“Dana sent daily updates and clearly my dogs were comfortable and enjoying themselves especially her backyard which is entirely fenced in and very spacious. Would use Dana's service again.”
“Erica, again, took wonderful care of Sully. He comes home happy, tired from romping with his friends and no whining. He ate well, also. We will continue to use Erica’s sitting service whenever she is available. Thank you!”
“Sharon was so good to Cane. She sent me pictures daily and kept me up to date on him settling in. She walked him, brought him to the dog park to play and had a very comfortable deck to lay out on. I can tell Cane enjoyed his stay with her.”
“Absolutely pleased with Rolf’s care. From pictures we could see he was a happy dog. And he got to play outside in a child’s pool and a hosing! His favorite activity. He really didn’t want to come home!”
“Karissa is very caring and will love your dogs like her own for the time she has them. She sends pictures at least once a day so you know they’re doing well. My dog had a great weekend while I was away. Would book again if I need it! Thank you so much!”
“I was super nervous to leave Remy with a stranger for the 1st time, but as soon as I met Christina, I knew she was in good hands. Christina sent me so many pictures and updates of Remy having the best time playing in their amazing back yard, going on multiple (!!!) hikes, and snuggling with their sweet boy Frankie. If you have a dog with a lot of energy - look no further for the ultimate pet sitter! Christina, her husband, and their dog Frankie truly treated Remy like part of their family for the weekend, and I couldn’t be more thankful for finding them on Rover. If I could give Christina 100 stars, I would! Remy and I are both looking forward to her next stay at their home!”
“Suzanne and her family were absolutely wonderful with Archie. He suffers from separation anxiety when first meeting new people but Suzanne made sure he felt at home in no time. He got a lot of play time and car rides too! Suzanne sent us photos and provided great updates. When we arrived to collect him he was so happy and relaxed and ran back to her kids to say goodby a couple of times. He was a happy dog and I know he will love to go back. Her location is perfect for our random trips to Uncasville and Rhode Island, and Suzanne will be our "go-to first choice for sitter for any future trips!”
“Natalia was great about sending pictures and videos of my dog while I was away. It was our first time leaving her and she helped put my mind at ease, and it made my kids happy to know their dog was well taken care of!”
“Karen and Chris were fantastic! They are such a nice family that took excellent care of our pup. They were great with communication and pictures. I knew our dog was safe and loved! Highly recommend!!!”
“Elizabeth and her family were wonderful with Sully! He received the best care with them. Elizabeth also sent lots of photo updates and kept us appraised of how he was doing while we were away. We would absolutely have Sully stay with Elizabeth again!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Armitage. They take such amazing care of Kharma every single time. Even when Kharma had to stay really late, they were incredibly accommodating and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of the entire time. It truly gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. At this point, Armitage is the first sitter I call every time without hesitation. I honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else with Kharma. The level of care, consistency, and genuine love they show means everything to me.”
“Can’t say enough great things about these guys. All the reviews are correct! Chris and Whitney are genuine, caring, and great communicators. And most importantly, sincere dog lovers. They sent daily updates on our 5 days away from our pup. They went above and beyond to help figure out drop off and pick up arrangements. And they just made the whole process of going away and trusting someone else to watch your fur baby a very happy and comfortable experience. Our pup had a blast, and she is an anxious rescue. She settled right in and was welcomed warmly. From the meet and greet until the time we got her back, you could just tell these guys were genuinely caring and loving humans. And it showed in their care and services. HIGHLY recommend Chris and Whitney. Amazing services, and they made our time away without our pup a very eased and comfortable experience. Thanks guys!!!”
“Yunshu took great care of our pup and would 100% recommend. She sent lots of picture and video updates ensuring us that Butter was settled and being loved on. Intend to rebook at the next opportunity.”
“Our dog, Noddle, is a cherished member of our family; Patricia treated him the same way. From the initial meeting, Patricia's genuine love of and experience with a variety of animals was obvious. Noodle took to her right away. From the photos including walks on the beach and playtime in addition to the messages she regularly sent us, we could tell that he was happy and pampered. We feel completely comfortable and enthusiastic recommending Patricia and will engage her again. She is great. Lucky Noodle. Lucky us.”
“We are new to Rover. Our experience with Leanne was excellent. She has a calming personality which is great as my fur baby tends to be anxious. We had a meet and greet prior to booking. Booking was easy and communication was great. We received updates and photos throughout our stay. Definitely would recommend Rover and Leanne.”
“Jessica is a true dog lover. There should be absolutely no worries with leaving your dog with her. Abu is precious as could be. Very detail oriented to make sure taken care of per your instructions with the utmost care. On top of making sure your dog cones first - toys, walks, food amd etc. No hesitations and will be booking again and considering Jessica my dogs go to sitter handsdown. It can be hard to find someone you trust like Jessica.”
“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.”

