“Mark went above and beyond when stopping in on my cats, he was very communicative letting me know how they were doing and answering all of my questions. And he even stayed to play with them past the allotted time. He did a great job and would absolutely recommend him to take care of your cats or dogs.”
“Michael is incredible. He took care of both my cats (in our home) and our dog (in his home). I felt absolutely comfortable despite being 3000 miles away. I wish I could give him 7 stars.”
“Kelly is the absolute best. This was our first time on Rover, and her communications were clear and quick, and she did great work reassuring us that our pup was in good hands. Loved the photographs, and really appreciated the time she took to communicate with us by phone and by text. We’re only slightly concerned that our pup now likes her more than us! 😀 Hugely impressed with Kelly - she’ll take fab care of your pups.”
“Katie was a wonderful cat sitter! Our two girls were obviously well taken care of and loved! Previously when we would leave them we'd get a bit of the cold shoulder when we got home because they were mad at us for leaving, but not this time so obviously they really enjoyed spending time with Katie and her fiance. We got pictures every day, she was easy to communicate with and very reliable. We'll definitely ask Katie to come back again next time we're out of town!”
“April was absolutely incredible with our two cats. One of our cats is typically incredibly shy, but she seems to respond well to April's calm demeanor. Additionally, April sent me tons of photos and updates while I was away, which really put me and my boyfriend at ease. She has clear experience with and respect for cats. We look forward to booking with April again!”
“Eva is warm and caring individual who took care of our two cats while we were away. I felt they were in good hands and I would always reach out to her when we are away. What a treat for the family”
“Stefanie is the most reliable sitter we have. She cares for our cat like he is her own! She goes out of her way to keep our home organized, clean, and in order while we are away as well. We so appreciate all that she does for our cat (who is very needy).”
“It's such a comfort and reassurance to know Geoff and Jenny are taking excellent care of our two cats when we're away. They're attentive, patient, and can deal with our senior boys' special food and medication needs without issues. I'm so happy we can count on them!”
“Jonny was amazing! My cat Oliver has congenital heart failure and requires pills twice a day. Oliver warmed up to Jonny very quickly. Jonny was flexible and easy to communicate with. He was happy to send me updates and adjust the schedule as needed. During the time that Jonny was helping me with my cats, my other cat Elio developed a UTI. Jonny was able to easily help me with her night medication. Knowing he would be there at night for my cats while I was working, made me feel a lot better. Thank you for everything! I would definitely recommend Jonny and will be contacting him in the future!!”
“Cassie did a wonderful job caring for my two Persian cats for the week I was out of the country. I enjoyed meeting her initially because I could see she was conscientious and friendly. My cats loved her visits since she played with them and let my cat sit on her lap (which is her favorite thing to do). I appreciated that she took the time to check on the upstairs water bowl and keep the litter box clean. Everything was in order when I returned and I was grateful that Cassie brought in a package that was delivered. Cassie is an excellent sitter that you can trust with your pets.”
About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life, have one dog and 2 cats of my own now! My babies are my life and i will ensure to take great care of your babies too!! I have experience with administering meds (oral and topical), physical therapy post surgery (my pup had ACL surgery), long walks, and lots cuddles! I will always ensure a safe environment for your fur babies I’m currently not working a 9–5, which means your pet gets my full attention. I have a flexible schedule and can easily work around your needs—whether that’s early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening cuddle sessions. I’m available weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and I’m happy to accommodate last-minute requests. If your schedule changes unexpectedly (because life happens!), I can usually adjust on my end to make sure your pet’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. Your pet won’t be “fit into” my schedule—they’ll be my schedule. 🐾 Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I’m very comfortable walking dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I make sure every walk is secure—using well-fitted harnesses or leashes, avoiding overly crowded areas, and paying close attention to traffic, weather, and other dogs. I love giving pets the exercise they need—whether that’s a brisk walk, a gentle stroll for seniors, or an energetic game of fetch. Cuddle time and playtime are always included, so your pet feels loved and cared for. I also have a fully fenced yard, perfect for safe, supervised off-leash time if your dog enjoys a good run or game of chase. I’m always outside with them during yard time, making sure they’re happy, healthy, and safe!

“Jenette was such a great cat & house sitter! She took care of our 2 cats in our home for a week and everything went so smoothly. Our cats were so happy when we returned. Such a relief to know that they were content & well taken care of while we were away for an extended period of time, especially since they are not always in good spirits after a trip! The house was spotless and she even watered our vegetable garden! 10/10 we will definitely be booking with Jenette again- thank you!!!”

“As pet parents , we can recognize a person who is kind, compassionate, hard working and responsible and so can our pets. We couldn't be happier with Chelsea and their exceptional care with our dog, Chewbacca and our 3 cats. She stayed at the house with them fed and administered meds as necessary especially to our one cat. Chewbacca was walked 2 times a day and taken for long walks in a park he visits every day and she sent pictures. We appreciated the updates since we were out of the country. I can't say enough about Chelsea as she treated our animals as her own.”

Upper Montclair cat parents share their Rover experiences
I book with Karen all the time. She knows what she is doing and she is very thoughtful. There was a power outage when I was gone and she thought to tell me while I was away. She was concerned about the automatic feeder. She also made sure that the cans I had for Sheba were put aside for recycling.
I couldn’t ask for more in a Petsitter than Andrea, especially since I was using Rover for the first time. I highly recommend her to care for your fur baby. She was not only exceptional in communicating with me twice a day, when I was away (one visit in the a.m. and one visit in the p.m.), she used her emotional intelligence in her observations related to Bonita’s eating and litter box habits; she clearly and in detail communicated how Bonita was doing - Bonita recently healed from inflammatory cystitis and through Andrea’s notes and interaction with me, allayed any concerns that I had. Andrea was also very reliable in showing up for her visits. Most important, Bonita liked Andrea, allowing her to pet her during each visit, which Bonita has never done with other people! My hope is that Andrea will become Bonita’s permanent Petsitter when I go away in the future.
Alyssa took great care of our house and cat while we were away for a week. She was a great communicator, friendly and trustworthy, consistent with timing of her visits, and took great pics of our kitty. She respected our home and made sure to lock up when she left. Thank you Alyssa!
My partner and I hired Jojo to take care of our bearded dragon multiple times over the last few months as we worked through the process of moving across the country. I had to take multiple trips back-and-forth and Jojo was there for us every time. We are devastated that we can’t pack Jojo up with the rest of our apartment, because we can’t imagine finding a better pet sitter!
This was our first time using Rover services and Sherylee was an outstanding, caring sitter for our cat, Porter! The pictures Sherylee sent assured us that Porter trusted her and felt safe and cared for. She followed all of our care suggestions for Porter and we could clearly see that Sherylee is a true pet lover. We will definitely request her services again when we go away!
