“Another fabulous dog sitting experience with Tony! We knew Obi was in great hands over the holiday. Tony is Obi’s BFF, we are so grateful to have found such a reliable, friendly and calm dog sitter in Tony 🐾🫶”
“Katherine was amazing with our cats Pita and Helga, she played a lot and took amazing pictures with Pita. She provided multiple updates with pictures throughout her stay. Would definitely love to have her over again!”
“Alexandra was a great dog sitter for our senior pug. Our dog has special needs such as going out 3-4x a day, needing a diaper, and some pills with food. She dog sat at our apartment for a week and everything was smooth. She also provided regular updates. We will be booking her again for now on.”
“Emmy loves Kendall and so do we!! We had a lot of anxiety leaving our brand new rescue home with a new person while we were at work, but Kendall came over the day before and hung out with Emmy and made sure to ask all the necessary questions. Believe the 5 star reviews!”
“Cassie was absolutely wonderful watching our high energy puppy for a long weekend at our place - she sent lots of photos which gave us peace of mind while we were out of town for a few days! Highly recommend Cassie as a trustworthy sitter for your pets :)”
“Dona was great and friendly! I was provided lots of pupdates and could see all the activities she did for lola. The apartment was treated respectfully and Lola really loved having her! Lola was happy and safe when I came home 😊”
“Tiffany is the best dog sitter in Jersey City! 👏We are so happy we chose her to care for our special needs German Shepherd dog Nellie. She is a dog whisperer and was so good with our girl. Thank you for going the extra mile Tiffany. We hope we get to have you care for Nelly again next time we are in town.❤️”
“Beth is always so amazing with Moose! We had Beth stay with Moose over the holidays. She is always communicative, and sends the best photos. She was so sweet to leave us pastries and left our place as clean as we left it!”
About: I provide reliable dog walking, drop-in visits, and in-home pet care. I have experience caring for a cat for 17 years and a Maltese for 2 years, so I understand both long-term care and daily pet needs. I’m calm, patient, and good with all temperaments, and I follow routines carefully to keep pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for while keeping owners updated. Pet care is my full-time focus, allowing me to offer availability seven days a week for dog walking, drop-in visits, and in-home sitting. My flexible schedule enables me to provide dependable care, consistent routines, and personalized attention to each pet’s needs. Please feel free to contact me to discuss availability and scheduling. My focus is to keep pets comfortable and secure by maintaining their normal routine in their own home while carefully following all care instructions, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, medication, and playtime. I also provide regular updates so owners feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for at all times.
“Jolea was excellent! She took great care of my 3 babies - 2 cats and one senior dog. She was responsible, communicative, followed my instructions, left my home clean, and clearly loves animals! I would definitely recommend Jolea and book her again! Thank you!! :)”
“Kat is an amazing sitter. My dog loved her instantly—she literally ran up to Kat during our first meet-and-greet, which immediately put me at ease. I booked Kat right away and left for a 4-day trip feeling confident my dog was in great hands. Kat sent plenty of photos and updates and followed my dog’s supplement schedule and more complicated feeding routine perfectly. My golden retriever is a puller on leash, but that didn’t faze Kat at all. I came home to a happy dog and a clean home, exactly as I left it. I’ve already booked Kat again for a shorter trip and am in the process of booking her for a two-week stay. Highly recommend!”
“Susi is not only great with both our cat and dog...she goes above and beyond to help in times of need! We were traveling for an extended 10 day period and decided to book Susi to stay at our apartment for the time we were gone with our cat Stevie. Stevie always liked Susi but was clearly immediately at ease with Susi living in our place, constantly snuggling with her and showing affection. About 4 days into the trip, a massive storm hit and our balcony flooded. It caused flooding in our downstairs neighbor's apt and if it wasn't caught right away, would've flooded ours. Susi spotted it and figured out how to coordinate with the Super and neighbor to make sure the situation was under control. Without Susi we wouldve had a MUCH bigger problem to deal with. We're so appreciative of Susi not only for how much our pets love her but for treating our home like her own! 10/10 would recommend Susi!”
“Can’t say enough great things about our dogsitting experience with Kaitlin! Very kind, attentive, and communicative during her stay with Teddy. Thank you!”
“Jocelyn took excellent care of my two dogs while I was away for a long weekend. She sent frequent and reassuring updates and went above-and-beyond the call of duty.”
“Brooke was the absolute best with Penny! She did such an amazing job of keeping our senior dog active but with plenty of rest. When we came home, Penny was snoozing away , no barking nothing, which means Brooke clearly made her feel super comfortable. Would have her back whenever- she’s also an amazing house guest.”
