“Very pleasant and reliable. Can’t say enough about Yana. When it’s time for Zeus’s walk he sit by the dog waiting eagerly. She is great with my Zeus. Yana is great. I would highly recommend her”

“Marc was so patient with Cloud! Cloud wanted to protect our house that day, but he eventually decided that Marc was not a threat & allowed him to take him for a walk! The true sign of Cloud trusting Marc was that he did zoomies when they were back from their walk. Thank you, Marc!”


About: I’ve always gown up with dogs and I have plenty of experience. I’m always happy to help when needed. I can also provided boarding as needed. I’m currently working full time but I can return home during the day for works and I am free all weekends. Scheduling may vary as needed. I can follow set schedules and ask questions when needed. I do prefer for houses to have cameras so all parties involved are aware of all activity that goes on in the home.
About: I've always loved animals and used to volunteer at an animal shelter when I was younger. I also got my first dog 10 years ago--she is my best friend and I love her more than anything :) I'm responsible for grooming, feeding, and walking her, plus regular check ups to make sure she's healthy. My favorite thing to do though is playing with her and cuddling! In regard to my schedule, I am currently working full time from 9-5pm, Monday through Friday. Any other times outside of that window I am available! I am also going on vacation from August 8 to August 15. Since I am a pet owner myself, I am able to take care of your pet(s) in any way needed. I am able to understand different personalities and needs among various animals and adjust accordingly!
About: I love animals so much I wanted to become a vet when I was a child. I instead chose to work with humans and equally love my career as a teacher. I am off all summer, so I am looking to not only earn a little extra money, but also keep your furbaby company while you are away. I am currently 7 months pregnant, so we are being strict on size and age of who we will sit. We limit the size we watch to 25 pounds and we won't watch any new clients younger than 5. Zach (my husband) and I have 3 of our own small dogs and boarding with us would be a great option! We have a fenced in yard and even a lure course to keep your baby entertained in the backyard. Our home has a doggy door, so they have full range of outside when they need to do their business, making potty training even easier! I am cat and dog CPR/first aid certified through American Red Cross. I am currently working part-time teaching summer school and coaching the summer robotics team. My husband works full time from home, so your pup will get a lot of attention. We have a fenced in yard to keep your fur baby safe during their stay. This also allows plenty of exercise. We have 3 of our own small pups, one who loves playing and running around, one who loves sleeping, and one who loves fetch to keep yours company, no matter their personality.
About: I was lucky to grow up always having a pet - parakeets, bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters, hermit crabs, & cats - I love all feathered and furry friends! On top of having pets of my own, I have experience pet sitting for friends - I love spending time giving pets attention and care! I work remotely 4 days a week, so I have flexibility in my weekly routine! I am an active person who enjoys going on long walks for fun already, so having a dog to join me would make my daily walks even better! I am a proud cat mom to Lady Bug, a 2 year old tuxedo little girl. I previously lived with an adorable pitbull mix and would help my roommate walk and feed him when she was away on business or working from her office in South Bay. I know the importance of making sure all plants are pet-safe.
“Shirali was wonderful and my boys instantly got along with her. Very communicative, and I could tell she truly enjoyed my pups. I will definitely be using her in the future if she is available!”


About: I have been raised around dogs my entire life and have over 11 years of hands-on dog care experience. To me, dogs aren’t just animals but can be family, loyal friends…the closest companions in our lives. I treat every guest pup with the exact same love, respect, and careful attention I give my own I work a flexible 9-5 job where there can be a day or two for me to work remotely. I’m open to boarding those days and the weekends too! I have two dogs in my loft currently. One senior 14-year old morkie and a 3-year old English pointer. Both are trained and don’t bother others. If crates are needed, I have one.

About: Owner of a 13yr Golden Retriever, 5yr Border Collie, and 2 guinea pigs. Knowledgeable in both daily care and proper overall health for all ages!

I will then be available Monday -Wednesday some time in July. At your home I will take your pet(s) on walks, provide enrichment, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their routine. As an aspiring veterinarian with veterinary technician experience, I understand the importance of patience, trust, monitoring behavior, while giving pets love and, attentive care.
About: I’m a caring, patient, and dependable pet lover who treats every pet like family. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m able to work around feeding times, walks, playtime, and other routines your pet is used to. I pay close attention to pets during walks and playtime, ensure they have fresh water, and keep their environment clean and secure. I’m happy to follow any special instructions regarding medications, dietary needs, or behavioral preferences.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for both my own dog and others’ pets. I have a Yorkie-Bichon mix named Frankie, and taking care of her has taught me how important patience, routine, and making sure every pet feels safe and loved. I genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, or simply keeping them company, I enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality. I love dogs, cats (even though I’m allergic! 🥲), rabbits (especially my friend’s whose name is Cosito), and really all animals. You can trust that I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own and make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I recently graduated with my bachelor’s degree and am currently doing more schooling by completing nursing prerequisites. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because it allows me to do something I genuinely love while continuing my education. My classes are Tuesday and Fridays I finish at 2:00pm so I’m available in the late afternoons, evenings. AFTER 2:00pm I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for by sticking to their routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I’ll follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I do understand every pet is different, so I’ll be patient and make sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. I will always send pictures as well!
About: I have watched and have card for dogs all ages, from puppies to senior dogs. I respect the dogs boundaries taking notice of physical signs (tail wagging, whites of their eyes showing, tail between their legs, etc.) and only approach when they look and feel comfortable. I always remember that even if a dog has known me for a while and is comfortable with me, that they are still an animal and their space needs to be respected. I always ensure that they feel loved, cared for and respected when I am watching them! They gets lots of pets, hugs, and (if allowed by both owner and pet) kisses! I currently work full-time and am working remotely Mondays and Fridays. During the week, I incorporate pet care in my daily and weekly routine either before my work day, during my lunch break and even after my work day ends. During weekends, I have more availability and flexibility! At my home, I have a fenced in backyard. When I am at a clients house, I always ensure that all gates/doors/exit points/etc. are securely closed and locked. If I am taking the pet for a walk, I always put their harness/collars/leash on in the house and triple check it is on correctly and securely.

