“Gargi & Sourav have been absolutely amazing. One of our furry kids was a bit nervous as I was dropping them off, so we were a bit nervous for them, but they have completely put out worries aside. The provided frequent daily updates on how our dogs were doing, brining up any questions or concerns along the way. Our dogs also really got along with their pets as well which made us happy that our dogs are also making friends. The dog park being right next to their apartment building is also a massive plus that helps with both social and energy levels of our dogs. They had a great stay and we as the owners had a relaxing worry free time. Would definitely book them again.”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was a teenager. My own, family and friends. I feed them, walk them, bathe them, and even hand feed them if necessary. I work hybrid and I can care for pets Monday to Saturday from 8 to 6 pm for now. I can do some weekends if arrangements are made in advance. My backyard is fenced, we have plenty of indoor space for the pet to use and I can crate your pet if have them accustomed to it. We have a central air conditioning for those hot days.
“Janise and her family took the absolute BEST care of my Daisy! From the moment she arrived, I knew she was in the best hands. Daisy had so much fun that she didn’t even want to leave! She especially loved spending time with Frankie, their incredibly sweet and gentle Bernedoodle, and I know Daisy will miss him so much! I also can’t thank Janise and her family enough for being so accommodating when I unexpectedly needed to add an extra day of boarding at the last minute. They were incredibly kind and flexible, and throughout the entire stay, day and night, I knew Daisy was safe, happy, loved, and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better family to care for my girl. I’m so grateful and would recommend Janise and her family to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their fur baby! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Amarys was amazing with my dog, Diamond! She took such great care of her, played with her, took her on lots of walks, and kept me updated throughout the stay with plenty of photos. It was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable Diamond was. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches, and Diamond absolutely loved her. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. We’ll definitely be booking with Amarys again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Christina and her husband, Nick, were fantastic with our Stella girl. We hired them to watch her during our wedding and also bring Stella over to the church so she could be included in portraits. They were so accommodating and good to her and us, and even provided regular updates and photos to let us know how Stella was doing. We were a little nervous about everything because Stella doesn't warm easily or quickly to strangers. But Christina and Nick did so great with her and Stella seemed very well taken care of. We already have friends asking for their info and would 100% use them again in the future.”
“Amanda was an amazing caregiver for our dog! She kept us updated with plenty of photos and regular check-ins, which gave us so much peace of mind during our vacation. It was clear from the start that she truly loves and cares for animals—just like she does for her own cat and family. We never had to worry for a second, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!”
“We were worried about boarding our dog with the sitter for the first time. Kinjal was kind and let us visit to check and introduce our dog 3 days beforehand. This meeting cleared all the doubts. Kinjal has natural abilities to understand dogs, she projects come energy that instilled calm in our dog. The pictures and videos confirmed that our dog was happy there. When we came back for pickup, our dog was following her and wasn't interested in going home. We definitely will use her service again in the future. Thank you, Kinjal.”
“We left our little girl Violet, a very loved 5 yo Lhasa Apso, in the care of Sandra and San this past weekend. From the moment Sandra and I met, I could see how loving and caring she was for her own adorable pup, Penny. We did a meet and greet and Violet and Penny got along beautifully! We knew Violet would be in good hands. Throughout the weekend, we received pictures and we could see just how comfortable and happy Violet was! When it was pickup time, all her belongings were together and packed for home. We felt comfortable, confident and excited to find a place we can trust for Violet when she can’t be with us! We highly recommend Sandra and San! Your pups will thank you for it too!”
