Top rated Fanwood pet sitters

“I cannot recommend Diana enough! She took such incredible care of our pup, Moose, while we were away. We received regular updates & adorable photos! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and truly dedicated, Diana is everything you’d hope for in a sitter. We’re beyond grateful and will 100% be booking again!”


“Maria was a joy to work with. We coordinated a meet and greet easily and she was great about asking questions and taking notes. We really appreciate her prompt replies, photos and notes from her visit. We will definitely work with Maria in the future!”


“Matthew has been a fabulous friend to my Lara, who has been going through the heartbreak of losing a canine companion and needs extra TLC (along with the occasional pee break). He has been reliable and wonderful to have as a part of her emotional support team (and will soon be the same for a new puppy!)”


“Elaine is truly an angel. She was heaven sent. Our elderly Chihuahua is difficult and she was able to take care of him and made it seem effortless. She even had to sing to him to get him to get out of his bed!!! She sent pictures and communicated in real time. We are very grateful for her and would give a 10 star review if that was an option. Thank you Elaine!”


“Highly recommend! five stars ,very communicative and came promptly”

“Caitlin was a pleasure, very responsive and our pup loved her visits!”


“Talia did a great job watching my dog and cat. She even helped me at the last minute when I had a delayed flight. Will definitely use her again!”


“Chloe is a rare find. She is incredibly thorough and buttoned up- beyond organized with a binder of notes and questions upon meeting you and your pet. She’s exceptionally responsive to check in requests and always goes above and beyond. I came home last night to my mail brought in and she even brought our recycle bin up from the curb. I highly recommend her! So does Oliver ;)”


“Lisa was great! I was so apprehensive about leaving my little dog but she put me at ease? it was nice to receive lots of pictures and I know Derby was well taken care of. I highly recommend Lisa!”


About: I have a dog of my own who is 10 years old. There’s a reason I’m called the dog whisperer — I have a genuine connection with every dog I meet. Through walking and sitting for the dogs of my family, friends, and neighbors, I’ve become well-versed in caring for dogs of all ages — from puppies to seniors. I treat each dog like my own, tailoring my approach to their unique needs. I’m a college student working remotely from home, so my schedule is flexible and I’m available for last-minute requests. With few outside commitments during the summer, I can easily fit pet care into my routine. I’m also comfortable driving pets to the park or other outings as needed. I prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort above all else. I create a calm, secure environment where they feel relaxed and loved. I follow any specific routines or instructions you provide to keep their day consistent and stress-free. Trust is key—I build it by giving attentive, patient care and always keeping open communication with you about your pet’s well-being.

About: I have taken care of gods since I was 10 years old. Responsible, energetic and just fun, I will make sure your dog has a great day . Dog sitting is not my full time job, spending time with dogs is my pet therapy that I need after a full time job 🤣 I can take care of your dog in my home or take them for a walk when you need. My home has a large backyard and I also have a very friendly Corgi who is excited to meet new friends


“Elizabeth is so sweet, warm, and loving! I can tell just how much she loves our dogs and they love her too. We are so excited for Elizabeth to walk our babies every day!”


About: I am a lifelong animal lover who has never lived in a pet-free home. I volunteer at an animal shelter as a walker, so I have experience handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I currently have an 8-year-old rescue pitbull and a 17-year-old senior cat. I work from home full-time with a fairly flexible schedule. I am available for drop-ins or walks early mornings and evenings Mondays-Thursdays, and any time Fridays-Sundays. I believe in a positive reinforcement approach when it comes to animal handling, so you can trust me to care for your pets with love and respect. Please let me know if you have any special requests for training!

“"Booking with Rover and finding the perfect dog sitter was an absolute delight! From start to finish, the experience was seamless and stress-free. The platform's intuitive interface made it easy to browse through a diverse range of experienced sitters, each accompanied by detailed profiles and glowing reviews from other pet owners. After selecting the perfect match for my furry friend, communication was effortless, and I felt reassured knowing that my beloved pet was in capable hands. The updates and photos provided throughout my dog's stay further solidified my confidence in Rover's exceptional service. I highly recommend Rover to any pet owner seeking reliable and loving care for their furry family members."”


“Mike was so great! He is so patient and kept me updated on my pup. It was my first time leaving her with someone so this experience was a little scary for me but he did so well in making me feel like my Ivy is okay! Will defiantly book with him again confidently when I travel again.”


About: Very experienced pet owner with a home full of animals. Responsible, attentive, and great with shy, senior, or special-needs pets. I treat them like family. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. As a rising college senior studying for the LSAT, I balance my time well and care for my pets daily with family support.

“Richie is great. I have booked his services a couple of times to visit our home to take care of our dog Pepper. Richie is reliable, and stays in communication by sending me photos and texts on each visit. Ensured Pepper was fed, had plenty of water, gave treats, and allergy medication. It gives us peace of mind that Pepper is well taken care of while we are away. Also, Richie brought in our mail and packages. If you're looking for someone to care for your furry family member, consider Richie.”
