Britanny was amazing and helped me a lot last minute to get a pet sitter for my kitten. She usually doesn’t do kittens, but she was gracious enough to take Bowie in for the night. She sent me so many pictures of him having fun and sent me home with some goodies too :) I highly recommend her

Erica and Tom were great, from the moment we dropped off our dog to picking him up. Charlie felt right at home as he was treated like on of their own. They even accommodated bringing Charlie all the way to our wedding just so we could get photographs with him after the ceremony. Great communication and would definitely use again.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for many different kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, chickens, and even reptiles! I’m very responsible, patient, and attentive, and I truly enjoy making pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I’ve watched numerous animals over the years and understand how important it is to treat every pet like family. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or just a calm and caring environment, I’ll make sure they get the best care possible! I currently work part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets lots of attention, care, and playtime throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, boarding, and pet sitting during most weekdays and weekends. I love spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I provide a calm, loving, and clean environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for. I’m very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions provided by owners. I also have experience around different types of animals and understand the importance of patience, supervision, and making pets feel secure.

Our first encounter with Karen was very calm and she was super sweet. Remi warmed up to her almost immediately. It was a last minute booking and she was able to accommodate a meetup before the actual boarding which I appreciated. She kept us updated with photo and videos of Remi throughout the day. That alone gave me a peace of mind. Overall very pleased and would love to rebook again in the future.

CaraLynn was excellent with our two skittish Shetland Sheepdogs. She sent us pictures and updates of their activities and meals throughout the day, which made our time apart from them less stressful and worrisome. One of our dogs typically doesn't eat when placed in an unfamiliar environment, but he did so with CaraLynn. That is a positive reflection on her and how dogs respond to her. My wife and I recommend CaraLynn highly and would use her for dog-sitting services again in an instant.

Cait was awesome with Arlo, who I had just adopted a couple months before and had to come with me on a work trip. I basically had to drop him and run on the first day, and he barked at her! Cait was super sweet and had his tail wagging w/in minutes. She accommodated some schedule changes, enforced his training commands, and did super fun stuff with him. She was sad to see him go, which I took as the mark of someone who really cares about animals!!

About: Hi, My name is Brooke I go by Seven and my entire life has been surrounded by animals, from catching frogs, lizards, feeding the squirrels and always just having that touch even with the animals that don't trust or care for most humans. I have that special something. I started walking the whole neighborhoods dogs when i was 9 years old, i would walk up to 5 at a time. At the age of 13 i started volunteering for an animal rescue fostering dogs and cats. I was the girl growing up all my friends would bring stray or lost animals too. 16 i started working as a vet assistant, at 18 working a 150 dog ranch/doggie daycare and boarding facility to then move on into my early twenties working a place in Seattle called Dogwood Play Park, the first of its kind. It was an indoor outdoor 21 plus play park and daycare. Owners could bring their dogs to play while they had a beer and got to know other dog lovers, I built many beautiful dog... and people friendships there. I have always been told by the owners they that their dogs listens to me better..I say its just cause i am alpha pack leader!! I have massive respect and love for all animals. I worked in Portland Oregon on a farm in 2022 called Trisklee farm where i cared for all the animals on the property as farmer seven, i did weekend tours of the farm and helped run kids summer camp.I am very good with all ages and types of animals. My biggest strength is animal body language, i can read an animals move before they do it. Something i have picked up over my life span over working with animals everyday. I can administer medications and very aware of your pets behaviors to make sure they feel the most comfortable at all times. I owned guinea pigs, giant Flemish Rex rabbit, cats, and just recently lost my best friends Clyde who was a mastiff Doberman this June , he was almost 12. And Alice my English mastiff who was almost 11 back in 2023 . large breeds are my specialty. I just had a new born on July 29th 2026 and have a year and a half year old as well. I am a stay at home mom who misses her pets and want my children to grow up around animals without making the commitment right now to add to the family. So being good around children who are young and learning boundaries is a must so we don’t put your pet or my children in an uncomfortable or dangerous situation. Hope to hear from you and care for your furry babies . I am a doula and stay at home mom I jsut lost my soul dog and looking to add some furry friends to our pack as friends for my children to learn to be around and get some love . I am very loving at attentive, I notice your pets needs almost immediately and what works for them. I’ll be as involved or chill as they need me to be. It’s your pets world I’m living in it. Yet I’m still alpha and set boundaries

About: Hi there, I’m Brenda! 😊 I’m a dedicated pet sitter with a background in animal care. I’ve completed a vet assistant certification and have worked in a local veterinary clinic in Sag Harbor, gaining hands-on experience in pet health and well-being. I also spent time working in an animal shelter in Brazil, caring for pets of all kinds, including rescues with special needs. Your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priorities, and I’d love the opportunity to care for them as if they were my own. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! 🐾💕 I’m a full-time pet sitter, so I have a flexible schedule to accommodate your pet’s needs. Whether it’s daily visits, extended stays, or customized care, I’m happy to work around what’s best for you and your furry friend! 🐾 I also offer Half Day Pet Care, a personalized 4–5 hour care service in your pet’s home. This is not traditional daycare at my house—instead, I spend dedicated time with your pet, providing companionship, walks, playtime, dog park, and plenty of attention. Pickup and drop-off services are included. Unfortunately, I’m unable to take pets into my home since I live in a rented place. That’s why I provide pet care in their owner’s home, where they can stay comfortable and stress-free in their familiar environment. This also allows me to keep their routine as normal as possible while you’re away! 🐾💕

This was my first time using Rover.com. I had picked up my German shepherd, Evie, from a shelter in North Carolina last November. Based on her recorded condition when brought in as a stray 5 weeks before she had been through a rough period. She has fully recovered now and is in good health. My wife and I wanted to find someone to board her with where she would be happy when we're away. We identified a few possibilities at the Rover website and following a positive meet and greet with Nadjeska last week, had Evie spend the day with her yesterday. It went very well. Nadjeska sent us several texts with photos during the day updating us on Evie's stay. We were looking for a home where Evie could spend time with and play with other dogs and Evie made a new friend, Sparkles, Najeska's little dog. Nadjeska has a fenced yard which provides a safe place for them to run around in the fresh air. Evie seemed to enjoy the day, Nadjeska obviously loves dogs, and we will be repeat clients in the near future.

