“Samantha is kind, knowledgeable, entirely reliable and more than fluent reader and astute observer of pups: a truly gifted person. She kept us up to date with photos and stories & we were reassured by her care and insight.”
“Queenie took great care of our house and dog Axel! She is professional, kind, loves animals and is a good communicator. Special thanks to Queenie for flexibility in adjusting our reservation dates as our plans evolved. I would highly recommend Queenie for any pet sitting needs.”
“Nexsy was incredible. She helped on short notice and still snuck in a meet and greet. Polite, kind, and very understanding of our dogs. She went above and beyond during the time she spent with them by doing some helpful behavioral training. We felt they were in safe and capable hands. Highly recommended!”
“Adara did a fabulous job caring for our fur baby, Toby, in our home when we went away for the weekend! Toby is a bit (ok, VERY) quirky, and he doesn't do well with changes to his routine. Adara went above and beyond when caring for him. We felt very comfortable with her in our home, as well. Toby gives Adara a 10/10 for pet sitting, and so do we!”
“Ace is ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!!! Ace is so caring, compassionate, and dedicated to the happiness of her Adopted Fur Babies.... Which funnels through to the Fur Babies Momma. Ace is in constant communication and asks questions to assist with the Fur Babies happiness. We looked forward to all the pictures that Ace sent us. We could tell from these pictures that our Fur Babies were well taken care of and happy. Ace follows the plan of care so well, of course, Clyde and Bella are there to assist. lol Ace was so respectful of our home and left it in the same neatness as upon arrival. If I could, I would give ACE 10 stars!!!!! 🐾🐾💕”
“Emma was amazing! Sent daily updates and photos. Took my girl on walks and car rides which i know my girl loved! Super kind and reassuring that my dog was in the best care(this was my first time leaving her with a stranger) but I will always look to book Emma again!”
“Annina was amazing! She took such great care of Emma—attentive, responsible, and clearly a true animal lover. We got regular updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Emma came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Highly recommend Annina to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Donna was absolutely amazing. She took great care of our girl. She had great communication, was present during agreed up schedules, played with her, took walks and even took care of some personal requests such as putting trash out, checking mail and packages and vacuuming. Our home was exactly how we left it, We could tell our girl was very happy with our dog sitting choice. looking forward to booking again soon! Thank you Donna”
“Lila was a great sitter for Minnie. My very anxious “baby” took to Lila very quickly and that is not her norm, so I felt very comfortable leaving them together. Lila communicated and kept in touch well. She was very respectful of my home and even left a cute doggie thank you note. Minnie seemed to love her and I know this because often when I get home Minnie us sitting by the door waiting. She was sleeping in the living room and much calmer than my usual returns. I recommend Lila as responsive, responsible, and respectful. Thank you!!!”
About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life, from my grandparents tiny poms to my own boxers, I love getting to know each pups personality. I'm also fairly active and frequently go on nature walks and hikes, so a buddy would be lovely :) During the weekdays I'm usually working until the afternoon, but my schedule is fairly flexible. On weekends I'm usually free for drop in visits, walks, or overnight stays. I'll make sure to stay hyper-vigilant of your pups wants and needs while they're in my care! I'm a very attentive and adaptable person, and I understand some pups take some warming up to. I can promise you my utmost patience and understanding.
“Julissa watched our three dogs today and did a fantastic job! All three of our dogs have severe anxiety and separation issues, but as soon as we left the house we received pictures and all three had settled right down and were very comfortable with Julissa. These three are very hard to handle at times and require someone with just the right personality and patience to handle them. We will definitely be contacting her next time we need a sitter.”
“Gabriel took great care of Wylie when I was away for 4-5 days last week. We easily scheduled our meet and greet ahead of time and Gabriel won my anxious guy over very quickly. During my trip, he was great at communicating arrivals, departures, and with sending updates and photos. Most importantly, Wylie was happy, relaxed, and very tired when I got home. In addition, Gabriel took great care of my place. Would definitely trust him to sit for Wylie again in the future!”
“Kaitlynn was amazing! My dogs have special needs and their care instructions are very specific. She kept their routine and did perfect! She gave my dogs much love and attention. She is the only sitter I would trust with my dogs. After I got back home, I asked one of my dogs (she uses button communication) if Kaitlynn was nice and she said yes! 🐾”
“Although there were a couple miscommunications before the booking, Kate did a wonderful job with my elderly dogs. The dogs really bonded with Kate and I look forward to having her stay with them in the future!”
