“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 was great! My dog can be kinda crazy but he had no issues at all and made me feel very comfortable that he would be able to handle her. Booking was very smooth and he was very accommodating, kind, and easy to coordinate with, and always quick to respond. We will be booking Michael again!”


“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.”


“So this was a very last minute & first time thing for me! Luckily Stephanie was able to accommodate me and come help with Myka. Stephanie spent some extra time with her and that means so much to us! Thank you again I will definitely be booking another visit!”

“Eva was very kind and caring with my guy Rex. We will absolutely be using her in the future. My dog loved her from the moment she walked in for the meet. Thank you for everything.”


“Marc has been great since he started checking in and walking the boys. Super nice and asks plenty of questions to make sure they’re well taken care of when he stops by. I highly recommend using Marc!”


“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!”


“Johnny has done an amazing job with our dog and for us. He is responsible, prompt, and has great follow-up with the animal owner. With the dog he is kind, patient, and interactive. Great experience all around.”


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!

“Sara Jane is so kind and was wonderful with Mona. She stopped by to meet her briefly a few days before the drop in which put me at ease. I received pics of a very happy pup which is the best! I would absolutely recommend Sara Jane and will definitely use her for future visits!”


“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 have years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including seniors and puppies. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like family. I’m comfortable with administering medications, following feeding and walking routines, and providing lots of affection. What sets me apart is my reliability, calm energy, and genuine love for animals. I understand how important it is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment while you're away. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, slow-paced walks, or just company on the couch, I tailor my care to meet their unique needs. I work from home, which allows me to provide flexible and consistent care throughout the day. I'm available for regular walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. Since I'm home most of the time, your pet will rarely be left alone and will receive plenty of attention and affection. My schedule makes it easy to accommodate pets with special routines or needs, and I’m happy to adjust my day to make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. At my home, I offer a secure, fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and exercise. I have two friendly, well-behaved dogs who love the company of new friends and help create a welcoming, social environment. I always monitor interactions to ensure everyone is getting along and feeling comfortable. If your dog prefers their own space or needs a break, I can provide crate accommodations upon request. I maintain a clean, calm, and loving environment where your pet will feel safe, happy, and cared for.

Upper Montclair pet parents share their Rover experiences
Siara M. Is a top professional with a heart of gold! She really helped our family get through a difficult time. One of our dogs had to be put down right before we had to go away. We didn’t want to leave our other pup alone. She came in and truly spent quality time our pup who had never been without her companion. She kept in touch with us with thoughtful pics and feedback that lifted our spirits and let us know our dog was in good hands!

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.

Katie and her daughter who accompanied her were at our home for the required amount of time at the times promised. Katie followed directions. She texted us any concerns. She sent a video and pictures. Our dog was cared for appropriately. I would hire her again.

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!

I recently moved to NJ with my two year old German shepherd mix, I work hybrid with going into NYC 3 days a week, Neil has made the transition so smooth for both Zuko and I. He sends me updates everyday time he walks him and advice on handling his constant pulling and chasing of anything. We are both thankful for Neil!
