“Jenny P. Is the absolute best if you need someone to watch your precious pet. She treated our little one as if she was her owner. Photos and comments were sent to ensure our little one was having a good time. I thought our dog might not want to leave Jenny! If you are looking for the best person to stay with your dog, Jenny is the one!”
“Tanvi is super star host. We left Sailor with her for three days. He was very happy and relaxed during his stay and we received daily pic and video update everyday. Knowing your pup is happy while you are away, is a great feeling. I would definitely choose her again and recommend her to other pet parents.”
“Noria was fantastic with my dog Nala. She boarded her in her home and made sure Nala had lots of fun and was well cared for. Norias love for animals shows through in all she does while caring for my puppy. Noria is very enthusiastic, warm and caring. I would highly recommend her services.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Lisa and her family. They were great with our dog and treated her like a member of their family. I’m so glad we found her and we don’t have to worry about leaving our dog.”
“All the rave reviews are true: Ginnette was terrific! We never left our two dogs with anyone before, so we were nervous to leave them for a week— only until we met Ginnette for a meet’n’greet and our two dogs loved her. She was very communicative throughout the process and easy to work with. She also sent photos and videos each day, which kept us from wondering and worrying. We will definitely call upon her again (with fingers crossed that she’s available). Thanks again, Ginette! ❤️”
“Rachel is absolutely amazing. My Jessie was happy and she took care of her with so much love and attention. She was great with keeping me updated and was very warm and inviting. I will be using her again for all my boarding. Thank you Rachel!!!”
“Ryan took really good care of Pucho. Ryan sent me updates with pictures letting me know that everything was going well. I will definitely be rebooking with Ryan in the future.”
“Tom was great! He’s very friendly and worked well with our dog Lyla! He gave great feedback on her stay so we weren’t worried about our dog at all! I’d highly recommend Tom!”
“Pardeep was incredibly responsive to all my questions. Throughout Grady’s stay, I received regular updates with great photos so I always knew how things were going. It was clear he cared for Grady and treated him like his own. I would absolutely recommend Pardeep to anyone looking for an attentive and caring place for their dog.”
About: Does your dog bark at invisible intruders, get the zoomies at random times of the day, or act like you’ve abandoned them forever when you leave for 5 minutes? Same. I’m Amber—a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to an Italian Greyhound who keeps me laughing (and on my toes) every single day. Dogs tend to warm up to me quickly because I meet them right where they are at. I know first hand what it’s like to care for dogs with big personalities, and I have a knack for helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m the fun human friend your pup never knew they needed. I’ll be their hype woman, adventure buddy, and professional snuggle supplier while you’re away. I’m just getting started on Rover, so please give me a chance to show you and your pup how much care, patience, and fun I bring to every walk, playtime, and cuddle session. LOOK NO FURTHER—IF DOGS COULD SWIPE RIGHT, I’D BE A MATCH. I’m an early riser, I start my day around 5 a.m. My work hours are 7 to 3, but I am available for walks or visits before and afterwards. When off the clock, I’m either adventuring with my sidekick or chilling at home. No kiddos or partner so I have plenty of flexibility and free time to give your pup all the love and attention they deserve. When caring for pets, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness whether I’m at their home or mine. In their own space, I follow their usual routines as closely as possible—feeding, walking, playtime, and any special needs they have—to help them feel secure and relaxed. If pets come to my home, I create a calm, welcoming environment with plenty of toys, cozy spots to rest, and lots of attention to make them feel right at home. I always communicate with owners to understand their pet’s personality, preferences, and any health or behavior concerns so I can tailor my care to each pet..
“This was our first time using Rover and we were so lucky to have Xinzhi take care of Ruby over the weekend! Ruby had a blast hanging out with Xinzhi’s dog Bella. Xinzhi took great care of Ruby and she felt at home with her hospitality! She kept me updated through out the weekend posting pictures and videos of Ruby, taking her for long walks and outdoor plays and ensuring Ruby was comfortable just like being at home. I did not worry a bit about Ruby! I will use Xinzhi again for Ruby!”
“We are so grateful to Sayak and his family for the great care they gave Bailey while we were away. We loved the daily updates and photos and could tell from the photos how comfortable Bailey was staying with them. We will definitely use Sayak again & would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
About: I have watched, walked, and taken care of all kinds of dogs for the past 6 years. I have a Red Fox Lab named Trout who is my best friend that I take everywhere with me. He is the reason I started taking care of other people's pets. He deserves the best and so does every dog. I love walking dogs and making sure that they get the proper exercise they need. I also am very aware that every dog has different needs and personalities which allows me to provide customized care for every dog. I am currently a stay at home dog mom available all days of the week. I recently decided to move to New Jersey because of my husband who plays for the Somerset Patriots. I brought our slightly spoiled dog Trout (Lab) with us who gets along great with other dogs. We have a very spacious and luxurious apartment that's only 10 feet away from the complex's private huge fenced in dog park where they can run around and burn some energy. I have been caring for animals for around 6 years now and understand how scary it can be leaving your pet with someone else. My goal is to make your pets feel at home and to give you the peace of mind that your pet is in great hands!
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my whole life! I grow up with every animal you could think of! I would love to take care of your fur baby! I do currently work full time but I am completely off 2-3 times a week! My schedule is pretty flexible and could work around your needs! I have a fenced in- extremely safe yard! I also love taking dogs on walks if needed as well! I do not mind if your dogs is crate trained or not!

About: Hello! Come and hangout with Me, Bella (4yr old chocolate lab), Levii (3yr old Husky) and Hunter (8yr old cat)! I have many years of experience caring for animals as well as worked at a doggy day care previously! My dogs are very energetic so your pet will have a great time. With my large yard and spacious living room there is so much room for your pets to play and lots of toys. I will care for your pet as if they were mine. I have great attention to detail so they will be in good hands. I’m currently off on weekends and Mondays so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pet throughout those days.

I have a very friendly cat that naps all day. My large living room allows for plenty of space to play. I live in a very walkable town so walks are easy.
About: Before starting my own business, I was a kindergarten teacher or many years. I work from home part time. We have 2 dogs in our family. I am running my own business from home, so I have plenty of time to care for your dog. I am available for boarding anytime. I have an acre of property in a quiet neighborhood. I have 2 friendly dogs who can keep your dog company. I can easily create your dog if necessary.
