“Tina is very responsive, caring, and easy to communicate with. She made sure all the specific requests I had were taken care of perfectly. When I came home, my cats were calm and well attended to. I can finally travel without worrying about them!”

“Fijian was everything I could hope for in a cat sitter and MORE! She took excellent care of my babies and sent extremely detailed updates after every visit. She is an adept caretaker and I felt very comfortable leaving my cats in her very capable hands. I’ve already booked her for another weekend!”

“This was our second time booking Taylor, and we will definitely use her again in the future! She is very responsible and follows all the instructions to the letter. We love her updates and pictures, too!”


“Laura provided excellent service and communication regarding our cats while we were gone for 9 days. My 2 senior cats need daily medication (oral pills and topical cream) and Laura was comfortable with this situation. When we booked our vacation, months ago, they didn't need any medication, so finding the right sitter leading up to our time away was stressful for me, but Laura was great and helped me feel more at ease while on our big family vacation. It turned out that one of my cats would hide with each visit, which I'm sure was annoying to manage, but Laura stuck with it. We can't thank her enough for caring for our aging cats!”

About: I've taken care and spent time with animals since I was young. I have one gorgeous husky of my own and have watched over my family/friends' dogs and cats many times. With years of hands on experience, I'm confident in caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities! No matter the task, I always have an attentive and loving approach to make your pet feel their best. I am currently a second-year Rutgers student who is home for the summer, which gives me more than enough time to care for my pup and your cute pets as well! At my home, I have a deck and patio that my husky loves to hang out on. At the moment, I do not offer overnight boardings, however I do offer drop in visits, walks, and sittings. I can come to your house and walk, feed, and play with your pups (and/or kitties)!
“Elizabeth was so good with our little monster! She spent time to get him used to her since he's a bit feisty. In the end, he let her pet him and give the insulin with almost no issue. She's a really wonderful person and I highly recommend her as a sitter.”

About: Ever since I was a little kid, I’ve always had an animal around the house. Whether it was my parents cats, my family dogs, or my grandparents fosters, there has always been an animal in my household! I love entertaining them and playing with them, and I do my best to make sure they feel loved and safe in their spaces! I am a college student who works as a substitute teacher, so weekends are the main time I can provide your pet with the best service possible! But, if you communicate ahead of time and are nearby, I’m sure we can figure out a time for me to drop in, or the chance of me staying overnight to care for your pet! When coming into your home, I want to make sure that I am the best guest possible. Not only do I want your pet to be comfortable with me in their space, but I want you to feel comfortable with me caring for them. Give me the ground rules, the entire run down, and I will put my best foot forward to show you I’m somebody you can trust.

About: Gentle & reliable dog walker. Grew up with a Labrador, so I know the love (and energy!) dogs bring. Your pup’s safety & fun always come first 😊. My schedule is pretty relaxed. I have a part-time job from 4-8 pm Monday-Wednesday and work from home Thursday and Friday. Weekends are also generally free, but sometimes I have to take time to help take care of some stuff for my parents. My fenced-in backyard and the safety of my neighborhood provide peace of mind. Since I don’t have any other pets in my home, you can rest assured that your pets won’t encounter any issues or conflicts within the household.

