“Tiffany did such an amazing job watching our Roostie boy. She has a great house and fenced in back yard for Roostie to run and she also took him to the beach everyday for exercise. Our dog had a great time with her and we will definitely have her watch him again. She sent plenty of updates with lots of photos and videos which we loved.”
“Jenny took great care of our dog, Chestnut, while we were on a weekend trip. She was very responsive and sent us lots of pictures so we knew he was doing well! Chestnut also had a blast playing with her pups!”
“Myra was very professional and took notes of everything i said and followed them. She also gave me detailed updates often including information of what activities they did, what food and how much my dog ate, when he peed and pooped. Sent me videos and pictures of my dog. And it reduced my worries to my baby fur while i was gone for a day. Myra was so loving that she even slept close to my dog so my dog wont feel lonely. Amazing experience and Will definitely book again!”
“Jen was wonderful! She did a fabulous job taking care of Tia. Jen sent us multiple photos and video that made us feel very comfortable. Tia had a great time and we would definitely use Jen in the future.”
“Brooke was amazing and took wonderful care of Monet. She was great with communication and keeping us updated with how Monet was doing with her. Monet came home very happy! Thank you, Brooke!”
“Recently left my puppy with Thelma. I was able to go on vacation without concerns for my pups well being. She took extra precautions to keep him safe by putting up extra barricades around her fence to prevent him from escaping. My pup loved playing with her dogs. i definitely will have her watch my dog again.”
“Zackie is absolutely exceptional. Provided excellent communication and is super friendly and welcoming as well. I would defenitely recommend for others & and would rebook for myself. Can’t thank her enough.”
“Brooklyn was wonderful to my two dogs. I was in town for business and traveling with my dogs. She took great care of them, played with them all day and made them feel comfortable stopping for the weekend in Delaware. I was traveling from GA to CT and this allowed me to relax would use her again when I return to town.”
“Piper loves coming over to spend the night. She’s always outside running off steam and getting lots of love and affection. She has been watching our fur since she was a puppy and always get excited as soon as we turn down her street.”
“Wonderful experience. We were able to leave our Corgi Fiona with Michele, which she thoroughly enjoyed. Fiona was so entertained by Michele’s guests, that she overstayed her customary bedtime for an hour, to play with the children. We feel so fortunate to have Michele’s love and care for our dear Fiona.”
““I can’t thank Olinda enough for the amazing care she gave Ollie! From the moment we arrived, I could tell how excited and happy he was to be around her. Her warmth, attentiveness, and genuine love for dogs shine through. It’s such a relief to know Ollie was in such good hands.”
“Nacho is a very selective Chihuahua who immediately adored Nicole. He exhibited none of the signs of anxiety he generally does when he meets someone new (or even someone he has met several times). He accepted Nicole as one of his special people and behaved as well (if not better!) for her than he does at home. Nicole sent us photos of Nacho napping, taking walks and looking completely adorable while he was in her care; we could see how content he was and were able to have peace of mind while we were traveling. Nacho will definitely be staying with Nicole the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Emily did a great job with our pups! Just a quick overnight trip but she took time to send us pics and texts to let us know how they did. They came home happy and exhausted (just the way we like it! 🙂).”

