About: Hi!! I’m a freelance photographer and I’ll take a photo of your pet with Polaroid and give it as a gift:) I have been working at an animal rescue center for a long time, and I have experience in training pets to use a designated bathroom area and in daily command training. Additionally, I enjoy preparing nutritious food for pets and playing with them. I’m currently working from home, and I have enough time to take care of your pets! I’m available most of the time during the whole week! I have dog beds, toys, treats and food in my home, and if you have any special requirements, I’ll try my best to make it work!
“Neide provided daycare for my puppy who is a little nervous wreck. Neide sent videos and picture updates throughout the day! My puppy came back home happy and tired! Wonderful service and a very friendly person! Would recommend 10/10”

About: I grew up with dogs and have always had dogs in my life. I love spending time with them, and look forward to helping take care of your precious pets too. I work from home, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pups every day! I'm available for boarding and doggie daycare more days. I have a large living room with a futon that your dog can be cozy on, and hang out with humans. There is a nice park nearby where we can walk every day. I also have a large gate enclosure if your dog needs a space to be alone.
“Amazing experience! So kind and gentle with my Brooklyn. Constantly in contact and sending photos/videos which I really appreciated! Brooklyn got along so well with the frenchie they had, and was so comfortable right away with them, taking up the whole couch! We’re so happy! Will be back!”

“An amazing couple to take care of your pet! Hsin and Phil were very accommodating since I messed up and chose daycare instead of boarding. They still took care of my pup without any issues! I received daily updates and fun photos to keep me updated during my trip. I will absolutely book with them again and recommend them to any pet owner 😁😁”

About: Since I was young I grew up in a house surrounded by animals so I always learned to love and respect them. I always take care of friends and family's pets when they travel, and i love it! I’m a full time pet sitter who also works as a content creator lol you might be asked if I can create content with your pet. 🐾 I also have my husband’s help time to time 🥰 he is a pet lover just like me and he is more than happy to help! I believe that home is the best and safest place for your pet, so I make myself available to go to your home and take care of your pet. Keeping a healthy and loving environment for the pet to go through this moment in the most friendly and loving way. As for my house is on the second floor but your pet will have a good time walking in the park across the street.
“Michelle is great to work with. My pup returned content and tired, which indicates he had a good day. The updates and photos provided throughout the day were appreciated. Highly recommended!”

About: I have cared for other people's dogs--roommates, friends, neighbors--since childhood, many decades! I've lived with cats, dogs and birds. I said goodbye to my rescue Westie of almost 17 years during 2025, and I’m not ready for another long-term pet commitment yet. I puppy trained her (with trainer) from 4 months and provided senior care for the last few years. I am very patient when meeting new animal souls, allowing them to come to me when they’re ready. I have been taking shelter dogs on Afternoon Adventures and have been successful with helping to train dogs in my care. I am working part time and have a flexible schedule, and now that I'm pet-less, I am available, even on short notice. I have been going on walks/hikes in our beautiful parks (over 2 miles) and would prefer some four-legged company. I am very good at following your instructions, respectful of routines and choices you make, and sensitive to furry companions' needs. I'll send you lots of pics! I will board low-maintenance/energy pets in my home, not puppies or kittens.

“Te is amazing!! Our dog runs inside as soon as we drop him off and we have to carry him into the car in order for him to leave. Te is very communicative throughout the day and sends multiple updates. I know our dog is in great hands and would highly recommend. I swear it’s our dog’s favorite place on earth.”

“Thank you for watching Riley! I'm super glad he opened up to you and can tell he was well taken care of. Looking forward to working with you in the near future!”

About: As a devoted dog enthusiast, I have accumulated over two decades of expertise in pet care and have been a dog owner for 25 years. My two English cocker spaniels hold a special place in my heart, making them my absolute world, alongside my spaniel before my current two that I had for 17 years, who passed away in 2019. Spaniels hold a special place in my heart. As a remote worker with a highly flexible schedule, I am able to be present with the puppies and dogs regardless of whether it is a weekend or a weekday. Residing in a two-story townhouse, I do not have a backyard, but I do have three balconies. Additionally, there is a park located nearby. I also have two English cocker spaniels, who are siblings, named Parker and Riley. They are friendly and calm after the initial few minutes. Parker and Riley are both six years old, and my husband and I ensure their well-being by keeping them well-groomed. We consistently monitor their eyes, perform regular teeth brushing, and ensure that their paws and nails are in optimal condition.
“Natasha was very accommodating with our last minute request. She took care of my 2 labs and the male had health issues the day before (heat stroke) so he needed special care and she took amazing care of both of them. I will book her again for tomorrow! We are visiting NYC.”
About: My Jack Russell of 12 long amazing years unlocked my love for animals. Work from home so readily available. Big dog loving family. Truly miss caring for a pet. I work full time from home. Can do walks at any time of the day. Have my own car. Monday - Friday open for drop ins or walks. Saturday - Sunday usually mornings and evenings My home has an enclosed fence with enough space for animals to play. Park near my house also has gates that can close. Maintaining a clean place and establishing routine for each pet is important.
“Nikki & her family have been amazing! Jaxson gets so excited to be dropped off, he’s at the door as soon as I mention her name. I get updates with pics, videos and check ins. Also, Nikki is super accommodating. My work schedule changes at the last minute and she’s always willing to help. I was nervous because there are a few dogs there but don’t be, I realized Jaxson had friends to play with and could work on socialization. Can’t recommend her enough.”

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: Desde niña tengo mascotas las cuales las cuido con mucho amor y dedicación. Igual mi familia, amigos y vecinos confian en mi para cuidar de sus mascotas. Tengo un trabajo en la mañana por lo cual en la tarde me quedaría bien cuidar mascotas, sacarlas a pasear, jugar con ellas ya que me gusta caminar y estar activa la mayoría del tiempo. Doy mi atención a las mascotas ya que son parte fundamental de las familias. Me gusta mucho verlas tranquilas y felices. Las cuido como si fueran unos bebes
“Jeanette was a great sitter for Mr Pickles! Great communication throughout while she cared for our pet, and very friendly and easy going. Her golden doodle was also great with our furry baby, she kept us up to date throughout the day with pictures and video, totally recommended :)”

“Lexi was so great to work with! She worked with me on scheduling and was super open to my ever-shifting needs. Also - my dog loved her! He's slow to warm up and she was super patient and let him get comfortable. By day two, they were besties. She also did a great job of keeping him engaged and active throughout the day. He came home tired :)”

North Ironbound dog parents share their Rover experiences
Anthony was the best! Definitely seeking him again for Loha :) he was very responsive, accommodating and caring. We really needed somebody to watch Loha for a soccer game nearby and despite sudden request, he was extremely helpful! He also sent multiple photos throughout the daycare ensuring Loha’s well-being ! I truly recommend him!

I am glad I found you Te! From the meet and greet to the first daycare session, Te was patient, kind, gentle and communicative. I was worried about Mhazi being away from home but he was in great hands. Te, thank you for being you and providing this service.
