Pet care experience

TLC & a home away from home!

We are a duo with plenty of pet experience! Our fur-baby is 17 year old Mini-Pinscher mix Blas and he's excited to meet your dog or cat. Between my husband and I we have over 30 years of pet-caring experience. I've had dogs since I was a kid and he's had every pet under the sun. Your dog will be free to roam and enjoy the house as if it was their own. Blas is friendly with other dogs and doesn't mind sharing his toy collection. We have a dog run nearby as well as plenty of areas around the house for your dog to enjoy his walks and outside time. Doggy Day Care: we need at least 24 hour booking notice to arrange a seamless drop off for your pet. We cannot accept unspayed females nor male dogs that are not neutered. We offer pick up and drop off service to most areas of northern NJ as well as Manhattan and the Bronx. Gonzalo will probably be the one doing pickups and drop offs!

Ivette and Gonzalo were great sitters for Shadow. I was so grateful for them accepting my last-minute request. They were extremely attentive to his needs and were very communicative.

Ivette and Gonzalo were excellent! Their communication was great and we always felt our dog was in good hands. 10/10 would recommend and use them again.

Ivette & Gonzalo were fantastic! Super friendly & flexible. Took amazing care of our furry daughter, she went on walks and seems got pampered quite a bit from the photos we got. Thank you!

Ivette was amazing with Linnie! I got lots of pictures, and am happy Linnie had a cozy home with new friends while I was away. Definitely booking with them again!

Ivette and Gonzalo took excellent care of Oliver. This was Oliver’s second time staying with them. They are attentive, they provide updates and pictures, I never have to worry when Oliver stays with them. They are very caring caregivers. Oliver enjoyed his visit and looks forward to seeing them again!! Thank you so much for taking care of my pet as if he were your own. I truly appreciate it.

Safety, trust & environment

We usually let pups roam. We have a dog bed and can crate if needed or required. We have wee wee pads for dogs to relieve themselves if they're not trained, if it’s very cold or raining heavily.

Pets

A typical day

Your dog can roam the house and sleep wherever he or she pleases. We have a dog bed they can use if they prefer. We can go on joint walks with my dog or solo walks, depending on your preference. Thanks to our work schedules, there is always someone home. Rarely is our dog left alone! We have two parks nearby and great spaces to take walks!

We would need to know feeding schedules, walking schedules/demands, and how they get along with other dogs. We would also need to know if the pup tends to eat things off the street that we might need to watch out for.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