About: I’ve been caring for cats and pets most of my adult life, including flying to other states to house and pet sit for family and friends. I’ve administered subcutaneous injections, managed the special diets of multiple cats & taken pride in the car I give in the absence of the pet parent.
About: I have cared for cats for most of my life but 5 years ago my fiancé and I adopted my first dog. For the past 5 years, I’ve cared for my dog, Mary Jane, who has been my sweetest teacher in understanding dog behavior, routines, and communication. Through caring for her, I’ve gained hands-on experience with daily walking, feeding schedules, basic training reinforcement, administering simple medications, and creating a calm, consistent environment for a happy pup. I have also cared for many friends pets while they were away on vacation. I may be new to Rover, but I’m not new to being a responsible, attentive animal owner. Caring for animals is already woven into my daily rhythm. I work part-time with flexible hours, giving me plenty of space in my schedule for peaceful walks, playtime, and check-ins with pets. I’m used to creating a balanced routine around my own dog, and bringing that same calm, attentive energy to other pets feels completely natural. I am currently free to sit/walk any day of the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and familiar environment for them. I follow your routines exactly as you outline them — from feeding instructions to walk times to any training cues your dog is used to. I keep doors and gates secured, monitor their body language closely, and make sure they always have fresh water and a comfortable space to relax. Trust is extremely important to me, so I communicate clearly, send updates/photos, and treat your home with the same respect and care I treat your pet.
About: Animals have been a part of my life for over 25 years. I grew up in a home full of pets and can’t remember a time without them. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, and even a lizard. As an adult, I’ve chosen to adopt rescue dogs and guinea pigs because helping animals has always been important to me. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I currently work part-time so I have the time to care of your pets and take care of all their needs. My availability is flexible most days. I can do whatever you prefer for your pets in your home. Whatever their routine is, how you like things to be done to keep them feeling safe and comfortable.
“Nicole is fabulous! She once again did a great job caring for our household of cats—most of them elderly, so they’re a handful. Nicole continues to prove she’s reliable and trustworthy.”

“Elizabeth was a life savor! I had last minute reached out to see if she could watch my puppy and she was able to accommodate to do so. I felt extremely comfortable leaving my girl with her! She’s super friendly and you could tell she has a genuine love for animals. She was sending me pictures throughout the day and I could tell Nova was having a great time. I would recommend Elizabeth to anyone! Thank you so much for taking great care of my crazy pup Elizabeth!”

“I was in town for a family celebration and needed someone to watch Zeus for a few hours. I’m so happy to have found Olinda. She took amazing care of him. She is very sweet and very accommodating! Zeus took to her right away and had a blast playing in her fenced in backyard! She kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout his visit! I will absolutely use her services again the next time we are in town. Thank you Olinda! You were great!”
About: I grew up on a farm and ranch, caring for animals of all shapes and sizes. While living in South Carolina, I assisted with service dog and obedience training.

I have a 6 foot privacy fence and the front room is set up for your pup to stay in and there is a XXL crate and for smaller pups I have a large play pen and a canopy bed. I do have three dogs that are friendly, however my house is constructed to where I can keep everyone separated and comfortable.
“My puppy River means the world to us and Jen watching her from the time she was picked up to dropped back off was a long full day and not once did we worry or felt scared River was away from us! We absolutely LOVE Jen❤️”

