“Lisa was the best! This is the first time I didn’t take my Lucy with me. I was hesitant since she has some issues. Lucy loved Lisa and I couldn’t be happier! Lisa provided a loving home for her. I’m so happy I found her. Will definitely contact her in the future ! Lisa’s dog didn’t want to see Lucy leave, they were buddies! Lisa kept in contact and sent pictures , that was so nice! I was searching for kennels when the Rover app popped up. So glad I checked it out ! With Lucy’s issues , a kennel would have traumatized her. Thank you again Lisa, I’ve made a new friend!”
“De'Andra and Robert were, loving, attentive and nurturing caregivers that took the time to care for our Cockapoo and her special needs. It was a relief and comfort to receive many pictures and updates over the course of the week. Our pup seemed relaxed and happy in their home, making our time away worry free.”
“Our Puppers just loved hanging out with Kathy! Tucker become her lap dog and Daisy made herself right at home in her well puppy proofed home. They loved their time outside with her and watching squirrels from her back patio window. We will definitely use her again next time we need a sitter!”
“Brionna was excellent with my Gemma. She was patient and cared for her so well. My dog takes a while to get used to sitters and she did so good with her. Hands down the best sitter!”
“Oliver was so loved by Svitlana and her family. I had regular updates and photos, and my dog seemed so comfortable and happy while there. Svitlana was very communicative, and I highly recommend her. We will be repeat customers for sure.”
“Jaideep and his family were wonderful with our Frenchie Guinness. They made us feel so at ease during the meet and greet, and we enjoyed our vacation immensely not having to worry if our pup was OK. It was wonderful receiving updates and pictures several times a day, keeping us informed on how G was doing during our absence. We will definitely use him again!”
“She has provided us with daily updates/photos of our dog. She replied to our questions promptly. She made sure that our dog feels comfortable at their home.”
“We booked her at the last minute and she was very flexible and helpful! She and her family took really good care of our pup. We loved the photos that she sent us of our dog playing.”
“Becky always takes care of my dog with as if he is hers. During this visit my dog got sick and she alerted me immediately and was able to triage the issue carefully watching and comforting him. I trust Becky 100% to care for my dog while I’m away and know that he’ll get the attention and love from her like he’d get from me.”
“Deb is a wonderful person with people and dogs. My dog Lily was a little nervous at first and she was able to help her settle in and have an enjoyable stay. Highly recommend her”
“Tiffany immediately put us at ease. The attention she paid, not only to our needs, but the needs of our dog also. She kept us informed as to the activities she and Andy were doing, and sent numerous photos. He acted like he didn’t want to leave at the end of his stay.”
“We recently had to board our dog, Coco, with Joyce on very short notice due to a family emergency. We can’t thank her enough for her incredible care and support during this difficult time. From the moment we dropped Coco off, it was clear she was in good hands. Joyce was attentive, kind, and made sure Coco felt comfortable and loved. We truly appreciate the extra effort Joyce put into making our pup feel at home. We’ll definitely be returning for future boarding needs. Thank you, Joyce, for being such a wonderful host!”
“I would give more than 5 stars if I could. My boy absolutely loves going to Courtney and Andrew’s! When we pull up in the car, he can’t wait to get out! He runs up the driveway, and he makes himself at home as soon as he walks in. It is such a good feeling knowing that he is so loved and happy with them.”
“Ollie loves staying with Teresa, and I feel confident he's in good hands when I drop him off. Teresa is always quick to communicate and easy to work with when schedules can be a little unpredictable.”

