“Jeren was absolutely incredible! I had to make several changes within a few days before our booking and she was so quick to respond and accommodate. Jeren constantly kept us updated with pictures and videos of our baby throughout his visit. We are so grateful and will definitely be booking again!”
“Lindsay provided great care for our dog Daisy while we were away on vacation. We enjoyed all the photos of Daisy with the family and Lindsay's dog Coco playing in the large fenced in back yard. I would definitely recommend and will be booking again in the future.”
“Jen’s the best! Highly recommended her services. It’s a great sign when Piper is super excited when we pull up and doesn’t wanna leave. I know she is in good hands and having a blast!”
“Katelyn provided the most amazing care for our puppy!! He was spoiled with multiple walks, many treats, and tons of snuggles while we were away for a long weekend. He became friends with their sweet husky as well. Can’t wait for him to stay with her family again soon!! Thank you!!”
“Michelle has been caring for our dog, Lucy, for years now... and we have been nothing but pleased with her loving care for Lucy, her great communication, and dependability. Lucy loves her vacations with Michelle, and we always feel 100% confident in the care we know she will receive. Definitely 5 stars in every area!”
“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.”
“Paris did a wonderful job taking care of my little one! She kept us updated with pictures and his overall wellbeing which I appreciated! He seem to really love Paris which is great because he doesn't get exposed to many people so it was a plus that he seems to love her! We will definitely board with her again! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and considerate dogsitter!”
“Kimberly and her family took great care of our dog Winnie while we were away over the holiday break! She sent pictures every day of her enjoying time inside and outside on her walks about the neighborhood. We are so grateful that we found them and will definitely use her in the future! Thank you, Kimberly!”
“Gisel and her family took great care of my girl Kola. Kola had a case of severely itchy paws pop up the day before we were set to leave town. I was able to get some meds from the vet before we left. I let Gisel know what was going on with Kola, as she was licking and chewing her paws and they were very red. I kept socks on her paws and gave her Benadryl in between the meds from the vet. Gisel also kept this up for the four days Kola stayed with her family. I was so thankful and appreciative of the extra care Gisel and her family gave Kola. Kola’s itchy paws popped up so last minute and Gisel assured me she would take great care of her and she did just that! I would definitely use Gisel again for Kola!”
“Dana is the absolute best rover sitter! She loves and cares for your dogs as if they were her own. Always communicative and goes the extra mile to take care of your pets.”
“As a first time user of Rover and first time search for a cat sitter, Elena definitely set the standard. From the first contact, Elena was incredibly responsive, very kind, and extremely welcoming of my babies. Elena and her children took such good care of my babies, as they allowed them space to adjust while being open to their affection as they warmed up. I had peace of mind that my babies were in good hands as she invited them into her home with open arms. When I picked Pocket and Rocket up, they were so soft from freshly brushed hair and calmer to get back into the car. I would absolutely recommend Elena to take care of your cats, as they will get plenty of cuddles, play time, and freedom to explore their new space. Thank you, Elena and kids!!”
“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.”
“This was a great experience. I think I got more excited driving up the driveway seeing the horses the mini horses the goats, the chickens, hearing the roosters. I know Teddy must've had a great time. Will definitely use again!”
“We highly recommend Candice! She will love your pup as her own! She took great care of our pup and sent lots of photos. She has a big yard and room for the pups as well! Our dog also has a bit of energy so it was perfect that he could play with her pup as well. He came home worn out and well loved!!”
“Jason and Tracy were wonderful. Our dog is a rescue and has some anxiety issues. They understood and were so patient with her. They also sent me pictures every day. I knew that she was completely safe and happy while we were away. Thanks to both of you!!”
“Jermaine took good care of my 7 year old pit bull for a week. He either updated me first or answered my questions in a timely manner when I asked for updates. I also received some pictures throughout the week of my boy. Overall I had a great experience and will be using Jermaine again!”
“Hester is great. Very good communication. Follows up quickly. Keeps me in the loop during my dogs stay. And I usually get a tired and happy dog after the stay. Very happy I found Hester!”
