Personalized care for your dog or cat - Deans

Highly-rated overnight sitters - Deans
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Whitney and Michael were absolute lifesavers! I had a last-minute work trip come up, and they took incredible care of my fur babies. Their home is welcoming, the fenced yard is perfect, and my pups had the best time playing with their kiddos and the other dogs. It truly felt like a second home for them. I’ll definitely be keeping them on speed dial for future stays. Highly, highly recommend this wonderful family! 🐾🐾🐾🐾”


“Pam was a great sitter. I appreciated the video updates and was relieved to see how comfortable my dog was there! She was also a great communicator. I liked the way she acclimated my dog to the space so she was used to everything. Highly recommend!”

“We couldn't be happier with the care Jaime provided for our dog, Maggie! This was Maggie’s first time away from home, and since she is very fearful outside of her usual surroundings, we were nervous about how she would adjust. Jaime was incredibly patient and understanding, taking the time to make sure Maggie felt safe and comfortable. She truly cared about Maggie’s well-being, helping her acclimate to a new environment with both people and pets. It was amazing to see Maggie grow to trust Jaime enough to sit and even sleep near her! We are so grateful for Jaime’s kindness and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and attentive pet sitter.”

“It was first experience of boarding/ day care for Tilak, we were apprehensive, but Savi was fantastic in taking care of him and kept us updated all along. He was a happy dog when we picked him up. Big thanks to Savi!”

“Tanvi did a great job, Skooter was very happy and well taken care of the entire time. Good communication and easy pick up/drop off. Safe and nurturing environment for all dogs. Highly recommend”

“Casey loves Catherine and it’s so nice knowing she’s happy and in good hands when staying there. I appreciated the updates and know Casey enjoyed her stay. We had some issues with her foot prior to our visit and Catherine was great to accommodate what we needed for her. She’s quick to respond and flexible; which is much appreciated. We would highly recommend Catherine!!”

“Kiko was back with Subangi and Thana last week and she had such a good time! Subangi always ensures that Kiko eats properly and keeps us informed with lots of pictures and detailed messages. They even administered a medicine for her. We (and especially Kiko!) are so happy to have found Subangi and Thana to care for Kiko when we have to be away. Thank you Subangi and Thana!”

“Kiana was amazing! She was able to take in our dog on such short notice, was extremely communicative, and upon meeting her it is evident that she has the perfect temperament to put a dog at ease, especially in a new environment. We got caught in the worst gridlock traffic coming home and she was so patient and accommodating despite our pickup being delayed. Cant say enough good things!”

“Stacey is fantastic with cats and I was comfortable from the start leaving my cats in her expert care. She is experienced with medication which was so important for my one cat who has started taking several medications. She sent daily photos and let me know how they were doing during each visit.”
“Cristina is really a friendly, smiley and very nice person that genuinely likes animals and pets. She will bring her good mood to your home and feed your cat, change the litter box, play with him or her, take photos and videos and will remain flexible in case you have additional demands or questions. I am very pleased that my cat Laba could get along so well with Cristina, so I know that next time I have to go somewhere I can contact Cristina again.”

“Abigail is simply amazing! My cat Hooksy is normally quite shy around people new to him. But he positively loved Abigail who fed and played with my supposedly shy boy on all of her visits. Abigail has my highest recommendation!”


“Yaqin was great with Fafa! It was too hot outside for a regular walk, so she adjusted the visit and found other ways to keep Fafa active and entertained. She even did some strength exercises with him and gave him plenty of enrichment and attention. I really appreciated how attentive she was and how well she adapted to Fafa’s needs. Would definitely book with her again!”


“Katrina was wonderful with my cat when I was out of town for over a week. During that time the a/c went and she alerted me and stayed while the repairman fixed it. I will definitely be having Katrina take care of my cat in the future.”


About: I grew up in a cat-loving household and currently have a 10 year old cat of my own, so I understand the needs of both kittens and more senior kitties. I have been a cat sitter for friends and family for two years now and I am experienced with feeding routines, playtime, and litter care. I respect each cat’s unique personality and will be patient and friendly to make sure your cat feels comfortable and safe while you are away. :)
“Christine did an excellent job watching my two cats while I was away for a long weekend. She was very attentive and responsive, with updates and photos each day!”


