“Lindsay was a great sitter for our dog Wellington. She provided pictures and updates regularly which made all the difference. We were traveling for 9 days out of the country and really appreciated her caring and thoughtful messages. It really was clear how much she cared for our dog and it was very much appreciated.”
“Phydeau stayed for two nights. He’s old and had much medical care involved in his stay including pills and ear care which was all attended to so well. He came home happy and well cared for. He loves going to Michael’s!”
“We just love Rebeca and her whole family! They all pitch in and take care of the dogs that stay with them and we have a VERY active dog so it is so good for her to have lots of people to play with while we’re away. :) I can tell Cici always has the best time with them and we don’t have to worry about her at all while on vacation. We got the most gorgeous pics of her to see all the fun walks she was taking and fun games she was playing with their daughter. And at the end of the stay their daughter gave her a little Halloween goody bag with the CUTEST note talking about her favorite moment of Cici’s stay with her. It’s just so sweet you can see how much they care about your dog when they are with them. Cici will for sure be back over and over again! 🥰”
“Yenny and her family where extremely amazing 🥰 my Winnie was happy being around them for being her first time spending the night out of her comfort 🩷🫶🏼 she did well I will definitely book again in near future with yenny. Definitely recommend her 💯”
“Donna and Roland were wonderful with our little Maisie. They clearly love dogs and cats and they were very understanding about the fact that Maisie gets anxious when separated from us. Maisie seemed to adapt quickly due to their kind attention. We will definitely contact them again!”
“We were delighted with the care that Mike provided Maisie. Mike understood that as a small dog, she would need some snuggle time to reassure her. Mike and his wife clearly love dogs and I was confident that they would care for her as if she was their own pet. I would not hesitate to call them again.”
“Our minidoodle Sam had a great stay with Charlotte and Jordan, and their dog Kyber. Two things we especially like: They generally just take one dog at a time (more attention, and Sam loves attention!), and they live near some great walking trails. Very nice people.”
“Fantastic sitter! Very responsible and straightforward. Communication was smooth and clear throughout the stay, and I appreciated getting daily photo updates. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in great hands. Highly recommend!”
“This was the first time I've had to use a dog sitter outside of my family/friend group, and I felt super comfortable leaving my small dog with Denise. She provided updates and took very good care of my baby. Would totally go with her again.”
“Jennifer was amazing watching our puppy, Loki! She even provided pet taxi for pick up and drop off! She kept us updated throughout his weekend stay with her the entire time and he loved playing with her 2 pups! Thank you so much!”
“Julie and her family were amazing for our dog, Queso, and our family. She helped us out on a last minute cancellation of our dog sitter and took care of Queso for a full week. Her family took her on walks, played with her, and welcomed her into their home! She updated us with messages and photos. We are very grateful and hope to use her in the future. Thank you so much!”
“I’m so glad I found Stacey to care for my dog. She was Amazing! She provided pictures and updates daily which put my mind at ease. She took such good care of her that I was afraid she wouldn’t want to come home! Truly the BEST! Thank you!!”
“Brooke and her family took care of our pup like she was literally one of their own - they brought her along on many adventures and gave her all the love she could possibly want! We hope to have Willow stay with them many more times!”
“Belinda was wonderful with our furbaby and sent us an update each day. She was very accessible by text and easy to communicate with. Our dog got along well with her dog, Sloane, who is a sweetie. Also, she has the perfect fenced in yard for the dogs to play! We will certainly work with Belinda again!”
“Jing made our vacation so relaxing, by caring so well for Lucy, our 3 year old Havanese. She was responsive and had great communication with us including photos and updates on Lucy during her stay. It was great to hear and see that Lucy was comfortable and enjoying herself with Jing as well as other dogs. We could not be any happier with our first Rover experience. Thank you Jing! We will definitely ask for your help again. K, D. and Lucy🐶”
“David and his family did a great job of taking care of our senior dog! He settled in soon and seemed very comfortable around them. We would be very happy to have them as our sitter again.”
“Another amazing stay! They took such great care of Oakley. We had such peace of mind while we were away and really appreciated the check ins and all the pictures that were sent our way. Can’t recommend them enough and am happy to have found a trusted sitter for our pup.”

