1. Noelle A.

“Amazing sitter! My kitty kitty couldn’t wait for her to arrive every day. Going above and beyond, sitting and spending time with my kitty, making sure he had plenty of pets and love. Changing his food and water daily with multiple photos and videos to keep me in the loop. Noelle did a fantastic job and definitely will be using her again!”


2. Elena B.

“This was my first time using rover and booking Elena. She was extremely professional and communicated throughout the entire process. My cat Hannah definitely loved her and appreciated the care, would highly recommend her.”




3. Michael & Durell D.


“Day 1 leaving our puppy home by herself was such an easy good day because of Durell. 🥰 She’s timely,‘communicative, loving, and very helpful/does anything I suggest or ask of her. Will keep using Durell & Michael again and again for our pup, Scoobie… She loves Durell, as well!”


4. Tuba A.
“Tuba took care of my two golden retriever brothers, Mimi & Momo, like she had raised them on her own. She made sure they got their walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. Mimi & Momo are always so happy to see her; she is a great caretaker and I highly recommend Tuba for any pet—she’s caring, reliable, and just wonderful!”

6. Melissa D.

“Yeah, that’s something he likes to do. Thank you for walking him in short notice.”


7. Oleg Z.

“Oleg was nothing short of incredible. My wife and I were traveling for our wedding and we hadn't used Rover before. Oleg put any nerves we had about leaving our pets alone at ease. He was communicative, caring, and you could tell he really enjoyed playing with the cats. He stayed later than required in all three visits and blew up our phones with pictures and videos. I highly recommend Oleg and would definitely book him again.”


8. Nervana G.

“Nervana was wonderful! My dogs require medication 2x a day and she ensured they received everything they needed. The pictures she sent at each visit put my mind at rest. Thank you!!”


9. Faith A.
“Faith has always loved animals ever since she was a little girl. Animals can sense this and they enjoy being around her. Faith has a very kind and calm personality. She is majoring in nursing at Wagner college because of her desire and interest to help and care for others. In addition, Faith is very mature and responsible. She balances a difficult major while also playing on the women’s soccer team at Wagner. All of these attributes make her an excellent candidate for a pet caregiver.”


10. Tammy C.
About: Since the day i was born i have had a small zoo in my home. Over the years i have had pets such as cats, dogs, birds, fish, reptiles and small animals. I absolutely love caring for my animals and it means the world to me to see them healthy and living their best lives! I currently have a 70+ lb pitbull of my own and spend alot of my free time volunteering at an Animal shelter in NJ. Most of that time is spent walking large (sometimes reactive) dogs, so large breeds and strong pullers are not a problem! I am available for drop ins and walks Monday- Friday (and certain weekends). As long as i do not already have a booking, i am usually available too help my fellow animal lovers with their pet care needs! I never leave animals unattended outside ( including fenced in yards). I also assure that all food and treats being offered are approved by the pet parents which i am working with. I also am very careful about keeping dangerous/toxic household items and plants far out of reach of any animals!


11. Nicholas T.
“Nicholas has had a deep concern for and connection with dogs for as long as I can remember. I have seen him interact with dogs in a variety of circumstances for the past 14 years. The earliest memory I have of him interacting with dogs was when he walked, watched, fed, and played with my cousin’s Boxer dogs when we were kids. He was very patient, caring, passionate, and responsible with those dogs as a young boy. Over the years, he cared for his friends' dogs as well by walking and watching them. Over time, as he became an adult, he became even more patient, caring, passionate, and responsible with dogs as he bought a Pug with his girlfriend and became a dogsitter at PetSmart. At PetSmart, Nick would always introduce himself to each dog individually and ensure each dog’s safety was met when in the company of other dogs. Despite the dogs’ different personalities and needs, Nick would show the same love and responsibility to each of them. Not only was Nick yearning to give the best lives for his own dog and dogs under his care at work, but he would always and is still always making an effort to greet and show admiration and concern for dogs, who are on walks with their owners on the streets. If I had to recommend a dog caregiver to anyone, I would feel confident in recommending Nicholas to meet any dog owner's expectations. I trust him to practice exceptional love and responsibility for dogs of any sex or breed who are in his care.”


12. Beth L.

“Beth did a wonderful job taking care of our cat! We had bad experiences with pet sitters in the past. But this time, we came home and he was happy and healthy instead of anxious and stressed. Beth updated us daily and went above and beyond. We recommend her and plan to use her as a pet sitter again in the future.”


13. Taylor G.

“Thank you for taking great care of my baby even if she made a sh**** first impression lol!”


14. Christina D.
About: I have been a an owner of dogs since a young age. I am additionally a foster dog mom through a local rescue agency. I enjoy taking long walks and spending time with animals. I work locally and I am looking to work in the early mornings or later evenings. I have a flexible schedule, so I can make adjustments as needed. I unfortunately will not provide services within my own home, however my own dogs are walked 3-4 times per day and I have a fenced in yard for them to play!


15. Jordan S.
“Jordan is a detail oriented, compassionate pet sitter that puts the well being of the animals first! She communicates well, follows instructions perfectly, and spends time to make sure the animals she cares for are happy. Jordan has years of experience caring for dogs (both large and small), cats, exotic pets (including but not limited to rabbits and gerbils), and other animals, such as horses. She understands the unique needs for all types of animals. I trust Jordan completely when she cares for my pets! She spends quality time with them for enrichment, is attentive to any special needs they have, and will take plenty of pictures for updates! Overall, she is reliable and a great person to trust with any animal.”
