“We have greatly benefited from having Diego & Amelia P. provide Boarding service on multiple occasions for our two Australian Labradoodles. They consistently deliver outstanding care for our furry children, as they are extremely thorough and compulsive in meeting all of their needs. All of the members of their family create a warm and loving environment in which our pets are always relaxed and thriving. We loved receiving daily photos of our pooches resting peacefully and cuddling with members of their family. Accordingly, we highly and unreservedly recommend Diego & Amelia P. for all your Boarding and Doggy Day Care needs.”
“Alexandra and family are always wonderful to my baby boy! But this time they go above and beyond! We left for a week. And unfortunately, he ran out of food. Alexandra and family cooked him homemade food, like I did with him! Just exceptional!!!”
“Thalita was absolutely fabulous starting from the meet and greet all the way through to when I picked my girl up. Throughout my Chanel's stay, she kept me updated with pics and giving status reports about her day. When my 2 year old son asked about our Chanel while we were traveling, he was quite content with the photos that Thalita provided, but she even offered to video chat if that did not completely satisfy him. I was pleasantly surprised that when I arrived to pick up my Coco Chanel she didn't want to leave. We will DEFINITELY be using Thalita, and I cannot thank her enough for taking such great care of my girl!”

“Where to begin? I’m traditionally a mess when I have to leave my little man to travel for my job. Or should I say I used to be a mess. And then Juliana entered our lives and my stress vanished. Could not have been a better experience. Spoiled our little guy while he was there and keep me in the loop with adorable photos at every step. Very grateful for Rover helping make this connection.”
“I was so thankful to Allison and her daughters for taking such good care of my senior dog . My dog starts to become agitated the moment I leave him . I was so worried but I received a text and picture about an hour and a half later showing my dog relaxed and cuddling with one of her little girls❤️I received regular updates and pictures. My worries about leaving him were quickly put to rest . Allison and the girls treated him like their own. I am forever grateful. I cannot recommend Allison enough. 10 stars !!”

It was clear she genuinely cared about Pepper, and he had a great time with her, her family, and her dog, Bullet! We truly appreciated the attention and love she gave him. We’re so happy to have found our go-to person and will definitely be using her again! Thank you SO much to Tielian, Bullet, and the boys!”

About: We had a family cat when I was in my earlier teens that I primarily cared for, and have cat-sat for my family friends for years. I will say, most of my experience is mainly feeding and filling water and just hanging out with cats, but if you have any special requirements feel free to tell me about them, and I'll let you know if it's something I would be capable of doing for you!

“Sophia went above and beyond caring for my cats during a massive heatwave, checking in with us and reassuring us that the air conditioning was still working well. The cats were well taken care of! Would absolutely hire again.”
About: Every cat has a different personality and routine, and I always adjust my care to what makes them feel most comfortable. Whether your cat enjoys playtime and attention or prefers a calm, quiet environment, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and stress-free while you’re away. I have cared for cats my whole life and am a current cat mom to my 15-year-old cat Henry, so I understand how important consistency, patience, and trust are when caring for cats.
“Meredith was great in taking care of our four cats while we were away! Our one cat decided that our wedding day was the perfect time to get stuck in a basement crawlspace and Meredith’s communication and flexibility in addition to care put us so at ease. Highly recommend!”

“Katelyn sat for my cat Cosmo and I’m thankful that she was able to help out. Cosmo warmed up to her quickly and he was always happy to see her when she came. The photos she sent were a nice touch also. I’d be happy if she could sit for Cosmo again sometime in the future and I’m sure Cosmo wouldn’t mind either.”
“Marisa is the best pet sitter I have ever known. She’s accountable, sweet and a very good listener. We extended our trip and she was so accommodating. Her videos came over at the same times each morning and evening and made our trip so enjoyable because we saw how happy our cats were with Marisa.”