“Teresa accepted my request almost last minute after mine was not doing well at the doggie daycare. She is very experienced, reliable and provided a lot of love and care for Miller. Thank you very much!”
“Sureya connected with my dog immediately. She got down to his stature level and rubbed and hugged him, at that point I knew he was in good hands. Sureya took my dog Corbin without a two hour notice and I was so thankful especially being away from home. Sureya took great care of Corbin and I will definitely use her again when near the area.”
About: I grew up having dogs my whole life. I have a dog of my own who loves meeting new friends. I have volunteered at animal shelters for over 5 years. I also have experience fostering animals, as well as dog sitting different types of dogs for friends and family. I love working with animals, and have a lot of experience with them. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be available at all times throughout the day. I have experience with dog walking and can keep pets overnight. Also, I will follow any special routine for dogs with more advance needs. I hope to work with you soon and enjoy meeting your furry best friend. Thank you very much! Because I work from home I can be home the majority of the day and my schedule is very flexible. I also keep my availability schedule updated. I live on an acre of land with a fenced in backyard. There is a lot of room to run and play inside the house as well as outside. I do not feel comfortable boarding a dog who attempts to “escape” from yards.
About: I've been in love with animals since I was a baby. Growing up my family always had a menagerie of Fur-Babies. I started volunteering with the Humane Society when I was 12 and haven't ever stopped working with all kinds of Animals. From Alligators to Pot Belly Pigs to Zebras... From Akitas to Yorkies... From American Bobtail Cats to Tom Cats and everything in between, I've been blessed to have volunteered/fostered/adopted or raised almost every kind of pet you can imagine. My heart goes out to every fur-baby I meet and I will spoil, pamper and walk, run or jog with you baby like they were my very own. My home's Doggie Daycare and Critter Crash-Pad and Spa includes Luxury Lounge Pads and Comfy Crates and more Toys and Treats then PetSmart (well, not yet anyway). I'm ready for Doggie-Daycare, Daytime Drop-Bys or All Night Slumber Parties and pet sitting in your baby's own home while you'reaway. Rest assured there are no pets too big or too small for my happy extended family and ask anyone... I will love them all. I dont believe there is such a thing as an Ugly Baby... I can't wait to meet your family and give you all the help you need raising and caring for your four-legged piece of Fur-Covered Joy. I'm currently experiencing Extreme Empty Nest Syndrome... All of my own babies have grown-up, moved-on, flew the coop, and left me all by my lonesome! I can't believe I have an empty house for the first time in 25 years... And it sucks! With no more soccer games, birthday parties or trips to the Vet, my schedule is extremely flexible at the moment and I will do my best to fit your friend into my daily routine or drop everything to go check on your little guys at your own Home Sweet Home. (Just give me a minute to put down the oven mitts get the Home-Made Critter Cookies out of the oven). I live in a big, beautiful, historic home just outside of Dover with a huge yard, fenced in doggie play area, doggie pool, and a special doggie suite on the first floor filled with luxury doggie beds and comfy crates just right for any size fur-baby.
“I am so happy we found Jer when we did. I needed a place where I felt safe leaving my good boy during the day and this is it! Jer is kind and patient, great with communication and sends plenty of pics of Grizzly happily playing with his new friends. I can go to work and know that he is in good hands. What a relief!”

