“Wonderful experience. He is super attentive and really wants to know your pet's needs. His place is beautiful and with so much space any pet would be happy and comfortable. Would def recommend.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs since age 12, worked alongside a professional trainer, and raised my own Pitbull and I am now raising a Havanese. Experienced with multiple breeds, puppies through seniors, I bring patience, structure, and genuine love. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I maintain a flexible schedule while job searching, allowing me to provide reliable walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and attentive companionship throughout the week. I create a calm, secure environment by following each pet’s routine, monitoring behavior closely, and maintaining clean, pet-safe spaces. I communicate regularly with owners and prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I have fenced in yard and one friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. If needed I also have crates if your baby feels more comfortable in their own safe space.
“Jessica and Butters were wonderful and welcoming for my mini Dachshund, Loki’s first daycare session! 💕 So many pictures showing how much fun he had!! He can’t wait til his next visit. Thank you!!”

About: Experience helping raise puppy/younger dogs and training, also have experience with adult/senior foster dogs. Includes walking, bathing, trips to the dog park, feeding, training, treat/crate training I also looooove brushing dogs, the fluffier the better! I like to stay home on weekends with my senior dog Sapphire. Shes a rescue and very calm (she doesn’t bark) and absolutely loves other dogs! We love to take walks and play on the patio outside. I am pretty much free from Wednesday evenings-Saturday nights! Although I live in an apartment, I keep my living room and general space wide and accessible which is easier and less stressful for the dogs. I have a back patio we can play on (not black so the heat won’t hurt their paws), and have a park and yard across the street! I will give your pup lots of love and cuddles and they will definitely be a little spoiled! I also will feed them in a separate area from my dog but bring them back together to play :)

Ruby is taken out for her walks to the park 3x a day and will add your pet to this regimen if they enjoy the outdoors and being active.
“if I could give ten stars, I would. It is always a little hard to introduce your puppy to a new sitter but as soon as Brady met Stephanie and her family, I kind of laughed at myself for worrying for even one second. Stephanie was knowledgeable about doggies, has some of her own that Brady fell in love with, has a huge yard for them to run around and she was super communicative the whole time I was away. She was accommodating to the late return time too. I would absolutely recommend Stephanie and will be using her again!”

“Josephine’s first stay with Pardeep was seamless. Pardeep was very accommodating with my schedule and provided a safe, calm, enjoyable day for Jo. He kept me up to date on her as the day went on and that is always reassuring. His dogs were friendly and respectful which I greatly appreciate due to Josephine being a senior. I would gladly recommend him and will seek his care for Josephine again soon.”

“Alice is great with my special needs senior dog Porter. He is happy every time he sees her, and she is very responsible with catering to his special needs, allergies and medical conditions. She is very communicative and lets me know any changes observed in Porter during his stay, plus sends cute pictures regularly. I trust her with my deaf/blind senior completely.”

“Erika was very responsive and flexible. She took good care of Peppercorn and kept us updated by the app with detailed updates and tracking of his drinking/eating/toileting schedule. She was very flexible with allowing us to change hours / dates when our schedule changed. Would recommend Erika!”

“It’s our first time with this application and Bhavani was kind enough to guide me through the process … Romeo first time with his sitter was awesome 🫶🥰 he was happy and exited from the moment he went inside her house and made a new friend and happy to leave when the care was over. Bhavani was very informative, detailed , and was almost in communication with me through the day with videos and pictures updates … very nice and spacious backyard for Romeo to run around 😊 followed instructions with food and potty accordingly.. I will definitely choose her over and over again trusting her with our family dog … thank you Bhavani 🫶 for making Romeo stay an awesome and trusted stay.”

“We found Jessica P. when we were in town visiting family and needed to board our pup for the day. Jessica was great — very communicative and easy to work with! She sent plenty of pics to show us that our dog was relaxed and engaged and having a good visit. We would not hesitate to leave our pup with Jessica again for daycare.”


“I was refereed by a friend to Rover app, for my emotional support dog. Hercules was my deceased sons bestfriend who has been with us as a family for 7 yrs, but my emotional support for 4 yrs. I am so thankful to have found Ahmad through the app. He excepted my dog in such short notice yesterday. Ahmad sent photos and gave updates of the care throughout the day. He opened his home to my fur baby. This was my first time ever using the app and Ahmad is my first choice care for Hercules”

“When I met Nasreen I was so happy because I immediately felt she had a kind spirit. She was ready and waiting when I dropped Sampson off. I got cute photos of him during the day. My fur baby was happy and calm when I picked him up so I could tell he had a great day! Thank you Nasreen.”


About: Professional Pet Care with a Loving Touch I bring over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, including seniors and those requiring medication. I’ve shared my life with dogs since I was 13, including three Cocker Spaniels and one Keeshond, all of whom were cherished members of my family. Because my own dogs always lived indoors, I understand and respect the comfort pets find in being part of the home — whether that means a spot on the sofa or a cozy nap on the bed. I take great care to maintain your dog’s potty and feeding schedules, and I make sure they receive plenty of attention, play, and exercise. I’m also a proud mom of two daughters who share my love for animals, and they’ll be just as excited to greet and care for your dog. Whether it’s a senior pup needing gentle care or an energetic dog who loves to run, I provide a safe, affectionate environment. While you’re away, I’ll keep you connected with regular updates and photos, so you can feel at ease knowing your dog is happy, healthy, and in loving hands. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home most of the day, which allows me to give pets constant attention, maintain their routines, and ensure they feel safe and loved. I maintain each pet’s routine, provide their specified diet, offer walks and yard play, ensure exercise, and share relaxing companionship indoors for a happy, stress-free stay.

About: I grew up with a childhood dog (a Yorkie mix) that I got when I was five years old. My dog became an angel last year at the age of fifteen. I unfortunately am not able to get another dog for the time being because I am starting law school in the fall. But, I miss the presence of a dog dearly, which is why I chose to become a sitter. I smile at and care for all animals, and I am excited to meet all of your fur babies! I currently work as a substitute teacher, so my schedule is very flexible. I also will be off relaxing all summer (trying to rest as much as possible before law school starts). I enjoy going on walks at the park and have a very active lifestyle, so I would love to bring your dog along! Although I do not have a fenced backyard, I have a 1.5 acre property with ample space. I will always ask what you are most comfortable with (leash in my backyard or not). I have dog bowls in my home I can use for food and drink. Dogs will always be under supervision in my home.
“From the meet and greet to the stay next day, Kajal was very warm, friendly and caring towards Romeo. She made us very comfortable to leave our little one with her. Kajal made sure she sent us pictures and videos and kept us upto date with him. I know Romeo was in good and trusted hands and would definitely leave Romeo with her in the future.”

Dunellen dog parents share their Rover experiences
Isbath and her family welcomed my puppy Koltrane with open arms. I was grateful that they were able to accommodate me at the very last minute and provide daycare services for 4 days straight. They provided a safe backyard for play and potty breaks, and enrichment time. My puppy tried to run back into the yard the 1st day when I picked him, and was always excited to return and play. They were understanding of all Koltranes excitable energy which made me comfortable with bringing him back. Highly recommended.

Lupe is fantastic!! He is so good with our pup and we feel so grateful to have found him!! He is so friendly and welcoming. He goes above and beyond to make sure all of our dog’s needs are met. We had an emergency and he was super accommodating and made sure that our dog was in good hands. He has an awesome large yard that our dog loves to run in. Highly recommend!
