About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, from tiny puppies to senior pets, so I understand the care, patience, and attention each stage requires. I have also worked with pet rescues and fostered several dogs and cats while they awaited their forever homes. For years, I’ve been the go-to sitter for friends and family, caring for everything from high-energy puppies to shy rescues. I’m experienced with administering medications, crate training, leash walking, and working with anxious or energetic pets. I work at home most days during the week. I will plan my day around whether I have a special pet visitor, dog walk, or cat visit. In my home, pets are treated like family. I provide a safe, clean, and cozy environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and walks. Pets are never left unattended for long periods, and I always follow your routines for feeding, exercise, and rest. Whether it’s snuggles on the couch or some playtime, I make sure your pet feels right at home. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and your pet’s routine. I follow your instructions carefully to keep things consistent and stress-free — from feeding schedules to favorite walking routes. I make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and affection they need, while also keeping your home tidy and secure.
“Sujanna was great to Sidney and great to work with!! She sent multiple updates and pictures every day. I could tell that Sidney was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Sujanna as a dog sitter and look forward to using her again.”
“Mia took such great care of our dog. She was responsive leading up to it, and sent updates throughout his stay so we knew he was having a great time with her! We were very happy and will be sure to use Mia again, and highly recommend her!”
“This past weekend was our first time using Rover and we were a little wary about using the service. That immediately went away when we did a pre-meet with Ritu and Nischaya. I appreciated that they wanted to meet our dog prior to agreeing to watch him overnight. When we left our dog, they were so attentive and connected with him right away. They treated our dog like their own and sent multiple updates, pictures, and videos. We could tell how much fun he was having! They took him for walks and he played in the yard a few times a day. They were so responsive and gave us complete peace of mind. We could not be happier with the care that they provided! We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring dog sitter!”
“Cheryl is amazing!!! My dog, who is usually wary of new people, feel in love with her right away. Cheryl was so great about sending me pics and videos, which made me feel like I didn’t have to worry at all about my doggie. I will definitely be using her again in the future and suggest you do as well!”
“Teresa was fantastic. Gave us updates with photos, has a great environment for the dogs, and most importantly, our dog came back without any behavioral changes. Just the same happy dog we dropped off.”
“Caliber had the best caregivers in the world. I have so much respect for Siram and Rekha. Caliber is a fussy pet, they took the care to make sure he ate, take him for walks etc., They are Caliber forever caregiver as long as they are available.”
“Jessica is absolutely wonderful with my Bella. She communicates every day with me and took care of my doggie as well as I would have. This is our second time using Jessica and will continue to do so in the future.”
“Lee K was great with my dog Bodi. Knowing that she was familiar with looking after senior dogs and giving medication made me feel comfortable using her pet sitting services. She took great care of Bodi, helping him as needed & provided me with many photos & videos so that I could see how he was doing while he was staying at her home. Upon picking him up I could tell he had a relaxing stay and was comfortable within her home and around her other dogs. We are looking forward to using Lee K again in the future!”
“Andrew did a great job taking care of my pup. He sent many pics, videos and updates through out the day. Murphy was very relaxed and happy staying with Andrew. I will definitely use Andrew’s services in the future.”
“Val is the best! She’s so loving and caring and treated my pup with so much attention and care. Highly recommend Val’s home for a loving place for your dog while you’re away :)”
“Usually when I board Prince at the vet he is mad at me for a day or two. This time he came home happy which means Kathie took good care of him and he had a good time. Next time I go away I will definitely request Kathie.”
“This was my dog's second stay with Barbara and I can't say enough good things: Barbara and her daughter obviously both love dogs and are very caring and accommodating. They provide a lot of affection and a comfortable, homey environment - We got back a very happy dog! We will definitely call Barbara when we need a sitter again.”
“Katherine was a godsend when I needed an emergency cat sitter for my little man. She’s accommodating, friendly, and communicative. Also, I appreciated the gentleness she used with my cat, which put my mind at ease while he was boarding. I highly recommend Katherine as a sitter. She’ll definitely be repeat resource for us.”
“I have to give Enis 5 stars! If I could give him a 10+, I would! Using a dog sitter for the first time, can be nerve wracking. Enis put us at ease. We met him at his home for a meet and greet. He showed us his backyard and where the dogs would be staying. While we were away, he sent us pictures and gave us updates on how our dogs were adjusting. Our one dog Knox was having a hard time and Enis stayed calm and gave him time to open up. Altogether, Enis was very professional and did a wonderful job in providing our dogs with a good routine and a comfortable place to stay. I would highly recommend using him!”
“Roberta and Travis were great with Oscar! Pickup and drop off were seamless and I got messages with feedback that put me at ease. Oscar came home happy, healthy and tired!”

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Many sitters in NJ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
