“5/5 Stars — Absolutely Outstanding Care! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Caroline! She boarded my Miniature Schnauzer, Mikey, for a few days while I was away, and she truly exceeded every expectation. From day one, her friendly and welcoming nature put my mind completely at ease. She kept me updated throughout the stay with regular texts, pictures, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear right from the start how kind, loving, and attentive she is with animals. Honestly, I couldn't ask for anyone better. By the end of the experience, it felt like a family member had taken care of my dog. I will definitely be reaching out to Caroline again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-tier care for their pup!”
“Klainer was amazing with my tiny dog Moqui! She was so responsive, sent me so many updates and photos and was so kind. I have a very anxious dog and Klainer made sure to make her feel at home. Thank you so much!”
“This was the FIRST time I was able to leave my dogs anywhere and actually not worry or stress about how things may be going. Everything from the house space to the family, it’s all just perfect! And I’m extremely picky! So ya just a great experience in every way. I wish all sitters were like this one. Definitely recommend her and I would gladly pay even more than she charges. Totally worth the peace of mind. 10 stars!!”
“Vasiliki is amazing with Kira. My dog is a bit anxious but she loves Vasiliki and looks forward to staying with her all the time! She is super responsive and sends me frequent updates about Kira during her stay. Vasiliki was very accommodating of accepting Kira for a last minute request as well. Kind and responsible, will continue to have Vasiliki take care of Kira moving forward! 🙂”
“Let me start by saying this was my first time using Rover ever. Andrew was so helpful and reassuring and explained everything to me. Additionally, while I was away he kept me up to date with texts and pictures of Finn. Finn had a great time with Andrew and you can just tell Andrew knew exactly how to best care for my puppy. Thank you so much!!”
“Our dog Happy had a great stay with Brianna. It was the first time we ever boarded our dog, so we were nervous at first, but Brianna was very welcoming and our dog warmed up to her quickly. This was our quick test to make sure our dog (and we) could handle the separation for a short period of time, as a bridge to boarding her for a longer stretch of time. Our dog passed due to Brianna's hospitality, so we are much more comfortable boarding her for a longer stay with Brianna very soon! Thanks so much, Brianna and family!”
“My pup can be very anxious and Nicolle went above and beyond to make sure he was well taken care of. It took so much stress off my vacation planning and will definitely book again:)”
“My furbaby was comfortable with Keirstin. He spent a day with her before his 3 nights of boarding. He was quite excited to see her again to start his boarding for which I was pleased to see. While we were away, Keirstin sent us photos and updates and she was very responsive when I asked questions about his settling in her home. Thank you Keirstin.”
“Could not recommend Sanaz enough, she is communicative, charismatic and reasonably flexible about drop off and pick up. We have a big, high energy dog and he came home a tired boy!”
“Ayush was wonderful with our dog! He made sure he was comfortable in his house and that he got along with his dogs. Super communicative and sent us plenty of pics! Will definitely book with Ayush again!”

“Deliris was a great help! She took her time with my kitties and gave them some very needed interaction. She is a great communicator and never left me wondering about what was going on. I would definitely book her again!”
“We’ve booked with Irisdelie multiple times to care for our cats, Chai & Latte, and she is absolutely wonderful. She’s extremely attentive, very responsive with updates (our favorite to read while away), and it’s clear she truly cares about animals and takes pride in her work. Our cats adore her and we always feel completely at ease when they’re with her. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Nicolle was a wonderful sitter to my cat while I was out on a holiday. She took great care of her while also making sure my home was in a good state for my cat. She is very caring and so loving towards my cat. She played with her, brushed her, petted her. She also made sure all the details were taken care of. Will recommend her and take her services once again :)”

It’s clear she genuinely cares about Doudou and treats her with so much love and responsibility. I truly appreciate her dedication and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”

