“Trista was great! She was a great communicator and provided amazing care for my pup! He looked so happy in the photos and videos and a fenced in yard is a big win for him! Would happily send my pup back to Trista again!”
“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.”

About: We are a loving and lively household where we will snuggle and play fetch with your pup, take them to the dog park, and keep them happy and occupied. My husband and I have a very active goldendoodle, Bell, who is 9 years old. Neither of us remember a time when there wasn't a dog in the house growing up! We know that we are taking on no small task when we agree to be responsible for your furry friend. We will follow your instructions to a T and we realize that every doggo is their own unique individual with their own unique needs. We are pros when it comes to high-energy dogs with a mind of their own! I am a full-time parent of three and we have a dog of our own whom we are home with all day. Staying active with our doodle is an integral part of our daily routine and we would love to have even more walks, games of fetch, and tricks + treats to look forward to! We LOVE to love on your pet! In our home you can expect a minimum of two 20-minute walks a day, plus more upon request and some leash time in our back yard if they like to hang out and observe the world. We are big proponents of fetch and chase.
“Samantha was amazing! Best Rover we’ve had yet. She sent us multiple pictures and updates every day. We have a St Bernard who can’t stay in the hot weather too long and she made sure to keep him in AC with lots of water. We also had an unexpected issue at the end of our trip, and she was able to take on our dog for two extra days which was a lifesaver. She even gave us tips for our dog after regarding some bumps on his body which was kind and helpful. We can’t wait to use her again!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, caring for pets has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. I have over 15 years of experience pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, giving me a strong foundation in providing safe, attentive, and affectionate care. From energetic pups needing extra playtime to gentle seniors who prefer a calm, steady routine, I’m comfortable adapting to whatever your pet needs to feel right at home. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will have company, attention, and potability breaks throughout the day rather than being left alone for long stretches. While I don’t have pets of my own, I live with my sister and her Great Pyrenees mix—a super friendly, easygoing dog who loves meeting both people and other animals. When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated just like family. You can count on frequent updates, photo check-ins, and plenty of belly rubs so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away! Because I work from home full-time, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine! Since I'm here throughout the day, guest pets are never left alone for long periods. Throughout the week, my flexible schedule allows me to easily accommodate feeding times, medication needs, and individual routines so your pet feels completely comfortable and cared for. In my home, your pet will be treated like a member of the family. Because I work from home full-time, guest pets enjoy constant supervision, regular potability breaks, and a relaxed, comfortable environment. We have a fenced in yard and a 4 year old Great Pyrenees mix. When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is maintaining their normal routine in the environment where they feel safest.
“We left our pup with Joe, Joanne, and family for a week. They provided us with frequent updates/pictures and gave Violet lots of love and snuggles. We would 100% use them again in the future.”
“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!”
“Marisol is excellent at taking care of my dog, Coco. She's reliable and accommodating, even on short notice. I really appreciate her help and would highly recommend her for pet care. You can count on Marisol anytime to take good care of your pet.”
“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.”
“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!”
About: I’ve owned my own dog for 17 years and have babysitted friends’ dogs and many other client’s dogs by word of mouth. I am experienced with senior care and comfortable with administering medication. Ever since I started working from home and my soul dog passing the rainbow bridge I found I have more love in my heart to share with any dog out there. I recently joined rover because I miss having a dog in my home, being able to cuddle a furry friend is something I have missed dearly. I am a fully remote worker and have availability to be with your pet the entire day. I don’t often leave my house except for errands or the gym. Since I only take one client family at a time you can be assured that your baby is getting all the attention they deserve. I have a partially fenced backyard and live on a quiet street with a park within walking distance. I’ll start the day before work with a morning walk, continue with any needed potty breaks throughout the day, and then finish up with an evening walk. If your dog enjoys being on the lap I’d love for them to join me on lap for my work from home schedule! Play time can happen in my backyard or the nearby park.
“Erinn was great! She was very quick to respond to all my messages and updated me every day with how things were going with Mochi. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“June and her husband we’re awesome. I have a dog with separation anxiety, constant crying when we leAve, and they made him feel so comfortable. They were incredibly accommodating with all his needs and kept us updated on how he was doing daily. I’ll definitely be requesting there services again if they will take us back.”
“Our Izzy is a bit of a problemed child. But after this overnight sleepover, it was clear that she felt very comfortable with Chris. He made the entire process very easy and we are very happy that we found a sitter that we can trust. A+++”
“Siram and Rekha are a blessings to my family. Caliber my Golden Doddle is my whole world and the minute I met Siram and Rekha we bonded and I feel comfortable I was leaving Caliber in the best care and his 2nd home. Caliber gets along well with Milo. As long as they would have Caliber when I need a second home Siram and Rekha is my only option. Thank you both.”
“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!”

