“Melanie has watched our Bella twice, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provided! She is incredibly kind, caring, reliable, and attentive. Bella was comfortable and happy in her care. We felt completely at ease knowing Bella was in such loving and capable hands. It means so much to have someone we can truly trust with our furry family member. We would absolutely recommend M to anyone looking for a wonderful and dependable dog sitter!”
“Becky and family were such great pet sitters! They sent so many photos of my dog and I can tell from the photos that Juniper was in good hands. Excellent communicators. I would recommend them to anyone that wants their dog to feel comfortable while you are away.”
“Jen was super flexible on drop-off & pick up times & extended schedule. She was proactive in sending photos of my dog from walks & generous in using extra dog booties on my dogs paws to keep him cleaner. Last minute I had some probiotics & med to give my dog & she was ok with that too! I would definitely be confortable leaving my fur baby with Jen & highly recommend her.”
“Seureon & Dongkwan took such great care of Bruno! We reached out to them super last minute and they were kind enough to accept our same day boarding booking. We got frequent updates and they followed all of our instructions. We highly recommend them and will definitely be using them again in the future! ❤️”
“Jordy took excellent care of my boy, Ty. He kept me updated and sent pics and even provided some great tips on some things he noticed throughout his stay. I can feel at ease knowing that when I need to utilize his services in the future my fur child will be well taken care of.”
“Bonnie watched our dog on our wedding day, and she was amazing! She gave us updates throughout the day and made the whole experience completely stress free so we could fully enjoy our big day. She was also incredibly flexible with our unpredictable drop off times and even let us come early for pickup. Thank you so much, Bonnie!”
“This was the first time we have used Rover for overnight boarding our 5 year old rescue (puppy mill momma) - Lina. Lisa and Albert and their family were so wonderful with her. Sending pictures and updating us on her eating and sleeping. Lisa even made special meal to entice Lina to eat. Our little pupper can be anxious, and Lisa was very supportive. We have a much longer family vacation upcoming, and know that our Lina will be in the best hands. Thank you Lisa and family!!!!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. As a lifelong dog lover and a proud dog mom myself, I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. What sets me apart is the personal attention and genuine care I provide. I want every dog staying with me to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and truly at home. I’m patient with puppies and energetic dogs who need extra playtime and attention, and I’m equally happy caring for older or more relaxed dogs who prefer a quieter environment and a slower pace. I take the time to learn your dog’s normal routine, feeding schedule, walking habits, favorite activities, and any special instructions you provide. My goal is to care for your fur baby the same way I would want someone to care for my own, like part of the family. I’m a real estate agent with a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my day around the pets in my care. I’m able to provide plenty of attention throughout the day, including regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of love and companionship. Since I have dogs of my own, pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. Your pup will be treated like part of the family while staying with me! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I provide a clean, loving, and supervised home environment where dogs are treated like part of the family. I have a spacious, fully fenced backyard where they can safely enjoy fresh air, potty breaks, and playtime, as well as a quiet neighborhood that is perfect for walks. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, routines, and any special needs. I understand that every dog has a different personality, so I take the time to help each pet feel comfortable and adjust at their own pace. I have two friendly dogs of my own who are used to sharing their home, but I also have the ability to keep them separate from guest dogs if needed. This allows me to accommodate dogs who may prefer their own space or need a calmer environment. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your fur baby is safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while staying in my home.
“We have now used Shiina as our dog's babysitter twice and she has, without a doubt, FAR EXCEEDED our expectations. Sometimes with Rover sitters you can tell the sitters are just in it for the paycheck, but this is CLEARLY NOT the case with Shiina. We got hourly pictures and videos of our dog, homecooked meals, and our dog was clearly showered with attention and love. Shiina is our #1 dogsitter and unless she is unavailable, we will always prefer to use her services. She is unlike any other and I am so grateful to have found her for our dog!”
“Margarita was the first time i used Rover. This was also the first time i left my pup with someone besides a close friend or family member. Margarita was very friendly and did not have any problem with me having questions or asking a few times during the 6 night stay how she was doing. Took her for nice long walks, even though from what i saw, it rained quite a bit. She sent a few videos of the walks and i know she was well taken care of. I will def be a return customer of hers for as long as she is available to watch my pup”
“Anna was absolutely wonderful watching our dog Bailey. We couldn’t recommend her enough. She was so warm and loving toward Bailey right away, sent lots of updates throughout Baileys stay (w/ pictures). With definitely be seeing Anna again soon!”