“Brooke was fantastic! She took both my dogs over the Christmas holiday. Super sweet and caring. Gave text updates with pictures and was flexible with pickup/dropoff. Would definitely recommend her!”

About: I was a cat sitter during my first few years of high school. My neighbor was out of state and asked me to take care of her cat. During this time, I would visit at minimum, three times a day to make sure the cat had food and water, had some playtime, and to clean and freshen the litter box. The owner had specific instructions for feeding that I would follow and prepare accordingly. Like dogs, I have a special place in my heart for cats and I always make sure their needs are fulfilled.
“Oh my gosh! Jeren was truly AMAZING! One of my cats has anxiety and Jeren was so patient with him when having to give him his medicine. She made sure not to stress him out too much. My other cat loved seeing her and gave her a lot of attention. I loved getting her notes and pictures every day. I definitely will ask Jeren to take care of my boys again!”
“Excellent and thorough! Clearly loves dogs and cats. She was on time and did everything I listed for my pets. The Rover site was easy to use and it gave me quick access to pick Summer as our sitter. Will definitely have her back!”
“Elizabeth did a great job taking Zuma on his walks and keeping us posted on everything including sending pictures! We highly recommend Elizabeth for your pet care needs!”
About: I’ve been dog walking and sitting for neighbors since I was 12 years old. I’ve dog sat multiple types of dogs. I’ve done dog walking, check-in & potty break visits, and I’ve stayed at a clients home for long periods of time (5+ days) to be with their pups. I’ve also been tasked with administering insulin shots to dogs before. And I have a lot of experience with dogs that have anxiety, whether with new people, thunderstorms, or anything else, as I have one myself and a long remaining client of mine does as well. I’ve always loved dogs, having grown up having 2 smaller dogs myself. I am hoping to do pet sitting as a new permanent business, so I will have nothing but time to look after your pets! I will schedule out days and time periods based on client necessity and to provide the optimal care for your pets. Because I have two dogs myself, one of which has severe people and other animal anxiety, which for the safety of your pets and mine means I am unable to bring any pets into my home as of current. However, I’ve stayed at the homes of clients before to be with their pups while they’re away. I feed them every morning and night or make sure the food bowl is full depending on how the client feeds their dogs. I give them any medicine or joint tablets that they need to be well. I let them out multiple times a day whenever they need it. And I try to play with and pet them as much as I can while I’m there so they don’t miss their humans too much. I will even take them on a walk if allowed.
“Sydney met with me and Jojo beforehand and then did a drop-in visit with Jojo. Jojo loved her visit. It was nice knowing I can count on Sydney while I am at work and I received a report card, pictures & a video! Thanks so much!”
About: As a CPDT-KA certified trainer, I offer dog walking services that go beyond basic exercise. Each walk incorporates training and enrichment tailored to your dog’s unique needs. My expertise is ideal for dogs who are fearful, nervous, hyper, or reactive—especially those other walkers may find challenging. A training walk is a perfect way to advance your dog’s progress when your schedule is too packed for regular training sessions. Please note: My walking services are not suitable for aggressive dogs. If you’re dealing with aggression, please contact me directly or explore my specialized training services. I offer training walk services Monday through Friday, with both daytime and evening availability. For the best results, I recommend scheduling two sessions per week, such as Monday/Tuesday or Wednesday/Thursday. I exclusively use positive reinforcement techniques to care for and train dogs, whether during training walks or in your home. My focus is on creating a safe, encouraging environment that builds trust and confidence in your dog. Each session is tailored to meet your dog’s unique needs while reinforcing good behaviors in a kind and effective way. With this approach, I ensure your dog feels supported and thrives in their routine.

