“This is now the 4th time Ekaterina and her family have baby sat for my girl, Loretta. Loretta is very nervous and has really bad separation anxiety. But Ekaterina and her family are always so wonderful with her! With them, I never have to worry about Loretta when my family and I go away; she is in perfect hands! I get constant updates and pictures. She’s taken for walks constantly and I get updated on it all. Ekaterina, I say this all the time, but you and your family are such a blessing to us! You are our forever sitter! ♥️”
“Paul is excellent! Dunley is a 5-year-old lab/cattle dog with high energy. Paul made sure Dunley got enough exercise, walks, and plenty of fetch. He came back happy. I will definitely use Paul again!”
“Vanessa is a really wonderful pet sitter. She was very thorough making sure that she understood my dog’s schedule, sleeping habits, how he tolerated the heat, etc. My dog loves attention and people and she was great about giving him tons of affection. My Maltipoo was well cared for and happy. I received regular photos and update - I highly recommend her!”
“Amrit was fantastic! Super communicative and kind. I could tell our cat was well taken care of for the week he spent with Amrit. Amrit was also very flexible and understanding with changes in plans. HIGHLY recommend and would 1000p book with him again!”
“Jessie stayed with Tynesha and her family for four days. This was the first time she stayed with someone other than a family member. She sent me photos everyday and I could see that Jessie was happy and bring well taken care of. I will definitely use her again.”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jessica! While I was traveling, my dog required unexpected medical attention, and Jessica went above and beyond to ensure she was well cared for. She immediately recognized the issue, took her to the vet, and kept me updated throughout the process, which gave me such peace of mind. Jessica treated my dog as if she were her own, providing excellent care, administering medications as instructed, and showering her with love and attention during her recovery. It's clear that Jessica is not only reliable and professional but also incredibly compassionate and dedicated. I am so grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Jessica, for everything!”
“We felt so comfortable boarding our dog with Seureon and Dongkwan! We received tons of photo updates throughout his stay, and they were responsive and flexible whenever communicating through logistics. Our dog is very hyper, but he seemed nice and worn out from playing when we picked him up. We will be boarding our dog here again!”
“Caroline took absolutely amazing care of my puppy. She kept sending us photos and videos of him while in her care. He came back super happy with his time off ?. I would highly recommend her and would definitely be taking her up on future opportunities for care!”
“My pups loved Jessica! It was my first time using Rover for our 9 day trip and everything went so smooth. My mini doodle is usually skittish but he went right to her and from the daily photos we received, he loved cuddling and staying by her side. He had plenty of other small doggies to play with and get his energy out. Thanks Jessica for making boarding not so scary!”
“Wow! What an exceptional experience. Melanie was so lovely and attentive. Our large breed dog Jerome had major surgery so we reserved Melanie months in advance for Thanksgiving travel. She was super accommodating, visited Jerome prior to the reservation and invited us to visit her home to assure us he’d be in a secure space as he continued his healing. She regularly sent adorable photos of Jerome to show us he was content. Melanie is a GREAT caregiver, not just a dog sitter. She’ll always be our first choice in the future.”
“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.”
“Luis (and his wife Laura) were very welcoming to our small dog. He sent photo updates twice a day which was very reassuring. It’s great to have such a reliable and caring boarder in the same town!”
“This is the 2nd time we left our furry baby with Carmela (for two weeks this time) It is like dropping Buddy off at a friend’s house. She is wonderful. She sent us photos and kept us updated on how he is doing. If he was not eating properly, she checked on what she could do to make him eat. Her dog also easily gets along with other dogs.”
About: COZY HOME BOARDING! 🐾 I work from home, so your pup will get lots of outdoor breaks (I need the fresh air just as much as them!) and can promise they will never be alone. I am super neat and can ensure that your pet is in a safe enviroment. Growing up with two pups (who lived to the ages of 11 and 18), I especially know how to give extra love to your senior! I’m WFH full time. Along with frequent outdoor breaks, I’ll continue routines you already do with them to make them the most comfortable. I have a hazard-free home for our young pups and experience with senior pups (diapers, pads, extra TLC)! I’m ready to take any dog strollers out if necessary.
“Jen was super flexible on drop-off & pick up times & extended schedule. She was proactive in sending photos of my dog from walks & generous in using extra dog booties on my dogs paws to keep him cleaner. Last minute I had some probiotics & med to give my dog & she was ok with that too! I would definitely be confortable leaving my fur baby with Jen & highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve been caring for cats for about 6 years, including my own 6‑year‑old tuxedo and the Maine Coon I grew up with. I’m comfortable with shy, playful, and senior cats and always follow your feeding and litter box routines closely. I can give pill medications when needed and pay attention to each cat’s personality so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away, with photo updates to keep you in the loop.

