“Dhruvit and his family were amazing! He sent tons of pictures, gave our rambunctious corgi plenty of outdoor time and lots of affection. We felt confident being away knowing that she was in good hands. Dhruvit was super communicative and flexible. We highly recommend him.”

“Alice was great. Sparky was so happy with her and comfortable that he almost did not see me when I came to pick him up. Would definitely recommend and we would be working with her again”

“Melodie was AWESOME!!! She treated our Trinity like family. Melodie communicated with us daily with updates and photos. We’ve used pet hotels in the past, and it usually takes days for Trinity to get back into the swing of things and be her normal self, upon picking her up she was her usual ball of energy! :) I know my pup well, and she was truly happy with her stay, and so were we. We will definitely be checking Melodie’s upcoming availability for the remainder of the year, and I would highly recommend her to anyone who’s looking for a safe and secure, but also caring/loving space for their fur kid. I can be a nervous and most times overprotective pet parent….So I’m glad we met Melodie, as I said at the top of this review…..She’s AWESOME??????”

“Jaimie, is amazing with her warmth, care and open communication. She provides constant updates and responds well. We will absolutely will be using her services again.”

About: I am American Red Cross First Aid Certified I am insured & offer weekend and some weekly pup play & stay. Your fur baby will enjoy a loving home environment with supervised playtime, cuddles, attention, and a safe place to relax while you’re away. I treat every pup like family and provide regular updates so you can feel comfortable and connected during their stay. I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will have a calm, comfortable environment with lots of companionship. I’m available most weekends for boarding, daycare, and play stays. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate potty breaks, playtime, feeding routines, walks, cuddles, and rest throughout the day to help your pup feel safe and at home. I have two friendly toy poodles and a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. Dogs in my care can roam freely throughout the house and enjoy a calm, loving environment. I also understand some dogs prefer their own space, so I’m happy to provide separate quiet time away from my pups when needed.
“Huiwon won my dogs over in minutes - and I’ve never seen anyone do that. When I picked them up it was easy to see that they adored Huiwon and her entire family 🥰 couldn’t have asked for more! Thank you so much!”

“Jose was excellent and really helped watch my dog for me during my travels. Great communication and even sent pics to update me. Thanks so much for taking care of my fur baby!”

“Returning customer here! Stacia is just a godsend. She was available to take care of my little baby on short notice, AND on a holiday so that I could enjoy myself without having to worry about (pet) parenting. 100% recommend! She is amazing!”

“Gurdeep was responsive, careful of pet food allergies and kept me updated throughout my dog's boarding stay. She also has a lovely home and is very friendly. Would definitely book again!”

“Tynesha and her family were fantastic, sending photos and quick updates throughout our pet’s stay with them! He came back to us happy and healthy (and probably missing his new temporary family a little bit, too). It gives me great peace of mind to know that, if/when we next have to go out of town, we have this great option for our dog!”


“Ahmad was super accommodating with our last minute request. We appreciate his flexibility. He shared photos and updates of Khloe. She was happy with him and also loved the parting gift he gave her. Thank You and Happy New Year!!!”


“I recently had to leave my dog, Ash, with Ilene for a week, and I can’t express how grateful I am for her help, especially on such short notice. During Ash’s stay, I was going through a lot, including a move and a funeral, and having Ilene care for Ash truly took a huge weight off my shoulders. Ash can be a bit of a handful due to her strength, but Ilene was patient and worked with me to find a solution. By the end of the stay, Ash was so happy and well cared for—I could tell right away when I picked her up! The adorable pictures Ilene sent of Ash were such a comforting touch and really brightened my days. I’m beyond appreciative of Ilene’s kindness and care, and I would absolutely trust her with Ash again.”

“Raheem is warm and friendly and my boy Nippy took to him immediately. We were grateful for his availability when we had to make a last minute reservation due to travel. He was accommodating when we needed to extend Nippy’s stay. Overall I would recommend Raheem to take care of your fur babies.”

“Yanina was so welcoming. Thank you so much for taking care of my little princess! She sent pictures and kept us informed of how she was adjusting. I came back to a happy, energized puppy with good behavior. Definitely will rebook her all the time. Thank you!”

“Extremely happy with the care provided by Jalisa and her family of my furbaby Mya! She was treated like she was their very own and my Mya reciprocated 😊 Jalisa provided daily reports and photos without me even asking & my girl looked happy! Will definitely book with Jalisa & family again!”

“Megan and Nick created the most comfortable home away from home for Brady. He came home so happy and energetic. We got regular updates and pictures which was comforting to know he was doing well throughout our trip. We would for sure recommend them and book them to watch Brady again.”

“Rose took care of our Ozzy for few days, couldn’t imagine better care! She provided us with lots of updates (videos, photos) and we were able to enjoy our little vacation! Will definitely book with Rose again ! ☺️”

South Plainfield pet parents share their Rover experiences
We had left our 5 year old fur baby under Lakshmi’s care for the weekend , he was very well take care of , Lakshmi took all the required information , she was very meticulous in providing updates during Bentleys stay and took great care of him. Would highly recommend Lakshmi for anyone looking for a great home away from Home for their fur baby while you are out , know that your baby wil be well taken care of.

We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter. She was professional, reliable, and kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and pictures, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that she was loving, caring, and genuinely attentive to our dog’s needs. We could tell our dog was happy and well cared for. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.

Highly recommend. Melodie was amazing!! Polite and very welcoming. This was my 1st time leaving my dog an I was nervous but she kept me updated and sent me pictures it really eased my mind . My dog was super happy and comfortable being there with all the walks and play dates I would totally book with her again. Very pleased with the whole experience.

Nan was great! Would recommend to anyone looking to board there pet. Was able to book with her last minute with no problem. She really cared well for my young puppy, kept in touch the entire time, and sent pictures and videos. My puppy loved her! Will absolutely be using Nan again to care for my dog when I'm away.

From the moment we met Kajal, her family, and her sweet dog Nala, we knew Toby was going to be in the best hands. She was incredibly attentive, caring, and proactive throughout the entire stay — sending regular updates, photos, and check-ins that gave us so much peace of mind while we were out of the country. What truly sets Kajal apart is how naturally she treats every dog like family. Toby has had sitters before, but we have never seen him this relaxed, happy, and at ease with anyone outside of home. He fit right in with Kajal's family and Nala, and honestly? He almost seemed a little sad to come back — which, as a pet parent, is the highest compliment you can give a sitter. It is incredibly rare to find someone who matches the love and care you pour into your own dog, and Kajal does exactly that. Toby is more than a pet to us he's family — and she treated him no differently. I would recommend Kajal without a single hesitation, not just for Toby, but for any dog lucky enough to stay with her. If you're looking for a sitter who will love your pup like their own, look no further!