About: Hi! My name is Rosie and I have been caring for pets for friends, neighbors, and families for many years. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, overnight stays, and giving pets the attention and care they deserve while their owners are away. Outside of pet sitting, I have years of babysitting experience, a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science from Seton Hall University, and I am currently in nursing school. My background has taught me responsibility, patience, and attention to detail. I’m dependable, caring, and will treat your pets like they are my own.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I grew up in a home with Rottweilers, which taught me early on the importance of proper care, structure, and lots of love. Over the years, I’ve lived with rescue dogs and have also fostered dogs in the past, gaining experience helping dogs adjust to new environments and routines. Currently, I live in a home with a rescue St. Bernard and a Bernese Mountain Dog. While they aren’t my own dogs, I spend a large amount of my time caring for them, giving them plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. I’m very comfortable with large breeds as well as dogs who may need extra patience and understanding. I’ve worked with many breeds and mixes, including Rottweilers, Bernese Mountain Dogs, French Bulldogs, St. Bernard, Labs, Doodle mixes, Pomeranians, Boxers, and a Rhodesian Ridgeback. I understand that every dog is unique, and I always aim to provide care that meets each dog’s individual needs while making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. I work part time as a yoga teacher and 3 days a week in a hospital setting. This allows me to have a flexible schedule on Mondays, Wednesdays, and weekend (when I am not at the hospital) for daytime visits to take your pets out on walks, stop in for potty breaks or afternoon lunch/snacks. I currently do not have any pets of my own which makes overnight stays to care for your pets easy. I will come to your home for to care for your pet and offer them the services you wish to have for them. Whether that be overnight stays, daytime dog walks, offering meals, or even just some outdoor playtime in your backyard.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 16 years, including having 4 cats of my own, 2 dogs, and few fosters! I’m comfortable administering medications and following detailed care routines. I work in human healthcare, so I’m attentive, dependable, and take health and safety seriously. I currently have two very spoiled cats, Max and Toby, and I truly treat every pet like they’re my own. I love getting to know each animal’s personality and making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I currently work Wednesday through Saturday, so my availability is more limited on those days. I’m most available on Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays. That said, I’m sometimes able to accommodate visits on workdays depending on the time, so it never hurts to ask! I do best with about a week’s notice for new requests, but I’m always happy to try to help with last-minute needs when I can, even if availability isn’t guaranteed. I take safety and trust very seriously when caring for pets in their own home. I always follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any special routines your pet is used to. I make sure doors and gates are secure, leashes are used properly, and your pet is supervised and comfortable at all times. Because I work in healthcare, I’m used to being detail-oriented, respectful of others’ homes, and attentive to changes in behavior or health. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats and have taken care of and trained them since I was young. From German Shepard’s to small cats and dogs, I’ve lived with them all. I am currently getting my masters degree online so I have ample time to be with your babies wherever whenever! All days and times can be made available for your schedule or routine. I have the ability to crate dogs as well as keep them by my side when walking or caring for them.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Raritan
Marc was was great with my dad's dog Olive. Olive can be a challenge, she's about a year and a half, half Australian Cattle Dog, half German Shepard, 50 lbs, and extremely energetic. He was great with her and you could tell Olive really liked him too. Highly recommend to anyone needing a walker.

Ronit was kind and patience with Jaden. Jaden is very friendly and wants to be always petted. He became fond of Ronit right the moment he saw her. After the walk, they both exchange their love for each other and even after the walking assignments, when we say Ronit, he will get ready and wait at the door. Thank you Ronit for taking care of Jaden.
Robert was great with Lacy! He was communicative, reliable, and incredibly attentive throughout both visits. He sent updates and photos, took great care of her, and even went above and beyond when she had an upset stomach and an accident in her crate. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing she was in good hands while we were away. Lacy clearly enjoyed her time with him, and we’d happily book Robert again!

Xinzhi was amazing with my puppy! She was very responsive to any messages and sent lots of pictures and updates to let me know how he was doing. She even worked on some commands with him to help train him since he is still young. I highly recommend booking Xinzhi for your dog!
