“Christina and her partner were incredibly patient, caring and flexible when it came to caring for my two cats. She was through when following instructions and able to pivot when my cat decided to be less than cooperative. She also was great at communication and put my nervous mind at ease.”

“My boys and I just had our second booking with Andrew and it just keeps getting better!!! He is such an attentive, loving and generous sitter for my boys. I always know my boys are in the best of hands with Andrew!”

“Enis was great with Teddy! This was our first time using Rover and we were very satisfied with the promptness and care Teddy received. Enis was booked somewhat last minute and was very accommodating, came to meet Teddy ahead of time and was able to stop by twice when we were out for the day. We received Rover cards and photos right after each visit which was so nice. Would gladly book Enis again.”

“Nicole was great! Booked drop-ins on pretty short notice and Nicole was flexible & gave great updates & pictures on our kitty who had actually just been missing for a few days & was recovering and had some slight injuries still-she was super sweet & helpful - would definitely use Nicole again!!”


“Best pet service!! I’m truly happy I found Diane and was able to have her taken care of my two kitties while I was gone for vacation. She is very patient and caring for my little ones and has given me the comfort of knowing they were in good hands while I was away! Will totally rebook her on for next getaway ☺️”

“Geoff went above and beyond and I am very happy with his services. Followed all instructions left and is a great communicator. Lucky is looking forward to his next visits from Geoff. Thank you!”

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.
“Yong was an excellent Rover sitter for my cats. He was incredibly diligent, followed every instruction exactly, and made sure their medications were administered properly—which was especially important to me. He was also very communicative throughout the stay, sending plenty of pictures and thoughtful updates that gave me total peace of mind. I came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and would absolutely book with him again.”

“Andrea took such great care of my puppy! She followed all instructions, did some basic training with her and played with her! She has great communication with me and flexible scheduling which is amazing especially having a young puppy !”

“Lillian did a great job for my cat. She uploaded a lot of videos while she was taking care of the cat. While my cat is shy and usually afraid of new people, he quickly got along with Lillian.”

About: I have spent my entire life around animals. My home has been shared with cats, dogs, snakes, birds, a rabbit, an iguana. I was also a veterinarian assistant for over a year. I took care of any and every animal that walked through our doors; cats, dogs, ferrets, birds, rabbits. Animals of all sizes. I walked, fed, bathed and cleaned up after them. I cared for them as if they were my own and will continue to do so with every animal entrusted to my care! I am currently working from home but my schedule can be flexible. My daily job and walk times work around each other so please notify me at least 3 days in advance of your booking date and I will try my best to make it work for you! As stated on my profile, I have a strict 7 day cancellation policy applied and it is automatically enforced by the Rover app. This is due to the nature of my day job as I may need to adjust those hours when scheduling a booking of any kind. Please be mindful of this, thank you. I always make sure their sleeping area is clean and tidy and I always make sure there is available fresh water. Food is given at a schedule dependent on the individuals needs. I give plenty of time for play/attention to ensure that they always feel loved and never lonely. Sometimes they want to be left alone and I respect that as well.

“Grace and her husband are simply amazing! They took care of my two cats like they were their own. I was out of the country for 6 weeks and my trip kept getting extended but Grace was very flexible and patient when it came to needing to book her for longer. They both went above and beyond and I will definitely be booking them again.”

“Peter was great and I would definitely book with him again. He was very thorough, prompt, and followed all of my instructions exactly. I really appreciated the detailed notes he left after each visit, and it was clear from his updates that he took his time and genuinely interacted with my animals instead of just rushing through the visits. He made me feel comfortable knowing my animals were taken care of, and everything was handled professionally from start to finish. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and great with pets.”