About: Hi there! I have been caring for animals since a very young age. Growing up, we always had at least 2 dogs and raised litters of puppies at times. I had a sweet boy of my own (Nixon, in my profile photo) who I raised from a pup, but sadly passed away this year. I am an active person and love caring for animals, taking them for ample walks and pup cups, or just good company! Having a pet by my side is natural for me and would love to care for yours! I work from home full time and have a flexible schedule so I have ample time to take pets for walks, play, and they will never be lonely if staying with me! We have a townhome in Eastport which is a very walkable area and there is a backyard of green space for easy access potty breaks. Always will be leashed. I previously had a husky that wasn’t trusted off leash so I am overly cautious on that! Pets are allowed on furniture/ beds if owners allow. We have several decks if they like to look out and the boat action or sunbathe!
“Dana is our guardian angel. I am a self proclaimed helicopter mama but I felt completely at easy leaving my little girl.

About: I will love and take care of your pets as if they were my own. I love to go out and play with pets I care for. I would dog sit when I was in high school for different families. Those families loved how attentive I was, and as a result they would refer me to their friends. I’m always available for you buddies! You and me both know that your pets are more than pets, theyre family. You don’t want just anyone taking care of family. I do currently work full time, however I have a job that is extremely flexible. I set my own hours, including when I am in my office. This pairs perfectly with animal care and house care because I can come and go as frequently as needed. Due to my open schedule I can be available for any needs your pets may have. I prefer to let the client tell me exactly what they want for their pet. I like to keep your life as simple as possible while giving you peace of mind by following any requests you have. If you need your animal crated, if you want them roaming, whatever is asked you can expect to be done.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12 and can’t imagine life without them! While serving in the Navy, I volunteered at military kennels, and later worked at a doggy daycare/boarding/training facility in Texas. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior pets, and I share my home with a sweet 10-year-old lab and a 2-year-old Norwegian Forest Cat. Reliable, patient, and attentive — I promise to treat your pets like my own. I have a flexible schedule and lots of love to give! Whether it’s a quick walk or a cozy check-in, I’ll make sure your furry family members get plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own, keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable. During walks, I pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings to ensure a fun and secure outing. For in-home check-ins, I follow all your instructions carefully, provide love and attention, and make sure your pets feel relaxed and cared for while you’re away.
About: My name is Jeren! I am a local business owner, lifelong Eastern Shore resident and animal lover! I regularly work with and foster for several rescues in addition to petsitting, and have experience with bottle feeding, medical fostering, medication administration, and after surgery wound care, as well as light training, and “feral school” with feral and semi feral cats. Being my own boss allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and the ability to provide as many "in home" visits as your individual pet(s) requires, or give them as much attention, walks, playtime and quality time in my home as they need. For boarding stays in my home I do request that for dogs they be other dog and cat friendly, as I do own animals of my own. For cats I do have the ability to keep them separated from my animals and give them their own "room" with window cat perch, toys and bed that are all thoroughly cleaned between each client. I am a lifelong pet owner and have owned and worked with everything from hamsters to horses(even reptiles!), I have experience owning and working with high energy and working class dog breeds, as well as ferral and semi ferral cats. Pets are family, and when they are with me they will always be treated as such! I am a stay at home mom with a flexible schedule allowing me to give your pups/kitties as much attention and care as they require. I provide several leashed walks per day, and well as play time in the yard, either on my long line(lunge line previously used for my horses) or in our chain link dog run(dogs are NEVER left unattended). In the home pets are allowed run of the house, unless separation is required. I do use crates or gate them in my kitchen/dining room area if I have to run out for whatever reason. This is to insure their safety and prevent them from getting into anything while unsupervised. I am able to provide crates of various sizes, up to XXL or you are welcome to bring your pets crate with them if you feel they would be more comfortable with their own
