“Benjamin was fantastic with my 2 elder dogs for the week that he had them. He sent me pictures and kept me updated on how they were doing which made me feel so much better about leaving them while I was on vacation. My dogs have never stayed with anyone other than family, and I'm so pleased with how Benjamin was with them. I've already highly recommended him and Rover to friends and will continue to do so!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats and small animals since I was a child. Cats are my favorite! I’m comfortable caring for multiple animals from a single household. Got a dog and a cat? Or 2 cats? I would love to watch them! I work from home and have time to spend with your babies while you’re gone! I also have a small dog and a cat (both male & neutered) who are well socialized, trained, and calm personalities. If your baby wants to play, they’ll have a buddy! If not, they’ll have a quiet room to rest. If you board a dog with me, I’ll walk them and exercise them daily with my dog Rocky (he loves having friends visit!). I have a guest room set up to host pets so they have a quiet space to rest. If you board with me, your pet will be welcome in the common area, but if they want their space, they’ll have it! I also have a fenced in yard and access to a local dog park. I want your babies to feel safe and happy while they’re here.
“Our dog was treated like she was part of their family. We received lots updates and pics of how she was doing. Lots of walks and love. When we picked her up to go home, our dog was happy and relaxed, not stressed out and exhausted; it was obvious she was well cared for.”
“Both of my "old men" greatly enjoyed their short stay with Nicole. This was their first time with her and she was wonderful. She sent pictures and was quick to answer texts. Looking forward to letting my "old men" stay in October!”
“This was our first time using rover or really leaving our 2 labs with anyone. They are very high energy, and she and her sons took great care of my boys! I got lots of updates & pictures throughout & will definitely book again!”
“Christie has been nothing less than absolutely wonderful! She was able to accommodate a last minute change that added an additional four days to our pups’ stay at her home. She’s simply the best and we 100% will utilize her services again ❤️❤️❤️”
“Stacy was very communicative and my family loved getting pictures of our dog every day while we were on vacation. Stella was well cared for and enjoyed having other dogs and loving humans to play with.”
“My girl had a great experience. We had a great meet and greet and communication leading up to the stay was excellent. I was very nervous leaving Aly partly because she’s a year old and “mostly a good puppy” and I didn’t want her to be a problem. Also have never left any of my dogs with someone I didn’t know. Mikaelan was wonderful about responding to all of my “How is she?” texts with updates and photos which gave me so much peace of mind. By day 2 I was able to relax and I still received daily reports about Aly’s adventures with her temporary humans and new BFFs. Aly came home happy and tired. I really appreciated the care and communication”
“Cherry was wonderful with our Roscoe! She was available last minute and spoiled us (and him!) with walks and snuggles and we got tons of photos during his stay! Will absolutely book again when the need arises!”
“Taylor is AWESOME!! He took amazing care of my big girl Hannah while I was out of town, always updating me and me sending pictures! From our initial meeting with him before bringing Hannah by, I knew he was the one for her. His caring and gentle ways and experience with large dogs made this the perfect match. I will definitely book with him again!”
“I had an amazing experience with this sitter! They took excellent care of my dog while I was out of town and kept me updated the entire time. I really appreciated the pictures and check-ins, it gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing my dog was happy, comfortable, and in great hands. You can tell they truly care about the pets they watch. I’ll definitely be booking with them again! Highly recommend. 🐾”
“Ben & Shannon were great with Khloe! Their family was very comforting to her and made sure to make her feel at home. They were very communicative about how Khloe was doing and sent pictures daily. We really appreciate how well they took care of our doggo and we will definitely book with them again!”
About: Had a dog growing up; cat for 6 years of my adult life Got into pet sitting for a family with 2 dogs, 3 cats — really enjoyed being active with their dogs and spending time with their pets when needed. I work full time from roughly 8:30-5:00pm I work remote at my home 2-3x a week My hobbies include being active running/walking; so what a perfect way to also spend time with animals as well. Love to travel so schedule can vary. Fenced yard with outdoor grass area. I live near the oceanfront, so I love to be active and walk around my neighborhood and or boardwalk.
“Cynthia and her family were amazing with Ollie! They have a lovely home with a great backyard for him to explore. Cynthia kept us updated throughout the day with thoughtful notes and photos, which I really appreciated. It’s been a long time since we’ve had a new sitter, and that first experience can be a little nerve racking. We could tell how happy Ollie was in her care and how much he enjoyed being around her wonderful family.”
“Kristyna took such good care of Winkie. I was out of the country while she had a few vet appointments scheduled. Kristyna took her to her appointments, administered her medicine and kept her safe and comfortable during her stay. She kept me updated morning and night with pictures, I didn’t even have to ask. I will definitely be booking her again!”
“Chris was great from the start. He's very responsive and he is punctual. We appreciated Chris' willingness to meet Archie prior to a long, holiday boarding with him. Archie immediately liked Chris' calm nature and started exploring his space. While Chris was watching Archie, he was quick to let us know how he was doing anytime we asked. Archie even got to share some time with Chris' extended family and got lots of attention from the kids. When we picked up Archie, he was very excited and wanted all of us to back inside his house so we could all hang out. Thank you for taking such good care of Archie!”
“Everest loves Janelle! She’s awesome, I love that she really involved my doggie in her family life. Her kids are also great with dogs. I’m so lucky to have found her near me!”
“Finding a good sitter who meets the needs of our dog has been hard, but Chelsea checks ALL of the boxes. She communicated with us every day and often sent pictures. I was able to truly relax on our vacation knowing our pup was in good hands. Thank you, Chelsea, and we will definitely book with you again for our future travels.”