“Krista did a great job with my two kitties! She is prompt and always took pics so I could see for myself how they were doing. One of mine is a big hider but she was content and even eventually ventured out to see Krista! The other cat (the ham) I think fell in love and misses her. I would definitely use her again!”
“So responsive and helpful! Stephanie showed me the ropes as a new user and helped strategize a plan to keep our cat calm through the fireworks. Her check ins were very thoughtful. I had so much confidence that our cat was not only fed but given care and attention <3”
“I am so appreciative of Carley for taking care of my kitties. I worry a lot because one of them has heart problems and Carley was able to get her meds in her. In addition to taking care of them, she also takes care of my peace of mind and the "technical challenges" I have with the App/Website. So very greatful for her!!!”
“Chloe did a great job with our ducks! They were happy and healthy when we got back. She went above and beyond when it ended up being colder than expected. I appreciate all the pictures she sent and the care that she gave them. We would book with her again!”
“Mia was an excellent sitter for our cats while we were away. She was prompt when responding to our booking requests and was easy to talk to during the meet and greet. Her notes after the visits were detailed and gave us comfort knowing everyone was doing well. She even took the time to play with the cats and give them each some attention during her short visits. Thank you Mia!”
“We cannot recommend Ronny highly enough! When another sitter backed out at the last minute, we reached out to Ronny on short notice. He responded promptly and was more than willing to come by for a meet and greet, which immediately put us at ease. From the moment he walked in the door, our cats were comfortable with him which is not always the case. Ronny took his time answering all of our questions and asked thoughtful questions of his own. Even though we admittedly have a very detailed list of instructions, he did an amazing job remembering all the little things and checking in regularly with messages and photos throughout his stay. It was clear that Ronny genuinely cared about making sure our cats were happy, comfortable, and well loved while we were away. He was also incredibly respectful of our home, leaving everything exactly as we left it. He even went above and beyond by offering to clear our driveway after an unexpected snowfall. If you’re looking for someone who truly goes the extra mile and treats your pets like their own, Ronny is absolutely the person to book!”
“Melinda responded promptly to my last minute request and showed up on time. She listened and followed directions and was respectful to my wishes. Melinda was friendly and handled the animals with care. She was kind to the humans too. I recommend her and will use again.”
“Tammi is lovely she took great care of Callie during her visits, filled out the report card and left purposefully feedback and photos too! 10/10. I would not hesitate to rebook when needed. Thanks again Tammi for all your care and being you!”

I am currently a student at Wilmington University and am available anytime after 11 a.m. due to lacrosse practice. Also I am available for house sitting overnight Since I have pets of my own.

About: I’m Alex and I currently have one pitbull so I am A 24/7 dog mom! I love hiking and being out in nature. I have a high energy personality that is perfect for wearing any pup out. Growing up my parents owned dogs of all sizes and personalities (Dalmatian, Akitas, border collie, and jack russel) I love the Lower Allen dog park and would gladly take any dogs there with permission! My previous rescue pit had an abusive past which sadly caused some behavioral issues. Due to that I am more than comfortable watching any dogs that may be a little rough around the edges. I have no problem giving any daily medication needed. I’m just a fun loving dog owner who would love to give your dog wonderful care and attention! I am a stay at home mom so my days are pretty open. I also have access to flexible free child care through grandparents so I don’t have to have my child with me during any dog visits or stays. This allows me to be able to work with your needs! I’m available for caring overnight in your home where your pup is most comfortable! Lots of attention and if they’re allowed in the bed or on the couch they’ll be right there next to me. I am not currently available to be hosting animals at my own home.
“Thank you Alexis for taking care of the Pavey household!! We have 4 cats including 1 elderly cat that needs a bit of special care. Alexis was there every day for 7 days twice a day and did a fantastic job of keeping them safe and loved. Vacation was very peaceful - this is the first time we used a pet sitting service and I will definitely be in touch in the future :)”

“My pup Samson and I did a meet and greet with Krista a few weeks ago and decide we liked her. He had his first daycare session with her last week and loved it so much he didn’t want to leave. What more could a dog mom ask for?”
“Aurora was easy to communicate and very responsive. She welcomed my dog into her home and made her feel comfortable. By the 3rd day, my pup was running and wagging her tail to get out of the car and to Aurora’s door. Highly recommend.”
“Katlyn has been great with Honey. She is great with providing updates and photos. Her home provides a very calm and soothing atmosphere. I would definitely recommend for shy dogs like my Honey.”
“JoLi did a great job caring for my dog Millie! I was a bit nervous as our long-time sitter moved but JoLi made me feel comfortable right away. She sent regular updates and was very flexible. I will definitely send Millie to stay with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Jaideep is wonderful with my husky!! My husky is shy around men but Jaideep is definitely a dog whisperer!! He has changed my husky from being shy to my husky not wanting to leave Jaideep's house!!🤣 If you want someone who's attentive and cares about your dog Jaideep is your guy! Highly recommend!! Will be using Jaideep in the future!!”
“Katiuska did an amazing job taking care of our puppy. She maintained fantastic communication and updates on how our puppy was doing throughout the day. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone, especially if you have a dog that suffers from anxiety, Katiuska took amazing care of him.🥰🥰🥰”
“This was the first time using Josie as a sitter. I was nervous about leaving Charli with someone that I had never met before. However, after reading her other reviews my worries lessened. Josie kept me posted throughout the day with notes and pictures which also lessened the anxiety. I hope to be using Josie as a sitter again in the near future.”
“Sujeong was extremely responsive; she sent pictures of pepper regularly. She went above and beyond to make pepper feel comfortable; my dog is usually very nervous and shy with someone new but I could see how she extremely comfortable with Sujeong. If I’m ever in the area again, I’ll definitely contact them again for dog boarding!”
About: I’ve always had pets around and love them!! I have experience with fosters, training, seniors, grooming and have some vet tech training. I also own one little pup right now! I have had the opportunity to offer pet services for the last few years and have cared for small dogs all the way to large animals. Reach out with questions! Would love to have pet care as my fulltime hustle, I’m looking forward to building my client base and serving their needs to the best of my ability! I live in a complex that is very quiet and has a great walking community with play yards and other pups to play with if desired!