“We had such a great experience with Suzie. She took amazing care of our dog, Buzzy, while we were away. From the start, communication was clear and reassuring. She sent updates and photos about how he was doing, which really put us at ease. We’re so grateful to have found someone so trustworthy and caring. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter.”
“I was a bit skeptical using Rover, and a bit nervous to leave Dilon. Paloma explained the process and was very helpful. I loved that Dilon stayed in good hands and I was able to have peace of mind. Paloma kept me informed of Dilon’s day to day, she would answer promptly to the messages and would also send pictures regularly. Thank you again for taking good care of Dilon.”
“Xunzi took my 2 cats at the drop of a hat! I booked the night before I needed them out of the house for a chemical treatment there after a fire. She did not just take care of them, but also paid attention to their psychological well-being, inviting us to visit them and slowly introduced them to her pets. She played with them and showered them with treats and food, replacing the inadequate one I had brought. A gem!”
“Frances took great care of our dog. She works from home so he got a week of full attention. She communicated frequently with pictures and updates. Very nice person and animal lover.”
“Ivette boarded our senior dog Sailor who was struggling with many health issues. Throughout his time with Ivette we received regular and detailed updates. It was obvious that she cared about his well being and did everything she could to make him comfortable. She has a lot of experience with dogs and catered to his needs in a lot of ways. Have no doubt that your pet will be in good hands!”
“Jessica was absolutely wonderful with Georgia and all of her quirks. From the moment we met her, it was clear she genuinely cared about Georgia’s happiness and well-being. She took Georgia on lots of adventures, kept her active and engaged, and even spoiled her with treats and bones purchased out of her own pocket. Jessica truly went above and beyond throughout the stay. She was attentive, communicative, and always happy to provide updates whenever I asked. Knowing Georgia was in such caring hands gave me complete peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jessica again, and I’m confident Georgia would be thrilled to stay with her in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Paola took excellent care of our little dog for a week while we were on vacation . She communicated daily with us and provided photos. Our dog was treated like part of her family. Jazzie came home happy and healthy! Will definitely book with Paola again!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for many different pets. Growing up, I helped raise two family dogs and cats so I’m comfortable with both indoor pets and larger animals. For 13 years I was the proud mom to my Shih Tzu, Bruno, who taught me just how much love, patience, and daily care go into being a great pet parent. Though he recently passed🙏, the experience of caring for him still shapes how I look after every animal in my care. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or just making sure they’re comfortable and happy while you’re away, I’m here to give them the kind of care you’d want for them. I currently work remotely so I am able to give your pet all the attention they deserve and need. I can leave any time for walks and vet appointments. I’m a responsible and attentive caregiver who takes pet safety seriously. With years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and adapting to each pet’s individual needs.
“Binny and her husband were amazing! They took such great care of our dog during our week away, keeping us updated with photos and ensuring our pup felt right at home. We came back to a happy, well-cared-for dog. Highly recommend their services!”
“Maisha provides exceptional care for dogs. My dog, Asia, absolutely loves her, and I always feel confident knowing that Asia is in a safe, loving, and nurturing environment when she is with Maisha. Her genuine care, attention, and dedication give me complete peace of mind. I highly recommend Maisha to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog caregiver.”
“My dog absolutely loves going to Ryan & Jefra ‘s! The moment we pull up, his tail starts wagging like crazy because he knows he’s about to have the best time. They treat him like part of their family — he gets tons of love, attention, and playtime. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such caring hands. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter! Highly recommend!”

