“This was my third time working with Katherine, and she is consistently wonderful and reliable. I love the detailed updates she sends, especially the summaries of how my cat is doing and the adorable photos from her visits. She is my go-to sitter, and I’ll definitely continue to book her!”

“Kobi took excellent care of my baby! She was highly communicative and even cleaned up around my apartment without being asked. Would highly recommend her. Thank you, Kobi!!”


“Jessica is absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond for my two cats and sent so many great updates!! She is so caring and truly went above and beyond the call of duty for my Gambit and Patagonia!! If you want your pet treated like royalty call Jessica!”

“This was my first time trying rover and Sydney made the process smooth and stress free. She communicated every step of the way and took great care of Purrcy. I would 100% book again.”

“Rebecca took amazing care of my cats and went above and beyond when my plans changed — staying flexible and putting my kitties’ wellbeing first. I really appreciate her and look forward to working with her again soon!”

“Our boys seemed pretty comfortable with Woonsan. He made sure our boys were well fed on time and cleaned the litters properly. He also followed our instructions so we didn't have to worry about anything. Will definitely be availing his services again.”

About: I’m a therapy dog handler with my french bulldog of 3 years. I’ve owned 3 dogs to date and currently lead a 100% volunteer-led nonprofit that supports canine health in NJ! I work in the nonprofit sector and in my free time I volunteer through various organizations. Currently, I have flexible time on the weekends only. I will respect your home and ensure your dog has the best experience on walks and playtime! I’ll also be very communicative with sharing photos, updates or any questions or comments you may have!
“Jessica has been an incredible caretaker for our puppy. She’s responsible, thorough and so loving to Button. She provided us with very detailed notes on her time with Button and made us feel so comfortable inviting her into our home and interacting with the newest member of our family. We will definitely continue to work with Jessica and highly highly recommend her to others.”
About: Hi! My name is Tori and I just graduated from Boston University! I grew up with dogs, hamsters, birds, frogs, fish, and cats. I absolutely love and missed taking care of them so much while I was away. I’d be so happy to take care of your pets too! I can take them on walks, feed them, check in on them, and keep them company whenever you need! My dog Nikki loves when I hold her and sing to her, so maybe yours will too! Not to brag, but I also give the best belly rubs! I am currently working a part-time job, so I can provide excellent care for your pets as soon as I am available! I work mostly in the early mornings. I am completely open to your care needs. I can take your pets on walks, feed them, keep them active and entertained, and most importantly, make sure they feel loved in your absence!
“This was our first time having Deanna care for our two kitties and I am so happy that we found her. We were anxious to leave our fur babies to go on an overseas trip, but Deanna's well written and thoughtful updates truly put us at ease and it was clear that she read and followed our specific care instructions. I could see from the photos that the kitties were comfortable in her presence. It pleasantly surprised me that even my super shy one came out when she was there, and approached her more closely with each passing day. She understands that they have their individual personalities and respected that in her interactions with them. Deanna even went above and beyond when I asked her to leave nuts out each day for the baby squirrels that visit our deck. We were so pleased with her level of care and will definitely seek her out when the need arises in the future.”

“This was Delaney’s second time watching our cat and she did just as amazing of a job as the first time around. Our cat loves her and we’re comfortable knowing Delaney has cats herself. Highly recommend!”

About: I provide a calm, loving environment where pets feel at home. My attention to each pet’s unique personality and routine. I have experience caring for both energetic puppies and sweet senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra patience. Whether it’s administering medication, sticking to special diets, or just offering lots of cuddles, I tailor care to what your pet needs most. I also prioritize communication, so you’ll always get updates and peace of mind while you're away. I’m able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day, whether that means regular check-ins, quiet companionship, or active play. I am available to boarding on weekdays and weekends. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with very easy access to outdoor for walks (nearby dog parks) and potty breaks throughout the day. I stick closely to their daily routine so they feel at home. I'm attentive to their mood and needs and keep their space clean and comfy.
“Ronald did a great job taking care of my Hilton! This was my first time using Rover and Hilton seemed very happy and content when I arrived back at home. Ronald kept me updated with pictures of their walks too! I highly recommend”

I offer high-quality, relaxed walks and personalized care that puts your pet’s comfort first. With my gentle, attentive approach, I will always make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved during every walk or visit! As a freelancer, I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily and weekly routine.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Journal Square
Alex was amazing with our 3 year old cat Pohee! Our cat is generally cautious around new people, but with Alex he was comfortable coming out and spending time with him from day one. Alex was also very communicative, and we really enjoyed checking the Rover Cards he made for us each day. He was flexible with us as well, accommodating schedule changes on short notice and genuinely out of way to care of Pohee. Alex is clearly experienced, which made everything very easy and gave us peace of mind throughout our vacation knowing our cat was in good hands. We would absolutely love to work with him again!

Leigh was amazing with our 3 year old cat! He was much more relaxed when we came back from vacation this time, and we could tell he had been well cared for. Leigh was great at communicating and came quite early in the morning so she could spend time with him during his most active part of the day. Before meeting her, we weren’t sure we’d be able to find someone who could help us at that time, so we really appreciated her flexibility. We’d love to work with Leigh again. Thank you so much for taking such great care of him!

My cat Indy was well taken care of by Casey while I was out-of-town. She made sure Indy was fed & watered, and tended her litterbox. A nice note and pictures from her visit ensured me that Casey was the right choice to look after my pet. Kind, reliable, and communicative, I will definitely utilize Casey in the future and recommend her for your pet sitting needs.

I had a wonderful experience with Veronika, she took tender care of my cat during my travels and payed close attention to his needs. In all the update photos he seemed comfortable and content. She was very communicative and I left the experience feeling like she was the right, trustworthy decision. I highly recommend working with her! She also called after the care to ensure the kitty transitioned well. Also she’s a lovely baker and shared some treats when we met! 🤍🐾

Jess is absolutely phenomenal. She’s cared for my Des quite consistently for about a year now, as I travel a lot, and I couldn’t be more grateful. She’s communicative, timely, very attuned to my boy, and easily manages his medical needs. She clearly adores him, and he’s clearly quite bonded to her as well. In addition, Jess is incredibly respectful of my space and always leaves it cleaner and tidier than she’s found it. I cannot recommend her enough!
