“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)!”
“Karina was an amazing caregiver for our senior dog. She loved and cared for her like one of her own dogs. She maintained constant contact throughout the weekend with texts and pictures and Gertrude can not wait to stay with her again!”
“Stan and Barbara took such great care of our dog for the week. They shared daily updates and pictures which we really enjoyed. We will definitely contact them again when we need a dog sitter. Happy to have found them using Rover!”

“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!”
“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!!”
“Carol was EXCELLENT with our dog. She was available for a meet and great ahead of time and watched him for a full week. During that week, she treated him with the utmost love and attention, truly as if it were her own dog. She was also very responsive to messages and sent updates as requested. We felt so at ease and comfortable knowing our fur baby was in good hands while we traveled. One of the best rover experiences we’ve had to date! Will absolutely use her again.”
“It was our dog's first night away from us and we feel so fortunate to have found Shaun S. Shaun and his family treated Betty with such love and took so much time to understand our dog, Betty's, routine and personality prior to her visit. It was so nice to receive so many pictures and even videos during her stay... he kept us posted the whole time. When I arrived to pick her up, Betty's tail was wagging as she "introduced" me to Shaun - along with his son and wife. What a lovely family and the perfect home to leave Betty. We already booked 2 more stays!”
“During the time my Rocky spent with Vivian, she stayed in communication with me on a regular basis, and showed Rocky the same attention and affection that he would have received at home. Vivian is trustworthy, and my Rocky had a great stay with her. I highly recommend her dog sitting service.”
“Gail took great care of sully while we were away. She is very caring and our dog seemed to feel very comfortable and relaxed in her home. She is very responsive and provides good updates. We were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying if sully was doing ok.”
“Samantha was wonderful with Nellie! She sent updates throughout the day, gave my dog her meds and nellie settled right in! She was also very flexible with scheduling, due to an unexpected winter storm. Will 100% use Sam again to watch Nellie!”
“Sue is a great sitter who was very accommodating and made our pup feel right at home. She followed our instructions and put our minds at ease and provided plenty of photos and updates on how our pup was doing. Will definitely ask her to watch our dog again in the future!”
“Bydette and her family took such great care of our dog. They gave her the same love and attention that we would and were happy to keep her on a similar schedule so it was an easy transition home. We plan to have Bydette watch our dog again soon.”
“So happy we found Michele. She took Momo out on a walk multiple times a day and sent us plenty of pictures. For a picky dog like ours Michele really fit the bill. Would 100% recommend.”
“We left our 3-year old female cockapoo for 5 days with Katie and she seemed to have had a great time while we were away. The host family was nice, attentive and caring. We got daily pictures and updates about our dog, which was very nice. We would highly recommend this dog sitter to anyone. Thx”

“Jenny and her family were warm and inviting when I met them. They have a nice large enclosed fenced in yard for Jasmine to explore. Jenny took good care of Jasmine, sending many pictures of her during the weekend.”
“Cherie was a wonderful caretaker for Chase! We were leaving him for the first time, and she put our minds at ease. We knew he was in great hands and had a lot of attention, care and love. She was great with updates, and prompt with replies to any concerns we had. We'd definitely use her again the next time chase is in need of care!”
“Erin was great with our three dogs. It was their first time staying at someone else's house and they were acting up. She was willing to bring them back to my house and watch them there. I love that she was flexible and honest. She took great care of them. I was over three hours away and was so glad that she was able to come up with plan B and execute it. She was so flexible, accommodating and friendly. She made me feel at ease. We would definitely book her again.”
“We were happy to leave Cooper in their family's care and we were not disappointed. They provided us updates on him and it was clear that he enjoyed playing in the back yard all day. The next day after picking him up, Cooper slept happily almost the whole day as he was clearly pooped from all the excercise he was fortune enough to get! Thanks guys!”

I’m also experienced with giving medications and always make sure every cat feels safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care.