“Collette took excellent care of my two cats, one of whom requires medication (in pill form) twice daily. She watched them for a full week making two visits a day and keeping me informed of how they were doing and was up front with any issues that arose.”
“Leslie was great! The moment I met her I knew she was a great person. Though our Mocha only made one appearance for her, I know it wasn't from her lacking in trying. She covered all kinds of details, even brought packages in for us! Highly recommend her and if we go away again, we will certainly be reaching out to book her!”
About: I’ve owned cats my whole life, from young kittens to geriatric cats, and I’m very comfortable with all aspects of their daily care. I also have experience administering medications and providing special care when needed. I understand that every cat has a different personality, and I’m always happy to take the time to build trust at their own pace while giving them the patience and attention they need to feel safe and comfortable. As a huge cat lover, my top priority is always making sure every pet feels happy, safe, and comfortable in my care.
About: I’ve had dogs since young and I’ve loved to train them and work with them. I also really enjoy talking dogs for walks because it is super peaceful and fun. I am currently a college student who is already active. I go for runs at least 3 times a week and can incorporate more walks into my routine. I will abide by the clients rules and how they walk their animal. I also will try to create a bond with the pet so they want to go with me or allow me in their home.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and have had a cat of my own since I was a child, so I know just how much our pets become a part of the family. I’ve also had the opportunity to care for my neighbors’, family’s, and friends’ pets while they are away on vacation for the past 6 years. So I have lots of experience with keeping pets comfortable, happy, and on their normal routines while their owners are away. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and little quirks. Whether your cat is playful and energetic, shy and independent, or happiest curled up in a cozy spot, I’ll meet them where they’re comfortable. Most importantly, I’ll treat your fur babies like family and give them the same love, care, and attention I’d want for my own. 🐾❤️
“Michael took excellent care of our kitties as always! It gives us peace of mind knowing that we can rely on someone we trust to call on when going out of town and need pet care! We highly recommend Michael!”
About: I have cared for cats for almost 6 years through short-term petsitting and extended periods. I have cared for cats of neighbors, family members, as well as those in my community. These cats include kittens ranging to seniors, as well as different behaviors. I also have veterinary knowledge and I am trained in FearFree, Pet First aid, and Pet CPR. My background in the veterinary field and personal experience means that I am also capable of administering any medications including daily medications or preventatives. (Oral, topical, etc)
About: I have been dog sitting since I was in middle school. Friends, family, friends of friend, and neighbors have trusted me with their furry family members. As someone who has a little pup myself, I know the care and consideration each individual animal needs and deserves. I've worked with a variety of breads, behaviors, and ages and feel equipped to ensure a safe walk, play time, or check in for your dog. Personally, I've adopted a puppy Cairn Terrier, Ruckus. I've loved training with him, creating a bond, and learning more about dog behavior. It's been a really fun journey. He's a sassy little guy. I have been off Rover for the past few years, moving around and attending Grad School. I am excited to be back to help the Essex community care for their pets. I currently work from home, full time. I have flexibility in my schedule to do walks and drop in visits for your dog. Where I can provide full and undivided attention. When I have a dog I'm looking after, I will ensure safety and fun - however that looks for your doggie. Going for a walk, playing catch in the yard, or even just laying on the couch getting some pets. Your pet will be my priority for the duration of my visit.
“Jordyn did a wonderful job caring for our two cats while we were away. She made sure to keep us updated with photos and comments, would highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a pet sitter!”
About: I have a lot of patience for animals and I love entertaining them, whether that’s playing with them or going on a long walk. For the younger ones, or ones that just have more energy, I would love to run them and keep them in shape. I am super flexible this summer, aside from a few weeks of travel, so whatever works for you works for me. My main priority is going to the gym, but other than that I’m all yours! Whether it’s feeding, walking, brushing, playing, or simply snuggling, I’m always giving my full attention and affection. Also, I think mental stimulation is often overlooked in animal care so I try to incorporate fun games and activities.
“Laura was great. She cleaned some unfortunate litter box issues. Bless her. More importantly than that, though. I returned home to cats that were not stressed. This is a first for them and I’m so grateful.”
“Adele does a great job with the cats, she’s always on time and gives them play time and attention, checks their automated food and water and gives them extra food and treats when needed, cleans the litter box, and administers a liquid medicine.”
“Sabrina was great with our kitty and rabbit while we were away!! Leaving my fur babies makes me very anxious (they are both old and have their quirks), but it’s clear from Sabrina’s photos and check ins that the pets took to her quickly, as she is kind, understanding, and caring. She is also extremely communicative, and helped us out when she spotted a leak in the house!! Thank you Sabrina! Would definitely recommend.”
“Thanks for taking care of the pets. They had an amazing time with Rylee. We had a little bit of hiccup with ant getting into food situation as well as automatic food bowl breaking in the middle of the trip but Rylee was very kind to get us ant traps and clean the food up for the cats. Lots of great communication and amazing pictures. The pets were in a great hands.”

