“Chloe clicked with my dog Ellie instantly, they loved each other during the meet and greet. We left Ellie in good hands for one day with Chloe. She stopped by several times during the day and next day to make sure Ellie was well fed and loved. The pictures she sent made me relieved that Ellie was well taken care of while I was away. I’ll definitely be asking her to care for my dog next time I’m away 💛.”


“Peter was great with truffle! He came on time and took truffle for a nice long walk. Truffle was all smiles on return and had yhe zoomies ..so he’s ready to go again. Thanks Peter !”


“Karen is great! She’s very friendly and professional and provides thorough updates. I know my cat is in good hands with her and I don’t have to worry. I think my cat likes her more than me, haha.”


“We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Ellie. She took great care of our shy, diabetic, 17 year old cat. She took his blood glucose levels and administered his insulin shots with kindness and professionalism. She went the extra mile to find him when he hiding, make sure he was eating and have some cuddle time every day. Highly recommended!”



“Cathy came to let my 12 week old puppy out for a break while we were away all day. All went great. Pictures and texts were a great reassurance. Thank you!!”


“Cheryl & Elmar each dropped-in to visit my new 10 week old puppy who is adapting to his parents going back to work. Hudson absolutely loved playing with them and they provided plenty of pictures and videos to ensure Hudson was comfortable and having a great time.”


“Hannah was super flexible and easy to connect with and set up last minute plans for my dog Albus. I felt secure and trusting right from the start! I highly recommend!”


About: I am retired and have recently relocated to northern jersey. I am an avid animal lover. I have always had my own pets. Unfortunately, I had to say goodbye to my fur baby of 13 1/2 years and am not quite ready to adopt at this time but sincerely miss having an animal in my life. I am helping to care for a dear friend’s cat and although truthfully I am more a "dog" person, I now find myself beginning to appreciate "cats”. Cats are really fascinating (and a lot different) than dogs. I believe that I am a person who you can trust with one of your most prized possessions, your "fur-babies". I love walking, so dog walking is a win win!! Drop in visits are also no problem!! Unfortunately. I am unable to offer pet sitting at this time. I love to walk and especially enjoy walking for a furry companion. Home visits for either dogs and cats are also something I enjoy doing. I am currently unavailable for pet sitting. However, I do prefer walking small or medium dogs and will give them the exercise and/or company they need.

“Would recommend Tatyana over and over again! This is my first time having someone outside of family and friends watch my 17 year old cat. I was so nervous but Tatyana has given me such peace of mind that my baby is so well taken care of. She is trustworthy, communicative, and an overall lovely person. I will definitely have Tatyana watch my girl again, she has been perfect!”


“Rebecca was wonderful with my cat ozzie and dog jessie.she took jessie for a walk even though I failed to put that in my request.she is very caring.”


“Helene is awesome. I heard her on my ring cameras talking to my pups, and could immediately tell she’s a true animal lover. She followed my instructions and sent several great photos. We will most definitely be repeat customers!”


“Lauren was great with Pew Pew. She was very responsive and did an excellent job tending to all the kitty things. Most importantly Pew Pew was very happy! Would love to have Lauren drop in again.”


“Andrea, I simply cannot thank you enough for caring for Luna and Zoe while we were away. You are both professional and caring, which really eased my mind. The pups and I look forward to working with you again, and I have shared your Rover profile with other friends who need assistance with their four-legged family members. Thank you again! See you soon! :-)”


“Pew Pew was very happy in Alina's care. Alina is very communicative and helpful. Alina gave Pew Pew her medicine daily and was flexible with a last minute change. Thank you Alina!”


“Chelsea did a wonderful job taking care of my 2 cats! She was kind, showed up always on time, sent us great pictures, and made the cats feel very comfortable. I highly recommend her to anyone and will certainly be rehiring her myself!”


About: I had an Akita for almost 10 years and have had many dogs in the past. I took her on long walks and gave her baths and fed her. I would also have to give her medicine occasionally when prescribed. She was the best dog I could’ve ever asked for. I am currently working part time but I am available most of the week during the day. I would love to fill my mornings with activities. If instructions are provided I will do what is required of me. I have a huge fenced in backyard if boarding is required at home.

About: I have been taking care of my dog for about 7 years now, I have been feeding him and playing with him, I love them. I work a part time job so in my free time I like walking dogs and seeing other dogs and everything they have to give. I have a fence so he can play when he wants on the deck or if he wants a walk. If they misbehave I can crate them so they can learn.


“Erick did a great job taking care of our cat following my wife's exacting food prep standards over several days while we were away. We had an intro meeting ahead of our planned visits, and after that we had an unexpected change of plans and he was able to accommodate a different schedule on short notice. He was on time, responsive, and dependable. He played with the cat, fed him, changed his water, and cleaned his litterbox. Erick also went above and beyond, ie he brought in packages left on the porch and pulled in the trash container from the curb after the weekly pickup. Highly recommended.”


“Jenny goes above and beyond when she took care of my two cats for 5 days. Despite the 30 minute time limit allotted for the drop-in visits, she managed to get all of the important care requests handled efficiently! She is also very responsive and gives updates in case something comes up. From the thoughtful Rover cards she sends after each visit, I can tell my two cats love her and her attention because they pose for the camera. Usually they’re pretty shy around strangers, but they warmed up to her pretty easily. Would book again with Jenny!”


About: I’m a recent college graduate with degrees in Education and History, and I’ll be starting my career as a teacher this September. For the I’m looking for meaningful summer work—and what could be better than spending time with animals! I’ve been caring for both my own pets and others’ for over 8 years, and I bring the same level of responsibility and attention to detail to pet sitting as I do to the classroom. I’m punctual, dependable, and full of energy—whether your pet needs long walks, playtime at the park, or just some extra love and attention, I’m happy to provide it. I’m also experienced with a wide range of pet needs, including puppies. I am available Monday - Thursday (after 2:30) as well as Fridays and weekends (any time)! I begin teaching high school in September and availability will differ. In my own home, I spoil my little babies 🥰 I feed my cats dry food twice a day, stock their water fountain with water, keep the dry food stocked, and clean their litter boxes. I give them outside time as long as they stay close or just have the back screen door open to let them see, smell, and hear the nature. Occasionally, I will take them in walks in the kitty stroller with the dog on the leash. When taking care of other people’s cats, I treat them with the same love I would my own. I am happy to care for them in all the same ways, including spending time with them, not just running in and out to feed and clean. I also usually provide photo updates. I take care of my dog by feeding him dry food, letting him out every three hours, taking him on walks as often as possible, giving him snuggles, playing fetch, giving treats, etc. so pretty much treat my dog like a king. I am happy to do the same for you!
