“This was my first time trying rover and Sydney made the process smooth and stress free. She communicated every step of the way and took great care of Purrcy. I would 100% book again.”

“I’ve did multiple bookings with Lexis some drop ins and boarding she is absolutely the best sitter ever! She’s so reliable sticks to her word and is very trustworthy! She checked on my pups every day and even went over and beyond for them. I’m so appreciative that I found her on Rover she deserves so much recognition.

About: I've taken care of dogs most of my life, and learned quite a bit from my vet tech relatives. I'm incredibly patient, attentive and caring. I have a huge soft spot for all animals. I have a ton of experience with smaller breeds of dogs like Yorkies, Pomeranians, Shih Tzus, Chihuahuas, and Maltese. Also fairly experienced with larger breeds like Rottweilers and German Shepherds. I have flexible availability, and can be accommodating of pet owner schedules. I also have some light grooming experience such as bathing and brushing dogs. As well as dressing them. (For those who like to dress their pups in outfits and boots.) I am also willing to go jogging or running with your dog, as it is a fun way to stay in shape! I have open availability and I am flexible! With reasonable advance notice I can most likely be available for any services needed. I have reliable transportation as well. Best of all, I work from home! I live in a dog friendly apartment building that has two dog parks attached. One for large to medium dogs, and a second for small breed dogs.
“Alex and Kate took excellent care of my two kitties while I was away for an entire week. They were excellent communicators, sending several pictures and updates everyday. They are trustworthy and caring! I could not recommend them more.”
About: I provide reliable dog walking, drop-in visits, and in-home pet care. I have experience caring for a cat for 17 years and a Maltese for 2 years, so I understand both long-term care and daily pet needs. I’m calm, patient, and good with all temperaments, and I follow routines carefully to keep pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for while keeping owners updated. Pet care is my full-time focus, allowing me to offer availability seven days a week for dog walking, drop-in visits, and in-home sitting. My flexible schedule enables me to provide dependable care, consistent routines, and personalized attention to each pet’s needs. Please feel free to contact me to discuss availability and scheduling. My focus is to keep pets comfortable and secure by maintaining their normal routine in their own home while carefully following all care instructions, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, medication, and playtime. I also provide regular updates so owners feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for at all times.
“Melissa is absolutely wonderful! This is my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She made sure to send me photos, videos, and updates each visit, and I felt incredibly comfortable with her in my home! You can tell she truly cares and interacts with your pet. Absolutely recommend, and will use her in the future to watch my little guy!”
“When our regular boarding facility fell through I found Lailah at literally the last minute! Lailah is trustworthy and responsible and cared for our 2 boys over the Labor Day weekend by doing two drop-in visits per day to feed and walk them. This was our first time having someone drop in our home and we felt at ease with Lailah and our dogs loved her. The pictures and updates were greatly appreciated. We were able to enjoy our weekend getaway knowing that they were in good hands. Lailah is our new dog sitter!”
“Olivia was a fantastic sitter for our cats. It took no time at all for them to get accustomed to a new person. I have booked and rebooked her in the past and would have no problem continuing to do so. As an added bonus, she was a great photographer, so I always looked forward to her updates! I couldn’t recommend her enough.”
About: I work from home and have a flexible schedule with very few weekly meetings, which means I’m able to give your pup plenty of attention and take them on walks throughout the day. Your dog will enjoy regular exercise, playtime, and companionship. I’m also a proud dog parent to three of my own “dog-kids,” each with their own unique size, age, and personality.

