Michael did a great job caring for our senior dog and hermit crab while we were away. He ensured our dog was walked at the times we specified and was fed and medicated as needed. He sent regular updates with picture and videos to keep us informed throughout our time away. Based on our security footage, our dog really enjoyed Michael’s company. Michael also took good care of our house and left everything in order at the end of his stay. I would definitely recommend Michael!

About: I cared for my yellow Labrador, Sparky, for 12 years. From puppyhood to his senior years, our daily walks, playtime, and belly rubs were some of my favorite ways to connect and spend quality time together. Over the years, friends, family members and neighbors have also trusted me to care for their pets while they were away. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or providing companionship during vacations, I’ve always treated every pet like my own, with patience and love. Your pet’s safety, comfort and happiness are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and caring looking after your furry family member, and I’m here to provide that peace of mind. I work full time during the week, so I’m available for walks after 5pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends. I am also available for house visits and stays from Wednesday evenings after I get out of work through Sunday evenings. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect and care I would my own. I understand how important it is to maintain your pet’s routine in a familiar environment, and I always aim to create a calm, comfortable, and safe experience. During visits, I follow your instructions closely, ensure your pet is fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention, and keep you updated with regular check-ins. Daily walks were one of my favorite bonding activities with my dog, Sparky, so I truly understand how important they are for both physical health and mental stimulation. Whether your pup loves a leisurely stroll or a more energetic walk, I tailor each outing to their pace and personality. Safety is my top priority. I make sure the leash is secure, stay alert to surroundings making sure it is a safe area to walk in, and follow your dog’s routine and preferences. I make sure walks are not only safe but also enjoyable, giving your dog a chance to explore, exercise and return home happy and relaxed.

I highly recommend Charlie as a dog sitter! He took wonderful care of our grandma Carlee over the busy 4th of July weekend. At 15, Carlee is very low maintenance but has some special needs. Charlie was attentive to all of them and we especially appreciated seeing her so comfortable and cozy in the updates he provided whenever we requested them. We weren't able to respond immediately to early questions about her care, but it was clear that Charlie had everything under control. When we returned home, Carlee was safe, happy, and clearly well-cared for. That's all that truly matters, and we're so grateful for Charlie's excellent service!

Alexandra is so so wonderful! Whenever I go away and have her stay with my 3 dogs, I never worry because know they are being cared for by someone I fully trust. She is kind and thoughtful. Alexandra sends photos every day and makes sure to update me about everything! She allows me to relax when I leave and that’s the most wonderful feeling! Thank you for being amazing to my fur babies 🥰

Rachel was FANTASTIC with our 70+ pound Rottweiler/Husky with separation anxiety. She played and engaged with him when his energy was up, and let him lounge and rest when he needed it. We got frequent photo and text updates (and she takes really great doggy photos), and she even did an art project with him. He was happy and relaxed when we got home. Would definitely use her again for dog sitting in our home and might event try boarding him in her home when the need comes up. Thanks Rachel!

About: I grew up in the Philippines from when I was born till I was 19. And for those years we have always had a dog in the house. Most at one time was 6 dogs. All are trained and well taken care of from the moment they were born or adopted. Giving them their best lives is all that they deserve from us, these furry friends will love us unconditionally. It’s my job to make sure that they feel that same love back. I am currently working part time on a few jobs around the Montclair/Bloomfield area. I plan to return to school for my doctorate but for the mean time caring for pets have always been a love of mine and I will do my very best to make sure your little (or big) buddies get the attention they require. Depending on the breed of dog and their individual energy levels, their playtimes would vary from either indoor activities like tug of war, sensory activities like training their sense of smell with treats, or more outdoor backyard stuff like fetch, making sure all their zoomies are taken outside before they cause a mess inside the house. Making sure that each pet is well stimulated and given and good amount of food and water after tends to get them in a lot calmer mood as the sun begins to dim

Izabella watched Rae for TWO WEEKS while we were in Spain. We came back to a happy healthy dog who was obviously very well cared for. She sent us picture updates daily (at least two a day) and would comment on Rae’s little quirks which made us feel very comfortable, knowing our girl was super comfortable with Izabella. Wonderful experience, thank you so much!!!! 😊

About: Hello! I’m Denise. I am a pet parent and have trained and raised small dogs for 20 years. I am currently raising a small dog that I care and love for so I understand the quality of proper care when a pet’s family is away. I plan to have my dog at home with your dog if you’re ok with it. Both dogs will eat, walk and play together freely. I don’t cage unless told otherwise. I work full time Monday to Friday, 9 - 5. I plan to pet sit weekends: Friday 12pm into the evening and all day Saturday and Sunday. I live in an apartment so I will plan frequent walks around the block and play time at local dog parks. Whatever the owner is open to is how I will host pets.

