“Elvis, our Cavapoo puppy, had a lovely time at Yvette’s! Elvis was well taken care of at her place. She sent us videos and photo updates throughout the stay and even baked cookies doggie for him. He went for a long walk and loved it. He had the best time and he was so happy there thank you so much could not recommend it highly enough. He got so much love and attention ….We will be back soon!!!”


“Our pooch had a wonderful time hanging out at Steven's house. There is a lot of indoor space and a fenced yard to play in, and other doggy friends. Steven sent us photos every day of all the fun. Steven was very easy to communicate with and perfectly accommodated our schedule. We are so happy to have found such a wonderful situation so close to our home in Hopewell.”


“Maureen and her family were amazing and took such great care of our boy. I received videos And pictures daily and sweet little messages. Will definitely be using her again and referring those who are in need of a sitter they can trust. Thank you Maureen ?”


“Joanne was fantastic and made me feel she would protect (and spoil) my two high-energy dogs. Joanne was very responsive and kept us updated frequently. I would 100% recommend. Thank you, Joanne!”


“Excellent experience boarding with Whitney and Michael. Great communication making it very comfortable. Flight was delayed multiple times coming back to NJ and was over an hour after the pick up time frame before I made it to their house to pick up Ivy, but very understanding and accommodating. Will definitely be my first choice whenever I have to travel.”


“Karina is amazing as a pet sitter. She took beautiful care of Honey and embraced him as her own. She provided everyday updates , took him for walks and really made Honey comfortable. Also, she ensured Honey came to us smelling good and clean. She gifted him few treats as well. I highly recommend Karina for her warmth , kindness and pet care.”


“Indrani did an amazing job taking care of my dogs for 10 days. I have two adult huskies. They both have their quirks, that are hard for others to understand or deal with. That was my first time booking a sitter through rover, and I was very nervous and paranoid. Indrani was updating me multiple times a day, sending photos and videos, and overall she made sure that my dogs are safe, and I have nothing to worry about. Indrani is very serious and trustworthy person, you can trust her 200%!”


“Jose was great with my dog Elmer. He can be a bit demanding when asking for attention and Jose just gave all the love that was asked for which I'm sure helped Elmer relax while I was away. Jose sent a ton of pictures which I appreciated and definitely took the time to get outside even though temps were in the 90s. I would recommend him to anyone and would ask him to take my dog again.”


“Margarita was great with Blossom. Blossom is a bit timid but Margarita made her feel so comfortable. Margarita sent plenty of updates, photos and videos, which kept our mind at ease. Will definitely be using Margarita again!”


“I appreciated the meet and greet, which made both Isbath and me comfortable with boarding my dog (bigger and older than hers). My dog obviously had fun and had good exercise. I'm very comfortable leaving my dog with Isbath”


“esther was very sweet and caring with our pup kobe. she sent us lots of pictures and videos and made sure kobe was able to have lots of walk and potty sessions. my pup loves her place so much. we greatly appreciate her trying to work things for us during the holidays. thank you, esther!”


“Alyssa took great care of Oreo. She was patient, gentle, and punctual. She kept us informed on how Oreo was doing so we could feel comfortable being away from Oreo. We will definitely ask her to sit Oreo again!”



“After meeting Betha and her family before booking, I really felt comfortable leaving for my short weekend get away. I received daily pics from Bertha, and Laci really seemed to be enjoying herself with Bertha's two beautiful daughters. I will be booking with her again in two weeks for a 8 days stay. I TOTALLY recommend Bertha to take care of your paw-baby”


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!

“Snuggles had such a great time with Karina and Terry that she slept the entire day afterwards. Will definitely repeat when the opportunity arises. She was well taken care of. Highly recommend.”


About: I am a fellow dog Mom looking to give the care I would expect for my own Lucy Goosey. I have also fostered dogs and just find joy being around dogs. A house full of dogs is a happy home. I work from home and find the best way to take mental breaks is to walk and play with my dog. I am my happiest in the sun with a pup at my feet. In my home they will be part of the family. I have two boys who love dogs and a dog who loves to play or let your dog chill; whichever there speed is she can match ( but she loves it when it’s play!) In your home I will respect your space and ensure your dog is filled with extra love while your gone and make the visits count with whatever their favorites are wether that’s belly rubs, fetch, long walks or all of the above!

“I was visiting from out of town and Mansi was a great sitter! My dog was comfortable with her and played well with her dog Cookie who is well behaved. I highly recommend Mansi and will definitely use her in the future when I visit the area!”


“Allison was such a wonderful sitter for our dog Bruno (lab mix). She is very warm and caring. He had a great time at their house and came back tired after a day of playing with Hudson and Tucker. She was very accommodating and provided many updates with pictures. I would definitely use her services again. Thank you so much!”