About: I’ve spent the last 15 years caring for animals and treating every pet like part of the family. I have hands-on experience with 3 cats, a lovable Frenchie Pug, and plenty of experience handling different pet personalities, routines, and energy levels. From daily walks and feeding schedules to playtime and cuddles, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy and dependable caring for your pets. I focus on creating a calm, loving environment while keeping routines consistent so pets feel at ease. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or needs extra patience, I’m committed to giving them personalized care and attention every step of the way. I take care of my animals everyday I walk them and feed them and they use the restroom in our fenced in yard I give them lots of love as well I have a fenced in yard and 5 friendly animals 3 cats and 2 dogs who are docile and very friendly to any pet that comes in to my home
About: I’ve had dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes my entire life, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of who I am. Over the years I’ve owned and cared for many different breeds and personalities, including Saint Bernards, Great Danes, and Coonhounds, which gave me plenty of experience handling large and giant-breed dogs. I’ve also shared my home with multiple cats over the years—many of them seniors—so I understand the patience, routine, and gentle care older pets often need. I’ve spent years fostering animals as well, frequently working with senior pets and dogs that may be anxious or slow to trust new people. I pride myself on being patient and letting animals warm up to me at their own pace so they can feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. My home currently includes an Alaskan Klee Kai and a Border Collie mix, so daily life already revolves around exercise, enrichment, and making sure dogs stay happy and engaged. When I travel, my trips are often pet-focused—I’ve driven cross-country multiple times with my dogs to explore new trails, parks, and adventures together. For walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, I always aim to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel secure in their own home. As a larger and experienced handler, I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs on leash and adapting to different energy levels—whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers relaxed companionship and a calm presence. I’m also experienced in administering most medications and providing attentive care for senior pets who may need a little extra support. I have a very flexible work schedule, and can accommodate most dogs needs! As far as overnight sitting, I will be there from 8 pm until 8 am and will also be coming by a few times a day. Puppies and youngsters (or whoever needs it!) can be accommodated with more drop ins just let me know! If you require 24/7 care this can be arranged as well just let me know prior to booking! Your dog’s comfort and routine are my top priorities. I provide focused attention, interactive play, and companionship tailored to your pup’s personality — from calm evenings at home to energetic walks or adventures at parks and trails. I’m experienced with all sizes and breeds, so whether your dog is a tiny pup or a gentle giant, they’ll receive care that’s attentive and consistent. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, happy, and fully engaged throughout their stay

As I would be coming to your home, I will do exactly as told, by you the owner. My main priority is your animals health and well-being.
About: I have 8 animals of my own, both dogs and cats. I also work part time as a Kennel Technician so I am very familiar with different animal personalities and how I’m expected to care for them! Neighbors, friends, family & clients have relied on me to care for their furry friends and I’ve loved getting to know each one. I am pet CPR & First aid Certified. I work as a nanny from 11-5 as well as dog sitting overnights frequently. I work as a nanny from 11-5 in Southampton. College is online so that won’t be a problem right now. My scheduled days can change but shifts are no longer than 6 hours at a time, Mon-Fri. I live in Sayville. I have plenty of time in the morning & afternoon for long walks and fetch! My weekends are completely free. I will take wonderful care of your pets as if they were my own. My pups love to play outside and get lots of attention so I want to share the love!! It’s always fun getting to know your dogs and cats. I have built a trusted clientele over the last 3 years of being on Rover. I am very responsible and will care for your house just as well as your pets! I know it takes a lot to entrust someone in your home so I won’t let you regret it.