About: I love animals and have experience working with and sitting for a wide range of them, including dogs, cats, and small or exotic animals. I myself have owned over twenty parrots (currently have two in the aviary!) and have extensive experience with fishkeeping — I have four cycled, walstad fish and shrimp tanks! I can walk your dog, clean your cat’s litter box, and even do water changes for your fish if needed! Anything to make sure your little guys are well cared for! I’m a graduate student who will be free over the summer, so my schedule is flexible until late August. I can make myself and my home available as needed. I live in a townhome that features a large, lush, and open neighborhood to walk your dogs in. My home has two floors; the first floor is where your pet will stay. When your pet is in my home, they are treated like members of my family. They will be fed, walked, and enriched on your schedule, and will be allowed to sit on the couch and even sleep in my bed at nights if comfortable. I take great care to ensure that your pet’s stay is comfortable and fun-filled. In my home, I currently have two budgies in a large cage and two betta fish, each in 5-10 gallon tanks. The parrots are allowed to free fly for most of the day, but they will be put away or kept caged when your pets are being boarded. When I am in your home, I cultivate the utmost respect. I try not to disturb or move anything that’s not necessary. I’ll make use of only what’s given to me with regards to caring for your pet, and leave everything else exactly how I found it.
“Michael was an amazing cat sitter to our 3 indoor boys and took care of our 1 feral lady outside! He was there everyday we were gone at the boys “dinner time” without fail! I received adorable photos of the belly rubs and even my shy guy came out for treats! That’s a testament to the animal person Michael is! When we returned home from our vacation the house was exactly how we left it and the boys had plenty of food and water. Their boxes were clean and the area was tidy. We will absolutely be using Michael’s services again!”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for dogs. I've been a dog owner for most of my life, having cared for my family dog from ages 6 to 16 and now raising another dog since I was 18. This hands on experience has taught me how to understand dogs' unique personalities, routines, and needs at every stage of life. I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pet, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, or simply having a calm and caring companion, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'm reliable, attentive, and committed to keeping pet parents updated for complete peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for my own dog and understand the importance of consistency, exercise, and attention. I work Monday through Saturday until 12:00 PM, which allows me to dedicate my afternoons, evenings, and Sundays to pet care. My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding routines, and quality one-on-one attention. I make caring for pets a priority and ensure they receive the same level of care, affection, and reliability that I give my own dog every day. I tailor my care to each pet's individual needs and routine. In a client's home, I make sure pets stay comfortable by maintaining their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I also provide plenty of attention, affection, and companionship so they feel secure while their family is away. When caring for pets, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and communication. I pay close attention to their behavior, make sure they have fresh water, exercise, and plenty of love, and I keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. My goal is to make every pet feel happy, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own.
About: I’m an animal lover who goes above and beyond while caring for your dog. I always follow the pet owner's directions carefully so that the pet will be happy while they are in my care and the owner will be at ease knowing that their pet is in good hands. I have a family who has years of pet sitting experience. I can come to your house to feed or walk your dog or other pets. I love all animals so I am interested in caring for your cats and other pets. I have many references. I am a college student attending tcnj. My schedule is very flexible, I am available every day to come and take care of your pets. I can be trusted to go to your home and lock the doors and set the alarm. If transporting your dog, I would be confident in putting on harnesses, leashes, and any other items you request.
About: I’ve supported pet owners by providing reliable care that focuses on routine, safety, and comfort. I’ve worked with pets of varying energy levels and personalities and understand how consistency, patience, and clear communication help animals feel at ease while away from their owners. My availability allows me to dedicate consistent time throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and extended care. I plan my day carefully to ensure pets receive dependable attention without feeling rushed or overstimulated. I prioritize clear routines, secure spaces, and careful supervision. I follow instructions exactly as provided, keep environments clean, and remain observant of behavior changes so pets stay safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated pet lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats—my pups Gary, Kiki, and Koko, and my cat Gracie. Each of them has their own personality, so I’m used to adjusting my care to fit different temperaments, energy levels, and routines. From long walks and playtime to quiet cuddle sessions and independent cat care, I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, walks, and giving pets the attention they need—whether they’re social or a little more reserved. Your pet will be treated like family with me, safe, happy, and in good hands every time.
About: For years, I’ve been trusted by friends and family to care for dogs of all sizes and personalities, whether it’s energetic puppies, strong large breeds, or mellow older dogs. I also have experience providing medicine for both dogs and cats, ensuring they get the right care when they need it most. I know how important it is to keep pets active and engaged, so I make sure every dog gets plenty of walks, playtime, and attention tailored to their needs. Being an active caregiver, I enjoy staying on the move and making sure each furry friend feels loved, safe, and happy while in my care. I currently work four days a week and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide care and walks Monday, Wednesday through Sunday. This gives me ample time for multiple walks per day, accommodating different feeding routines, and plenty of playtime. Whether it’s sticking to a schedule or adding in extra activity, I make sure each pet gets the care and attention they need. Depending on your dog’s training and routine, I can follow your directions for crate use, provide free roam in my apartment, or stick to the setup you prefer. Since I don’t have a yard, I make sure dogs are leash trained and enjoy regular walks in my neighborhood. Walks can range anywhere from 1 to 3 miles, depending on your dog’s needs and your request. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and well-cared for in an environment that matches their routine. In your home, I would follow careful instructions with walking, feeding, and playing.
Colonia dog parents share their Rover experiences
Jessica was great to work with. Before we booked her, she came by to meet our pups, which immediately put our minds at ease. She communicated well throughout her visits and sent pictures, which we really appreciated. Knowing our dogs were happy and well cared for made being away so much easier. We would definitely recommend her and look forward to working with her again.

Thank you so much for taking such good care of my puppy during the drop-in visit! I really appreciated the updates and photos, and it gave me peace of mind knowing my puppy was in good hands. My puppy seemed happy, comfortable, and well cared for when I got back. I would definitely recommend you and look forward to booking with you again!”
Nicolas (Cole) was great to communicate with. He gave detailed feedback on how our dogs were doing while we were home. He took the initiative to find our cat and made sure he got attention too ! Coke’s puts his heart in his work with the pets. We will gladly request to have him return.

Awesome experience with Lucas and Katherine! A very nice couple that gave our 6 yo 70lb shepherd mix the attention and special care needed to manage her anxiety, epilepsy and diabetes. They were very warm, welcoming and followed our instructions to the T - putting our first timer worries at ease. We will def book again!

Taylor is an excellent sitter. She watched our dog and cat two days in a row. She was on time, followed direction, and was easy to communicate with. Plus both out animals liked her! We would highly recommend Taylor and will definitely be booking with her again.

Hannah is a gem. She's very easy to communicate and schedule with. She clearly loves animals and takes such for care of Pongo. She doesn't just go through the motions but puts effort and energy into spending quality time with our dog. Would recommend to anyone.
