“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!”
“Victoria watched our anxious eight-year-old cat for a week. Every day, we looked forward to receiving cute pictures and a description of the visit. When we returned, our cat was noticeably happier and healthier than he has been after visits from previous pet sitters. Victoria gave our pet plenty of love and attention. You can tell that she really cares about the animals she pet sits.”
“Did a great job with my cats. Played with them and my cats felt comfortable around her. Would definitely rebook with her. The updates from her were great and I felt comfortable leaving my cats with Skylar.”
“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!”
“Gordon is always great with Asher! He is also really good at communicating and Gordon also makes sure I get some fun pictures of Asher when they are hanging out together. Recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Tez is an excellent pet sitter since we had to do a somewhat last minute booking. She takes note of everything during the initial visit and does her best to become flexible to the visits. Would recommend her to anyone in Union City.”
“Pete loves animals and is phenomenal with them. He’s cared for my dogs and cat numerous times now, and I trust him with them more than anyone else. They do, too - Pete is hands down each of my animals’ favorite human. We feel so safe knowing that Pete is caring for and nurturing our fur babies like he does his own. Five stars isn’t enough for Pete!!”
About: I cared for family dogs growing up. I had a rescue dog. I walk dogs for neighbors and referrals. I enjoy spending time with animals! I have 2 school age children. I want to have a flexible schedule to be there for my children while earning pay doing something I love! I have a fenced yard and a deck to keep pets safe where I can keep a close eye on them. Safety is my priority.
About: I’ve been volunteering with cats for over 6 years, and have owned several cats throughout my life. I’ve cat sat in my previous agency, where I worked making house calls for cat owners. I work remotely, and am usually available for most of the weekdays with flexible schedule. On weekends, I am available as well. I own a car, so being able to travel is easy. I have two very spoiled dogs and have fostered dogs throughout the past 7 years. I am responsible and reliable, and very communicative. I had previously been part of a private dog walking service in Montclair prior to the pandemic.
About: I have been around dogs and cats my entire life. I’ve also had a variety of pets, including hamsters, guinea pigs, and turtles. I have trained my own dog since she was a puppy and have experience working with senior pets. I am always ready to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I am currently a college student and part time military police for the New Jersey Army National Guard. I have a flexible schedule so I can easily adjust to meet your pet care needs at a time that works best for you. I have a fenced in yard and have a lot of knowledge on crate training pets. I always triple check leashes and harnesses before walks. I make sure doors are always closed behind me to keep your pet safe and secure.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, caring for animals truly brings me joy. While I’m especially intuitive with body language and behavior, my experience extends to caring for a wide variety of pets over many years. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always approach care with patience and respect. I’m experienced with shy, energetic, and even “spicy” personalities, and I’m comfortable administering oral medications in a calm, low-stress way. I prioritize both physical and mental enrichment, making sure even the laziest pets get appropriate movement, stimulation, and attention based on their needs. I’m fast to respond, reliable, detail-oriented, and highly attentive. I take pride in providing safe, thoughtful, and loving care so you can feel confident your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I work as a professional hairdresser & have an extremely flexible schedule. Mornings nights weekdays weekends you need me I'm there. reliable transportation. Will answer your txt call in .2 seconds. Literally I keep my house super clean and tidy home no toxic chemicals or things animals can get into. Have a huge cat wall. toys- interactive things to stimulate & entertain. 2 doors to enter so no escapees!!!
“Kelly is the absolute best. This was our first time on Rover, and her communications were clear and quick, and she did great work reassuring us that our pup was in good hands. Loved the photographs, and really appreciated the time she took to communicate with us by phone and by text. We’re only slightly concerned that our pup now likes her more than us! 😀 Hugely impressed with Kelly - she’ll take fab care of your pups.”
“Luna was an incredible pet sitter! She went above and beyond to take good care of our cat while we were away, and she even brought along new toys for the cat to play with. We look forward to working with Luna again soon and can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“Andrew was great with Toby and Harley. He kept me updated on how they were doing. Sent photos and videos showing that all was well. Was excellent with Harley the more reserved of the 2. He has care and concern for the pets in hi his care. Both Harley and Toby enjoyed having Andrew as their sitter. I would recommend Andrew !!!!”

Skylar did a great job taking care of Silvestre. She was prompt and reliable each day. Silvestre appeared to be in good form when we returned, and he looked happy in the photos Skylar sent to us. We had a steady stream of photos to enjoy. We are very pleased!
Yong was an excellent Rover sitter for my cats. He was incredibly diligent, followed every instruction exactly, and made sure their medications were administered properly—which was especially important to me. He was also very communicative throughout the stay, sending plenty of pictures and thoughtful updates that gave me total peace of mind. I came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and would absolutely book with him again.
Julia was extremely quick, responsive and understanding to a last-minute drop in request I had sent out on Christmas Eve. When I was worried I would have no one to watch my Nori over the holidays, Julia came through and was very transparent about what she needed in order to gjve Nori the best care! She was super flexible and sent frequent pictures and updates and let me know whenever she would need some flexibility on her end, which I was happy to accommodate! I will definitely be considering her in the future if I ever need a cat sitter again! :)
Paula is a Rockstar!!! A snow storm was occurring. I told Paula to be safe and skip the visit if unsafe. She came out in a storm, my complex wasn't cleared and made it to my Bebe. When she messaged they were playing. My heart is filled with joy. This is her 3rd time caring for my cat and she gas given exceptional care. The BEST!!!
Kat and her family are wonderful! Took time to understand my Ninja and work at his pace so that he could be comfortable, always updated me and doubled checked with me whenever something wasn’t clear. Will most definitely rebook Kat, I highly recommend her very friendly nice and super understanding!
We’ve had several different cat sitters over the years as we moved through different neighborhoods, and Rivera is by far the best we’ve ever had and my cat’s absolute favorite. My cat, who is usually shy with new people, warmed up to her right away. Rivera sends thoughtful updates and photos, which gives me peace of mind when I am away. If you are looking for someone who loves animals and is reliable, she’s the one.
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!
I book with Karen all the time. She knows what she is doing and she is very thoughtful. There was a power outage when I was gone and she thought to tell me while I was away. She was concerned about the automatic feeder. She also made sure that the cans I had for Sheba were put aside for recycling.
Mandi and I and Emma did a meet and greet, Mandi is absolutely very caring and a cat lover and wanting to know everything about Emma. We talked about Emma’s life as a very young cat which was one of abuse and neglect and therefore multiple serious health issues and because of her traumatic early life Emma is very shy. I know that Mandi would take the best care of Emma as she approached her with understanding and love and even though Emma kept herself partially hidden, she did not run away as Mandi’s tone was soft and loving.