“Jinghong was absolutely amazing and took great care of my kitty! I came back to a very clean apartment and a very happy cat. I couldn’t be happier with her service!”
“Last week was the first time I had Andrew watch my two boys and boy am I happy that I picked him…and so are the boys! Andrew did a wonder job! He spent extra time with my cats and sent detailed updates with pics every day. He made me very secure in the knowledge that my boys were being well cared for. I look forward to having Andrew take care of my boys in the future!”
“Victoria is a fantastic pet sitter. She cared for my two senior cats over two visits. One of my cats is blind and requires daily medications and eye drops, but Victoria helped me feel at ease while I was traveling. Victoria handled his care routine with such patience and attentiveness, and it was clear she took the time to make sure he was comfortable and stress-free. Her detailed Rover cards after each visit were so reassuring, and she sent plenty of photos so I could see for myself that both cats were happy and in good hands. Senior cats can come with extra needs and a little more complexity, and Victoria didn't miss a beat. If you have older pets or animals with special requirements, I would highly recommend Victoria. We'll definitely be booking again.”
About: I’ve had animals all my life including cats, dogs, and I had a rabbit once. I’ve helped take care of sick dogs and cats, and have taken care of puppies and kittens.

I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while sticking to their normal routine as much as possible. I’m happy to follow any feeding, walking, medication, playtime, or bedtime instructions you provide. I also keep a close eye on their behavior and make sure their space stays clean and comfortable.

About: I have always felt a strong connection to animals. I believe our pets are just as important as any other family member. I grew up with dogs and now have a puppy that I share with my partner who is quite truly our child. One of my recent clients said, "Rachel, you see animals as if they are little children, with personalities, feelings and emotions. I've never come across anyone that is as intuitive with them as you are". I'm that girl who will stop you in the middle of the street to pet your pup just because he or she looked at me. I want to give them as much love as I possibly can. My patience is my biggest asset and skill as a pet parent, sitter and dog walker. I want to give your pup the same attention as I give my own. I sit for both puppies, kitties and senior animals. I'm experienced with special care needs such as medication management or any other special care your animal may require. When I'm caring for your your pet(s) they becomes my family and I give them the gentle care and loyal love they deserve. PS. Our beloved Rocco passed over the rainbow bridge in early June. We are in the process of adopting another puppy. As a freelancer, I often have a flexible schedule and am happy to come up with a schedule that works for us both - weather you are looking for regular care or are simply taking a trip for the weekend and need someone to look after your fuzzball. I am able to provide sitting services at your home, walking sessions, drop-in visits or play dates. I live with my partner and am able to care for your pup in our home or in yours, the choice is yours. My partner is allergic to cats, so although, I am not able to board them in my home unfortunately. But, I am more than happy to board them in your home, drop by for a cuddle, play time, in home stay. I love going on walks and can play with your pets to make sure they stay happy and mentally enriched. I can also brush your pets hair for you, bathe them as well as give massages.
“Maryann understands cat behavior, and was patient with my shy boy. Even though he hid most of the time, she took the time to see if he'd trust her, and kept me updated on his eating and drinking so I'd know he was ok. I look forward to booking Maryann again when I need a cat carer.”
“We couldn’t be happier with Ruth! My husband and I went away on a long vacation, and knowing that Duchess and Gordo were in her hands gave us so much peace of mind. From the very beginning, she made us feel completely comfortable and reassured. She was always punctual, and after every visit she sent us the sweetest pictures and detailed updates about how our babies were doing. It honestly made our day to see them happy and relaxed while we were so far away. She spent time playing with them, giving them attention, and keeping them company, and we could tell that she genuinely cared about them. Coming home to two happy, well-cared-for cats meant so much to us. We’re incredibly grateful to Ruth for taking such wonderful care of Duchess and Gordo, and we would absolutely trust her with them again. We highly, highly recommend her! ❤️”
“Anna has been watching my puppy a few times a week since she was about 4 months old and my puppy always has the best time. Anna is very thorough and follows all of my instructions regarding my dog’s care. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Rivera provided the best care for my two cats! We never left home this long period of the time and concerned a lot about cats especially they are very shy. Rivera had patience and well understanding on cats so both of my cats ended up showing/playing with her. It was a big surprise for us to see my cats liked cuddling with her since they never even showed up when other people visits. Not only the social part with cats, also she wrote very detail cards on every visits with plenty pictures so I could relief. She was very responsive as well! We are happy with Rivera's care and would love to ask help again next time! Thank you!”