About: My name is Joseph. I recently graduated from college and am living with my family and sweet Yellow Labrador in Mendham, NJ. I’m available for, and have references for, both in-house pet sitting, dog walking, and pet visits. I love to take extra time to care for your pets, such as giving them extra love and taking them on long, relaxing walks if they like that. I get great happiness from taking care of animals and would love to help out in any way you may need! I work part-time at a restaurant Thursday-Sunday evenings, generally from 4:30 PM to 8:30 PM. Aside from that, I am pretty flexible and can work from the location with your pet(s) or come for visits, whichever the client prefers. I would not be caring for the pets in my own home since I am living with others. I would instead care for them in the client’s home according to their instructions.
“Nicole was amazing to watch our cats. She was reliable on time, active in communications and sharing pictures, and she gave us peace of mind while we were away. I would recommend Nicole without hesitation l!”

“Erin was great!! She was punctual, communicative, and overall fantastic! I have a cat and dog and know they can be a handful at times. She did a great job taking care of them and also making sure I was updated on them everyday!”
“Svetlana was great! She sent photos every time she went to visit Molly. The real compliment is that Molly let Svetlana pet her and hold her, which my cat doesn't usually do. When I looked up Svetlana originally and spoke with her, I was impressed with her experience and her many strong reviews. Clearly it was a smart choice - both Molly and I are happy and appreciate Svetlana's caring.”

About: Over the past 5+ years, I’ve cared for the pets of friends and family, not as a business, but as a way to support them during vacations, work trips, or emergencies. It’s something I’ve always done out of love and a genuine desire to help. My wife also grew up having different pets, including cats, dogs, and other small animals. Together, we share a strong bond with animals and a commitment to provide them with comfort, safety, and affection. I work 100% from home, which allows me to provide consistent attention and care to the pets I look after. Your dog will enjoy plenty of companionship, playtime, and bathroom breaks throughout the day. They’ll never feel alone or ignored. We live in a comfortable, pet-friendly townhouse where your pet will be treated like family. Pets are welcome on the furniture and free to roam throughout the house. There are no restrictions on movement inside, so they can relax and settle in wherever they feel most comfortable. While we don’t have a backyard, we make sure dogs get regular outdoor time with safe, on-leash walks around our quiet, secure complex and the surrounding neighborhood. We never allow pets off-leash while outside, under any circumstances, to ensure their safety at all times.
About: Flexible hours available at your fingertips! With each pet having their own special personality, I easily adapt to its care. A lover of all animals and here for whatever they need. Ready to offer my five star service - if they like cuddles, they’ll get cuddles. If they prefer space, they’ll get space. With having two family dogs that I help take care of - both of which are almost 13 years old - I have plenty of experience and care to provide to make them feel comfortable and have a great time away. Whether it be a run/stroll through the park or comfortably watching television, I’m ready to make them feel easily at home and make you feel at ease knowing I’m with them!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Brookside
“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!!!!”
“Jaclynn is great with dogs! She has a stellar temperament and a lovely fenced-in yard. She was able to accommodate me last minute for my two large dogs, and was super caring when one of them got frightened by a thunderstorm during their stay. I will re-book with her in the future!”
“Lisa kindly dogsat for me at her home on a weekend day. My 4-month old pup had a great time with her and her pug (who is really cute). She had another client stay longer than expected, so ended up unexpectedly with three puppies on the same day! But she kept great communication and kept our appointment, which I really appreciated. You can feel Lisa's compassion for dogs. She keeps a very neat and clean home and property and has a fenced in backyard. Really glad to have her in the neighborhood!”
“George had a wonderful time at Jillian’s home. Jillian sent me pictures and updates throughout the day which was a thoughtful addition! My George suffers from separation anxiety and upon picking him up there were not signs of that. We are so thankful that we found Jillian! Additionally, Jillian responds quick and has been a pleasure to connect with - would trust Jillian with my pup any time!”
“Kathleen is so sweet and was great with Boba! She took her on multiple walks in the park, fed her and took care of Boba like she was her own. Boba seemed very happy and satisfyingly tired with her day stay. I would definitely have Boba staying with Kathleen again if the need arises!”

