Highly-rated overnight sitters - Basking Ridge
“I feel bad for myself when my dogs have a good time without me. - but THEY LOVE GOING TO DEB’S! An overnight and no problems, no starving themselves, no crying all night. Just a regular day only without me. How lucky am I to have access to this help for my furr babies (and for my soul)!”
“Areli took good care of our two Havanese dogs! When I met her she reassured me they would enjoy their stay and they did. She fed them daily, and gave the older dog his meds, and made sure they were safe and happy. She took daily photos and keep me informed. I would definitely reach out to her again. Thank you!”
“Kaitlin and her family took fantastic care of Poppy during her stay. She sent numerous photos and videos showing how happy Poppy was in their home. Could not have asked for a better experience.!”
“Stan and Barbara were wonderful! Our dog felt comfortable right away and we could see how happy he was in all the pictures they sent us. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Cooper with them again. We are very grateful we found them.”
“Shaun was so great with Scout! Sent helpful updates and Scout seemed so happy when I picked her up after four nights away. Would definitely recommend and I know Scout can’t wait to go back.”
“Lisa is amazing! She did a great job keeping us updated with pics & videos. Our dog has never looked this happy when we’ve gone away. She kept her active with walks & playtime with her pup. Highly recommend!”
“Lulu and I met Ji and there was an instantly connection. As she had never met Ji and was in a different environment, Lulu seemed content. Ji kept me updated on Lulu’s adjustment, which stated was going well. I truly appreciate Ji being able to take care of Lulu on such a short notice. Hopefully in the future if needs arrives Ji will be able to take care of Lulu again.”
“Our mini-bernedoodle, Luna, had a wonderful 9 night stay with Jaqi and Andre. This was Luna's first time away from family, so she was a little nervous at first, but with Jaqi's love, she was able to adapt to the new surroundings well and make many new doggie friends. Jaqi had incredible communication, sending us a note and picture of Luna within 10 minutes of us first dropping her off, showing us that Luna was already settling in. Throughout our trip, Jaqi sent links to fun videos (also posted to her Instagram) of Luna and the other dogs playing. Jaqi has a wonderful backyard for the dogs to explore and her dog Andre is an incredible doggie-host! Will definitely book with Jaqi and Andre again when we are away on family vacations and plan to also bring Luna over for a periodic doggie daycare day. Thanks for being so good to Luna, Jaqi!!”
“I am so grateful for Jessica! I needed a sitter at the last minute, and she was incredibly accommodating. Not only did she step in on short notice, but she also took such great care of my fur babies, providing plenty of attention and love. I received regular updates with pictures, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter!”
“Sayek is wonderful with training and long-term pet care! We left Azula with him for about 20 days while we were traveling abroad, and she adjusted extremely well. There was no trauma or difficulty readjusting after we returned. It was clear that Azula felt right at home during her stay with Sayek. We were very happy with the care, attention, and affection she received, and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“I had a wonderful experience with this dog sitter! Communication was excellent throughout my trip, and I received daily updates and pictures, which gave me great peace of mind. It was clear from the photos and updates that my dog was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Knowing my dog was in such good hands made it much easier to relax while I was away. I will definitely be booking with them again in the future and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter”
“She is so communicative, kind, and always responsive. And she really treated my frenchie like he was her own. I really appreciate that because he needs a lot of attention haha. I felt like a family member was taking care of my frenchie and that is the best feeling in the world. Thank you! I highly recommend :)”
“Before our weekend away, Jessica worked with my puppy and I to make sure everyone was 100% comfortable and ready for her first weekend away from us. Jessica treated my dog as if she was her own and gave plenty of updates and sent lots of adorable pictures. It is comforting to know we have someone who is flexible and reliable that we know cares about our puppy!”
“Linus stayed with Sue and her family for 12 days over the holidays & we couldn't have been happier with her care. She texted regularly and sent photos and it was clear that Linus was getting all the love and attention he would get from us. We're thrilled with Sue & will definitely use her again.”
