“Denise was amazing with our baby Koda! She was very attentive to all his needs and made sure we were updated on how he was with pictures and videos. I felt very safe leaving him with her and knew he was in good hands! Will definitely use her in the future and recommend her to anyone :)”

“Susi is amazing! She took excellent care of Ellie. Our puppy enjoyed her time with Susi and we were well informed with constant pictures that made us feel happy and confident that she was having fun and in good hands. Would absolutely recommend and leave Ellie with her again”

“We’ve had Cara watch Rigatoni overnight a couple times and it’s been great! She really cares for him and lets us know how things are going throughout the day with pictures too! Rigatoni definitely looks forward to spending time with her!”

I have experience with special diet administering, enrichment, post surgery care + essential pet care skills through my time as an ASPCA volunteer in NYC as well as a local shelter volunteer in my college town! while i do work 9-5 mon-fri, i love keeping my self busy outside of work and nothing would make my weekend better than to spend it with your pet, truly. I used to have my dog live with me for the past few years, so if need be, my home will always be pet friendly for yours! I am also very comfortable caring for pets in their own home as that it what they are used to.
“Raegan was awesome today with our husky Sterling! She took great care of him, he clearly bonded with her and look forward to using her again. I would highly recommend her for any dog service!”

“Alexandra was a phenomenal Rover partner, I'm so glad we booked her! She asked very thoughtful questions about our dog Remy, sent us many photos and videos during the house-sitting booking, and seemed to truly enjoy taking care of / spending time with our little guy (important!) Timely, kind, and our dog literally fell asleep in her arms when she arrived. Thank you Alexandra!”

“Great dog sitter! My large dog was very comfortable with Dong. He is very fast in responding to messages and sends lots of videos and pictures. Will definitely rebook!”


“Absolutely awesome! Great communication and was very understanding with my dog that has some unique quirks. I came back to an apartment that was as clean or better than I left it after Emily has watched Benji overnight for 6 days. 10/10 would recommend Emily!”

“Morgan is amazing! My dog Gobi loved her the minute he met her and he happily let me go to work while Morgan watched him for the day. She is gentle with our nervous guy, sends sweet updates/pics and took care of him perfectly. We couldn't be happier :)”

“Cassie has done drop ins and walked our pup and also pet sitting in our home. She is the best! My dog can be anxious around new people and she made him feel comfortable so quickly. Highly recommend her!”

“Lakshmi is a fantastic pet sitter! She looked after our cat Mac for about two weeks. This was the first time my wife and I used Rover, so we didn’t know what to expect with a stayover pet sitter. Lakshmi was pretty much everything we could ask for: conscientious, friendly, easy to communicate with, and a gracious house guest. Most importantly for us: she was very responsible with Mac right off the bat, getting to know his daily routine, feeding, toys, playtime, likes/dislikes, etc. We could tell Lakshmi also just likes working with animals… honestly Mac is usually scared of strangers and a bit of a diva 😅, but he really warmed up to Lakshmi during our trip. My wife and I loved getting the little photo updates as we traveled… we knew Lakshmi won him over once we saw the cat lounging belly up in the middle of the floor. My wife and I had never had to leave Mac for such a long time, and I’m happy to say we had peace of mind the whole trip. Lakshmi gets a big recommendation from us, and we’d definitely turn to her again to look after our little Mac.”

I’m also available other weekdays for pop in visits in the evening. I also do house sitting services which include weekdays. Let me know what you need! I'm available on weekends and certain weekdays to take your pup for walks around the neighborhood. I lived in the downtown Jersey City area for 5 years.

“Michelle was great! She checked in regularly and left the house tidy. Toni seemed happy and well, so that checks all the boxes! I would definitely book again.”

“Kobi-Lee is wonderful addition to my cat’s care crew! We have been searching for someone who genuinely loves cats. Kobi-Lee was generous with her time and left my apartment spotless / probably better than I had originally cleaned it.”

“Katie was wonderful with our 2 spoiled cats! She shared daily detailed updates and followed our instructions which I appreciated. We will definitely hire her in the future :)”


“Mike’s stay with my pups, Amil and Café, was absolutely extraordinary! Truly incredible. It was so relaxing to be away knowing they were in the best hands. This was my first time ever hiring a dog sitter, and the experience couldn’t have been better. Mike kept amazing communication throughout the entire trip, sending photos and updates of everything going on, it really gave me so much peace of mind. Mike is the best! I’m already looking forward to my next trip so my dogs can have another amazing vacation with him!! 😄”

“Adriana did such an amazing job watching my two dogs! They absolutely loved her from the moment she walked in the door, & they don’t cozy up to just anyone! I got tons of photos & updates while I was away which had me at ease. You can really tell she cares for your animals & treats them as her own! I also came home to a completely spotless & clean house which was the cherry on top after coming home from a long trip! Loved having Adriana & would absolutely rebook :)”

“Mercedes was incredible with our 4 year old Frenchie, Minka, who had some special needs while Mercedes was watching her due to a recent injury. She was so communicative with us, especially confirming when Minka took her medicine and how her energy levels were, which was really helpful. On top of great communication and care, she is just a natural with animals and Minka loved her. Mercedes also watched Minka at our home, and was respectful and clean. We will absolutely be reaching out to Mercedes again.”

Jocelyn was amazing with our pups during a very hard time for us. She took amazing care of them and they were so obviously comfortable with her as shown by the many pics and videos she sent. We will definitely be using her again. And she left our home in perfect condition :)

Alexandra was a phenomenal Rover partner, I'm so glad we booked her! She asked very thoughtful questions about our dog Remy, sent us many photos and videos during the house-sitting booking, and seemed to truly enjoy taking care of / spending time with our little guy (important!) Timely, kind, and our dog literally fell asleep in her arms when she arrived. Thank you Alexandra!

Adrian was such a fantastic sitter for our cat, Jelly Bean! JB seemed to take to him right away despite being a slightly anxious cat, and we could not have been happier with Adrian’s clear, regular communication, his respect for Bean, and his respect for our home - and especially his amazing PHOTOS, wow! He made Bean look like a pet model! We loved working with Adrian and plan to book again in the future.

I had a last-minute work trip and needed a sitter. I hit the jackpot with Grace. Her communication was top-tier, she sent lots of updates and I could tell from every photo and video that my pup was having the best time. It’s not fun being away from our pets, but having someone like Grace sit makes it a lot less stressful. Thank you, Grace! Cosmo had a great time with you.
