“We had a lunch meeting that was postponed last minute and needed literally last minute help with our girls as it was after the check out time. Natasha was great in responding promptly and was also able to have Neerav to pick the girls up and drop them off after three hours. They are true life savers. Also sent pictures on the girls on their activities!”


“Steven and Tracy are ah-mazing with Jaxson. When I drop him off in the mornings for doggy daycare he’s usually tired but as soon as he sees them waiting in the driveway his tail starts wagging and he’s immediately excited, and I love that. I work a lot and having a safe, fun place for him to socialize with other dogs (annd they have 6 of their own) and be loved on is exactly what I was looking for. I always look forward to the pictures and videos they send throughout the day, and they are great with communication. When I pick him up after work we’re both tired lol, and that’s all a busy dog mom could hope for. I appreciate the service immensely and I’m very happy I picked the right people for Jaxson on my first try with the Rover App.”


“Thanks for taking great care of my Jersey boy! I appreciate you taking him out for a walk on a rainy day. He loved the attention and hopefully made new friend. Will book again soon!”


“Gabby was super awesome watching my dog for the day! Normally my puppy is shy and sad when I have to leave for work, but Gabby and her dogs made my puppy feel like part of the family! When my puppy came home she was very tired because I knew she had so much fun with Gabby! Highly recommend!”


“Klainer took great care of our two fur babies while we went to some events in NYC for the day. This was our first time having both dogs watched together, as our youngest is only 6 months old. I never had to ask for updates because Klainer provided continuous ones, which really put our minds at ease during the day. They came back to us loved and tired, making our night super easy. If you’re from out of town like we were, I highly recommend trusting her with your fur baby! Very clean apartment, too.”


About: As a paw parent myself, I treat yours as if they are my own. I have two cockapoos that are well socialized, and loving. I have been a Rover parent, also have hired personal pet-sitters so know what I expect and what you should expect. I treat your pet as if they were my own. It takes patience and kindness - simple. I walk pets 3 times a day, 5am, 3pm, 9pm. They are fed either 1/2 times a day at your preference with snacks and treats in between. If you allow plain treats such as fruits, carrot sticks, Cheerios, etc. I am in the healthcare field, Pet CPR/First Aid certified and thankfully have not experience any medical emergencies. I live in an apartment surrounded by two parks, and within 10 mins of dog parks (at your preference). They are free to roam my apartment and allowed on furniture and my bed (at your preference).

About: I have years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including seniors and puppies. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like family. I’m comfortable with administering medications, following feeding and walking routines, and providing lots of affection. What sets me apart is my reliability, calm energy, and genuine love for animals. I understand how important it is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment while you're away. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, slow-paced walks, or just company on the couch, I tailor my care to meet their unique needs. I work from home, which allows me to provide flexible and consistent care throughout the day. I'm available for regular walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship.

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. At my home, I offer a secure, fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and exercise. I have two friendly, well-behaved dogs who love the company of new friends and help create a welcoming, social environment.

I maintain a clean, calm, and loving environment where your pet will feel safe, happy, and cared for.

About: Since a child, home has always been made complete with pets, and that is where a genuine love for animals began within me. I’ve been around different breads and ages, from shitzu to pit bull and puppies to seniors, which gave me a broader understanding in the proper care (feeding structure, walking/exercise, pet proofing environments, etc.) and comfort required for each individual pet. The years of experience that I’ve had with these incredible fur babies has led me to ultimately pursuing my passion in helping others care for theirs! I am currently working from home, leaving me with an overall open and flexible schedule. Pet daycare is available Monday-Friday until 6pm (weekends can be further discussed). Also, due to involvement with my home church, I do partake in group/classes from 7pm-10pm, Monday-Wednesday, for anyone interested in pet boarding availability. My home is a pet-proofed, cozy house with a spacious, fenced-in backyard, located near a park only a few minutes away walking distance. There aren’t any children nor any pets at home, creating plenty of space for your pet to safely and freely enjoy! While caring for your pets, I always prioritize following their set schedules as well, in regard to their feeding, exercise, potty, rest, and medication (if necessary). I want every owner to feel peace while they are away, so I make sure to provide consistent communication and photos/videos updates throughout the stay!

“Evelina saved the day by watching Luna for us while we were at a nearby concert. She was super communicative and sent a lot of pictures too! You can tell she really loves dogs! Definitely recommend!”


About: I can’t remember a time I haven’t had a pet. I’ve been ever stage of life with the animals I’ve had in my life and I thank them for that experience. I’m currently in the beginning stages of starting a secondhand clothing business along with taking on freelance graphic design and illustration projects so I’m lucky to have the flexibility make my own schedule Very pet friendly environment with lots of opportunities to socialize. Dog park in my neighborhood with lots of responsibilities per parents. We have crates snd pets beds for when our fur babies need alone time.