Melissa was so nice and accommodating. She even offered to pick up and drop off our dog since it was our wedding. Cruz came back happy as can be and she shared some videos of him playing and having a great time. Would definitely use her again.

We were in town visiting from Virginia and needed to find someone to watch our baby Jax for a day. So glad we found Elisa! She was very responsive to our request and was able to accommodate our change in pick up time. I can tell her and her family treated Jax like one of their own because he adapted so quickly! And I can tell he had a lot of fun because he instantly went to sleep. We’ll definitely book Elisa again if we need another sitter when we’re back in town!

About: I have over ten years of experience with dogs. I had a rat terrier named Imani growing up so I have experience with high energy dogs from puppies to seniors. I have 4 years of experience with cats. Three years with two seven year old boys during a previous relationship where I honed my cat care, training skills and love for cats. So much so that I adopted my own cat, a two year old named Billie, last year. I have also trained her to sit, lay down and fetch as well as using positive reinforcement to dissuade scratching behaviors. I am currently working for myself as a freelance photographer and consultant so I have a pretty flexible schedule and can accommodate multiple drop in’s in one day or work from your home while pet sitting. I am dedicated to maintaining a clean and safe environment for the pet I’m caring for. I love to send picture and video updates regularly. I love to play with cats and dogs and am committed to their happiness and safety.

About: From a young age, one of my greatest aspirations was to learn how to properly train and care for dogs. At just nine years old, I saved my birthday money and—with the help of my parents—welcomed my very first puppy into my life. From that moment forward, dogs have remained a central part of my life. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of raising and caring for five dogs, including one beloved companion who is no longer with us. Today, my fur family includes two Shih Tzus, an Australian Cattle Dog, and a Miniature Australian Shepherd. After relocating to Kansas City, I brought my Australian Cattle Dog and Mini Aussie with me. My two Shih Tzus were raised in New York and remain there with family, where they are comfortable in the environment they’ve always known. Needless to say, these animals mean the world to me. They bring immeasurable joy, companionship, and energy into everyday life, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with the care of your pet. I would be honored to care for your dog with the same attentiveness, patience, and integrity that I give my own. In addition to general care, I am well-versed in puppy development, foundational training techniques, and behavioral correction strategies. If your dog would benefit from structured guidance during our time together, I’m happy to incorporate that as part of the experience. My personal dogs do not need to be present during any service. However, if your dog forms a positive connection with one of mine and you specifically request that they join us for companionship during walks or activities, I’m happy to accommodate when appropriate. In those cases, it can create a fun and enriching experience for everyone involved. My goal is simple: to ensure your dog feels safe, engaged, and well cared for—while giving you complete peace of mind. Pet care is already part of my daily routine so, adding another to the pack isn’t a hassle! My two pups keep me busy and on schedule, they’re fed around 8am, and again at 5pm. Aside from routine morning walks, they exercise for roughly 1.5hrs daily (depending on weather conditions). My home is smoke free, and pet welcoming. I have 4 amazing dogs (Mini Aussie, Australian Cattle Dog, and 2 Shitzus) that will happily keep your pup entertained! They are thoroughly trained and well mannered. If you have a pet that you don’t think will do well with this interaction, I will gladly chat with you to see if we can find a way to accommodate! I have a spacious, fenced-in, backyard area for you dogs to enjoy themselves!

Britanny was amazing and helped me a lot last minute to get a pet sitter for my kitten. She usually doesn’t do kittens, but she was gracious enough to take Bowie in for the night. She sent me so many pictures of him having fun and sent me home with some goodies too :) I highly recommend her

Erica and Tom were great, from the moment we dropped off our dog to picking him up. Charlie felt right at home as he was treated like on of their own. They even accommodated bringing Charlie all the way to our wedding just so we could get photographs with him after the ceremony. Great communication and would definitely use again.

About: Hi, I’m Ariel! 🐾 Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. From growing up caring for family pets to rescuing dogs in need, I’ve spent decades learning how to understand and care for pups of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. I’m now a proud dog mom to two dogs of my own, both of whom I’ve personally trained from puppyhood. I’ve navigated everything from potty training, crate training, leash manners, and basic obedience to caring for senior dogs who need a little extra patience, comfort, and attention. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a spirited adult, or a sweet senior, I treat every dog like they’re part of my family. I understand that every pup has unique needs, routines, and quirks, and I take the time to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Expect plenty of walks, playtime, belly rubs, photo updates, and one on one attention. My goal is simple: for your dog to have such a great time that they’re excited to see me again! 🐶💕 Spending the summer in Sag Harbor, I’m fortunate to have access to beautiful walking routes and dog friendly areas, making every outing an adventure. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. Reliable, attentive, and genuinely dog-obsessed, I’m here to provide the same level of care I’d want for my own pups. I'm up in Sag Harbor for the summer and currently semi retired from my 14 year career in property management. With two pups of my own I am fully capable of feedings, walks, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, and some medical. I'm great at understanding the different personalities dogs may have. I will ensure your pups are always safe and well taken care of so you can stay worry free.