“Anny was wonderful with our dog Simba! She was kind, polite, and professional from start to finish. We especially appreciated the frequent updates and photos she sent while we were away — it gave us total peace of mind. Simba came home happy and healthy, which says it all. We would absolutely book Anny again and highly recommend her to any pet parents.”

“Svetlana just spent the weekend with my new cat and I felt so safe leaving him with her. She understood that he was still adjusting to his new home and was so loving and kind to him. She kept me informed about his eating and activities and sent me wonderful pictures of him. She is highly responsible, communicative and a pleasure all around. I trust her completely. Thank you, Svetlana!”
“Rosalie was amazing! She took great care to keep me updated on how my kitties were doing, cleaned up any messes, and took time to sit and play with them while we were away. She even made adorable keychains in their likeness! Planning to book with her again for my next trip!”
“Literally could not ask for a better rover!!! James checked in on Finley last minute for us and was fantastic. He was incredibly attentive and great with communication. He made sure to keep me updated and let me know exactly how Finley was doing while I was away. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone to do drop-ins!!!”
“Isaac was great and communicated well! We had a last minute outing to see some family and didn’t want to leave Jolie for 8 hours. Isaac kept her great company and sent lots of pictures so we knew she was happy while we were out!”
“I’m so glad we were able to meet with Emily and have her sit for our cats! Our cats got along with her right away. She went above and beyond for everything. She was very reliable and communicative which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away!”
About: Over the past few years I've built hands-on experience caring for dogs in multiple settings. I spent two summers at Camp Bow Wow, where I supervised playgroups of up to 25 dogs and handled daily care tasks such as feeding, administering medications, cleaning play yards and giving baths. I have also volunteered at many animal shelters where I walked dogs, fed them, cleaned kennels and assisted with training playdates. Additionally, through my sorority I support the Boulder Guide Dogs for the Blind by fundraising, baking treats, puppy-sitting, and socialising puppies to teach them good manners and prepare them for formal training. As a college student, my class schedule is flexible (giving me plenty of free time throughout the day to walk, play with, and care for your dog!) I am super easy to reach via the Rover app or text, and last minute bookings are no problem. I am open to midday walks, evening check-ins or an overnight stay on short notice, and can adjust my schedule to meet your needs! I miss my own dog back home so much, so caring for your pet isn't just a job, it's a way to fill that gap. I treat every dog as if they're my own, ensuring plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. My experience caring for my dog (as well as 2 dogs and many foster dogs before her) have taught me to be patient, responsible and attentive to every dog's unique needs.

“Bridget was wonderful with our shy, asthmatic cat! She's a kind and communicative sitter, and our cat warmed right up. Bridget was able to give Bean her daily inhaler and was quick to identify when she needed her emergency inhaler. We would absolutely book Bridget again!”
“Elizabeth and her husband were excellant cat sitters! Lulu is a shy and anxious cat with some bathroom quirks but they were able to handle it with no issues and Lulu even came out to play once or twice! I am really grateful for their professional care of my cat. ☺️ thank you again!”
“This was our first time using Rover for a house/cat sit, and we had an amazing experience with Krystie. Before booking, Krystie answered all questions that we had and asked really good questions to better understand our Smallfry and put our minds at ease. She arrived promptly on the day of the sit so we could walk through the house and introduce her to our cat and how best to care for him. During the stay, Krystie provided multiple status updates each day with photos and video. We could tell by our cat’s behavior that he was very well cared for and made a new best friend. It is always tough leaving a pet for vacation, but with Krystie we knew Smallfry was happy and in good hands. We would definitely book Krystie again in the future and would highly recommend her for anyone else looking for a sitter with an abundance of communication, experience, and kindness.”
“Ethan was fantastic watching my two cats while my family was on vacation. He fed them, cleaned out the litter box, and cleaned up the messes that one cat left on the floor in protest of us being away. Ethan was responsible, communicative, and trustworthy. I would use him again and would highly recommend him to others.”
