“Anne was extremely helpful with our cats. She went above and beyond! She sent us daily pictures and long updates, which we appreciated so much. She is very prompt at responding too. I truly appreciate all her help and will definitely reach out to her again whenever I need pet sitting service. I highly highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. She is the best sitter we have ever had!”

“Second time booking with Kimberly. Absolutely wonderful! My cat was so well cared for, and I got daily updates with lovely visit details. She also took good care of my plants and kept my home clean. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving pet sitter!”

“This was our 3rd (or 4th?) time booking Jennifer and as always, she did a wonderful job looking after our kitties. They clearly love her and enjoy having playtime with her. Jennifer always sends cute photos and videos from the visits. We also greatly appreciate coming home to a clean house in which she emptied the litter genie canister and washed the cat dishes. I can’t recommend her enough for cat sitting!”

“Heather did an incredible job taking care of our cats. She was responsible and communicative. Our travel coincided with the recent blizzard; she adjusted her plans to visit before the storm hit and offered to visit again if we could not make it back in time. Needless to say, we were very happy with the care she provided.”

“Nina was extremely caring and friendly with my cat Siwon and a pleasure to communicate with as she was professional and prompt with responses. I felt very reassured knowing that she was our cat sitter while we were on vacation for two weeks. Thanks Nina!”

“Maia was awesome with our kitties - they warmed right up to her. She took very good care, was very responsive and communicative, and took lots of pictures. I’ll be very happy to use Maia again!”

“Keiko is an amazing sitter who truly cares about my cat and dog. She wrote detailed notes after every visit and communicated very well throughout the entire time. I never had to worry about my pets while I was away. Thank you so much!!!”

“Luke was great with my two dogs and they warmed to him quickly, He walked, fed them and played with them during his visits. He also sent us pictures each time he dropped in, really helped to ease our minds that they were being taking care of.”


“I am so grateful I found Kelly on Rover! She was available on Thanksgiving and I was so lucky to book her when I did. She contacted me right away to set up a time to meet me and my pup and I knew immediately she'd be great. She was super communicative, so easy going and just so sweet! We will 100% use Kelly for dog walking in the future!”

“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter. From the very first moment, it was clear that Ella truly understands cats—not just their routines, but their emotions, boundaries, and quiet language. My cats felt safe and genuinely cared for, which says everything. Ella has what I can only describe as soul cat energy: patient, intuitive, and deeply kind. She went above and beyond, not just making sure everything was done, but making sure my cats felt loved. Ella is a true star and a rare find.”

“Sha was a really great pet sitter for Kulfi. It was easy to communicate with her even during the midst of the holidays which are a very busy time, and everything went really smoothly. Thank you so much!”

“Kya really helped me out last min to drop in on Grayson . She was lovely and followed instructions- I did feel like my cat was taken care of - I would definitely use and recommend her .”

“Holly is absolutely the best - she took such good care of my elderly cat who needs a whole cornucopia of meds. Holly followed all my instructions and gave a thorough report. I know my cat is looking forward to seeing Holly again soon!”

About: I have always loved animals. Beginning in middle school, I would always volunteer at shelters because I saw the great need for help with so many dogs that had been abandoned or rescued from neglect. and I myself decided to adopt a few of them and give them the life meant for a prince or princess:) I am always vigilant to their wellbeing, I love playing with them, they give so much unconditional love. I love my dogs with all my heart. I currently work with an attorney as a paralegal in Princeton Junction, NJ. I get plenty of breaks during the day, and that’s when I take care of dogs! 🐕 🐕🐕 I can always work around your schedule and your needs. I can dog sit at night, and/or overnight boarding, Saturday and Sunday all day:) I am also available during the day to walk dogs and check up on them❤️ My parents have a big fenced in yard, which is great for my 2 dogs to play around. There’s also a big dog park not far for more playtime and there’s plenty of playgrounds too to take the doggies for a walk.
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.
About: I've grown up with a dog always in the house, and I've been pet-sitting animals of all kinds since middle school. Dogs, cats, chickens - you name it, I've cared for it. I have experience watching senior dogs, puppies, and dogs with medical conditions. With a two year old dog and six month puppy at my own home, I know the importance of exercise and attention to your pets' well-being. And if there's an accident, no worries. I have plenty of experience cleaning those up too! I am currently a full-time student, but my schedule makes sure to leave most afternoons and evenings free. I prefer early mornings to nights, meaning my schedule is perfect to walk your dog before the heat of the day in spring and summer. Fridays and weekends are the freest in my schedule for pets that need more frequent check-ins. I know that every pet-owner has different rules they follow with their pets and have no issue following those rules. I can crate your dogs at night, or let them sleep on the couch. I'm happy to go for walks or play with your high-energy pup, or just hang out with your couch potato. If you have a young puppy that's still being trained, I'm happy to go through commands with them as well.

About: I have had a combination of cats and dogs growing up. I have my own cat now who’s 8 years old. I previously had taken a job with a dog walking company in my general area for a bit over a year! I did overnight visits, drop ins, and short baby sitting days/nights. I enjoyed the work and the varieties of sweet fur babies I met! I have experience with providing medicine and accompanying little ones overnight where they need a friend to keep them company! I am currently looking for a flexible part-time schedule. My full-time job occupies a lot of my time from 7/8am to 4/5pm depending on the work. I am comfortable stopping by and caring for little ones at night time for potty breaks & dinner time. My cat at home has her own space for her food that is special for her to feel safe. She has developed anxiety as she’s gotten older, so the area is more secluded to prevent her to be stressed my other outside forces. As well, proving her medication when she needs it in the morning. Previous work, I would take long walks with dogs and let them sniff around. Take many photos of them for their parents to see them while away. I am very observant to the surround areas so ensure they don’t become stressed out in case of any other dog/car that can come by. I keep them always on the inside of the sidewalk for safety. I follow all special instructions per family request and make sure dogs & cats are taken care just like their owners were home. No skipped routine gets past me! I want the pet sitter time to be relaxed and fulfilled for everyone involved.
