“Tucker had a fantastic stay with Rebecca! We were extremely nervous because this was our first time away from our pup. Rebecca put us as ease with daily picture updates. Tucker was well loved and cared for while we were away for 10 days.”
“We had Corrine watch Ollie from Thursday through Monday, and Ollie had a great time! Corrine took great care of him and was very communicative throughout his stay. She sent us photos daily, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. It was also really nice that we were able to visit Corrine before our first drop-off to make sure Ollie would feel comfortable. Her place is perfect for dog sitting, especially with the backyard she has specifically for dogs to go out, play, and enjoy themselves. By the time we picked Ollie up, he was all tuckered out, which is always a great sign. We would definitely recommend Corrine!”
“Danielle is absolutely amazing! This was our second time using her services, and we feel truly blessed to have found such a gem. She communicates consistently and clearly, shows exceptional care and attention to detail with our dogs, and is incredibly flexible when we’re in a crunch. We truly appreciate her dedicated service and everything she does for us.”
“Alba and her husband are beautiful couple I leave for my first time with Alba and my two girls one shih tzu and shih poo are very happy with them the first day was like they know them for ever i we was very happy too.

“Jenn provided the best care for our recently adopted french bulldog, Dr. Pepper. She kept intouch with me all weekend and sent lots of pictures. He seemed to really enjoy his stay with Jenn and her family. I would highly recommend her and we will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“I was nervous to leave our puppy for the first time but Thomas made me feel comfortable after our meet and greet. My 6mo old is a little bit anxious around new people but I felt comfortable leaving him. Thomas sent updates and even let my puppy sleep in bed with him. He was also super accommodating when I mixed up days in my booking. Would 100% recommend Thomas”
“Nicole took such amazing care of our dog Dakota while we were away! We’ve used her twice now, and both times Dakota came home sooo happy. You can really tell Nicole genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. She even recommended a great groomer for Dakota, which we really appreciated. She has a nice backyard, and her kids and dogs are super friendly, so Dakota had plenty of fun and social time while staying there. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Dakota was in such good hands. We highly recommend Nicole — definitely a 5-star experience!”
“Christine was so great with our puppy, Callie. Callie was there for a full day / night. Christine made sure to keep Callie entertained the entire time. She brought her out with her and kept up with her energy! She provided lots of exercise including walks and a large fenced in backyard. Callie is a puppy and still is not used to sleeping alone, but Christine made sure to stay with Callie until she was calm and comfortable enough for bed time. We will definitely be reaching out to her again to sit!”
“Judy was fantastic with our Zoey girl! My kids loved getting regular pictures to see what their pup was up to. It was clear that Zoey was in the best hands and given lots of love, attention and cuddles. We would definitely book with Judy again and highly recommend her for anyone in need of care for their pet. Thanks so much Judy!! You and your family are awesome!!”
About: I have cared for puppies, as well as adult dogs and aging dogs. I love them all and they all sense it when I meet them. I am retired, so I have a lot of time and a very flexible schedule. Also, I am up very early in the morning, and like getting an early start. I have a partially fenced yard, so would be more comfortable with your dog n a leash or inside the house if at my home.
“We were hesitant about leaving Max with anyone while we took a vacation. After meeting Carol we we were reassured. She really put us at ease by sending pictures and a video of Max out for a walk. He was well taken care of and we could relax and enjoy ourselves. We will definitely book with Carol again when we need a sitter for Max. Thank you!!”
“Great experience! Clear communication and frequent updates/ pictures. Ashley and her family were a home away from home for our dog. Will definitely be using her again!”

About: Cats have always held a special place in my heart. I have three cats of my own, and everyone who knows me would describe me as "cat crazy." I genuinely love getting to know each cat's unique personality! I volunteered with ACCT Philly Animal Shelter, where I cared for cats with a variety of personalities and needs. Outside of volunteering, I've also rescued multiple stray cats on my own and helped find them safe, loving homes. I also have firsthand experience caring for cats with medical needs. My oldest cat has chronic upper respiratory infections, so I'm very familiar with administering daily medications, monitoring symptoms, and making frequent veterinary visits. This experience has taught me the importance of patience, gentle handling, and paying close attention to changes in behavior or health. Whether your cat is outgoing and playful or shy and prefers their space, I'll respect their boundaries while making sure they receive the care, attention, and affection they're comfortable with. I'll care for your cat as if they were one of my own.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years and truly treat every pet like my own. My experience includes daily care, feeding routines, walks, and lots of love and attention.