“Laci is such a great cat sitter! She always took the time to hang out and try and get our cat to play, cleaned up food and cleaned the litter box. Came home to a very happy cat. Will continue to book Laci in the future!”
About: I’ve cared for and owned cats of all kinds my entire life, and I truly understand that every cat has their own unique personality and needs. Whether your cat is playful and social or shy and independent, I’m happy to provide the care and patience they deserve. Neighbors, friends, and family have always known they can count on me to care for their cats as if they were my own. From feeding and litter box care to playtime, medication, cuddles (if they’re in the mood!), and plenty of love and attention, I’ll make sure your feline family member feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. ❤️

Perfect for high energy dogs - Basking Ridge
“Was in a pickle and needed pet care for my springer spaniel Beau. So happy I connected with Jacki. She has provided such a great service watching my buddy for me while I was away at work. Updates throughout the day. Good communication very pleased. Beau has alot of fun while staying with Jacki during the day ! We will definitely be back to visit Jacki”
“Debbie sent pictures and all I saw were 2 small dogs who did not miss their human Mom. There was play time (smiles and action), down time (cuddling and relaxing). I was always under the impression they sat in a corner and missed me with all their tiny hearts, but no - Debbie had them going the whole time! One fell asleep on the drive home due to the days action, the other needed every minute of tthe days action! Her property is amazing! Gorgeous setting only maybe two or three miles from downtown Bernardsville. So much safe space to run and play in. Exploring is at the top of Louie's requirements and he had a whole acre of fenced in yard to get all his Terrier on! Thanks so much Debbie! WE WILL BE BACK!!!!”
“I commend Jiyao for the great care provided to my dog, Halo, during my initial Rover experience. Jiyao's patience, enthusiastic approach, and excellent communication ensured my dog's safe and happy return. His services are also competitively priced! We will gladly utilize his services again.”
“Excellent and caring provider. She takes the time to speak to you about your pet’s needs as well as spending the time to learn and experience your pet. She is extremely knowledgeable about all types and ages of dogs and their needs. She is very flexible with scheduling. She provided constant feedback throughout via texts, pictures and videos. My puppy had a wonderful experience with Jessica and her crew!”
About: We love our dog but we aren’t crazy dog people. Our home is clean. We have a friendly husky and a large fenced yard. We don’t leave for longer than 2 hours when we have a dog over and generally take 1 guest dog at a time. We work from home and only watch when we can be here every 2 hours. We don’t go out for more than 2 hours with a dog staying. I have a big fenced yard and a friendly husky that will keep your pet entertained. We also have a great dog walking neighborhood and path.
“Kumud is an incredible dog sitter. She’s gone above and beyond to ensure that our high energy pup is cared for, exercised, and comfortable. Her yard is the ultimate playground and she always makes sure the dogs are playing nicely together. Her dog, Kai, is sweet and playful and welcomes others in. Kumud’s family is really sweet and I trust that Zoe is safe in their care. I highly recommend Kumud’s services.”
About: Hi! I’m Lindsey, a lifelong animal lover and trained dog care professional based in Madison, NJ 🐾 I am willing to help all over North Jersey! I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently care for my 14-year-old Wheaten Terrier, Dexter, who I’ve had for his entire life! :) I’ve also worked in a professional dog daycare and provided dog walking and pet sitting for multiple families, and I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities!

About: I have lots of experience with dogs and absolutely love spending time with them — playing, teaching tricks, and taking them on walks. I grew up around dogs and have a real passion for it! I only take one dog at a time, so your pup gets my full attention and focus throughout the stay. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can walk your dog in the early morning, during lunch, and in the late afternoon/evening — basically as needed throughout the day. I live in a house with my sweet two-year-old daughter, who is gentle and great with animals (no grabbing or rough play!). Because of this, I’m looking to care for friendly, calm dogs who are comfortable around kids. If your pup fits that description, I’d love to give them a fun, attentive stay full of walks, play, and maybe even a new trick or two!
“Wonderful experience. He is super attentive and really wants to know your pet's needs. His place is beautiful and with so much space any pet would be happy and comfortable. Would def recommend.”
