About: Hi! We’re Lisa and Hojin, lifelong dog lovers who will welcome your pet into our home like a member of our family. Lisa’s love for animals began when she got her first dog at four years old. Since then, she has cared for many dogs and cats and gained hands-on experience with walking, feeding, bathing, and daily pet care. Her father is a veterinarian, so she grew up learning from him how to understand animals and care for them safely and attentively. Hojin is the primary caregiver and is available on both weekdays and weekends. He is an active and attentive dog dad who enjoys walks, playtime, and making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Lisa joins him on weekends, giving your pet even more companionship and affection. We currently share our home with Bacon, our sweet six-year-old neutered Corgi. We understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. Whether your dog stays with us for daycare or boarding, or joins us for a walk, we’ll care for them with patience, attention, exercise, and lots of love—just as we do for Bacon. Hojin is available for pet care throughout the week, including both weekdays and weekends, so he can provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and potty breaks. Lisa helps care for our guests on weekends, providing additional companionship and affection. We can adjust our routine to match your dog’s usual feeding, walking, sleeping, and potty schedule as closely as possible. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always our top priorities. We share our home with Bacon, our friendly six-year-old neutered Corgi. We introduce dogs carefully, supervise their interactions, and provide separate spaces or feeding areas when needed. We follow each owner’s instructions regarding meals, walks, medication, potty breaks, and sleeping arrangements. We do not routinely confine dogs in a crate, but we can follow your dog’s established crate routine if requested. We will also keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.
“I can’t recommend them enough! We were nervous to leave Elsa with anyone, but they were wonderful and treated her like family. The frequent updates kept our minds completely at ease. They were absolutely wonderful and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for many different pets. Growing up, I helped raise two family dogs and cats so I’m comfortable with both indoor pets and larger animals. For 13 years I was the proud mom to my Shih Tzu, Bruno, who taught me just how much love, patience, and daily care go into being a great pet parent. Though he recently passed🙏, the experience of caring for him still shapes how I look after every animal in my care. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or just making sure they’re comfortable and happy while you’re away, I’m here to give them the kind of care you’d want for them. I currently work remotely so I am able to give your pet all the attention they deserve and need. I can leave any time for walks and vet appointments. I’m a responsible and attentive caregiver who takes pet safety seriously. With years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and adapting to each pet’s individual needs.
“Dream dog sitters! They give my dog so much attention, play time with other dogs and outdoors, and cuddles that I don’t think he has a moment free to miss me. And they’re great about making sure that he gets his medications. I feel very fortunate to have found them!”

About: I have years of experience in the caretaking of animals and I’ve always done it with love, my family and friends always trusted me to care for their pets since I was younger and i’ve always enjoyed it. I love every part of taking care of animals whether its grooming, bathing oral medications administration etc… Animals will always hold a special place in my heart. My schedule is very flexible, I usually stay home and do online school work most of the time, so I’m available really anytime on weekdays and sometimes on weekends. I will care for the pets by making sure they are well fed, kept clean and healthy. I live in a very safe neighborhood with a nice park down the street. I have an animal friendly household with fences outside to ensure that the pets wont wander off.
“Yuberkis was fantastic. I was at a 5 day work event that was originally only suppose to be 4 but she was kind enough to extend by a day. My dog can have a lot of energy, she loves being in new places and around other dogs. Shes a beagle so she does a lot of exploring and Yuberkis was so kind and patient with her, i got all the updates i needed and never felt like there was an issue even with my dogs energy levels being high this week.”

“Frances took great care of our dog. She works from home so he got a week of full attention. She communicated frequently with pictures and updates. Very nice person and animal lover.”

“My dog Simon had a wonderful time at Stephanie's home. We took a 7-day getaway, so we were nervous about how he would do. Stephanie kept us updated daily, which eased our worries, and she sent many pictures. Simon didn't miss love or hugs and felt at home. He also made friends with her dog. Thank you for caring for our Simon! 🤗”

“Mykala and her partner took great care of my dog Tails! It was a fairly last minute request for multiple days of boarding so I was very relieved to find good caregivers for him. They provided lots of updates and Tails enjoyed spending time with their dog Boots. I would book again!”

“Michael was great! Ozzy stayed there for a few nights and seemed happy via the updates. He was in great health and seemed comfortable. Michael did a great job with making sure Ozzy adjusted appropriately, giving him his medication and going out of his way to make sure he ate his food as he acclimated. Appreciate the care!”

“Sherrie was wonderful! She’s excellent with routine. She asked all the right questions, followed all instructions, and is a true animal lover. We wanted a mature and responsible caregiver and after our meet & greet we were positive we found The One. After seeing Sherrie with her own sweet dog, we could tell how committed and wonderful she is as a pet owner. Thank you so much to Sherrie and her finance. ❤️ They made our trip worry free and we will book again.”

