“My dog was nervous about hanging out with a new person but Sean was so patient with her and she warmed up beautifully. His experience as a trainer showed. He communicated well. I will happily have him back next time I need.”
About: Hey there! My wife (Sam) and I (Jen) are an animal-loving couple, and looking for a new way to spend our afternoons with some furry friends. Our days can be pretty flexible as Sam and I both work from home, and we thought what better way to earn a little extra cash while doing something we're both passionate about! We both have a decent amount of experience caring for both dogs and cats! Pablo (9 years) and Boots (8 years) are our two ever-loving boy cats that we adore a little too much. Sam and I grew up with dogs, and also frequently dog sit for our neighbors and friends. We'd love to have the opportunity to meet your fur baby and care for them! :) Sam and I work from home, so our schedules are pretty flexible! We’re able to take multiple breaks for playtime, walks, cuddles, feeding, etc. We love having furry company while we work - it’s a win/win! We are very attentive and to our boys’ needs at home and we’ll always bring that level of attention and care to every pet we look after. Whether it comes to strategically placing a sunny perch for their lazy afternoon lounging, to buying them a new set of toys because they get ruined every couple of months, their comfort, happiness and safety is our priority. We’ll take the time to learn your pet’s personality, routines, and individual needs so they feel as comfortable and at home as possible. Your fur babies will be met with plenty of love, care, attention, and of course, lots of cuddles <3
“Tracy and Steven were awesome—our pets were clearly in great hands. They really took the time to bond with them, playing with our dog and giving lots of attention and cuddles to our cats. They showed up three times a day like clockwork and even grabbed a couple packages from the front door, which we really appreciated. The updates and photos after each visit were thoughtful and reassuring. It made a big difference not having to worry about our animal children while we were away. We’d definitely book them again.”
About: My heart goes out to every pet owner, as I have recently lost my childhood companion in June 2025. I am looking forward to taking care of your pets. Pet care in my daily life and daily routine is something I have open availability for at this time as long as I am notified 1-2 days in advance. Based on the pet I am taking care of, I can best accommodate with the pet if I know their behaviors, triggers, their favorite things to do, etc. I’d treat every pet as my own, making sure they get their daily walks in, set a time for when to eat, make sure they do eat, set some time aside to possibly play depending on the dog, cleanliness is also key.
“She watched Daisy and did a fantastic job. Daisy was a little nervous at first but she worked with her and by the end of my vacation they were sitting on the backyard stairs cuddling!”
About: My name is Alice, and I have 20+ years of experience with dogs of all breeds & ages. I'm a work-from-home registered nurse, licensed dog walker, and doggie foster mom. I share a home with my wife (she's also at home full-time) and 2 sweet beagles. We limit group sizes, so your pup will have lots of personal attention throughout the day. You can expect plenty of updates with videos and pictures so you can truly relax while you're away. Our schedules are flexible. Doggies are a HUGE part of our day. We love going on walks and being out in the yard. We're super interactive with every dog who stays with us and will suit their unique preferences: fetch, socialization, tug of war, quiet time, cuddles, you name it! Drop-off & Pickup Times: Doggy Day Care 8am - 6pm Overnight Boarding Dropoff after 8am, Pickup before 7pm We have a GIANT flat yard that's fully fenced in for sniffs, fetch, and frolicking. Our doggie guests are treated like family. We have beds throughout the house so everyone can roam and lounge freely. But we can also accommodate shy pups who want a space to themselves. They get plenty of play, supervised yard time, treats, and affection. At the end of the day, our pups are happy campers, and their parents rest easy knowing that they're always excited to return! For those with special needs, such as administering injections or medications, my medical training comes in super handy!!
About: Hi! My name is Debora and I am Pom mom & insured & have First Aid/CPR certificate. I have 50+ positive reviews in another platform and have experience with dog walking and pet sitting.

My goal is simple: providing paw-sitivity for your pups! 🐾———————————————————————— Hola! Me llamo Debora y soy mamá de un perrito Pomerania.

“Melanie came by for a visit just to get to know my kitty, Jinjin before I go away for a week. Melanie was great and was able to get Jinjin out of hiding which was awesome and very reassuring. I highly recommend her!”
“Paige did a great job checking in on our two cats while we were away. She has awesome energy, is super polite, and was very easy to work with. She sent good updates and clearly cares a lot about animals. Definitely glad we booked with her!”

