“Michelle has been fantastic. My dog is a rescue and often takes a bit of time to warm up to new people. Michelle was so patient with him and continues to provide the highest level of care for him. Michelle is very responsive and always communicates before and after the visit. I’d highly recommend Michelle to help care for your pets!”

“Melissa was great with our cat Luna. She followed our care instructions perfectly and provided us with daily updates. She even stayed extra long each visit! We'd definitely hire Melissa again in the future.”
“Kat took care of my K-9 Aqua who is a explosive detection canine (bomb dog) I needed to feel 100% confident for the care of my K-9 and Kat delivered. Kat gave the best care I could ask for. Kat was so professional and really took excellent care of Aqua. Very punctual and gave Aqua the extra care and love that she deserves. Kat takes her job very seriously and it shows in her performance . I am very pleased that I now have a professional taking care of my canine. I can now travel and not have to worry. Thanks so much to Kat and her family for making my life easier. Robert”

About: I feel comfortable attending dog of all ages and sizes. My experience in at vet clinic, provides me with confidence and knowledge in vet care allow me to respond in emergency responses with attention to detail. I work part time at a vet clinic, so I have freedom on Sunday-Wednesday. if true weekends are needed then I can request that time. I create boundaries with Owner and clients. Allow time to build trust rather than jumping into it with uncertainty. consistency shows respect on both sides.
About: Hi, I’ve had many dogs my whole entire life even puppies from Yorkshire terrier, miniature Doberman pinscher and Chihuahua. I was also a nanny/caretaker during college so have plenty of caregiving experience with transporting children. I have a small 10 pound Chihuahua. She gets along with any type of breed of dog as long as your dog does not bite. She is super friendly and loves to be around all the pets. I work in finance from home and have all day to pay attention / watch carefully and play with your dog while working and also relaxing. Since my small 10 pound Chihuahua is fairly small I prefer dogs less than 40 pounds if coming to my home. Some exceptions for a little bit over 40 lb. My dog does not bite or bark and loves to play all day with other dogs . If I come to your home I can do any dog greater than 100lb. I have a well-kept apartment with a nice balcony and a dog park located on site in my building complex with a beautiful walkable path and grass area to play.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I have rescued my dogs while traveling through South America since 2022 and have been taking care of them. The old one is 5 yrs old and the second one is 2yrs old. I work remotely so I spend all day with my dogs except for when I have to run errands. This is why I can fit drop visits and walks throughout the day since I work from home. I have a fenced backyard if dogs need to play outside but also if they need to stay in a crate I can help with that. I have experience with walking small- large dogs.
“Emily was absolutely wonderful with Brady! She was reliable, caring, and truly went above and beyond while watching him. She provided thoughtful updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Brady was happy, comfortable, and genuinely well cared for the entire time. Knowing he was treated with so much love and attention made all the difference. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and professional pet sitter.”
“Grace and her husband are simply amazing! They took care of my two cats like they were their own. I was out of the country for 6 weeks and my trip kept getting extended but Grace was very flexible and patient when it came to needing to book her for longer. They both went above and beyond and I will definitely be booking them again.”
“Delaney was amazing! She was so friendly, reliable, and clearly cares about animals. She kept me updated with photos and my cats warmed up to her so quickly. She even went the extra mile to clean their food mat and offered to take out our trash so the house wouldn’t smell when we got home. I came back to happy, relaxed pets and everything spotless. 10/10 would recommend — she’s the best!”
“Enis was great with Penny! He visited multiple times daily while I was away and kept in touch the whole time, sending pictures of each visit. It was clear from her pictures and our meet and greet that they got along great. He was really flexible as my plans changed and I’m so grateful. When we got home Penny was happy to see us, but she was also amazingly calm, which I take to indicate she wasn’t stressed because she felt safe and cared for. I’ll definitely look to Enis first when I need care for my girl.”
About: I been taking care of dogs since I was 10 when i got my first dog. I have had over 8 different types of dogs, different sizes. I adopted my best friend here Charlie during Covid. He loved playing outside and our fenced in yard or just sun bathing . I work from home so I take him on a long walk every day at noon and then he hangs out in the yard while I work or naps on my couch. Since I work from home my hours are flexible and I know Charlie would love a dog walking partner or just someone to play with while we’re home. So if you need a dog sitting or walker while you’re on work or vacation we love to help! I work from home and of course take care of my whole dog daily with dog walks , outside play time and treats and bell rubs I have a fenced yard so it’s easy to watch them and let them play outside . I also live in a two family home so they have plenty a room to play inside as well
About: 🐾 What Sets Me Apart I offer something most sitters can’t—true flexibility and consistent availability. I’m available evenings and weekends now, and once summer hits, I’m fully available every day, giving your pup reliable care without gaps or last-minute changes. I love building real connections with dogs, not just quick visits. Whether it’s a high-energy walk, playtime, or just keeping your dog company, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for like they’re my own. I’m dependable, patient, and detail-oriented—so you can trust that your dog’s routine, safety, and happiness always come first. I’m also happy to meet ahead of time so you and your pup feel completely comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m available for walks and visits during evenings and weekends right now, and I make sure to plan my schedule so each dog gets my full attention and care. During the summer, my routine becomes completely open, which allows me to provide consistent, flexible care throughout the day—whether that’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or longer visits. I enjoy staying active, so dog walking and spending time with pets is something I genuinely look forward to and prioritize in my day. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets feel right at home. In my apartment complex, we have access to a dog park, which is perfect for exercise, playtime, and socialization (if your dog enjoys being around others). I also have a very friendly and playful dog who loves the company of other dogs, which can be great for pets who enjoy having a buddy to play with. Inside my home, I keep a calm and structured space where pets can relax, stick to their routine, and feel secure. I make sure they get plenty of attention, play, and affection—while also respecting their individual needs and energy levels. Whether your dog loves being active or prefers to lounge, I adjust to what makes them happiest. I prioritize safety at all times, keep a close eye on all pets, follow feeding schedules, and carefully stick to any specific instructions you provide. Cleanliness, consistency, and communication are very important to me, so you’ll always feel confident your pet is in good hands.