About: I grew up with dogs. When I was 18 I co-adopted two pitbulls who lived out their lives with me. After college, I volunteered for Monster Milers taking shelter dogs from Street Tails Animal Rescue out for runs to help them burn energy and become more adoptable. My wife and I have adopted three times. A fawn pug who lived until 9 years old, a black pug who lived until 17 years old, and a Alaskan Malamute/Husky/Amstaff mix (107lbs) that lived until he was 13 and we recently lost. I'm good with all furry friends big and small and adjust my approach based on the dogs energy. I currently have a ton of flexibility outside of my kids to help with your pups, but generally, I'm home a lot and very active so lots of room to get your pup out for long walks and exercise/stimulation. I do not have a fenced in yard, and always keep my dogs on leashes until they were absolutely ready to listen solely to my commands. I use a gentle leader that helps minimize impact on their throat and also is very effective with pulling, but can be flexible to your sitch.
“We booked Alessandra to watch Ruby three days in a row during the workday, and she truly treated Ruby like one of the family. Where Ruby had previously displayed some anxiety when we left her with others, she was more than happy to spend time at Alessandra's. On top of that Alessandra shared plenty of photos and videos throughout the days that put my mind at ease that Ruby was doing just fine. She also worked with our timing needs. Would absolutely rebook!”
“I am so lucky to have found Erica on Rover. She is amazing and my doggies absolutely had a fabulous time with her ! She is pleasant and kind and after the first visit they got excited when they saw her for their second day. Going to work is so easy now that my guys have Erica caring for them. We are going to continue with her for as long as she will have them.”

“Clarissa is extraordinary! She watched my Bambi girl. I got updates, the cutest photos and videos of Bambi having the most fun. I feel so lucky to have found her and her family for dog care. All the dogs are treated like their own, like family! She has a huge, secure fenced in yard, a doggie door where the dogs are free to go in and out as they please, and a HUGE heart for all the dogs under her care. I really can’t say enough about Clarissa and her family! When it came time to pick up Bambi, she didn’t want to leave! That says it all!!!”

“Belle had such an amazing time! Chonlada and her fam were absolutely amazing.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and am also comfortable caring for cats. I’ve provided pet care for neighbors and have experience managing different personalities and energy levels.

I am currently out of school and starting a full-time job in late August, so this summer is very open for me. I do not currently have a part-time position, so my days are super open and I will take all work offered to me. I live in Wayne, with a large, fenced-in yard, around a spacious and clean home. I have siblings, all of which have as much experience with and love for animals as I do. With my siblings being in school and having sports and jobs, and my parents having work, the house is usually completely empty anyways. We are the ‘go-to’ house when any family or friends need a pet-sitter, so we’re all very comfortable dogs of all sizes and personalities.

I can give medication, take your dog for walks during the evening and weekends and can provide extra love when you are not around.

About: I have been caring for my grandparents dogs while they go on vacation ever since I was 10, always making sure they were walked, fed, and kept in clean conditions. Caring for animals is never about just getting the job done for me, I genuinely love animals of all kind and enjoy interacting with them and getting to know each pets personality. In the absence of pets of my own, I have even taken to befriending crows, squirrels, chipmunks, and more in my backyard so that I still get to engage with animals daily. I currently only work part time on certain days, allowing me full freedom to care for your animals as often as needed to ensure they do not get lonely or bored while you are away! I always make sure the animals basic needs are met—food, water, and physical/mental stimulation—but also go above and beyond to make the animal feel loved and less anxious while their families are away.

I’ll be starting nursing school in evenings this fall, so I’m working and saving. I’m available most days for walks, check-ins, and sitting, and I stick to your pet’s routine! I focus on keeping pets safe and comfortable. I have two cats, so I’m used to daily care and routines. I will follow instructions closely and make sure pets are supervised and stress free.

