in the pics she sent while I was away. Zeus had such a good stay he didn’t want to leave when I came to pick him up!”
About: I have over 10 years of pet care experience, taking care of my family’s two dogs and cat, fostering dogs for two years at a local animal shelter, and sitting/ walking neighborhood pets. I currently am free all day, 7 days a week until I begin work as a preschool summer camp counselor in the end of June. After that, I still have a lot of availability, M-F anytime after 3pm and anytime on weekends. I have a fenced yard and crates available if needed. I live in a safe neighborhood with a park nearby which is perfect for walks, and have an animal-loving family. I am an avid rule follower, responsive communicator and will prioritize ensuring the safety of each pet.

South Orange dog parents share their Rover experiences
Caroline was amazing! So kind and friendly. Pogo went for a visit to meet the pack and on the day of his stay he was so eager for her to open the door. When she took him by his leash he walked off and never looked back. She has a large fenced in yard with plenty of grass for the dogs to run around and have a sniffing feast. Will definitely use again when I come back in town!
Veronica is absolutely incredible! She took such wonderful care of Tasha and truly went above and beyond. When Tasha was feeling a bit down and lost her appetite, Veronica didn't just ignore it—she actually went out and bought special food to encourage her to eat and spent extra time cheering her up. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the happiness and health of the pups she watches. Tasha came home happy and healthy. I would highly recommend Veronica to anyone!
Ashley and her family were amazing! Highly recommend and will definitely be using again! She constantly sent me pictures of our pup and gave us updates daily. When we went to pickup our dog, she didn't want to leave Ashley's house lol. The best dog sitter we've ever used
Diana was wonderful. She accepted the littles last minute when my vet tech referred her for senior care after a medical boarding when my work trip was unexpectedly extended. She provided a calm stable environment for my senior blind/deaf Yorkie and administered his medication effectively. Her photos showed both dogs happy and cared for and my Maltipoo probably would have preferred to stay with Diana when I picked them up! I highly recommend her, especially if your dog has special needs as she is caring and compassionate.
Milo had a great time! Our pup is energetic and he got plenty of exercise! They were informative and checked in once at least once a day with information, photos and videos which we really appreciated! Looking forward to booking with them again soon - actually about to ask about a weekend in a few weeks!
This was Milo’s second stay with Jullien, and he once again provided excellent care for him. Jullien kept us updated every day and sent us pics of Milo’s adventures, and he was once again very accommodating when our flight was delayed. We are so happy that we found Jullien. It’s so reassuring to know that your pet will be comfortable and happy while you’re away. +++++++++
Doug took excellent care of our dog Winnie! He was incredibly responsive and shared lots of updates and fun pictures. We felt fully at ease and know Winnie was having a great time. We will absolutely be reaching out to Doug again the next time we need help with Winnie!
