I was really nervous about leaving my husky for a week. After meeting with Justin I was more at ease..till drop off day..then it all hit..Justin kept reassuring me that stratus would be fine and I felt better..but when I got the 1st update and I saw him playing with other pups and that goofy husky tongue hanging I knew he was ok. Justin and Stephanie were great with pupdates and communicated throughout the stay. If I messaged they were quick to respond. My boy came home happy healthy and I would recommend Justin to anyone. They provided pictures and messages. I was at ease knowing he was well taken care of. Will be using again as we do have a couple more trips planned

I’m grateful that Lindsey accepted Cecelia in her home as her own, and for the gentle care that she provided. From the pictures Lindsey sent me and the texts on the daily basis (even multiple times a day), I could tell that Cecelia was feeling very comfortable, happy, and content that all her needs were being met. I highly recommend Lindsey, and would definitely ask her for the care of Cecelia again.

Sharon and her family is great. My first impression was that I felt I was dropping my puppy off at my family's house, a place where he would be loved and cared for and not left in a crate while I was away. I've already been there twice and will be going there as long as I can when the need arises. Thank you Sharon!

Never had to leave my pup behind before, was super nervous. He did great, Tabby was great. Got my man back happy as could be. Must’ve had a good time because he is the nervous type and it was like he didn’t even realize we were gone! She was awesome. Easy drop off, easy pick up. Got my dude back in one piece and happy. Couldn’t ask for better!

My Frenchies are my children: there is nothing more important to me in this world. I have never left them with anyone (Henry almost 2; Sammy 1). I combed Rover for 5 hours over the course of a few days and serendipitously landed on Jen's profile. I was SOLD after our "Meet and Greet." You can just feel how special Jen is when you meet her. Jen was in constant communication with me; staying with her was basically a vacation for my boys; she sent me #allthephotos; she updated me multiple times a day; she made sure my special needs baby got all the special attention he requires; and when I picked the boys up my little Sammy was still watching Jen as we were about to leave. I know that he misses her, and that makes me so happy that she bonded with him that way. Listen. All my future trips - work or professional - will be planned around Jen's availability. Simply put, she is an amazing human being whose passion is caring for animals.

The fact that Courtney is a vet was one of the reasons I reached out to see if she was able to watch Sunny for a weekend while I was out of town due to how anxious she can get. Let me tell you, she did not disappoint. During the meet and greet, she asked about emergency vet info and offered her office as an option for urgent but non-emergency situations since I don’t have a primary emergency vet. She was aware of Sunny’s needs while she was there. Courtney also kept great communication and sent lots of videos and pics during her stay. I would 10/10 recommend her and will definitely be booking services with her again when the time comes!

Cassandra took great care of our dog over the Christmas holiday! Hazel doesn’t always eat much while she is staying at someone’s house (regardless of who it is), so Cassandra kept us updated when she was or wasn’t eating - and eventually Hazel did settle in to better eating habits! Her concern and attention was really appreciated. Hazel also gets an allergy pill twice a day which Cassandra kept up with too. Thank you for caring for our dog!

Quincy is a sweetheart and got along nicely with Jax. By the time we went to get Jax, he was tired, happy, and it looked like he was well loved! Definitely will board with her again. Highly recommended!

Marlee is fantastic! She went above and beyond when caring for our cat while we're away. She did everything we asked of her and more. Our cat is aloof and not very friendly with strangers, but Marlee had that magic touch and got her to come out, eat, and play. We highly recommend Marlee, and will definitely request her services again in the future.

About: I have cared for cats ranging from kittens to seniors for roughly 10 years. I am comfortable giving medications whether it be in pill form, liquid form, or inhaled — I am happy to make sure they get what they need, calmly and without stress. Litter boxes, teeth brushing, whatever routine you have in place for your kitty, I am sure to follow!

Megan was a true trooper with Mozart. For some reason, he would not show up when she came, always right on schedule. She made sure he was okay, put out his food, then cleaned up any that was left on her next visit. Megan did not get discouraged by Mozart not appearing. She kept to her tasks. He finally did let her see him and play with.him on her next to last visit. Would use her again.

