“They were amazing! I have two dogs who never received care outside of boarding and they were communicative, transparent, and provided top care for my dogs. Would leave more stars if I could.”

“Dong was so great! He was super responsive and communicative ahead of the booking and during, and took lots of photos during each drop-in. Dong's professionalism made it so much less stressful to leave my <1 yr old cat for a few days - thank you, Dong!”

“AMAZING! such great communication, lots of pictures and videos and a full description of how my kitty was doing at home. Gave me peace of mind when I was traveling, thank you!”

“Amazing amazing care of my cat! He even came out to see her & say hello 🥹 I received many pictures & she throughly followed everything my cat needed for the visit. She was sweet enough to even clean the gifts he leaves for us when we’re away (throw up 😩). So thankful! She was great! Will definitely book again, so glad we found her 😬😬😬”
“My cat has quite a few special needs, and Kobi did a great job making sure he was well taken care of! She sent pictures everyday either playing or hanging out with my cat which was awesome. I highly recommend her for all your cat sitting needs!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets of family and friends since a young age, which helped me build a strong connection with animals—especially dogs. From daily walks and feeding routines to playtime and companionship, I’m comfortable handling dogs of different personalities and energy levels. I truly enjoy being around pets and understand how important patience, attention, and affection are to their well-being. Spending time with dogs never feels like work to me—it’s something I genuinely love. I recently moved to New Jersey and am currently job searching, which gives me the flexibility to dedicate my time and energy to dog walking and pet care. This allows me to be dependable, responsive, and accommodating to different schedules. Walking dogs fits naturally into my daily routine, keeps me active, and lets me do something I enjoy while providing consistent care for pets whose owners need a helping hand. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I make sure dogs are securely leashed, walked in safe areas and monitored closely at all times. I follow any specific instructions provided by owners. I treat every pet with kindness, respect, and care. You can trust that your dog will be in safe, loving hands with me.
“Kate came over and took great care of our two cats twice a day during our vacation. She gave us great pictures and updates, which allowed us to relax and enjoy our son’s wedding. I highly recommend Kate & Alex for your pet sitting needs.”

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. This has given me hands-on experience in caring for dogs of all temperaments and needs, from energetic puppies to senior dogs. 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

“Monica is very patient and compassionate. She goes the extra mile and did such a great job making sure we knew our pups were okay while we were out of town. Highly Recommend ?”

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.
About: I pride myself in spreading all of my love and compassion to every animal that I come across. I treat every pet as if they were my own. Nothing makes me happier than seeing happy pets, and giving their owners peace of mind that they are in safe hands. I have hundreds of 5 star reviews, and positive references detailing my work in all types of services with many different types of animals. I will always go above and beyond to care for any pet in my care, it's what I'm ultimately passionate about. I am incredibly flexible with my schedule, I do pet services full time and I'm always open to accommodating however I can. With open communication, anything is possible! My home has a fenced backyard, with a private security system. I make sure that I keep ample treats, toys, and enrichment activities in the home and I love taking the pets out for walks or just to explore the town. If I'm offering services outside of my home, I will always treat your space with respect and make sure that every request is thoroughly taken care of.

“Sarah took great care of Toby during his drop-in visits. She gave him his dinner, took him out for potty breaks, and made me feel very comfortable while I was away. Toby seemed happy and well cared for, and I really appreciated the updates. I would absolutely book with her 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. Her communication skills are excellent she will also tell you what’s going on and send pictures. She’s the sweetest ever thank you again I will definitely book with her every single time.”

“Our boys seemed pretty comfortable with Woonsan. He made sure our boys were well fed on time and cleaned the litters properly. He also followed our instructions so we didn't have to worry about anything. Will definitely be availing his services again.”

Hackensack Riverfront pet parents share their Rover experiences
Simply amazing! I will always ask Alekhandra to take care of my Bruno. This was my first time leaving my baby with a dog sitter and she made both Bruno and myself feel very comfortable and assured that he was in good hands. She even taught me how to properly get the harness on the puppy and how to train him for walks. She’s great and I’m more than happy with her services!

Sarah took great care of Toby during his drop-in visits. She gave him his dinner, took him out for potty breaks, and made me feel very comfortable while I was away. Toby seemed happy and well cared for, and I really appreciated the updates. I would absolutely book with her again!

Mai was so lovely - would absolutely recommend and rebook! She took care of our kitty in two stints that happened to fall close to one another. We were so thankful to have her check on our guy. Mai was so easy to communicate with and made us feel so comfortable leaving our kitty at home. She sent daily check in photos which were so appreciated. Recommend 10/10! Thank you Main

Sarah is the absolute best! We have had her sit our cats countless times now. I was telling my wife how I don’t even think about our cats on our trips because of how well we know they are taken care of with Sarah and her excellent communication. You will not look elsewhere once you have Sarah watching your pets!!

Feiran is AMAZING! She has looked after our cat multiple times and has gone above and beyond every single time. She even brought our cat a cute little toy one time. It’s clear that Feiran loves animals. She is pleasant, trustworthy, and very responsible. She takes plenty of photos of our cat and makes us feel confident that our cat is getting the best treatment while we’re away.

Thank you for taking care of Layla during your drop-in visits over the last 3 days. I loved receiving the pictures and updates—it made being away from her much easier. Layla was clearly well cared for, and I’m very happy with Olivia's service! Would absolutely book again.