About: Hi! We’re Rossy & Wilvin — a dog-loving couple who genuinely enjoy having pups around and making them feel right at home. 🐾 We know how important it is to leave your dog with someone you can trust, so our goal is simple: lots of love, attention, walks, playtime, and a comfortable home where your pup can relax and be themselves. We treat every dog like part of the family and are happy to follow their normal routine, feeding schedule, walks, and any little habits that make them feel comfortable. We’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos so you can enjoy your time away without wondering how your baby is doing. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddling on the couch, or simply having company, we’re happy to adapt to their personality. We’d love to be your dog’s home away from home. 🤍🐶 I currently work from home with a flexible schedule and can provide full attention to your dog! Walk them, feed them or even groom them. I have a super friendly dog ( Margot) and we have plenty of space in the house with lots of toys. The neighborhood is safe and we have plenty of parks nearby.
About: I have lifelong experience as a pet owner/lover as well as a decade of walking and caretaking experience. I specifically have developed excellent walking etiquette and liken myself to a walk-trainer for younger dogs 🐾 I am self employed which gives me more than ample time to give my utmost attention to your babies. I also take a two (or more) mile walk everyday already so it's always a great joy to have companions/break it up throughout the day! I live in a duplex with access to the fenced in front yard in an extremely safe neighborhood. There is also a crate, pee pads, treats, beds, love abundant in the home.
About: Growing up, my childhood home was affectionately known as "The Zoo"—and for good reason! From dogs and cats to bunnies, hamsters, hermit crabs, and fish, I’ve spent my life surrounded by a diverse cast of creatures. With over 20 years of hands-on experience, I’ve transitioned from a kid who loved animals to a seasoned caregiver who understands the nuances of pet behavior and health. I’m particularly well-versed in specialized care; I can confidently administer medications and manage complex health routines and I’m a dedicated "cat parent" to my own senior kitty who has CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease), so I truly understand the patience, vigilance, and extra TLC required for pets with chronic conditions. Whether your pet is high-energy or requires more care, they’ll be in experienced, loving hands. I am home all day with open availability and would love to fit your special furry loved one into my schedule and keep them company! I believe that every interaction should be rooted in building a genuine foundation of trust; when an animal feels secure, they can truly thrive. This bond is especially vital for pets requiring special care or medications—I take the time to move at their pace so that even during medical routines, they feel safe, happy, and relaxed rather than stressed.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over five years, and I have two small dogs of my own that I love. I’m organized, responsible, and attentive, and I provide each dog with personalized care, walks, and playtime. I also prioritize clear communication with owners, just as I appreciate when someone cares for my own pets. I’m available all week, including weekends. Just reach out and we can discuss your schedule. I kindly ask owners to be honest about their pets’ needs and behavior so I can provide the best care and avoid any issues during their stay. I prefer to care for pets at my home, where I can provide a safe and comfortable environment. I offer boarding only for small dogs, as I live on a 2nd floor, and I have a backyard where pets can play at least twice a day, along with neighborhood walks. My goal is for every dog to have a happy and enjoyable stay. For any specific details or questions, feel free to contact me.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Clifton
We had such a wonderful experience with Christina! 🥰 She was so sweet, reliable, and attentive with our puppy Chloe, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Chloe absolutely loved spending time with her, and Christina was always great about keeping us updated. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We’re so grateful we found her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their fur baby! 🐶💕
Hi Michael! Sorry for the late response - after the 2am time back from VEG Saturday morning then the move-in on Sunday, I’m tired!! Thanks again for helping out and for the update. Moose (with his medicine) slept through the night without a coughing fit last night so he seems to be recovering. Now we just have a high energy dog who can’t go to day care at all this week! 😂 I hope you have a great week! Also, we’re seeing A Few Good Men at Lincoln Center on Sunday November 8, so we’ll request a drop-in if you’re around!
Michelle was great with my corgi. Communication while arranging the meet and greet could have been better but overall I’m very happy with the care she gave him for the drop-in visits. She listened exactly to what he needed and gave him lots of outside time. I would not hesitate to book with Michelle again.
We are so grateful for Geoff! He recently helped us out on very short notice when we needed someone to care for our dog, Cayenne, and our two cats so that our whole family could travel for a college visit with our son. Geoff was incredibly accommodating, reliable, and took great care of all three of them, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Geoff has been wonderful with Cayenne and is someone we know we can depend on. It means a lot to have someone we trust caring for our pets, especially when plans come together unexpectedly. We highly recommend Geoff and truly appreciate everything he does for our furry family members!
Pete is amazing. I was gone for a business trip last week and Pete came over every morning to watch Oscar and see him off to daycare every day. Oscar was thrilled, as was Sandy, to spend so much time with his best friend. It gave me such peace of mind knowing that Pete was taking care of Oscar, and it was amazing to have one less thing to worry about. I literally cannot put a price on that!! Thank you, Pete!!
I can’t say enough great things about Ashley ! From the very first meet-and-greet, it was clear how kind, reliable, and genuinely passionate she is about animals. She took the time to understand my dog’s personality, routine, and needs, which immediately put me at ease. While at work I received photos, and little notes that reassured me my dog was not only safe, but happy and well cared for. It truly felt like my dog was being treated like family, not just a booking. When I come home from work, my dog is relaxed, content, and clearly has formed a bond with Ashley - which says everything. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pet ! If you’re looking for someone dependable, communicative, and full of love for your pet, I highly recommend Ashley !
Stefanie was absolutely AMAZING! From the moment she started, we felt completely at ease. She sent frequent updates and adorable photos throughout her stay, which meant the world to us. She truly saved us in a last-minute situation and was beyond accommodating and flexible. It was so clear our pups were happy, comfortable, and in the excellent hands. We highly recommend Stefanie to anyone looking for exceptional care! 🐾💛