“Nathalie is a gem. We trust & cherish her. Our Brandy is safe & loved with her. She is friendly, flexible & a lifesaver. We are lucky to have her take care of our baby.”
“Amanda sent us lots of photos and had everything packed up and ready when we arrived to pick her up. Our girl seemed happy as can be in the photos and when we picked her up. Thanks Amanda!”
“I had an amazing experience with Akshay. He took excellent care of my dog, Bagheera, and treated him like family from day one. Akshay made sure Bagheera got his daily walks, meals right on time, and plenty of playtime. I really appreciated how he asked questions in the beginning whenever needed—showing how responsible and attentive he is. He also sent daily updates, photos, and little notes about Bagheera’s mood and activities, which kept me completely relaxed while I was away. Another lovely part was Akshay’s dog, Sirius. Bagheera and Sirius became instant buddies! They played, relaxed, explored together, and honestly, it feels like Bagheera came back home with a new brother. Overall, Akshay is reliable, caring, and genuinely passionate about animals. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful and trustworthy Person. Your pet will be in wonderful hands!”
“I cannot recommend Rosario highly enough! She took care of my Jack Russell for two full weeks, and I was beyond impressed with her dedication, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals. From the start, she was warm, professional, and very communicative sending me regular updates, photos, and little notes that gave me total peace of mind while I was away. My dog absolutely adored her, and it was clear he was in loving, capable hands the entire time. When I returned, he was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. If you're looking for someone reliable, responsible, and truly wonderful with dogs, Rosario is the one!”

It was clear that she genuinely enjoyed spending time with my kitten and took great care of her. Cristina followed all of my instructions and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. Before we returned, she took out the kitty litter garbage and left the bathroom clean and tidy. I would highly recommend Cristina to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and responsible pet sitter!”

It was so relaxing to go on vacation knowing our cats were in great hands.”

As a professional pet groomer with 6 years of experience, I’ve worked with both dogs and cats and understand how to handle pets safely and calmly.

“Connor was amazing with my newly adopted dog, Wendy! I was very nervous leaving her as Wendy is still learning to trust new humans so she is a little anxious in new environments. But Connor understood, gave her space and kept her comfortable during her first doggy day care experience. She had fun socializing with his dog Kygo along with some other dog friends outside in his fully fenced backyard. Connor put me at ease with updates and pictures as well. I will be using Connor again in the future and definitely recommend his services to others!”
“Champ had the greatest day with Eunice and her family! He ran around the yard, played with her dog and got so many cuddles! I can always tell what kind of day he’s had when I pick him up and he was happy as can be! Plus lots of amazing pics throughout the day. Highly recommend Eunice!”
“We have now left our pup with Kevin three times in two weeks for both daycare and overnight and each time our dog was excited to be there and very well taken care of. She was actually at the door barking to get in when we arrived to drop her off! Thanks so much for the care and love Kevin!!!! ?♥️”
“Loved getting updates on Mochi! I often worry/think about him when I'm out so it was really nice to see that he was enjoying himself. Very happy with the booking, thank you SO much for taking care of him!!”
“Five Stars! They watched our new rescue puppy during his first few work days with us and were a pleasure to deal with in all respects. They also have a lovely dog, Walnut—we're hoping our new pup picked up some good manners from him! Thank you.”
“Sulay was a pleasure to deal with, and Shadow came home happy and relaxed. He was comfortable with her immediately - and got along great with her sweet dog. We appreciate her caring attentiveness. I would definitely recommend her highly, and will be sure to be a repeat customer!”
“First time with Rover. I was quite nervous. Then we had a greet and meet. She is very nice. The dog seems fine after daycare time, didn't eat too much probably because of being nervous. Good reporting card. May rebook with Vafa again. Thanks”
“Bianca brought my dog to our wedding and made our day so special - we knew he was in great hands with Bianca and she did a fantastic job picking him up from my apartment, bringing him to the wedding and back home safely. She's so lovely and I'll be using her again!!”
“Just lost our dog a couple weeks ago, so it's my first time to look for daycare for Milan. I contacted Jessica and was able to schedule a meet and greet that same day. Milan stayed with them today for the first time, and she seems to have enjoyed herself. She was very quiet in the car and asleep now. Those, to me, are signs of a tired dog! Jessica has been very responsive, accommodating, and flexible. Milan is booked again for next week. Looking forward to it!”