“Being my first time using Rover, I was a bit unsure, but Yasmine made the whole experience so easy and reassuring. She took such great care of my cat, Xavi, and kept me updated with messages and adorable photos. It was clear that Xavi felt comfortable with her, which put my mind at ease while I was away. Yasmine’s attention to detail and genuine love for animals really stood out. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my first time using Rover, and I’ll definitely trust her with Xavi again in the future!”

“This is our 2nd time using Jonathan. We had a vet emergency 1 hr before our flight, and he came to the vet office, picked up meds, and administered them while we were away. Incredibly kind and responsible person!”

“Megan always does an awesome job with all of our 5 cats and fish! She leaves us notes and pictures and lets us know how everything is going, which makes us feel very secure while we are away. Thanks Megan!”


“Sha did such a wonderful job with Doja (my cat). Lots of photos and updates and Doja seemed really happy! She does a wonderful job and really cares about the pets she watches”

“Michael was so amazing with my senior orange Ray Cat. What a wonderful job giving him his medicine 2 times and day, brushing, playing and treats. I always get worried because my boy can be a handle full at times, but Michael was such a amazing person for Ray Cat. Highly recommend and I feel so safe having him as Ray's sitter. Again thank you so much!”
“Great drop in! Hiral was very quick in responses and went out of her way to take videos and photos of my pet during her visit. Swiftly did all tasks and overall great experience.”

“Xingcheng (Connie) looked after my two boys, Bobby and Jack, for 14 days while I was traveling, and she is hands-down the most reliable and best cat sitter I have ever had! She connected with them instantly, played with them regularly, and sent me tons of daily pictures and videos. I always felt completely at ease knowing they were in such excellent care. She gave me regular updates on their food and kept the litter box spotlessly clean. Communication was fantastic throughout the entire stay, so I always knew exactly how they were doing. I will definitely book with Connie again and highly recommend her!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Deans

“At first I was nervous leaving my puppy with a sitter. Pam and her family is soo amazing. My dog loves going there and always has fun. Pam sends pictures,videos, and always answers questions I ask her throughout the day about my dog which I appreciate. I can trust to leave my dog with her and have peace of mind knowing that he is taken care of. Thank you soo much for all your kindness and love you give to my fur baby!”

“Thana and Subangi took wonderful care of my dog and sent lots of pictures, which made me feel completely at ease and showed how happy and comfortable my pup was. It was also clear that the other dogs in their care were friendly and well looked after. I have already happily booked again.”

“This was not only my first time with Julissa but my first time using Rover. Wow did she make an amazing impression! My puppy Luna loves her! She was very response and immediately replied to any questions I had, or If I was just checking in. She was timely having everything ready for drop off and pick up. She followed my instructions for a puppy that has stomach problems. Not to mention she sent pictures of my puppy throughout the day which was so thoughtful. I picked up a tired happy pup! Will definitely be using Julissa in the near future!”
“Whitney & Michael were fantastic even with changes to the booking and unforeseen circumstances with my work day. They were extremely accommodating, communicated well and were thoughtful/understanding. They sent photos of Isla and she had a great stay. I will book with them in the near future!”

“It was my first time to leave Maui with a sitter and I was anxious at first but Savi made it really smooth for both Maui and me! She handled the transition so well, Maui was comfortable right away and had a great time with her. I will definitely use Savi for future dog sitting needs for Maui.”

“Myah had a great time at Jamie's playing with Ollie! This was her first time and she was excited to be going when we pulled in the driveway. She came home very happy and tired!”

“One of my dogs is very timid. I appreciate how calm these three are, it has helped him get used to being in a 'stranger house'. Both dogs love having access to the backyard. Chandupa is very responsive to scheduling, I can usually get responses within 5-15 min.”

“Kate was fantastic. She very quickly answered my request and fit me in with just two hours notice. She was so loving with my dog, and she took pictures many times. And her two young children were simply wonderful, also. I could tell at the time, in the pictures, how happy they were making Frances. I will definitely ask her to work with Frances next time I come up.”

