About: Over two decades of working in pet sitting mainly through small local set ups. Through Rover, I am infusing my creative side to make unique story driven portraits for animal loving families! Can do early morning or late night walks, then can help a puppy with frequent potty breaks. I have an outdoor space of my own, and a backyard with a doggy potty station. My apartment is on the 3rd floor, with 2 cats. My home multiple security features in the common area, and in the home. Personally willing to make a detailed list of events from their stay, and back it up with photos and videos.
“We had a great experience leaving our dogs with Wanda. When we left them I heard them crying and was a bit concerned about them settling in. When we got home Wanda had texted and let us know they were setting in and sent us photos showing them relaxing. During the week we received multiple photos and updates on how it was going, which put us at ease. When we picked up the dogs they were in excellent health and very happy. We would highly recommend Wanda dog sitting services. Thank you Wanda, for taking such good care of our dogs.”
“We boarded our dog with Renee and received daily updates and photos of all the fun he was having. She gave us peace of mind throughout his stay. He came home happy and pleasantly tired. We felt comfortable leaving him with Renee and would gladly book with her again!”
“Joy was so great watching my dog this past weekend! She kept me updated with photos all weekend long - I would definitely recommend her to others. Thank you for the help!”
“Cynthia took great care of my dog at her place. She followed instructions, kept me updated, and even made my dog rice to encourage her to eat. Her dog was very friendly with my nervous greyhound. They even played together in Cynthia’s back patio.”
About: 🐶 NO RESIDENT ANIMALS: Your pup gets to be the dog of the house during their stay. 🐾 ONE FAMILY AT A TIME: No unfamiliar boarding dogs competing for attention. 💻 WORK-FROM-HOME CARE: Your dog has plenty of company and attention throughout the day. 🌳 FULLY FENCED YARD: Easy, frequent outdoor time in addition to walks. 🏡 FREE ROAMING: Your dog lives alongside us, not kenneled or isolated. ❤️ FAMILY ENVIRONMENT: Walks, playtime, couch cuddles, and everyday family life. 🐕 THEIR ROUTINE, OUR PRIORITY: We follow their normal feeding, walking, sleeping, and activity schedule as closely as possible. 📸 PLENTY OF UPDATES: Photos and videos so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and comfortable. ✨ PERSONALIZED CARE: Their stay is tailored to their personality, energy level, and preferences. We're a dog-loving family of four with years of experience owning and caring for dogs. Both my husband and I grew up with family dogs, and we had our own beloved dog, Buddha, for many years before he passed away in 2021. He is one of the dogs you see pictured in our uploaded photos (the others are rover dogs we’ve hosted). We still miss having a dog around and would love the opportunity to welcome your pup into our home and give them all the love and attention we'd give our own. ❤️🐾 We currently have no pets and only accept one dog at a time, which means your dog gets to be the center of attention while they're here! Our two school-aged kids absolutely love dogs and are excited to be involved with age-appropriate things like supervised play, filling water bowls, and joining us for walks. Mom and Dad are always the primary caregivers and responsible for all aspects of your dog's care and safety. Having been dog owners ourselves, we understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and little quirks. We're happy to follow your dog's normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, favorite toys, sleeping arrangements, and whatever helps them feel comfortable and at home. We also know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else's care. You can expect plenty of photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pup is safe, happy, and getting lots of affection. Because we have children, we only accept dogs who are friendly and comfortable around kids, reliably house-trained, and have no history of aggression. Whenever possible, we'd also love to do a quick meet-and-greet or video intro before your dog's first stay to make sure we're a great fit for one another. We want you to enjoy your time away without worrying, and for your dog to feel like they're part of our family while they're here. ❤️🐶 I work from home every day, so having a pup here fits naturally into our daily routine and means they'll have plenty of company, attention, and love throughout the day. I can easily accommodate potty breaks, playtime, snuggles, and walks around my work schedule, and they'll have someone nearby for most of the day. When the kids get home from school/camp, there are two more very enthusiastic dog lovers ready to give them even more attention! We're happy to follow your dog's normal feeding, walking, potty, and sleep schedule as closely as possible so their stay feels comfortable and familiar. We currently have no pets of our own and only accept one dog at a time, so your pup gets lots of individual attention and won't need to adjust to unfamiliar resident animals. We know how reassuring it is to actually see that your dog is happy and doing well while you’re away. During each stay, we’ll send you plenty of photos and videos so you can see how your dog is settling in and enjoying their time with us. We’ll also keep you updated on the important parts of their day, including meals, walks, potty breaks, playtime and medications when applicable. We want you to be able to relax and enjoy your time away knowing your dog is happy, comfortable, and receiving the same loving care you’d want for them at home.
