“Our dog Mookie had a wonderful stay with Kelvin & Monica! This was my first time using Rover and having Mookie stay with a pet sitter while we are on vacation, but they made the process so easy, and I was able to enjoy my vacation! They took wonderful care of him, and were very communicative with updates and pictures. I felt such a sense of relief, knowing that he was being well cared for. They were very quick to respond, and very flexible when our flight got delayed and we had to pick him up a little bit later than originally scheduled. I look forward to working with them again in the future!!”

“Melissa and her family are the absolute BEST!!!! My dog absolutely loves going to their home and being entertained, loved and treated like a princess. I can't say enough good things!”

“Celeste did an amazing job taking care of my greyhound. Jolteon is terrified of cars and Celeste went way out of the way to make sure my pup was comfortable and safe.

I will be using her services be again very soon.”

“Sunny was a wonderful dog sitter! She was friendly and attentive. She made our family feel comfortable leaving our 15 year old dog when we were away on vacation. She communicated daily sending updates and pictures. We can tell Caesar had a great time. Thank you Sunny for taking such good care of our dog. We will definitely use Sunny again in the future!”

Upper Saddle River dog parents share their Rover experiences
Monica & Kelvin are truly the best!! They were very accommodating and eager to take on my 2 dogs with last minute booking. We were very fortunate to find them available on the holiday weekend. We have a spoiled 1 year old King Charles who requires hand feeding at times, and they were more than willing to accommodate this feeding. The constant pictures and updates was great showing both dog’s were adjusting, and truly happy during their stay.

I cannot recommend Melissa and her family enough. From the moment we had a meet and greet with her, I knew Watson would be in amazing hands! After dropping him off, I was updated multiple times a day with pictures, videos, and updates of him living his absolute best life. There was also so much care taken to accommodate him since he had a recent injury that he’s just out of recovery for. They took care of him as if he was their own, even going for walks in the rain! I’m so grateful to have found people so truly caring and who love animals to take care of my little guy! He is currently sound asleep after an adventure filled few nights! I’ll absolutely be booking again in the future! Thank you all again for being incredible ☺️

Celeste is AMAZING!! Do not hesitate for a moment to leave your pet with her and her family. She was wonderful with our puppy and sent us pictures and videos! He was treaded like part of the family in her home. He came home happy and well cared for. I will 100% be using Celeste again to care for Hank!!
