“Charlie is amazing!! He took great care of our dog Kira, ensuring she was well-fed, exercised, and given lots of attention. He was attentive to her needs, especially given her sensitive stomach, and kept us updated with regular check-ins. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend! Let me know if you want any tweaks!”

“Andrew was great with Toby and Harley. He kept me updated on how they were doing. Sent photos and videos showing that all was well. Was excellent with Harley the more reserved of the 2. He has care and concern for the pets in hi his care. Both Harley and Toby enjoyed having Andrew as their sitter. I would recommend Andrew !!!!”

“I felt very comfortable leaving my 2 cats in Leticia’s care. Very reliable and consistent with timing. I received daily updates including photos. I highly recommend Leticia for your pet sitting needs.”

About: Hi, I’m your dedicated dog walker servicing Passaic, Clifton, Garfield, Wallington, Paterson, Carlstadt, Lodi, Nutly, East Rutherford, Rutherford and Wood-Ridge areas ! I specialize in energizing morning walks and calming evening strolls—perfect for a balanced day. Whether your dog needs a brisk exercise session or a gentle, sniff-filled adventure, I tailor every walk to their needs. I offer one-on-one care or small-group walks, adjusting for weather, so your pup is always comfortable—shorter play if it’s hot, and extra attention if needed. I also have a background in caring for cats, puppies, fast walkers, and senior dogs—including those who need extra exercise for weight management. With one-on-one, thoughtful care, I’ll make every walk the best part of your dog’s day! My services are available daily between 9 a.m. and 11:30 a.m., and I also have availability between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. The earlier slot from 8 to 9 a.m. is already booked, and I have other commitments after noon. I’m happy to adjust for your pet’s needs—whether it’s walks, feeding, or playtime—so feel free to reach out, and we’ll coordinate a time that works best. Safety and trust are at the heart of my pet care services. I ensure every visit is calm, secure, and tailored to your pet’s comfort. I keep a close eye on their environment—ensuring they have a safe space, secure handling, and plenty of enrichment. You can rest assured that your pet is in caring, experienced hands every step of the way.

About: I am a (human) doctor and your pets safety is my priority! I know that peace of mind when you’re gone is the most importantly, and you can be sure I’ll take care of your pet like I have my friends and families. They have trusted me for many years to care for and play with their furry members! My work is remote and flexible in hours so I am very available any day other than Tuesday. I am happy to give your dog(s) the attention they need! I treat every dog and home with respect—I know that your needs may differ from my last clients, so I will always follow your instructions with care. I am attentive to detail and really love animals. They deserve the best, and I promise to deliver that.
About: For a little over four years I've been the go-to pet sitter for my coworkers when they go on vacation. I've researched all things related to dogs pretty much from the moment I learned to use a computer because I've spent almost all my life trying to convince my parents to get a dog. Spoiler alert, I was unsuccessful ): but not for lack of trying ("dogs are too big of a financial commitment" according to them... but four kids isn't??? but I digress lol)! Training has always been fascinating to me, it never fails to amaze me how smart dogs are! Overall I just love their energy and how loving they can be, being around dogs is truly therapeutic and does wonders for your mental health! You're so blessed to have one in your life and I would be honored to care for them (: <3 Sunday-Wednesday and Friday I work 7-3 and I’m off all day on Thursday and Saturday! Currently taking a break from school, so as soon as I get out of work I'll be free to devote my time to your doggies (: I live in a big apartment with a home office that I turn into the doggy room essentially although they are welcome to roam throughout the apartment of course! My neighborhood is very walkable (one of my favorite things about where I live) and I’m about a mile and a half away from like 3 parks!
“Amelia was absolutely wonderful with Luli. From the beginning, she was kind, attentive, and super easy to communicate with. Luli can be a little reserved around new people, but she warmed up to Amelia almost right away. Amelia sent thoughtful updates, photos, and videos. It was clear she wasn’t just doing the basics but was actually spending quality time with Luli, making sure she was comfortable, well-fed, and had her usual little routines. I came home and Luli was relaxed and happy and the apartment was clean. I’Il definitely be reaching out to Amelia again next time I’m away. Highly, highly recommend!!”

“Tatiana was great! She took the time to meet before the day she was going nj to Dogsit. She sent lots of updates and photos and was a joy to communicate with. Thank you Tatiana!”

