“If “amazing dog sitter” could have an image for a definition it would be Maisha! I’ve left my baby with her many times now and I trust her very much with my fur baby. If you’re looking for someone or trying to switch to a new sitter, Maisha is your girl 🤍”
“Jenny was great, patience, kind and communicative. She sent pictures and replied to our messages. Most importantly she was sweet to our fearful dog Tessa and made her feel safe. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Andrew took great care of our senior Pitty Sommy, he immediately struck us as very friendly and felt like extended family throughout the whole process. His home is beautiful with a gated yard for plenty of space and grass for our Sommy. Andrew made sure to update us with photos throughout the stay, and made sure Sommy was well taken cared for. We will definitely book with Andrew again, without hesitation.”
“Darrin, Debra, and Emily cared for our most precious treasure Benjamin with much love, attention to detail, and dedication. We are very grateful for their professionalism, and for the good treatment that our English Bulldog received during this stay at their home. We recommend and will request your services again in the future.”
“Caroline and her family looked after Clover really well. He always looked happy in the videos and pictures that were sent; he especially looked happy playing with other dogs and also playing with her son. He is always happy to go into her house when I leave him off.”
“THE BEST dog sitters! Our pup stayed with them for only one night and we received many updates and pictures. Super responsive and kind! 100% would recommend!”
“It was my first time leaving my puppy for several days and Tamika was great! She sent me photos and kept me updated daily which was really important to me. I could really sense that she enjoyed taking care of her. I will definitely rebook in the future 😊”
“We had such a great experience with Yuberkis. She took wonderful care of our dog while we were away for 11 days. She is great with communication, asking questions, and sending updates. I knew my dog was in wonderful hands the entire time we were away! Thank you!!”
“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!”
“Amanda sent us lots of photos and had everything packed up and ready when we arrived to pick her up. Our girl seemed happy as can be in the photos and when we picked her up. Thanks Amanda!”
“Basil loved staying with Daisy and Phil! They took amazing care of our Basil, and sent us photos and updates on Basil daily. Basil gets (kind of a lot of) pills each morning, and they did a great job dealing with her specific special needs. Will be returning, thank you!”
“Teresa was absolutely wonderful, we are so grateful that we found her! We actually found her very last minute and she was wonderful, kind, super accommodating, and so wonderful to our dog! Her correspondence was great and we knew our dog was in the best care the whole time we were away! Highly recommend her, she is lovely!”
“Lindsey did an amazing job taking care of our girls while we were away! She kept us updated as needed & we got a lot of cute pictures. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing that our girls were in such a loving home. We would love to book her again!”
“We had a great experience with Manuel. And our dog Coco came back happy after staying in a good loving environment and good care of Manuel. I would highly recommend him.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Ivanna was amazing with my baby and provided reliable and professional dog boarding in the Union NJ area. She created a safe and caring environment and followed all of her care instructions perfectly. My baby felt comfortable and happy throughout the entire stay, and the frequent photo updates gave me so much peace of mind. She came home relaxed, well fed, and clearly loved. I highly recommend Ivanna to anyone looking for trustworthy overnight dog boarding or a caring pet sitter, and I will definitely book with her again.”
“Caitlin was absolutely wonderful! She was so loving and attentive with Xena and Doug and made us feel completely comfortable leaving them in her care. She sent frequent updates and photos, and it was clear how much love and attention she gave them throughout their stay. Our dogs clearly adored her and had the best time. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust Caitlin with them again!”

