“Delmy and her daughter were so kind and just wonderful with my elder pup, Jake. Their home was warm, welcoming and super tidy. They provided daily photos and updates which were much appreciated. I would absolutely recommend booking Delmy and look forward to using her again. :)”
“I'm giving a five star review for Dan. Dan and Denise were so wonderful with our dog Sparky. They sent us pictures and/or videos daily which really put us at ease. Our dog seemed very comfortable in their environment and I really appreciated Dan's dedication and patience. This was the first time we ever left him with a sitter and I would definitely recommend and book their services once again.”
“This was our first time using Rover. I was very reluctant to use a person I did not know, or friends didn't know. However, I am so glad I took the chance with a 5 day/overnight in Sarah's home. It's a relief she only takes one animal at a time since our dog doesn't like other dogs. At the meet and greet, Sarah asked many questions to get a feel for Milo (eating & bathroom habits, walking, sleeping habits etc...) To start, her home is absolutely immaculate. I received a daily update with pictures on how our dog was adjusting & doing overall. Milo was displaying some quirky behaviors which Sarah reported right away & thought was cute/funny. She was very accepting, flexible in many ways, and an absolute delight to talk with. It is apparent she is a dog lover! Upon pick up, Milo was happy and all his belongings were packed & ready to go. We plan on using Sarah again for our next trip, if she's available.”
“Thank you Jennifer for taking such good care of Dolly. She obviously felt safe and content in your home with loving attention by both you and your husband Jim. This was the longest time she has ever been away from us and we felt assured she was in good hands. Looking forward to having you take care of Dolly in the future.”
“Sara was an amazing sitter! From day one, she provided excellent communication and was very responsive to my questions. During the trip, she sent several updates and pictures, so I knew that my pup was well cared for. In some of those pictures, my pup did things that she'd do at our house, so i knew that Sara treated her as a family member.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes since I was a kid. I’ve trained 3 dogs and am currently working on training the puppy I currently own. I am also able to take care of senior animals based on their individual needs. I work and live on campus at Stevens Institute of Technology, and my job is extremely flexible to where I can take care of my animals at any time of the day. So making sure animals are taken care of is not a problem. I live in an apartment so I walk my dogs through the city of Hoboken and am able to take them to any dog parks in the area. I am also able to crate small dogs if necessary.
“Lauri took great care of our dog while we were on vacation. She sent photos, videos, and updates every day. It was a great comfort to my family to know the dog was being cared for. Not only was she cared for, she was loved.”
“Highly recommend using their care! They sent me updated pictures multiple times a day and responded to messages promptly! We will definitely use their care again in the future!”
“My dog stayed with Rutba for 5 nights while I was away on vacation. Rutba was attentive to my dog’s needs and made sure she felt comfortable. It was a positive experience and would recommend! Thank you so much!”
“Natalia is the best! She treats our fur baby like her baby. She has been our sitter for just about 2 years and she is awesome. This weekend, she attended a Halloween party with our yorkie and put her in costume too!! She was so cute. If you are having reservations about booking Natalia, DON’T!! Go ahead and make that reservation.”
“Christine was an amazing host for my Bella, she would send me videos and photos updating while she was there. Would definitely recommend to friends and family. probably the best boarding place I’ve ever used.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters and walkers is my lifelong commitment to providing dogs with patient, loving, and reliable care. As a teenager I work for a dog breeder, walking and taking care of his dogs. I spent 14½ wonderful years raising, training, and caring for my Australian Shepherd. Through the Staten Island Training Club, I learned positive training techniques that helped me build a strong bond with him and taught me how to understand canine behavior. I know that every dog has a unique personality, energy level, and routine. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, mental stimulation, or simply companionship, I tailor my care to their individual needs. My experience also allows me to recognize changes in a dog's behavior and respond calmly and appropriately. In addition to caring for my own dog, I volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I've worked with dogs of different breeds, ages, and temperaments. This has strengthened my ability to make dogs feel comfortable, earn their trust, and provide safe, compassionate care. When your dog is with me, they'll be treated like family—with patience, respect, and plenty of attention. Pet care is a regular part of my weekly routine. I'm available for afternoon and evening dog walks. I also offer boarding for short stays of two to three nights, making it a great option if you're away for a long weekend. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure every pet receives the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Whether it's an energetic walk, playtime, or simply keeping your dog company, I'll care for your pet as if they were my own. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I follow your pet's routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. My goal is to keep your pet safe, comfortable, happy, and stress-free while giving you peace of mind.