“Jennifer was amazing! She watched our cat, Shrimp Toast, over the Thanksgiving holiday while we were out of town visiting family, and we felt SO at ease.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Dover
“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!”

“Kat was great! We recently moved to the area from a city and we were very nervous we weren’t going to find as good and reliable people on Rover but Kat proved us wrong! Nash loved staying at her house and was so excited to go back the next day! We hope to use Kat again in the future!”
“David was amazing. We had a last minute outing planned that wasn't pup friendly. The night before David responded within minutes and offered to help out for a full 12 hours. It was the first time we were leaving our pup with anyone and he graciously agreed to meeting him the same night. The day of David sent updates without any request and was understand with pick up time (we we're a little late due to some traffic). Our pup was happy and well taken care of.”
“This was the first time we used Rover so we were nervous to leave Smoke with a stranger. We were blown away by how well the day care went and will definitely be returning to June in the future. She set up a meet and greet which calmed our nerves and sent a nice compilation of photos and videos throughout the day. Smoke was playing and running and having a blast in every single one. She has a nice fenced in back yard for them to burn some energy and he slept the entire night when we got home. I would 10/10 recommend June to watch your fur babies! Not to mention, she is also extremely responsive and accommodating. Thank you so much!”

“Trista was a huge help in watching our two pointers for the day. One of them is very anxious, and Trista was able to get him to relax and to enjoy his time at her house. Trista is very professional and communication throughout the day was very easy. I would definitely rebook in the future.”

“This was my first time where my 13 month chocolate lab spent the day with Andres and she had the most amazing time. Andres was respectful, interactive, kind, and took great care of Maui. We look forward to meeting Shannon next week when we booked a second day where it will be a longer period of time. We were very pleased with our experience and would recommend Andres for caring of your loved dog. He followed as our actions when it came to walking, feeding and playfulness and the one main advantage we liked in their listing was that they had one on one time with Maui and he was extremely respectful of that. Thank you again for a wonderful sitting.”

About: With over 14 years of personal pet care experience, I bring a deep understanding of what it takes to keep dogs happy and thriving. For over a decade, I lovingly cared for my own dog through all stages of life, and I have spent years fostering dogs of various breeds, backgrounds, and temperaments. Fostering has taught me how to be incredibly patient, how to read canine body language, and how to help anxious or shy dogs feel safe in a new environment. I treat every guest with the same dedicated, individualized care I gave my own pets and fosters.🐾🐶 I currently work part-time, which gives me a very consistent and reliable daily routine. I am fully available every single day during the afternoon from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM, making me the perfect fit for midday potty breaks, walks, and playtime. I also have plenty of extra time in the evenings during the weekend for dinner feedings or cozy companionship! When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space and your furry family members with the same love, patience, and respect I would want for my own. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while you’re away, so I do my best to keep their usual routine consistent—including feeding times, walks, playtime, cuddles, and potty breaks—to help ease any stress or separation anxiety. I also make sure your home stays secure by keeping doors locked and ensuring pets are safely inside before I leave. Most importantly, I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, loved, and in caring hands! 🐕

“Mike walks Cali on a regular basis. Cali loves going on walks with Mike and is happy to see him. This particular walk was requested last minute. Mike was flexible and said he would help right away. He even asked if Cali needed to eat as well. It was a huge help and he is a fantastic dog walker!”