About: Hi, I’m Yari! I love cats and my goal is to project a calm and safe energy for your cat(s). My approach is to respect their space and boundaries and let them initiate interaction. I am looking forward to the day I get to have a cat of my own (currently have a senior pup) and meanwhile I am filling my cat battery by taking care of other people’s cats. 🩷 I have experience with both shy and demanding cats, ranging from young to senior. And the following coat colors: white, orange, gray, black, tuxedo, and tortoiseshell. I have cared for cats both in their homes and at my own. 💚 I will provide descriptions of drop-ins to let you know they are in good hands. 💛 Please feel free to ask me any questions :)
“Irisdelie was fantastic! She was able to break through to our shy cat and give her the care she needed. Her communication was great, even when we hit a few snags. Thanks so much, Irisdelie!”
“Lilian was absolutely amazing with our cat, Loki! She was kind, professional, and incredibly attentive to Loki’s routine and care while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Loki was in such loving and capable hands. We couldn’t recommend Lilian more highly!”

“Sadi is the absolute best. She really made our cat happy and paid attention to the small details. She went above and beyond to make sure that our cat was well taken care of during our vacation. If you want someone that is trustworthy and will care for your pet with love, Sadi is the one!!”
“Thomas was great! He is an excellent communicator and was great with my cats despite their frosty attitudes in the beginning. Will definitely be rebooking him. Thank you Thomas 🙏🏼”
“It has truly been a pleasure having Zoë as our cat sitter while we were on vacation. Zoë is very pleasant, thorough and thoughtful. She checked in every day with updates, suggestions that were greatly appreciated and even navigated minor challenges very professionally! I will definitely re-book in the future and highly recommend Zoë as a great caregiver! Thank you Zoë🫶🏽”
“Jade was so kind and patient with our cat Nutmeg, our feisty girl! Jade sent detailed updates, included pictures and videos; and most importantly, really developed a bond with our cat. Jade is responsive, professional in her communication, and easy to coordinate with. Highly recommend her for your pet!”
“Erin made home visits to my cats while I was away for 3 weeks. I had just moved and the cats were stressed. I hated to leave them but had to go be with my daughter after she gave birth. Erin made sure to find the really shy cat each visit and give him his food where he was if he wouldn't come out. (He was more timid than usual due to the move.) She took pics each day. She also took care of my dog in her home. I would use her again!”
About: Since birth, I grew up around all different kinds of animals. I’ve raised 3 beautiful pit bulls and lab mix while also having the opportunity to dog sit friends pets from Golden Retriever’s to Yorkies. I am currently going to school part-time so I have plenty of free time to watch over your pets! My schedule is very flexible and easy to work around. I have a fenced backyard as well as front yard.

“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!”
“Te was the absolute best! Communicated with me throughout the day and helped ease my worries as this was my dogs first visit. I appreciate her being able to take my dog last minute, extremely responsive and wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”
“Manuel is simply fabulous!! My dog is 12 and had an ACL tear and had surgery. I needed someone to watch him for the day about a week after surgery. My dog had a cone and a lick sleeve and we went for a Meet and Great with Manuel. He was so warm, professional and compassionate to my lil guy. My dog stayed with him a few days later and it was perfect. Manuel had to carry my dog up the steps and he was so gentle and loving. I highly recommend Manuel. You can’t get anyone better to take care of your furbaby!!”
“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: Although I’m new to Rover, I’ve always had a passion for caring for animals and understand the trust that comes with looking after someone’s pet. I’m committed to providing dependable care by following your pets routine, giving them plenty of attention and exercise, and keeping you updated with photos and messages throughout every visit. I work from home full-time so being able to provide busy pet parents with daycare will align with my schedule. I’m awake by 6am which will allow for you to drop off your pup before work, and I’ll be able to coordinate a curbside pick up with myself or my wife. I provide a service that reassures pet parents who are at work or in need of help on a busy day in my home. Your pet will be in a very calm and cozy environment and we will go on frequent walks throughout the day (as needed).
About: I have taken care of all types of pets for 7 years. I have been taking care of dogs for 2 years. I love all! I am available part time for dog care. Nights are more easier to accept due to my work schedule as a therapist. Let me know and I can work with you! I have a doggy park. I have cages if a dog wants a lone time from other dogs/pets. I have a balcony if it is raining for air and sun. I am available before 7 and after 4:30 usually for drop off on weekdays. I am flexible on weekends. We can accommodate times if told in advance. There is a fenced dog park across the street. The dogs slept separately all day besides during play time. We have cameras inside the house and outside the front door.