“Sarah & Danny were wonderful sitters for Penelope! They were flexible, easy to communicate with, and sent regular updates. I would recommend them to anyone in the area and look forward to utilizing their services again for our next travels!”


“Mohini was great with Lola. I reached out to her on the last scheduled day saying I needed her to keep Lola an extra day and she said that would not be a problem. She also shared multiple photos of how Lola was doing. Thanks again Mohini”

“Would absolutely book with chi again. Marty played with so many other cute pups and was fed boiled chicken that they made for him. We got tons of photos and videos.”

“Christian was great. He provided us with an update as to how our dog Foxy was doing in his care and when we did picker up from him, she looked very happy! We would use him again without hesitation!”

“Funda was excellent, we had requested her to take care of Goofy pretty last minute and she took him without any hesitation. Very friendly with us and our Goofy, gentle and loving. Goofy was so at ease with her, even we were comfortable leaving him in her care. She was also very proactive in sending us pictures and video updates of goofy.”

“Maria was fantastic!! She and her family took such great care of Ozzy. He's very anxious at first and scared of new people but within a few hours it looked like he was feeling completely comfortable with them. He looked so happy in all the photos Maria sent us and we felt at peace during our entire trip knowing he was in great hands. Thanks for being so loving with Ozzy, Maria! We hope to let him stay with you again soon!”

Speedy has been staying with Enis over the last 3 years- repeated stays when I am away. Enis is the best! Speedy has a great time and I feel comfortable knowing he is safe and being cared for. Enis is always quick to respond and will send pictures and updates as requested. Speedy looks forward to his next time thereb

Kinjal was absolutely wonderful with Chloe! She was able to take her at the last minute, which I really appreciated. She kept me updated with lots of pictures and videos, so I could see that Chloe was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was being well taken care of. Kinjal is caring, reliable, and very easy to communicate with. I would definitely trust her with Chloe again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter! 🐶❤️

To say Caita was a life saver is putting it lightly. She stepped up and rescued Louie from a very stressful situation. Not only did she drive and pick him up , she treated him like it was her own dog. She went above and beyond what was expected of her and turned a nightmare into a dream . I am beyond grateful for Caita and highly recommend her to anyone !

We had a great experience all around with our booking with Lisa. Her accommodation to provide a safe and welcoming home for our dog was more than satisfactory! She is a professional. I am hyper vigilant when it comes to my dog, and Lisa addressed and reassured me of my every concern. There was an immediate connection between our dog, Lisa, and her family. I highly recommend Lisa for the excellent service that she provides!
Christian and his family were amazing with our 15-year-old Chihuahua, Cocoa. She has some medical needs, and we were nervous to leave her with a stranger for a week. Christian's experience and friendly, calm demeanor put us at ease. He was patient, understanding and gave her time to adjust. He was in regular communication with me throughout the week, and took photos to show how she was doing. She came home happy. We will definitely be in touch with Christian again when we need a sitter. Thanks so much for giving Cocoa a good week, Christian!

The most amazing sitter ever. I received daily pictures of my sweet girl all day. She was living the dream! My flight was delayed and they were available to keep my Rubi an additional day. It was my first time leaving my sweetie with a sitter and first time using rover but I was at ease knowing she was in good hands! Will definitely book again if I ever go away for vacation.

Paloma was great! We had our fur baby on her hand for eight nights. Paloma updated everyday how he was doing during our travel with bunch of photos. Our puppy seem to be very happy on her hand. When we picked him up, he seemed to be so sad to be parted with her and refused to leave. He was healthy and happy when he came back home. I will definitely find her again when we have another occasion that we have to leave him behind.

Oscar was SO EXCITED to go over to Pete's house - I swear, he figured out what was happening 10 minutes beforehand, and waited by the back door for us to let him out. He flew into the house without so much of a backwards glance. Oscar spent several hours with Pete and when he came back home, he was happy and exhausted!! Little snuggle bug went right to sleep. Thank you for keeping him busy and happy, Pete!!!
This was my first Rover experience and it could not have been better. Ashley sent photos of my dog throughout my trip away, so I was never worried. Ashley was incredible, attentive, and so communicative. I would definitely reccomend this service, as well as Ashley, to anyone!

Mariam was absolutely wonderful with my dog and you can tell she genuinely cares. My dog loved her, and her space was so clean and welcoming. She kept me updated with photos and was always quick to respond, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would definitely recommend her and will 100% be booking with her again.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NJ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
