“Victoria has taken care of our three cats so well when we were away for vacation. Each cat was given so much love!!! Highly recommend her if you need a cat sitter.”


“Maryann took great care of Bailey. He loved getting all the pets and love from her every visit. She followed my instructions very well and my house was not a mess when I got home. I will definitely book her again!”


“Amanda is amazing and always on time. It did't take long for our cats to warm up to her. Our cats were well-fed, and clearly loved while we were away. Daily updates and photos were a huge comfort. I’ll definitely be booking again and highly recommend to any fellow cat parent!”


“Second time Tez watched our Benny and we couldn’t be happier! Always detailed with the daily check-ins and also a top notch pet photographer😂🥰 Thank you so much Tez & I know Benny is already super attached to you so we’ll definitely be reaching out again!”


“I highly recommend Dali! I was worried about leaving my two cats for several days, but I felt very reassured by Dali’s frequent updates and pics. She was very thorough, professional, and caring. My cats (who definitely have separation anxiety) appeared very comfortable and grounded upon my return. Great pet sitter!!!”


“Skylar is amazing and always takes great care of the cats while we’re away! She sends great updates and I’m always comfortable leaving my two cats in her very capable hands.”


“Laura did a great job and gave me real peace of mind when I was on vacation. We had very hot weather and I appreciated her letting me know that the house temperature was cool and they had plenty of water”


“Paula has a lot of experience and really knows how to handle things smartly, so I trust her. I’d feel totally comfortable leaving my beloved cat with her. I was lucky to find Paula on Rover, and from now on, she’ll always be the one I trust with my cat.”


“Mandi was absolutely the best with caring for our tuxedo cat Frenchy while we were gone for a week. All of her updates were detailed and her photos were great! She went above and beyond in giving us peace of mind knowing that our cat was well taken care of. I will not hesitate to use Mandi again and we will recommend her to all of my family & friends in the area. This was the first time we used Rover and am very impressed with it. Thanks again Mandi and “Go Pack Go ?”!”


About: I grew up with dogs in my home, and when I became a teacher over 10 years ago, I began dog walking and pet sitting for others, too, over my summer break. I have cared for dogs with a variety of needs, including high energy puppies, animals with anxiety, and elderly animals with mobility issues. As a teacher with summers off, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend as much time with your pets as is needed. We will have plenty of time for long walks, play sessions, and belly scratches. I will ensure your pet feels comfortable and loved in your home, even when you’re away. I will stick to whatever routine you’ve already established, treating your pet and your home with just as much care as you do.

“Nathalia was great!! She took great care of our cat while we were away for a long weekend. She left the place neat & tidy as well! Will definitely be booking here again.”


About: I have had dogs since I was born in 1960, my little Lab, Rocky then he was joined with our German Shepherd ,Dutch. I have always connected with dogs. Over the years there was Shepherd mix sisters, Baby, Tammy, Fared and Dutchess. In the group was also my mom's English Sheep dog named Charlie and now my daughter's little guy, Rudy. All of them were loved so much. More recent my Dachshund Bella of 12 1/2 yrs . My sweat heart crossed the Rainbow bridge July 29, 2022 at 12:35 am. She had liver issue and it broke my heart. I cared for her those last months and she was never in pain and lived five months longer then the Vet said. Bella passed with me at home in her favorite place on my sofa, I was there, right there with her. I was a mess but I am convinced 3 1/2 months later Bella sent Junior to me from a rescue as a scared 50 lb American Bully Pitty mix. He is 9 yrs old now and recently nursed him back to health from a reaction to cytopoint allergy shot May 28th 2025. I had to teach him to eat and drink and even walk again and with constant support of Vet emergency office (not the vet that gave him the shot) He is fantastic now. After his bland diet of a few weeks I started him on non-kibble food because I do not want to chance another reaction to cytopoint in January. So far he is more alert and less anxious. I am semi-retired and want to do something but not hard physical stuff of the past and desire to do what I love , care for animals and get paid for it and have no stress to really enjoy mowing and weed wack my lawn and gardening. Also , get back to studying foreign languages like Spanish, Italian and French. Don't test me, not that good yet. As I mentioned how I took care of Junior who is doing great ( doesn't get along with other dogs ) and Bella .I also wash Junior's paws after every walk to get residue off him. Do my part to push back against his allergy. I would be happy to rinse your dogs paws off after a walk. Just a damp cloth and dry. I travel with them.. just an idea for you to think about.