“Tammy was great with our Pup Macy!! She accepted her on short notice (thank you) & kept me updated on how Macy was doing throughout the day! Will definitely be using Tammy again ☺️”
“Thank you! Redd is good and tired. Kate and Kale were easy to work with and took Redd to the dog park to burn off energy. Redd came home very relaxed and loving as usual. We appreciate the extra effort taking him to the dog park because Redd can be very energetic and loves to run.”
“Jeanette was a great sitter for Mr Pickles! Great communication throughout while she cared for our pet, and very friendly and easy going. Her golden doodle was also great with our furry baby, she kept us up to date throughout the day with pictures and video, totally recommended :)”
“I am extremely satisfied with the service I received. Luna was taken care of, very well, and the communication (written/visually) was outstanding! I am very pleased with the attention, and we will be back soon! Thanks very much! We are both very happy Rovers.”
“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.”

“First time meet and greet. Moe was skiddish, as expected but warmed up to Daniel pretty quickly and let him take for a nice walk. Was on time, respectful, and courteous.”
“Chelsea was very accommodating to our schedule. The meet and greet was very worth it. She made sure my nervous dog was comfortable and followed instructions well. Would love to work with her again!”
About: Experienced pet sitter. My family and I have had dogs and cats as pets for over 25 years. We have also rescued stray cats and dogs. More recently, I lived with three dogs (all different breeds and sizes) for a year. I have some experience with training puppies and so I enjoy keeping up with any training/habits they have on walks, etc. I dont have any of my own fur babies as of now. But, I look forward to taking care of your pet as my own! I am currently working remote. I enjoy waking up early and taking them for a long walk. As my own rule, I avoid the dog park and any encounters with leashed/unleashed dogs. So, I will usually let them sniff on their walks or have leashed play time at the park. I have toys but I also enjoy doing indoor playtime. I also have no other pets in the apartment and I have a grassy area closeby. It's easy to walk around the neighborhood.
“Thomas is wonderful and won over my very shy dog quickly, was accommodating and wonderfully pleasant to work with. You’d be very lucky to have him as your dog helper when in need.”
“Sadi was great. My dog is very nice, but also has a lot of energy and can be tough to get used to in the beginning. Sadi was wonderful with my pup all weekend. Great updates and communication. Won’t hesitate to reach out for future help. Thanks Sadi.”

About: Hi! I’m an experienced pet caregiver with years of hands-on animal care experience, including working as a veterinary technician assistant and previous long-term work on Rover. I’ve been caring for pets since I was 12 and understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. My background in veterinary care has helped me become comfortable recognizing changes in behavior, noticing signs that something may be wrong, and providing attentive care for pets of all ages — from playful puppies and kittens to seniors who need a little extra patience. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-ins, daycare, boarding, or house sitting, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment where they feel loved while you’re away. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine, provide updates, and make sure you have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I do own a cat as well, but he is very good around other animals and is very sweet. I treat every pet like they’re my own and would love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! 🐶🐱 Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m able to dedicate my time and attention to providing consistent, reliable care. I enjoy having a flexible schedule that allows me to focus on each pet’s individual needs, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding routines, medication, or simply keeping them company. I’m able to be present, attentive, and make sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for while their family is away. I always try to make pet care feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible for both pets and their owners. When caring for pets in their home, I like to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible — sticking to their usual feeding schedule, walks, playtime, medications, and whatever little habits make them feel safe. For pets staying in my home, I provide a calm, clean environment where they can relax, get plenty of attention, and feel like part of the family. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, whether they’re outgoing and playful or more shy and need extra patience. My experience as a veterinary technician assistant has helped me feel confident caring for pets with different needs and recognizing when something may be off. My goal is always for your pet to feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
