“Matthew and his family were great hosts to our Welsh Terrier Winnie. She is an active dog with a lot of attitude. With their two dogs Henry and Jacks they were able to keep her running, walking, and content. We know our dog had a great time when she comes home spent, worn out, and sleeping for two days. Matthew sent pictures each day and Winnie had a blast. Two thumbs up and we will gladly use Matthew again..if he'll let our 17lb beast back in their home!”


“Lauren was amazing! We felt so safe having her watch our Luna girl. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”


“Alba was amazing! She took care of Tory so well, and Tory loved her. Everyday she would send me pictures of Tory with cute little outfits or cuddled up - I could tell how happy my baby was. It was the first time I had Alba babysit but definitely won’t be the last!”


“Linda was wonderful and watched our 1 year old dog while we vacationed for the week. She took the time to send plenty of photos and took our dog on many fun walks around the neighborhood each day! Our dog was a rescue and tends to be very nervous and cautious in new situations. Linda took extra care to make sure he was happy and comfortable each day. I highly recommend booking with Linda!”


“Buttercup had a great experience while boarding here. She was spoiled. Got plenty of photos and communication. She will be back. Thank you (:”


About: What sets me apart? I’ve been fostering puppies for years and have two dogs of my own (7 & 4 years old) who are my world. Your pup will be loved like family! A little about me… I’m a stay-at-home mom of 3, and during the pandemic, I began volunteering with a local dog rescue and I still do to this day! I also had the chance to foster several wonderful pups during that time. Dogs have always been a part of my life, but it was when I got my sweet Lulu (who’s now 7 years old!) that I truly fell in love with learning about training, structure, and creating a happy, balanced environment for dogs. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. With a secure fenced yard, years of fostering experience, and two friendly resident pups, your furry friend will feel right at home, loved, safe, and cared for. 🐾❤️

“Nicolena was great! I highly recommend here! My dog has bad separation anxiety and she was amazing with Blaze! Kept me updated throughout his stay! She is very good with dogs and would recommend her and would absolutely leave Blaze with her again!”


“Like many others, my dog is basically my child so I always get a little nervous when it comes to finding a sitter. I contacted Cheryl to watch my 5 year old dachshund for two nights for a wedding we were attending. She was very responsive and was also conveniently located 10 minutes from our hotel. We traveled from NY and therefore didn’t get the opportunity to do a meet and greet beforehand but Cheryl reassured me that her dog Gus was friendly with everyone and when our dog met him, they got along right away. Cheryl has a fully fenced in yard with plenty of room to run around and although our dog typically sleeps on our bed, Cheryl had plenty of comfy couches and dog beds available. My dog is also an incredibly picky eater and eats fresh refrigerated dog food (he’s a diva I know) and Cheryl had no problems accommodating this. She provided many updates which I certainly appreciated. I would recommend Cheryl to others looking for a dog sitter in the area. She did a great job taking care of my fur baby and I would use her as a sitter if we were ever in the area again. Thank you for taking great care of Wilson, Cheryl!!”


“Crystal took exception care of Bailer wile we were away for 10 days. She sent pictures on a regular basic and kept us updated on how he was doing! I will defiantly be using Crystal again when we go away.”


“We had such a great experience with Carly! Fig absolutely loved spending time with Willow- they became fast friends. It was such a comfort knowing Fig was in a warm, caring home with another sweet pup to play with. Highly recommend!”


About: I have always been a lover of animals. I grew up with cats, dogs, rabbits, guniea pigs, and hamsters. Every single animal I’ve had has been given the love they deserve. Giving them all their play time, I have a huge fenced in yard for dogs to run around in and play fetch. If pets need their own space, I can accommodate that. If you need me to take extra time out for them I can offer that as well! I’m here to help! I am a hairstylist by trade for 27 years and love what I do, I work part time to be home more with my children. Being a hairstylist, I love helping my clients look and feel good. That being said, I figured I can help people in other ways as well and being that I love animals, why not help people with their pets by taking care of them! I take my dog on daily walks, except for Tuesdays and Saturdays but those are the days I work in the salon, but my husband takes our dog out. She also will go to my mother's house in the summer to swim with us as she absolutely loves the pool! Being that I am home most of the week, watching dogs fits well into my schedule. I will treat other people's pets as if they were my own. As long as they are potty trained, I will allow them to walk freely in my home, I have a huge fenced in yard for them to run and play. As long as the weather is beautiful out, I will take them on walks as well with my family! Myself and my family will treat your pets as if they were ours! We will show them love the entire time they are with us!

“Alexis and Bean were wonderful! They took such great care of Charlie, sent pictures and communicated well the whole time! Charlie came back so happy and tired lol”


“Kaitlyn was so easy to communicate with and took such great care of my pup! She sent pictures and checked in over the weekend. Will be rebooking in the future! Thanks Kaitlyn! 😊”



“Suzanne is fantastic with our dog Charlie. Every time he stays with her he comes home so happy & well exercised which is no easy task considering he’s a very active border collie.”


“Luz and Alessandro did an excellent job taking care of my Smokey. They have a beautiful and welcoming home, and you can tell that they love pets.”


“Mary was excellent to work with. I was scared since it was my first time using Rover or leaving my pet with anyone that isnt family, but she sent me photos and kept me updated throughout our trip.”


“5 stars isn't enough for Jody. She took THE BEST care of my two Cavapoos and sent several pictures every day. Both of my dogs got along with her dog Benny which is an adorable Chihuahua. She also taught me some great tricks to get my dogs to eat and recommended a great product to walk them both without getting them tangled up. Thank you Jody!”


About: I adopted my first dog in 2007, a shepard chow. She lived a long life of 15 years. Bc of her breed, I’ve gained experience with nonsocial reactive dogs. She was sweet at heart and loved long waks. I also have worked for a doggy daycare doing pack walks, socials, walking nonsocial dogs. I’ve used leads as well as e-collars. I am currently off for summer break. I will have plenty of time to stop in or take in your dog or cat. Usually during the week I am up in Morris County but the long weekends I spend down the shore. I can make arrangements to also stay for the entire week if needed. When watching friend’s and family’s pets, I try to stick to their usual schedule as much as possible. Feeding and exercising as needed. I am also able to just keep your pet company.

“Allison is the best. Would highly recommend her”


About: My family, friends & neighbors have relied on my help to care for their pets. I understand how priceless it is to find that person to trust & be there for your pet. I have a passion for animals & enjoy being with them all the time. I have a Pomeranian dog, that I adore. Caring for my pet makes it easy to fit in pet care & dog walking to my daily & weekly routine. I think when a person owns a pet they truly have an understanding what is required. I provide reliable service. Most of all, I look forward to meeting your fur babies 🐶🐈. Thank you for the opportunity to care & walk your pet/pets.

“I am writing to express my highest recommendation for Rose. I would trust no one more with my furry children than her. Rose cares for my pups as if they were her own, and they are always happy tails wagging and smiling when we drop them off. There are only three people I would ever leave my dogs with, and she is one of them.”

Kimberlee M.
“Kim would be a wonderful pet caretaker. She has been around animals all of her life. Growing up she helped to take care of cats, dogs, guinea pigs, chickens and rabbits. She always showed love and care to each animal. The animals in return showed her the love and kindness she had given them. She has taken care of my cats and dogs when I have been away. She is very trustworthy and I feel at ease when she is taking care of them. Sincerely, Susan M”
