“Meghan was awesome! We had to go to a wedding and we're unsure of whether or not we'd need to stay overnight. She was super flexible and was able to accommodate us for the extra day. My dogs LOVE her and took to her immediately- which says a lot, as my chihuahua is not the friendliest. Will definitely be using her services again. Highly recommend!”


“What an experience. We have never left anyone to take care of our Domino at home. Instead we would take him somewhere out of the comfort of his own home. Daphne truly loves animals and respect her clients. She even went above and beyond by bringing in our mail. I would refer her and Rover to all our friends ONLY because of our experience with Daphne. 10 stars AMAZING CARING RESPECTFUL!!!”


“Grayson was great. This was my first time leaving Tom for an extended period of time since he has developed some kidney issues. Between that and him being a Velcro cat, I was a little nervous. Grayson was extremely communicative and timely and alleviated any initial concerns I had. Tom is doing great today like we didn’t even miss a beat! I know he was in good hands with her and will definitely try to use her in the future!”



“Tiffany is so nice and did a great job dropping in on our cat and giving her proper food and medication. She provided photos and updates with each check in and was really easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!”

About: Hello! I live in Sussex County, NJ, and have been walking dogs since January 2025 via the Wag app. I am available for drop ins, walks, and pet sitting during the day. Since I have 2 sassy beagle-mixes of my own, I can do overnight stays with some household coordination on my end. I’m currently working part time, so have a flexible schedule! I do my best to only accept bookings where I know I’ll make it not only on time, but a few minutes early. It’s important for me to know what access or limits your pet has in your home, so I like to over communicate with pet parents so I fully understand what makes your pet happy and safe.

About: i’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, i have my senior baby who is a 13 year old 80lb american bulldog sweetpie, and a year ago i adopted a border collie/ pitty mix who has grown into a 40lb ball of energy. so i have a good understanding of the different types of dogs and how their breed affects their personalities. me and my girlfriend will be doing this together in case of emergencies and to help. she has the same experience i do & she’s 20. we have to keep my puppy entertained for nearly all hours of the day. she goes to the dog park in the mornings for 2+ hours and we take her on hikes. she loves all dogs and is very well trained in all aspects. she loves playdates! i’m working part-time so we will have to schedule times for potty breaks/visits & for walks. i work 5 days a week all different times. i will treat your puppy like i treat my own. i believe in positive reinforcement with bad behaviors & i can incorporate training into the experience. in my experience i find e-collars & prong collars very rewarding. we can go over the tools that work best for you & ur dog as well as treats you will pre-approve. i only believe in the best for you & ur dogs!!

About: I am a certified Veterinary Assistant/Technician and have my Animal CPR certificate. I have worked in both general practice and emergency and are ready for all your animals needs. I am able to give insulin to diabetics and fluids to those with kidney disease. Over the years I have cared for all my family's and friends pets for weeks at a time. With every pet having the best experience and given the utmost care. I currently work part time at a restaurant a few nights a week and weekend nights. It is only for a few hours a day and I would never be later than 10pm. This leaves plenty of time to play, feed, and walk your pets! I can take them out into the yard for hours of play or I would be willing to take them to the dog park too! I am available early in the morning so if your pet is on any medication I can be there to give it to them. I am unable to offer boarding to my place of residence unless it was only for a day. I have a fenced in yard with a pool but cannot do overnight boarding. I am up early in the morning to feed breakfast to your pet and take them for their first walk/outside time. Depending on the energy level of your pet we can have a couple hours of play time. I would be there for lunch and dinner and one more walk before bedtime.

About: I’ve own different breeds of dogs over my life from childhood to now adult. One of our current girls suffers from seizures and requires medication since she was a puppy. I’m able to manage getting my pets their medications in different ways to keep up with their treatments! I had two pitbull with my mom and now one of our own, so I am able to care for from any dog small to large! Learning over the last several years of my the growing relationship between our two girls, I’ve understood dogs like people, need patience and understanding. They have feelings and fears like we do, and we need to show them it’s okay to make mistakes and they are still loved and are safe! I currently work full time hours overnight shifts, I have more time after my shifts and mid afternoons or a full day on my off shifts if anyone is ok with flexibility on time ranges! We currently live in a townhome community and require leashed walks with our dogs. One of our dogs don’t do well when surrounded by other dogs so we have learned to redirect and find other paths for her to enjoy her way with less stress and more enjoyment! We don’t need to crate our girls, but they do have seperate spaces when alone in the house for their own safety and space!

“Jennifer is fantastic, she treats our pets like her own and ensures they are well taken care of. We have been extremely happy when she assists with our pet watching needs. 😁”


About: Hello! I’m Tara I’ve been taking care of pets since I was kid. I have 3 of my own. An active large dog and two sweet cats. I’m adaptive and really love animals. I work in the film industry and have insane hours. Rover has been a life saver for me. I understand the need for sitter and how important it is to have somebody treat your pets with the same love and care you do.

I’m experienced with pet sitting in other homes or even taking pets overnight if you’re comfortable with that and if our animals get along. My dog has insane allergies and I’m used to administering medications. I follow directions very well and promise to give your pet the care they deserve. I’ll take your pup on adventures or even just come by to keep them company and let them out. My dog is always on a leash in public places. My care can vary to you and your pets specific needs!

Klaudia S.
“Klaudia is a fantastic pet owner and caregiver! She’s had dogs and cats her whole life and truly loves every single one she meets! Both of her current dogs are on consistent medication so she is very aware and responsible when it comes to consistent medication distribution. Overall, she truly gets lost in loving pets in a good way! She works hard and her greatest joy is the happiness of seeing an excited wagging tail ready for cuddles lol I would trust her with any animal of mine, anytime, anywhere!”


Jennifer P.

“Jennifer is fantastic, she treats our pets like her own and ensures they are well taken care of. We have been extremely happy when she assists with our pet watching needs. 😁”


Tara L.
“Tara has raised the most precious, well-behaved dog I have ever been around in my life. Her attention to detail for her own dog's needs and love for dogs in general is incomparable and anyone would be lucky enough to have her help. If she has long days she'll always make a point to give her dog enough exercise even if it includes not giving herself enough time to make dinner. Being an avid hiker as well always makes her pup happy as she has a lot of insight and access to many hiking trails and lakes. Hiring her to watch your dog will probably make her just as happy to spend time with your dog as it will make you happy in the level of care she will provide.”


Carla C.Star Sitter
“I have known Carla for a long time now. And throughout that time she had much experience with pets. From having 5 dogs, 5 parakeets, 1 cat, 1 hamster, and to top it off, 2 goldfish!!! She has a lot of experience with pets, which is why she is the perfect person to trust when it comes to babysitting/walking pets!!!”
