“Diane was great & I'd recommend her for your dog sitting needs. Cared for a senior dog with medication needs. Lots of walks! Kept us informed on how our dog was doing. A joy to talk to and was very friendly.”
“Claudia took such amazing care of my dog! She shared lots of photos and detailed updates every day, so I always knew how he was doing. She not only took him out for walks but also played with him at home and even let him snuggle with her at night. My pup absolutely adored her — when it was time to leave, he even sat on the lawn refusing to go, with watery eyes. It’s clear he felt very loved and happy with Claudia. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter! 💛🐾”
“Everything went well with my dog's overnight stay. She got her walks and Sandra communicated with me throughout her stay with photos. Much appreciated Sandra! Hope to use your services again. Lisa H.”
“Totiyana is so patient and caring! Our Blu is a big ball of energy, especially around other dogs but she could handle him. Will definitely be using her services again! Thank you!”
“What can I say, Miss Candice loves what she does. And it shows, It’s like home away from for my fur baby who all but jumps out the car window when we pull up for his stay. Thank goodness my window was up. Total opposite when pull up to the groomer.”
“Bethany is a great sitter. Nala loves staying with her and playing with her dog, Star. Bethany is a great communicator and posts several photos throughout the stay. Great experience all around. ”
“Justin & Stephanie were AMAZING!! Our dog Wendy absolutely loved them! She had such a fun time. She’s a big girl who loves to play and their dogs provided so much entertainment for her. Justin and Stephanie were very communicative and sent us pictures throughout the week! We will definitely be booking with them again! Thank you guys so much!”
“Barbra is the only sitter I trust to look after my senior dog when I go away. She sends amazing pictures and is great at keeping communication open. 10/10 everytime!”
“Elizabeth was great! She sent plenty of updates during our dog’s stay, which was greatly appreciated and followed all instructions when it came to him. She was also super sweet and her family was just as sweet, we felt very comfortable leaving Meechie with her.”
“Thanks Suniana for taking care of our dog Sunny while we were out in vacation. Sunny had a great time with you. Thanks for sharing lots of pics and videos with us each day.”
“Lindsey did a fantastic job caring for our 6 month old pup. She communicated a minimum of 2x per day and always provided pictures with each communication. We will definitely be using Lindsey again in the future.”
“Never had to leave my pup behind before, was super nervous. He did great, Tabby was great. Got my man back happy as could be. Must’ve had a good time because he is the nervous type and it was like he didn’t even realize we were gone! She was awesome. Easy drop off, easy pick up. Got my dude back in one piece and happy. Couldn’t ask for better!”
“Sharon and her family is great. My first impression was that I felt I was dropping my puppy off at my family's house, a place where he would be loved and cared for and not left in a crate while I was away. I've already been there twice and will be going there as long as I can when the need arises. Thank you Sharon!”
“I have to say this with a warm heart that I absolutely agree with the other reviews. Latoya was professional, and kind. When BJ entered her home, I knew that I didn't have to worry about him. Latoya is amazing. I can't wait to book with her again.”
“Andrea and her family were amazing with our family pet Tank. In addition to detailed updates on eating and drinking, she made sure he had his meds which are crucial to his health. We were so worried about leaving our pet for a week but Andrea made sure to comfort us every day that things were fine. We simply can’t thank her enough for the opportunity to see our beloved grandchildren whom all live miles away. Thank you so very much!”
“Yvonne and Joe Thank you so much for taking care of Romeo while we were away at our son’s wedding. You did a great job and we appreciate all the pictures you sent while we were away it made us feel comfortable knowing that Romeo was in good hands. We will not hesitate to bring Romeo back. Thanks again Greg and Denice.”
About: I have had animals all of my life. Love Dogs, big and small, Cats finicky and cuddly. I have taken care of special needs animals and have managed medications as well as shots and measuring blood sugar. Currently I have two rescue Greyhounds and a Jack Russell Terrier, basically 2 couch potatoes and a WonderDog who never stops chasing a stick. Last but not least I have Sage, a 15-year-old grey tabby who looks really good for her age and puts the Pups in their place. In any event I am looking forward to meeting your pets in the near future. ~Regards, Kelli I am currently semi-retired and have all of the time in the world. In other words my schedule is quite flexible, so I am able to work around yours. Although I do not offer pet sitting in my home, I am able to accommodate any needs or schedule for your pets in your home. I am also able to transport your pets in my SUV for Park, Veterinary visits etc..
“Sara took a great care of our little guy. She gave timely updates and I can see that our Leo had so much fun and comfortable at her place. I would definitely keep our little guy with Sara again.”

Newark dog parents share their Rover experiences
Maisie had the best time staying with Katherine, her fiancé, and her new besties Ollie and Luna. She shared lots of photos and updates which made leaving our baby with someone else not feel scary at all. Maisie came back good and tired and seemed to love every minute of her mini vacation.
Mackenzie is outstanding!!!! She is warm and personable in person and gave Virgo the best of care. From the photos she sent, I saw that Virgo was having an especially good time. Mackenzie stayed in touch with questions and things I should know and sent delightful photos and videos. She has a warm, generous spirit, as well as being very practical and communicative.
