“I came home to two happy, healthy dogs. I didn't worry about them once while I was away because Grace is so good with them. She sent pictures and updates. Grace is my go to sitter!”
“Thank you for taking care of Joey. Megan and Vitaly were very accommodating and welcoming. Highly recommend. Only complaint- I wish they took more pictures of Joey during the stay.”
“Jenna was fantastic, flexible, and fluid in all communication. We were in a pinch from out of state and she responded immediately, was willing to do a meet prior to ensure it was all ok and coordinated with multiple people in my family for drop offs and pick ups throughout the long weekend. She sent pics consistently with context and updates and you could see how at home our sweet Geti girl became after settling in. She really observed Geti to ensure she was as comfortable as possible and gave her all the cuddles. Geti was able to go freely in and outside and relax by the window. We would recommend Jenna to anyone needing some pup sitting or care!”
“Anita was great with my pup!! She sent pictures and updates daily - her home is clean and she lives in such a dog friendly neighborhood for multiple walks and fun!! Definitely recommend booking with her!!”
“Lorraine did an excellent job taking care of our dog for a week! Our dog is rescue who has been with us for just a year so we were nervous about his first separation, but his stay with Lorraine was wonderful. She provided daily updates, photos and kept our pup on his schedule. After his stay, he adjusted back home without any trouble. We definitely recommend Lorraine and would rebook with her in the future.”
“Kaylee was awesome to work with, from the time we 1st contacted her for a meet and greet with her dog and ours, to the day we picked her up. Communication was great, letting us know how our girl was doing and pictures daily +. We will definitely use again if/when the need arises. Thank you Kaylee for loving on Zoey like she was your own. ❤️”
“Catherine and her family were so caring to our elderly dog. They really went out of their way to make sure his separation anxiety and old man ways were managed well. Highly recommend them!”
“My girl came home happy and she didn't want to leave her vacation! Erica was communicative and sent a picture or video almost every day which I told her gave huge comfort to my toddler. She delivered all of Coco Chanel's meds without incidence (and even gave her bi-weekly subcutaneous shot). Thank you Erica, we will book with you again!”
“Sandra is an excellent sitter! Our dog Chico was very happy to be with her! Definitely we will go back to her as needed and certainly highly recommend Sandra as a pet sitter!”
“We left our yorkie, Richie with Julia for over a week and Julia took great care of Richie, took him on regular long walks, shared pictures and videos of Richie and ensured that he ate well and kept him comfortable in her home. Thanks to Julia we were worry free about Richie on our vacation”
“Alexandra and her family took amazing care of our sometimes nervous dog bella and sent her back to us as happy as we left her. As caring and competent a dog sitter as you'll find.”
“Rebooking with Justin and Stephanie was easy through Rover. Just as with our first experience, this one was perfect. Nala fits in well with their busy family, and we recommend highly their great care.”
“Nicole took great care of our dogs. She communicated well before and throughout the visit and made our dogs feel at home. I would be happy to use her services again in the future.”
“I’m grateful that Lindsey accepted Cecelia in her home as her own, and for the gentle care that she provided. From the pictures Lindsey sent me and the texts on the daily basis (even multiple times a day), I could tell that Cecelia was feeling very comfortable, happy, and content that all her needs were being met. I highly recommend Lindsey, and would definitely ask her for the care of Cecelia again.”
“Laura was a fantastic dog sitter! She was flexible with scheduling pick up/drop off, sent an update with a photo, and our pup seemed to have a great time with her. We will definitely use her services again!”