“Andrea was so amazing looking after Remy, really caring approach, great updates throughout the day and having fun with him. Remy was still recovering from his neutering surgery and Andrea cared for him so well. Will definitely have Andrea back to see Remy!”

About: If you give me the opportunity to care for your pet, you'll feel at ease knowing I'll take care of it as if it were my own. I'll give it all the love and attention it needs to make you feel happy. Right now I'd like to dedicate myself solely to animals and their care. I have every day of the week free to dedicate myself to them. For me, all animals deserve the same treatment and care. I always give them my best, no matter the occasion. I will always give you all my love, attention and you will never lack my care.
About: Animals have always been family to me. I grew up with dogs and now share my home with two cats who are truly my kids. I’m the kind of pet parent who wakes up in the middle of the night if they need me, or rushes to the vet the moment something feels off. When I lived with my parents, I cared for their two dogs with the same devotion. From daily walks and playtime to the less glamorous tasks, I did it all with love. What sets me apart is my genuine commitment to treating every pet like they’re my own. Whether it’s an energetic puppy needing play and structure, or a senior pet who deserves patience and gentle care, I bring reliability, compassion, and the kind of attentiveness that gives pet parents peace of mind. With me, your pets will feel safe, loved, and cared for as if you never left. I work full-time as a Human Resources Benefits Administrator monday through friday 8–5, but outside of those hours I’m available for pet care. On Fridays I work remotely, which gives me extra flexibility. I can do daytime visits, evenings, or overnight care the night before. I make sure to plan around my work schedule so your pets get the attention they need. On Saturdays and Sundays, I’m fully available for drop-ins, walks, or overnight care. I care for pets like they’re my own. I follow your routines so their day feels normal and stress-free, whether it’s mealtime, playtime, or quiet time. I keep things clean and safe by refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, and tidying up after walks or play. Every pet is different, I pay attention to what makes them happy, extra cuddles, space to relax, or more play.
“Alexandra took good care of our fur baby, Bootsie, while we are away. She made sure that Bootsie gets his meds on time, provided the attention and care he needs. She keeps him company and gave him the treats occasionally. Alexandra also learned about administering the subcutaneous fluid injection on Bootsie daily - a new skill that should be added in her resume. Bootsie is grateful for Alexandra's company and for providing him the tender loving care in our absence.”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and they are my best friends! Cant wait to make new ones and take care of your furry friends! I’m currently working at a school during the week between the hours of 8:30-3:30 but make sure to plan no events after if I am taking care of a furry friend for longs walks and hangouts! We have a big back yard with lots of space to run around and 2 furry friends that are always around to keep the new furry friends company.
“Elissa was a great sitter for our 13 week old pup. She took her time to meet and get comfortable with our puppy. She was in constant communication with us throughout the day and sent us pictures and updates on her behavior. We felt really comfortable leaving her in our house and everything was kept neat and tidy. We would absolutely recommend her as a pet sitter.”


“Camille was absolutely amazing with our fur-baby. She was super responsive, on time and willing to help in any way. She also sent us pictures of them napping together, hiking in the park together and just having a great time. We found it amusing that we were the one's on vacation but our dog came out of it looking like she had the best time. Highly recommended!”

Elmwood Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Joeli took fantastic care of Boomer! It was our first time using Rover for an overnight sitter (without first getting to know someone with walks) and she was great! Watched our pup for - 5 day trip. She had Excellent communication and we came home to a happy dog an a clean house.

James was wonderful with Brio. Our much loved dog gets anxious and grumpy when we leave him in someone else's care, so we were delighted to see videos of Brio playing in the yard early in our trip. James was just the reassuring presence Brio needed! We were truly appreciative of his care, and look forward to having him back.

Taina watched our dog for 10 days while we were on vacation and she was great! Our dog generally doesn’t open up to anyone quickly and always barks at strangers, but she let Taina pet her belly the very first time they met which was such a pleasant suprise lol. She was great with our dog and kept updating us on the latest with her. We’d hire Taina for our dog again!

Lesly was wonderful with our little anxious pup Holly. Holly warmed up to her quickly and she was very attentive while giving her the space she needed. It was clear Holly had been well taken care of when we got home. Would definitely have her watch our puppy again!