“Our dog had a great stay with Lisa! It was so nice to be able to leave him with someone with a lot of dog experience and clearly a lot of love for dogs. Our dog got along great with her dog. We would absolutely have him stay with Lisa again.”
“Julie and her family have been taking amazing care of Luca a few days a week for me while I adjust to a new work schedule. They really love him and treat him like their own. I love seeing pictures from their outings and walks! Luca is always excited to see them when I drop him off! As a new puppy mom I was nervous to leave him with anyone but Julie and her family made me feel so at ease. Would 10/10 recommend their services!”
“We have now left our boy with Jade a few times and Jade has been absolutely amazing with our pup! She is so caring and we know our boy is not the easiest, as loving as he is, and Jade always has good things to say which is all we can hope for! Thank you Jade. Looking forward to the next visit!”
“Lorraine and her family are awesome! She updated me with pictures and videos throughout my pup’s stay and I felt he was in a very safe and happy environment. We will definitely be working with Lorraine again!”
About: I love being surrounded by animals and have been around pets my entire life. For a long time now, I’ve been rescuing lost dogs and helping them find safe, loving homes. Currently, I have three dogs and a cat at my country house, as well as a 10-year-old senior dog at home. One of my dogs in the countryside is partially blind, and I'm the one who takes care of his special needs. This has given me great hands-on experience with senior and special-needs pet care. Spanish is my native language, and my home is fully bilingual! My kids are completely fluent in English and are always here to help with communication for all booking details and updates. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I am at home all day. My daily life revolves around taking care of my dog, maintaining our home, and waiting for my husband and children to return from work and school. Currently, my daughter is starting college this August, so I am looking for extra income to help pay for her tuition. This work is a perfect match for me because it naturally aligns with my everyday schedule, allowing me to give visiting pets full-time attention, love, and constant companionship. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. Since I spend my entire day at home, your pet will have constant presence and attention, a safe outdoor space, quiet walks and specialized care experience.
“Mirellys took wonderful care of Rosa and went above and beyond to make sure Rosa was comfortable during her stay. Mirellys also kept me updated throughout the day with photos and videos, which I really appreciated. I'd definitely use her again in the future.”
“Kristen and Bobby were great! They were quick to respond and when I left my dog with them I immedietly felt like he was in good hands. You can tell they are dog lovers! They sent updates throughout the day and were patient and understanding of my dog as he got used to being at a new spot.”