“The best sitter we could ask for. Our cat, Bruce, was sick while we were out of town and Bethany went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and had everything he needed to feel better. An angel.”
“Lila was on time everyday, no issues whatsoever. Out of my 3 cats, one can be difficult to deal with because she’s scared of everything. From what I saw Lila was actually able to get close to her. Very satisfied with her services.”
“It means so much to me that I can go away and know that my two elderly cats with many medical needs are in good hands. Maria is so gentle and sweet with them and makes sure all of their needs are met and medications are given. I am so grateful for her!”
“Katie was amazing with our cat while we were on vacation. She was super easy to communicate with, and sent the sweetest check-in pictures of our cat while we were away. She followed all instructions and I was able to have such a great vacation and not have any worries about my cat being ok while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“Kat is fantastic! My two very shy cats loved Kat; she kindly spent time with both of them during each drop in visit we scheduled for 5 consecutive days and provided us with daily pics/updates. I highly recommend Kat for any pet sitting or walking needs. Thanks, Kat!”
“Stephen was absolutely wonderful watching Brick and Odie! He went above and beyond, sending us pictures, taking them on a nice walk, and keeping us updated. His communication was excellent, and we could tell our dogs were happy and well cared for. We’re so grateful for his help and look forward to having him watch them again!”
“Megan took care of my aging housecat and my home for several days and did an excellent job at both! Her communication was excellent and I loved the pictures that she sent of my little guy while I was away. Highly recommend!”
“Lauren eased all my worries about leaving my baby alone for a long weekend knowing he would be well checked in on. She was fabulous with communication and followed my not so simple (haha) automatic food timer directions to be sure he was fed properly the remaining days until I got home. Will definitely be reach out to her again in the future!”
“We love Chelsea! She always sends adorable photos and is so detailed on how her visit went. It is so nice to not worry about your fur baby when you are away from home. Chelsea is the best!”
About: As a cat owner myself, I know every cat has their own little personality! I've cared for cats over the years and am comfortable with everything from feeding and litter box cleaning to playtime and cuddles. Whether your cat is social and playful or prefers to do their own thing, I'm happy to follow their routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your cat is in good hands.
“Kailyn took very good care of our two precious cats while we were away. She sent us LOTS of photos every day. Honestly, we’re not sure what was cuter – – the pictures of our kitties, or the fact that Kailyn took so many! Thanks, Kailyn and Rover!”
“Cassandra is wonderful! She did a meet and greet with us and our cats prior to the appointment. We had her drop in for our cats while we were away and she took great care of them. She is a true lover of all animals and very respectful. We just found our new permanent cat sitter! Thank you so much ?”
“We love Grace! She's so caring with Willow and is prompt and professional. She customizes the visit and walk to the weather and Willow's temperament on any given day. I can go to work knowing the fur baby is in good hands.”
“Blue was fantastic! He took great care of my cat, sent me pictures and updates and left my house in the same condition he found it. He was reliable and responsible. Will totally use him again!”

“Our terrier mix puppy has been going to Grace’s for a few weeks now (2x weekly for a full work day) and I can’t say enough good things! My husband and I found Grace because on the days my husband can’t come home during lunch, we didn’t want our puppy to be crated or left unattended all day. Grace and her family treat our puppy like their own dog, she becomes part of their family while she’s there. She gets tons of playtime, attention, affection. I absolutely love seeing the “report card” pictures after each day. It’s very clear my puppy is well cared for during her visits. It’s now to the point when we’re pulling up to Grace’s, our puppy gets excited because she knows where she’s at! 10/10 recommend!”

“It was our first time using Rover, but Alyssa helped explain everything and made us feel comfortable. She was also flexible about changing the initial date. We really appreciated how well Jude and Maddie were taken care of for the day! They seemed to have a great day!”
“I really appreciated Nicole's care for and attention to our senior guy. I had no worries leaving him in her care. And since she only takes one animal per day it worked out perfectly. Will definitely use her again!”

About: I love dogs! They are the best creatures and so much more than just a pet. My Boston Terrier & I were together for 14 years, from pup to the end of his beautiful life. That bond is something I carry into every dog I care for. I’ve helped friends and family care for their dogs, fostered an adult dog through the ASPCA, and I treat every pup that comes into my care like my own. When you leave your little love with me you can breathe easy knowing they’re safe, genuinely loved, and in the best hands. I look forward to connecting with you and showing your dog the care they deserve! I work from home and am available throughout the day. Pet care isn’t my routine. Your dog will receive my full attention, love and care whether that’s a walk, a drop-in, or a cozy boarding stay at my home. In my home, dogs are free to explore and feel at home. I have a large yard where they can enjoy fresh air and outdoor time throughout the day. I love being outside and regularly take dogs to the local nature preserve for walks and hikes. I have a smoke free home and can accommodate crating if needed. I never give treats without owner approval and always clean up immediately. At your home, I show up with the same level of care and attention. Throughout every visit I send photos and updates with the same level of care and attention. I’ve been told I should be a dog photographer so expect some really great pictures of your baby!