About: For me, pet care has never been just a job—it's been a lifelong passion. I was raised in a family of professional trainers and boarders, where I learned from an early age how to properly care for dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs. We also spent countless hours working alongside local shelters, helping dogs build confidence and prepare for their forever homes. Professionally, I have over 20 years of experience working in boarding, training assistance, behavioral rehabilitation, and pet care. In 2012, I began my career as a professional dog groomer and later became certified to groom both dogs and cats. In 2020, I became certified to train new groomers as they worked toward their professional certifications. Today, I combine all of that experience to provide a calm, loving, and individualized experience for every pet in my care. My Specialties I specialize in creating fear-free, low-stress experiences built on patience, trust, and compassion. Some of my areas of expertise include: • Fear-free handling and grooming • Trauma rehabilitation grooming for pets who cannot safely visit traditional salons due to fear, anxiety, or behavioral concerns • Senior pet care • Puppy care and socialization • Pets with medical or mobility challenges • Basic training and reinforcement of good manners • Administering medications while carefully monitoring for symptoms or side effects One of my greatest passions is helping fearful dogs learn that grooming and handling don't have to be scary. Rather than forcing pets through services, I work at their pace, building trust over time with the goal of helping them become comfortable and confident again. Many of my clients come to me after being turned away from traditional grooming salons due to behavioral or medical concerns. What Your Pet Can Expect I strive to make every stay feel like a vacation with family rather than simply boarding. Your pet may enjoy: • Daily walks (typically 2-4 per day, while following your normal routine whenever possible) • Plenty of one-on-one attention and affection • Playtime, enrichment, and exercise • Trips to the dog park (with your permission and only if appropriate for your pet) • Picture, video, and message updates throughout their stay • A calm, loving home environment where they are treated like family One unique tradition many pets come to love is bedtime story time. It may sound unusual, but quietly reading aloud has helped many anxious dogs relax before bed. I've even seen it help dogs experiencing storm anxiety or fear of loud noises settle more comfortably. Routine is incredibly important to me. If your pet has a specific schedule, feeding routine, medication plan, or bedtime ritual, I'll do everything possible to maintain it while they're in my care. Because of my experience working with behavioral and medical cases, I also pay close attention to subtle changes in your pet's behavior, mobility, appetite, and overall well-being. If I notice anything concerning, I'll communicate with you immediately and act quickly in your pet's best interest. Communication & Grooming I believe communication is one of the most important parts of pet care. The more I know about your pet's personality, routines, preferences, and medical history, the better experience I can provide. In return, you'll receive detailed updates about how they're doing, including behavior, activities, and anything I notice that may be helpful for you to know. During boarding or daycare stays, I'm also happy to reinforce basic training and offer guidance on grooming maintenance, body language, and behavioral changes that may strengthen your bond with your pet at home. Professional grooming services are available for pets staying in my care. Grooming recommendations, pricing, and service completion depend on your pet's size, coat condition, medical needs, and stress level. My philosophy is simple: I will never force a pet through a service. Their comfort, trust, and emotional well-being always come first. Booking Information To help protect my home while still providing every pet with the highest level of care, the estimated price for boarding and daycare includes a refundable cleaning/security fee. This fee is fully refunded after your pet's stay provided there is no excessive damage or extraordinary cleaning required beyond normal pet messes. I believe this allows me to continue offering a clean, safe, and comfortable environment for every guest while being fair to both pet parents and my home. My goal is simple: every pet should leave my care feeling safe, loved, understood, and excited to come back. I am generally home all day. I do work as a groomer for pets that are unable to got to salons, but I do this from home as well. So your pets will have round the clock love and care. You will need to provide any food and specific treats if your pet has a favorite or dietary restrictions/allergies. Pets are family. I will personally take them for walks throughout the day for fresh air and exercise, play with them and ensure they feel comfortable and lived while you are away. I do offer creating services, however, depending on the size of your dog, you may have to supply the crate. You pet will always be treated like family, but the details of their routine and activities will depend on your instructions. I respect that different lifestyles require different things (i.e crating vs free roam, scheduled feeding vs grazing, scheduled walks/potty breaks vs whenever they want to go out, etc.) and will maintain that sense of normalcy as much as possible. If you opt for grooming, and I am able to comfortably groom your dog, grooming will take place 1-2 days before your return. That way they have time to decompress after, and if they are stressed for parts, it gives leeway to do little bits over time.
About: Throughout high school and now college I have sat for dogs and cats. I have taken care of many dogs, playing with them, feeding, walks and even cleaning up behind them. With cats I have played, fed, and cleaned out litter boxes. Although I have not done it officially besides friends and family, I want to help you take care of your animals just as if they were my own with love and happiness. I also have a family dog that I have taught to do tricks and helped potty train. I currently work part-time at a grocery store. Most times I work 8am to 2pm so I can take care of your animals before I go to work and after. Even if the there needs to be a drop in, I could take care during working hours as well. Every animal will be treated with love and care. I will stick to a routine that the owner may have and if crating is needed I could do so safely for both me and your pet.