Jade is responsive, professional in her communication, and easy to coordinate with. Highly recommend her for your pet!”
“Molly is amazing! She’s been watching my cat ever since he was a kitten and I can tell he both recognizes her and is excited to see her!! Truly puts me at ease when I go away. Thank you Molly!!!”
“Tasnuva did a fantastic job on taking care of our cat and keep the place tidy and clean! She took care of our cat well that our cat doesn't seem stressed at all and moreover she was very happy 😊 I highly recommend her and she does the best!!”
“Kourtney took really good care of my cats, Gravy and George. It was really a comfort to know that such a nice person was checking on them while I was gone. Her check-ins were thorough and detailed and included photos.”
About: I’ve been a cat mom for 8 years, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your cat while you’re away. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and of course plenty of attention and affection! I have also done my fair share of administering medications. I know every cat has their own personality, so I’m patient with shy or cautious cats and happy to give them space to warm up at their own pace. I’ll treat your cat like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“Daniel was beyond responsible and responsive, although I was far away from home he made sure to inform me on each visit regarding status of my senior dog and cat. I know for sure who to contact in the future ! 10/10 overall service”
“Karollyne took great care of my cat Jellybean while I was away! Communication was quick and helpful and I will definitely consider booking her again in the future. Thank you!”
“Neide took such great care of CJ. It was my first time using Rover so I was nervous but she cared for my cat as if it were her own. She sent daily pictures and even a video.”
“Joni was a wonderful sitter for Tigger! She communicated well throughout the stay and took great care of him — including giving him his medication and gently comforting him when he was scared. The only minor hiccup was with the Rover card check-in timing (either forgetting or tapping a bit too early), but that’s a small thing. Overall, I’d highly recommend her and would definitely book again!”
“Katrina has always been great! This time she very kindly picked up our cat from the emergency vet at night and got him settled at home when we had logistics issues getting back from vacation. She made sure he was safe, gave us an update on his behavior, and made sure we got all the information we need from the vet. We’d recommend her to anyone!”

“This was the last daycare I had with Jennifer before my sweet elderly Xander passed. Xander had come to like Jennifer and over time, started to show excitement when he saw her. So this final rating was given by the dog. Xander had many medical needs and Jennifer accepted all of them. Xander passed yesterday and I contacted her to inform her and thank her. I didn't mention this but I was feeling regret about not checking the box asking for pictures all day long. SHE STARTED SENDING ME PICTURES. I"M CRYING BIG TEARS THANK YOU.”
“My dogs have been to Sonya's twice and they go with her happily and come home happy and well taken care of. Sonya is super responsive, keeps me updated throughout the day, and gives me a detailed report afterwards, which I appreciate. Highly recommend!”
“Jamin was great and accommodating at the last minute. He was definitely attentive to Yanni's needs and was helpful in getting him acclimated to a new environment. Hands down would book again”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 9 years, starting with my own dog and then helping care for pets in my family. Over the years, I’ve really grown to love spending time with dogs, whether we’re playing, hanging out, or giving them plenty of love and attention. At my home, dogs have a safe, big, green backyard with plenty of room to run and play, plus a large living area for indoor fun, relaxing, and belly rubs on those rainy days. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, happy, comfortable, and right at home! I can take care of dogs most days, as I am usually at home taking care of my own dog. I am usually always available. My home offers up a big backyard for your dogs to run around and play in. The living room is also spacious, so dogs can play around in their if it gets too hot out.
About: As a devoted dog enthusiast, I have accumulated over two decades of expertise in pet care and have been a dog owner for 25 years. My two English cocker spaniels hold a special place in my heart, making them my absolute world, alongside my spaniel before my current two that I had for 17 years, who passed away in 2019. Spaniels hold a special place in my heart. As a remote worker with a highly flexible schedule, I am able to be present with the puppies and dogs regardless of whether it is a weekend or a weekday. Residing in a two-story townhouse, I do not have a backyard, but I do have three balconies. Additionally, there is a park located nearby. I also have two English cocker spaniels, who are siblings, named Parker and Riley. They are friendly and calm after the initial few minutes. Parker and Riley are both six years old, and my husband and I ensure their well-being by keeping them well-groomed. We consistently monitor their eyes, perform regular teeth brushing, and ensure that their paws and nails are in optimal condition.

