“This was my first time using Rover and Michaela made the whole experience so easy and comfortable. It was Lola’s first time meeting her, and she immediately made us both feel welcome. She was very friendly, quick to reply, and kept me updated throughout the night with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. Lola looked happy and relaxed in every update! I would absolutely book with Michaela again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of my girl! 🐾💛”
“Nova seemed very comfortable staying with Jaideep and family. He sent several updates a day and it was very nice knowing that she was happy with them. I am rebooking for another trip and definitely feel better knowing she is in good hands.”
“This was our first time having Crystal be caretaker for our two kitties. It was an outstanding first experience to say the least! Our kitties came home happy, clean (I mention this because the first thing our two kitties stop doing if they feel any kind of stress is letting the shine on their coats diminish. We picked them up today and they were shiny and bright!), and in very good moods. What made the stay even better was that Crystal's daughter and son also took such an active role in the care of our cats, which was so wonderful as the the two cats have different temperaments and both seemed happy with their stay! Just wow, wow, wow! It also was a stay over the Christmas holiday and Crystal was most accommodating! We will absolutely use Crystal again in the future!”
“We are again super happy with the care Jill and her husband provide. She send pictures and updates, we leave our dog here without any worries! Will book again for sure!”
“Stacy was recommended to us for in-home dog boarding, and we are so happy we connected with her! Banjo stayed at Stacy's for 6 days and was in heaven. He had a great time playing in the fenced yard with other dogs, and was clearly pampered while we were away. Stacy is *fantastic* with communication and responded to us promptly and shared updates with us during his stay. Banjo is already eager for us to leave town again so he can stay with Stacy, and we will certainly be repeat clients! Thank you for taking good care of our guy!”
“We are so lucky to have Celestia and Ryan to take care of our senior dog Fiona. Pictures were sent several times a day easing my mind. Fiona takes medicine and I am never worried about her welfare while we are away. Thank you for always taking care of our sweet girl.”
“Kerrie did a wonderful job watching our dog Willow. She took the booking last minute, gave us periodic updates, as well as pictures, and made us feel very informed and assured that Willow was being taken care of. Our dog came home happy and adjusted back right away! We would book Kerrie again without a doubt!”
“Angel is a great dog sitter. Very kind, empathetic and trustworthy. My dogs are rarely away from home but they bonded with her and were able to relax and enjoy themselves while I was away. She was very consistent with getting them some exercise and maintaining a medication schedule for my boy with a touch of arthritis. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“We are very happy with Rosa as our dog sitter. She sent us photos so we could see how good they are doing. Our girls liked her also. Next time we need a dog sitter I will definitely request Rosa. She is very pleasant to work with. Would highly recommend”
“Dannah is amazing! My anxious little guy warmed to her immediately and had a fantastic stay. Dannah is extremely communicative and responsive - she is truly one of the best sitters I've worked with.”
“This was the first time we’ve been away from our pup and Mandy made sure she’s well taken care of. Thank you for accommodating our little Bebon! ♡ You are like a family to her. God bless!”
“Nicole and her family take excellent care of our two dogs. She provides updates throught their stay and sends us pictures of the dogs!! We really enjoy having her watch our dogs and would highly, highly recommend her services to anyone!!”
“Jamie was excellent! My dog teddy had such a blast and was very well cared for during the weekend that I was a way. She sent tons of photos showing my boy having a great time. Definitely recommend Jamie and I plan on using her in the future to watch my dog! A++”
“Our dog, Kallie, had a wonderful time with Heather. She and her husband, Tony, were caring pet parents that made Kallie feel comfortable and like one of their family. They made us comfortable as well, keeping in contact with us and sending fun photos of Kallies visit. Thank you Heather and Tony for taking such good care of our dog and making it possible to fully enjoy our son's wedding day. Would not hesitate to book with Heather again and recommend her services if a loving pet sitter is needed.”
“Alex was Phenomenal with our sweet girl! We constantly got updates, pictures and videos of our baby girl having a blast. Georgie didn't want to leave when it was time to go haha. I 100% recommend Alex and we will for sure be using her services again.”