“Geoff provided amazing and attentive care for our 4 1/2 yo cat while we were away for 6 days. She was alone for the first time since we brought her home from the shelter 6 months ago and we were concerned about her getting lonely. He did a great job of earning her trust and keeping us informed along the way. We returned home to a healthy and well adjusted cat. Thank you, Geoff!”
“Caitlin took great care of my 2 cats for a week! She was on time, followed their instructions well, and sent nice summaries. One of my cats is very skittish and she came out to eat and hang out when Caitlin was there. Caitlin spent solid time with them which is very appreciated. Thank you for the peace of mind!!”

We completely trust her with Kuku and are so grateful to have found her. Highly recommend her for your four-legged loved ones! She’s amazing!”

About: I am an army veteran that has spent his recent years caring for dogs both of owners and strays and have loved the experience. Pets provide a joy and fulfillment that I can find nowhere else. I believe that pets deserve more than just responsible attention and a loving home, they deserve to be treated with utmost dignity and should also have a learning experience in the process. I have become well versed in training of dogs and would be more than happy to either review or even instill basic training skills. Pets and dogs in particular have become a necessary factor of my own personal happiness. It would be my honor and privilege to be able to provide a special care for a special little friend.

About: I've loved animals my whole life and have been around cats in one way or another for most of my life. I grew up with multiple cats and I've been taking care of my cat Cole since adopting her in 2018 as a kitten. I've been volunteering at a cat shelter for several years as a socializer and love visiting as many cats as I can when I'm there (I always stay longer than my shift). I love them dearly, always want what's best for them, and would treat your cat with the same care concern I'd treat for my own. I'd be happy to provide drop-in visits for feedings/etc or to provide your cat with some play/social time! I love meeting new cats and taking in their unique quirks! While I've had a lot more exposure to felines, I've spent time and cared for several dogs as well and would gladly care for yours while you are away. I've had a lot of good experiences with them - I’m good pals with my landlady's pitbull and my dad’s chocolate lab! I’ll give your dog lots of attention and be mindful of their personality, especially during walks. I’ve had some anxious ones that can get a bit testy when they see other dogs during walks and I’ve handled them well. I'm between jobs at the moment, so I am fairly flexible in terms of availability with some notice. Sunday is my day for volunteering, though I can swap my shift if need be to provide your pet with the care it needs. I'm happy to arrange for shorter/longer visits on single/recurring basis. Can assist with feedings, playtime or just hang out and provide them a loving lap! Also happy to provide photo/video updates of your fur babies to help put your mind(s) at ease!
“This was my first time using Rover or any dog walking service, let alone have anyone aside from myself, dad, or brother take care of my pup. And I have ZERO regrets. My dad was supposed to stay with my dog for the long weekend I was away, but last minute he couldn’t and I needed a plan B. I came to Rover to see if I could find a solution and I did- Peter! My pup is very lovable but also not easy, and many are too scared or just don’t want to deal with him. Because of that, I wanted to do a meet and greet first, which Peter happily agreed to. After just one visit, I knew that not only could he handle my dog and he would be well-taken care of, but knew they both were about to become buds. I was able to go away and not have any worries, especially since Peter gave very thorough recaps of his visits and pictures. Needless to say, my heart and mind were put at ease and I can’t think him enough for that. I will definitely be utilizing his services in the future and I know Thor will not mind at all.”
About: Open, adaptable daytime schedule that allows for prompt visits without rushing through routine care. Prompt, detailed updates after every walk or drop in, so you know exactly how your pet is doing while you're away. As a student with an extremely flexible and light class schedule, pet care is my primary focus. I’m available throughout most of the day for midday dog walks, routine drop in visits, and last minute requests. Because I am not tied to a traditional 9-to-5 job, I can match your dog or cat’s exact schedule for feeding, exercise, and playtime without rushing I provide attentive, reliable care right in your pet's safe environment. For drop in visits, I handle all feeding, fresh water, litter box or yard cleanup, and plenty of undivided attention. For dog walking, I tailor the pace and route to your dog's energy level, making sure they get safe exercise and mental stimulation. I always double check locked doors, secure leashes, and send detailed photo updates before I leave so you have complete peace of mind.