I have long lasting experience taking care of dogs, more than 10 years. I can take walk dogs after 3 pm every day. I am a teacher, and I currently work every morning until 3 pm. I would walk dogs after 3:30 pm to make my day full. I would follow any direction the pet owner gives me. I would make sure the pet is comfortable and most of all I would keep everybody and everything safe.
“Andrew is top rated for a reason! Totally worth the cost. He’s got a great space perfect for a dog to free roam and family all committed to the care of your little one. Professional, accommodating, attentive, and great with updates / communication. New to the area and was nervous leaving my little one with a new care giver for an extended period for work travel. Andrew gave me tons of peace of mind. Definitely recommend!”
About: I have cared for other people's dogs--roommates, friends, neighbors--since childhood, many decades! I've lived with cats, dogs and birds. I said goodbye to my rescue Westie of almost 17 years during 2025, and I’m not ready for another long-term pet commitment yet. I puppy trained her (with trainer) from 4 months and provided senior care for the last few years. I am very patient when meeting new animal souls, allowing them to come to me when they’re ready. I have been taking shelter dogs on Afternoon Adventures and have been successful with helping to train dogs in my care. I am working part time and have a flexible schedule, and now that I'm pet-less, I am available, even on short notice. I have been going on walks/hikes in our beautiful parks (over 2 miles) and would prefer some four-legged company. I am very good at following your instructions, respectful of routines and choices you make, and sensitive to furry companions' needs. I'll send you lots of pics! I will board low-maintenance/energy pets in my home, not puppies or kittens.
“Doug was great with Molly! She had such a fun time and was totally tired out from her day. He was very friendly and provided updates throughout. He was very flexible with timing as well. We would definitely use him again in the future.”
About: Since the age of 15, I’ve been caring for my neighbors’ dogs, building a lifelong passion for animals. Over the years, I’ve worked in several professional pet care facilities, gaining invaluable experience. However, I realized I wanted to provide the same level of personalized care I’d expect for my own pets. That’s why I decided to set out on my own, offering compassionate, tailored care for every furry friend I meet. I currently have an open schedule and can accommodate most requests. I only will take one owners pets at a time in my home so please keep this in mind if you need boarding services. I have a large fenced yard with 3 sides blocked by buildings giving dogs a safe secure place to exercise and relax. I also live near Branchbrook park for longer walks. When taking care of pets in your home my goal is be as non intrusive and respectful as possible. I'm happy to follow any requested procedures to ensure your full comfort.

“Jade is an excellent and very caring animal lover who goes above and beyond to make sure our mini poodle, Ruthie is taken care of. She is trustworthy, reliable and kind. We highly recommend her!”
“Marli has been taking our dog on weekly walks for several months and she has house-sat for us on multiple occasions as well. She has been absolutely wonderful to work with since Day 1. She is quick to respond, always prompt, and most importantly, our dog really enjoys spending time with her. We have a large dog that has medical needs and she can sometimes be difficult when getting to know new people. Marli demonstrated tremendous patience and kindness with her and she was able to gain her trust as a result. We are incredibly grateful for that. We would HIGHLY recommend Marli to anyone looking for a kind, passionate, and highly communicative caretaker for their pet. Thanks Marli :)”