About: I’ve had cats my entire life, so caring for them comes very naturally to me. They’ve always been one of my favorite animals, and I love getting to know each cat’s unique personality. Whether it’s playing, cuddling, or simply keeping them company, I truly enjoy spending quality time with every kitty and making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for.
“I was very confident that Megan would be great. She lives nearby and has great reviews. She came over for orientation and meet-and-great a few days before. Cats loved her and she gave them lots of attention. Thank you Megan!”
“Emily looked after our two fur babies for a week while we were out of state. I was initially worried about how they would cope with us being away for an extended period but Emily made sure to ask about their habits to best understand their routines. While we were away, Emily kept me fully up to date and also sent over lots of great photos. Emily worked her magic to win them over and by the end of the week they were in love. Emily is a fantastic cat sitter who kept them well fed and entertained while easing my guilt for leaving them. I returned home to two content cats and their litter box was clean and tidy. I definitely recommend Emily’s services, she's a true cat whisperer.”
About: I’ve taken care of many cats, and co owned a kitten with a past roomate and helped train her. I make a point to feed on time and clean litter boxes daily. I love nothing more than playing with playful cats, or simply coexisting with cats who prefer their space.

I’m currently available on Friday's but hoping to be available Monday to Friday. I’m currently working but looking to making walking a full time job. I make sure each dog I visit has a good walk and does their business. Seeing they have enough water before I go or if they need breakfast or lunch. I give them lots of cuddles and go by their pace on what they need.
“We used Rover to find Mike to feed our cat while we were on vacation for a week. He was very thorough and kept us updated the whole time. He was very trustworthy and detail oriented. I would highly recommend Mike for pet care.”
“Claire! Took great care of turbo during our vacation. Given that he is a senior cat, needs medication and had accidents. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring person for their pets when they are away.”
About: I’ve been working with and caring for animals my entire life.

I am also comforable with administering medications and working with all personality traits.

“Sara was great! My dog Merlin warmed up to her right away. She was on time with her visits, took great care of my pup and even sent pictures while I was away to show me how happy he was. I will definitely use her again and I would highly recommend her!!”
“Sarah has quickly become my “go-to” cat sitter! She is incredibly polite, professional, and kind. My two boys can be very shy and I felt good that Sarah has so much experience with cats so she knows how to interact with them. I think her visits will help them come out of their shells more! The house is always tidy and just as I left it when I return home. Highly recommend Sarah for all your kitty-care 😸”
About: I have cared for cats my entire life, growing up with cats and adopting in my adult life. I understand their independent yet sensitive nature. I’m patient and attentive, allowing shy cats the space they need while still offering gentle affection and engagement. I am comfortable administering basic medications if needed and pay close attention to eating habits and behavior changes. What sets me apart is my thoroughness, especially in litter care. I believe a clean litter box is essential for a cat’s comfort and health, and I take pride in keeping their spaces fresh and tidy. Most of all, I treat every cat with calm respect, creating a peaceful environment where they feel safe and cared for.
About: I have always had neighbors, friends, and family rely on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets when they are unable to. I always seek out any opportunity to meet new furry friends, such as volunteering at the local humane society and joining the Rover community. I am out of college for the summer, so my days are mostly available. I do have an obligation on Tuesdays and Wednesdays that takes up the morning and afternoon of those days. I do not have a fenced in yard, but the yard that I do have is a very open area that can be roamed around, on-leash of course. I have a furry friend of my own that would love to keep your fur baby company. I don’t mind accommodating to the individual needs of your fur baby, such as following a specific diet, crating them, etc. I can promise you that I’d treat your fur baby as if it was my own!

