“Jessica watched my 8 year old pug Gordy. She was wonderful.. sent me lots of pictures and updates and my dog loved her...I will definitely use Jessica in the future for all our trips”
“We had River care for our senior Labrador while we were away for the weekend. She was great to work with -- conscientious in her preparations, very communicative throughout the stay giving us updates multiple times each day . She was able to accomodate all of our dog's idiosyncracies. At the end of the weekend everyone was happy! Will definitely work with River again.”
“Shivarah was wonderful, from setting up a meet and greet prior to the booking to taking care of my two cats! It was so nice knowing that my boys were going to be well taken care of while I was gone. She was kind, attentive, a great communicator and sent pics every day. I highly recommend her!”
“Sofia was the BEST! Our pups loved spending time with her while we were away! We recieved daily updates and photos which brought us peace of mind! She took care of our home as well...she treated it as if it was her own! We feel very lucky to have gotten to know her, and we will for sure want her to sit for our dogs again!”
“I could not be more pleased with McKenna watching my Lily! She accommodated a last-minute request, and I am so grateful she was available. My Lily can be a handful at times, but she took to McKenna, relaxed, and was a very good girl. I received photos and updates while away, which put me at ease so I could fully enjoy my time away from my fur baby. McKenna is such a lovely, sweet young woman who clearly loves and knows how to care for pets. I felt great having her in my home watching over my sweet, sometimes not-so-sweet, Lily. I would contact McKenna again without hesitation. She is amazing!”
About: I work from home as a designer so I have plenty of time to care for your pet! I have loved animals since I was little when I had my own dog and cat.

I work flexible hours from home, so I have plenty of time to care for your dog or cat. I am available throughout the day. I adapt to the rules and routines of any household I am welcomed into.

“This was my first time using Rover, and let me just say Kortni took away all of the worries and anxiety that I had. She is truly one of a kind. She sent pictures and updates throughout the entire trip. You can see the love she has for pets! I would highly recommend her to anyone! She’s the best!”
About: I've been a petsitter since middle school. I've looked after cats and dogs both young and old, large and small. I'm very flexible and I take special care to keep each pet I care for comfortable and happy. I'm not currently employed, so I have plenty of time. I prefer late hours, but I can handle early risers too. I have a club event every second and fourth Tuesday; otherwise I'm fairly flexible with my activities. I will meet your pet wherever they are. If they need affection, I can give it; if they need space, I can give it. I put their well-being first, no matter what. If they make a mess, I will clean it up.
“I strongly recommend Maia, who was terrific with my dogs when I needed to travel out of town. She took wonderful care of my elderly Great Pyrenees, who has special needs, as well as his less needy sibling. She was great at communicating and let me know about a developing ear infection that she noticed, so we were able to treat that promptly. Plus, she went above and beyond in keeping the house clean. I will certainly contact her again the next time I need to travel.”
“Coral was dependable and supplied daily pictures and updates of our dog Dean. Dean bonded with her and we are grateful for her support. We would definitely use her services again and we highly recommend her.”
About: I am working towards becoming a licensed Veterinary Technician, bringing 12 years of love and experience in the veterinary field. I have the most adorable and well-behaved 12-year-old Shih Tzu who’s part of my family. Rest assured, your furry friend will have a safe and enjoyable stay, full of care and kindness. I typically work 40-hour weeks, but I always have plenty of days available to spend time with any pet in need. I really cherish the love of a furry friend!

I have a fenced in yard and a quiet street near a local park to ensure high levels of activity. Inside, pets will get plenty of cuddles on the couch.
“Thalia did an amazing job caring for our two girls while we were away. She house sat for us on two separate days and followed everything we had laid out - from their walking schedule to feeding them exactly how they’re used to. It was clear she took the time to make sure their routine stayed consistent. She was also very communicative, sending us photo updates during walks and even at naptime, which we really appreciated. Being away from your dogs can be stressful, but Thalia gave us real peace of mind knowing they were not only well cared for, but genuinely loved on while we were gone. We’d absolutely trust her with them again.”
“Laura watched our dog at our home while we were away for a few days. She did an excellent job with our dog and treated our home with respect. We will definitely reach out in the future when we can't bring our pup on trips! Highly recommend Laura”

Sofia was the BEST! Our pups loved spending time with her while we were away! We recieved daily updates and photos which brought us peace of mind! She took care of our home as well...she treated it as if it was her own! We feel very lucky to have gotten to know her, and we will for sure want her to sit for our dogs again!
Emily was fantastic with our two hounds! She was very thorough in making sure she understood their routine and took the time to ask thoughtful questions so everything was done just right. She kept us updated with pictures and regular communication, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. The boys clearly loved her, and it was obvious they were well cared for. She also left our home in great condition. We would absolutely recommend Emily to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitter, and we’d be happy to book with her again!
Christina is so fabulous- she did a wonderful job watching our dog and home for a long trip- she provided updates, took great care of him and left the home cleaner than she found it! Christina is so sweet and we highly recommend her for dog sitting/walking/house sitting! We will be booking her in the future for sure!!
Sara was fantastic! We’ve never left our boy with someone other than family before so we were very anxious, but Sara quickly put our concerns to rest. She was extremely communicative and sent us a bunch of pics every day. I’m so glad we found her and will happily use her again in the future!!
Sandra was absolutely amazing with our 3 dogs and our home while we were away. Our pups all have unique personalities - she handled them all with ease and they all seemed very comfortable with her the moment she walked through the door. She updated us thoroughly during her stay and sent many pictures which was extremely appreciated. We will absolutely use her again!
Desire went above and beyond! She regularly updated about the pets, kept the house tidy, and when we returned from our trip the house was cleaner than when we left! We will absolutely be having Desire house sit more! Two large dogs and a cat can be a lot but she crushed it!
Nathalia is amazing and incredibly reliable! She was so patient with our dog Mona—who can definitely be a bit of a Prima Donna—and cared for her as if she were her own. Natalia kept us updated with regular texts and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Mona was clearly happy, comfortable, and even made a new friend. Nathalia went above and beyond to ensure we felt at ease, and we will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter! Nathalia, welcome to our pack!
I pre booked a house sitting with Omar and his wife because I did not have someone who was definitely going to watch my bulldog. So to be safe I booked Omar. I had a meet and greet with him and his wife and they were so exited to pleas I was very impressed by there enthusiasm. Unfortunately my pooch did not get to Jersey in time for him to watch hence why I only gave 4 stars because I was not able to get the service so was not able to judge whole process .Which was not their fault just timing . Im sure though they would of been great pet sitters from the vibe I got from them In our meeting .So will be booking with them again soon!