“Megan did an amazing job taking care of my cat! I loved all the videos and photos and I can tell he had a ton of fun with her. Megan even washed my rugs when the poor kitty got locked out of his box. I really appreciated the care and affection she showed my little guy while I was away.”
“Absolutely fantastic! She kept my daughter involved and up to date since I was out of the country. Great attention to detail and all the wants and needs of my baby! This was my first time with Briana and it was a long term, a full month, commitment. I am very pleased with her.”
“Ashley was amazing. My rather shy kitty warmed up to her quickly. She dependably stopped by to feed my spoiled boy twice a day. She played with him and made sure he got his favorite treats. I’ll definitely trust Ashley to take care of my old boy again!!! 💕😻”
“Jamie was great! I requested her help during a holiday with short notice, and she fulfilled all the needs that my (high maintenance) cat needed. I will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Tara was super helpful and available to us last second! Had patience with our little old man and gave him lots of belly rubs! Thank you again for being awesome!”

“Discovered Laura and her helpful daughter on a last minute trip. They were great with Roxie and provided excellent communication on the drop in visits.”
“Ashlee was awesome! We needed someone last minute and over Thanksgiving no less. She took great care of our two cats and even came a couple extra times when we were worried one of our cats wasn’t feeling well.”
About: Since adopting my first cat at age 8, there has not been a time in my life where I have not had the blessing of having my own cat(s) as my best friends. Although I try to be unbiased, I would absolutely consider myself a cat person and enjoy spending time with each one that I get to meet.

With my experience caring for cats of all breeds, ages, and needs, I would be a purrrfect sitter for your fur baby.