About: I give personalized care to every pet. I also have experience with dogs, whether it’s reinforcing basic training or providing attentive care, I adjust my approach to fit them. I plan my schedule around consistency and reliability. I make sure pets get timely walks, meals, playtime and specific care they need. Caring for pets isn’t something I squeeze in, it’s something I intentionally structure my time around. In a client’s home I focus on maintaining their normal schedule so they feel comfortable in their familiar environment. In my home, I create a safe, calm space where they can relax and feel at ease.

“Vanessa was super helpful. Cooper is a very energetic puppy.He always gets excited when meeting new people or being in a new environment, and apparently he was excited and didn't nap the entire morning, but Vanessa was very patient in taking care of him and kept me informed throughout the day by sending me the updates and photos. Cooper looked happy when he was with Vanessa and when I picked him up. I'll definitely go back to Vanessa for help in the future.”

“Connor was amazing with my newly adopted dog, Wendy! I was very nervous leaving her as Wendy is still learning to trust new humans so she is a little anxious in new environments. But Connor understood, gave her space and kept her comfortable during her first doggy day care experience. She had fun socializing with his dog Kygo along with some other dog friends outside in his fully fenced backyard. Connor put me at ease with updates and pictures as well. I will be using Connor again in the future and definitely recommend his services to others!”

About: I’ve spent the last 6 years caring for dogs and cats for families in my neighborhood, including puppies, high‑energy dogs, and seniors who need a gentler pace. I regularly do dog walking, drop‑in visits, and house sitting, and I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding, medications, walks, and playtime. I treat every animal like my own, send lots of photo updates, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed while their people are away. I’m a college student, so my availability is best during school breaks and holidays. When I’m home in New Jersey, I’m generally free on both weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to work around your travel plans. I keep my calendar up to date and respond quickly so we can find times that fit your schedule. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to the routines you already have in place—feeding schedule, walk times, and house rules. I always double‑check doors, gates, and leashes, and I watch for any changes in behavior or appetite that might signal a problem. I’m respectful of your home, keep things tidy, and send clear updates and photos so you always know how your pets are doing.
About: Hi, I'm Xiomara and currently live in the Chatham, NJ area. I'm a huge lover of pets and have had many growing up and continuing over the years into adulthood. I currently have one cat at home, who is almost 14 years old and at times help take care of my family's Shih Tzu. Our previous family dog had diabetes, so I have experience administering medication should that be necessary. I love dogs and cats, whether they are young or old equally, and you can trust your pet will get the best treatment from me. I work from home with a pretty flexible schedule, so I'll have time to play with your fur babies and am available any day you may need. My home is smoke free, one level and has just enough space for your pet to run around safely. My cat will also be around to keep them company.
About: I happened to work as Sales & Social Media Coordinater for a dog training school a few years back, and that experience changed my whole outlook on how we care for our pets! The dog trainers I created content for taught me about positive reinforcement and reward-based methods in the process. Since moving to a different field I’ve used those skills to handle, walk, and petsit every animal from bearded dragons to cats on the side in a way that’s fun for everyone involved. Animals are my happy place & I’d love to share that joy with your family! I work 9AM to 6:15PM most days, so I am the perfect candidate for your morning and evening walks as well as overnight stays! I can do afternoon Drop-Ins for Short Hills/Essex County residents as well. It’s also no problem for me to house-sit and care for your home as gently as your pets! I’m very flexible - please contact me to find a schedule that works for you! I do not offer boarding services in my own home at this time, but I will always make sure I leave my client’s home as I left it when I visit and care for their beloved one 🐾
“I can’t say enough good things! I reached out last minute—literally the night before—after my original dog walker had to cancel due to a family emergency. Travian came through bright and early at 6:30 AM with zero hesitation. Total lifesaver.”
“Alex was wonderful and took great care of my sweet puppy! She went above and beyond to make sure she ate her lunch. Great communication! She shared lots of cute photos! Definitely recommend!”

About: I have had dogs in my house for as long as I can remember (since I was four, to be exact) - I know how to deal with the barking, gently wrestle a leash onto the wriggliest of pups, feed them on schedule even when they beg for early dinner, and give them all the love they could possibly need. I have walked, fed, and cleaned up after my dogs for years, and I am so excited to get to do that for other pups too! I am a college student home from school and have extreme flexibility with my schedule. I have a car, so I can drive to your house to take care of your pooch as needed at almost any time between 8 am and 6 pm. The most important thing for me when taking care of pets is their comfort. As much as I love to cuddle our fur babies, if they don’t like physical touch I will give them their space. I am happy to play tug of war, fetch, and even let them chase me around outside (I understand needs change depending on the breed). I feed them as instructed and on schedule (having trained myself to resist even the cutest of puppy eyes begging for extra treats) and make sure they only get what their owners have left for them to have. I also love taking dogs on walks for exercise, both for their sake and my own!