About: I’ve cared for many family pets in the past, mostly smaller dogs. Because of my love for dogs, I enjoy doing research about different or watching videos, so I have a deep understanding of dog behavior, body language, and care. I’m also very active and would love another reason to get out and run! Hello, my name is Taylor and I’m currently a college student! I’m available pretty much any time of any day, especially in the early afternoon. First, I respect the routine the pet already has and would like to know all details about their current routine. I also find it important to know any injuries, medications, allergies, etc. to make sure they stay as comfortable as possible.
“Megan & Nick were absolutely stellar dog sitters. They answered all my questions and accommodated a rushed request for both the booking and a meet and greet. They were extremely communicative throughout the whole process and put a new dog dad at ease. I would remiss to leave out the lovable Bubba, who was a most gracious host, sharing his toys and his space. He and Rigby were fast friends. The whole family was lovely, clearly dog lovers. Looking forward to booking with them again soon!”
“I am very happy I found Jose. He took my babies in at the last minute and was great at keeping in contact with me and sending pics and videos. If I ever travel back here with my pups again he will be my go to.”
About: We lost our 13 yr old american bulldog / hound mix and while mom (Lisa) isn't ready to have a new FT family member just yet, my son and I would be so excited to have fun with and love your pet as our own while you are away. We have a fenced-in back yard, lots of toys and a comfy dog bed - though of course you are welcome to bring your own gear, if it makes your pet feel more comfortable and at home. Typically only board 1 family at a time. Because our schedules can vary, we’re only able to accept boarding requests 2-3 months in advance. We appreciate your understanding! I am self-employed and work from home so am available to give your pet all the attention it deserves, take for walks and potty breaks as needed. We have a fenced yard and I have experience with senior dogs where extra care, love and medication may be needed, and am totally fine with larger dogs as well.
“Aishan & Bhumi accomodated my same day request to watch my dog while I had to run a few errands. I really appreciate their timely communication and taking such good care of Fidel. I would trust them to watch him again.”
“Vanessa is absolutely wonderful! And her family and pup also! I have a very anxious pup, and she was so great with him! She is very caring and attentive, and treated my dog as if he were her own. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely be rebooking her! I highly recommend her services!”

“If I could give 100 stars, I would! Anthony is highly knowledgeable, kind, calm, professional, punctual, and friendly. He has a perfect energy that puts dogs at ease. Our two pups have some behavioral issues that Anthony was actually able to shine light on and finally get myself and my fiancé on the same page. His professionalism shown through as well, and he made sure that the meeting was the best possible for our dogs. I can truly say that it was the most productive and positive experience I have had using Rover. I have had strong breeds my whole life and Anthony made an excellent impression on my German shepherd as well as my smaller dog, who is very picky about people. He helped us come up with next steps and made us feel at ease. We will definitely be using his services during our wedding weekend, and I know my dogs will be in excellent hands!”
“I can’t say enough good things! I reached out last minute—literally the night before—after my original dog walker had to cancel due to a family emergency. Travian came through bright and early at 6:30 AM with zero hesitation. Total lifesaver.”
About: I've grown with both cats and dogs majority of my life. I am patient and love all animals. Give me instructions on how to take care of your pet and I'll do that and so much more. I am currently working at a part-time job and will have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I can do drop-ins through-out the weekend as I am almost a full-time student during weekdays. I will be sure to check with owner of where pet is allowed to go in their home and if there are any issues with fences.
“I have a 3 year old golden retriever, and I am so grateful that I found George to walk her. I can tell he cares a lot about animals. George is knowledgeable about animal care as well. I know my dog is under best care when I am at work. I highly recommend George.”
About: I've got a soft spot for senior dogs and tons of experience training puppies! I have learned how to gentle take care of senior dogs and how to be patient. Also patience is key with training puppies, I was home during Covid and my family had work so I would be the one taking care of my puppy. What really sets me apart is the personalized care I provide. I take the time to understand each pet's unique personality and needs, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy while their owners are away. I always make sure to follow specific instructions closely, whether it's administering medication, sticking to a particular diet, or maintaining a certain exercise routine. I'm also super attentive and quick to notice any signs of discomfort or distress. Plus, I can send regular updates with photos and videos, so pet parents can see how much fun their furry friends are having! I believe clear communication and genuine care are key to building trust and providing the best possible service. I am currently babysitting 2 family’s, Monday - Thursday. I am also a student but do online school. I do have the weekends completely available. (I also want to point out I have 16 years on pet care experience because I have had dogs throughout my whole life.) When caring for pets in a client's home, my top priorities are safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment. I start by doing a thorough walk-through of the home with the client to understand their pet's routines, any specific needs, and house rules. This helps me maintain consistency and minimize stress for the pet. I follow the client's instructions meticulously, whether it's regarding feeding schedules, medication administration, or exercise routines. I also pay close attention to the pet's body language and behavior, to ensure they are comfortable and content. To build trust, I interact with the pet in a gentle and patient manner, offering plenty of positive reinforcement and affection. I also respect their boundaries and never force interactions. By prioritizing safety, trust, and a comfortable environment, I strive to provide the best possible care for pets in their own homes.