I’ve had 3 dogs and 2 cats in total (including one blind + deaf senior dog). With one indoor cat currently, I really miss having dogs around!

I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, so I am available and ready to care for your beloved pet, whether it’s a cat or dog! For pet sitting, I will ensure your pets belly is full, is given a walk and plenty of water, will be let out to go potty, and will get plenty of attention while you’re away!

About: Hello, my name is Judy and I'm a dog lover! I have been taking care of dogs for 10 plus years. I'm a very patient and caring person. My husband and I live in a 2 bedroom house in Ocean Gate NJ. We both love taking the dogs out for long walks and to the beach. We love taking the dogs to the park too. We can go on as many walks as need be. We will treat your dogs as if they were our own. We can also administer medications if need be. If there are special requests for anything, we will accommodate. Let us watch your pups and you will be happy you chose us! PS- belly rubs and kisses are free of charge!
About: I’ve grown up with my own dogs to take care of as well as helping friends with their pets. If someone was to take care of my dog, I’d want them to be loving, responsible, and friendly and that’s exactly how I’d be with your pup! I’m here to help you out, so you just have to let me know when :) I work full time 8-4, Monday to Friday. Any time after my work hours I can help. And I can do any day or time on the weekends if I’m available. If you have a fence, I’m triple checking that it’s locked before we play outside. And making sure their bed is as comfy as mine is only fair!
About: I've always loved cats and understand how unique each one can be. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or a little sassy, I adjust my care to match their personality. I'm patient, gentle, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own home. From feeding and litter care to playtime and cuddles (if they want them!), I treat every cat like my own and make sure they're happy while you're away. I'm comfortable administering medications, including oral medications and injections, and always do so with care to keep pets calm and stress-free.
About: Hii!! I love all dogs big and small! I currently have a goofy little chihuahua beagle mix and happy golden retriever. I love to take the pups on walks and hikes!! I am comfortable with giving your pet medications, as my pup needs his doggie inhaler daily. My dogs are my best friends and I will treat your pup like he/she is my own:)
About: I’ve had animals all my life! I don’t mind big dogs or cats and I will make sure they are taken very good care of! I am trustworthy and hard working. I’ve served in the military for 8 years as well. Weekday/weekend Early mornings, early evenings, and late nights are best for my schedule. I will make sure to accommodate any special requests or extra time too. I have a cat who is 11 years old and she is afraid of her own shadow. We thought by getting a kitten it would help bring her out of her shell, but it made her very stressed. We had to give the kitten to our best friends to ensure our cat lives a happy stress free life.
“Patty was an excellent drop-in sitter. She was punctual with feedings and put me as ease with the details messages and multiple pictures taken. I will use her again and recommend her to anyone.”
About: I have 11 years of animal experience. I use to be a manager at a dog boarding facility before I got into vet med. I have no been in veterinary medicine for 10 years. I am currently a veterinary technician at an emergency animal hospital. I do cats and dogs with the occasional pocket pet. CPR and first aid trained. Trained in oral, subcutaneous, and intravenous medications. Great with serious pets and experienced with special needs animals. Can also provide nail trims, anal glands, ear cleanings, and fluid therapy (that’s rx’d by your vet). I have plenty of skills and experience, don’t be afraid to ask if your pet needs something special!

