“We recently entrusted our dog Maeve to Jill, and we couldn't be more pleased with the care she received. Jill not only kept our home tidy but also formed a special bond with Maeve, ensuring she was happy and well-cared for. We highly recommend Jill for her exceptional service and genuine love for dogs!”


“Gabriella was extremely patient and understanding with my senior pup. He has many challenges - he can’t hear, his eye sight is poor and he was very anxious when I left. Gabriella gently and slowly gained his trust and he was very happy when we arrived home. She is wonderful and left the house clean and in order.”

“Boryana is an extremely professional and reliable pet sitter. She has excellent communication skills, is very attentive to details, and did an outstanding job taking care of my cats. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for high-quality pet sitting services!”

“Vee was absolutely wonderful! She cared for my dog with love and dedication and left my home in pristine condition. She communicated regularly and was very responsible. Most important, she was patient and determined to get my dog to eat and take her meds (she is older and has health issues) and kept me informed. I could not ask for better care! My dog is happy and healthy!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for the past couple years. I have taken care of both family and friends dogs as well as neighbors from word of mouth. I am currently working remotely part time from home so I am generally pretty free to dog sit or pop in to feed any pets during the day. I can't take care of any pets in my home, but can go to your home and either dog sit from there or walk your dog.
“Simply put, Joey was outstanding, both with his care of Pablo as well as management of our home while staying here. As a person, he’s a young man of high integrity who is kind, thoughtful, and detail oriented! He loves dogs; kept me posted with text and pics; and maintains a positive and loving temperament. He exceeded my expectations and would give him my highest recommendation!”

About: I have some experience with dogs. I don’t mind cleaning up after any dog. I also enjoy going for walks and playing fetch with dogs. I am currently a college student at Rider University. I have almost full availability to care for your precious fur baby. I’m available both before and after class as well as many nights. I can easily care for your fur baby with any directions left. I will be able to spend time and play with them while also making sure they are comfortable.

“We are new to the country and Rover app . Therefore had fair share of doubts with regard to leaving our pet Madder . Our experience with Emma has rested all our doubts. Her skills, smiling and affable demeanor instantly lifted our spirits and our confidence bounced right back. Emma updated us with pics and videos of our pet and her reassuring words made our day out, stress free and delightful. We look forward to her services again. Thank you Emma and team Rover .”

“Ashley took excellent care of my greyhound and cat! My dog is older and has some special care requirements (supplements, diapers, anxiety) and Ashley had no issues managing it.”

“Giana was kind and very intentional in making sure our pups were safe and taken care of. She was constantly in touch with us. We did a pre meet and that was helpful as I am new to Rover. Our house was left spotless. I will definitely use Giana again.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was in middle school. My family never had pets growing up but I love them so much and was always trusted to pet sit and dog walk all my friends and family’s pets. I also volunteered at my local animal shelter growing up which taught me a lot about walking and training dogs. I am at home for the summer and do not have a full time job yet so I will have plenty of time to walk and care for your pets! I am available for day care and house sitting any day of the week just reach out :) I care for dogs with a lot of love and confidence, whatever you need me to do I will do to keep your dog safe and happy.
“Maia is so great with our boy Harvey. He is a big softie and she is so sweet with him. He got so excited when she arrived after meeting her for the first time for a meet and greet. Great communication, regular updates and photos. We had a delay with our flights and she was happy to go back and make sure he was ok. I cannot recommend Maia more. I will definitely rebook when I need someone to stay again.”

“I can always trust Rita. I’ve had issues in the past with sitters ensuring that they wouldn’t leave my dog alone for more than 3 hours but have ended up leaving him for 6. Rita, on the other hand, sticks to her word and goes to extra lengths to ensure my dog is comfortable at home. She’s my go to sitter for house sitting, dog sitting, and dog walking. Highly recommend her to folks who need special care for their fur babies.”

Plainsboro pet parents share their Rover experiences
Emma recently watched my two basset hounds in my home for 3 days & 3 nights. She couldn’t have done a better job. She sent regular updates and photos via text and reassured me consistently that they were content, safe and cuddled! I look forward to booking Emma again 😊 I highly recommend her if you are looking for drop ins and also overnight sitting.

Alisha is a delight! When she came to meet my cat and dog they immediately liked her and her warm energy. I felt instantly comfortable allowing Alisha into our home for her stay. She sent pictures everyday and small check-in notes, and I could tell she really cares about our pets and their wellbeing. I felt confident that our pets were in good hands, as Alisha is responsive, punctual, responsible, and very kind. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Joey took amazing care of my kitten while I was away. I came home to a happy, relaxed, and healthy cat. I am SO grateful to know my little guy was in caring hands. Joey took care of all of his needs and went above and beyond by giving him lots of attention, care, and cozy vibes. They were great with communicating and sending pics-you can trust them with any of your pet needs. THANK YOU, JOEY!!
