“My kitty was very happy when Megan came. She kept us update with pictures and messages. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing our little guy was being taken care of.”
“This great review is long overdue. Mutsuko is always on time and extremely with Champ. I have asked her to walk and sit at least 15+ times. I strongly encourage anyone to ask her to care for their pet. You will not be disappointed!”
“Laraine was extremely accommodating for my fur child! I booked in home visits during a busy loaded work week and she made sure my pups visits were comfortable from HOME! Any care instructions that That were needed, she paid close attention to detail and was right on top of it. She even took my high energetic athletic pup on morning runs! So grateful and thankful for Laraine ?”
“katrina always does such a great job with our pups and is very thoughtful as well! it was possibly going to rain so she came a little earlier for one of the drop in so they would have time to run around outside and get out some energy. it’s so much easier going on trips knowing our fur babies are well taken care of!”

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience raising my dog since he was 4 months old, including training in various methods. I’m dedicated to understanding your dog’s unique needs and providing personalized care, whether it’s puppy training or senior dog support. Pet care fits into my routine by allowing me to offer reliable care during evenings and weekends. I work full time during the week, but I’m available to provide attentive care starting at 4 PM on weekdays and am free for full-day care on most weekends. I care for pets in my home by providing a safe and welcoming environment, with a fenced yard for playtime and outdoor fun. My two friendly dogs enjoy the company of others, so your pet will have a buddy to socialize with. In your home, I ensure your pet’s routine is followed, providing familiar comfort and attention.
“Hon accepted my last minute request to drop in to take care of my senior cat. He was professional, caring and attentive. He sat with my cat as he ate and that means a lot to me because I didn't even ask for that. I was able to enjoy my beach day because he was there. I would recommend Hon to anyone.”
“Could not have asked for a better pet sitter! Sumona took excellent care of my cat and dog. She gave extra scratches to my cat and walked the dog, despite the weather... good job!”
About: I have taken care of dogs most of my life. I have had cats all my life. I pet sit for my parents all the time after having lived with them for most of the time that they have had their dogs. I have always had multiple pets. I feed, walk, bathe, give meds, and clean up after pets. I currently work full time, but have the time and flexibly to work from home several times a week with gives me the time to work on other things. I am also available on weekends and evenings. I have a great space for your pet to run with both grass and fenced in areas. I also can crate your pet if needed.
“Melissa visited Muddy for a drop-in visit. They quickly became best friends. After Muddy took care of a “nature call”, he came back in the house and showed Melissa all of his wonderful toys that his mom and dad buy (mostly, mom). Finally, Muddy went up on the couch and they chilled for a while before Melissa told Muddy it was time for her to leave. He eagerly went back into his crate and was glad that he got a big cookie and a kong to amuse himself with. He said if mom and dad have to leave him, he’d be thrilled to have Melissa come in to see him. Melissa is Muddy-approved!”
“Aayush has been a very reliable and conscientious sitter! He took excellent care of our cat's feeding schedule and a clean litter. Gave us complete peace of mind to trust Aayush when we had an emergency international travel. We're so grateful to have found such a trustworthy and helpful Rover. I highly recommend Aayush to anyone looking for a kind, dependable, and trustworthy pet sitter!”
About: Hello! I go by Nina! I have happily cared for a variety pup sizes, anxiety, and activity levels. From walks and playtime to feeding and snuggles. I make sure every pup feels happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently working weekdays until 4:30pm. I have availability on weekends and after 4:30pm on weekdays. I am willing to commute within 10 miles of the Plainsboro area! My goal is to allow your pet to trust me whether it is a drop in visit or a weekly schedule. I will care for your pets like they are my own and will treat your home with respect when I do drop ins or pick them up for a walk!
“Easy to communicate with. Showed up each day. On time. Seemed to spend the full time with my cat. Was dependent and reliable and seemingly kind to my cat (which is most important). Would recommend.”
“Being my first time using Rover, I was a bit unsure, but Yasmine made the whole experience so easy and reassuring. She took such great care of my cat, Xavi, and kept me updated with messages and adorable photos. It was clear that Xavi felt comfortable with her, which put my mind at ease while I was away. Yasmine’s attention to detail and genuine love for animals really stood out. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my first time using Rover, and I’ll definitely trust her with Xavi again in the future!”
About: I truly love pets cats and dogs. I studied pet grooming and I am currently in a grooming internship! I love to make your pets like family. I am off the summer and looking to fill my day with your pets needs! I really look forward to meeting your pets! Thank you I live in the condo and I don’t have a fence in but if needed I can walk your pets. I can feed cats and scoop liter!
About: I rescued my first pup in 2020 he was 3 months old. I trained him myself. Crate trained, leash trained, and commands. In December of 2024 I rescued my second pup at 2 years old and I have trained her as well. We go on walks every day on a nature trail. I am also trusted by my neighbor to play with and walk her dog. My schedule is currently totally open. If that changes I will of course update you. I am currently trying to see if dog walking full time will work out for me. I treat all dogs with love, care, and respect. I let them come to me and warm up to me. Over time I show them what is appropriate behavior that helps them to live in a human world. I do this by telling them no when the behavior isn’t appropriate and giving them a treat and telling them good boy/ girl when they are behaving.
About: Hi, there! I’m Dani. l work full-time on a hybrid schedule (some remote days), but would love to help you take care of your fur babies in my spare time and when I’m working remotely. I have several years of experience petsitting and dog walking through family and friends and through Rover. I am available for boarding, check-ins, and walks! Please refer to my Rover calendar for my booking availability. My daily routine nonetheless consists of pet care since I have pets of my own, so I am very familiar and comfortable with caring for animals around the clock 🫶🏼 You can rest assured that I will treat your pets and your home just as I would want mine to be treated. I’ll give lots of love and attention to your fur babies and be sure to send you plenty of cute photos!

She takes the time to get to know your dog’s personality, routines, and any specific care instructions. Additionally, Luz is always patient and responsive.

Danielle’s calm, kind and gentle manner helped ease their minds and now they are less anxious around strangers. They are so much happier and calmer at home now that they have regular walks.”

Dayton pet parents share their Rover experiences
Mutsuko was a wonderful cat sitter! We couldn’t have asked for anything more. She was kind, attentive, and thoughtful. She meticulously looked after our cat Cheddar’s needs (fresh food, water, litter, etc.) and health. And also considered his emotional well being, playing with him, mixing in various toys and leaving some out in fun places so he could play when she was gone. She gave us wonderful reports which we looked forward to each day. We missed him, but could really enjoy our vacation knowing he was in the best hands. Cheddar really bonded with her, which is just as important as us being happy with her! Her husband Toru is also terrific and his love of cats is evident! We will definitely be using them again!