“My dog Rosie, is a big, very strong and high energy Great Dane. Steve does a great job walking her, allowing her to explore and have fun while keeping her under safe control as well. Rosie loves her walks with Steve and even gets excited when she sees his car coming down our street ! Rosie and I will definitely be calling Steve again!”
About: I always take into account the priorities of the pet owner to ensure that I give the best care to their pets. I want to provide the best care for them so I ask detailed questions. That way the pets are getting the best care possible! I am currently in grad school full time and not working, so this will be my only other priority. I can be flexible as long as I have a day's worth of notice I ask detailed questions in order to ensure that I take care of the pets as per the owner's request. That way both of us are on the same page.
About: Hi, I’m Jun! I’ve cared for pets from quick drop-in visits to living in a friend’s home for over a year as a “temporary cat mom.” I treat every pet like my own—keeping their routine exactly the same, making sure they feel safe and loved, and sending lots of updates so you never feel far away. I’m experienced with cats (including vet visits, meds, and emergencies) and have also cared for dogs with feeding and walks. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch or long walks in the park, your pets will get my full attention, gentle care, and plenty of affection while you’re away. 🐾 I’m a hybrid-working designer, so I can fit in weekday visits for pets I already know well. For new furry friends, I like to start on weekends—this way, they have more time and space to feel comfortable with me, and I can get to know their personality at a relaxed pace. I’ve found this makes our first meeting happier and less stressful for everyone. I'm always happy to discuss you and your pet's unique needs in advance! and I provide only the level of care and attention that I would want for my own pets. I live in a spacious apartment by my own in Jersey City. I can also go to client’s home to visit daily if the cat preferred to be at his/ her own home.
“I could see on the camera that Levi immediately loved her! She asked a lot of questions, which I love, to ensure that we were on the same page and overall was just great!”
“Nima did a fantastic job walking our Oli and I highly recommend her. She is punctual, professional, and extremely loving to all of our pets! Nima was also flexible with scheduling and willing to accommodate our (Oli’s) needs when we needed to modify the booking. She was also extremely patient when our Oli was being stubborn on walks or potty breaks, which we greatly appreciated, especially the photos of their walks when he was serving serious diva face! 😂 We will definitely be utilizing her services again in the future and cannot recommend her enough!”

My services *House sitting (Dogs and Cats): I specialize in staying right at your home so your pets can stick to their familiar schedule, reduce stress, and receive overnight companionship. *Drop-in visits: Perfect for quick check-ins, feeding,playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of cuddles while you're away. *Dog walking: Reliable, active walks to keep them healthy, happy and exercised.
“Karollyne was so great with my two fur babies. She is reliable and with my busy schedule and last minute changes her afternoon schedule was always flexible with mine. She took such great care of my babies and anyone looking for a sitter will be lucky to have her.”
About: Hi, I’m Aria! I’m a JC local who enjoys taking care and showing love to all animals. My love for animals started back when I volunteered to dog walk and help find dogs and cats a home at a shelter back in Charleston, SC. Since then, I’ve been taking care of my family, friends, and neighbors fur babies. When people thank me, I thank them back because petting any fur baby gives me all the dopamine I need. I’ll only confirm a dog-walk and dog sitting shift if I’m working from home and can guarantee I can be present with your fur baby •Affection (dogs love company that make them feel comfortable and loved). I’m always sure to make them feel seen and cared for. It can be tough on them being away from their caregiver. So affection goes a long way. •Making sure they’re fed & hydrated (always attending them according to their usual/specific routine).
About: Since the age of 15, I’ve been caring for my neighbors’ dogs, building a lifelong passion for animals. Over the years, I’ve worked in several professional pet care facilities, gaining invaluable experience. However, I realized I wanted to provide the same level of personalized care I’d expect for my own pets. That’s why I decided to set out on my own, offering compassionate, tailored care for every furry friend I meet. I currently have an open schedule and can accommodate most requests. I only will take one owners pets at a time in my home so please keep this in mind if you need boarding services. I have a large fenced yard with 3 sides blocked by buildings giving dogs a safe secure place to exercise and relax. I also live near Branchbrook park for longer walks. When taking care of pets in your home my goal is be as non intrusive and respectful as possible. I'm happy to follow any requested procedures to ensure your full comfort.