About: Hello!! I’m Zainab, an owner of 2 silly cats and I would love to take care of your furry loved one! Spending time with pets genuinely makes me happy and it shows in the type of care I give them. Finding the appropriate pet care is just as stressful as finding the right care for your human child. A few of my qualities like being patient, reliable, and responsible can help ease your mind especially when you are far away from your pet. I will always stay in touch and give regular check-ins with a photo of your pet so you can see how they are doing. Yours and your pets comfort is my priority.

I try my best to keep up with your pets same schedule and routine so they do not feel lonely or stressed without their human their. And of course there will be extra attention and play time going around.
About: My journey with caring for pets finally began in my undergraduate career at Rutgers University. Previously, I had helped to care for my aunts pets and took care of my own until we had to give him away. My favorite thing about taking care of your favorite family member is how I can see them adapt to a new environment and warm up to me. It’s beautiful to know that we can all connect w animals in an intimate way. I have a park right next to my house and a wooded area & fenced field where they can run around freely. Making sure they are having a good time and are healthy is my main priority. Dog loving is what I was made for.
About: I’ve been working in a doggy daycare in New Jersey for the past 5 years. I bathe, feed, play, & care for dogs. I also had a furry friend for 15 years, and I continue to honor her life by caring for other dogs. I am passionate about animals and love spending time with them. I’ve worked with dogs as little as 4 months old to 18 years old. I’ve also worked with dogs of all kind. I am currently working part time at a doggy daycare in the mornings or afternoons, depending on the day. I can care for your pets before and after work, or all day on days I do not work. I can provide treats and bowls for water and your pup’s preferred food. I live in an apartment that is pet friendly and safe for them.
“Enis is wonderful and we couldn’t have hoped for a better dog walker. We made a last minute request to seek Enis’ service for Biggie Smalls, our 1-year-old, 76lb Tree Walker hound. Enis squeezed us in his busy schedule & upon arrival, Biggie loved him instantly! During the walk, Enis sent us photos -worthy enough to post on IG. It hasn’t been easy finding someone who isn’t intimidated by Biggies size & piercing howl. Best surprise when Enis returned Biggie —exhausted!! We were shocked as Biggie is HIGH energy. A treat for us, as we work long 12hr shifts at the hospital & needed the rest. Above all, Enis is reliable, professional, respectful, and a good communicator. Highly recommend Enis!”