About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for pets at every stage of life. I’ve taken care of puppies who need patience, structure, and reinforcement of basic training, energetic adult dogs who thrive on activity and routine, and senior dogs who require a gentler pace, medication awareness, and extra attentiveness. I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s specific needs, whether that means reinforcing potty training, maintaining feeding schedules, administering basic medications, or simply providing calm companionship. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I work fully remote from home and have flexibility in setting my schedule. This allows me to plan my day around walks, feedings, playtime, and any specific care needs your pet may have. I’m home throughout the day, so your pup won’t be left alone for long stretches and can receive consistent attention, bathroom breaks, and companionship. Because I structure my work independently, I can easily adjust my schedule to maintain your pet’s normal routine, whether that means early morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening wind-down time. It’s important to me that pets feel comfortable, engaged, and cared for, not just supervised.
“Christine is a blessing! I booked her last minute and she was super happy to take my Lilly girl. Lilly had so much fun and is going back for more fun tomorrow. Thank you so much, will recommend you a million times to anyone and everyone who asks”
“My doodle Mildred spent a great day at Nic's place today. It was nice to receive photos and texts as to how she was settling in while we were out of town. We will be booking again in the future for sure!”
“Pinot had an amazing time at Rebecca’s!! Rebecca gave great feedback after the day was over on how she did and sent pictures along the way. Definitely would recommend!”
“Louie had a great time on his first visit to Danielle's! Danielle was responsive, accommodating, super friendly and very kind. Would and will use Danielle's services again!”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. As a stay-at-home mom with a dog of my own, your pup will be treated like a member of my family and receive plenty of attention, companionship, and love throughout the day. I provide a safe, comfortable home environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel at ease while you're away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're gone. Because I only accept a limited number of dogs at a time, each guest receives personalized care and attention. I work from home, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, and your dog will never be left alone. I enjoy spending time outdoors, going for walks, and making sure every pup feels comfortable and cared for while they're with me. I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of space for dogs to safely run, play, and explore. Your dog will be treated like a member of my family and will receive lots of attention, affection, and supervised outdoor time. My friendly family dog, Ollie, loves making new canine friends and helps visiting pups feel right at home. To ensure a calm and safe environment, I only accept a limited number of dogs at a time and encourage meet-and-greets before boarding. You'll also receive regular photo updates so you can feel confident your pup is happy, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and the experience I've gained caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I volunteered with ACCT Philly Animal Shelter, where I helped care for both dogs and cats with a wide range of temperaments and needs. That experience taught me how to be patient, attentive, and adaptable, whether working with energetic puppies, shy rescue dogs, or senior pets that need a little extra care and compassion. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, my family always had multiple pets, and I was known as the one who spent the most time caring for them. Whether it was feeding, walking, playing, or simply making sure they felt safe and loved, I naturally took on that role because I truly enjoy being around animals. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable while you're away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or extra patience because they're a puppy or senior, I'll treat them like they're part of my own family. Pet care isn't something I fit into my routine—it's a part of my everyday life. I truly believe that when you choose to have pets, you make the time for them. The people closest to me joke that I'm a bit of a "helicopter mom" with my animals, but I think that's exactly why we have such a strong bond. I love going above and beyond to make sure my pets are happy, healthy, and enriched. On nice days, I bring my cats out onto our secure porch so they can safely enjoy fresh air and sunshine. I hide treats around the house to create little "brain games" that keep them mentally stimulated, stay on top of their grooming and hygiene, and make sure each of my pets gets one-on-one attention every day. I think it's important that every animal feels loved as an individual, not just as part of the group. That same level of care is what I bring to every pet I look after. Whether it's sticking to their normal routine, making time for extra play, or simply giving them companionship while you're away, I'll care for them with the same dedication I give my own. I believe the best pet care starts with understanding both the pet's needs and the owner's expectations. I'm also a strong advocate for respecting boundaries—both yours and your pet's. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your furry family member can feel nerve-racking. My goal is to make that experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Whether you prefer frequent updates, lots of photos, detailed visit summaries, or specific instructions on how you'd like your pet cared for, I'm happy to accommodate your preferences.
“I had a wonderful experience with Nicole and her family caring for my grandpup, Tyson. From the moment I met them, I felt comfortable knowing our pet was in great hands. Nicole kept me updated throughout the stay and sent pictures throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. We will definitely be using her services again! Lola”
“Rose did such a great job with caring for my dog! It was nice that she could play with other dogs while she was there. Perfect match for the doggie day care needed while we attended a wedding. Appreciated the fenced in yard as well! My dog played a lot and is now ready to bed. Thank you!”