I do not have a fenced in yard, but your pup will be safely walked with a lead on our two-plus acre lot or on local trails! Controlled environmental play time is offered to pups who are trained to listen off lead!
“Angelita was so welcoming and flexible! You can tell she loves what she does. Cora seemed to have had such a good time that she slept all day and that’s rare with her puppy energy.”
“We're new pet parents. We've had our 8 month old Goldendoodle, Boone, for close to 3 months. We needed to find reliable and loving care for our boy. Stacey was awesome. She arranged a meet and greet at her home and Boone was instantly at home, playing with her dogs and their toys. She's a very caring, loving person and her love for animals is evident. Boone thoroughly enjoyed himself and didn't even care when I left. I wasn't sure if he's would leave to come back home! We will definitely use Stacy again and highly recommend her for your fur babies. Oh she also sent us a picture of him and it appeared he was smiling.”

I will also mainly schedule one dog at a time unless they are from the same family to make sure everyone is safe and happy.
“New favorite sitter! Our boxer can be very anxious, especially her first few times somewhere. Arfel took such wonderful care of her and shared lots of pictures and updates.

About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up with dogs, I was the kid who wanted to meet every pet I came across, and that passion has only grown into adulthood. Along with having my own two dogs and cat, I've spent years caring for the pets of friends and family, treating each one as if they were my own. I also worked as a stablehand at a local farm, where I cared for a wide variety of animals—including cats, dogs, horses, donkeys, goats, cows, and even swans. I've also volunteered with dog walking programs in the city, giving me experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. As a pet owner myself, I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your beloved companion with someone new. That's why my goal is to provide the same love, patience, and attention that I would want for my own pets. I believe communication, reliability, and attention to detail are incredibly important when caring for animals, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality and routine. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cozy couch cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal schedule, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Caring for animals has always been more than a job to me—it's something I truly enjoy, and I would love to help you! Pet care fits easily into my routine! I work a typical 9–5 during the week and have some flexibility for evening visits, but I primarily focus on pet care on weekends. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to each pet and provide reliable, attentive care while you're away. I believe pets are happiest when they're able to stick to their normal routine, so I always do my best to follow each owner's instructions and provide care that's tailored to their pet's needs. Whether I'm stopping by for visits, going on walks, or caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'll keep up with feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, medications if needed, and of course provide plenty of attention and updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: I have my own Belgian Malinois who I love and adore, I’m confident after raising him these past five years that I can provide the quality care your pet needs. I work on a labor and delivery unit so if they can trust me with their babies you should be able to trust me with your pet. I work three twelve hour shifts a week and will have four days out of the week to help out with your pet needs. I can always provide my schedule in advance so you know my availability. I use situational awareness when dog walking. I prefer to utilize the public green spaces provided here. Lastly I have an apartment and fenced in yard that can provide a safe space for your pet.
About: I am a lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of dedicated pet care experience & share an instant bond with almost every pet I meet. As a proud pet parent to a 6 year old Heeler who is my absolute best friend and a cat I rescued from my driveway at just 6 weeks old, I have hands on, daily experience managing diverse temperaments, intense exercise needs, and strict routines. My background spans the entire lifecycle of pet care, from nurturing young animals to providing compassionate senior care. I am entirely comfortable with specialized care requirements, including administering oral or topical medications, managing strict measurements or raw diets, and providing a calm, low-stress environment for high-anxiety or nervous pets. Raising a high energy working dog and a rescue kitten gives me firsthand experience with the unique needs, quirks, and daily routines of both dogs and cats. Pet care is my top priority and full-time focus. I am currently launching independent entrepreneurial ventures from home, which gives me complete control over my daily calendar and ultimate flexibility. I am available almost any time of day or week to dedicate myself fully to your pet. Your animal bestie will be my main priority, receiving constant supervision, timely potty breaks, and companionship. My flexible routine lets me adapt to your pet's exact daily schedule, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and fully cared for while you are away. Safety, structure, and peace of mind are the foundations of how I care for animals, whether they are staying at my home or yours. In my own household, my dog safely enjoys our yard because he knows his boundaries and responds instantly to commands. My cat on the other hand, lives a secure indoor lifestyle, with the occasional supervised leash walk! :) When caring for your pets, I balance absolute safety with plenty of engagement. For dogs, I maintain a strict policy of keeping them securely on a leash at all times unless we are within a securely fenced area, eliminating any risk of a dog running loose. Rest assured, structured fun is still a massive part of our day; we will enjoy plenty of energetic games, walks, and playtime, all while ensuring your furry family member remains completely safe and protected!

