About: I’ve had all sorts of animals from small to big since the age of 7. I currently have a German shepherd mix, and he’s been with us since March 8th of 2020, having the time of his life. I’ve had my share with senior cats/dogs, as well as being able to handle oral medication and specific routines. I‘m usually open and available any day of the week. My calendar is up to date at least 3 weeks ahead. Please inquire about further dates. I will treat your pet and your house with utmost respect and privacy, and treat your pet with the love, comfort, and care they deserve and more. They’ll always be safe in my care.
“We had a wonderful experience! From the beginning, he made us feel comfortable leaving our dog in his care. He kept us updated, let us know he was settling in well, and it was so reassuring to hear he was hanging out with the other dogs and doing great. You can tell Enis genuinely care about the dogs he look after. We really appreciated the updates, and our dog came home happy and well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again. Highly recommend!”
“Funda did an amazing job watching my 2 dogs. She sent me videos & pictures, and give updates everyday. Im grateful for her service and would definitely reach out to her again! You won't regret working with her :)”

“Michelle did a great job watching both of our dogs during our Christmas vacation! We didn’t have to worry about them at all! We really appreciated all of the pictures she sent too.”

“Brianna was great with our dog! She watched him for a week and sent daily photos/updates. Our dog doesn’t get along great with other dogs but Brianna was very accommodating to his needs. Will definitely book again with her in the future.”

About: Since I work from home, your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive constant love, attention, and companionship! I’ve loved caring for dogs for as long as I can remember, and growing up with them taught me how to give every pup the best care possible. I treat every pup like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pet. I’m home for most of the day, so your dog will get lots of attention, playtime, and companionship rather than being left alone for long periods of time. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. 🐾 My home is a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel at ease. I always supervise pets closely and make sure they have a safe space to relax, play, and sleep. I follow each pet’s routine and instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and any special needs. I also have my own friendly dog, Evee, who is used to being around other dogs. I always introduce dogs slowly and carefully and make sure they are comfortable with each other. Most importantly, I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own dog. 🐾❤️
“Xunzi took my 2 cats at the drop of a hat! I booked the night before I needed them out of the house for a chemical treatment there after a fire. She did not just take care of them, but also paid attention to their psychological well-being, inviting us to visit them and slowly introduced them to her pets. She played with them and showered them with treats and food, replacing the inadequate one I had brought. A gem!”
“Our Yoshi is a young and social mini schnauzer, and he had a great time making friends under Yuberkis’s care! This was our first time leaving him and we received photos everyday of our happy little guy. Thank you Yuberkis for giving him a safe place to be a little goof!”
“Michelle is literally the best! My Lola was showered will love and had a blast playing with Delilah. Michelle is very responsive and accommodating, will definitely continue to book with her in the future. I would receive daily updates accompanied by pictures and videos which eased my worries. Overall great experience, thank you again Michelle <3”
“Eleanor is awesome!!! I reached out to her for an emergency to keep my 5month old GSD pupp for a day. She was kind enough to keep him and took every good care of my pupp.. I highly recommend her. My pupp loved her place and secured backyard is a blessing in disguise”
“I know my dog has found a home away from home! Maisha was consistently sending me updates and pictures. Made sure my dog was well taken care of and having fun. I was happy to see pictures of him with other poo dogs! I would definitely recommend”
“Beata was wonderful!! I genuinely felt that she really cared for my dog while she was staying with Beata for 2 days. I got so many updates with pictures and videos ant it made me feel at ease. Thanks Beata!!”
“Mickey was great! His entire household was very welcoming and he understood our senior dog’s needs. He was great at keeping us up to date with pictures and texts and made sure Duke was comfortable. Highly recommend!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oakland
Kacy was amazing with my puppy. She’s warm, friendly and attentive. She took care of Remy as if he was hers. They went on walks and she even washed his blanket. He was a little home sick at bedtime and she stayed with him so he wasn’t anxious. She sent pictures and messages while we were away and was flexible with pick up and drop off times. I definitely would recommend Kacy and use her again!
This is our pup's 3rd time staying with Bayan. We are so grateful to have found her and her family! They always take such good care of our pup and always keeps us posted with pictures and videos. Their pup is also very sweet and gentle and we're so happy our pup has a playmate while he's there. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving and trustworthy sitter!
Kayla and Vanessa were wonderful hosts for our dog Cusco! They are super sweet and welcoming, and have lots of experience. They sent us cute photos the entire stay and Cusco looked very happy. Communication was topnotch--thorough and transparent. They really took the time to get to know Cusco's needs/schedule/personality. Peace of mind is priceless when it comes to care for our furry ones, and we definitely had that. 100% would rebook with them. Thank you ladies!!
Deborah was a lifesaver!!! She came to the rescue last minute when our pet sitter canceled due to a family emergency less than 24 hours before our trip on Christmas!! She made drop off simple, we knew our dog would be in great hands when we saw her yard with a double gate and a large patch of grass cleared from the snow!! She kept in constant contact including pictures and videos to reassure us our dog was safe and sound!! We highly recommend for anyone needing a sitter, she’s absolutely amazing for senior dog needs!!!

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Many sitters in NJ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