About: I was raised with cats in the home. I currently have an 8 year old loving/crazy ginger who just loves attention. He has gone through 3 UTI's within the last 5 years, which has caused me to pay attention to his diet, but still give him some healthy treats. I don't have anything that would 100% stick out from other cat lovers, but what I do know is that I will never disappoint. :)
About: I have two cats of my own. I’ve had them my whole life. The one is about to be 16 soon and he needs to wear a diaper whenever he’s roaming the house. Both of our cats were saved from the streets from a young age and we cared for them and still have them. I also go to college for animal studies and have kennel duties that require me to clean the cat room where theres like 10 cats in a night room. So, I know how to care for many cats at one time and for cats that need special treatment as well.
“Victoria was very polite and knowledgeable when interacting with us and the pups. All 3 of them seemed to enjoy her company and liked her from the start! Will be using again for the foreseeable future ?”
“This was our first time using Rover and Amanda was absolutely incredible caring for our 8 cats. She was so professional, respectful, loving, and nurturing of our fur kids and our home. We were deeply impressed and touched by her dedication and kindness to our babies, especially when several of them require medication twice daily. She handled all of them beautifully. We can’t recommend her highly enough.”
“Brendan has shown kindness and care for my two baby cats Chubi and Cholo. He also responded to our messages promptly. I enjoyed my vacation knowing that my boys were in good hands.”
“Kaitlynn has visited with and cared for my dog during multiple visits now. She is easy to communicate with, sends pictures and updates, and my dog loves her and is well cared for! I would recommend Kaitlynn to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

About: Hello! I have always loved animals, and strive to treat all animals as if they were my own.

I would treat your animals as if they were my own. They will never be left outside unsupervised, and I will strive to keep them healthy and happy.
“Lisa was great with our puppies for a few drop-in visits while we were out of town for the day. She kept in contact when she was at our house and provided updates with how the puppies were doing along with some pictures. We got back late, so she even checked the next morning to make sure they were okay when we got home which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend Lisa for all of your dog sitting needs! Thank you so much, Lisa!!”
About: Going up as a kid I have helped care for multiple animals including dogs that were being pet sitted in our home. I have also cared for my own animals, cats and horses, over the last 23 years. In this time I have worked at a horse boarding facility and have done horse sitting for neighbors while they were on vacation. Currently I have 2 dogs which I watch and walk on a regular basis for friends and this has prompted me to want to do this for others as well. I do have experience caring for wounds and giving oral/topical medication. I have also done insulin shots in the past but it has been a while. I currently work full-time Monday thru Thursday and would have available time Thursday evening thru Sunday evening to perform walks or other pet siting needs. I routinely inspect the home space yours or mine for hazards and cleanliness. I currently have a small fenced area where your dog can easily have free time. I also enjoy visiting dog parks and walking well maintained trails. If pet sitting for a cat litter boxes will be cleaned 2x daily or as requested by client.
About: I rescued a feral kitten from behind a family friend’s house, and have been taking care of her for some time now. I got her to eat, sleep through the night, and litter trained her in less than a week. I am very friendly and would love to care for your cats, just as I do for mine!
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over three years and truly love spending time with animals. As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets like family. I’m attentive, reliable, and happy to make sure your pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away.
About: Does your dog have a flair for the dramatics? Would your puppy enjoy long walks around the neighborhood while listening to recitations of Shakespeare's greatest works? I am a theatre professional who takes care of animals in her spare time. Your animals will be a part of my family just as any cast or crew member I work with. I like to stay active and have fun and would be the perfect companion to help watch over your fur baby for a couple of days or for a short break to play with them or take a walk. I have grown up with dogs, worked and volunteered with animal organizations, and have watched over friend's and family's dogs. No matter the canine, I am ready! I'm also a loving mom of two adorable cats