About: I grew up caring for my family's black labs my entire life. I currently own two beautiful baby Shih Tzus, Tony & Guiness with my beautiful girlfriend. They add so much joy to our lives and are a big part of our growing family. I invest a lot of time and effort into training them daily, to build trust and give them the best lives possible. Taking care of the animals in my life is a passion of mine, and I treat every pet like it's my own. I'm currently making pet care my full time job. After years of training athletes, I'm opting for a career that is rewarding in different ways. I'm available any time Monday through and occasionally a weekend if I'm around and if it's a good fit. My apartment complex has many areas to walk outside, with sidewalks and open grass areas where I walk my boys. There is also a spacious indoor dog park in the basement of my complex where I take them to play, especially on rainy days. We do training both indoors and on walks outside, individually and as a family. I also expose my dogs to as many experiences as possible, bringing them to community events, outdoor dining, and social gatherings. Our family does not believe in leaving pets home alone all day every day, and want to give them as much stimulation and social interaction as possible.
“Gerry is so sweet and takes great care of my pup! My dog comes home very happy after her time with Gerry. I am so thankful for the love and care she gives to my girl!”

“Megan went way above and beyond what was expected. She is a great communicator and I knew that my giant baby of a dog was in great hands so I was really able to enjoy my time. Megan was very pleasant and easy to deal with, I highly recommend her! A++++.”

“Ginnette is Wonderful!!! I am very cautious when it comes to the proper care of my 2 Boys (having some extra physical needs and diet requests.) We started with a meet & greet, and then a day care. Ginnette is everything I am looking for in a pet sitter–providing a calm, secure, safe and loving environment…she gained my trust very quickly. While worried they would be nervous in a new home, within an hour she sent me a picture of them super relaxed sleeping on her sofa. I sincerely appreciated the pics / updates I received during their stay…I know she took extra time to really get to know them. They were happy when I picked them up and Fozzie actually cried for Ginnette when she walked out of the room! I agree with another review that called her a “Dog Whisperer”! I am thrilled to have Ginnette care for the Boys for future stays!”

“My dog Happy had a happy day at Tao's home. He made friends with Rilley. Tao kept me updated with photos and videos. We're very happy with the service and will definitely go back.”

“Hon walked our sweet Maggie 3 times a week for over a month, while we adjusted to new work schedules. She loves him and he has always been a reliable, kind, and communicative walker for our family.

My dogs are on a raw diet which takes a lot of prep and care. They go on walks at night with me when I come home from work.
“Wow - I cannot thank Boryana enough for all of her patience and professionalism! She was the first dog walker we EVER hired for our dog. With two young kids and both working parents it was becoming increasingly difficult to take our dog out on all his needed walks. I must admit we were super nervous about getting someone else to walk our dog because he does not do well with strangers. Boryana made sure to take it step by step every day to the point that our dog got so comfortable with her and was looking forward to his walks with her! She was always punctual and very communicative. Thank you Boryana!!”

“Julia was great! From setting up a meet and greet, to excellent communication and amazing details on Rover cards post walks. Respectful and well mannered, letting her into my home to walk my dog while I was at work was a no brainer. He felt extra loved and was spoiled with extra treats (mom approved of course)! I would recommend Julia’s services to any and everyone!”

“Matthew was everything you could want in a dog walker! He was always on time, communicative, sent great pictures, and my dog loved him! You could tell from the photos what a great time they were having and he was very attentive during the meet and greet. They even ran into dogs he knew from walking when they were around the neighborhood. I will definitely book again and highly recommend!”

“Brianna was very kind to my dogs and made sure I came home to no accidents! With the warm weather we’ve been having she was kind enough to modify our walking routine to make sure the dogs were comfortable, has followed typical feeding schedules, and adjusted to my youngest dog’s needs through his medical issues. I am happy to recommend her as a reliable pet sitter for anyone in need”

About: My home was set up for an 80lb dog with a fenced in yard and areas around the house. Should be very comfortable for any dog. I’m very attentive to the pets, making sure their needs are met and that they are safe and sound. When I take on a job, my schedule is pretty cleared out for it since I’m a retired person. I can schedule my time around the care of your pet. I care for pets in my home by keeping an eye on them. Taking them out into the fenced yard and walking them twice a day. If they like to play fetch or tug I’ll do that with them too. I keep them fed, watered, exercised and rested.
“I couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter! Johnathan provided regular updates, including photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog was happy, wait for him , and got plenty of exercise and attention. It’s clear that Johnathan genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel comfortable.