“Ben, Julie, Winter and Rosy were wonderful hosts to Sox! Thank you for taking great care of him - having that peace of mind makes traveling a whole lot easier. I know Sox had a great time!! Thank you again and I have no hesitation in recommending Ben!”
“Zuzu had a great stay. She was comfortable and had fun going for walks. Getting the pictures and updates was reassuring and let us know she was doing well. Zuzu loves to stay with Andrew and Uklu and will be back again soon!”
“Thalita was absolutely fabulous starting from the meet and greet all the way through to when I picked my girl up. Throughout my Chanel's stay, she kept me updated with pics and giving status reports about her day. When my 2 year old son asked about our Chanel while we were traveling, he was quite content with the photos that Thalita provided, but she even offered to video chat if that did not completely satisfy him. I was pleasantly surprised that when I arrived to pick up my Coco Chanel she didn't want to leave. We will DEFINITELY be using Thalita, and I cannot thank her enough for taking such great care of my girl!”
“David did a great job watching our dog. He provided us with timely updates as well. I highly recommend David war hing anyone's dog as he clearly has a lot of experience and cares about the dogs he watches.”
“Our dog James had a blast with Emelie and her pup! We had pictures and videos sent through the weekend and we could tell he was having a blast. We will definitely be requesting her services in the future!”
“This was an amazing stay for our boy! They sent so many photo updates we could really enjoy our trip knowing our pup was well cared for! Would love to use this family to watch our dog again❤️”
“I was so thankful to Allison and her daughters for taking such good care of my senior dog . My dog starts to become agitated the moment I leave him . I was so worried but I received a text and picture about an hour and a half later showing my dog relaxed and cuddling with one of her little girls❤️I received regular updates and pictures. My worries about leaving him were quickly put to rest . Allison and the girls treated him like their own. I am forever grateful. I cannot recommend Allison enough. 10 stars !!”
“WOW - I don't even know where to start. I've been boarding / working with pet sitter's for over 14 years and Christin is top tier. Not only is her home so perfect for dogs (a big backyard?! such a treat!), her demeanor and understanding of dog behavior makes her one of the best. When we had our meet-and-greet my pups instantly starting showing signs of being relaxed (playing with toys and eating bones which never happens at new places) and kept going up to Christin for pets and love. Christin provided ample updates and photos and was super understanding of the quirks and difficulties of caring for a senior pup. It's hard to leave my 15.5 year old dog but I trusted Christin immediately. I will be re-booking for sure even just for single days for my dogs to enjoy her yard.”
“We will definitely be checking for Rebecca’s availability next time we need a dog sitter she was so great with our pup. She sent a lot of updates and pictures and treated Jackie like her own. Thanks again Rebecca!”
“Joanna is the BEST of what Rover has to offer. Our 10 month old Goldendoodle Benny was cared for by her as if he was her own. We were out of the country for 6 days and the stress of having to leave him at a boarding facility was just too much. So I turned to Rover and after a few misses, found Joanna. On paper she sounded perfect. Before we actually booked anything we met up at a park near her house and she brought her little dude Henry. We spent about 30 minutes together and talked, watched the dogs play, and by the end of it I knew she was exactly what we were looking for in a 'dog sitter'. Honestly she feels more like a friend after this experience. She sent daily (and nightly) updates with pics and videos so I could see for myself just how happy our Benny was in her care. Benny's a really sweet dog but has MAJOR puppy energy and she was able to deal with it like a pro. And her boy Henry was just the sweetest. And when Benny got to be too much for him he had NO problem letting him know who was the king rooster in the house!!! hahaha I really can not recommend Joanna enough. So so grateful to have found her!!!”
“Brian was absolutely PHENOMENAL. He sent daily updates and pictures of our girls, not to mention he has 2 beautiful golden retrievers himself. I could not recommend Brian enough and will absolutely be using him as our default watcher moving forward!!! 5/5”
“Tina was absolutely awesome with our high-energy Goldendoodle Rusty. Rusty spent 5 days with Tina and family while we were away in Florida. She took excellent care of him - he loved racing around her yard, playing with her kids and being a new member of Tina’s family. The pictures she sent daily of Rusty proved that he was having just as an amazing vacation as we were!”
“Dolly is wonderful with my dog Roxy. She takes off a long walks football games and sends me regular pictures and updates. Doesn’t she remembers to give her her medicine Roxy comes back home happy and healthy.”
“Highly recommend Alexa! She has watched my pup Harley twice now— she is super responsive and sends daily updates/pics. Harley always comes home tired and happy from all the playtime”
“Emma is a wonderful dog sitter! Rosie had an excellent time at her house (made some new friends too) and I wouldn't hesitate to use her again and/or recommend her to anyone in need of her services. She kept me updated the perfect amount, and even offered some useful tips as she is a trainer as well. Thanks again for everything!”