“Highly recommend Jill and Scott's doggy daycare experience. My 7 year old Frenchie thoroughly enjoyed her stay on two different days while we were visiting Bucknell University for my daughter's graduation. Jill was flexible, warm, knowledgeable and reassuring. We had a brief meet and greet with her Doodle at drop off the first day, and Sawyer was relaxed and happy at pick up. On the second visit, Sawyer eagerly ran right inside! Thank you for making our college graduation stress-free and fun for our pup! 😊”
“I was overjoyed to hear that Emily was still available to sit my pups given the state of our world with the COVID-19 Pandemic! While working remotely has its advantages and disadvantages, one of which covers both: pets at home surrounding you when working, a blessing and a curse. Fortunately, by Emily's willingness to watch my dogs for a doggie day care and play date with her dogs gave me the needed relief from them and the necessary exercise for them. It worked out perfectly! While following CDC's guideline of 6-feet apart, not entering her home, and neither of us ill, I feel the day was a great asset to my remaining sane through this challenging landscape we all find ourselves in. Thanks, again, Emily! My pups love visiting and I love visiting your menagerie, too!!”
“I feel so blessed to have found Rosa on Rover. She was so good with my 6-lb shitzu mix, Fiona. She sent me videos, updates, agreed to do a video call while I was on vacation and I have never seen Fiona so happy. She had her own vacation with Rosa and her family. I will certainly reach out to her again and I recommend her to anyone looking for a trusting and professional pet sitter. Thank you for everything, Rosa!!!”

We picked them up today and they were shiny and bright!), and in very good moods. What made the stay even better was that Crystal's daughter and son also took such an active role in the care of our cats, which was so wonderful as the the two cats have different temperaments and both seemed happy with their stay! Just wow, wow, wow! It also was a stay over the Christmas holiday and Crystal was most accommodating! We will absolutely use Crystal again in the future!”

“Stacy was recommended to us for in-home dog boarding, and we are so happy we connected with her! Banjo stayed at Stacy's for 6 days and was in heaven. He had a great time playing in the fenced yard with other dogs, and was clearly pampered while we were away. Stacy is *fantastic* with communication and responded to us promptly and shared updates with us during his stay. Banjo is already eager for us to leave town again so he can stay with Stacy, and we will certainly be repeat clients! Thank you for taking good care of our guy!”
“We are so lucky to have Celestia and Ryan to take care of our senior dog Fiona. Pictures were sent several times a day easing my mind. Fiona takes medicine and I am never worried about her welfare while we are away. Thank you for always taking care of our sweet girl.”
“Kerrie did a wonderful job watching our dog Willow. She took the booking last minute, gave us periodic updates, as well as pictures, and made us feel very informed and assured that Willow was being taken care of. Our dog came home happy and adjusted back right away! We would book Kerrie again without a doubt!”

“Jamie was excellent! My dog teddy had such a blast and was very well cared for during the weekend that I was a way. She sent tons of photos showing my boy having a great time. Definitely recommend Jamie and I plan on using her in the future to watch my dog! A++”
“Our dog, Kallie, had a wonderful time with Heather. She and her husband, Tony, were caring pet parents that made Kallie feel comfortable and like one of their family. They made us comfortable as well, keeping in contact with us and sending fun photos of Kallies visit. Thank you Heather and Tony for taking such good care of our dog and making it possible to fully enjoy our son's wedding day. Would not hesitate to book with Heather again and recommend her services if a loving pet sitter is needed.”
“Wally had such a great time staying with Emily & became best friends with her son! It makes leaving him so much easier & less stressful knowing he’ll be in great hands. Thanks so much! He’ll definitely be coming to stay again in the future.”
About: I love dogs! Over the last 15 years I have fostered over 90 dogs and have owned 7 myself. I currently have 2 pups living with my husband and I. I enjoy loving on them and giving them an amazing life. Dogs have always been a vital part of my life and being able to provide a safe loving environment for other people's dogs makes my heart happy. My husband and I both work from home and are home bodies. Someone is home 96% of the time. I can provide frequent potty breaks and accommodate any schedule your pup is on. I have a small fenced yard and 2 fur kids to n keep your dog company. We can go on walks, always on leash. And best of all inclusive offer lots of love and attention to your pup. I will provide pics and videos of your pets.care and time with me.

“Kendra was amazing with Penny, She was very caring and Penny liked her, we could tell because she was not ready to leave. I would recommend to others because I will definitely be using her again A++”
“Maria and her husband took great care of Clove! :) She gave us plenty of updates, photos and videos. Living in an apartment did not stop them from playing with Clove both indoors and outdoors. She was also very flexible with our requests during her stay. If you want your dog to be loved as part of the family, Maria and her husband are wonderful folks. Will definitely rebook with them again!”