About: I have over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for a 60 lb Labrador Retriever, whom I raised from puppyhood. During that time, I learned how to understand dog behavior, body language, exercise needs, and daily routines at every stage of life. I also have experience caring for cats and understand that every pet has its own unique personality. I take the time to build trust, whether a pet is playful, shy, or needs extra patience. Although I no longer have my Labrador, the experience gave me a strong foundation in responsible pet care. I treat every pet as if they were my own, following each owner’s instructions carefully to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m a faculty at Rutgers, and most of my teaching is online, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend a lot of time at home. This makes it easy for me to provide pets with regular attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I plan my schedule to ensure every pet in my care receives consistent supervision and the care they need. I live in a clean, pet-friendly two-bedroom apartment near downtown New Brunswick. I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable, and calm environment where they can relax and feel at home. I follow each pet’s regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s normal routine to help reduce stress. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and regular updates with photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe and well cared for.

She followed all our instructions and special requests and sent us video/pictures updates several times a day, so we were always informed and at ease during our vacation. We could not be happier with Bhavani’s services and will definitely use her again for our next trip out of town.”

“We were on vacation for a few days. We felt secure about our dog. I felt that our dog was left in good hands with Yvette. She was really wonderful and caring towards our dog. We really appreciate her handling of our dog during our vacation.”

“Melissa and Dan were absolutely wonderful with my dog, Princess Leia. She’s a small terrier and very much a COVID puppy, so she hasn’t had a lot of exposure to other dogs. I was a bit nervous about leaving her while I went out of town for my 50th high school reunion, but Melissa and Dan put me at ease right away. From the start, my plan was to have Leia stay with them for two nights, and I couldn’t have chosen a better place. They have a lovely fenced yard and several dogs of their own, which created the perfect environment for Leia to safely and gradually get used to being around other dogs. Dan works from home, so I knew she was getting plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. They kept me updated with several photos and messages showing how Leia was doing, which I really appreciated. It was clear that she was settling in well and getting comfortable in their home and with their dogs. When I picked her up, she was happy, relaxed, and seemed to have genuinely enjoyed her little “vacation.” I highly recommend Melissa and Dan for dog sitting. They truly love dogs, understand dog behavior, and provide a safe, caring, and engaging environment. I would not hesitate to book with them again.”

“By far this has been Jalisa has been my best sitter so far. She kept me up to date with my fur baby’s activities and took great care of my dog. So much so, that I nearly had to drag my baby out of there. I will definitely be back.”

“Wonderful first experience! This was our first time having Kavyashree take care of our dog, and we couldn’t have been happier. From the very beginning, she took the time to ask thoughtful questions about what he eats, his routine, and his typical behavior. It was clear that she genuinely wanted to understand him as an individual rather than simply follow a checklist. What meant the most to us was how well she understood that he was feeling a little sad and missing his owner. She was patient, caring, and attentive to his emotions, which gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. We felt that he was in truly loving and capable hands. We would absolutely trust her with him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who is attentive, compassionate, and genuinely cares about the pets she looks after.”


“Chandar and his family are like a second home and family to Ruth. They truly love dogs and care for Ruth as if she’s their own (she’s already had 3 stays with them). And Ruth loves them, too!! They are so good to her and spoil her with belly rubs and miles-long sunrise and sunset walks. Chandar sends professional grade photos of Ruth with beautiful, artistic, and often charming backdrops (e.g., a hot air balloon, Princeton campus, dog zodiac statute). Chandar’s family is so welcoming, warm, and kind and it’s always a pleasure to see them when we drop off or pick up Ruth. They have also been incredibly accommodating, welcoming Ruth on short notice or letting her stay late. So happy that we met them!”
