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!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a young girl. My family always had pets. As an owner of my own pets, I understand the love and attention they need. I offer the flexibility and loving space needed to cater to any needs of your family pet. I would love them like they’re my own. I was a nurse before staying home with my kids, who are now in school full time. I’d be home all day with your fur baby so they’d have all my attention for play, cuddles, & walks. I have a fenced in back yard if your fur baby likes to play outside, or plenty of room inside my house to play. My family has an almost 3 year old goldendoodle who is the sweetest pup. She would enjoy having friends to play with.

We recently hired Victoria to care for our dog, Lela, and our cat, Chloe, for a week — and the experience was absolutely exceptional. Finding someone you can fully trust with your fur babies is never easy, but Victoria went above and beyond in every possible way. From our very first meeting, she was professional, attentive, and clearly passionate about animal care. Throughout our trip, she kept in touch with daily updates, complete with beautiful photos and videos that gave us total peace of mind. When we returned home, Lela and Chloe were happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Melanie came by for a visit just to get to know my kitty, Jinjin before I go away for a week. Melanie was great and was able to get Jinjin out of hiding which was awesome and very reassuring. I highly recommend her!

About: I’ve had dogs in my family my entire life, but having a dog of my own has given me a much deeper appreciation for the responsibility and care that goes into being a great pet owner. He means the world to me, and I bring that same level of attention and care to every pet I look after. I treat every dog as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while in my care. I also have experience working with and training puppies as young as 10 weeks old, and I’m comfortable helping reinforce basic training and good habits. I have open availability since I’m in between jobs at the moment. I’m available around the clock, whether it’s a super early check in or something late at night! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure to provide a calm, safe, and comfy environment where your fur babies can feel relaxed and well cared for. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and routines, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any specific instructions from the owner. I always prioritize supervision and make sure pets are secure and comfortable at all times. I’m also happy to send updates and pictures so you can feel confident and connected while your pet is in my care!

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I focus on making every walk or visit fun, safe, and stress-free. I’m attentive to each pet’s routine, energy level, and comfort, and always give them the same love and patience I’d give my own. I’m also experienced with leash training and helping anxious dogs feel calm and cared for. With my remote job, I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate consistent time to pet care each day. I plan my walks and visits around my work hours to ensure reliability and punctuality. Whether it’s early mornings, lunch breaks, or evenings, I make sure every pet receives dependable care and attention. Safety and comfort always come first. Whether I’m walking your dog or caring for them in my home, I make sure they feel relaxed, loved, and secure. I follow each pet’s routine closely, from feeding and walks to playtime and rest, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re happy and well cared for.

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.

He spent extra time with my cats and sent detailed updates with pics every day. He made me very secure in the knowledge that my boys were being well cared for. I look forward to having Andrew take care of my boys in the future!

Pete is amazing, as always. Oscar was so excited to run over and spend time with his best friends. He's so good at calming the Canine Tornado down, getting him to focus on his "studies", and making him feel happy and loved. Thank you, Pete! Oscar misses you already!

Geoff provided amazing and attentive care for our 4 1/2 yo cat while we were away for 6 days. She was alone for the first time since we brought her home from the shelter 6 months ago and we were concerned about her getting lonely. He did a great job of earning her trust and keeping us informed along the way. We returned home to a healthy and well adjusted cat. Thank you, Geoff!

Victoria is a fantastic pet sitter. She cared for my two senior cats over two visits. One of my cats is blind and requires daily medications and eye drops, but Victoria helped me feel at ease while I was traveling. Victoria handled his care routine with such patience and attentiveness, and it was clear she took the time to make sure he was comfortable and stress-free. Her detailed Rover cards after each visit were so reassuring, and she sent plenty of photos so I could see for myself that both cats were happy and in good hands. Senior cats can come with extra needs and a little more complexity, and Victoria didn't miss a beat. If you have older pets or animals with special requirements, I would highly recommend Victoria. We'll definitely be booking again.

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.

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.