About: I have experience dropping in to feed cats and giving them the attention and love they want. I also grew up with a lot of friends with dogs, and I get along with their pets very well. I work part time in retail at two different stores, but they schedule me for only a few days a week and no more than 6 hours, so I have lots of time for your animals. I care for pets in my clients homes. I give them love and attention but I will also give space if they’re not up for play time.
About: I’ve had animals in my life for as long as I can remember—from fish and lizards to cats and dogs. My wife and I are proud cat parents to S’mores (who, despite my best efforts, isn’t too keen on training). I helped train both of my family dogs and still love visiting them at my parents’ house. After a busy year teaching high school, I’m looking forward to a summer with less talking and more time playing with pets. I’m happy to work on basic training or reinforce commands while you’re away—whatever helps keep your pet happy, safe, and loved! I am a full time school teacher so I have a great schedule with plenty of time for your furry friend! Available most days and times and willing to work on your pets schedule Comfortable handling all walking, litter box cleaning, feeding, and certain medications for your pet.

“Jessica was wonderful with Toffee! She took great care of my pup during our two days of walks, and her kind nature really shows. I’m very happy with her services and will definitely reach out to her again.”
About: I have over 6 years of experience caring for my own dog, as well as helping to take care of my cousin's dogs. I took care of them by feeding, walking, and giving them water. I also completed an internship at Rockaway Veterinary Hospital, where I gained hands-on experience with basic care and monitoring pets' health and behavior. I feel comfortable working with any animals as long as they aren't too aggressive. I loved working and being with animals since I was little, and in the future, I hope to work on a farm or as a vet. I'm going to college, and I'm available Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to care for your pets. Any time works for me before 8:00 pm. I usually take care of pets by taking them on walks, feeding them, and giving them water. The service I provide is going to the client's house and taking care of their pet. When pet sitting, I update the client by sending pictures and texting them about the pet's progress. In case of an emergency, I will take the pet to the vet.
About: I have been a veterinary technician for the last 19 years. I have spent the majority of that time working at a small animal practice, but also worked at an emergency and specialty practice for 4 years during that time as well. During my career, I have dealt with numerous c-sections, geriatric, diabetic, and renal patients. Meaning that, injections, SQ fluid, oral meds, etc, are not a problem.. I have also done pet sitting on the side for many years during this time as well. I have always had a love for animals. I currently own a 9 year old mixed breed dog, as well as a cat, and chinchilla. I have had many pocket pets over the years as well. I currently work full time, overnights only, on the front end of the week. I plan accordingly, to make sure the pets needs are met before and after work shift, and spoil them extra on the days I’m off. I adjust to whatever needs the pet requires, and make our schedules work in sync so that there are no issues with bathroom breaks, or feeding/medications.
About: I have prior experience with animals (my own and Clients) and currently work part-time at an animal hospital. I have experience with puppy care, large dogs, senior dog care, fast walkers and dogs who pull. I have a pet dog and 2 parakeets. I’ve always loved animals and want to provide great care! :) I currently work part time at a animal hospital and also part time as a student. My schedule is different daily but I can always find time to care for your pets! Caring for pets in a client's home involves ensuring their safety, comfort, and well-being while following any specific instructions provided by the owner. I am very big on communication and will contact owners about any concerns and follow any specific preferences or guidelines they provide.

