“I couldn't have asked for a better first experience! I needed help on very short notice with my newly adopted dog, and she was amazing. She was so patient and understanding with him during this big transition. Her communication was excellent from start to finish, and the updates and photos gave me so much peace of mind while I was at work. It's clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again.”

“Xavier was great! He was on time and patient. I have two dogs with special needs and Xavier took care of them with no issue. He sent plenty of pictures and they clearly were very well taken care of. He was communicative and very helpful!”
“I was definitely skeptical and a little nervous about hiring a dog walker to watch my pup when we went on vacation. My guy is a little more high maintenance than other dogs. He’s not the biggest fan of strangers and other dogs so I knew I needed to make sure I hired the right person for the job. Hiring Scarlet turned out to be the absolute BEST decision we could have ever made. Her communication was fantastic, always letting us know how he was and what her timing was going to be. Things went so well I’m going to be scheduling weekly walks just so they can hang out/see each other on a regular basis. 5 STARS!!!”
“Xiyan was amazing! She was available last minute, super responsive, and made us feel totally at ease. She checked in regularly, gave great updates, and most importantly — kept our pup Frankie safe and happy. You can tell she really cares and has a great energy with dogs. We’re so grateful we found her and would absolutely book her again!”

“Jing was wonderful with Bailey. He was a little nervous today because it’s only a few days in our new apt, so he don’t finish his breakfast. Jing sat with him and hand fed him a couple morsels, helping him to feel comfortable and then he finished the rest on his own. I highly recommend Jing and will definitely use her again!”
“Jennifer is professional and communicative. This is the second time we have booked her (this time it was last minute) and she was flexible! She sends pictures and updates on time frame. Will definitely use her again!!!”
About: I’ve cared for many breeds since such a young age and the one common denominator I’ve noticed in all dogs is- we don’t deserve any of them: They are all truly awesome. I WFH in the afternoon/night and have plenty of time during the day to care for your pup! And when I am WFH id love to take a break with your best friend and go for a walk! I live in a closed complex with plenty of grass by a river. I also live next to a park where I would love to walk with your fur baby!
About: Experienced through own dogs, which my parents and I generationally took care of for 15 years. I also have experience caring for many different breeds at a doggy daycare for 3 years. I work remotely from home, so I’ll be able to provide care throughout the day like walks and feedings. I always schedule my days around the dogs. I like to play with the dogs, but thats kind of difficult when walking, so I do it when we are finished. I also care for them, as if they're my own, by keeping them safe.
About: I’ve been in animal care for 17 years, 15 of them being in a clinical setting. I am well experienced with different species and breeds. I am a precious canine physical therapist so I am very comfortable with special needs/disabled pets. As a vet tech, I am comfortable administering medications and working with aggressive pets. I own Curtis & Friends Pet Care LLC and am dedicated to keeping your pet healthy and active! I am happy to accommodate and work with you to pick the best schedule and routine for your babies. For our boarders, we have a separate room to keep your pets comfortable and relaxed during their stay. Please let me know what your pet enjoys at home, during their everyday routine.
“Jennie is great! She offered to accommodate Petey last minute with her mom. Petey and Busker really like her. Would definitely recommend if you need a reliable, friendly walker/sitter!”
About: Hello! Shamel here! Thank you for taking the time in allowing me to introduce you and your pet to a home you can trust. Whenever my family, friends or neighbors would leave town, our home was always their first choice. All the pups that stay with me are welcomed to our home as family and they all receive the best care from us. I have grown up loving and taking care of dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes. While we don't have a fenced-in yard, we live in a private home on a dead-end street, which gives the pups the opportunity to be walked in a quiet and safe neighborhood. We have two levels your pups can board in; each level has only five steps going up or five steps going down. If you have a mini breed or older fur baby, their safety and knees will be at ease. Our beautiful landscaping and wonderful friendly neighbors will be one of the highlights for your pup's staycation. I truly love doing this so much! I enjoy long walks, feeding, playing, and cuddling with all pups. During their stay, the dogs are never left unattended. We are 100% committed to ensuring each pup has us close-by. Our open floor plan allows us to keep a close eye on everyone. Our lower level allows your pups stay to be as private as needed. We regularly go to the park and walk around our neighborhood. If you have any questions or want to meet and greet, please reach out. We ensure 24/7 service and care for your pets. We can guarantee the best stay, where you can trust we will provide the most love for your pets! We offer a full indoor open floor plan to ensure safety at all times during boarding. We have plenty of open back space where we ensure the pups will be supervised at all times so they can enjoy a playful stay. I have plenty of time set aside daily to play with your furry family member. My schedule is open full day, 7days a week. You will have no worries booking with me and in returning back as a loyal client. I am here at your service I have an open back play area and we live in a beautiful landscaped community. Your pet will enjoy their stay while you can be at ease during your time away. Feel free to bring your pets crate and supplies and we will take care of the rest :)
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. For an easy drop off please bring a kennel (if needed), food, medications, a bed, personal toys or comfort items, a harness, leash and food.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hackensack
Amanda was amazing!! My dog is anxious and takes some time to warm up to people. Amanda took her time with him and they became fast friends! She sent lots of pictures, was always providing updates and just did a wonderful job in general! I cannot recommend her more.. very very happy
Sophia was absolutely amazing with Bishop! From the very beginning, she was kind, reliable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing Bishop was happy, safe, and well cared for. It was obvious he was in great hands and enjoyed his time with her. We are so grateful for the wonderful care she provided and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sophia to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog walker or pet sitter. Thank you, Sophia, for taking such great care of Bishop!
Emily took great care of our dog while we were away!! The communication and care was amazing! Given that the doggy was not feeling his best, she helped him out and updated us how he was doing! And was creative when we hit a snag with the access to our house! Would recommend her care!
I can't say enough about Elizabeth! She was wonderful! I was so worried about finding a dog walker, and she eased my fear. She's definitely confident when it comes to larger breed dogs, the size and look of my dog did not faze her! The initial meet and greet went well! And I think it helped with the relationship between her and my dog.. I'm so relieved that we have someone that we can count on! And someone that my dog likes, and it comfortable to go on walks with! Thanks Elizabeth!! See you next time! 😉
Bryndon is great! Our dog usually barks at everyone that comes in the house. She did not bark at all with Bryndon. She met him at the door and after a few sniffs, sat down so he could pet her! Bryndon was very engaged in learning about Miracle's personality and quirks. He was engaged with her and at the same time maintained full control of her (she can pull at times). Bryndon was also very attentive to everything we shared with him about Miracle and we are very confident that Miracle will be in great hands on her walks with Bryndon.