About: I've been taking care of my sweet puppy Hazel for 9 years! When she was a baby, I potty trained her and taught her many fun tricks! Now that she's older, I look out for her emerging middle aged dog health concerns. As a pet sitter, I'll treat your babies with the same care I give my own! Pet sitting is my full-time summer job, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available during both week days and weekends! I am very adaptable to your individual needs for your pets and your home. Simply let me know of any specific requests and I'll easily be able to make it happen!
About: I’m a dog parent to 2 years old Corgi, so I know how important it is to trust someone with your pup. I have hands-on experience with crate training, leash walking, and keeping up with energetic dogs. I’m also patient and attentive with seniors or pets who need extra care. Your pet will be treated like family—because I wouldn’t settle for anything less either! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine since I work from home—and so does my husband! Our flexible schedules mean your pet will get plenty of attention, love, and timely care throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just some company, we’re around to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on comfort, safety, and keeping their routine consistent. At my home, dogs have plenty of space to play—including a fully fenced backyard where they can safely roam and get their energy out. Plus, they’ll have a friendly Corgi companion if they’re social! In a client’s home, I make sure to follow your pet’s routine closely, giving them the love and attention they’re used to.
Wood-Ridge dog parents share their Rover experiences
We had a great experience with the pet care service for our dog, Cola! Jinghong was very patient and caring with her, especially since Cola is an older dog and needs extra attention. We really appreciated the regular visits, feeding support, walks, and overall communication. It gave us peace of mind while we were away. Thank you for taking such good care of Cola — we truly appreciate it!
I cannot recommend Maxibel enough! She has been absolutely amazing with my dog!! She is so kind, caring, and attentive. My dog genuinely gets excited to see her, which gives me so much peace of mind whenever I’m away. She is always punctual, responsible, and incredibly reliable. One thing I especially appreciate is how consistent she is with updates and photos, which always reassures me that my dog is happy and well cared for. It’s clear she truly loves what she does and treats every pet like her own. I’m so grateful we found her!
Honest feedback here - I was a little hesitant in using Xavier as he was young without too many years of experience, but I was in a bind and my last two sitters flaked - I saw that he was rated as a star sitter though with great reviews, so moved forward here and I am so glad I did. His communication skills are above the charts. He is extremely responsive, communicates very well (seems to truly care about your pets and their needs) and was always great about texting updates and photos - Too boot, he was extremely accommodating as the drive was a bit far, but he knew I was in a bind and took the job without hesitation - Moreover, he was very punctual and came at the times I needed him too. I can't tell you how nice it was to come home after my trip to a home where it was very easy to see my babies were well looked after and taken care of - Lastly, he has very good energy and I felt good leaving my babies in his hands even though was a stranger -
Truly professional! Anastasiia and Ivan are absolutely amazing at what they do. This was my first time leaving Bella for longer than usual, and I’ll admit I was a bit nervous about having her stay at home with people she didn’t know. But after seeing their incredible reviews, I decided to trust them — and I’m so glad I did. They exceeded every expectation. They were detailed, followed all instructions perfectly, and most importantly, their communication was outstanding. They kept me updated on everything and always asked questions before making any decisions. They made me feel completely comfortable, and Bella was genuinely happy with them. One moment that really stood out: on their first day, after we had already left, Bella was feeling uneasy when they walked in. Ivan sat on the floor near her and patiently waited for her to approach him, creating a calm and safe environment for her. That level of care and understanding meant so much. They showed real affection and truly cared about Bella’s wellbeing. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and professional sitters for their furry family members.
While I was away, Tania took amazing care of my Doberman and Chihuahua. She was incredibly informative, kept me in the loop the entire time, and made being away from my dogs so much easier. She sent updates with pictures and videos, which was not only helpful but also super cute and reassuring.Both of my dogs were comfortable and clearly well cared for I could tell they were happy and relaxed with her. Tania treated them like her own and handled them with so much patience and love. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be reaching out to her again!
We had the pleasure of having Melissa care for our miniature poodle, Sabana, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. She was attentive, responsible, and genuinely caring throughout the entire time. Melissa listened to all of our personal requests and followed through on them perfectly—from playtime to potty breaks and everything in between. It was clear that she treated our puppy as if she were her own, and we truly appreciated her going above and beyond to ensure our pup felt comfortable, safe, and happy during her drop-ins. We would absolutely recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Don’t hesitate to request her—you’ll be glad you did!
