3. Daniel V.

“Daniel was exceptional with our two high-energy pups. His stay in our home while we were at a work event went so smoothly, from meeting the pups through communicating with pictures through the weekend and the "handoff" when we got home. We felt so at ease, especially me with my rescue knowing they were in great hands!”

6. Nancy C.
“Hello, I have previously looked after Nancy’s pup, Enzo. First of all Enzo is amazing and I could tell how well he’s been raised. He’s so sweet & gentle with my young children, and so obedient…my kids and I LOVE when Enzo comes to stay!! As a Rover sitter for three years I feel well I’m well versed on judging a pets owners from the behavior and temperament of their pets. Enzo is one of the best dogs we’ve ever had the pleasure to care for. That is testament to Nancy’s raising of him, and her love for our four legged best friends! I wouldn’t hesitate to contact Nancy, or recommend her, if any of our regular Rover friends were in a pinch. Nancy is also such a personable and friendly person, and I can guarantee that once you meet her and see her love for dogs you’ll have no hesitation in reaching out to her for your pet sitting needs. 10 out of 10 for Nancy…highly recommended!!! Thanks, Mark”

8. megan m.
“Hi Pet Parents! I know how hard it can be to handover the care of your beloved pet, I really really do, but Megan is more than a perfect choice. Megan is kind, attentive, mature and trustworthy. She has a special and unique love for taking care of animals and will absolutely provide ease to Pet Parents. When my now angel puppy, Zeus, was diagnosed with cancer, she not only checked up on me, but she helped him take his medication, would help me bring him to the vet, and would lay with him to give him comfort in his last months with us. She has done more than I could ever ask for, and I know she will do that for you. Thank you.”


9. Don-Paul A.
“Don is a fantastic caregiver for both cats and dogs! With his extensive experience at Penn Vet and BluePearl Pet Hospital, he has a deep understanding of animal care and behavior. He’s compassionate, patient, and dedicated, always making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved—even in stressful situations. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, or expert attention, Don is someone you can trust. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

14. Janice L.
“I will start by saying I've known Janice for over 30 years, our children have grown up together & her home has always been one with lots of love & laughter. The kids always would love to be at her home. Now that she & her husband are "empty nesters", Janice has spread her love by enjoying taking care of her family & friends pets when they have been away at work or on vacation. Janice is a very detail-oriented person. Her home is always meticulous, she is neat and organized in all she does. Janice & her husband have cared for my pets in the past and my dogs love the attention they get, I can tell since whenever we get together, my dogs are so happy to see them! I think Janice would be a great "fit" on the Rover website.”


15. Rebecca A.

“We hired Rebecca to stay for two weeks to watch our 1 1/2 year old Ivy. She was sooo sweet yet in charge of our rambunctious pup. She gave her love and praise and training. Sending fail updates in text and video. She made us feel sooo comfortable before we left and proved that our intuition was correct! We highly recommend Rebecca. If you want your fur baby to have the best of care and be lavished in love the Rebecca is the one for you. ❤️”

19. Madalynn F.
“When I think of Madalynn Flynn, the first thing that comes to mind is her love for dogs. Madalynn has always been such an inspiring person in the dog world. As someone like myself who always loved dogs, but has been distant from them for quite some time. Madalynn showed me how to love, and welcome dogs with open arms. Every dog that she sees creates a special bond with her, with her own, or even from taking a walk around the neighborhood. From her experience of growing up with dogs her whole life, during quarantine she started to Foster them. Every dog that she brought back home to foster, never wanted to leave her as they were attached to her by the hip. With her loving, caring, and affectionate self, Madalynn provided these dogs a place to call home until they found someone who will take them to a forever one. If you are looking for someone to take care of your dog like your own, you know who to call! Madalynn Flynn.”