“Ana took such wonderful care of my dog for the past two full days, even with a last-minute reservation. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in such good hands. She made sure she got plenty of walks and lots of attention. I’m so grateful and would absolutely book with her again!”
“Lisa saved the day and took great care of our pups. Last minute request and made our stressful situation effortless. Cant wait for the pups to go back and spend time at her beautiful house and property!”
“I am absolutely thrilled to share my experience with Fae and Joseph, two incredible dog sitters I found on Rover! When we had to attend a funeral and needed someone to watch our dog for the day on a Saturday, I came across their profile and was immediately drawn in by the glowing reviews. I reached out, and they responded almost instantly to set up a time to discuss everything. From our very first conversation, I knew I had found the perfect caregivers for my three-year-old dog. Leading up to the appointment, Fae and Joseph kept me informed and reassured, which made me feel even more at ease about leaving my pup in their care. When I arrived at their home, Joseph greeted us with warmth and kindness. They had another friendly dog there, and I was impressed by how thoughtfully Joseph facilitated their introduction in a safe and welcoming manner. It was clear that they prioritize the well-being of all the dogs in their care. I requested updates throughout the day, and Joseph was more than happy to send me pictures and videos. My dog was clearly having a blast and was receiving top-notch care. After a day filled with fun and play, I picked him up and found him happily exhausted! I cannot recommend Fae and Joseph highly enough! If you're looking for trustworthy, caring, and attentive dog sitters, they are the perfect choice! Your pup will be in great hands with them!”

“Happy to leave a review of Collette and tipping is out of control so there will be no tip and I am guessing that is OK. I'm a bit taken aback by the request actually. Maybe because I am a senior. Collette was a dream! We will be doing more of this. GSDs are distinct dogs and not everybody likes them. It was clear from the start that Collette was up to the GSD challenge. They sometimes are too smart for their own good. A big thanks to Collette!”

I am able to work with your needs to ensure your reservation for care will work with my schedule and your needs. However I can help best! I am glad to offer home care but do not currently offer boarding at my home. I follow all directions given to ensure your pet’s schedule stays consistent

I consider myself to be an organized and dedicated person with a big heart for animals. I would be more than happy to assist with any local pet care needs. I have plenty of time in the afternoon after my classes and I would love to spend that time going on a walk or taking care of pets! I can walk the dogs for long enough to make sure they are tired, feed them, clean up after them and even give medications or special requests that the animals would need!

I’ve also lived with dogs throughout my life and have cared for friends’ and relatives’ pets while they were away. My experience includes walking, feeding, bathing, and administering medications for both dogs and cats when needed. I’m a huge animal lover and treat every pet like they’re my own.

I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means giving dogs plenty of exercise and enrichment or providing cats with patience, quiet time, and space to adjust at their own pace. I also prioritize communication with pet parents and provide updates so they feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.

“Jessica is clearly an animal lover and an all-around wonderful person. She has been great with my puppy, patient, caring, and very accommodating. When my pup had an upset stomach, she even tried different feeding options to help him feel better. I really appreciate the extra effort she’s willing to put into her care. She takes extra care to make sure he is both physically engaged and mentally stimulated. My puppy always looks forward to seeing her, and I have complete confidence that he is well cared for and having a great time whenever he’s with her.”

I raised and house trained a wild kitten last year and love spending time out walking with my two current huskies. I’ve taken care of them through surgeries, injuries and medications. I love animals and care very much about their joy and overall wellbeing. I would love to help get your dogs out walking or to simply spend some time giving some extra love to your furry friends. :) I have a fairly open schedule this summer. Generally, I am available mornings, afternoons and evenings for walks or at home check-ins. Overnight care can be discussed if it is needed, depending on my schedule. I am available to walk, play with, feed, or just watch over your animals if you are away. I love to take my dogs for beach, forest or simple town walks.

