Jay is the best. My Thunder who is a 75lb American Pitbull loves him and for anyone with this breed that once they trust you there is no such thing as personal space. This breed gets a bad reputation but they are cuddle buddies. Book him now and often you will not regret it!

Angelica is amazing! This is my first time with Rover and I will always book ahead and use her. I have a rescue dog Micky that is not friendly to most people and needs to be cared for from our home From the first Micky really liked her and was well taken care of. Angelica took severe photos per day and texted my husband and I about how Micky was doing. We look forward to future travel knowing our dogs are in good hands!

Left our three musketeer pups for the weekend, 2 of which are senior and one that requires a bit of extra assistance. We got the cutest and most detailed updates of our pups, and could tell how well taken care of they were while we were gone. Can’t wait to have Stephanie watch and walk our fur babies again next time!

Marlita was absolutely amazing! She was kind enough to meet Lou ahead of time, and listen to all my crazy cat mom instructions, haha. She was SO communicative during my trip and sent me so many pictures and videos! It really reassured me; leaving Lou at home during my trip was my biggest worry and having such an amazing caregiver for him took a huge weight off my shoulders. She's definitely his permanent babysitter now, haha. She cares so much for animals and you can tell she truly enjoys being with them. ?

About: Hey there! I want the best for your pets! When you can’t be there to care for them, I’m the extra hand you need to carry out their care just the way you’d like it. I have experience with reactive dogs, puppies, senior dogs, blind dogs, you name it! If your pup has specific care needs, I can assist while you’re away. I do have a dog of my own so if your dog needs a playmate, let me know! If you need house-sitting, Meelo would be coming along with me. He is a 23-lb shih-tzu/poodle mix and well-trained! If you read this far, message me for house-sitting at a discounted rate! I’m currently a student at Kean University and I have an on-campus job as well. During breaks and between classes, I’d love to care for your pup! Your pet’s comfort is of the utmost importance to me. You, the owner, know best about their care and with your help, I can love on your pets with a routine that’s familiar to them and within their boundaries. Also seeing as I may be in your home, I’m very sensitive to a client’s boundaries and will always check in for permission for things around the house.

Katrina is a true animal lover who was great with my hyper 45-lb hound mix Sage. She's been on a couple of walks and one overnight housesit. I trust her to keep Sage (an unpredictable bolter when spotting squirrels) safe on the leash and reliabily show up for each walk, even accommodating last minute schedule changes. Katrina took good care of my house while we were gone and even picked up some bone shards that could have been a choking hazard. To top it all off, I got a selfie of Katrina & Sage snuggling in bed. Sage will be looking forward to her new caretaker's return soon.

About: With over 35 years of hands-on experience caring for pets, I bring a deep understanding of animal behavior, needs, and personalities to every pet sitting job. I’m a full-time professional and former certified pet sitting business owner, where I also offered basic dog training services. My background includes caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, cats, and other small animals—always with patience, consistency, and love. I specialize in overnight stays in clients’ homes, providing pets with comfort and companionship in their own familiar environment. This service is especially valuable for pets who thrive on routine and do best with a calm, reassuring presence overnight. Whether your pet needs a gentle walk, playtime, or just someone to curl up next to while you’re away, I’m committed to providing reliable, compassionate care. I treat every pet like family—and I know how much trust it takes to invite someone into your home. You can count on me to respect your space and follow your pet’s routine to the letter. As a full-time professional, I’m available for pet sitting weekday evenings after 4:00 PM and anytime on weekends from Friday at 4:00 PM through Sunday evening. This includes overnight stays in clients’ homes, which I’m happy to offer for pets who need extra comfort and companionship. My schedule allows me to dedicate focused, quality time to each pet I care for, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well looked after. I provide pet sitting exclusively in clients’ homes, where pets feel most comfortable and secure in their familiar surroundings. I offer overnight stays, allowing me to maintain their routines, provide companionship, and ensure their well-being throughout the night. I do not offer pet care in my own home, but I take great care to respect each client’s space, follow detailed instructions, and create a calm, nurturing environment for every pet I care for.

