“Corrine took great care of Sadie. She sent us pictures every day, which we appreciated. It looked like Sadie made a lot of new friends. We would not hesitate to leave Sadie with Corrine and her family in the future.”
“Wow! Jacquelyn was fantastic! My little Lucy was a bit anxious the first day, and she spent so much time with her, making her feel secure! Our flight was canceled at the last minute, and our trip was delayed a day. She worked with us to add an extra day, so we didn't have to worry about picking Lucy up on top of rearranging flights, etc. We will absolutely use her again. This was our first time using Rover.com, and it was a wonderful experience!”
“Matthew and his family were great hosts to our Welsh Terrier Winnie. She is an active dog with a lot of attitude. With their two dogs Henry and Jacks they were able to keep her running, walking, and content. We know our dog had a great time when she comes home spent, worn out, and sleeping for two days. Matthew sent pictures each day and Winnie had a blast. Two thumbs up and we will gladly use Matthew again..if he'll let our 17lb beast back in their home!”

“What an amazing family! Our 1 year old doggie spent 10 days with Ashley while we were on vacation !Piper was so well cared for….. just like ishe was their own doggie! We just picked her up and she was so happy! We highly recommend Ashley to care for your doggie!”
“Daisy had a great time over Danielle’s home. I received pictures of her running with the other dogs and that’s exactly what my dog likes to do. She stayed over four nights. Each of the dogs has a fluffy dog pad to rest and sleep on. The yard is fenced and large. The dogs are fed in their own spaces preventing food aggression. It was important to me that Daisy have her own water system set up and Danielle welcomed my request. My dog just does not share water. So it’s these things that allow you to go away and know that your dog is going to be okay. I have and will continue to use Danielle.”
“Alba was amazing! She took care of Tory so well, and Tory loved her. Everyday she would send me pictures of Tory with cute little outfits or cuddled up - I could tell how happy my baby was. It was the first time I had Alba babysit but definitely won’t be the last!”
“Our little two-year-old long haired dachshund,Maddie had a wonderful time with Megan and her family for three days! Lots of photos of her happy time there and love shown. This was a first time experience for our Maddie, and we had our concerns but the caring she received erased all of that.”
“Carol watched our Hansel for 3 days/2 nights. We were impressed from our initial meet & greet at Carol's neat, organized home. Her demeanor and experience indicated that she would provide excellent care for our pet. We received daily updates including photos that all was well, and Hansel was being his usual sweet self. At pick-up we found our boy happy, and ready to go home - we are confident he had an excellent experience with Carol. We are happy to have Carol as a resource for our future pet sitting needs.”
“Christine was so great with our puppy, Callie. Callie was there for a full day / night. Christine made sure to keep Callie entertained the entire time. She brought her out with her and kept up with her energy! She provided lots of exercise including walks and a large fenced in backyard. Callie is a puppy and still is not used to sleeping alone, but Christine made sure to stay with Callie until she was calm and comfortable enough for bed time. We will definitely be reaching out to her again to sit!”

“Rudy loved his Rover vacation!!!! Up from GA going with family to the beach in NJ a co-worker recommended Rover. Kristin was the best ever! We visited about a 2 wks before and she let Rudy run around her house and backyard. Rudy fell in love with Kristin. All I worried about was that Rudy wouldn’t want to come home. He was happy to see us but already misses Kristin. I am hoping Kristin will be able to care for Rudy next summer. Thank you Kristin for caring for Rudy and giving my family a stress free week. Loved all the pictures you were kind enough to update us with! Rudy, Ellen and Sean”
About: I have always been a lover of animals. I grew up with cats, dogs, rabbits, guniea pigs, and hamsters. Every single animal I’ve had has been given the love they deserve. Giving them all their play time, I have a huge fenced in yard for dogs to run around in and play fetch. If pets need their own space, I can accommodate that. If you need me to take extra time out for them I can offer that as well! I’m here to help! I am a hairstylist by trade for 27 years and love what I do, I work part time to be home more with my children. Being a hairstylist, I love helping my clients look and feel good. That being said, I figured I can help people in other ways as well and being that I love animals, why not help people with their pets by taking care of them! I take my dog on daily walks, except for Tuesdays and Saturdays but those are the days I work in the salon, but my husband takes our dog out. She also will go to my mother's house in the summer to swim with us as she absolutely loves the pool! Being that I am home most of the week, watching dogs fits well into my schedule. I will treat other people's pets as if they were my own. As long as they are potty trained, I will allow them to walk freely in my home, I have a huge fenced in yard for them to run and play. As long as the weather is beautiful out, I will take them on walks as well with my family! Myself and my family will treat your pets as if they were ours! We will show them love the entire time they are with us!

“Kim would be a wonderful pet caretaker. She has been around animals all of her life. Growing up she helped to take care of cats, dogs, guinea pigs, chickens and rabbits. She always showed love and care to each animal. The animals in return showed her the love and kindness she had given them. She has taken care of my cats and dogs when I have been away. She is very trustworthy and I feel at ease when she is taking care of them. Sincerely, Susan M”