About: I've loved animals my whole life and have been around cats in one way or another for most of my life. I grew up with multiple cats and I've been taking care of my cat Cole since adopting her in 2018 as a kitten. I've been volunteering at a cat shelter for several years as a socializer and love visiting as many cats as I can when I'm there (I always stay longer than my shift). I love them dearly, always want what's best for them, and would treat your cat with the same care concern I'd treat for my own. I'd be happy to provide drop-in visits for feedings/etc or to provide your cat with some play/social time! I love meeting new cats and taking in their unique quirks! While I've had a lot more exposure to felines, I'd also happily walk/spend time with your dog. I've had a lot of good experiences with them as well - me and my landlady's dog are good pals! I'm between jobs at the moment, so I am fairly flexible in terms of availability with some notice. Sunday is my day for volunteering, though I can potentially swap my shift in an urgent situation. I'm happy to arrange for shorter/longer visits on single/recurring basis. Can assist with feedings, playtime or just hang out and provide them a loving lap! Also happy to provide photo/video updates of your fur babies to help put your mind(s) at ease!

About: Small breeds up to 30 lbs. I'm a passionate pet sitter who adores animals, providing exceptional care privately for the last 13 years, and with Rover for the last 5 years. Ever since I was young I noticed I tend to attract animals and vice versa. Over the years I turned my passion into a hobby and began caring for friends/family's pets, as well as having my own. I believe pets are more than just companions -they're cherished members of the family; my empathetic nature helps me understand pet parents' concerns, making me the perfect companion for your pets. Whether it's a cat, dog, or exotic pet, I treat them as my own. I will make sure your fur babies have a Pawsome time!!! I have a flexible schedule during the week, and available all weekend-which allows me to provide individualized care for your pets. Serving Passaic and Bergen counties. I am Pet-CPR Certified by The American Red Cross A meet and greet is required before the service, to ensure your pet and I are a great match. I will take all the sanitary precautions during our meet and greet and will be diligent in following your instructions to provide the best care.

About: Hi, I'm Vivian! I've been caring for pets for over 10 years—everything from energetic puppies to wise senior pets. I have personal experience with a variety of breeds, including Pomskies, Labradors, and cats with special needs. Whether it's daily walks, feeding routines, medication administration, or just giving belly rubs and playtime, I treat every pet like they're part of my family. I'm attentive, reliable, and always aim to make your pet feel safe and loved while you're away. I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs, and I take the time to get to know them and follow your care instructions to a tee. Let me help make your time away stress-free—for both you and your pet! Pet care is my full-time focus, and working from home gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Whether it's morning walks, midday playtime, or evening routines, I’m able to stay present and responsive to each pet’s needs. My remote work lifestyle means I can offer dependable care, accommodate last-minute requests, and maintain a calm, reassuring environment for pets. Caring for animals is more than part of my routine—it’s something I genuinely love and prioritize every day. Whether your pet is crashing at my place or I’m swinging by yours, I’m all about making them feel safe, happy, and loved. My home is pet-friendly, cozy, and full of good vibes—perfect for lounging, playing, and getting spoiled with attention. I stick to their usual routines to keep things familiar and stress-free (yes, even the quirky ones!). During drop-in visits, I make sure your pets get everything they need—from meals and belly rubs to a little playtime and TLC. I treat every pet like they’re my own and every visit like it’s the highlight of my day (because it is). Basically, your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priority—whether they’re hanging out with me or waiting for you at home!

About: I have fostered 10+ dogs and cats. I have always been considered as main care taker for all animals my family has taken care of. Including walking, bottle feeding, care for injuries and recovery, etc. I’m comfortable with all breeds of dogs and cats and familiar with breeds specific requirements. On a Daily basis since my part time job is unpredictable but communication is key anything can be arranged as the best of my ability. I do have pets at the moment in my apartment and from experience from having puppies and cats closely monitoring usually 4 hour window to make sure their needs are met. Moreover, dogs that come from harsh situations I tend to be calm and use positive enforcement to have a peaceful environment and hopefully help them to thrive.

Denise is a very caring, knowledgeable, responsible and loving pet parent so I’m sure she will be excellent with others’ pets as well and treat them as her own. She knows what pets need and want to be happy and healthy. No matter what she has going on she is always on top of her dog, Penelope’s schedule and needs. Not only is Penelope her bestie, she is also like a daughter to her. Penelope lives a life worthy of envy! If she isn’t chowing down on quality food, or on her throne as the Queen of Denise’s condo, she’s out for a lovely stroll with Denise or hanging out with her grand ‘pup’ parents.

No matter the role, when it comes to having someone who will care for your fur baby as if it were his own, you cannot go wrong with Andrew. Andrew grew up in a home where cats were always a part of the family. Through the years, his love for all types of animals has only intensified. He has been volunteering his time at Tabby’s Place, a cat sanctuary in Hunterdon County, for two years now and is hoping to turn his love of animals into a profession. I am certain you will find Andrew to be responsible, trustworthy, and nurturing in caring for your pet.

Elizabeth was absolutely amazing while watching our 2 dogs and 2 cats while we were away! She gave us daily updates along with photos. She was very patient with them and gave them a lot of love and cuddles. I definitely recommend her and plan on rebooking her in the future if she is available!