“Thank you Wendy for taking such good care of our little fur baby! The communication was very nice and easy. We feel that our sunny was in perfect hands and received so much attention and care. We would choose Wendy anytime again in the future . THANK YOU!”
“I can't say enough good things about Dustin. I met him this morning when I dropped off Blaze, my 4 month old lab. We spent a good amount of time talking as my boy was introduced do some of the other dogs. He answered all my questions, gave me plenty of tips & suggestions for specific situations and things I had planned for the future. He really put me at ease which is saying a lot because I don't have a ton of dog experience. When I picked Blaze up this afternoon Dustin showed me a few videos he took, we talked a bit more about puppies in general, etc - I could go on and on. Suffice it to say it's clear he enjoys working with our furry friends, he's really good at it, and I intend to bring Blaze for more visits soon, maybe some training too.”
“Landon was great with Murphy! Very responsive and friendly. It was super easy to make arrangements for drop off and pick up. Definitely recommend and will use again.”
“Words can't describe how awesome my experience was putting the care of my puppy in Zack's hands. As soon as I drop them off, he felt so at home,and it was clear to see that my puppy will be in good hands!! When picking him up, he was in a great mood! I brought him home, and he fell as straight to sleep. Zach's dogs played so well with Carmelo, and I look forward to setting up another time for him to spend the day with them! I look forward to the next play date Zach's house with his dogs, and I recommend anyone ,who wants their dog to be in great hands to choose him as a handler.”
“Linda treated Charlotte with tlc. Charlotte felt right at home and had a great time!! Highly recommend and will definitely take Charlotte to Linda again. Thank you very much for taking such awesome care of Charlotte.”

About: I've been an animal lover and owner of cats and dogs my whole life.

About: I have loved & cared for animals my entire life! I have always had dogs myself, including high energy pups. With a Bachelor of Science in Biology, I have experience in fields such as animal behavior, veterinary medical terminiology. Overall, my background provides me with knowledge in preventative healthcare practices, as well as compassion & love towards animals for as long as I can remember.

I'm used to a fenced in yard when letting dogs out to go to the bathroom, but I also have experience taking outside on the leash in apartment complexes, condos, and other living areas. I'm well versed in feeding dogs, and the many different applications owners use. I can ensure paws are wiped clean if need be. One of my pups is an eczema girl, so I can apply creams or moisturizing sticks to sensitive areas and paw pads also - if needed! I have some dog training experience (and will be working to gain more), so I can help enforce specific rules or training tactics that have already been introduced to your pup, in order to help form the habit! With my medical background, I can administer medication.

“I did not worry once about my pets when I was away! Rhonda ans Brian are top notch! My pets loved them! They went beyond what they had to do! I will be booking again!”
“Ive left a review before, but I have to again. This girl is the best dog walker out there! She’s always on time, always walks him our agreed upon distance/time if weather permits, and, if the weather’s bad, she will still spend time and play with my dog inside. She’s super reliable and good with communication! She tells you in advance when she’ll be out of town and she doesn’t mind last minute booking. Also, when she walked my boyfriend’s dog when he was out of town, he didn’t poop and there was no one else to come over later that night to take him out again so she offered to do it for free (oh and that was on Christmas!). If you need a good walker, use her!”

“Ashely is genuinely so great, she always takes the cutest pics i’m so obsessed and has helped me out last minute a few times. Highly recommended, the other week she helped out and my grandfather was telling the dog she couldn’t leave, Ashley thought he was talking to her and offered to help him out. I was crying laughing when he told me but she’s a sweetheart!”
“Briana was absolutely incredible with Milo and Hera this weekend! From meet and greet, I knew they were in great hands. Her communication was flawless—she kept us updated with photos and check-ins the entire time, which really let us relax and enjoy our trip. It’s clear she truly loves animals. We will definitely be booking with Briana again!”
“I am in the military so long days are inevitable. Mary was very helpful and flexible to my constantly changing schedule. I am tremendously grateful. It’s is noticeable how much Chewie enjoys walking with Mary with the way he greats her.”
About: I volunteered at a local vet clinic through high-school and college so I'm familiar with basic pet care. I've worked with large and small breeds and enjoy pets of all kinds! I'm even down with spiders, I just wont take them for walkies. I'm an elementary school teacher, so I'm free after 3 on weekdays. I'm off on the weekend and when public schools are closed. Let's play! I'm not nosey, or judgemental. Life be lifing sometimes- I don't care if your house is spotless and don't expect it to be. I've got two kids, two dogs and a husband- my house looks like it! I've never met a pet I didn't immediately want to play with and take care of, and pets tend to feel the same way about me.