“Alexandra was amazing with Burt. She sent updates and pictures throughout the day and am so grateful when my flight got cancelled she was able to watch him an extra night/day. Burt looked like he was really living the life! Thank you!”
“Ms.Lee was absolutely great. She sent me pictures and videos throughout Bella’s stay with her which was amazing for me since it was my first time ever leaving my precious baby. And I was very nervous. Ms. Lee made me feel at ease while I was away. I would definitely recommend Ms.Lee service to other pet moms and dads. On top of that I will use”
“Robert was a great sitter for our dog, Maggie! He was kept us updated the whole time and even asked if he could use ear cleaner for Maggie when she had an itchy ear! The pictures he sent were amazing, we’ll probably have one framed! Maggie came home happy, healthy and tired ☺️”
“100/10 stars! We were away for two weeks and Jasmine took such good care of our dog. Her dog sprinkles was the perfect playmate, Jasmine sent tons of pictures and updates, and he overall looked so happy the whole time. We will definitely be back!!!”
About: I grew up on a farm so I’ve been caring for animals, big and small, my entire life. I currently have two small (nearly identical) dogs, Frannie and Banana. I work from home so it’s easy for me to give them plenty of walks, pets and love. I have a small backyard and live steps from Norris Square park. I’m the go-to auntie to all of my friends pets :) I am a freelancer who works from home. I have two small dogs who I walk 2-3 times a day plus outside time in our backyard. My schedule is flexible and I live steps from Norris Square park. I have a fenced in backyard with a potty area. Two small dogs who are friendly. I typically have them meet new dogs outside of the home before having them come in to avoid any territorial behavior. My dogs eat 3 small meals a day and we keep treats to a minimum due to Frannie’s sensitive stomach. There are plenty of toys and the dogs are never out of sight.
“Jenny and her family took such great care of my fur baby. I loved the daily pictures and videos to update me on my pup. She was so happy and her vibrant self. I was afraid she would be sad since this was the first time we spent more than a couple of days apart, but Jenny and her family took such great care of her that she was able to get comfortable almost instantly. I would definitely book with them again.”
“Iger is a caring and transparent dog sitter. He was attentive and offered great peace of mind while I was away from my dog. He provided frequent updates and quick responses. My dog came back clean and content. Would book Iger again without hesitation.”
“Eric did a wonderful job watching our senior dog! We received updates on our dog's stay and we look forward to booking with Eric again. Highly recommend!”

Leanne and Mark are absolutely marvelous. I met with Leanne before leaving my Portuguese Water Dog named Stella and my pup took to her immediately. She stayed with Leanne and Mark for two weeks and all the while I was sent photographs and updates and told how she was doing. Since I was travelling on business, it was a huge weight lifted from me knowing that Stella was in such good hands. She came back to me happy and healthy and I simply couldn't ask for more.
Lou was well cared for while we were away on vacation. We booked short notice and had no issues, I would definitely use them Lauren and John again. Lou is like a child to me. He came home happy and tired after playing with the kids for a week. Thanks for being awesome and making my trip less stressful!! I would definitely book with them again.
Craig took amazing care of our two pups while we travelled for the Christmas holiday. His place was absolutely perfect with the large back yard, and he also took them on many walks throughout the day. They had a great experience. Would absolutely recommend to anyone!
Randi was absolutely amazing! I always get nervous leaving Harper but she made me feel much better about everything. She kept me updated on how he was doing and sent pictures to ease my concerns. She was very attentive about keeping with our regular routines. I would highly recommend booking with her and definitely plan to book with her again in the future!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. 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.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
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.
