“Walter and Katherine were absolutely amazing with our Cavapoo, Henry!!! They sent us a ton of pics ❤️ and communicated easily with us from booking to pickup. Henry can’t wait to go back! Thank you Walter and Katherine!!”
“Jennifer is absolutely incredible. Larry my puppy is 3 months so I was nervous to leave him with anyone, let alone a stranger. She quickly put my mind at ease when I watched her interact with Larry. And to be honest the best part of this review is, Larry is wildly excited to see Jennifer each morning she watches him. Jennifer is incredibly accommodating as well. My schedule changed 4x over a 2 week stretch and Jennifer made a stressful situation very comforting. I actively using her services and will continue to.”
“Steven and Tracy are ah-mazing with Jaxson. When I drop him off in the mornings for doggy daycare he’s usually tired but as soon as he sees them waiting in the driveway his tail starts wagging and he’s immediately excited, and I love that. I work a lot and having a safe, fun place for him to socialize with other dogs (annd they have 6 of their own) and be loved on is exactly what I was looking for. I always look forward to the pictures and videos they send throughout the day, and they are great with communication. When I pick him up after work we’re both tired lol, and that’s all a busy dog mom could hope for. I appreciate the service immensely and I’m very happy I picked the right people for Jaxson on my first try with the Rover App.”
“Misty was amazing with my baby! From the time we started chatting, to meeting at her home, to the photos sent throughout. My dog lets me know how she feels about people, instantly, and she was surely comfortable with Misty. I’d recommend her to anyone and surely would send Nova to her again in a heartbeat!”

“Yan, Jingtao and Toro were excellent hosts! They agreed to a meet and greet ahead of Rigby’s stay and Yan sent lots of photos and videos during his stay - really put a new dog dad at ease.

About: I am a previous owner of a beautiful Golden Retriever and a Cocker Spaniel. I am also currently a FUNcle to my sister's 100 pound German Shepherd who adores me and I him. I recently moved out of NYC and back to NJ and a lot of my friends parents have asked me to come by to let their pups out and take them on walks every so often when they're away. I would love to take care of your pet as well. I work from home so anything works for me. Your dog will have plenty of outdoor time while I am home so that they aren’t stuck inside all day I live close to a local baseball field that I have access to if I wanted to take them out for more space to play in.

He has stayed overnight in our home and gone above and beyond - cleaning dishes, taking out the trash, and getting the mail/large packages. He spends so much quality time with my dog and I can tell he cares about him as much as I do! One time he even found a tick on my dog and removed it with tweezers. Scott is an extremely reliable walker/caretaker and I would recommend him to anyone!”
