We recently had Jon watching our dogs ,one who has health issues ,when we went away on vacation for a week. We were a little apprehensive to leave them in a new kennel for that long. Jon took incredible care of both our dogs, walking them ,playing with them in the yard and just spending time with them. He has incredible patience with dogs, more then I have ever seen in another person. One of our dogs has very high energy, and Jon was able to play with him and exercise him until he was tired and happy enough to sleep, not an easy task for a border collie mix. Our other dog lives to chase a ball, and Jon spent quite an amount of time throwing the ball to her. As a result of the care our dogs received, we were able to relax and totally enjoy our vacation. We came home to extremely happy dogs. I would not hesitate to use Jon again for our next vacation.

Jonny was absolutely pawsome! He treated our 1-year-old Golden Retriever, Ollie, like his own furry child. Not only did he keep us updated with plenty of Ollie pics (because, let’s be real, we’re obsessed), but he also made sure we felt totally relaxed with Ollie in his care. Highly, highly recommend Jonny – he’s top dog in our book, and we’ll definitely be calling him again! 🐾

Tara was fantastic! I couldn’t believe how attentive and wonderful she was to my pup. Winston is half blind and a senior, but Tara was able to accommodate all of his needs and was incredibly gracious and kind every step of the way. Winston loved her and I’d book her again in a heartbeat. I was so nervous about leaving my dog with someone, and Tara allayed all of my concerns. Fantastic work!

I definitely recommend Jamie for pet sitting and house sitting!! She took the best care of my chihuahua/terrier, going above and beyond in every aspect. She maintained my dog's food, treat, medication, and walking routine perfectly, which kept her sooo happy and comfortable. I loved receiving photo updates, as it reassured me that she was in great, loving hands. Her attention to detail and genuine care for my pet truly set her apart. I’ll definitely be using her services again!

Nalani was an amazing dog sitter! She took great care of my dogs, making sure they were well-fed, exercised, and given lots of love and attention. She kept me updated throughout, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such capable hands. My dogs were so happy and calm when I returned, which is a true testament to how well she cared for them. I would absolutely recommend Nalani to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!

About: I’ve been blessed to walk, sit & board my friends/Neighbors/family dogs since I was about 11, I fell in love immediately! I’m not a vet or anything but me being very sympathetic for animals has always earned me a new little furry bestfriend. Even strangers dogs love to interact with me, I’m like part of the pack! I am currently working Full time as a dog walker/Sitter!! Weekends I am free but I am a youth football coach so if you have pups who love kids & running around I’d love for them to tag along! I am also a pro gamer so 1 day in a week/weekend I travel out of NJ & come back next morning. I have a well sized gated backyard & my neighbor has a pack of dogs that can keep your pups company besides me, no grass unfortunately but I live by parks & have grass on the block. Inside I have 4 spacious rooms they can wander around, hardwood floors so very easy to clean up after.

I highly recommend Amir as a pet sitter on Rover.com. Amir watched my dog, Louis, for three weeks and did an amazing job. He were reliable, attentive, and followed all my instructions perfectly. Louis, who can be quite particular, quickly bonded with Amir and was very comfortable and content. Amir’s genuine love for animals was evident in the care and attention they gave Louis. Amir also provided regular updates and photos, giving me peace of mind while I was away. If you’re looking for a responsible and compassionate pet sitter, Amir is the perfect choice.

Kat is one of the best dog parents that I know and biggest dog lover. When I visit with my dogs her corgie and new puppy black lab are wonderful play mates for my small Wiener dog, Winston. With a big backyard my baby boy always come home happy and exercised! I would highly recommend and if there are any issues between the dogs Kat’s amazing yard has a fenced in side yard so the dogs can get to know each other with some extra space.

About: I started doing this for a friend that was going on vacation. I spoil Molly & treat her like I want mine to be care. I do this as a part time, I work from home, have my own routine. Like to be call three days in advance before you need my service. I don’t bring pet to my house, I believe is better not taking them out of their homes. I always treat them great. They are my baby pets.

About: Our Why? We have Huskies, and while still offering our service to other breeds, we highlight that it takes a fellow Husky owner to understand what a Husky needs. Despite their mischievous shenanigans, Houdini escape attempts, endless fur-sheddings, high-pitched vocalizations, bubbly, energized personalities, and hyperactive frolicking, we adore huskies. We understand finding experienced, dependable, loving, and trustworthy caregivers for your Husky isn't easy. That's why we are here to help. We currently have two friendly young huskies (one male and one female- fixed and crate-trained). We also have experience with English bulldogs, Sharpeis, Chow-Chows, Labs, Doodles, and Boxers. We only offer care for dogs based upon the comfortability of the match to our pet-care style and demeanor. We love our pets as we will love yours. We are focused on weekends, holidays, and summer care. We are open to possible weekday arrangements if your dog is crate-trained. Before booking us, a drop-by visit is required to test the compatibility of all humans and dogs. A few things: Special note-while we have never owned a French bulldog, we are particularly interested in learning to care for this breed. Your pet must be spayed or nurtured to receive boarding in our home. Also, we are sorry but we cannot offer care for full or mixed Pit Bull breeds. How does pet care fit into your daily and weekly lives? Our pets receive two meals a day, comprising dry food and water. Our pets are crate-trained and remain crated when owners are away. Most of the time, there is an adult in the house. Our dogs can access a large fenced backyard with green grass and trees. Our dogs walk with owners through nearby Branch Brooke Park and visit the dog park almost daily. Our dogs are crated during adult meal times and sleep in the main bedroom on the floor, side couch, or end of bed at night. We maintain a clean home and provide puppy pads during inclement weather to avoid mud and chaos. Pets have access to some rooms, but not all rooms in the house. Toys and treats are provided regularly. Linens on beds where animals may sleep are washed and switched out regularly. Our gate is blocked off on both sides because huskies are known for escaping. Our pets have ID collars and ID dog tags and wear GPS trackers during the day. Our dogs are up-to-date on immunizations and have been spayed/neutered. We don't hit our dogs with our hands or objects but use basic word commands. Training dogs is always a work in progress. They are both loved for their uniqueness. We only plan to care for pets in our home. We have a large and welcoming home.

I HIGHLY recommend Cypress as a dog caregiver. Cypress absolutely loves animals and takes wonderful care of them. Cypress is literally my English Bulldog's best friend. She is highly responsible and knows how to handle many situations that can and often do arise. She is caring and meticulous and makes awesome recommendations.