“Thanks Catherine, both dogs took to you immediately and we felt very comfortable with you managing them. Appreciate the quick and robust communication as well! Hope you can help us out again in the future.”
About: I've been the go-to catsitter among my family and friends since elementary school ! I've worked with indoor cats, outdoor cats, spicy cats, and kittens. I can adjust to your cat's every need !

I don't have another job at the moment, so I am available at any time. I will update days of unavailability as soon as possible. I'm very patient so if your pet isn't very trusting of new people, that's okay ! On the flipside, if your pet wants a friend then I can stick around !

About: I love spending time and bonding with all pets. I have a Doberman Pinscher who I raised from 10 weeks to her current 8 years. I am comfortable with all dog breeds. I am used to walking dogs that other dogs and people are afraid of. Having a high-energy breed of dog, I am also familiar with the most effective ways exercise them. My own dog prefers biking with me and also playing catch in tennis courts. Each dog is different and I’m positive I could make your dog as happy (and tired) as mine is. I have basic training experience and experience with all types of leashes, leads, collars, and harnesses. Most of all, I am familiar with the love we have for our pets and want to share that with my clients. I am active in the pet community in Union county, if there is something that I cannot handle, I can certainly provide recommendations. Walking my dog and clients dogs is an essential part of my day and I enjoy getting to share the peace with them. This care is essential and a priority for me and pets. My dog has been taught boundaries since she was a puppy and I practice the same with other pets. She has a dedicated place to eat, sleep, she does not have access to bedrooms for sanitary purposes as well as furniture. Of course it is necessary to mirror the pet parent’s boundaries which is what will be practiced in their home.
About: I have hands‑on experience caring for dogs both as an owner and through my work at a pet daycare. I’m skilled in providing daily essentials such as feeding, fresh water, medication administration, and structured walks. I also support general training by reinforcing good habits, maintaining routines, and creating a positive, engaging environment. My calm, reliable approach helps dogs feel secure, stimulated, and well‑cared‑for in any setting. I build their care into the natural rhythm of my day. Before school, I handle feeding, fresh water, and a quick walk or check‑in, and after work I have plenty of time for exercise, training, and attention. Weekends give me longer stretches for enrichment and bonding, so they get steady care throughout the week. I keep pets safe by maintaining a clean, secure environment and following their specific routines and care instructions. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep pets comfortable by sticking to familiar rules and daily habits. In my own home, I provide supervised play, proper enrichment, and a calm atmosphere so pets feel relaxed and well‑cared‑for.

“Hi! I just want to give a huge thank you to Tiara for being absolutely amazing and going above and beyond for my two kittens. Knowing they were under her care brought me so much peace and happiness. She even took personal responsibility to take one of my sick cats to the vet without hesitation. Her dedication, care, and knowledge are truly exceptional—she's perfect! I can’t imagine any better pet sitter and will definitely be calling her again.”
“We had the absolute best experience boarding Buddy with Natasha! From the moment we dropped him off, Natasha made us feel completely comfortable and reassured us that Buddy was going to be well taken care of. It’s not always easy leaving your dog somewhere, but Natasha was so kind, caring, and attentive, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Buddy had such a great time and was treated like part of the family! We could tell he was happy, comfortable, and getting lots of love and attention. Natasha was also great with communication, and knowing that Buddy was in such good hands made our trip so much more enjoyable. We are so grateful for the wonderful care she gave Buddy and for treating him with so much love. He was clearly very happy during his stay! We will absolutely be booking with Natasha again in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and responsible to care for their fur baby. Thank you so much, Natasha, for taking such great care of our Buddy! We truly appreciate you!”
“We were so happy to find a dog sitter who clearly loves dogs as much as we do. Kevin was very communicative and even sent us photos of Ruby during her stay - which we loved to see! He made us feel comfortable right away that Ruby was in great care. We would absolutely book again. Thanks, Kevin!”
