Delaney watched our cat a few times while we were out of town and took the time to play with her and give her attention. Delaney is a great pet-sitter given she is also a cat-owner so we would absolutely use her again if available. Delaney followed our instructions to the “tee” and our cat loved her for it!

Caren took wonderful care of our two pups while we were away for three days! She was incredibly communicative throughout, sending frequent updates and lots of sweet photos that kept us reassured and connected. She followed all of our feeding and care instructions perfectly, and it was clear our dogs were happy and comfortable with her. We came home to two relaxed, well-loved pups — we highly recommend Caren to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dogsitter!

About: Hi! I’m Zoe! My husband and I are passionate animal lovers who have always had pets in our lives. I have a pug named Pikachu in my family and he has a corgi named Mocha in his family, but after getting married and moving out, we’ve missed having pets around. That’s why I became a sitter—I truly enjoy spending time with furry friends! On weekends, we often help care for our friend’s Samoyed, Cairo, so we have experience with both small breeds like pugs and corgis, as well as medium-sized dogs. Whether it’s puppy care, senior dog care, I’m happy to provide loving and attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs, and give them the care they deserve! 🐾 As a curriculum designer in school, I have a flexible schedule with extended breaks. I works from home, allowing for flexible potty breaks throughout the day. One dog at a time!! When pets stay with me, I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I love spending time outdoors, so I always take them for walks and let them explore safely while I’m out on my daily walks too. I also enjoy taking photos and short videos to capture their happy moments and send daily updates to owners, so you always know how your pet is doing.

My cat is always happy and well cared for when I return, and it’s clear she goes above and beyond. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and loving sitter!

About: Hi my name is Taylor! I’m a work-from-home professional in my mid-20s based in Hoboken. I’m a huge dog lover, and since I don’t have one of my own yet, I love spending my free time caring for other pups. I have plenty of experience walking and pet sitting for friends and family, and I’m often out and about walking around Hoboken—so I’d be thrilled to have your dog join me! I’m caring, reliable, and punctual, and I always treat pets as if they were my own. Whether your dog needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or some extra love and attention, I’m happy to help. Feel free to reach out with any questions or if you’d like to meet before booking. ☺️🐶 Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I work from home three days a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday). On those days, I have plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and just giving pets company throughout the day. Just let me know your availability and we can figure out a time that works best for you! I follow your dog’s routine closely, whether I’m walking them or caring for them in your home. For walks, I keep them safely leashed, follow your preferred routes, and make sure they get plenty of exercise and sniff time. When sitting in your home, I maintain their normal feeding, play, and potty schedule, keep their space clean, and give them lots of attention and comfort so they feel relaxed while you’re away. I always send updates so you know how they’re doing.

Deanna was absolutely amazing! Ours plans kept changing and she was so flexible and easy to work with. Our elderly kitty can be a bit of a drama queen an Deanna was quick to send videos and jump on the phone to make sure everything was okay. Tigger was so content and happy when we got home. I cannot recommend Deanna enough and know that whenever we’re out of town our first baby is in great hands.

Lin is a very thorough and compassionate catsitter and I’m extremely happy that I booked her for my first Rover appointment. She spent lots of time at the meet and greet to get to learn our preferences and my cat’s personality. My kitty has a big personality and has also been acting out a bit because this was the first time he was taken care of by someone he didn’t know, but Lin consistently offered tons of patience and attention to make sure he felt happy and comfortable with her care. I would highly recommend Lin to anyone!