About: I have been watching and taking care of friends/family dogs for years and have raised my own since he was a 8 weeks old. I can clip nails, bath give ear/eye treatments if ever needed. I work remotely from home for the most part and would only accept to care if I am home that day. I have a 30 lb Klee Kai mix at home who would accompany your pet on walks/play time and naps. Walks would be about every 2-3 hours for potty breaks. For extra outdoor play time we could go out on the large patio on my floor. Pets are allowed to hang out and nap on couch
“Ginia was absolutely fantastic! She sent videos and pictures so often that we felt we were there with our pup. You can tell she really loves your dog like her own and she even said our Joey was now "part of her pack". Would not think twice to have her watch our little guy again. We felt so comfortable and at ease on our vacation since we knew he was in such good hands!”
About: My family love pets specially my little 9 years old, we are looking to help pet parents whenever they need support with their loved pet. We understand pets are important family members and that is exactly why I take this responsibility seriously, with me you can rest assure your pet will be under good care! As of the moment we count with full availability. I say we because I can take care of your pet or my mother who lives with me. I live in a condo , the building is pet friendly and has a huge park across the street where I can take your pet for their needs and to unwind with a nice walk.
About: I absolutely love dogs! I would have 100 of them if I could, but that’s not realistic, so instead I get to watch other people‘s dogs. My own older dog, Milo is my whole world, and I treat every pet in my care like they’re my own. I know how much your fur baby means to you, so I make sure they get plenty of love, attention and patience. I love this job and would love to watch your pup 🐕💗 Services 🐶 Dog Walks: A stroll around your neighborhood that gives your pup the exercise, fresh air, and mental stimulation they need. Drop-Ins: A visit at your home that can include: Potty break Feeding and fresh water Playtime and exercise Snuggles and companionship Whatever else your pup needs House Sitting / Overnight Boarding: I stay overnight with your pup so they have company and comfort in their own home (or mine), along with attentive daytime care every 0-2 hours depending on your dog’s needs, including: Potty breaks and walks Meals Playtime Cuddles Medication, if needed Doggy Daycare: Time spent with your pup while you’re away, giving them whatever they need: Hydration, food, and treats Cuddles and playtime Walks About Me✨ I’ve cared for family dogs my whole life, and I’m usually the person family and friends call when they need a reliable pet sitter. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and gentle care, and I’m comfortable with all personalities. I’ve also administered medication to my own dog, Milo, so I understand the importance of consistency, routines, and paying close attention to a pet’s needs. With Milo, I handle everything from bathing and daily care to teaching basic tricks and maintaining a structured routine. I truly enjoy building trust with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I give my own. What Makes Me Stand Out 🐕🐕🦺 Time and attention: I have a flexible job, which means I’m available for drop-ins and house sitting with flexible scheduling, frequent potty breaks, companionship, and attentive care throughout the day. Walks that go beyond the block: I make walks fun and mentally stimulating, not just a quick loop. Depending on your dog’s personality and energy level, walks can include: Sniff breaks New routes to explore I am self employed so I have tons of flexibility in my schedule and can absolutely make time for your pup! Pet care is already a huge part of my daily routine so caring for animals comes naturally and I would love to add your own 🐶🐕💗 I have a large fenced backyard with tons of grass space and areas to sniff and run around. I also have my own dog, Milo, who is sociable and can keep your dog company and help them feel more comfortable. Milo loves to play and is well trained.
“Judyana was the perfect dog sitter! She communicated quickly and was patient with my hyper dog. She sent me pictures and updates. Her dog also got along with mine which was awesome because they can play together. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future. I highly recommend her for other dog owners who need someone reliable and responsible.”
“Pamela was great with her updates of our big pup during his stay with her! She sent pictures and updates throughout each day. We think he loved being with her and the other dogs and overall, he was cared for with love. Couldn’t ask for more! We will definitely be using Pamela’s services in the future. ?”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint James
My Veterinarian's office recommended Rover. Immediately found Hayley and she lives less than a half hour from my home. Hayley and I connected and she suggested a Meet & Greet. After chatting with Hayley, with my cat in her carrier, I decided this arrangement would work for us all when I went away. One concern was the pills being administered in the morning. Hayley is experienced giving meds to pets so this was a big relief. My cat is extremely shy. With Hayley's kindness she came out from under the couch in a few hours and settled in as a gentle guest-cat. Hayley sent updates and heartwarming pictures of my cat. I highly recommend Hayley to care for your cat or dog in her home--or have her come to your place to give your pets the love and attention they need while you're away. -- Jan L. St. James
My dogs Bella and Bailey were in amazing hands with Rachel, Henrik and their children. They treated my dogs like they were their own from the moment they entered their home. My dogs are 14 years old and have some special needs and Rachel was up to the task! She even cooked rice for Bailey when he had an upset stomach! I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs to have their dogs taken care of. My dogs got spoiled and would love to visit again in the future! Thanks for everything :)
This is the first time we are using Fanjing but she did great job with Chopper. He is a loving dog yes but need a lot of attention. Her and her husband never left his side. Thank you for that especially. I would highly recommend her to everyone who is looking for sitter :)

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.
