“Jess did a amazing job taking care of all of our fur babies! She was great at communicating her daily plans to us, and was consistently updating us with pictures. Our animals definitely felt comfortable with her! She was very tidy and we could barely tell she was even there when we got home! Would definitely recommend her to friends and family and will definitely be booking with her in the future!”


“I can't thank Aja enough for watching my 2 crazy beagles! She spent the weekend at the house, sending me updates. When we arrived back from home it's like she was never there! She was very respectful to my home. I will definitely be booking her again in the future! The dogs loved her, we love her!”


“Olivia goes above & beyond for her clients! When faced with unexpected circumstances she adapts quickly & is understanding. She will always be a top choice for us when booking a dog sitter and someone we trust!”


“Keegan has taken care of my little dog twice now. He communicates in a timely manner and sends updates and photos thru the day which is very appreciated. He's been very helpful. I definitely recommend him.”


“Mia is a very caring and loving sitter. This was her first time sitting for us and she had a couple of doggie peculiarities to deal with and she handled them well. We have an older dog who is somewhat spoiled but she was treated with love and patience. She communicated with us to keep us updated. I felt very comfortable the way Mia cared for our pet and our home.”


“Corena was an incredible dog sitter! She watched my dog Zoey and house sat for four nights while I was camping. She took great care of my dog and followed all my instructions perfectly. She really went above and beyond keeping me updated on all the fun my pup was having with her and cleaning up the house before I got home. She was amazing and I’ll definitely ask her to watch Zoey again next time I need a dog sitter!”

I’ve got lots of free time as I just quit my full time job to spend more time at home with my senior pups and teenager! I would care for your babes with the carefree fun of your favorite auntie but the watchful eye of a helicopter mom! You can trust me to put your pets best interest 1st but also know if an accident were to happen I’d be able to jump to action with first aid care or a quick drive for help and FULL CLEAR COMMUNICATION.

Newark pet parents share their Rover experiences
We recently had the pleasure of having Lily housesit and petsit for our family while we were out of town, and we couldn’t be more pleased with her services. Lily was an absolute delight to work with. She communicated exceptionally well, ensuring that we were always informed and at ease during our time away. Lily followed all our instructions meticulously and made sure everything ran smoothly in our absence. We were pleasantly surprised to return to a home that was in even better condition than when we left it. Her attention to detail and care for our home was truly impressive. Our dog, Cooper, had just undergone surgery for a mass on his abdomen, and Lily provided him with top-notch care. She was very attentive to his needs and showed genuine concern for his well-being. When Cooper had a fall, Lily promptly called us, expressing her concern about his pain and ensuring he received the necessary attention. We highly recommend Lily to anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and professional housesitter or petsitter. She went above and beyond our expectations, and we are incredibly grateful for her exceptional service.