“Margo watched Finn during the day when I had to go back to work. She had no problem accepting the challenge of caring for a young puppy and has many years of experience raising dogs of her own. Finn got along really well with her two dogs and was always excited to go to Margo's house when I dropped him off in the morning. My mind was at ease during the work day knowing that he was in excellent care. She sent pictures and updates of them going on walks together, playing in the yard with her dogs, and working on some of his training. If we ever go away on a trip, I will definitely use Margo to care for Finn again! She truly loves what she does and cares deeply for all her clients' pups.”

“Maple had been with us for only 3 weeks and it was the first time leaving her for an afternoon. We now believe that she'd like to know when we're planning to go away again (so she can go back to Sharon's house). It worked out very very well. Sharon is calm and more than competent.”
“Connie was very attentive to Spring's need and took care of her nicely! Spring and Appollo played all day and Spring is now exhausted! Looking forward to using Connie for another doggie day care in future!!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Sue! She was so incredibly accommodating and patient with my dog. My dog, Sadie, was uncharacteristically anxious and scared on our vacation. She was having a really hard time separating from me at all. Sue took the time to get her acclimated with the new environment and allowed me into her home to give Sadie time to adjust and get comfortable. She played calming music for Sadie and gave her her favorite treat- peanut butter. By the time we picked Sadie up, she was very happy and more back to herself. Sue gave Sadie so much love and attention the whole time I was at the aquarium. I was able to have a good time, knowing my dog was in good hands. Sue kept me updated on Sadie’s progress with texts, pictures and videos. I am so very grateful and would recommend Sue to anyone seeking a great pet sitter!”

Our pup took to her right away and was thrilled to see her when she returned for a subsequent visit.

About: I am very sensitive about dogs feeling and mood. And I have many experiences that they can read my thoughts. So always try to do my best to treat them sincerely. I am stay at home mom and have a dog called Rhody. The most important thing for me when it comes to caring for a dog is to be trusted by the dog, and to make it feel secure where it stays. I always try to communicate through the eye contact with them or their gestures. And I make a schedule so that I can take a walk in the sun for about an hour a day in addition to their bathroom time. Because regular exercise and sunbathing help dogs feel bright and their mind and body function smoothly. Clients can customize schedules for their dogs to me, and I won't deviate from his routine as much as possible. I always fill your dog with leashes and go for a walk, but if they meet me several times and have a solid relationship, I also take them to the dog park. If they need to release their energy. A scaredy or old dog can make my family have a blast at home.

About: I've had pets of all types from Agway to Petco and beyond since I was 12 years old. My bond seems to be the strongest with dogs, but some say I have a gift with all animals. I recently cared for my best friend Salty for 16 years, and he would want me to share my lessons learned with other deserving pups! I work only part time, remote and in the office. My schedule is very flexible and I love to be outside in any weather. I am focused on dogs, but if you have some other unique friend, I'm willing to discuss options so not pet is left behind!

My dogs are my best friends. I always show love and respect towards them. I also understand how a dog's life can be boring sometimes.