About: Hello! My name is Lisa and I look forward to meeting your furry friends! My own furry friends currently include 4 dogs, a goat, a duck, 4 chickens, and a parakeet! I am a MPS Animal Science graduate from Cornell University who has an array of experiences with animals both large and small! I am confident in my ability to administer subcutaneous/intramuscular injections, administer oral medications, perform nail trims, etc. Please do not hesitate to reach out regarding care for your pet(s), as I am always looking forward to working with and meeting new clients and fur babies! Pet care is implemented into my everyday life! At my Monday through Friday full-time job, I am a laboratory technician who works with and is a caretaker for New Zealand White Rabbits. At home, I am a mom to a variety of animals both large and small! All pets are allowed on furniture and able to roam freely as they please! There is a plethora of toys to choose from to keep your pets busy and occupied. I have a small yard to allow for some outdoor play and potty time.
“Amber is AMAZING. I have 4 large dogs with all different personalities and she handled them all. She was in constant communication, would send videos and pics. It's so hard to find a trustworthy dog sitter but I felt 100% comfortable with her and my dogs love her. She truly went above and beyond!! And left my house cleaner than how I left it!!”
“Samantha was fantastic! She handled both my senior dog and young cat with care and kept me updated continuously. My cat never comes out for strangers but it only took a couple hours of Samantha’s calm energy to allow him to feel comfortable enough to greet her. I definitely recommend Samantha for any pet needs you may have! She is honest and clear with you so you can feel confident your pets are being well cared for while you are gone! Thank you so much Samantha!”
About: I’ve got a big Doberman and a goofy American Staffy of my own, so I’m super comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve taken care of everything from little lap dogs to big, reactive pups—and I truly get them! I treat every dog like my own, with love, patience, all of the attention! Pet care fits into my routine easily since I have a flexible schedule. I’m available on short notice and can give your pup the attention and care they need throughout the day—whether it’s for walks, feedings, or just company. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, cozy space with lots of love and attention. I have a large yard, and while it’s not fenced, I always keep dogs safely leashed outside unless otherwise requested. I don’t use crates at the moment, but I make sure each dog has a comfy spot to relax and feel secure. In a client’s home, I follow their routine closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, or specific habits. I’m respectful, reliable, and always focused on keeping pets happy and stress-free while you’re away.
About: I’ve had all kinds of pets throughout my entire life. I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats. 2 of those dogs are massive, and one is small. I get the best of both worlds and know how to treat all kinds of dogs. Pet care is something I do at home on a day to day basis. It’s something I enjoy and it’s something I’m good at. If I can help other people while enjoying what I’m doing, I’d say that’s a big win. When I sit at other peoples homes, I take into account the pets behaviors and the spots they tend to spend the most of their time in. Frequently checking in, giving them space when needed, spending time with them, those are all important factors.
About: I bring 2 years of senior care experience, so I’m patient, attentive, and deeply respectful of others’ routines and spaces. My background in caregiving taught me how to notice small changes, handle responsibilities with care, and always show up when it counts — and I bring that same energy to pet and house sitting. I am working part time doing uber eats. I love spending my free time coloring and learning new skills to be successful in my goals to entrepreneurship. I have a fenced big back yard over 1,500 sq ft so there’s plenty of space to run around. I live in a quiet neighborhood.

Shubby F.
“For starters there's so much to begin with but I'll narrow it down to an emergency trip i had in New York and the hotel I booked had a no pet policy, I didn't end up seeing or learning till I arrived in the hotel lobby with my Shorkie and because it was an emergency I had to contact friends all over the city or nearby citys to see if they can maybe babysit my puppy at their homes for a short while as i get myself situated, no one was avaible but Shubby! and she was all the way in Boston at the time and so she drove all the way down 4 hours! and went above and beyond to watch over my pup as i delt with my situation at the time and funny enough i had the dog food still in my bag i had forgotten to give to her since i was in a rush but she went and situated that herself and bought food and toys for my shorkie "Cali" and since then she's always been my go to person for my pup.”
Thorndike pet parents share their Rover experiences
Queenie was a wonderful carer for Pearl & Rudi. Our home was in pristine condition and she sent several vireos of both pets to keep us informed and worry - free. We have booked her for our next short holiday and feel confident about her care and professionalism! We yanks Queenie!
Queenie was nothing but amazing! She took amazing care of our kitties and stayed at our house all weekend. We felt at peace with her care and it made our trip more relaxing and enjoyable! She sent frequent updates and was always on standby with her phone if we asked for updates or needed to chat. We will absolutely use her again!
