1. Jonathan R.
“We were in a pinch and needed to figure out what to do with our dog when an out of town wake and a funeral came up suddenly. We found Jonathan on the Rover map in the area we were staying. He responded promptly and we set up the times we needed daycare. He was flexible as our drop-off and pickup times had to be adjusted. Took care of our dog and - very telling, I think - she seemed fine with going back for the second day. She also seemed fine, looked pretty relaxed when we picked her up,”
2. Desi & Marilyn A.
“Desi and Marylin are wonderful. They truly are dog people, and they care for my Rocky as if he was theirs. Desi was nice enough to give Rocky time to acclimate to his pack. Furthermore, he updated me couple of times a day on Rocky's status. I will definitely come back and have them take care of Rocky.”

“I was passing thru the area and wanted to make a brief stop to see the lilacs at the NJ Botanical Gardens. Since I read that dogs were not allowed, I needed to find a trustworthy sitter nearby. Wenxin to the rescue! She was so sweet and attentive, and my shy Havanese quickly warmed up to her. Should I ever be in the area again, I will definitely bring Cleo back!”

Thank you Maureen!”

“Raven has been an exceptional dog walker and pet sitter for our dogs, Hopie and Charlie. From the very beginning, Raven impressed us with her professionalism, reliability, and genuine love for animals. Raven's punctuality and consistency in walking Hopie and Charlie provided us with great peace of mind. She always arrived on time and ensured that our dogs received the exercise and outdoor time they needed. Her warm and friendly demeanor made Hopie and Charlie feel comfortable and excited to see her. Beyond her dog-walking duties, Raven proved to be an excellent pet sitter. When we needed to be away, she took care of Hopie and Charlie as if they were her own. She kept us updated with regular check ins, photos and messages. Raven always followed our instructions regarding feeding, medication and routines.