About: I have been a major dog lover since I was younger, when my mom and I rescued a retired greyhound. Ever since I have learned to crate, potty and leash train dogs of all sizes. During my time in university I pet and house sat for different families in my community providing undivided attention, daily walks and love from an animal lover who was in need of some pet time! I currently work 4 days a week with plenty of flexibility to change days of the week allowing for full attention during walks and check ins. With three days off I am happy to do longer walks and stays when possible! Providing a safe and comfortable environment is priority. With only one set of neighbors below our apartment and plenty of space inside and a park across the street, there is more than enough space and limited noise for your pets. When caring for pets in their own space I follow the clients guidelines and schedules to ensure pets are relaxed and maintain routine.

About: I’ve been a dedicated dog lover for years! I raised a sweet Devon for three years and currently care for a lovable Yorkshire Terrier. I'm especially close to my Yorkie — she sleeps in my arms every night! I understand how much pets mean to us, and I treat every dog like family. Whether it’s cuddle time, potty breaks, or just keeping them company, I’m attentive, gentle, and truly a dog person at heart. I’d love to care for your furry friend like my own. Pet care is a natural and joyful part of my daily life. I currently care for my own pets, including a Yorkie and a Devon Rex cat, so I’m already used to routines like feeding, potty breaks, grooming, and giving them attention throughout the day. I organize my schedule to make sure I have time for walks, play, and cuddles — whether it’s early in the morning or in the evening. Adding another furry friend to my routine is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for! When pets stay in my home, I make sure they feel comfortable and safe from the moment they arrive. I introduce them slowly to the space, provide a cozy area to rest, and follow their regular schedule for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime. I only accept a small number of pets at a time, so they get plenty of attention and care. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and full of love — and I always supervise interactions if other pets are around.

About: Have experience with shelter dogs as well as puppies; very patient and understands how to read and speak dog. Currently own 2 dogs with different personalities, but love each other. Working from home full time. Have availability throughout the day between meetings. Have my own dog which will need to go out 3x a day minimum. Pets are not allowed on the bed but everything else is either hidden or safe for dogs to interact with. Everything is pre tested by my own puppy.

About: I have 2 dogs back home- poodle and golden, they are 6 years old. I have been with them since they were 2 months old, and they are healthy and happy until now! I’ll take care of yours like they are mine, so they’ll never feel lonely! I am currently working full time— usually 9-4pm, so by 4pm i’ll take dogs on walks and another night walk. For the weekend i am usually home and free, so i’ll play with the dogs and keep them and myself entertained :) Dogs are one of the most friendliest creatures, i treat them like a child as they are fragile. Cleanliness is also an important thing, so i’ll brush their hair, and keep them entertained.

Maisha T.Star Sitter
“I’ve used Mai for almost 2 years. Working in corrections brought us together but she has become family and my dog’s fur-aunty. My job is very demanding but she makes it easy to accommodate my last minute schedule/conferences/trainings, and follows my instructions/schedule to a T. When I travel it is a bonus she lives close to EWR. She sends updates with pictures 2x-day. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to leave my babies with. A few of my co-workers have been recommended to her and use her as well.”

“Amanda is incredibly conscientious and respectful of an owners wishes for their pets. She’s punctual, engaging, and really seems to care about the pets she’s responsible for. 10/01 would recommend !”


Sophia R.
“I always ask Sophie to stay at my place and take care of my cats whenever I go away and she always takes great care of them. I never have to feel guilty leaving my cats because I know they’re in perfect hands with Sophie. She showers them in love, plays with them until they’re exhausted, always follows my very detailed meal plan, and leaves my place impeccably clean when I come back. My cats adore Sophie and get so excited whenever she comes over, so I can’t recommend her enough! At this point she’s my cats’ godmother, and there’s very few people in my life I trust to take as good care of them as she does. I can’t recommend her enough :)”


Xiran L.
“I’ve seen how lovingly Xiran cares for her own Yorkie and cat — she’s patient, gentle, and very responsible. Any pet would be lucky to be in her care!”


Selim A.
“I cannot recommend Selim highly enough! His ability to connect with animals is truly remarkable. I've entrusted my furry companion to his care on multiple occasions, and each time has been an absolute delight for my pet—and for me! What sets Selim apart is his unique blend of compassion and discipline when working with dogs. Not only does he have an innate understanding of a dog's needs and emotions, but he also possess a remarkable knack for teaching tricks and instilling discipline in a gentle yet effective manner. During their time with my dog, I witnessed a beautiful bond forming between them. It was evident that Selim genuinely cared for my pet's well-being, ensuring not only physical comfort but also emotional security. The patience and kindness they exhibited were truly heartwarming. Moreover, Selim has an impressive skill set when it comes to training. He was able to teach my dog new tricks while maintaining a structured environment, which helped my pet understand boundaries and commands without any stress or fear. Selim's communication style with both pets and owners is excellent—always providing updates on my dog's progress, behavior, and any concerns they may have noticed. This level of transparency and attentiveness truly put my mind at ease while I was away. In summary, Selim is a gem in the world of pet care. If you're looking for someone who not only connects with animals on a deep level but also excels in teaching and nurturing them in a compassionate way, Selim is the perfect choice!”
