“I’ve always been satisfied with the ‘sitters’ I have used through Rover but I have to say Julie is above and beyond. We had a nice meet and greet before I made the booking. I knew right away that she was genuine and really enjoyed taking care of dogs. She sent me updates and always a pic or 2. She was flexible with my schedule and so reassuring about taking good care of Jimmy. I will definitely be using Julie again!!! And again thx Julie!”

“Would definitely recommend Lina!!! She was superb at communication and so on top of it from the second we reached out. She kept us updated on our kitty and sent many photos with lots of cuddles and playtime! Our kitty also got along with her cat, she had a great time!”

“Yiqi took care of our dog for two weeks and dog-sat him for a few days. She was so kind to me when I was anxious about leaving him boarded for the first time. She sent me photos of him every day, and he seemed very happy and well taken care of in the pictures. She’s very responsive. She truly loves and cares for your pet babies. I will use her service next time we are going away again. 100% recommended sitter and boarder!”

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them truly lights me up! I’m a former small animal veterinary technician with 5 years of hands on medical experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and medical needs (this goes from energetic puppies to sweet senior pets who need a little extra love!) and have 28 years of experience handling and caring for many species. I provide high level care, ideal for pets who need consistency, medication support, or a calm, reliable presence. I hold a BS in Equine Science (animal husbandry) from Centenary University & Hartpury University. I have spent my life caring for a wide variety of animals, including horses, cats, and dogs + my own dogs. Sometimes even caring for 100+ horses at one time! I take care of all of my friends' dogs and animals when needed (Peep my friend's weenie named Stevie in my photos). Whether I’m riding horses in Colts Neck, working in a veterinary setting, or shark diving, I’m happiest when I’m surrounded by animals. I’m kind, gentle, playful, and very attentive! I treat every pet like family, and their comfort and happiness always come first. I currently live in Pier Village, which means dogs get safe, fun, and enriching walks along the beach and boardwalk. Now that I have graduated and have more free time after ending my vet tech career, I can't wait to be established in NJ! I can’t wait to meet you and your pet and provide loving, dependable care while you’re away! I made this account years ago but never ended up using it. Since letting my most recent beagle go over the rainbow bridge, I am not looking to adopt for a while but being able to care for other's dogs will bring me great happiness! My schedule offers full availability on Sundays and Mondays, with flexible availability Tuesday through Saturday (usually early AM & evenings). *Hours Tuesday - Saturday change every week (I get 2 weeks in advance notice for these specific days) & will most likely be morning and evening walks/drop-ins (I am not available MID-DAY for check-ins or walks)* I treat every pet as part of my family, whether they’re in my home or yours. In my care, pets get lots of love, gentle attention, and structured routines. I make sure they eat on time, get plenty of playtime, walks, and mental stimulation, and receive any medications or special care they need. I’m calm, patient, and playful, and I always pay close attention to each pet’s personality and comfort. In my home in Pier Village, pets enjoy safe, enriching walks along the beach and boardwalk, cozy spots to rest, and lots of cuddles and attention! I only host one dog in my care at a time to provide calm, focused, and personalized care for your fur baby:) Whether in your home or mine, I focus on keeping pets happy, safe, and stress free, giving them the love, care, and reassurance they deserve while their family is away. I also provide updates and photos so you can see that your furry friend is comfortable, happy, and thriving!
“We had a wonderful experience! Thank you so much for taking such great care of Simba. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was happy, well looked after, and even made a new friend 😊 We really appreciated the regular updates and photos, it meant a lot to us. It’s clear how much care and attention you give to the dogs you look after. We would absolutely love for Simba to stay with you again in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Jane was so lovely and her dog Fancy is so cute! Our puppers needed a one night boarding while we were at a wedding. Jane took great care of him and sent so many photos, videos, and updates throughout the night and the next morning. She asked great questions if she was unsure of things. I loved the communication and flexibility Jane provided. Our dog was so happy when we came back to pick him up which let us know he had a great time at Jane’s! Would definitely recommend as a sitter!”

“Second time leaving our 1 year old golden with them. Definitely trust Paul, very accommodating and alleviated our anxiety of leaving our dog for a few nights. Will definitely use again.”
“I was nervous about leaving my dog with a sitter at first since this is the first time she would be boarding away from home, but Ziwei's dedication and attention to detail truly put my mind at ease. I received daily photo updates that not only warmed my heart but also reassured me that Fancy was in excellent hands. I feed fresh food to Fancy along with some supplements and Ziwei was able to follow instruction without any issue. She also updates me on walks, how Fancy is getting along with her two lovely dogs Rainbow and Nana and anything she finds cute that happens among the three of them. It seemed like Fancy had a good time and was well taken care of.”

“I boarded my 2 cats with Nervana for 8 days and she took great care of them! She was happy to give my boy his pill 2x daily and made sure to send me pic and video updates. Based on the videos I saw, the cats warmed up to her very well (even my girl who is usually terrified of 99% of people lol.) I would definitely recommend her to anyone else needing care for their pets in the future!”

“Lori was very responsive and caring toward my pup! This was the first time I have left her since moving to New Jersey and Lori made sure that I knew that Maya was doing great. Maya had an amazing time!!”

“Doris was amazing with my dog. The couple of days that she had him she sent plenty of pics and videos starting as soon as I dropped him off. She always responded to my texts. Will definitely book her over and over.”

“Patricia is a very warm and generous person. My pup had a lot of fun and I could tell from the pictures she sent me everyday while he was staying with her. Highly recommended! Thank you.”

“Anton and Maria took really great care of Archie. They made him feel right at home, took him on lots of walks (even off leash runs at the dog park!), played with him, and kept us updated with plenty of photos/videos and messages throughout his stay. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was so happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We could tell Archie got lots of love and attention, and we would absolutely book with them again. Big thanks to you both!!”


“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Megan and her husband Bryan! After our initial meet & greet we felt so comfortable boarding our dog with them. Our dog can be a bit skittish and slow to warm up, but at Megan and Bryan’s it happened so quickly and easily, they’re pros! We also received so many updates & pictures which we greatly appreciated! We would recommend them to anyone and everyone 😊”

“Wonderful care! Our dog felt completely at home and was in great shape after her stay with Margaret. Super responsive and helpful, will definitely board our dog with her again.”

“We’re so grateful for how Kitty took care of Sydney! It was such a relief knowing she’s happy and well-cared for while we were away. Kitty was very responsive and thoughtful with pictures and updates throughout Sydney’s stay with her. 5/5 stars, highly recommend Kitty!”

Highlands pet parents share their Rover experiences
Mary & Aaron are fantastic! They cared for our 2 senior dogs with love and patience while we were away. Their home is very pet friendly with a large backyard and there is 24 hour supervision and care. We received daily updates and pictures during their stay. We highly recommend booking with Mary and Aaron for your pets stay.
Krystal was a wonderful caregiver to my 12.5yr old frenchie, Honey, who requires oral medication as well as eye drops. Krystal was very responsive during booking and during Honeys stay. Her dog Kilo is chill and he welcomed Honey to his pack for 5 days. I will certainly check with Krystal when Hobsy needs a place to stay.