Karen is a great dog sitter. She took care of my little chihuahua for a week, she sent me pictures every day and kept me updating. When I came to get my dog she was super happy and Karen made sure she was feed and went outside, I definitely recommend her!

About: Hi, I'm Vivian! I've been caring for pets for over 10 years—everything from energetic puppies to wise senior pets. I have personal experience with a variety of breeds, including Pomskies, Labradors, and cats with special needs. Whether it's daily walks, feeding routines, medication administration, or just giving belly rubs and playtime, I treat every pet like they're part of my family. I'm attentive, reliable, and always aim to make your pet feel safe and loved while you're away. I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs, and I take the time to get to know them and follow your care instructions to a tee. Let me help make your time away stress-free—for both you and your pet! Pet care is my full-time focus, and working from home gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Whether it's morning walks, midday playtime, or evening routines, I’m able to stay present and responsive to each pet’s needs. My remote work lifestyle means I can offer dependable care, accommodate last-minute requests, and maintain a calm, reassuring environment for pets. Caring for animals is more than part of my routine—it’s something I genuinely love and prioritize every day. Whether your pet is crashing at my place or I’m swinging by yours, I’m all about making them feel safe, happy, and loved. My home is pet-friendly, cozy, and full of good vibes—perfect for lounging, playing, and getting spoiled with attention. I stick to their usual routines to keep things familiar and stress-free (yes, even the quirky ones!). During drop-in visits, I make sure your pets get everything they need—from meals and belly rubs to a little playtime and TLC. I treat every pet like they’re my own and every visit like it’s the highlight of my day (because it is). Basically, your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priority—whether they’re hanging out with me or waiting for you at home!

About: I have fostered 10+ dogs and cats. I have always been considered as main care taker for all animals my family has taken care of. Including walking, bottle feeding, care for injuries and recovery, etc. I’m comfortable with all breeds of dogs and cats and familiar with breeds specific requirements. On a Daily basis since my part time job is unpredictable but communication is key anything can be arranged as the best of my ability. I do have pets at the moment in my apartment and from experience from having puppies and cats closely monitoring usually 4 hour window to make sure their needs are met. Moreover, dogs that come from harsh situations I tend to be calm and use positive enforcement to have a peaceful environment and hopefully help them to thrive.

I was a little hesitant because my baby is pretty rambunctious so I was worried it might not be a good match. However when I picked him up he was calmer than I ever seen him before she even trimmed his face perfectly (with my permission) which was an amazing addition! I can tell she’s very patient and is my go to for when I need a pet caregiver! Very happy client!!!!!

Yong is awesome and our fur babies Jupiter, Leo and Lia absolutely love him. Yong is very patient with our babies and took great care of them while we were out on vacation. Yong messaged us pictures everyday and kept us updated. We were at peace during our vacation because of how Yong took care of our babies. Yong also offered additional support watering my plants.

Lakshmi was an excellent cat sitter and we’d highly recommend her! To start, she took the time to do a thorough introductory call with us which we appreciated. During her stay, she was extremely communicative with frequent updates, was very considerate of how she interacted with our cat and apartment, and adhered to our relatively detailed set of care instructions. We would gladly work with her again.

Lia is attentive and so caring with my three cats and senior dog. She’s extra communicative, sending pictures every day…often multiple times a day. I booked her for another stay before the first one was even over. I highly recommend her. ♥️

Julia may have been better with my animals than I am. She stayed with them for a week and didn’t have any problems. My 18 year old dog has senior issues and Julia was able to make him comfortable enough to eat while we were away. He also had no accidents in the house while in her care. Julia kept in contact with us the entire week. I have the utmost confidence that she would care for your animals in the same Loving way she did for ours.

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!

I highly recommend Charlie as a dog sitter! He took wonderful care of our grandma Carlee over the busy 4th of July weekend. At 15, Carlee is very low maintenance but has some special needs. Charlie was attentive to all of them and we especially appreciated seeing her so comfortable and cozy in the updates he provided whenever we requested them. We weren't able to respond immediately to early questions about her care, but it was clear that Charlie had everything under control. When we returned home, Carlee was safe, happy, and clearly well-cared for. That's all that truly matters, and we're so grateful for Charlie's excellent service!

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!

Gus was amazing!! This was our first time leaving our pup and Gus definitely made us feel very comfortable and at ease. He listened to all of our information about Benny and was very responsive. He was attentive to Benny the whole time and sent photos and updates. We will definitely use Gus again and will be recommending him.

Kristina is an exceedingly thoughtful, responsible, and caring dog sitter. She was able to build trust and get cuddles and belly rubs from our two anxious and reactive rescue dogs. It was our first time leaving the dogs with someone and we were really worried they wouldn’t warm up to anyone new to them. Kristina agreed to scheduling walks for a few weeks to allow time for the dogs to get to know her. Her patience and gentle persistence paid off. I know the dogs were sad to see her go. We will definitely be scheduling her again for our next family vacation. Thank you, Kristina!