She went the extra mile to make sure my cat took her pill and made sure she ate (my cat stops eating when her people are away). I’d highly recommend her to trust that she’ll take care of your fur babies when you’re away.

About: Animals are Gods among us. I agree with Ricky Gervais, that "a dog loves you more than it loves itself, and that's why I worship dogs." Honestly, this gig is a bit selfish - my sweet baby Pit Mix passed away recently & I miss her terribly. I'm certain that engaging with animals will soothe this depression. I am socially awkward with humans, but I love animals. This will be therapy, a true gift, to me. I also need to exercise more and would like to be able to afford any kind of home, some day. My family has had pets since I was in kindergarten. I volunteered with Faithful Friends in High School, through which I also fostered kittens. I have taken care of my neighbors' & friends' pets while away over the years, which I equate to a collective total of ~2 years. I take medical issues very seriously & cared for my doll when she was ill. I understand how stressful & important it is. My favorite thing about walking a dog is when the folded tops of their ears bounce up and down. I work full time until ~4:30PM, but I am usually free after. I am available for boarding on the weekends. On the days I work from home (typically Monday & Wednesday), I can also provide a walk or check in during my lunch hour (1 to 2PM). There are no other animals or children in my home; your pet will have my undivided attention. I have a large partially fenced in yard, and many walking trails nearby. I'm also happy to take care of a pet in your home, if preferred.

About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and genuine love for cats of all personalities. I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and have years of experience caring for cats for friends and family, so I understand that every cat has their own unique preferences and boundaries. Whether your cat is playful and social or more shy and independent, I take the time to build trust and make them feel comfortable in their own space. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, litter care, and enrichment—whether that’s interactive play, quiet companionship, or just giving them space when they need it. I’m also happy to care for senior cats and provide gentle, attentive support. I’m reliable, communicative, and always focused on making sure your cat feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away. You can count on me to treat your cat (and your home) with the same care and respect I would my own.

About: Experience with owning and caring for 4 dogs & 1 cat, in my household- at once. Over 16 years of experience with Dachshunds, Pitbull’s, Rottweilers, Chihuahuas, many breeds of cats, Flemish giant rabbits, and turtles. Enjoy being active and taking care of our little creature and other’s loved ones! ❤️ Every animal is different, so their care needs to be unique and carefully planned for their happiness. Giving lots of attention and love to your little creatures when you are working hard- and you don’t have to rush home to let them out or feed them. Want to spend my free time helping and taking care of the beautiful and loving animals we have the chance to meet. Very fortunate enough to have many animals in my life. My schedule on the app is always up to date. If I am booked on the schedule, please still free to reach out, as cancelations happen! 😊 I just moved into a new house, so I created different spaces for the animals to safely play, and relax in. I am very flexible on drop off and pick up times. I love meeting new people, and have no problem traveling to clients houses to sit their animals. Overall, I love every type of animal, and even though I do not have a dog of my own currently, I hope to add a furry friend to my family shortly after I grow my family. :)

About: All my life, I have been surrounded by dogs. I have been dog sitting for friends and family throughout the years and gained some experience through that. I am reliable, organized, responsible, and accountable. Overall, I want to gain more experience with doing something I love. Pet care fits into my daily or weekly routine because I have 2 dogs of my own and a horse. I am used to providing them with their everyday needs, daily walks, and showering them with affection along the way. They need a lot of attention, love, and care every day and I enjoy giving it to them! I provide whatever needs necessary for the pet. I make sure they go on daily walks, being fed at the proper time, making sure water bowls are full, and having plenty of play time with them.