About: Hello! I’m Erin, a full-time high school teacher and pet-sitter on the side. I’m an animal lover and I have been pet sitting for 10+ years. I have a ton of experience caring for a variety of dog breeds and cats, as well as a few smaller animals (rabbits, hamsters, birds, and fish). I’m calm, caring, and patient, with a soft spot for senior animals. I’ve had a great deal of experience caring for my own senior pets (both dogs and cats). I’ve provided care for animals with diapers, medication, and mild mobility issues. I’m also experienced in caring for diabetic cats and administering insulin, as I’ve helped two of my rescues go into remission. I strive to provide the best care possible for pets, and peace of mind for their owners! Please be aware that starting August 25th, I will be at work from 7:35 am-3:05 pm. I’m currently a full time as a high school teacher, so from 7:35-3:05 on week days, I’m usually at work. If I am pet sitting during the week, I head straight to the pets at the end of the work day. On weekends, I am able to dedicate most, if not all, of the day to spending time with your pets. This is also the case over the summer. I provide pet care in client’s homes, per the directions provided by the clients. Prior to caring for your pet(s), I ask that we arrange a time for me to meet your pet(s) and go over all pertinent information regarding their care and safety.
About: I have experience with dogs, cats, and small animals (gerbils, tortoises, snakes and rats). I also have my own cat, Baba. I have experience with special needs animals, should your fur baby require any special care. My work schedule is stable and I know my schedule a month or two in advance. I am flexible with same day bookings and am willing to accommodate late visits. I will do my best to work with any situation. Just let me know if you have any special requests and it will get done!
About: Hi! I’m Chloe. Animals have been my whole world for as long as I can remember. I spent 4.5 years working as a Veterinary Assistant, later became a Zookeeper, and graduated from the University of South Florida with my Bachelor’s in Integrative Animal Biology. I’ve worked with everything from tiny bottle babies to 150 lb senior dogs, and I love giving each pet the gentle, individualized care they need. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom to a sweet baby, two cats, and a small senior dog, so I have a very flexible schedule for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. Occasionally, I may need to bring my baby with me, so I do ask that your pets are kid-friendly. (She will remain in her car seat/stroller for visits, and she is too young to interact with any animals). I’m experienced in medication administration (oral and injectable), SQ fluids, and basic grooming tasks. I also offer nail trims, baths, and anal gland expression as simple add-on services. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always come first, and you’ll get clear updates, photos, and communication every step of the way. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m a stay-at-home mom with a very flexible schedule. I’m home most days, so I’m able to plan walks, drop-ins, and house-sitting visits around my day. Caring for animals has always been part of my lifestyle, so it blends seamlessly into my daily routine. I treat every pet’s home like their safe space. When I’m caring for your animals, I stick to their normal routines.. meals, litter cleaning, playtime, snuggles (if they like them!), and any medications they need. I keep everything tidy, make sure your pet feels secure, and give lots of reassurance and affection. I also send updates and photos so you feel connected while you’re away. Since I’m not taking boarding pets right now, all care is done in your home where your pet feels most comfortable. For day-care, I will ensure the pet is well taken care of in an stress-free environment. I do ask that your pets are up to date on vaccines AND cat/dog/kid friendly!
About: With many years of hands on pet care experience, I've cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I'm comfortable with feeding schedules, medications, bathing, walking, and providing the kind of calm, attentive care that puts both pets and their owners at ease. Animals have always been a central part of my life, and every pet I care for gets treated like family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. With a flexible schedule, I'm available to give your pet consistent attention, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of love throughout the day. I'm reliable, punctual, and will keep you updated with photos and check-ins so you always know your fur baby is happy and thriving. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priority. I provide a calm, attentive environment and take time to understand each animal's unique needs and personality before care begins. I'm experienced with crating, feeding routines, leash handling, and recognizing signs of stress or illness. Pet owners can trust their babies are in experienced, caring hands.

About: I was raised around dogs since childhood, and have always been involved with animal rescue since I had my own place. We have dogs and cats of our own, and they enjoy having fluffy friends to play with as much as we do! I’m currently available during the day full time, and only work part-time at night. So there’s a lot of availability for either dog walks, emergency boarding needs, or doggy daycare options. We have a fenced in yard out back, and crate-and-rotate when needed. I am experienced in handling all behaviors of dogs, from the fearful/shy to the escape artist.
About: As a long time user of Rover services for my own pets, I understand the importance of finding a sitter you trust! Thank you for considering me. I’ve been professionally caring for other peoples pets off and on for years. Totaling a little over 10 years. My experience ranges from traditional homes with cats and dogs, to small farms with chickens and goats, to the more exotic birds and ferrets. I always request a meet and greet with my clients before hand so they can introduce me to their pet and walk through their care. I want you to be happy and worry free! For walking or visits in your home, I am comfortable with a hidden key or if you use a smart lock to remotely unlock. I am also familiar with Ring and other security systems so if you’d prefer to give me a guest code I can disarm the system. My schedule does vary a lot week to week, and even seasonally. Best to just ask me how things are currently. Some of my most loyal clients are nurses and really appreciate my flexibility. I only offer drop in visits. I do not offer boarding, house sitting, or daycare. Flexible work schedule, but this is a second job for me. Advance notice is preferable so I can accommodate your schedule and mine as well. My visit cards are always very detailed. They include multiple photos of course, but they go beyond that to include stories of our adventure of the day - from chasing lizards, to playing fetch, or sometimes just snuggling during an afternoon storm. You’ll feel like you’re at home reading about their day.

He normally doesn’t eat at first when being boarded but he was enjoying a treat and eating his breakfast within moments of being dropped off.

Fantastic communication and quick responses made our trip stress free; we knew our dog was in good hands!”
