Olivia watched my two dogs during my wedding day. It was such a relief to have her there since I was gone for so long that day. She was very responsive to messages and updates, which is important when I only had a second to check in during the night. She was able to handle both dogs (which can be a handful) and took them for nice long walks. They were exhausted by the end of the night. Thanks so much Olivia!!

Jordan did an amazing job watching Penny! We needed a sitter fairly last minute. We just moved and are too far to use our old boarding accommodations. Since we’d never used Rover before, Jordan gave us all the info we needed about how it all worked. Penny loved meeting Jordan and was excited to see her each visit. We’d definitely use Jordan again!

Maya was great with our 2 dogs. She was reliable and on time for every visit. We were away for a long weekend and were very busy. Her check ins and pictures of the dogs she sent showed me they were good and well taken care of. I would highly recommend her and I will definitely ask her again.

About: I'm a lifelong animal lover from Wilmington, Delaware, and after retiring from 34 years in education, I decided to follow my heart and spend more time with animals. I've had all kinds of pets over the years—dogs, cats, even horses—so I know just how much they mean to us. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone reliable, kind, and caring looking after your pets (and your home) when you can’t be there. Whether it's a walk around the block, playtime in the yard, or just some company while you're away, I'm here to make sure your furry family members feel safe, happy, and loved. I am retired after 34 years in education and have a flexible schedule that can meet your pets daily needs- morning, noon or night. Additionally, I have lived in the area my entire life so I am very familiar with the neighborhoods. I will visit your pets as requested. They will be walked responsibly and I will ensure they have fresh water and treats if allowed. If requested I will bring in the mail and any delivered packages.

Christa was a life saver. I can never fully enjoy my vacations because I think about my little guys alone in a boarding facility. I have a special needs dachshund named Maui. She's paralyzed in her back end and needs her bladder manually expressed. Very few boarding facilities will accept her. Christa came to our home three times per day, loved on, played with and cared for our three dogs and our parrot. I've never come home from a trip and found my dogs so happy and relaxed and clean. Christa went above and beyond.

About: I have a lot of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds, including working at a barn where I help care for 9 horses and give riding lessons, along with experience around dogs and other pets. Being around a variety of animals has taught me how to handle different personalities, energy levels, and needs while staying attentive and responsible. What sets me apart is that I’m very comfortable reading animal behavior and staying calm in any situation. I’m confident with more energetic or nervous pets, and I’m also patient with older animals who may need a slower pace or extra care. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, and any small changes in behavior to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy. I’m reliable, quick to communicate, and I genuinely care about the animals I work with. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m pretty flexible with my schedule and able to fit pet care into my daily routine. I work part-time and spend time at a barn, but I plan my days around the animals I’m responsible for. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends, and I’m good at sticking to a consistent routine that works best for your pet. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, and any specific care requests. I’m very aware of my surroundings, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure pets are always supervised and safe. I also keep you updated so you feel comfortable and know your pet is in good hands.

About: I’m a devout animal lover with three dogs of my own including a senior and one cat. My dogs range in age from 5-11 and weights of 11lbs to 55lbs. My cat is 7 years old and a tabby. I will care for your pet like its my own. I work remote but I’m available in the morning, some afternoons, evenings and weekends for drop-ins, walks, etc. I understand that you may have urgent needs to so I can adjust my schedule (where available) to accommodate. I always check the outside first when I’m doing a drop in to make sure its safe for the dog to go out. With cats, I like to sit with them for a bit to give them a chance to feel me out before I feed them. If we’re walking, I will find out from the owner what are the suggested routes so that the dog feels comfortable.

About: I’m a responsible 26 yr old and I’ve been a dog lover my whole life. I’ve got over 5 years experience walking/sitting dogs. I’ve got 2 beautiful dogs, Storm & Groot, a silver lab & labordoodle so I know how important your 4 legged family members are to you. I know how important it is to provide high quality care for your dogs. Feel free to reach out with any questions. I try to make myself available 7 days a week and provide the love and care that all dogs need and deserve. I believe exercise is an important element to your dog’s physical and emotional health. We have 2 dogs with a fenced in backyard for them to enjoy the outdoors. I also think it’s also important for dogs to walk the neighborhood to become familiar with the area should one happen to get loose - I’ll teach them how to get home. I’ve also got experience with dogs required to be crated. I believe all dogs have different needs & desires, which is why I adapt to each dog with love and respect.

Stephanie was my first pet sitter with Rover, and I was really apprehensive about leaving my cat for 2 weeks. Stephanie not only went above and beyond to reassure me, but she was flexible with the booking and checking on my house while I was away. She provided detailed updates with plenty of pictures, followed all instructions, and exceeded expectations. My normally skittish cat took to Stephanie immediately, which I know had to do with Stephanie, because she didn’t come out for anyone else that stopped by the house. I had a wonderful experience, and would definitely request Stephanie for any future pet sitting needs.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for a little over 10 years and I have worked on a farm for about 6 years. I have taken care of many animals from exotic birds to farm animals to house pets. I enjoy animals a ton and would love for more opportunities! I am also able to take care/watch over your farm if needed- prices for that will be dependent on the farm:) I’m currently available everyday so I’ll have ample time to spend with your pets:) I love being outside and going on adventures and I would love to be able to keep your pets company while you’re away or even if you need a check up during family affairs and events. I will treat your pet(s) as if they are my own! I try my best to be there as often as needed or wanted to keep your pet comfortable, happy and that they don’t have to be alone all the time while your away because we all know that’s the worst feeling. Animals are a huge passion of mine and whatever I can do to help I will:)

Jeannette is the absolute best!! I cannot recommend her enough. Jeannette treats our sweet old dog like a prince. I used to stress about going out of town because he cannot be boarded. But now that we found Jeannette I don’t stress at all. She treats our dog like one of her own. Kinglsley looks forward to her visits and her care

I am SO over-the-moon with the amazing, loving care Heather took of our tribe! She had to do some cooking and medications for our dogs, manage separation anxiety and provide patient, loving support and nailed it!!! I was able to travel for work and felt fully confident in her services. Heather's photograph updates are the best and brought me smiles every day. Tysm and we are already booked for more Super Sitter Care!

Amanda is the perfect sitter. We felt so happy that our dogs were with her while we were gone. Our dogs were so happy the whole time and Amanda sent us plenty of photos. She even stopped by for an extra visit because we had a flight delay. Our one dog is a big, excitable Rhodesian Ridgeback but she had no problem handling him. We will never use anybody else in this area to watch our dogs.