About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was young and have always loved caring for animals. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their furry family members over the years. Now that I have a mini Goldendoodle of my own, I’m always excited to welcome more pups to love and care for! My dog would love some new friends to play with, and your furry companion will always be safe, well cared for, and treated like family in our home. I’d also like to mention I have 2 cats and they are friendly and do their own thing. My schedule is flexible and I can work from home most of the time! That being said, your furry friend will get a lot of attention. I usually try and go for a walk in the morning and around lunch time. I have a yard; however, it is not fenced. I live toward the end of a quiet neighborhood and always keep a close eye on any dogs in my care. I spend a lot of time outside playing and going on walks, so your pup will get plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship. My 3-year-old dog is friendly, playful, and also enjoys relaxing, so your furry friend will have a balanced and comfortable stay.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. There has not been a time I have not had a dog. I help out in a dog kennel sometimes bathing and playing with the dogs. I do not have a job right now so I am home most of the time. I do leave the house in the morning and afternoon to care for my horses. I have a big back yard that is fenced in. The dogs that come to stay here are treated with as much love as I would give my own dogs.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up with dogs and cats, and now having two rescue dogs of my own, I just can't imagine life without them. I haven't used Rover before, but I've spent years watching friends' dogs and cats whenever they needed someone they could trust. I've raised puppies, cared for kittens, and even handled medications when needed, so I'm no stranger to what animals need to feel safe and loved. I come to your home so your babies can stay in their own space, in their own routine. Every animal is different and I take the time to get to know them. Big or small, they all get the same gentle, attentive care. I just genuinely love animals, and that's something you'll see the moment I meet your pet. I'm always happy to set up a meet-up before booking so we can connect, your pet can get comfortable with me, and we can make sure it feels like the right fit for everyone I recently graduated from Arcadia University with my Master's in Physician Assistant Studies. While I study for my boards and prepare to move back home to Washington, I have time on my hands and want to spend it doing something I truly enjoy. Right now my days are completely open, which means your dog gets my full attention. No rushing off, no squeezing them in between a busy schedule. I'm there as long as they need me. As the mom of two very needy rescue dogs, I completely understand wanting your babies to have someone around as much as possible, and right now, I'm in a position to give exactly that! Since I will be in your home, my first priority is to respect whatever routine and rules you have in place for your pet. I am happy to provide as much or as little entertainment, snuggles, or space as your fur baby needs. When it comes to walks, I'm no stranger to dogs that pull on the leash or get reactive around other dogs. I've handled strong, reactive animals before and I feel confident and calm managing them.

I contacted Erikah, last minute, to walk my mom's energetic Golden Retriever. She responded within two hours and adjusted her plans to walk the dog the same day! My mom raved about her approach--super friendly--as well as how well she handled Beamer. He jumped all over her when she arrived, but she stayed cool, calmed him down and got to the walk. She walked him for the full hour and actually wore him down. Absolutely A+

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and grew up caring for my own family pup, so pet care has always come naturally to me. Over the past year, I also fostered two dogs myself through Human Animal Partners of Delaware—one energetic puppy and one sweet senior. The puppy gave me hands-on experience with basic training, routine building, and positive reinforcement, while the senior pup helped me gain confidence with gentle handling, slower-paced walks, and making sure medications and comfort needs were met. Both dogs were successfully adopted, and fostering taught me how to adapt to different personalities, build trust quickly, and create a safe, loving environment for any dog. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely treat every pet like my own. This upcoming semester my class load is very light, which means I have plenty of free time throughout the day. I can be flexible with walks, drop-ins, and routines, and I’m happy to adjust to whatever your pet needs—whether that’s frequent potty breaks, longer walks, or extra cuddle time. When caring for pets my top priorities are safety, comfort, and consistency. I will always follow your pet’s normal routines as closely as possible so they feel secure, and I make sure they have plenty of supervision, especially during meals, walks, and playtime. I’m attentive to details like locked doors, secure leashes, and avoiding any unsafe foods or environments. I focus on creating a calm, positive atmosphere where pets can relax and feel at ease. I’m patient with shy or anxious animals, and I take the time to let them warm up at their own pace. Communication is also important to me, so you can expect updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s well-being is my priority, and I treat every animal with the same care and attention I’d want for my own.