About: As a future Physician Assistant (PA) and former aspiring veterinarian, I combine my love for animals with medical awareness, reliability, and a warm, bubbly personality! I recently graduated and became a certified Physician Assistant (PA)! I have off before the beginning of my job and have plenty time to watch and sit for families who need help with their animals. I can be of any assistance the pet owner requires! I can care for the animal and provide medications, etc, or simply play, feed, or walk them.
“Our Boston terrier absolutely LOVES Jaylynn! Going away for a week, we left our pup at home with a relative who couldn’t take him in regular walks, but Jaylynn came every day to tire him out. She was prompt, communicative, and flexible. 10/10 would recommend”
About: I offer personalized pet care with a focus on training puppies and providing attentive care for senior dogs. With years of experience training my own dogs and caring for my parents' elderly dog, I understand the unique needs of every pet, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve at every stage of life. I have experience taking care of fish as well! So if you have any fish tanks I will be more than happy to take care of them. I have a lot of free time as I just graduated college and I am taking a gap year before working to save up money to travel! . I don't make many plans during the week so will have lots of time before. I generally stay at home so having a new step in my routine this summer would be amazing! I will do my best to stick to the routine when taking care of your pet in your own home. I find it important to have consistency when it comes to pet care.
About: I've been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember—they've been a part of my life since the day I was born. Caring for dogs isn't just something I do, it's something I genuinely love. In addition to raising and caring for my own dogs, I've looked after dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away. My goal is to make your pup feel right at home by giving them plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and care tailored to their needs. Dogs have always seemed to gravitate toward me, and I love building trust with each one I meet. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers quiet cuddles, I'll make sure they feel happy, secure, and well cared for. My own dogs have always been my world, so I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust. I'll care for your dog as if they were my own and provide the same love, patience, and attention I'd want for my own furry family members. I am currently working full time (Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm) in Parsippany. I am available to care for your pet(s) early in the morning, lunch time, and after 5pm during the week, as well as all day Saturdays and Sundays. I live in a pet friendly apartment complex. I do not have a backyard of my own but there is plenty of outdoor space around. Unless you request otherwise, I have no problem with dogs on the furniture in my home. I will always care for your dog based on any requests you have, but I will always treat them as my own; handling them with love and providing the most safe and comfortable environment for them as possible.