“Seriously could not thank Lauren and her family enough! They saved me last minute when I became sick and needed Salem to burn off energy and even helped me when I locked my keys in the car ? She kept me updated and was super understanding the entire day. Will absolutely be sending Salem to hang out with Lauren and her boys again! He came home happy and tired!”
About: I've had my own dog for the past 9 years, and caring for them has taught me how important consistency, patience, and love are. Although I'm new to Rover, I'm excited to provide a safe, comfortable home for dogs during the workweek. I work from home Monday through Friday, which allows me to give plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles while following each owner's routine to help their dog feel happy and relaxed. I work from home Monday through Friday, so your dog will have plenty of supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day. I provide regular potty breaks, playtime, and exercise in my fenced yard while following your dog's normal routine as closely as possible. Whether your pup enjoys relaxing, playing, or just being near someone during the day, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a securely fenced yard and one friendly, fully vaccinated resident dog. I will introduce dogs slowly and always prioritize a calm, low-stress environment. If separation of the two dogs is important to you, I can also accommodate that request. I also have three children (ages 16, 10, and 4), who are in school for most of the day. While I'm working from home, visiting dogs stay with me in my home office so they're never without supervision. When my children return home, visiting dogs have the option of remaining with me in my office in a separate area from the rest of the household if they need a quieter space or if separation is the safest choice. I can provide either a crate-free stay or crate your dog if that's part of their normal routine. I'll always follow your care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special needs, so your dog feels safe, comfortable, and at home.
About: I have always been a lover of animals. I grew up with cats, dogs, rabbits, guniea pigs, and hamsters. Every single animal I’ve had has been given the love they deserve. Giving them all their play time, I have a huge fenced in yard for dogs to run around in and play fetch. If pets need their own space, I can accommodate that. If you need me to take extra time out for them I can offer that as well! I’m here to help! I am a hairstylist by trade for 27 years and love what I do, I work part time to be home more with my children. Being a hairstylist, I love helping my clients look and feel good. That being said, I figured I can help people in other ways as well and being that I love animals, why not help people with their pets by taking care of them! I take my dog on daily walks, except for Tuesdays and Saturdays but those are the days I work in the salon, but my husband takes our dog out. She also will go to my mother's house in the summer to swim with us as she absolutely loves the pool! Being that I am home most of the week, watching dogs fits well into my schedule. I will treat other people's pets as if they were my own. As long as they are potty trained, I will allow them to walk freely in my home, I have a huge fenced in yard for them to run and play. As long as the weather is beautiful out, I will take them on walks as well with my family! Myself and my family will treat your pets as if they were ours! We will show them love the entire time they are with us!

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly can't imagine life without them. I've owned both large and medium-sized dogs over the years, so I'm very comfortable handling and walking big pups with confidence. Whether your dog loves a long adventure, a leisurely sniff-filled stroll, or just wants some extra love and attention, I'm happy to meet them where they are. I recently worked as an adoption and foster counselor at an animal shelter in St. Louis, where I had the opportunity to work with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I'm comfortable handling dogs who are dog-reactive, dog-aggressive, leash biters, or shy and fearful, and I know that every dog deserves patience, kindness, and understanding. My own two dogs are my whole world, and I know how much trust it takes to leave your best friend in someone else's care. I'll treat your pup like one of my own—with plenty of love, attention, and lots of tail wags along the way! 🏆 Certified in Fear Free Training 🏆 I currently work from home with a very flexible schedule, which means your pup will get plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. Whether they love extra walks, playtime, cuddle breaks, or simply having someone nearby, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away!

“Elena was a hero today. She ran over to our house after Sammy destroyed a throw pillow. She was able to get it away from him before he could eat it. Elena is so good to Sammy and to us.”
About: Hi! My name is Chelsea and im 30 years old. I have been fostering animals (with my family) since I was 8 years old and on my own since I was 22. I love all animals and long walks. I’m currently working part time and remote so I’ll have plenty of time for your pets! I make my own schedule so I am flexible and reliable. Use code CHELSP42284 for $40 off your first service with Rover. I am patient and calm and understand there may be an adjusting period before your pet feels safe with a new handler. With many years of foster experience of both cats and dogs, I know how to familiarize myself with a pet and make them feel the most comfortable. I will always be respectful of your home (if a drop in or house sit) and clean up after any messes. I will be respectful of your time and wishes for walks.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them truly comes naturally to me. I've worked with dogs of all personalities - from high energy pups that love long walks to more laid-back or senior dogs who need patience and extra love. I'm comfortable administering medications, including oral medications and injections, and always do so with care to keep pets calm and stress-free. I pay close attention to each pet's routine, behavior, and comfort so they feel safe and happy while you're away. My goal is always to make your pet feel like they're with family, not just a sitter. Caring for pets is part of my everyday life, not just something I do on the side. I build my daily routine around the pets I'm caring for, making sure they get the attention, walks, and care they need throughout the day. I'm consistent, dependable, and always make time to stick to each pet's normal routine so they feel comfortable and happy. I care for pets in their home just like you would - keeping their routine consistent, giving them lots of attention, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I take the time to understand each pet's needs and personality so they feel at ease while you're away. I'm respectful of your home, keep things clean, and always send updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

