“Our 2 dogs spent 12 days of Christmas with Sarah and her family. She really dedicates her home and her time to caring for all the pets. She gave our pups time to adjust before meeting any other fur babies. Everyday we received photos and videos. This was so reassuring because we missed them so much! We are always comfortable with bringing our pups to Sarah. We so appreciate the peace of mind that they are happy and loved.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, from tiny puppies to senior pets, so I understand the care, patience, and attention each stage requires. I have also worked with pet rescues and fostered several dogs and cats while they awaited their forever homes. For years, I’ve been the go-to sitter for friends and family, caring for everything from high-energy puppies to shy rescues. I’m experienced with administering medications, crate training, leash walking, and working with anxious or energetic pets. I work at home most days during the week. I will plan my day around whether I have a special pet visitor, dog walk, or cat visit. In my home, pets are treated like family. I provide a safe, clean, and cozy environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and walks. Pets are never left unattended for long periods, and I always follow your routines for feeding, exercise, and rest. Whether it’s snuggles on the couch or some playtime, I make sure your pet feels right at home. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and your pet’s routine. I follow your instructions carefully to keep things consistent and stress-free — from feeding schedules to favorite walking routes. I make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and affection they need, while also keeping your home tidy and secure.

“Brittny provided excellent care for our goldendoodle, Billie Holiday. Brittny has a large dog of her own, so is quite familiar with the craziness that a big, active dog can bring to the party. I was very happy that Billie had such a wonderful home and family to spend a long weekend with. I will definitely be calling Brittny again!”

About: Hello all! I’m Michael, and I looking forward to caring for your pup. I’m experienced with all ages and I treat every pup like part of the family. (Due to my current living situation, I am ONLY allowed to dog board/house-sit hypoallergenic dogs or dogs that shed minimally.) Let’s connect! My availability varies throughout the week but I can be more than flexible to accommodate your pets needs. Whether it’s taking your dog for a quick walk or boarding for a weekend, I’m your guy. I care for pets by trying to keep a clean environment at all times. Cleanliness is very important to me as I find it very important for general health.

“We had such a great experience Ankita! She truly made my dog feel right at home from the moment he arrived. It was clear he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. I especially loved that he was never alone. She and her family were always around, giving him plenty of attention and making him feel like part of the household. He also had a blast spending time with their dog, Panther. They got along great, and it made the whole experience even more fun like a vacation for my dog. I could tell from the updates and how he was when I picked him up that he had an amazing time. I’d absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive sitter!”

“I wish I could give an extra star to show how wonderful my experience with Marisol and John was. It’s always scary leaving your beloved pet with someone you don’t know, but they did everything possible to make sure I felt comfortable with Rudy in their care. Communication was great, fast responses to anything I sent, and lots of updates with pictures. They very clearly treated him like he is part of their family, and it’s obvious that this isn’t just a job, that they truly care about your babies. Rudy loses weight very easily, and his feeding schedule is a bit complicated to prevent that. They did an amazing job with it though, and he came home with no weight loss and cleaner than he was when he left my house. They even gave me a little framed picture from his time with them. Rudy was very sad to leave all of his new friends behind, but he will be seeing them again for sure. I cannot recommend Marisol and John enough. Your baby will be safe and happy with them.”

About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals since I was 8. My passion for dogs will never stop growing. I have worked with dogs for 4 plus years now, from boarding, grooming and all around care. I treat and love every dog like my own. Use this link to get $20 off on your first booking! https://www.rover.com/sit/sabris67056 I’m currently in online school pursing my bachelors, so I have extra time on my hands. I will be in school for the next year. So why not do what I love, right? I have a very friendly dog who is very gentle with all dogs. If your pup stays with me they can be separated with no issue if you prefer. Or have a bestfriend to play with. I have my vet assistant certification to know if there are any abnormal issues or concerns with your pups. I also have 4 plus years of working in a dog boarding kennel so I worked with many breeds including large dog breeds.

About: Reliable, fast response, energetic, gentle care and true service for your fur babies! I am the most simple sitter you can find, with 10 years in care taking and dog walking! I have been in the veterinary practice for about 7 years, animals are my passion, don’t stress your daily care or walk for your pet, Rover is here to help and I don’t ask for much! 🐾 My goal is learning your best buddy and making sure it (they) are comfortable, I am a owner myself! 🐾 any additional services like domestic exotic pets (small animals , reptiles, and exotic birds) will automatically be a 5$ charge due to it being a bit more work and ensuring all pets in home are well fed and fresh water in their bowls! or playtime! ( basically let them out of cage for a little bit) Any other questions feel free to message me. ALSO these are starting rates please do not think these are actual fee rates they all depend on the service as in owners can request full time care for their pets and therefore for sitter consideration putting other commitments on hold means losing out on service for others just throwing this out there! 🐾 🐾 Currently accepting bookings all day and overnight on weekends, & on weekdays it varies on times during the day,I am pretty much flexible as long as communication is present! Accepting new clients also 🐾 🐾 🐾 Make sure they have had food, fresh water bowls, and their daily walks, make sure pets are FULLY happy and comfortable with their pet care from me! 🐾

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in NJ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