We are pros when it comes to high-energy dogs with a mind of their own! I am a full-time parent of three and we have a dog of our own whom we are home with all day. Staying active with our doodle is an integral part of our daily routine and we would love to have even more walks, games of fetch, and tricks + treats to look forward to! We LOVE to love on your pet! In our home you can expect a minimum of two 20-minute walks a day, plus more upon request and some leash time in our back yard if they like to hang out and observe the world. We are big proponents of fetch and chase.
“Samantha was amazing! Best Rover we’ve had yet. She sent us multiple pictures and updates every day. We have a St Bernard who can’t stay in the hot weather too long and she made sure to keep him in AC with lots of water. We also had an unexpected issue at the end of our trip, and she was able to take on our dog for two extra days which was a lifesaver. She even gave us tips for our dog after regarding some bumps on his body which was kind and helpful. We can’t wait to use her again!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, caring for pets has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. I have over 15 years of experience pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, giving me a strong foundation in providing safe, attentive, and affectionate care. From energetic pups needing extra playtime to gentle seniors who prefer a calm, steady routine, I’m comfortable adapting to whatever your pet needs to feel right at home. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will have company, attention, and potability breaks throughout the day rather than being left alone for long stretches. While I don’t have pets of my own, I live with my sister and her Great Pyrenees mix—a super friendly, easygoing dog who loves meeting both people and other animals. When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated just like family. You can count on frequent updates, photo check-ins, and plenty of belly rubs so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away! Because I work from home full-time, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine! Since I'm here throughout the day, guest pets are never left alone for long periods. Throughout the week, my flexible schedule allows me to easily accommodate feeding times, medication needs, and individual routines so your pet feels completely comfortable and cared for. In my home, your pet will be treated like a member of the family. Because I work from home full-time, guest pets enjoy constant supervision, regular potability breaks, and a relaxed, comfortable environment. We have a fenced in yard and a 4 year old Great Pyrenees mix. When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is maintaining their normal routine in the environment where they feel safest.
“We left our pup with Joe, Joanne, and family for a week. They provided us with frequent updates/pictures and gave Violet lots of love and snuggles. We would 100% use them again in the future.”
“Marisol is excellent at taking care of my dog, Coco. She's reliable and accommodating, even on short notice. I really appreciate her help and would highly recommend her for pet care. You can count on Marisol anytime to take good care of your pet.”
“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.”
About: I’ve owned my own dog for 17 years and have babysitted friends’ dogs and many other client’s dogs by word of mouth. I am experienced with senior care and comfortable with administering medication. Ever since I started working from home and my soul dog passing the rainbow bridge I found I have more love in my heart to share with any dog out there. I recently joined rover because I miss having a dog in my home, being able to cuddle a furry friend is something I have missed dearly. I am a fully remote worker and have availability to be with your pet the entire day. I don’t often leave my house except for errands or the gym. Since I only take one client family at a time you can be assured that your baby is getting all the attention they deserve. I have a partially fenced backyard and live on a quiet street with a park within walking distance. I’ll start the day before work with a morning walk, continue with any needed potty breaks throughout the day, and then finish up with an evening walk. If your dog enjoys being on the lap I’d love for them to join me on lap for my work from home schedule! Play time can happen in my backyard or the nearby park.
“Erinn was great! She was very quick to respond to all my messages and updated me every day with how things were going with Mochi. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“June and her husband we’re awesome. I have a dog with separation anxiety, constant crying when we leAve, and they made him feel so comfortable. They were incredibly accommodating with all his needs and kept us updated on how he was doing daily. I’ll definitely be requesting there services again if they will take us back.”
“Our Izzy is a bit of a problemed child. But after this overnight sleepover, it was clear that she felt very comfortable with Chris. He made the entire process very easy and we are very happy that we found a sitter that we can trust. A+++”
“Siram and Rekha are a blessings to my family. Caliber my Golden Doddle is my whole world and the minute I met Siram and Rekha we bonded and I feel comfortable I was leaving Caliber in the best care and his 2nd home. Caliber gets along well with Milo. As long as they would have Caliber when I need a second home Siram and Rekha is my only option. Thank you both.”
“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!”
“I found her... a GENUINE. CARING. LOVING DOG SITTER! Diana is literally a one in a million gem. Not only did she very kindly accommodate my last minute request - She took such good care of my baby Koko and sent me so many pictures and videos. She was so good with Koko that koko wasn't "anxious" to see me or desperate to leave. Honestly... koko could have stayed with Diana and her family for much longer had the choice been hers lol. It alleviates so much stress when you KNOW your dog is truly so well taken care of and loved on when you're away. I had that feeling with Diana. You'll be SO LUCKY to have her as your sitter. All her dogs are so kind and sweet and well behaved. You wont regret having your dog stay with her.”
About: I’m your dog’s new best friend! I’ve been around dogs all shapes and sizes and ages ever since remember myself. In our family we treat every furry friend as if they were our own, providing a safe and loving environment that gives you total peace of mind while you are away I have listed my available days. I’m mostly home and my kids love pets and always helping, all of us are very house broken and mellow. Our dog is super friendly with everybody I have a fenced in decent size yard, and my dog to keep company. Pets are not allowed in the yard unsupervised though, safety first
“Paul does an amazing job with our dog. We can finally take time off with peace of mind that Prada is in great hands and getting great care while we’re away. Extremely pleased!”
“Audrey was very accommodating of our schedule and took excellent care of Dixon! She was very responsive and provided plenty of updates. We would definitely use her again to care for my dog!”
“If I could give Chelsea more than five stars, I absolutely would. From the moment I dropped Buffy off, I had complete peace of mind. Chelsea didn’t just take care of my dog, she welcomed her into her family. It was obvious from day one that Buffy was being loved and cared for as if she were their own. The regular photos and videos made an already stressful business trip so much easier, and it was heartwarming to see how attached her daughters became to Buffy (and vice versa!). What truly sets Chelsea apart, though, is how she handled an unexpected travel disaster on my end. My return flight was canceled, and what was supposed to be a two-day stay suddenly became longer. At a time when many people would simply say they couldn’t accommodate the change, Chelsea immediately started helping me find solutions. She offered multiple options, stayed incredibly flexible, and ultimately went above and beyond to make sure Buffy was safe and comfortable. The amount of trust, kindness, and genuine care she showed was something I’ll never forget. Throughout the entire experience, communicating with Chelsea felt less like talking to someone I had just met and more like talking to a close friend or family member who genuinely cared. As a dog parent, I honestly can’t ask for anything more. Chelsea, thank you for taking such wonderful care of Buffy and for helping me through what turned into a very stressful travel situation. I am deeply grateful, and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with you again. Buffy is lucky to have met you, and so am I.”
