1. Laura K.


“Thanks to Laura, we were able to enjoy a much needed weekend away from our elderly yorkie and two finicky cats. Our trip was last minute and plans changed but Laura was very accommodating and adaptable! Highly recommend her and will definitely call her again!”


2. Savana R.


“Savana watched our chihuahua, TJ, for 8 nights when we were on vacation. TJ is very wary of new people, and takes a while to warm up. Savana’s patience with him paid off and they soon became buddies! TJ became her little shadow and we were able to enjoy our vacation with no worries or anxiety about anything! We so appreciate Savana taking such good care of our baby, and for sending us lots of pics and updates. We also appreciate her taking care of the house for us. Savana will definitely be our only choice to dog sit TJ from now on!”


3. Helaina F.
“Helaina is the most competent & loving caregiver to our pets! Knowledgeable, punctual, reliable, responsible & devoted! She takes care of our pets as if they’re her own. Perfect in every way! We wouldn’t want to use anyone else! Thank you Helaina!”


4. Grayson S.

“We had Grayson stay in our home when we went on vacation for a week, and she took such good care of our dog, 2 cats, and fish. She checked in with us everyday to update us on how everything was going. Our dog, Pippa, has separation anxiety and for the first couple of days she wasn’t eating great, one time didn’t want to go outside for her walk, and was generally standoffish. Grayson was quick to let us know that she seemed to be having an hard time adjusting, so we were able to advise her on how she could try to make our pup more comfortable. With Grayson’s gentle encouragement and mindfulness to her anxiety triggers, she was able to bring Pippa’s anxiety down and helped her adjust to our absence relatively quickly. We were so happy when Grayson told us that they had started to bond, even having some snuggle time! She was able to take Pippa on some long walks/runs (which we had previously okayed), when our dog typically doesn’t trust relative strangers enough to leave our property with them for walks. I wanted to share all of this to convey how wonderful Grayson is with animals, as evidenced by the bond she was able to create with our anxious pup. It’s so important to have a sitter that can put you at ease when you are entrusting them with your home and beloved pets, and Grayson did just that—and beyond. She immediately let us know when one of our cats knocked something over and broke it, and even offered to replace it for us. She is just a very kind, thoughtful, and respectful person in general, and we definitely got that impression from her upon our very first meeting. We are just thrilled to have found her and will continue to use her services for a long time to come. Grayson, we genuinely appreciate everything and are sending you the biggest thank you!!!”


5. Brian C.

“Thank you so much Brian for taking care of Archie. Really appreciate you following instructions and looking after him.”


6. Ashley D.

“Ashley was fantastic. She was very attentive and kept us in the loop the entire time we were gone. We felt at ease having her stay in our house with our babies. She even was flexible enough to stay an extra night when our plans changed due to a family emergency. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and caring sitter.”


7. Lauren L.

“Lauren did an amazing job with our three fur babies. She sent us multiple daily pictures and updates, and we felt safe and secure that our pups were in such great hands. Even our oldest, at 14, enjoyed his time with Lauren. We will definitely have her here again, and we highly recommend her. Our home and flowers were just as we were here for the week. Thank you, Lauren, for your outstanding care.”


8. Jesse L.
“I have known Jesse for 8 years at this point. When we met, the first thing I learned about her was her incomparable love for pets, especially her dog Tucker. Shortly after meeting Jesse, I rescued a dog with severe separation anxiety and was extremely uneasy around others. Jesse was an exception to that. He could sense her loving personality and was one of the few people who he felt comfortable with. As a dog parent, that made me extremely happy. She has an amazing spirit that animals can sense and is extremely dependable. Your pets will be so happy you chose her!”


9. Daphne P.

“Daphne was very understanding of my dog’s needs and went above and beyond my expectations. Will definitely reach out to her again. Thanks so much!!!”


10. Sharon D.

“There are not enough stars to leave this review. Taking a 17 day vacation, we asked a lot of our Dog Sitter/House Sitter. Sharon went above and beyond sending daily pictures & updates. Upon our return garbage cans had been emptied and the bed stripped and bedding was washed. We have already recommended Sharon to our neighbor who is Boarding her dog for vacation.”


11. Christina M.

“Christina did a great job with my dogs and taking care of the house while we were away. She provided updates and was easy to keep in contact with. She also left the house clean and neat with extra touches she provided.”


12. Jennifer G.
“Jen is a loving and caring pet sitting who treats your animals like they are her own. She is reliable and trust worthy and is willing to move her schedule around to accommodate pet needs.”


13. Tammie B.
“Tammie is a wonderful person and so kind to my pets. She is reliable and responsible. I would highly recommend her as a caregiver for rover.com Lisa T”


14. Jon P.

“Jon did a great job taking care of our four cats while we were out of town for Thanksgiving! We really appreciated the frequent updates and pics. The cats were doing well when we returned home. Thanks Jon!”


15. Nicole M.
About: I grew up with Labs, German Shepherds and Pekingese along with other breeds and have always felt a special bond with dogs. I volunteered at the West Milford Animal Shelter when I was younger as well. I love to walk sometimes I walk up to 7 miles after a long day so I thought it would be good to help walk some dogs as well! I work full time 8-4:30 and have a fur baby of my own so weekends are best for me but I can work with some later walks if needed I will care for all fur babies as if they were my own. I will make them feel comfortable loved and cared for while watching.


16. Alexander B.
“I have known Alexander for 15 years and he is reliable and responsible kind hearted man. I have seen him interacting with my cats and he is loving and caring to my cats and they like him as well.”


17. Angel S.
“Angel is very passionate about the wellbeing of her and others' pets. She is a great resource for any size or needs as she is attentive and enthusiastic. I wouldn't think twice about my pets spending the weekend at Angel's!”


18. Ana T.

“Ana did a great job housesitting with our cat and dog! She sent me an update everyday with a picture of them. She even washed the sheets before she left. We definitely will use her again if the need presents itself!”


19. Jaimee S.

“Jaimee is wonderful with Murphy! He has a lot of anxiety and we can always tell he’s been so relaxed when she stays!”


20. Alissa S.
“We have been using Alissa to take care of our dog Cooper for last couple of years. Cooper loves going to her and is always excited to see her! We love the way she send us updates and daily pictures of him when we are away. We are glad we found her and trust her completely with our dog.”
