“Britanny made sure my dog Riley got LOTS of love and attention. She sent daily updates with pictures that showed what a good time Riley was having. I definitely recommend her!”
“Thank you for taking such good care of Dash!! This is the longest he has been away from the family and our home and you exceeded our expectations with love, care and regular updates and communication. Thanks again and look forward to returning soon!!!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our pup. Maria sent tons of photos and kept us updated throughout the stay. We had our original booking cancel within 24 hours and Maria did not hesitate to step in and care for our pup. We will absolutely be using Maria again.”
“Gigi had a fabulous time staying with Ariel, as evidenced by the photos of her racing around with a few of her new best dog friends that Ariel sent us each day of our six-day trip. From her description of her property, Ariel's accommodations stood out, with its big, fenced backyard and in-the-house living for dog guests. Although leash walks were an additional option, we knew Gigi would want to run and play. She came fitter, sleeker, and a happy dog. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Howard was so wonderful with our two girls! We used to use a local kennel and after the last few stays, we could tell our girls were not happy - finding Howard gave us the peace of mind that they could stay at home in an environment which they were comfortable with and felt safe. Knowing we were nervous with our first go at this, Howard sent plenty of updates and pictures to put mom & dad at ease. We are already rebooking him for our next trip and highly recommend him for others in the Westville area!!”
“Noemi and Dave did an incredible job pet sitting my two elderly dogs. One of my dogs can be a bit shy and anxious but he felt right at home with Noemi and Dave.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats (and chickens, goats, sheep, and pigs!) since I was a teenager. Neighbors and friends often call upon me when they go out of town. I have experience house training puppies, and administering medicine to elderly pets. I work from home Monday and Friday and I am available on weekends. I work 9-5 in an office Tuesday-Thursday, so I’m available before and after work to care for your pets. I offer a lot of attention to your pets. I love to play and match their energy, as well as administer whatever needs they may have!
“Gabriel and his German shepherd Boomer were very welcoming to our Bernese Mountain Dog Milo. The dogs hit it off instantly. And Gabriel had prepared for his visit very well. He had a runner set up on his beautiful, very spacious property. His indoor space for the dogs was great; large and free and clear of anything Milo could get into. Gabriel sent updates and even asked if could put something on his dry nose, which was very nice. I felt very at ease leaving Milo with Gabriel and will 100% reach out to him for any future needs.”
“Vanessa exceeded all expectations. I'm very nervous leaving my dog with anyone because she's very old and blind so requires a delicate touch- Vanessa provided that and more. Thank you so much Vanessa for taking such good care of my baby.”
“Abigail was very attentive to Tootsie and even brought in extra family members to make Tootsie feel at home, providing much needed love & attention. We were kept apprised with many updates and photos, which were greatly appreciated. we highly recommend Abigail and she will be our 1st choice for future pet sittings.”
“Ashley-Ann is a dream! My senior dog absolutely loved her and her gorgeous house. He's been there twice now and the second time he was very excited when we arrived. She's responsive and accommodating with arrival and drop-offs times and gave me updates throughout his stay. She really treated my pup as if he were her own. This was the best Rover experience I've ever had and will definitely be using her again.”

The approach to caring for pets can vary depending on whether I am providing services in my own home or at a client's home. Here's a breakdown of how I prioritize safety, trust, and create a suitable environment in each scenario: Caring for Pets in My Home: 1. Safety Measures: I ensure that my home is a safe environment for pets by removing any potential hazards, securing dangerous areas, and keeping toxic substances out of reach. I also have a secure and pet-friendly space where the dogs can play and rest comfortably. 2. Trust Building: I establish a bond of trust with the pets by providing a warm and welcoming environment. I create a routine that aligns with their needs, including regular feeding schedules, exercise routines, and playtime. This consistency helps them feel secure and develop trust in their surroundings. 3. Communication with Owners: I maintain open and transparent communication with pet owners, sharing updates, photos, and addressing any concerns promptly. I make sure to follow their instructions regarding diet, medication, and any specific care requirements. Caring for Pets in Client's Home: 1. Familiarizing with the Environment: Before caring for a pet in their home, I take the time to familiarize myself with the layout, pet supplies, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. This helps create a seamless transition for the pet and ensures their comfort in their familiar surroundings. 2. Maintaining a Routine: I adhere to the pet's regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any established habits. This consistency reduces stress and helps the pet feel secure and at ease in their own home. 3. Safety and Security: I prioritize the safety and security of the pet by ensuring doors, windows, and any potential escape routes are secured. I also maintain a close eye on the pet during walks or outdoor activities, taking extra precautions to avoid any potential dangers or hazards. 4. Respect for the Home: I treat the client's home with utmost respect, keeping it clean and tidy. I follow any specific instructions regarding house rules, access to certain areas, and any other guidelines provided by the owner. In both scenarios, I always prioritize the well-being and happiness of the pets under my care. Building trust, maintaining open communication, and providing a safe and comfortable environment are integral to my approach, regardless of whether I am caring for pets in my home or at a client's home.

Wallingford dog parents share their Rover experiences
Jenna and her family were there for us and our two giant dogs when we needed someone the most to care for them. After a fire displaced us all the dogs went from the animal shelter, to a kennel, then to Jenna’s house. It was here that they finally felt the sense of “home”. Jenna communicated with us often, daily. She gave them experiences to socialize them more and they’ve only were able to thrive under her care. To know the dogs were loved and cared for as much as we do helped us through this difficult time. I highly recommend Jenna and will absolutely have her take care of our fur babies again.