“I honestly can’t recommend Justine enough. From even before I booked with Rover, she was incredibly communicative, transparent, and kind. We were in contact for weeks before Max’s stay, and she took the time to answer all of my questions and make me feel completely comfortable. As a first-time Rover user, that meant so much to me. While I was away in Mexico, I never had to wonder how Max was doing. Justine sent regular updates with photos and videos, and it was obvious from every update that she genuinely cared about him. She didn’t just watch him—she spent time with him, played with him, and gave him so much love and attention. It was clear he wasn’t just another pet to her. When I picked Max up, he was happy, relaxed, well-fed, and acted like he’d been home the whole time. That’s probably the biggest compliment I can give. I could tell he felt safe and cared for every single day he was with her. On top of that, I accidentally left some of Max’s belongings at her house, and she even took the time to drive them back to me. That level of thoughtfulness really says everything about the kind of person she is. This was my first experience using Rover, and because of Justine, it couldn’t have gone better. She exceeded every expectation I had, and I would trust her with Max again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much, Justine!”
“Jennifer is so great with Brioche. She is kind and patient and takes the best pictures, letting me know Brioche loves being in her care. Brioche is a tough dog, due to his special needs but Jennifer is someone id trust him with 10x over. Thank you!”
“Ivette was amazing with Linnie! I got lots of pictures, and am happy Linnie had a cozy home with new friends while I was away. Definitely booking with them again!”
“Karollyne was great with Bizzle. She was kind and understanding and really managed to build trust with Bizzle in a short period of time. Bizzle is a senior dog and just needs gentle care and understanding which Karollyne did a great job! Highly recommended.”
“This was the FIRST time I was able to leave my dogs anywhere and actually not worry or stress about how things may be going. Everything from the house space to the family, it’s all just perfect! And I’m extremely picky! So ya just a great experience in every way. I wish all sitters were like this one. Definitely recommend her and I would gladly pay even more than she charges. Totally worth the peace of mind. 10 stars!!”
“Orso had a wonderful time with Caitlin and Georgia! Usually when we pick him up from a sitter he jumps right into our car but this time he tried to go back in with Caitlin. She took exceptional care of him, ensuring he got exercise, was well fed, brushed, played and stayed cool. We feel very comfortable knowing our boy will be in good hands when we go away later this summer!”
“Vasiliki is amazing with Kira. My dog is a bit anxious but she loves Vasiliki and looks forward to staying with her all the time! She is super responsive and sends me frequent updates about Kira during her stay. Vasiliki was very accommodating of accepting Kira for a last minute request as well. Kind and responsible, will continue to have Vasiliki take care of Kira moving forward! 🙂”
“Shirley was such a great sitter for our dog Leo! He can be high energy and she took him on walks, played with him, and kept us updated with many pictures. She was also very responsive and flexible with us when our plans changed last minute. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Michael is great! He’s very responsive, flexible, and kind. Our dog absolutely loves him and his wife. He ran into their apartment building after we dropped him off, without even looking back!”
“Let me start by saying this was my first time using Rover ever. Andrew was so helpful and reassuring and explained everything to me. Additionally, while I was away he kept me up to date with texts and pictures of Finn. Finn had a great time with Andrew and you can just tell Andrew knew exactly how to best care for my puppy. Thank you so much!!”
“My pup can be very anxious and Nicolle went above and beyond to make sure he was well taken care of. It took so much stress off my vacation planning and will definitely book again:)”
“Kaitlyn and Josh have been absolutely fantastic! ✨ As a bonded pair (as Kaitlyn has in their profile :)), they bring double the care and love to your furry companions. We contacted them on short notice, and they were incredibly accommodating and attentive throughout the entire process. Their kindness and communication made all the difference. Loha was so comfy and happy with them! We couldn't be happier with our experience and are thrilled to have found such reliable sitters. We highly recommend Kaitlyn and Josh for anyone seeking a loving home for their furry friends. We will definitely be reaching out to them again in the future! 🐾❤️”
“My furbaby was comfortable with Keirstin. He spent a day with her before his 3 nights of boarding. He was quite excited to see her again to start his boarding for which I was pleased to see. While we were away, Keirstin sent us photos and updates and she was very responsive when I asked questions about his settling in her home. Thank you Keirstin.”
“Heather and her family were so sweet with my Buzz! I’ve had the same dog sitter for years, so I was nervous when I suddenly needed to find someone new. From the start, they were incredibly kind, caring, and attentive with him, which gave me so much peace of mind and allowed me to truly enjoy my trip. They also have an amazing backyard where Buzz could run around, play, and make himself at home. I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. I highly recommend Heather and will absolutely be using her again!”
“Ayush was wonderful with our dog! He made sure he was comfortable in his house and that he got along with his dogs. Super communicative and sent us plenty of pics! Will definitely book with Ayush again!”