“Jackie was wonderful with our little puppy! She sent updates throughout the day and was very good to work with. We will be using her a lot in the future! She's a great communicator, too. Very caring and he was in excellent hands!”
“Katie was amazing!!! She was on time and communicative the whole way. Even though it was cold outside she bundled up my baby and took her out for walks. Definitely re-booking with Katie!”
About: I have been pet foster parent since 2018, in this time I have been able to care for around 30 pets. Some come with special challenges but have thoroughly enjoyed and fallen in love with every one of them. Goodbyes have been tough, they have gone on to loving home and thrived. I am thankful to be a small part of their journey! I am currently on work break, which gives me plenty of time to play, take long walks, and give your pet the attentive, dedicated care they deserve. I live in a townhouse with a large living / dining room and if needed can create a separate area for the pet's comfort. I have access to a large non-fenced backyard and long walking paths.
“Armani had a great time during his sit as he came back energetic and super playful! They also provided constant updates which I absolutely loved. They definitely took care of my puppy, so I highly recommend!”
“Josephine’s first stay with Pardeep was seamless. Pardeep was very accommodating with my schedule and provided a safe, calm, enjoyable day for Jo. He kept me up to date on her as the day went on and that is always reassuring. His dogs were friendly and respectful which I greatly appreciate due to Josephine being a senior. I would gladly recommend him and will seek his care for Josephine again soon.”
About: I am able to build a genuine bond with each pet. I take time to understand their unique routines, behaviors, and preferences, so they feel safe, happy, and loved, even when you are away. I am reliable, detail-oriented, and treat every pet as if they were my own, with lots of affection, play, and attention. Whether it’s daily walks, medication, or just cuddle time, I go the extra mile to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I have my own pet sitting business, and I have never turned down a client in the five years I have owned my company. I always find time for pets. I have a chocolate lab named Jumbo, who is treated the equivalent of royalty. As for the animals I pet-sit for, I walk them three times a day (more or less depending on the age), play with them for at least 30 minutes outside, feed them, and tuck them into bed.

About: With over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My expertise goes beyond simple walks. I have extensive experience caring for pups to senior dogs, ensuring they receive the gentle, tailored care they need, including administering medications, managing mobility issues, and providing lots of comfort. What sets me apart is my deep passion for animals and my commitment to making every pet feel safe, happy, and at home—even when their owners are away. I take time to understand each dog’s unique personality, routine, and preferences, offering personalized care that fits their needs. Whether it's energetic playtime, calm cuddle sessions, or specialized care, I treat every pet as if they were my own. As a part-time aviation student and food service professional, I have developed excellent time management skills, allowing me to balance my passion for pet care alongside my studies and work commitments. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent and reliable care for pets, fitting walks, sitting, and boarding around my other responsibilities. This means your pets will always get the attention they need, even during my busiest days. Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or my client's home. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I take extra care to respect their space and follow all provided instructions, ensuring their pet’s routine remains as consistent as possible. I keep an open line of communication with regular updates and photos, so owners always know how their pets are doing. I also prioritize trust by getting to know each pet before care begins, discussing their specific needs, routines, and any special concerns. Whether it’s ensuring doors and gates are securely closed, or knowing the signs of stress in animals, I go the extra mile to provide a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment for every pet in my care.

I understand each pet has different needs, so I always ask for details/notes to make sure I can accommodate properly. Under my care, your pet is treated as if it is my own and has my full attention.

“Our mini-bernedoodle, Luna, had a wonderful 9 night stay with Jaqi and Andre. This was Luna's first time away from family, so she was a little nervous at first, but with Jaqi's love, she was able to adapt to the new surroundings well and make many new doggie friends. Jaqi had incredible communication, sending us a note and picture of Luna within 10 minutes of us first dropping her off, showing us that Luna was already settling in. Throughout our trip, Jaqi sent links to fun videos (also posted to her Instagram) of Luna and the other dogs playing. Jaqi has a wonderful backyard for the dogs to explore and her dog Andre is an incredible doggie-host! Will definitely book with Jaqi and Andre again when we are away on family vacations and plan to also bring Luna over for a periodic doggie daycare day. Thanks for being so good to Luna, Jaqi!!”