“Gargi & Sourav have been absolutely amazing. One of our furry kids was a bit nervous as I was dropping them off, so we were a bit nervous for them, but they have completely put out worries aside. The provided frequent daily updates on how our dogs were doing, brining up any questions or concerns along the way. Our dogs also really got along with their pets as well which made us happy that our dogs are also making friends. The dog park being right next to their apartment building is also a massive plus that helps with both social and energy levels of our dogs. They had a great stay and we as the owners had a relaxing worry free time. Would definitely book them again.”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was a teenager. My own, family and friends. I feed them, walk them, bathe them, and even hand feed them if necessary. I work hybrid and I can care for pets Monday to Saturday from 8 to 6 pm for now. I can do some weekends if arrangements are made in advance. My backyard is fenced, we have plenty of indoor space for the pet to use and I can crate your pet if have them accustomed to it. We have a central air conditioning for those hot days.
“Christina and her husband, Nick, were fantastic with our Stella girl. We hired them to watch her during our wedding and also bring Stella over to the church so she could be included in portraits. They were so accommodating and good to her and us, and even provided regular updates and photos to let us know how Stella was doing. We were a little nervous about everything because Stella doesn't warm easily or quickly to strangers. But Christina and Nick did so great with her and Stella seemed very well taken care of. We already have friends asking for their info and would 100% use them again in the future.”
“Amarys was amazing with my dog, Diamond! She took such great care of her, played with her, took her on lots of walks, and kept me updated throughout the stay with plenty of photos. It was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable Diamond was. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches, and Diamond absolutely loved her. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. We’ll definitely be booking with Amarys again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“We were worried about boarding our dog with the sitter for the first time. Kinjal was kind and let us visit to check and introduce our dog 3 days beforehand. This meeting cleared all the doubts. Kinjal has natural abilities to understand dogs, she projects come energy that instilled calm in our dog. The pictures and videos confirmed that our dog was happy there. When we came back for pickup, our dog was following her and wasn't interested in going home. We definitely will use her service again in the future. Thank you, Kinjal.”
“Amanda was an amazing caregiver for our dog! She kept us updated with plenty of photos and regular check-ins, which gave us so much peace of mind during our vacation. It was clear from the start that she truly loves and cares for animals—just like she does for her own cat and family. We never had to worry for a second, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!”
“Xunzi took my 2 cats at the drop of a hat! I booked the night before I needed them out of the house for a chemical treatment there after a fire. She did not just take care of them, but also paid attention to their psychological well-being, inviting us to visit them and slowly introduced them to her pets. She played with them and showered them with treats and food, replacing the inadequate one I had brought. A gem!”
“I was a bit skeptical using Rover, and a bit nervous to leave Dilon. Paloma explained the process and was very helpful. I loved that Dilon stayed in good hands and I was able to have peace of mind. Paloma kept me informed of Dilon’s day to day, she would answer promptly to the messages and would also send pictures regularly. Thank you again for taking good care of Dilon.”
“Ivette boarded our senior dog Sailor who was struggling with many health issues. Throughout his time with Ivette we received regular and detailed updates. It was obvious that she cared about his well being and did everything she could to make him comfortable. She has a lot of experience with dogs and catered to his needs in a lot of ways. Have no doubt that your pet will be in good hands!”
“Jessica was absolutely wonderful with Georgia and all of her quirks. From the moment we met her, it was clear she genuinely cared about Georgia’s happiness and well-being. She took Georgia on lots of adventures, kept her active and engaged, and even spoiled her with treats and bones purchased out of her own pocket. Jessica truly went above and beyond throughout the stay. She was attentive, communicative, and always happy to provide updates whenever I asked. Knowing Georgia was in such caring hands gave me complete peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jessica again, and I’m confident Georgia would be thrilled to stay with her in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Sarah is amazing - we needed a last minute booking on a holiday weekend, she responded quickly and made sure to ask all the right questions to be prepared for whatever our pup needed. When we brought him for drop off, he took to her immediately! Sarah sent pictures and updates each day that made us feel so much better while being away. You could tell it was a vacation for him as well. Overall a great experience and would absolutely recommend Sarah!”

They treat him like part of their family — he gets tons of love, attention, and playtime. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such caring hands. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter! Highly recommend!”

“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.”
“Karla was incredible!!! This was our first time leaving our puppy with a dog sitter so we were super nervous but Karla was so friendly and reassured us constantly. She sent us tons of photos and kept us up to date on how he was doing. Our puppy is a little shy but he took to Karla super fast when they first met! He had tons of play time and made so many friends! He was so happy running around in the yard and we could tell he was having a wonderful time! Thank you so much Karla for making this such a great and positive experience for us :) we will be booking with you when we go traveling again for sure :) many many thanks !!!”
“Experienced dog family! Took great care of our big boy! Sent lots of updates and pictures. I have a big boy who loves to spend the days outside and their fenced in yard gave him lots of room to explore! They are real dog people and I felt 100% confident my dog was in good hands!”
“Claudia was great! I left my 4 month old puppy Finn with her and she took amazing care of her. I received daily if not more frequent photos and videos of Finn playing with Claudia's Golden Doodle and other dogs. Claudia was easy to communicate with and always responsive to any questions I had. Throughout Finn's stay, I always felt she was in good hands.”