About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since childhood. I have almost a decade of dog walking and pet sitting experience. I know how important animals are to their owners and treat them as such. Currently, I am only doing pet sitting and dog walking as my full time job so I have a lot of time to take care of your pet’s needs. I babysit small animals at my home but bigger animals I go to the client’s home due to lack of space at my home for bigger animals. I also find that it helps the pet get use to me if I am in their environment .

About: I’ve had my dog, Winston, for 10 year's. My family is usually busy, so when i’m home i make sure to walk him at least once a day. I’ve watched a few of my friends’ dogs and cats as well, and have walked multiple dogs from my neighborhood. I am a graduate student at MSU and I commute from Nutley, so I get home fairly earlier from class. The first thing I do when I get home is take my dog on a walk. I can crate dogs, take them out, feed them, play with them, show them love, and just spend some quality time with them! I always make sure to respect boundaries though and read their body signals when they need space.


“Delaney was amazing! She was so friendly, reliable, and clearly cares about animals. She kept me updated with photos and my cats warmed up to her so quickly. She even went the extra mile to clean their food mat and offered to take out our trash so the house wouldn’t smell when we got home. I came back to happy, relaxed pets and everything spotless. 10/10 would recommend — she’s the best!”


About: I started working with animals at 18, from dog grooming to caring for friends’ pets. Over time, I learned that every animal has its own personality and needs, and that patience and compassion are key to gaining their trust. Now, as a proud mom of two dogs, my love for animals has only grown stronger, and it inspires me to treat every pet with the same level of care I give my own. currently work at a beauty salon from Tuesday to Saturday, but I have a flexible schedule, especially from Tuesday to Thursday. I’m fully available on Mondays. From Tuesday to Thursday, I can care for your little ones in the mornings or after 5:00 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are a bit more limited for me, but with advance planning, I’m happy to help. I can take them on walks, assist with feeding, or keep them company at night if they’re home alone. I adapt with love, commitment, and responsibility to their needs. I provide a calm, safe environment with lots of love and patience. I can care for your pet in your home or visit for walks, feeding, and companionship. I’m flexible, respectful of routines, and treat every fur baby like family.

About: I am a highly experienced dog & cat owner with a great love for all animals. We walk, we run, we play! As you can see from my gallery, most of my clients are repeat clients who some I even have worked with for over a couple of years. I keep a good relationship with every pet parent. My gentle nature will win your pet over. GUARANTEED! I am confident I can provide an excellent experience, going above and beyond to keep your pet comfortable & happy. When boarding with me, rest assured your pet will get all the space, sun, and walks needed. I reside in a luxury complex with a private dog park in Lyndhurst/Rutherford. If you have a senior pet, this is the place for them. I have no children and always have calm energy at home. I am currently at home full time, I lead an active lifestyle and love fitting my pet care in it! Daily routines include walks or jogs in park, relaxing on the couch with pets, and playing with them! (They are welcomed on my bed and on couches!) I am very loving and gentle towards all the animals I care for. They are spoiled rotten by me! I make sure they’re always in a clean and calm environment. I avoid guests, and let them do things they enjoy to do. They have a fresh water fountain, food, and even a basket of toys! This is also a non smoking home, so the air is fresh as well. No children.

“We were away for the weekend and Jennifer came for five visits. She is punctual, conscientious, and she handled our dogs with care. We hope to use her services again in the near future.”

Scott S.
“Scott is a wonderful, caring person. He walks our dog all the time. He rescued his pitbull Junior from the pound and has given him a great home. Junior was not socialized with other people or dogs, and Scott has worked with him and walks him every day. Now junior comes up to me and lets me pet him. Junior is great on leash and a much calmer dog now living with Scott. Scott is familiar with all breeds of dog, big and small. He’s very attentive and caring with our Pekingese. Scott spends extra time with our dog whenever he walks him, just to ensure he is comfortable and cared for. I have known Scott for almost 12 years and would trust him with any dog. Scott would be a great asset to Rover.”