What I offer: - Frequent walks and outdoor time - Personalized care based on your dog’s routine and preferences - Experience with multiple dogs at once - Safe, loving, and attentive environment I work full time from home and don't have many meetings throughout my day so am able to tend to your dog's every need at any moment. - Frequent dog walks and play time - The apartment complex I live in has it's own walking trail. - Medicine administration provided if needed
About: I’m a 19 year old college student who currently isn’t working, so I spend most of my time at home. I have a small Maltese Shih Tzu mix that I’ve had for almost nine years, and he’s a big part of my daily life. I love taking him on walks, bringing him to the dog park, and just going out with him in general because I truly believe all pets deserve to enjoy fresh air and have a good day outside. I also have experience caring for other animals, since I’ve looked after friends and family members pets, including dogs, cats, and even bunnies. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, making sure they feel safe, cared for, and happy. My schedule is pretty flexible overall. I attend college Monday through Thursday, but my classes are only about three hours each day. Outside of that, I’m usually at home, which gives me plenty of time and availability to care for pets, take them on walks, and give them the attention they need. I’m free most afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I can easily adjust my routine to fit different pet care needs. I live in a small apartment but i’ll make sure your furry friends has a bunch of company from me and my dog 😊 i’ll keep you updated and make sure they get treated like royalty😇
“Macie was very diligent to take care of my 2 cats. She follows instructions well and was able to exceed my expectations. I will definitely book her again.”
About: I have over 16 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Throughout this time, I have personally owned and trained multiple dogs, focusing on leash manners, basic obedience (sit, wait, leave it), and reliable potty training. I currently have three dogs of my own—a 70 lb Australian Shepherd mix, a 15 lb Chihuahua/Pomeranian mix, and an 8 lb Yorkie—which has given me strong experience managing both large and small breeds. I am attentive, patient, and committed to providing safe, loving, and dependable care for every dog I work with. Pet care is already a consistent and important part of my daily routine. I currently work from home with a very flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my day around the needs of the dogs in my care. I am able to take regular walking breaks, provide timely feeding, playtime, and bathroom breaks, and adjust my availability to accommodate different schedules and last-minute requests when needed. Because I am home throughout the day, I can give dogs my full attention, monitor their behavior and safety, and ensure they receive both the physical exercise and positive interaction they need. This flexibility allows me to be dependable, responsive, and fully committed to providing high-quality, reliable pet care on a daily and weekly basis. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat them with the same respect and attention as I do my own. I carefully follow all provided instructions regarding feeding, walking, medication (if needed), and household routines. I make sure pets are exercised, fed on schedule, and given plenty of positive interaction and supervision.

Hackensack Riverfront pet parents share their Rover experiences
Joyce is fantastic! She always gives me the best rover card descriptions of my 3 cats. She makes sure they are playing and well entertained. Our cats have very specific diets and eating locations. She accommodates and supports their needs super well. Joyce is my favorite sitter out of the 5 other sitter I have used in the past years on Rover. I definitely recommend!
Alekhandra did an amazing job taking care of our cat, Mila, while we were away on a 3 week trip. She was very communicative with anything that popped up and took immediate action to solve any issues with Mila’s feeder or bathroom habits. I did not worry about Mila at all while I was gone because I knew she was in safe hands with Alekhandra! Thank you so much again 🫶🏼
As sad as it makes me, I will inevitably have to leave my sweet old kitty home for few days now and then and when I do, I'm calling Yun directly. She handled every challenge Leila could think to throw at her, from vomit to screaming to trying to follow her out of the apartment, like a seasoned pro. She sent videos and photos every evening she came to check in on Leila. She played with her and fed her and checked the litter box and reported back to me daily. She was amenable to last minute changes. When my cat was refusing food and throwing up clear liquid I asked Yun to pill her, although we hadn't spoken about it before I left, and she was game. Leila quit her hunger strike by day 2 though so we were able to hold off on dosing her. Leila can be a handful and I was super impressed by and beyond grateful for Yun checking in on her throughout the week.
Jess has cared for Des for several times now, and the trust I have in her is hard to overstate. She is incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and communicative, especially with Des’ occasional GI quirks, and it’s obvious from the way she interacts with him that she genuinely loves and cares for him. I always come home to a happy, relaxed cat and an apartment somehow cleaner than when I left. Having someone I trust this deeply with Des gives me enormous peace of mind when I travel.
Anthony was amazing! I reached out last minute to see if he could take my puppy Ginny out, and he was super responsive and accommodating. He showed up right on time, was great with her, and clearly knows how to handle dogs with care and patience. Ginny came back happy and well taken care of, which gave me so much peace of mind. I really appreciated his flexibility and reliability. I would definitely book him again!
Feiran has been an excellent sitter for my cat, Monkey. She’s consistently reliable, responsive, and easy to coordinate with - even on short notice. She handled everything from drop-ins to unexpected situations (like a feeder issue and litter box concerns) calmly and proactively, keeping me updated and making sure Monkey was taken care of. She pays attention to details and follows instructions closely, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She’s also great with animals-Monkey warmed up to her quickly. Overall, highly recommend. I’d absolutely book her again.