“Benjamin was fantastic with my 2 elder dogs for the week that he had them. He sent me pictures and kept me updated on how they were doing which made me feel so much better about leaving them while I was on vacation. My dogs have never stayed with anyone other than family, and I'm so pleased with how Benjamin was with them. I've already highly recommended him and Rover to friends and will continue to do so!”
“I cannot recommend Nina enough! From the moment I left my dog in her care, I felt completely at ease. She provided regular updates, sent plenty of pictures, and made sure I always knew how my pups were doing. I will absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Both of my "old men" greatly enjoyed their short stay with Nicole. This was their first time with her and she was wonderful. She sent pictures and was quick to answer texts. Looking forward to letting my "old men" stay in October!”
“This was our first time using rover or really leaving our 2 labs with anyone. They are very high energy, and she and her sons took great care of my boys! I got lots of updates & pictures throughout & will definitely book again!”
“Stacy was very communicative and my family loved getting pictures of our dog every day while we were on vacation. Stella was well cared for and enjoyed having other dogs and loving humans to play with.”
“My girl had a great experience. We had a great meet and greet and communication leading up to the stay was excellent. I was very nervous leaving Aly partly because she’s a year old and “mostly a good puppy” and I didn’t want her to be a problem. Also have never left any of my dogs with someone I didn’t know. Mikaelan was wonderful about responding to all of my “How is she?” texts with updates and photos which gave me so much peace of mind. By day 2 I was able to relax and I still received daily reports about Aly’s adventures with her temporary humans and new BFFs. Aly came home happy and tired. I really appreciated the care and communication”
“Wowww! Hannah took such great care of our pups. She spoiled them with beach walks, fetch, and salmon skin (which she got our permission for in advance). She was super communicative and we felt confident they were safe and loved the whole trip. Thanks, Hannah! 🫶🫶🐶🐶🦴🦴🐾🐾”
“Taylor is AWESOME!! He took amazing care of my big girl Hannah while I was out of town, always updating me and me sending pictures! From our initial meeting with him before bringing Hannah by, I knew he was the one for her. His caring and gentle ways and experience with large dogs made this the perfect match. I will definitely book with him again!”
“Linda was so sweet to my first baby and even offered to let him sleep in her bed which is so sweet! She sent me constant pictures and updates which I loved. Her backyard is perfect for dogs. Thank you Linda ?”
“Wendy was awesome taking care of our pup on short notice! She was very accommodating to our schedule and made logistics easy. It was clear Ollie felt right at home. Highly recommend!”

I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, and playtime throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins, daycare, and boarding, and I always try to keep pets on their normal routine as much as possible. ⭐️ A meet and greet is required before hosting pets for boarding or Daycare 🏡 🐾 ⭐️ Healthy snacks and treats are provided for pups when they stay with us upon pet parents approval 🥕 🫐 🍓 🫑 🥒 I provide a clean, safe, and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure.

“Lisa took exceptional care of my dog. He was very happy while in her care. I got regular updates of how he was doing through the week which were much appreciated. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Kristyna took such good care of Winkie. I was out of the country while she had a few vet appointments scheduled. Kristyna took her to her appointments, administered her medicine and kept her safe and comfortable during her stay. She kept me updated morning and night with pictures, I didn’t even have to ask. I will definitely be booking her again!”
“Chris was great from the start. He's very responsive and he is punctual. We appreciated Chris' willingness to meet Archie prior to a long, holiday boarding with him. Archie immediately liked Chris' calm nature and started exploring his space. While Chris was watching Archie, he was quick to let us know how he was doing anytime we asked. Archie even got to share some time with Chris' extended family and got lots of attention from the kids. When we picked up Archie, he was very excited and wanted all of us to back inside his house so we could all hang out. Thank you for taking such good care of Archie!”
“Everest loves Janelle! She’s awesome, I love that she really involved my doggie in her family life. Her kids are also great with dogs. I’m so lucky to have found her near me!”
“Finding a good sitter who meets the needs of our dog has been hard, but Chelsea checks ALL of the boxes. She communicated with us every day and often sent pictures. I was able to truly relax on our vacation knowing our pup was in good hands. Thank you, Chelsea, and we will definitely book with you again for our future travels.”