“Nicole looked after my pup a few days this week and I could not have been happier! She was very accommodating with specific requests I had and she did not mind staying over a few min to make sure my pup finished her meals. She sent plenty of pics of their walks and updated me frequently. She was a pleasure to hire and I will definitely be booking her again for future walks.”

“We had Corrine watch Ollie from Thursday through Monday, and Ollie had a great time! Corrine took great care of him and was very communicative throughout his stay. She sent us photos daily, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. It was also really nice that we were able to visit Corrine before our first drop-off to make sure Ollie would feel comfortable. Her place is perfect for dog sitting, especially with the backyard she has specifically for dogs to go out, play, and enjoy themselves. By the time we picked Ollie up, he was all tuckered out, which is always a great sign. We would definitely recommend Corrine!”
“Danielle is absolutely amazing! This was our second time using her services, and we feel truly blessed to have found such a gem. She communicates consistently and clearly, shows exceptional care and attention to detail with our dogs, and is incredibly flexible when we’re in a crunch. We truly appreciate her dedicated service and everything she does for us.”
“We cannot thank Kristin enough for taking care of our Lola girl while we were away. She was responsive, sent us updates, and we felt secure leaving Lola in her care. We will use Kristin from now on! 🐶”
“Ashley just watched my 17 year old dog for 3 days. So grateful She was able to take a last minute booking. Ashley is amazing with great communication! Jack was well loved and while staying with her. Our pouch didn’t even want to come home he had such a great time. I will definitely be using Ashley again!”
“Nicolena was great! I highly recommend here! My dog has bad separation anxiety and she was amazing with Blaze! Kept me updated throughout his stay! She is very good with dogs and would recommend her and would absolutely leave Blaze with her again!”
“Jenn provided the best care for our recently adopted french bulldog, Dr. Pepper. She kept intouch with me all weekend and sent lots of pictures. He seemed to really enjoy his stay with Jenn and her family. I would highly recommend her and we will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“I was nervous to leave our puppy for the first time but Thomas made me feel comfortable after our meet and greet. My 6mo old is a little bit anxious around new people but I felt comfortable leaving him. Thomas sent updates and even let my puppy sleep in bed with him. He was also super accommodating when I mixed up days in my booking. Would 100% recommend Thomas”
“Nicole took such amazing care of our dog Dakota while we were away! We’ve used her twice now, and both times Dakota came home sooo happy. You can really tell Nicole genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. She even recommended a great groomer for Dakota, which we really appreciated. She has a nice backyard, and her kids and dogs are super friendly, so Dakota had plenty of fun and social time while staying there. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Dakota was in such good hands. We highly recommend Nicole — definitely a 5-star experience!”
“Christine was so great with our puppy, Callie. Callie was there for a full day / night. Christine made sure to keep Callie entertained the entire time. She brought her out with her and kept up with her energy! She provided lots of exercise including walks and a large fenced in backyard. Callie is a puppy and still is not used to sleeping alone, but Christine made sure to stay with Callie until she was calm and comfortable enough for bed time. We will definitely be reaching out to her again to sit!”
About: I have cared for puppies, as well as adult dogs and aging dogs. I love them all and they all sense it when I meet them. I am retired, so I have a lot of time and a very flexible schedule. Also, I am up very early in the morning, and like getting an early start. I have a partially fenced yard, so would be more comfortable with your dog n a leash or inside the house if at my home.
“Great experience! Clear communication and frequent updates/ pictures. Ashley and her family were a home away from home for our dog. Will definitely be using her again!”