I was really nervous about leaving my husky for a week. After meeting with Justin I was more at ease..till drop off day..then it all hit..Justin kept reassuring me that stratus would be fine and I felt better..but when I got the 1st update and I saw him playing with other pups and that goofy husky tongue hanging I knew he was ok. Justin and Stephanie were great with pupdates and communicated throughout the stay. If I messaged they were quick to respond. My boy came home happy healthy and I would recommend Justin to anyone. They provided pictures and messages. I was at ease knowing he was well taken care of. Will be using again as we do have a couple more trips planned

My Frenchies are my children: there is nothing more important to me in this world. I have never left them with anyone (Henry almost 2; Sammy 1). I combed Rover for 5 hours over the course of a few days and serendipitously landed on Jen's profile. I was SOLD after our "Meet and Greet." You can just feel how special Jen is when you meet her. Jen was in constant communication with me; staying with her was basically a vacation for my boys; she sent me #allthephotos; she updated me multiple times a day; she made sure my special needs baby got all the special attention he requires; and when I picked the boys up my little Sammy was still watching Jen as we were about to leave. I know that he misses her, and that makes me so happy that she bonded with him that way. Listen. All my future trips - work or professional - will be planned around Jen's availability. Simply put, she is an amazing human being whose passion is caring for animals.

The fact that Courtney is a vet was one of the reasons I reached out to see if she was able to watch Sunny for a weekend while I was out of town due to how anxious she can get. Let me tell you, she did not disappoint. During the meet and greet, she asked about emergency vet info and offered her office as an option for urgent but non-emergency situations since I don’t have a primary emergency vet. She was aware of Sunny’s needs while she was there. Courtney also kept great communication and sent lots of videos and pics during her stay. I would 10/10 recommend her and will definitely be booking services with her again when the time comes!

Cassandra took great care of our dog over the Christmas holiday! Hazel doesn’t always eat much while she is staying at someone’s house (regardless of who it is), so Cassandra kept us updated when she was or wasn’t eating - and eventually Hazel did settle in to better eating habits! Her concern and attention was really appreciated. Hazel also gets an allergy pill twice a day which Cassandra kept up with too. Thank you for caring for our dog!

Jax’s stay at Yvonne’s was absolutely perfect. You can tell that she knows how to handle dogs. She has a well maintained and nice backyard where Jax loved playing with Quincy. Quincy is a sweetheart and got along nicely with Jax. By the time we went to get Jax, he was tired, happy, and it looked like he was well loved! Definitely will board with her again. Highly recommended!

Superb experience in all aspects. Initial inquities, booking process and all communications were expedient and clear. This was the first time boarding for our 7 month old puppy (song with his 4 year old "sister". Alexandra having experience with Great Danes was so very helpful and made our fur babies feel welcomed and loved. They especially enjoyed time with the girls! Unfortunately (for the sitters) the weather was rainy throughout, but Alexandra and daily were up to the challenges of wet pups with muddy paws. In addition, the younger one's night separation anxiety required some medication and thoughtful handling, all of which was accommodated and communicated with ease. The dogs were extremely well cared for and loved, and we received regular updates. Simply put, we couldn't be happier and will definitely use their services again whether for short or week long needs in the future. We recommend them with absolute highest praise and confidence!

If you want to be certain your dog is happy and loved while you’re away, then they are the right people to hire. I received daily photos/videos and their communication was excellent. Thank you so much for caring for Elsie so well!

Working with Megan and Jacob was a pleasure! Cooper looked like he was having a wonderful time in all the pictures they sent. Dunkin’ and the other buddies were great companions while he was there, too.

Elizabeth was great! She sent plenty of updates during our dog’s stay, which was greatly appreciated and followed all instructions when it came to him. She was also super sweet and her family was just as sweet, we felt very comfortable leaving Meechie with her.

Andres was great! My dog loved staying with him and his wife and was very content. This was my first time using Rover and he helped me understand the process and answered all my questions. I will definitely book with him again. Thank you Andres!

Lauren was so great with my dog, Pablo. She was always quick to respond with messages, and sent really nice pictures and updates each day. She was flexible with scheduling, and always very professional and friendly. I know my dog was happy and felt right at home with her, and I would absolutely use her again!
