“Luis (and his wife Laura) were very welcoming to our small dog. He sent photo updates twice a day which was very reassuring. It’s great to have such a reliable and caring boarder in the same town!”

“Hollie and her husband cared for Rainey like their own. They kept to her routine, gave her medicines when needed, and made sure Rainey got plenty of exercise and playtime. They sent many updates every day. I was very comfortable leaving Rainey with them for the first time (for two weeks), she warmed up to them very quickly. Thank you both!”


About: I have over 10 years of pet care experience, taking care of my family’s two dogs and cat, fostering dogs for two years at a local animal shelter, and sitting/ walking neighborhood pets. I currently am free all day, 7 days a week until I begin work as a preschool summer camp counselor in the end of June. After that, I still have a lot of availability, M-F anytime after 3pm and anytime on weekends. I have a fenced yard and crates available if needed. I live in a safe neighborhood with a park nearby which is perfect for walks, and have an animal-loving family. I am an avid rule follower, responsive communicator and will prioritize ensuring the safety of each pet.
“Tiara was amazing. Our usual sitter was away and Yanni and I had to adjust to a new experience. Yanni has significant separation anxiety and consistency is important for him. Since he's never been exposed to cats while we were together, Tiara was open and flexible and open to a trial for a day before my week long travel. She was significantly attentive and informative the entire time. I received updates and picture confirmation unprompted. I knew we were in great hands! Would books again hands down!”

“Klainer was amazing with my tiny dog Moqui! She was so responsive, sent me so many updates and photos and was so kind. I have a very anxious dog and Klainer made sure to make her feel at home. Thank you so much!”

“I am so glad I found Stacia! She communicated with me very well and was flexible with my last minute changes. I left my pup with her for a while day and she made sure to send me lots of pictures, video call and also gave me updates through out the day. She made sure my pup got lots of excercise and outdoor time. I could see that she genuinely loved dogs and cared about my dog's well being. This was my pup's first experience at a sitter and we had a wonderful experience. I would be very comfortable leaving my pup again in her care.”


“My shihtzu cookie stayed with Manuel for 7 days and we were kept up to date on how she was doing via text. Any concerns we had about her were immediately addressed. When we picked her up she was her normal happy self. My kids trust Manuel and my husband and I were pleased. We will definitely use him again”

“Paul was great looking after Nellie over thanksgiving! Sent a bunch of photos throughout the week of her with his family and gave updates throughout her stay. Nellie can be a bit shy initially and Paul gave her the time and patience to come out of her shell and fell more comfortable with his family. Will definetly use Paul again!”

“I had a great experience with John. I booked on short notice and he was very flexible with scheduling, which I really appreciated. He took excellent care of Carl while I was away and gave me real peace of mind the entire time. Communication was solid, and I received updates throughout Carl’s stay — it was clear he was being very well looked after. When I picked him up, he was calm, healthy, and completely himself, which tells you everything you need to know about the level of care he provides. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with John again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter.”

“My dog was very happy and got lots of attention and cuddles during her stay. She clearly enjoyed being with Amrit and his daughter. I got updates and photos throughout the weekend. Highly recommend.”

“Susan was great with our senior dog! We loved getting the daily updates and could tell our pup received excellent care and his routine was very similar to the one he keeps at our home. Would recommend Susan in a heartbeat!”

“Ninoska was our very first experience using Rover, and she absolutely set the bar high! From the moment we met her during the meet-and-greet, we felt at ease she was warm, informative, and so welcoming. We were nervous first-time puppy parents leaving our 15-week-old Lola for the first time, but Ninoska made the whole process smooth and stress-free. While we were away for 4 days, she sent us regular updates with adorable photos and videos of Lola playing and looking so happy. Lola clearly felt at home she even ate more than usual (I think she gained a healthy little pound!), and her tummy was doing great. Ninoska even shared some recipes and snack tips that worked wonders for Lola. Truly a 10/10 experience. Ninoska is not just a sitter she’s a puppy/dog whisperer, and we’re so lucky we found her. We love her and so does Lola!”

“Couldn’t be happier with the care Bean received while we were away! Bean is a senior dog who requires daily medications and a little extra attention, and Lisa took care of her with so much compassion and professionalism. She kept me updated every day, which gave me total peace of mind while we were on vacation. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog sitter!”
“Thank you so much Jessica for taking care of my two dogs Lucky and Pixie I know they have different personalities and can be a handful but they were looked after so well, with great updates and photos. Thank you again looking forward to booking with you again in the near future.”


“We booked for the first time with Amy over Memorial Day Weekend and are so appreciative of the love and care she gave our dog, Stanley! Amy sent daily updates and photos which we were so grateful for, and we love that she and her family treated Stanley like he was their own. We will absolutely be rebooking Amy again :)”


“Amazing stay with Andria! Our dog was well looked after. We received regular updates and pictures of him. Can’t wait to go on our next vacation and know we have someone loving he can stay with.”

“This was my 2nd time using Javier’s service and he is just awesome with my dog Button! He’s so loving and attentive with my dog! It’s good to know that there are people that are loving and caring for animals ❤️❤️❤️”

“Veronica was fantastic! As an outdoor cat, finding someone who could care for Juno, with safety as the first priority, but also allow her to retain her sense of freedom and independence was always going to be a tough ask. We found that with Veronica - would highly recommend! Very kind, sent us lots of photos and even got Juno some special treats and toys.”

Short Hills pet parents share their Rover experiences
I had to find a reliable sitter for my diabetic fur baby who had only previously been taken care of family members and were uncomfortable giving injections to him. So when I had the opportunity to go out of the country for a vacation, I researched sitters and came across Vanessa (and Kayla) - We had a meet and greet a couple of weeks before to see how my pup would be around them and he seemed comfortable with them and they as well. However, no sooner after I dropped him off to head off on my vacation, he started to have some problems. Vanessa and Kayla went above and beyond to make him comfortable as he was stressed and that probably made his diabetes act up. With frequent contact we all managed to adjust his dose of insulin which solved the issue and by report had no further issues after the first 2 days. Vanessa and Kayla gave me daily "pup-dates" with pictures while I was away which greatly put my mind at ease so I could really enjoy my vacation. I highly recommend Vanessa (and Kayla) to care for your fur babies especially if you need to have someone comfortable giving injections and pills. Will definitely use them again

Eunice took excellent care of Cappy during the three days we were away! She kept me updated with texts and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. I could tell she read my notes about Cappy’s care. Cappy also had a wonderful time with Eunice’s family and her dog, Pincky! I will definitely reach out to her again when I need someone to take care of Cappy in the future!

Matthew took such good care of Noel and treated her like his own pet. You can tell he truly loves and cares for animals. He was so gentle and patient with her, especially with her anxiety. I noticed Noel had a better transition with Matthew than she had with any other sitter I have used in the past which says a lot about his character and the care he gives animals. 100% would use him again in the future. Thank you again!

Sharon took great care of my dog over a long weekend! She was very communicative both in booking, scheduling and confirming. She sent pictures every day which I really appreciated! It gave me peace of mind to know everything was ok. It was clear that my dog was well looked after at her house! I will definitely use her again.

Anna is such an amazing doggy host. Theo was so adorable and friendly. Her backyard is absolutely perfect. It's huge, wide open, totally fenced in, so much flat grass and even a patio for Reggie to cool off on. Reggie didn't want to leave when we picked him up and when we got home Reggie fell asleep so quick. It was such a relief to find such an amazing host who treated my dog like her own. 5 ⭐️'s all around!!!