About: I have several years of experience dog-sitting for my neighbors every summer. I find joy in keeping pets entertained and cared for when their families are away. In addition to dogs, I have experience with a variety of animals, including rabbits, cats, a bird, and my own dog. I can ensure the safety and high-quality care for any pet you have. I am currently balancing a part-time job with my full-time college studies. Due to these commitments, I may not be available for 24/7 in-home care with less than two weeks' notice. To ensure I can dedicate my full attention to your pet, I would greatly appreciate as much advance notice as possible. Please feel free to inquire about my schedule, as I am willing to collaborate with you to find a mutually agreeable arrangement, provided there is flexibility on both sides. For in-home dog-sitting, I would prefer to crate the dog, due to having cats. Because of this, I would prefer to watch the dog in your home.
About: My years of having and loving cats and dogs of different types has prepared me to be qualified to love and care for yours when you have a need.

Being with fur babies of the canine and feline variety would be fun. I can tailor my time to your needs. I can come to you so that your loved one does not need to be put in an environment they're not familiar with. Play time, cuddle time, walks, all no problem. I treat them as safely and lovingly as I do my own.
About: Hi! I’m a mom of 1 with loads of experience working with all kinds of animals and I am a current AVA student. I was an intern for an animal shelter for 3 years, a dog groomer, and I’ve always had my own animals too. I’m comfortable with special needs animals and all shapes and sizes. I pet sit for several years too and understand how important it is to find a sitter you can trust and depend on. I’m happy to provide more details on my experience! I've watched animals of all kinds for years, including dogs, cats, bunnies, rats, fish & coral, reptiles and amphibians. I was a professional dog groomer and a shelter intern for 3 years, with lots of safety and behavioral training. I focus on safety when it comes to working with animals and take all precautions when greeting, interacting (or avoiding) other animals, and generally all areas. Second to safety, building trust and bonding with animals is something I value highly. I am typically available after 3:00pm during the week and I am flexible on the weekends. I have reliable transportation and excellent communication skills so parents should feel at ease when I take care of their pets. I always follow all requests and instructions from parents for their pets. I do not sit or board currently in our out of my home.
About: I’m new to the area and excited to be living on the East Coast! I’ve spent my entire life around animals, and about 10 years ago I ran a successful pet-sitting business on the West Coast. I’m excited to get back to doing something I genuinely love. Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals—dogs, cats, hamsters, hedgehogs, lizards, snakes, horses, goats, sheep, chickens, ducks, and plenty of others. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, from Pit Bulls to Chihuahuas and everything in between. I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets, puppies, anxious pets, animals with special needs, and pets who need medications. The one exception? Spiders. (((shudder))) Never spiders. I know every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I’m happy to follow your instructions and care for your pets the way you do. Whether your pet needs a brief visit or several hours of companionship, I’m happy to tailor each visit to their needs. Walks, meals, medication, playtime, or simply some company—I’m happy to give your pets the attention they deserve. At this time, I’m offering check-in visits only and am not able to provide overnight care. I have a special-needs rescue dog of my own who cannot be left alone overnight. However, I can make as many visits during the day as your pets need and can stay for as long as necessary during each visit. I have plenty of references from previous pet-sitting clients and am happy to provide them upon request. I understand that trusting someone with your pets - and your home - is a big deal, and I want you to feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pets are safe, happy, comfortable, and cared for just as you would want. My #1 priority is to provide loving care when you’re not there. I’m available all day, seven days a week—including holidays. I’m happy to accommodate early mornings, late nights, and even last-minute requests. I can work with your schedule. When I’m in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow the pet’s normal routine and schedule. This helps ease the anxiety of having someone new in their space while their parents are away. I also respect your privacy—I know how it feels to have someone go through your belongings, and I could never imagine violating that trust.
About: Hello! I have been in the animal care industry for almost two decades. During this time I was certified as an Animal Care Technician. My training taught me proper handling, how to read body language, and how to gauge temperament in each pet. I have dealt with dogs and cats of various sizes and ages. Other qualifications that set me apart include administering medication to pets, bathing dogs, and teaching dogs basic commands. While visiting your pet I can provide light house-keeping. I have a genuine passion for animals, and hope to someday pursue a career in the field. Thank you for your consideration! Looking for pets who need lunch visits/walks! I enjoy taking care of pets in my spare time. I relish getting out of my house as I currently work from home. I try to treat every pet as if it were my own. When coming into a client's home, I am respectful, and try to leave things in better condition than I found them.