“This was our first experience leaving Benny with a pet sitter and leaving him with someone new was not easy for me but Bhawani made it easier. The whole process from meet and greet to boarding was seamless. She did a thorough job vetting him to make sure he’d be a good fit and made sure she has all the details about our dog. The best part was getting updates with pictures and videos of his daily activities and responding to all our messages. She’s also been helping him in socialising with other dogs. Highly recommended Bhawani for anyone looking for a great home away from home for their fur baby!!”
“Amanda was very communicative and took great care of my dog for a long weekend! I got regular updates, and he seemed to get along well with Amanda’s dog too. I would happily leave my dog with her again.”
“Jacquelyn was the best! Amazing yard and location, and she went above and beyond to make our pup feel comfortable. She also sent lots of picture updates which we really appreciated. Highly recommend!!”
“Megan and Nick were phenomenal! Lola felt right at home with their family and Bubba, their dog. They were responsive and sent my partner and I daily photo updates of our girl. I was afraid Lola wouldn’t want to leave come pick up because she was oh so loved and entertained during her stay with them. We found our trusted sitter family!”
“I had a great experience with John. I booked on short notice and he was very flexible with scheduling, which I really appreciated. He took excellent care of Carl while I was away and gave me real peace of mind the entire time. Communication was solid, and I received updates throughout Carl’s stay — it was clear he was being very well looked after. When I picked him up, he was calm, healthy, and completely himself, which tells you everything you need to know about the level of care he provides. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with John again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter.”
“My furbaby was comfortable with Keirstin. He spent a day with her before his 3 nights of boarding. He was quite excited to see her again to start his boarding for which I was pleased to see. While we were away, Keirstin sent us photos and updates and she was very responsive when I asked questions about his settling in her home. Thank you Keirstin.”
“They were great. We were in town for a concert and we needed someone on short notice, so we messaged. They got back to us right away, great communication. I even got picture updates..”
“Matthew took such good care of Noel and treated her like his own pet. You can tell he truly loves and cares for animals. He was so gentle and patient with her, especially with her anxiety. I noticed Noel had a better transition with Matthew than she had with any other sitter I have used in the past which says a lot about his character and the care he gives animals. 100% would use him again in the future. Thank you again!”
“Jestine was amazing, she really helped us during our wedding weekend and we even got to see our baby on our wedding day because of her. 10/10 for our first experience using Rover”
“So incredibly grateful to have found Meghan and Jason. We had a meet up prior to our booking dates and felt more than comfortable to have them take care of our baby Armin. A big plus is that they have one of the best dog parks their community, it’s huge! We received plenty of videos and pictures daily. Armin was even laying upside down in their care, which he only does when he’s extremely comfortable and we have yet to see that with any prior rover experiences. Armin easily gets diarrhea if he has any changes to his food or treats but Meghan and Jason did great with his regimen. We got him back with healthy poops lol. They even accommodated to drop him off at the end of our booking which we desperately needed. I can’t say enough good things about them and am excited to have found a future pet sitter with zero worries 🙂”
“Paul is excellent! Dunley is a 5-year-old lab/cattle dog with high energy. Paul made sure Dunley got enough exercise, walks, and plenty of fetch. He came back happy. I will definitely use Paul again!”
“An absolutely wonderful experience! Leo was treated like family and came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. The communication was excellent, with updates and pictures that made us at ease. We truly appreciate the love and attention given to Leo. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Laxmi to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring person and a place 😊”
“Marlo was wonderful! She sent me daily photos and kept me updated about pickup and drop-off times, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely recommend her and will gladly book with her again!”
“My first time leaving my dog with someone and he fell in love with Tammy and her family from the beginning(dogs know good people)! Updates and pictures of the dog made it all much easier. Coming home and seeing how calm and happy he was, was enough to know he had a great time! Definitely will be our “go to” person!”
“Heather and her family were so sweet with my Buzz! I’ve had the same dog sitter for years, so I was nervous when I suddenly needed to find someone new. From the start, they were incredibly kind, caring, and attentive with him, which gave me so much peace of mind and allowed me to truly enjoy my trip. They also have an amazing backyard where Buzz could run around, play, and make himself at home. I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. I highly recommend Heather and will absolutely be using her again!”
“Caitlin was amazing, her and Georgia took such great care of our pup. Super communicative and flexible. Nice long walks and plenty of attention our dog came back a happy camper.”