“Sayek is wonderful with training and long-term pet care! We left Azula with him for about 20 days while we were traveling abroad, and she adjusted extremely well. There was no trauma or difficulty readjusting after we returned. It was clear that Azula felt right at home during her stay with Sayek. We were very happy with the care, attention, and affection she received, and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“She is so communicative, kind, and always responsive. And she really treated my frenchie like he was her own. I really appreciate that because he needs a lot of attention haha. I felt like a family member was taking care of my frenchie and that is the best feeling in the world. Thank you! I highly recommend :)”
“Linus stayed with Sue and her family for 12 days over the holidays & we couldn't have been happier with her care. She texted regularly and sent photos and it was clear that Linus was getting all the love and attention he would get from us. We're thrilled with Sue & will definitely use her again.”
“Paul was phenomenal! I received daily photos and updates on how she was doing. Ru was put on a supplements after our meet and greet Paul was great about it, he was able to get her to take them even though she hates to. We will definitely be using Paul again in the future.”
“Laci is very cool and laid back. She has a wonderful house to take care of your pet. Her dog is so friendly and welcoming! She takes great animal pics too, sends along on regular basis. We’ll definitely be back to see Laci during our next NJ visit.”
“We were very pleasantly surprised by how professional, kind, and attentive this couple was while caring for our dogs. Since we’re not from the Northeast, we were a little nervous about leaving our pups in an unfamiliar area, but they immediately put our minds at ease. They were incredibly welcoming, communicative, and genuinely caring. We felt confident that our dogs were in great hands, and we’ll absolutely book with them again the next time we’re in the area. Absolutely recommend!”
“Bhavani and family took care of our Diesel during holiday season (9 days). Our Diesel is a large (lab) puppy with extra energy. She did a great job and I highly recommend her. She was quick to respond and very accommodating. She even helped navigate the app( for first timer like me) and from the beginning of setting up the meet and greet visit to until the last day, she was prompt in communicating, shared pictures and videos daily, followed the instructions. Bhavani family loved and cared for our Diesel like it their own. Did not bother us with anything, just shared pictures and videos which gave us peace of mind and confidence to enjoy our vacation. Her home is safe for pets and she really has the experience to handle them. I will use her service again in future ( although it is an hour away drive for us) because safety and happiness of our fur babies comes first. I highly recommend her to everyone. Thank you Bhavani.”
“Excellent care! Jacquelyn and Bryan were super attentive and loving to my Ollie girl. They sent pictures and updates throughout and I felt comfortable for the entirety of the stay that she was in good hands. Highly recommend :)”
“Michele is a wonderful sitter! I’ve used her several times to watch my dog, and each experience has been smooth and completely hassle-free. She’s very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and always willing to work with my schedule. She carefully follows all of my instructions and consistently sends pictures and updates throughout the day without me even having to ask, which gives me great peace of mind. I always feel reassured leaving my dog in her care, and I’ll definitely continue booking with her in the future.”
“My wife and I so greatly appreciate Lupe's exceptional care of my 2 year old dog, Roopert (Roo) during my first Rover experience, which was an entire week! We are accustomed to leaving Roo with close family or friends, so I was initially apprehensive about Rover. However, Lupe's outstanding communication and daily updates, including plenty of photos and videos eased our worries. With Roopert weighing almost 70 lbs and bursting with energy, I truly appreciated Lupe's dedication to spending quality time playing with him, including fetch in his spacious, fully fenced yard, and just his overall competence as it pertained to dog behavior, and the needs associated. When I picked up Roopert this morning, he looked fantastic – clean, content, and absolutely joyful. Lupe's top-notch service and genuine care for our boy are so greatly appreciated. I wholeheartedly recommend Lupe to anyone seeking trustworthy and loving care for their furry friend. Thanks, Lupe!”
