“Was such a blessing and relief to have you both take care of my baby girl. This was her first experience being babysat by strangers and she absolutely loved it! She came home and rested all evening. Thank you so much for spoiling her.”

Celeste L.

“Cooper loved her time over at Gabriela's house! We ended up picking her up later than expected, and her and her family was so sweet and understanding. We'll definitely be using her again!!”

“Alessandra was absolutely amazing with Dottie! As a young puppy, I was a little nervous leaving her, but Alessandra made me feel completely at ease from the start. She kept me updated with plenty of pictures and messages, and was always very informative about how Dottie was doing throughout her stay. It was clear that Dottie was getting lots of love, attention, and great care, and I really appreciated how communicative Alessandra was the entire time. Knowing Dottie was happy and in such good hands gave me so much peace of mind. I couldn’t be happier with our experience and will definitely be booking with Alessandra again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy sitter! Alessandra was absolutely amazing with Dottie!

“Vera was a great sitter to sesame. She was extremely thorough, asked questions and very caring to sesame especially when it comes to his anxiety. Sesame seemed to get comfortable around Vera very quickly. Definitely recommend Vera”

Jacky N.

“Very happy to have found Zoe (and her husband) on Rover to take care of Noodle. From the very beginning, Zoe was professional, friendly, and clearly passionate about caring for dogs. Zoe was responsive to all the questions and concerns prior to the booking. She kept me updated with messages and photos during day care. It was clear that Noodle was well cared for and loved during his stay. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”

About: Pups Sanctuary is a cozy, home based space Veronika and George created together with one goal: to give every pup a safe, comfortable, and genuinely home like experience while their family is away We bring 15 years of hands on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, needs and routines. We work as a team, which means your pup has two people looking out for them and providing plenty of attention, companionship, walks, playtime, cuddles, and supervision throughout their stay We share our home with Brando, our friendly 10-year old Morkie (Maltese/Yorkshire Terrier mix), who is gentle with other dogs and enjoys having canine visitors around Our home is filled with plants 🌱, cozy couches, soft blankets, sunny spots to lounge, and plenty of comfortable spaces where pups can relax and settle in. We also have separation gates and multiple areas throughout the home so we can give dogs their own space whenever needed Because we work from home, our pups are rarely left alone for long periods. They can enjoy regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, enrichment, affection, and plenty of opportunities to simply hang out with us and feel like part of the family At Pups Sanctuary, we believe great care starts with understanding each dog as an individual. We’re happy to follow your pup’s normal feeding schedule, walking routine, sleeping preferences, crate routine, medications, and any special instructions that help them feel secure Whether your dog loves long walks, play sessions, belly rubs, following us from room to room, lounging on the couch, or finding a quiet cozy corner for a nap, we adjust our care to their personality and routine Drop-Off & Pick-Up Times: Keeping our home calm and giving every pup a comfortable experience is very important to us. Drop-offs begin at 9:00 AM If you need an earlier drop-off, we ask that your pup stay with us the night before and arrive before 9:00 PM We generally do not accept drop offs or pick ups after 9:00 PM. We understand travel plans can change, and we may occasionally be able to make an exception. Whenever possible, though, we prefer for your pup to enjoy an extra night with us and be picked up the following morning. This helps us avoid late night arrivals or departures disrupting pups who are already relaxed and settled in for the evening Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always our priority. We want Pups Sanctuary to feel less like boarding and more like a warm, peaceful home away from home We look forward to welcoming you and your pup to Pups Sanctuary! 🐾🌱 My partner George works remotely and I have hybrid mode, so there will be always someone to spend quality time with your furry family member I like to care for them as the owner would. Any specific training or special need for a pet, I'm flexible and happy to do

“Danielle was great with Walnut, who is a nervous little guy and has separation anxiety. She was good about giving him the space to warm up to her on his own terms, which I really appreciated. 10/10 will send him to her again”

About: Hi there! I'm a tech consultant & music creative working from home in Downtown Jersey City / Bergen-Lafayette Communipaw. I have over 15 years of experience in dog walking & drop-in pet care (cats and dogs) as well as a flexible schedule, and I'm excited to get to know your furry friend! I have a lifelong love for animals and will ensure your pet will get all the special attention, affection, exercise, and care they need during our time together. I'm comfortable walking dogs of most sizes and needs, and will prioritize your pet's safety and comfort during our time together. I'll also definitely send you some silly pics of your pet when we're together! I have a flexible work-from-home schedule (usually free from 10am to 8pm) and don't mind traveling around the city to walk or care for your pet. I keep my Rover calendar up-to-date; I am generally available afternoons, evenings, and/or weekends during the day for walking and pet care. Open communication and transparency between you and me is critical: please let me know about any requests or instructions you may have, and any specific preferences or no-gos for your pet; the most important thing to me is that you and your pet feel as safe and comfortable as possible. I currently don't have any pets (downfalls of living in a small studio), so your pet will get all of my quality time!

“Nicole is the best rover in the area! My Penny adores her and her pup, Churro! After going through a few different Rovers, we’re so happy we found her!”

About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. My household includes a Doberman Pinscher, a Great Dane, and two Maine Coon cats, so I'm comfortable managing everything from giant breeds and high-energy dogs to independent, affectionate cats. Living with a Doberman has given me experience with intelligent, active dogs that thrive on structure, exercise, and attention. My Great Dane has taught me the unique needs of giant breeds, including gentle handling, patience, and awareness of their size and comfort. My two Maine Coons have helped me develop an understanding of feline behavior, grooming needs, and creating a calm, enriching environment for cats. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their routine, I have the space and resources to provide attentive, reliable care tailored to their individual needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐕🐈 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As the owner of a Doberman Pinscher, a Great Dane, and two Maine Coon cats, my days are already structured around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, exercise, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I work with a flexible schedule that allows me to be present throughout the day for potty breaks, walks, supervised play, and check-ins. Pets in my care receive regular attention rather than being left alone for long periods. My large rooftop deck also provides a convenient space for supervised outdoor time and exercise between walks. I understand the importance of maintaining consistency, so I do my best to follow your pet's normal routine, including feeding times, medication schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions. Whether your pet is energetic and active or prefers a quieter environment, I can accommodate their individual needs and help them feel comfortable and at home during their stay. 🐾 Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment where animals can relax, play, and feel at home while you're away. I share my home with two friendly, well-socialized large dogs—a Doberman Pinscher and a Great Dane—who are accustomed to being around other animals. I carefully manage introductions and always prioritize each pet's comfort level to ensure a positive experience for everyone. One of the highlights of my home is a spacious 1,600-square-foot private rooftop deck, providing plenty of room for supervised outdoor time, fresh air, play, and exercise. Pets are never left unattended outdoors, and all activities are monitored to maintain a safe environment. As a pet owner myself, I understand the trust involved in leaving your furry family member in someone else's care. I'll keep you updated with regular photos, videos, and messages so you can feel confident and connected while you're away. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. 🐾

“Angela and Daniel are SO attentive and caring. They have such a happy and friendly energy that is sure to be felt by our pups. It's very important to them that the pup in their care feels safe and calm. When they'd share photos, it was very apparent that my pup Maple was having a great time and felt totally relaxed. (Maple has separation anxiety - so I was thrilled to see how quickly she felt comfortable and wasn't anxious.) I recommend Angela and Daniel whole heartedly!”

“Grace was flexible and able to accommodate my dog last minute, and was great at giving medicine on time and taking her on walks. And my dog seemed to feel at home right away!”