“I was super nervous to leave Remy with a stranger for the 1st time, but as soon as I met Christina, I knew she was in good hands. Christina sent me so many pictures and updates of Remy having the best time playing in their amazing back yard, going on multiple (!!!) hikes, and snuggling with their sweet boy Frankie. If you have a dog with a lot of energy - look no further for the ultimate pet sitter! Christina, her husband, and their dog Frankie truly treated Remy like part of their family for the weekend, and I couldn’t be more thankful for finding them on Rover. If I could give Christina 100 stars, I would! Remy and I are both looking forward to her next stay at their home!”
“Suzanne and her family were absolutely wonderful with Archie. He suffers from separation anxiety when first meeting new people but Suzanne made sure he felt at home in no time. He got a lot of play time and car rides too! Suzanne sent us photos and provided great updates. When we arrived to collect him he was so happy and relaxed and ran back to her kids to say goodby a couple of times. He was a happy dog and I know he will love to go back. Her location is perfect for our random trips to Uncasville and Rhode Island, and Suzanne will be our "go-to first choice for sitter for any future trips!”
“Natalia was great about sending pictures and videos of my dog while I was away. It was our first time leaving her and she helped put my mind at ease, and it made my kids happy to know their dog was well taken care of!”
“Karen and Chris were fantastic! They are such a nice family that took excellent care of our pup. They were great with communication and pictures. I knew our dog was safe and loved! Highly recommend!!!”
“Elizabeth and her family were wonderful with Sully! He received the best care with them. Elizabeth also sent lots of photo updates and kept us appraised of how he was doing while we were away. We would absolutely have Sully stay with Elizabeth again!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Armitage. They take such amazing care of Kharma every single time. Even when Kharma had to stay really late, they were incredibly accommodating and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of the entire time. It truly gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. At this point, Armitage is the first sitter I call every time without hesitation. I honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else with Kharma. The level of care, consistency, and genuine love they show means everything to me.”
“Can’t say enough great things about these guys. All the reviews are correct! Chris and Whitney are genuine, caring, and great communicators. And most importantly, sincere dog lovers. They sent daily updates on our 5 days away from our pup. They went above and beyond to help figure out drop off and pick up arrangements. And they just made the whole process of going away and trusting someone else to watch your fur baby a very happy and comfortable experience. Our pup had a blast, and she is an anxious rescue. She settled right in and was welcomed warmly. From the meet and greet until the time we got her back, you could just tell these guys were genuinely caring and loving humans. And it showed in their care and services. HIGHLY recommend Chris and Whitney. Amazing services, and they made our time away without our pup a very eased and comfortable experience. Thanks guys!!!”
“I brought my beloved Pomeranian Samara to Zoe this week. She spent two nights and when I picked her up she was happy and very tired from all her playing with another little dog. Zoe has a fenced back yard and Samara was free to run unleashed and enjoying zoomies. Zoe kept me updated with photos throughout the stay. I felt so grateful for Zoe's outstanding and kind care. I will definitely trust her again.”
“It is a treat to know that I do not have to worry about my Emmitt when I have to go out of town! This was not the first time Kim has looked after him, but it is the first time since she built the dog park next to the house. Emmitt had a blast running and playing with his new friends - the pictures she sent of him out there completely put my mind at ease. I will continue to board with Kim when I have the chance.”
“David was absolutely wonderful with Merci and Dolce. I really appreciated the videos and updates he sent—it made being away so much easier and gave me total peace of mind. It was clear they were having an amazing time, and honestly, I think they may have enjoyed being at his house even more than mine! He was incredibly accommodating, attentive, and genuinely caring. It’s such a relief to find someone you can fully trust with your pets, and I truly can’t say enough good things about him. I would highly recommend David to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter.”
“Super accommodating with the short notice booking I requested! Steph is bright and friendly. She let me know if there were any issues with my pup. Would book with her again!”
“Kimberly was beyond awesome! We needed a pet sitter for the day of our wedding and she was so communicative and flexible with us! Our dog had an absolute blast and she was great with sending pictures. Thank you so much!”
“Caley had a rough start to the week. She's getting older, and requires more attention. Celina kept us in the loop, but we thought we might have to come home. We and Celina came up with a plan that allowed us to stay on vacation, and Celina handled Caley like a pro! We appreciate that so much! Sorry for the sleepless nights.”