About: I’ve been around dogs of all different sizes and breeds since I was a young kid. I have always loved dogs and wanted my house full of them when I got older. This gives me a chance to care for all the dogs I’ve always wanted to. I have history with dogs that have different temperaments and know how to handle dogs of all different energy levels. I am a stay at home mom of two younger kids who love all animals so your pups will never be alone.

We have lots of room indoors as well as outdoors for snuggle time on the couch, floor or wherever they feel comfortable. We have an upstairs and downstairs so there is room for a crate if your pet feels more relaxed in there own space. I do also have a large crate unused if you can’t bring your own! I have the ability and practice of giving dogs medications if needed so anything your dog may need while staying with me will be no problem at all!

“We couldn’t be happier with the amazing care our dog received while we were away on vacation. Lauren went above and beyond to make sure our pup felt loved, comfortable, and well-exercised every single day. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dog was in such capable and caring hands. From daily walks and playtime to thoughtful updates and photos, everything was handled with professionalism and genuine love for animals. Our dog absolutely adored her and it showed! We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, which says everything about the quality of care provided. We are so grateful and highly recommend Lauren’s services to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and truly exceptional with dogs!”
“This was Ruby’s first time being walked by someone other than a family member- so she was a little nervous! But Ronny made a nervous momma and pup feel at ease right away. He greeted Ruby with a smile and happy puppy talk. Clearly she enjoyed the walk as she’s passed out at my feet!”
“Elise was amazing! She helped with daily drop in visits for about 5 weeks, and was awesome the entire time. She came over for a meet and greet beforehand and Bia loved her! Elise was super communicative and took so many pictures for every visit. I definitely recommend Elise for any doggie needs, and will definitely request her again if ever in the area! :)”
About: Taking care of dogs and cats has been my specialty since I was a child! I have had 8 dogs of all kinds, as well as 10 cats, not including my grandmother’s. My family and neighbors would trust me to feed and water their pets while they were away. I am great at crating puppies and socializing feral/young kittens. It’s always a pleasure to brush or bathe pets depending on their size! I am working a part-time job at Petsmart so my day is already filled with furry faces! But I will still have plenty of days where I can come take care of your puppy or kitty! My schedules are usually two weeks out so I have plenty of notice of when I am free. Contact me of a day when you’d like me to care for your pet and I will let you know the earliest I am available that day! Unfortunately I am not in a position to invite pets into my home… I am figuring out my living situation and will update this section when I have a suitable place for pets to visit!
“Cynthia is absolutely awesome! She is great with Tucker and leaves you very detailed and funny rover cards. She sends plenty of pictures and videos so I know my baby is having fun and enjoying her company!”
About: Being around animals just brightens my day! I was a groomer for 2 years before becoming a mom full time. I have experience with dogs ranging from little baby doggies to the giants of giants and I love them all. I ABSOLUTELY will take pictures of your furbaby so fully expect picture updates along the way. I have experience with diabetes in dogs so I’m good with giving insulin injections as well as taking blood for blood sugar checks. I’ve dog sat for friends/family/neighbors and my priority is to always treat every pup as my own. I have 8 years experience house sitting/checking in/dog walking for others and 11 years personal experience. I’m a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to hangout with your fur babies! My morning availability starts at 8:30am. When doing check ins or house sitting I like to follow any requests/routines you the pet parent already have in place for your fur babies day to day.
“If you missed my 6 star review, after Natalie’s last visit with the pups I would raise it to seven stars! We made a very last minute change to our itinerary and she was able to accommodate us. As always she takes great care of our pups and leaves the house immaculate. Lots of communication, check ins and pictures. It is wonderful to have found someone who is so responsible. I almost hate to have to share her. You can’t go wrong having her take of your pets!”
“Mya is amazing with our dog. We have booked her on many different occasions and she’s always great. We were nervous having a stranger walking our little guy, but Mya is awesome. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for someone you can trust your puppy with!”
“Billie is lovely and fantastic with our pup. She is super to work with and we look forward to having her help out whenever one or both of us are traveling!”
“We were super impressed with Leilani and the way she cared for our dog, Doc. She took him out on a sweltering hot day but gave him plenty of time to do his business and then showered him with attention inside where it was cool. All the while she kept us updated and sent pics and a note when she was finished. Definitely recommend!”