About: As a CPDT-KA certified trainer, I offer dog walking services that go beyond basic exercise. Each walk incorporates training and enrichment tailored to your dog’s unique needs. My expertise is ideal for dogs who are fearful, nervous, hyper, or reactive—especially those other walkers may find challenging. A training walk is a perfect way to advance your dog’s progress when your schedule is too packed for regular training sessions. Please note: My walking services are not suitable for aggressive dogs. If you’re dealing with aggression, please contact me directly or explore my specialized training services. I offer training walk services Monday through Friday, with both daytime and evening availability. For the best results, I recommend scheduling two sessions per week, such as Monday/Tuesday or Wednesday/Thursday. I exclusively use positive reinforcement techniques to care for and train dogs, whether during training walks or in your home. My focus is on creating a safe, encouraging environment that builds trust and confidence in your dog. Each session is tailored to meet your dog’s unique needs while reinforcing good behaviors in a kind and effective way. With this approach, I ensure your dog feels supported and thrives in their routine.
About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my entire life and have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. Growing up, my mom had five dogs—some of which had puppies—and I helped raise and care for them. I’ve also cared for cats in multi-pet households, including feeding, litter box maintenance, and creating calm, safe environments for shy or senior cats. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I now have a black Yorkie of my own, and I treat every animal I care for like part of the family—whether they bark or purr! I currently work part time- and have lots of free time! I will send out a daily schedule of what I’ll be doing with the pets! I will take your dog out on walks on our neighborhood trail outside! I also have a few ring cameras, and will send a lot of pictures/videos throughout the day.
“Liliana was great! She was communicative and punctual and was awesome with my dog Ziti! Ziti is high-energy but Liliana did a great job of tiring her out with a nice long walk which was very much appreciated! Would recommend Liliana and would definitely book her again in the future!”
About: My experience is a unique blend of a long-time educational and research background and 47 years of dedicated canine care, providing a professional practice rooted in deep knowledge and a lifetime of devotion. I offer specialized expertise in the full spectrum of a dog’s life, from the joyful, structured development of raising my current puppy, Oliver Lane, from 10 weeks old, to the tender, complex management of my late two elderly 15-year-old babies. This dual experience means I am equally skilled at navigating puppy milestones and providing the specialized medical and palliative care required for seniors. I apply the same discipline from my 25-year career to maintain a structured 24/7 routine, ensuring that every pet—regardless of age—benefits from a calm, intuitive, and highly organized environment filled with family-level love. SPECIALIZED PET CAR: After a 25-year career as a doctoral-level educational professional, I have transitioned to a full-time schedule dedicated to dog care. Maintaining a 24/7 routine for my own 2-year-old fur child, Oliver Lane, affords me the unique flexibility to adapt to your dog's specific scheduling needs. I provide smoke-free, hypoallergenic, flea- and tick-conscious boarding in my pet-friendly home, designed with easy-clean flooring for comfort and hygiene. Dogs enjoy a full acre of play space in a welcoming neighborhood with secure neighboring fences for a safe, social environment. Crating is available only if requested, part of a routine, or needed for training/transitional support. Verifiable shot records are required for any service. Transportation is available in my Ford Explorer “Mini-Hotel,” featuring climate-controlled comfort, orthopedic blankets, toys, and premium treats. With 25 years of leadership experience and a lifetime of animal care, I provide 24/7 active supervision, ensuring every guest is safe, loved, and treated like family. For everyone’s safety, please let me know your dog’s current flea/tick prevention status. Your pet’s comfort and well-being are always my top priority.
“Beverly was awesome. We needed someone on short notice and she stepped right in for us. She met the dogs the night before and today she kept us updated on both the walks. Highly recommend her services.”
About: I have pet sit for dogs, cats, horses, donkeys and chickens. I care for animals as if they are my own. I have worked at pet stores and started learning about dog training. I am working full time remotely so I have lots of time to help your pets with their needs! I am available most every day with notice! I will give your pets as much attention as they want and need. I will take them on walks, play with them, and protect them as if they are my own.