“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!!”
“It was our dog's first night away from us and we feel so fortunate to have found Shaun S. Shaun and his family treated Betty with such love and took so much time to understand our dog, Betty's, routine and personality prior to her visit. It was so nice to receive so many pictures and even videos during her stay... he kept us posted the whole time. When I arrived to pick her up, Betty's tail was wagging as she "introduced" me to Shaun - along with his son and wife. What a lovely family and the perfect home to leave Betty. We already booked 2 more stays!”
“Sue is a great sitter who was very accommodating and made our pup feel right at home. She followed our instructions and put our minds at ease and provided plenty of photos and updates on how our pup was doing. Will definitely ask her to watch our dog again in the future!”
“So happy we found Michele. She took Momo out on a walk multiple times a day and sent us plenty of pictures. For a picky dog like ours Michele really fit the bill. Would 100% recommend.”
“We left our 3-year old female cockapoo for 5 days with Katie and she seemed to have had a great time while we were away. The host family was nice, attentive and caring. We got daily pictures and updates about our dog, which was very nice. We would highly recommend this dog sitter to anyone. Thx”
“Erin was great with our three dogs. It was their first time staying at someone else's house and they were acting up. She was willing to bring them back to my house and watch them there. I love that she was flexible and honest. She took great care of them. I was over three hours away and was so glad that she was able to come up with plan B and execute it. She was so flexible, accommodating and friendly. She made me feel at ease. We would definitely book her again.”
“We were happy to leave Cooper in their family's care and we were not disappointed. They provided us updates on him and it was clear that he enjoyed playing in the back yard all day. The next day after picking him up, Cooper slept happily almost the whole day as he was clearly pooped from all the excercise he was fortune enough to get! Thanks guys!”
“Awesome! Jean, is excellent! We left our 7-year-old Labradoodle for the first time with Jean for an extended weekend. She treated Simba as if he was her own dog and sent us pics of their wonderful time together multiple times a day. Simba loved it and felt at home. We are so glad we found Jean as she will be our go-to person moving forward.”
About: Hello my name is Sarah. I am a mom of 3, and have 2 pups of my own in our family. Pets have always been a big part of my life since a very young age. They are so much more than pets, they are our family members. I am currently a full-time stay at home mother with ample time to help you and your family out while you are away, at work, or your pet is in need of a companion. I know how hard it is to leave your pets/family alone while you have to take care of every day life. I can travel to and from your house to care for your pet(s) as one of my own. My schedule is very flexible to accommodate any need you might have. I will make sure your pet is very well loved and happy from the time I get there until the time I leave. I look forward to meeting you and caring for your loved fur babies.
About: I’m just starting out on Rover, but I’ve grown up with dogs and been around them my whole life. I work remotely most days, so I am flexible to adjust my schedule to make sure your pet is well taken care of. The sillier and goofier your dog, the better! Whether your pet likes to go for long walks and play fetch or lounge around the house, you can be sure they will be in good hands while you’re away. I work a full-time job and am remote at least 3 days a week, so I am flexible to adjust my schedule to meet your dog’s needs. On the weekends I am looking for any excuse to be outside, so your pets will get plenty of time in the sun! My partner and I live in a house, with no other pets or children. Your pet will be my #1 priority! We have an open yard with plenty of shaded space, and some nice parks nearby. There is a neighbor that lives below us, so any dogs that bark very frequently may not be a great fit for us
“Jojo vacationed with Kristin over the Memorial day weekend. She had a glorious time with her new friend Arlo. Kristin sent daily updates as well as pictures of Jojo's adventures. I picked her up on Monday and she was excited to see me. As I went to put her in the car, she tried to return to Kristin,s home. Kristin took amazing care of my girl and I will use her service again the next time I need to leave her.”
“Jackie was so great with my puppy Harley! She kept me updated with pics throughout her stay which made me so comfortable. I could tell Harley was happy and got lots of excercise while with her. Jackie even went out of her way for me and came to pick up my puppy when I was stuck with a flat tire. I would definitely recommend Jackie and will use her again in the future. :)”
“Audrey took excellent care of our diabetic senior cat! She communicated clearly and sent pictures daily! She clearly cares a lot about the animals left in her care and wil use her services again when I need overnight boarding for my kitty!”
“Kat was awesome. This was the first time I was leaving Neo for boarding and was little anxious. But she made it very easy. She was meticulous in asking all the needs, schedule, do’s and font’s. The communication was great with regular updates. She took very good care of him. Definitely will recommend and go back to her for all future needs.”
“It’s my first time to use Rover.and I’m glad I found Sebastian-he’s taken exceptional care of Rocky’s first boarding experience. He’s amazing and kind. We’ll definitely book him again. I’m appreciative of him sending me pics and video clips of Rocky every day during his stay. Thanks Sebastian!”
