“From the meet and greet to the stay next day, Kajal was very warm, friendly and caring towards Romeo. She made us very comfortable to leave our little one with her. Kajal made sure she sent us pictures and videos and kept us upto date with him. I know Romeo was in good and trusted hands and would definitely leave Romeo with her in the future.”
“Alice is great with my special needs senior dog Porter. He is happy every time he sees her, and she is very responsible with catering to his special needs, allergies and medical conditions. She is very communicative and lets me know any changes observed in Porter during his stay, plus sends cute pictures regularly. I trust her with my deaf/blind senior completely.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs and other animals for about 5 years now. I love all types of animals and know how to act around them to ensure that they feel relaxed. I walk my neighbor's dog all the time and have pet-sat for many friends before. I can administer medication if needed, bring them on walks, or train them. I am currently working part-time, so I have a relatively flexible schedule for overnight sitting, day sitting, dog/cat walks, etc. We can work out logistics! I am all about safety. I am diligent about following any rules or precautions that need to be followed. Please list any concerns or needs you need me to follow and I will ensure that those accommodations are met.
“We needed a sitter last-minute, & were lucky to find Dhruvit. He’s a very nice guy with an entire house & yard that our dog got to enjoy. When we arrived, the sitters’ mother was also there, & both of them were so sweet with Diego! We immediately felt comfortable leaving him in their care. When we picked up Diego, he looked like he had a great day (with some sitters, we can tell he feels anxious to leave, but he was completely comfortable with them). The sitter gave snacks per instructions & provided pics throughout the stay, plus took the time to provide a quick summary at pick up. Strongly recommended!”
“It’s our first time with this application and Bhavani was kind enough to guide me through the process … Romeo first time with his sitter was awesome 🫶🥰 he was happy and exited from the moment he went inside her house and made a new friend and happy to leave when the care was over. Bhavani was very informative, detailed , and was almost in communication with me through the day with videos and pictures updates … very nice and spacious backyard for Romeo to run around 😊 followed instructions with food and potty accordingly.. I will definitely choose her over and over again trusting her with our family dog … thank you Bhavani 🫶 for making Romeo stay an awesome and trusted stay.”
About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I’m a pet owner myself. I’m very patient, attentive, and truly enthusiastic about animals. I’ve cared for puppies as well as senior dogs, and I understand that each pet has unique needs and routines. I’m also knowledgeable about basic training and enjoy helping pets feel comfortable, safe, and happy. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home with a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day, including regular potty breaks, playtime, and multiple walks. I also have a fenced yard and a safe environment where dogs can relax and get fresh air. I love having pets as part of my day and making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and happy. My home provides a safe, welcoming environment for pets. I have a large fenced yard and plenty of indoor space for your pet to relax and play comfortably. If needed, I can also set up a crate based on your request and your pet’s routine. We also have nearby walkways and parks, making it easy to enjoy regular outdoor walks and fresh air.
“Gurdeep was able to put all my fears at rest. This was the first time we boarded Sasha and I can’t say enough about how happy she was. The house was clean and welcoming. I will definitely bring Sasha again.”
“Ashe always has the best time in daycare! I love seeing her run in and forget about me the moment we arrive. Julissa treats all the pups in her care like her own and gives them plenty of dog and human socialization and playtime. We always look forward to bringing Ashe back!”
“Thank you very much Jacqueline for your excellent and cordial care. I feel very comfortable and confident. I definitely recommend the good service that Jacqueline provides. Five stars are to few for you !!!”
“Wonderful experience. He is super attentive and really wants to know your pet's needs. His place is beautiful and with so much space any pet would be happy and comfortable. Would def recommend.”

Through years of experience, I gained lots motivation to take care of pets. It taught me patience, care, responsibility, compassion, empathy, creativity, love, and so much education about dogs, cats and other animals!

I also really enjoy cooking, acquiring new languages, horse back riding, drawing, and painting. I would say that I am a caring and affectionate person due to my empathy for people and animals.