“Lindsay was a great sitter for our dog Wellington. She provided pictures and updates regularly which made all the difference. We were traveling for 9 days out of the country and really appreciated her caring and thoughtful messages. It really was clear how much she cared for our dog and it was very much appreciated.”
“Phydeau stayed for two nights. He’s old and had much medical care involved in his stay including pills and ear care which was all attended to so well. He came home happy and well cared for. He loves going to Michael’s!”
“We just love Rebeca and her whole family! They all pitch in and take care of the dogs that stay with them and we have a VERY active dog so it is so good for her to have lots of people to play with while we’re away. :) I can tell Cici always has the best time with them and we don’t have to worry about her at all while on vacation. We got the most gorgeous pics of her to see all the fun walks she was taking and fun games she was playing with their daughter. And at the end of the stay their daughter gave her a little Halloween goody bag with the CUTEST note talking about her favorite moment of Cici’s stay with her. It’s just so sweet you can see how much they care about your dog when they are with them. Cici will for sure be back over and over again! 🥰”
“Our minidoodle Sam had a great stay with Charlotte and Jordan, and their dog Kyber. Two things we especially like: They generally just take one dog at a time (more attention, and Sam loves attention!), and they live near some great walking trails. Very nice people.”
“Fantastic sitter! Very responsible and straightforward. Communication was smooth and clear throughout the stay, and I appreciated getting daily photo updates. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in great hands. Highly recommend!”
“I’m so glad I found Stacey to care for my dog. She was Amazing! She provided pictures and updates daily which put my mind at ease. She took such good care of her that I was afraid she wouldn’t want to come home! Truly the BEST! Thank you!!”
“Brooke and her family took care of our pup like she was literally one of their own - they brought her along on many adventures and gave her all the love she could possibly want! We hope to have Willow stay with them many more times!”
“Belinda was wonderful with our furbaby and sent us an update each day. She was very accessible by text and easy to communicate with. Our dog got along well with her dog, Sloane, who is a sweetie. Also, she has the perfect fenced in yard for the dogs to play! We will certainly work with Belinda again!”
“David and his family did a great job of taking care of our senior dog! He settled in soon and seemed very comfortable around them. We would be very happy to have them as our sitter again.”
“Natasha and Jonathan were super communicative and flexible, and my pup seemed like he had a great time staying with them for a few days. I’ll definitely bring him back the next time he needs daycare!”
“Otis had a great time with Jade! He came home happy and exhausted which was awesome. Jade was very responsive and you can tell she cares for all her doggie guests like they are her own.”
“Laura is excellent with our dog, who always comes home nice and tired. She is prompt and clear communicating about bookings, and very flexible with pick up and drop off times. She is definitely our go-to for dog sitting while we're away.”
“Jennifer is absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of my dog, Saint, while my kids and I were away on vacation. We didn’t want to board him for a week, and from the moment I reached out, Jennifer was kind, responsive, and incredibly easy to work with. If you’re considering booking with her, don’t hesitate—you and your pet will be in the best hands. We loved our photo and text updates, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing Saint was being cared for like one of the family. Thank you, Jennifer, for taking such amazing care of our boy!”
“So grateful for how good they took care of our fur baby 🥹 Had some delays with our flight and they were so understanding! Igo is so adorable and I’m so happy Kai had a friend to play with!”
“Zwany & Leandro were absolutely amazing with our puppy, Bambi! It was our first time boarding her, so we were a little nervous, but Zwany made the entire experience so smooth and reassuring. She sent constant updates along with pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Bambi clearly had the best time - her days were packed with activities and she was so loved and cared for by Zwany and her family. It honestly felt like Bambi had her own little vacation while we were away. We’re so grateful for the care and attention they gave her and would recommend them 100% to anyone looking for a loving and attentive dog boarder.”
“From our very first meeting, I could tell Sylwia was special! She took so much time and care to get to know our pup Lucy, understand her, and ensure that Lucy would be comfortable and successful during her stay with Sylwia. She was incredibly thoughtful and overall provided a fantastic experience- sending updates throughout the day, making sure that we are comfortable as well. Would absolutely recommend Sylwia!”
“Freddi was a fantastic sitter for my dog, Edie! She sent great photos and updates during her stay. She clearly took great care of Edie, taking her on long walks on the beach every morning and being sensitive to her needs since she can be anxious in new places. We definitely would recommend Freddi and hope to have Edie stay again in the future!”
“Donna and John are great to work with and we fully trust them with our pup. They communicated well before and during our trip and it was clear our dog settled in quickly and was comfortable throughout. We'll be asking them to sit again for sure!”
“Mike and his family did a wonderful job taking care of our Bernese Mountain Dog. They send lots of photos and really treat her like one of the family, she has the best time there and I know she is being well cared for, highly recommend.”