About: I have never met a dog I didn’t instantly fall in love with. My family dog was truly my best friend and I my favorite memories were taking her on walks and runs. I will make sure your dog is kept safe and is also happy and having fun. My availability for walking and for dog sitting is flexible depending on the day of the week. I would love to spend time with your four legged friends and give them some extra love & care. I hope to meet you and your dog soon! I’m currently self employed so I make my own schedule— I am available most days when needed. Please feel free to reach out to confirm! I do have a small backyard, and my apartment is not too small for a pet. We will never go out without a leash. If you have any details on how you would like me to care for your pet in your own home, please provide them at the time of booking!

About: Pets have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Today, I care for my own dog and cat, giving me hands-on experience with different species and temperaments. From active play and training for dogs to gentle care for cats, I’m comfortable with oral medications, maintaining routines, and creating a stress-free environment for all pets. “I work Monday to Friday, but I’m fully available from Friday afternoons through the entire weekend. This gives me plenty of time to care for your pets, making sure they get all the attention, walks, and cuddles they deserve while you’re away.” In my home, pets are treated like family. I share my space with a gentle dog and a sweet cat, so your furry friend will always feel welcome and loved. I make sure every pet has a cozy spot to relax, plenty of affection, and safe playtime. Whether they enjoy snuggles, gentle walks, or quiet moments, I adapt to their needs so they feel at home while you’re away

I work full-time, but every morning I clean litter, refill food, and every evening I ensure fresh water, affection, and quality time with my cats. I visit clients’ homes to feed cats and dogs, clean litter boxes, provide fresh water, play, give affection, and ensure pets feel safe and loved.

I should mention that she has been our housekeeper for years and is beloved and trusted by us beyond measure. (If you need your house cleaned while you are away, she's amazing).

Shannon is amazing! She stayed at my house for the weekend to look after my two cats while I was away, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the start, I felt totally comfortable leaving them in her care. She sent me daily notes and photos, which really helped me relax and enjoy my time away. It was clear from the updates that she was giving them lots of attention and making sure they were well cared for—especially my senior cat, who needs a little extra TLC. When I got home, everything was just as I left it, and the cats were calm and content. Shannon is kind, reliable, and clearly loves animals. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!

About: Pets have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Today, I care for my own dog and cat, giving me hands-on experience with different species and temperaments. From active play and training for dogs to gentle care for cats, I’m comfortable with oral medications, maintaining routines, and creating a stress-free environment for all pets. “I work Monday to Friday, but I’m fully available from Friday afternoons through the entire weekend. This gives me plenty of time to care for your pets, making sure they get all the attention, walks, and cuddles they deserve while you’re away.” In my home, pets are treated like family. I share my space with a gentle dog and a sweet cat, so your furry friend will always feel welcome and loved. I make sure every pet has a cozy spot to relax, plenty of affection, and safe playtime. Whether they enjoy snuggles, gentle walks, or quiet moments, I adapt to their needs so they feel at home while you’re away

I am writing to recommend my friend Sofia as a responsible and caring person who is absolutely suited for looking after animals. In her home country, she had a cat of her own, and she always showed great commitment to its well-being. Whenever I traveled, she kindly helped me take care of my dog. She was reliable, attentive, and very loving with him. I always felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. Sofia truly has a natural connection with animals and understands their needs. I have no doubt she will be an excellent caretaker for any pet.

Bianca was amazing to our four doggies! We did a meet & greet prior to booking and our dogs LOVE HER. We needed someone to dogsit and drive our dogs to our wedding ceremony and back home. Bianca made it possible and provided the best care and travels for our dogs! We will book her again and we will highly recommend Bianca to all our friends and family! Thank you Bianca for everything you did to make sure our dogs are well, safe, and happy!

Rachel was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond in caring for our Duke, exceeding all of our expectations. She was prompt, extremely communicative, and provided frequent updates complete with pictures and videos. When Duke became picky with his food, Rachel quickly came up with helpful solutions. It’s clear that Duke loved her, and we will definitely be using her again!

Samiyah did a great job watching my dogs, Debo and Sadie, while I was out of town from Thursday to Wednesday. She was reliable, respectful of my home, and kept me updated with messages and photos throughout the stay, which I really appreciated. She followed all instructions as requested and made sure both dogs were well cared for during my time away. I came home to everything in order and two well-looked-after dogs. Her professionalism and communication made the entire process smooth. I would definitely book Samiyah again and recommend her to anyone in need of a dependable and trustworthy sitter.

Naeemah did great with Diesel! I was gone for a couple of days and she was able to deal with the Diesel zoomies. I’m glad she took such great care of him!
