“Rebecca was absolutely incredible! She took such great care of my cat Champ. I would HIGHLY recommend her. I will most definitely be reaching back out to her again!”
“Raj was an amazing dog sitter! He took great care of Saint, providing plenty of walks, playtime, and updates with pictures. It was clear that he truly cares for animals and treats them like his own. Communication was easy, and I felt completely at ease knowing Saint was in good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with Raj again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Gabriela and Maidely always take the best care of my cat! They are very reliable and responsive. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for drop in services!”
“Jenid was attentive to our cats, scooped cat boxes, medicated our cat who needs that and picked up cat droppings. She also sent several pictures of the cats to reassure us that they were well.”
“Julia did an amazing job caring for our kitties while we were away. She took the time to check in on each of our cats, even the one who usually hides from everyone, as well as sending us plenty of photo updates.😆 We couldn't have asked for better care and will definitely be booking again!”
“Jessica was wonderful to have come check in on our kitty! So grateful for her consistent communication and thoroughness. Melvyn was well taken care of!!”

“Sarah came to my rescue when I need a dog-sitter last minute after moving into the area. She sent photos and updates, and was responsive and flexible when my dog’s feeding plans changed. Definitely recommend!”
“Kaitlin was great! She was a fast and effective communicator. She had an issue using our apartment key and sought out apt staff to help her get in. She went above and beyond. Would trust her for future needs.”
“Kathleen is amazing; not only did she make sure our cat was well fed and his basic needs were taken care of, but she also took the time to give him the affection and attention he craved. A joy to work with. Highly recommend!”
“Emily came to my rescue very last minute when other arrangements fell through. She was extremely responsive, detailed, and calmed all of my nerves. My babies aren’t used to having others care for them but Emily came and spent time with us to fix that. I would recommend her to anyone!”

About: I grew up with both cats and dogs. I love animals and take excellent care of them. My mom was a wildlife rehabilitator too so we also had squirrels, rabbits, and even a raccoon at one point! I primarily do pet care on the weekends now but occasionally available other days. Send me a message if you need someone and I’ll see what I can do! If I confirm a booking, I will be there! I am incredibly respectful of other people's things and try to leave things as if I was never there (except for your happy and relaxed pet, of course!).
About: Growing up, I have always been surrounded by animals. At one point, I wanted to become a veterinarian. I understand that when caring for pets you must be patient, kind, attentive and knowledgeable. Over the last few years, I’ve watched pets for friends, family, neighbors. I am on Rover to work with pet owners in my area (or in a decent vicinity) who are in need of some extra help. While in my care, I want you to feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, secured and being treated with love. Explore my profile and let’s connect! I am currently not working so I have flexibility to lean into my side job with pet care. If our availabilities align I would be happy to assist with your pet care needs. **Please be sure to fully READ my rates and availability times listed before booking** (HOUSE SITTING, DROP-IN VISITS or BOARDING) Whether I’m at a client’s house or caring for a pet in my home I will ask them to thoroughly walk me through their routine with their pet. What are the do’s and dont’s as far as house rules, feeding and walk schedules when caring for that pet(s). If a client brings their pet to my home, I will make sure my apartment is “child-proof” so the pet’s safety is ensured. Most importantly, I will make sure I have a few familiar items at my place that’s from the owner’s home so their pet can get comfortable. For Drop-in visits, please let me know if you would like me to feed them.
About: I’ve always had 3+ pets at a time in my household growing up, always a combination of dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with small and large dogs! I have experience feeding, walking, giving some medicines and playing with all pets. I have experience with aging pets, including senior cats and diabetic dogs requiring insulin. I’m currently working full-time in person, but my boyfriend does work fully remote from our apartment. We are happy to host your pet if they need attention during the day! I’m also available to come by any time after work or on the weekends. I always ensure the environment is safe, nothing that could be harmful is in reach of the pets. I live in an apartment with an elevator and a great area to walk around.
“Camila was sweet enough to do drop-in visits for a feral cat we feed while we were away. Basically leaving food and water out on our porch each night, and the necessary clean up. She sent photos when she could :) It was such peace of mind to know our furry friend wasn't left hungry. Thank you very much Camila!”
“Katie is the absolute best! She gave me great updates and successfully pilled my kitty who has a heart condition. I was able to enjoy a vacation stress-free thanks to Katie.”

“Natalia has been my boyfriends and my dog sitter for the last year. She has shown exceptional work with our dog Bentley. Whenever we visit our dog goes right by her side, she is loving and caring with him. It’s amazing to have a trusting dog sitter. Bentley shows so much excitement whenever we come visit. They have a lovely space enough for our Bentley to run around and play. Natalia is a gentle knowledgeable dog sitter, the perfect example of the type of dog sitter people need!”

Jersey City pet parents share their Rover experiences
Linda was incredible. I reached out to her last minute for some drop in sessions for my crazy pack of 3. They loved her from the second they met her at the meet and greet. She followed all instructions, & sent me super detailed updates and tons of photos. Great sitter!
Jessica was outstanding! She left great written updates every single time she watched our two boys and plenty of pictures. Historically, our Rover sitters don’t always leave written updates for every single visit, but that was not the case with Jessica and we really appreciated that. We will definitely be back to hire Jessica again soon!
Jazmin made our 1st experience of leaving our kitten alone for a trip so much better! And I’m super thankful for that. She would send me pics of every visit and a long note/letter letting me know about the whole visit and details about it. She made me feel so at peace knowing my baby was taking care of. Thank you Jazmin!
I took my time reading through different Rover profiles when we moved and immediately knew that our sweet but shy cat Tux would be in great hands with Francesca. Francesca was so patient and went out of her way to gain our boy’s trust. She’s easy to reach and excellent at communication. Very grateful that we found her!
Jessica was amazing with my pet cat. Booked her on such short notice and she was so thorough, checked with me multiple times to make sure my cat was properly attended to and send me multiple pictures and videos. I will definitely be booking her in the future!