About: Your pet’s favorite vet student! I’m currently a third-year veterinary student with a lifelong passion for caring for animals. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy or a beloved senior, they’ll receive attentive, compassionate care and plenty of love while you’re away. I’m patient, reliable, and enjoy long walks, playtime, and making sure every pet feels comfortable and safe. Growing up with a senior dog taught me the importance of personalized care, patience, and attention to detail. My veterinary training also allows me to recognize potential health concerns and monitor your pet’s well-being closely. You can feel confident knowing your furry family member is in caring, knowledgeable hands. I am currently on summer break! So I have lots of free time on my hands. I will be doing externship work at nearby veterinary hospitals at some point but that shouldn’t change my schedule too much. I love keeping pets active, happy, and entertained through walks, playtime, and plenty of interaction. I make sure they always have fresh food and water, get the exercise they need, and stick to their normal routine as closely as possible. Most importantly, I give them lots of love, attention, and companionship so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away.
“Jose took care of my dog, Yogi, for three days and stayed at my home while I was away. He was very responsive throughout the entire stay and consistently kept me updated with photos and messages from Yogi’s morning and evening walks. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing Yogi was being well cared for. Everything went smoothly, and Yogi was happy and comfortable when I returned. I really appreciated Jose’s communication, reliability, and attention to detail. I would absolutely book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Aiyana was great! She left our house in perfect condition, and our dogs happy and healthy. We received regular updates, with great photos, and she was so sweet telling us good things about our dogs. She also watched our dogs during heavy snow, ice and rain, and we came home to no muddy paw prints. Highly impressive considering the mud pit that is our yard.”

Perla and Sophia showed their love for Beau and looked after him like a member of their own family which is what we would want from any Rover sitter. Special shout out to Sophia who showed great maturity and provided any support Perla needed to look after Beau!
Leigh was amazing with our corgi, Rigatoni! We were in a bind with finding someone on short notice and Leigh stepped in with some options for us. She came over to meet us and quickly bonded with him! Throughout her 3 days, she was super communicative and provided us with updates and pictures. Rigatoni loved spending time with her in the comfort of our apartment and going on his daily walks. We cannot wait to have Leigh come and watch Rigatoni again. Thanks, Leigh!
Fernando takes excellent care of our foster dog, Ernesto and this stay was no exception. Even though he's watched him a few times before, each stay is different as Ernesto learns and grows and Fernando handles each update and change beautifully. He's a wonderful communicator and we never even have to wonder how Ernesto is doing when we are away because Fernando keeps us posted at every step. Thank you so much, Fernando!
Katherine was incredible! Our dog has some medical concerns and this was our first time leaving him with a sitter since he began his medication. She was so great about following our administration instructions for the meds, as well as anything else we shared with her. I’d highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again! Our dog was so loved while we were out of town, and that’s truly all we could want!
Brooklyn is an absolute gem!! Cannot recommend her enough. She was extremely communicative, kind and very experienced with pups. My Rio is a Velcro active dog, who needs exercise and cuddles in equal measure. She took him to the park to get his wiggles out and then snuggled with him while I was away all day. 100% would recommend. Thank you Brooklyn!
We had a great experience with Salette while we were away from Wednesday through Sunday. Mushi and Lola were calm, happy, and well cared for when we returned which is always the best sign. She was kind, communicative, and easy to work with throughout the stay. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals and I felt comfortable knowing my dogs were in good hands. I would absolutely use her services again and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter <3
Anthony was amazing with Finley and my foster dog, Duncan, who isn’t it the best medical condition. He was able to come spend the day with the two of them while Duncan was still in the adjusting phase and communicated regularly with great pics!! Thank you Anthony :)
Samantha and Jong Yeu house-sat and cared for my pets multiple times and I truly appreciate everything they do. They are attentive, reliable, and genuinely caring. I always come home to happy babies and can tell they've been loved, spoiled ;), and well-cared for throughout my absence. I also appreciate their thougtful communication! I trust them completely and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.
Claire is THE BEST! 5 stars isn’t enough! She took incredible care of our dog for a week, sending us pictures and updates multiple times a day. Leading up to our trip, Claire made sure to stop by for a walk through so she knew where everything was for our dog. She is so kind and takes such great care of our dog. We’ll be recommending her to everyone and will be booking her again.
We had a wonderful experience with her! She was incredibly kind, communicative, and attentive with our two puppies, Leia and Ken. From the moment we met her, we felt comfortable leaving them in her care. She kept us updated, followed instructions carefully, and treated our pups as if they were her own. Leia and Ken were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we returned. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were with someone so patient and loving. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of our babies! 🐶🤍
Hugh was great with my two older large dogs. He administered medication and even cooked for one of my dogs who was sick at the time. He was prompt with communication and left my apartment in a good condition. I highly recommend Hugh and will definitely reach out to him again.
