“Frida took great care of Choco and Nova! Also kept us updated with photos and made sure both dogs were happy and comfortable. Really appreciate the care and attention—would definitely book again!”
“Lauren is great and we will definitely be using her more often, she took care of our fur babies like they were her own. Even though we didn't request it she sent Pictures daily which was very nice, she did well with roxy who is handicapped.”
“Brittany was amazing with my dog Roo! She was able to watch her last minute due to travel plans changing and provided me with tons of updates. Roo is a little quirky and is on the anxious side but brittany made sure to give her plenty of love and attention.”
“Could not have had a better experience. Lots of communication. Great picture and video updates. The dogs were very happy and the house was perfect when we returned. Third experience booking through Rover, Best so far! Already rebooked.”
“Laura was wonderful! She's extremely experienced, capable, competent, and knowledgable. My little guy (Julius, a cat) usually has bad separation anxiety, but he did wonderfully with Laura when she stayed in my apartment with him for two weeks. I highly recommend Laura as a sitter for any animal!”
“Nickie did great with Freida, had patience wiht her. Freida does take a little while to warm up, by the end of the visit Freida was hanging out with Nickie.”
“Ethan is amazing! Hands down best person that could’ve watched Joey! He did everything possible to make sure i was comfortable throughout the day and made sure Joey had the best time under his care. He ran with Joey when he wanted to sprint, allowed him time to play outside and sniff around, made sure he ate, etc. I couldn’t be happier.”
About: Hi, my name is Grace and I’m happy to be back in the Garden State! Although my "day job" as a marketing manager for a local university is a lot of fun, spending time with animals is what brings me true joy. I work from home, so if your pet needs care at any point during the day, I’m your gal. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! I work from home, so my schedule is flexible! I will occasionally have to go into the office, but that will be indicated on my calendar. I will absolutely follow your lead. I want to make sure your pet feels the utmost comfort and safety when around me. If that means extra cuddle time, fine by me. If they want space, that's okay too. I never want you to worry when you're away from your fur baby!
“Stacey was prompt and arrived on time! Exceptional care provided by Stacey! Ralphie was well-loved and tended to with great attention to detail. Highly recommend her services!"”
“She does amazing with my new puppy”
About: I have been dog sitting in different capacities since I was in high school. I started off dog sitting for family and neighbors and now have a base of returning clients, one of which has show dogs. I have even been hired by the IWCA (Irish Wolfhound Club of America) to watch puppies and walk dogs at an international show. I have a base knowledge for training basic skills such as sit, down, stay, come and so on. I also have some experience working with reactive dogs and will work at their pace. Bottom line, I will love your fur babies like they're my fur babies! I work full time, but I am usually home by 4 pm so evenings and weekends are when I am most available. I can be flexible though! My calendar is currently open through 2025. If you want to book in advance for 2026, please message me and I will let you know if I can accommodate your dates! In my home, it's the dogs house and I just live there lol! I understand that how I train my dogs and the rules in my house don't work for everyone. When I am sitting for you, I will follow your rules and guidance for how you want your home run. My number one concern is safety followed closely by respect. Additionally, if you're a new dog owner looking for some guidance I am more than happy to help out where I can!
“Yana took the time to visit with our family before staying at our home with Charlie. He had instantly taken to her gentle manner which made us feel so comfortable. She exercised patience with his sometimes stubborn but lovable manner. We loved her daily texts with pictures outlining how the day went. I feel at ease knowing she is caring for our Charlie.”
“Bosco Bear loved having Alexis take care of him. Even though this was a long trip, he was so well adjusted and happy when I hot home that I could tell how loved and well taken care of he was while i was gone.”
“Lina has done house sitting for my dog Zues twice now. Each of these trips were long weekend outings. Both times I have come home to my house exactley as I left it and my dog disappointed I'm not Lina! Just kidding! But I can tell he has a good time with her and that she gives him plenty of attention while I'm gone. Lina stays in good contact with me while I'm away, and will send pictures if you ask for them. In a nutshell, Lina is trustworthy, caring for your pet, clean and reliable. In my book that's all you need!”
“I had the most incredible experience using Rover for the first time and securing Michael as my pet sitter within just 18 hours. From the initial phone call, I felt a great connection with Michael and knew he was the perfect person to care for my two dogs while I celebrated the Fourth of July on the Hudson River. Michael treated my fur babies as if they were his own, and I truly appreciated receiving photos throughout the evening, including a map of the walk he took with them. What impressed me the most was how receptive my dogs were to Michael, which immediately put my mind at ease. It was clear that he has a special way with animals and genuinely cares for their well-being. I cannot speak highly enough of my experience with Rover and Michael. I highly recommend reaching out to him for help with your furry loved ones. I will definitely be contacting him again the next time I am in need of pet care while in NJ. Thank you, Michael, for your exceptional care and attention to detail!”
“We love working with Claudia and book her any chance we get! She’s responsible, loving to our dogs and takes excellent care of them. We definitely highly recommend her!”
“Rosanna provided our dog Gilbert with outstanding care! She sent updates and communicated frequently. I would highly recommend! We will definitely use again!”

Kira is a wonderful cat sitter - very kind to my cats, especially careful with my elder cat, took excellent care of my home, and was always responsive to all my questions and requests. Very thankful for her care.
We had a last-minute need for a dog sitter, and Rafael came through for us in the best possible way. From the moment he arrived, our dogs took to him immediately — it was clear he has a natural connection with animals. He was reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. We felt completely at ease knowing our pups were in such good hands. When we got back, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We absolutely loved having Rafael watch them and wouldn’t hesitate to call on him again. Highly recommend!!