About: When I was 8 my father surprised me with our first ever dog Harley! I fell in love instantly and am so grateful to have grown up with him in our family. When I grew older I took on more rolls taking care of Harley which gave me basic experience in pet care. When he was a senior dog I learned a lot through his medical issues like how to handle medicine and emergency vet visits. Our late dog, Dobby gave me puppy experience showing me how much time, care, and patience is needed for little pups. Anything you need for your dog I’m willing to do! Im a part time college student who also works part time as a server! This opportunity seems like something that could perfectly for my unusual schedule. Dog walking and quick house stop-ins would be my speciality! House sitting and at home sitting is something that would be most easiest if done with a notice in advance:) With the years of experience you can trust me with your home and your pets! I’m a college girl looking for an opportunity that benefits both parties, it’s just a bonus that I love animals! In my care, you and your pets have absolutely nothing to worry about.

“Jenna was fantastic, flexible, and fluid in all communication. We were in a pinch from out of state and she responded immediately, was willing to do a meet prior to ensure it was all ok and coordinated with multiple people in my family for drop offs and pick ups throughout the long weekend. She sent pics consistently with context and updates and you could see how at home our sweet Geti girl became after settling in. She really observed Geti to ensure she was as comfortable as possible and gave her all the cuddles. Geti was able to go freely in and outside and relax by the window. We would recommend Jenna to anyone needing some pup sitting or care!”
“Kaylee was awesome to work with, from the time we 1st contacted her for a meet and greet with her dog and ours, to the day we picked her up. Communication was great, letting us know how our girl was doing and pictures daily +. We will definitely use again if/when the need arises. Thank you Kaylee for loving on Zoey like she was your own. ❤️”
“My girl came home happy and she didn't want to leave her vacation! Erica was communicative and sent a picture or video almost every day which I told her gave huge comfort to my toddler. She delivered all of Coco Chanel's meds without incidence (and even gave her bi-weekly subcutaneous shot). Thank you Erica, we will book with you again!”
“Sandra is an excellent sitter! Our dog Chico was very happy to be with her! Definitely we will go back to her as needed and certainly highly recommend Sandra as a pet sitter!”
“Alexandra and her family took amazing care of our sometimes nervous dog bella and sent her back to us as happy as we left her. As caring and competent a dog sitter as you'll find.”
“Rebooking with Justin and Stephanie was easy through Rover. Just as with our first experience, this one was perfect. Nala fits in well with their busy family, and we recommend highly their great care.”
“Laura was a fantastic dog sitter! She was flexible with scheduling pick up/drop off, sent an update with a photo, and our pup seemed to have a great time with her. We will definitely use her services again!”
“Meagan did an awesome job with our corgi! She kept me up to date with a video and text daily! Dougie has found a “home away from home”! Yay! He’s looking forward to his next visit! 🐾”
“Another successful stay with Megan and Vincent! It was Elsie's and Harper's second time and they are already booked for three nights next weekend. I love getting the pictures and videos while I'm away! Once they walked through the gate into the backyard during drop off, they didn't even look back, not worried at all about being left :).”
“Our dog regularly stays with Brian when we travel and every visit has been wonderful. Brian keeps us updated with information and pictures and our dog comes home well taken care of and very happy. Brian is a terrific sitter and I highly recommend him.”
“Lisa was incredible! This was my first time leaving my dogs with a “stranger”, and I couldn’t have had a better experience! Lisa updated me with pictures often, and even sent my babies home with a photo album of pictures!! My girls loved her, and we will be using her in the future!! ❤️”
“This was our second time and she is wonderful to work with and sends us pictures of our pup while we are away. We liked seeing him running around the big yard with her pup, playing tug a war, and then snuggling on the sofa. Great trip!”
“Angelita was such a great sitter for my puppy. She provided a little bed with a pillow and blanket for my baby and knew immediately what my dog's interests were. She pays much attention to the dogs and let them have much play time at her backyard. She adored and took great care of my baby. Will book her again if i'm in the area.”
“Working with Dolly was great. Constant stream of updates and photos throughout the entire stay. She was able to accommodate my last minute request well. No complaints. Would recommend to others.”
“Betsy did a wonderful job taking care of our girl! She was super accommodating to all of her specific needs and made sure she felt safe and comfortable. It was such a relief to know Remy was in good hands and with someone who treated her as one of her own. I definitely recommend booking with Betsy. Remy is already looking forward to her next stay!”