I am available full time and I look forward to taking care of your fur baby! Thank you for your time. Kindly, Artsy Becca I occasionally work from home as an online tutor so I will have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby! I enjoy a good long walk just as much as your dog does. Why not let them sniff and explore a new spot or a new flower for 10 minutes? I will keep your fur baby lots of company and follow whatever instructions you give me! I am very understanding and compassionate about every parents needs and preferences when caring for your pups!
“This was my first time ever leaving Ella with someone other that pet boarding (at a facility) or family. Berthie was amazing with Ella. He was consistent in his communication while Ella was in his care and eased any concerns that I had. Ella had a great time! I will definitely book with Berthie again.”
“William is an excellent Dog Sitter. His hours are very flexible, if I get stuck at work a little late. My dog loves him. As soon as we pull up to the house, he starts wagging his tail all excited to go visit his new friends.”
“Joy had very good time with Sudhesh and his family. He regularly sent us pictures and updates. She felt at home and playeda lot with their dog. I recommend him and will definitely contact them again for future dog sitting/boarding.”

Metuchen dog parents share their Rover experiences
Nan really really loves dogs. She treats our dog like family and our dog is always happy to see Nan and her daughter. She is very responsive to dog sitting requests and always shares great videos and photos. She makes it very convenient to go about our business and know that our doggie is being well looked after with care.
We had a great experience having Dhruvit and Krutika watch our dog Chester. They were very responsive both before and during the booking, easy to communicate with, and made drop-off and pickup simple and stress-free. They kept us updated throughout the day with messages and pictures, which we really appreciated. Our dog seemed to have a wonderful time. They were especially helpful since we were in a bit of a pinch, and we would definitely book with them again.
I just picked up Bronco (14y/o) and Maximus (11m/o) from Bonnie and Yee. My boys looked happy and looked like they had fun. They slept really well in the car and when we got home. This was a last minute booking because I couldn't find a family member to watch them. Bonnie gave me so many updates with pictures which gave me a peace of mind that they were given great care. All my questions were answered especially when I asked for feedback because this is my boys' first experience being watched by non-family members. They took care of my Bronco who I know would be upset (new people, new place). He's older and more sensitive to new changes. I highly recommend them for any loving, caring pet parents out there who need someone they can trust for their fur babies. I'm really grateful for both of them.
We left Cody for a few hours of daycare and had such a positive experience. The sitter had great communication before and during the stay, and even sent a video update which I really appreciated. It’s always reassuring to see your pup having fun! Cody came home happy and completely worn out — the best combo. Highly recommend!
From the meet and greet to the stay next day, Kajal was very warm, friendly and caring towards Romeo. She made us very comfortable to leave our little one with her. Kajal made sure she sent us pictures and videos and kept us upto date with him. I know Romeo was in good and trusted hands and would definitely leave Romeo with her in the future.
We are beyond grateful to James and Teri for looking after our pup Kira on such short notice! 🐾 From the moment we dropped her off, we knew she was in the best hands. They truly are the most amazing people on the planet so warm, kind, and clearly passionate about dogs. Throughout our time away (we were at a wedding), they sent us so many adorable videos and updates, which completely put our minds at ease and let us enjoy the day knowing Kira was happy and loved. It honestly felt like she was part of their family! Kira got along so well with all their lovely dogs it was like a little doggy vacation for her! 🐶✨ She was showered with love, cuddles, and playtime, and we could tell she had the best time ever. We couldn’t recommend James and Teri more highly. If you’re looking for sitters who will love your dog like their own, don’t hesitate they are absolute gems. Thank you both a million times over! 💕🐾
I couldn’t be happier with the care April provided for my dog, Dodo! She took time to schedule a meet and greet with me ahead of time to make sure my pup would get along with hers so she could have the best experience possible and from the moment we met, I felt completely at ease leaving Dodo in her hands. April is warm, attentive, and clearly has a deep love for animals. Dodo came home happy, well-exercised, and clearly loved — it was obvious she had a great time at her care. Would definitely recommend her to other pup parents!