“Jeren was absolutely incredible! I had to make several changes within a few days before our booking and she was so quick to respond and accommodate. Jeren constantly kept us updated with pictures and videos of our baby throughout his visit. We are so grateful and will definitely be booking again!”
“Lindsay provided great care for our dog Daisy while we were away on vacation. We enjoyed all the photos of Daisy with the family and Lindsay's dog Coco playing in the large fenced in back yard. I would definitely recommend and will be booking again in the future.”
“Jen’s the best! Highly recommended her services. It’s a great sign when Piper is super excited when we pull up and doesn’t wanna leave. I know she is in good hands and having a blast!”
“Kimberly and her family took great care of our dog Winnie while we were away over the holiday break! She sent pictures every day of her enjoying time inside and outside on her walks about the neighborhood. We are so grateful that we found them and will definitely use her in the future! Thank you, Kimberly!”
“Dana is the absolute best rover sitter! She loves and cares for your dogs as if they were her own. Always communicative and goes the extra mile to take care of your pets.”
“As a first time user of Rover and first time search for a cat sitter, Elena definitely set the standard. From the first contact, Elena was incredibly responsive, very kind, and extremely welcoming of my babies. Elena and her children took such good care of my babies, as they allowed them space to adjust while being open to their affection as they warmed up. I had peace of mind that my babies were in good hands as she invited them into her home with open arms. When I picked Pocket and Rocket up, they were so soft from freshly brushed hair and calmer to get back into the car. I would absolutely recommend Elena to take care of your cats, as they will get plenty of cuddles, play time, and freedom to explore their new space. Thank you, Elena and kids!!”
“This was a great experience. I think I got more excited driving up the driveway seeing the horses the mini horses the goats, the chickens, hearing the roosters. I know Teddy must've had a great time. Will definitely use again!”
“We highly recommend Candice! She will love your pup as her own! She took great care of our pup and sent lots of photos. She has a big yard and room for the pups as well! Our dog also has a bit of energy so it was perfect that he could play with her pup as well. He came home worn out and well loved!!”
“Jason and Tracy were wonderful. Our dog is a rescue and has some anxiety issues. They understood and were so patient with her. They also sent me pictures every day. I knew that she was completely safe and happy while we were away. Thanks to both of you!!”
“Jermaine took good care of my 7 year old pit bull for a week. He either updated me first or answered my questions in a timely manner when I asked for updates. I also received some pictures throughout the week of my boy. Overall I had a great experience and will be using Jermaine again!”
“Hester is great. Very good communication. Follows up quickly. Keeps me in the loop during my dogs stay. And I usually get a tired and happy dog after the stay. Very happy I found Hester!”
“Brooke was fantastic! She took both my dogs over the Christmas holiday. Super sweet and caring. Gave text updates with pictures and was flexible with pickup/dropoff. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Emily took great care of our pups while we were away! We appreciated her updates and had peace of mind knowing they were comfortable and having fun. Would recommend!”
“When I picked up my furkids, they went straight to sleep. I guess that is a good indication that they had way too much fun at Tarina’s doggie playhouse. Will definitely be coming back. Tarina agreed to have a meet and greet prior reservation. Thank you, Tarina and Tony.”
“Brigid took care of my senior girl, Chloe, for 4 nights. She was open to a last minute meet and greet. She accommodated Chloe’s senior needs, sent updates, and gave a nice verbal summary at how Chloe’s time went and included things she will miss about her. Chloe seemed content when I arrived, often going over to Brigid several times while we packed up all of her things into the car. Being a dog sitter myself, I found comfort in that, considering they were strangers just days before. I would recommend Brigid!”
“Deanna was very friendly and took very good care of our baby! She gave us updates and pictures of Bear regularly and let us know know his activities and what he was doing and how he was doing. I really appreciated how she kept us informed the whole time. I will definitely love to use her for all my traveling needs in the future.”
“Lena was WONDERFUL with a very last minute & difficult request. She was so responsive and communicative. We could not ask for a better or more professional / responsible & respectful Rover sitter. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!”
