We’d absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them!”

“Julissa was awesome! She truly treated my dog like he was her own. She kept in contact with me daily with updates and pictures and videos, which I very much appreciated. She spent time with my dog, taking him for a walks, to play at the dog park, and out on adventures, which was very good for him and helped with socializing him.

Would definitely recommend her as a dogsitter.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Lucas & Katherine! Our Vizsla, Rudy was welcomed into Lucas & Katherine’s lovely home like family and he received so much love and attention from these dog lovers while we were away.

We highly recommend Lucas & Katherine to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy dog sitter!”

“We kept our 2 and half years old Maltese with Lisa for 2 nights when we had to go out of town for a wedding and couldn't take our pup Bisou along. It was the first time that Bisou had to spend at a stranger's home. I was sad and worried to leave him behind. But after picking him up, within 2 days I re-booked Lisa for 3 nights in September. I don't need to write detail review. Because, "Action speaks louder than words". ☺”

“Stacia was amazing with my puppy Zoey. She is super patient, loving, and kind. Zoey had so much fun and enjoyed her time. Stacia is very knowledgeable with dogs and is very friendly.

Richie is reliable, and stays in communication by sending me photos and texts on each visit. Ensured Pepper was fed, had plenty of water, gave treats, and allergy medication. It gives us peace of mind that Pepper is well taken care of while we are away. Also, Richie brought in our mail and packages. If you're looking for someone to care for your furry family member, consider Richie.”

About: I’ve had cats for years and absolutely love getting to know their different personalities. I’m very familiar with cat behavior and body language, and I know when a cat wants attention, wants to play, or simply wants to be left alone! I’m also big on enrichment and training. I’ve taught my own cats to sit, shake hands, and even fetch. I understand that cats can be very particular about their routines, food, litter boxes, and personal space, so I’ll always follow your instructions and let your cat warm up to me at their own pace.
“Courtney does an outstanding job of looking after Benny when we are away. Communication is great and she is professional and trustworthy. We have booked her several times since finding her..”

About: Boarding Services- dogs 0 to 20 pounds. I grew up in a household that always had multiple dogs and was actively involved in their care, including feeding, bathing, walking, and providing plenty of love and attention. I have been caring for dogs for over 25 years and has always been a natural part of my life. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your loved family member. I work part-time remotely, which means your pet will get tons of cuddles, playtime, and supervision throughout the day! I may occasionally step out for short errands, but I am never away for more than a couple of hours at a time. Your pet will always receive attentive, loving care in a safe environment. • ☀️ Morning Routine (7:00 AM - 9:00 AM): We kickstart the day with a refreshing morning walk to stretch those legs and take care of business. This is followed by breakfast, fresh water, and any morning medications your pup requires. • 🎾 Midday & Afternoon (12:00 AM - 2:00 PM): Afternoon potty break and mental stimulation-just as important as physical exercise! We spend this time also playing fetch in a secure area and playing with puzzle toys/snuffle mat. Afterward, they get plenty of time to lounge, nap, and relax. • 🌇 Early Evening (5:00 PM - 7:00 PM): It's time for another potty break and dinner. If your dog has high energy, this is a great time for a longer evening walk or a trip to a local, nearby park if permitted. • 🌙 Wind Down (8:00 PM - 9:00 PM): We wrap up the day with a final short walk before bedtime. Then, it's quality cuddle and belly rub time on the couch before lights out! I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving home environment where your dog will receive personalized attention and care. My goal is to have your pet feel happy and secure, whether they are in their home or mine. I have been a pet owner my entire life and have been relied upon by friends, family, and neighbors for pet care for the past 25 years. My practical, hands-on experience has taught me patience, reliability, and how to anticipate a pet's needs and comfort levels. I’m comfortable with various breeds and temperaments and committed to upholding the highest standard of care.

“Jessica was great! I had a last min booking with her and she was super flexible with it all. She took great care of my dog and took her on many walks. She sent many photos of my dog playing with her dog and they were the best of friends. Thanks for caring for my pup! Looking forward to the next rebook!”

“Bhavani was wonderful with Kylo. He immediately took to her and her whole family. She sent photos and videos, so I knew Kylo was happy and having fun! Can’t wait to rebook doggy daycare!”

“Armani had a great time during his sit as he came back energetic and super playful! They also provided constant updates which I absolutely loved. They definitely took care of my puppy, so I highly recommend!”

“Bonnie was the absolute best! Very last minute accommodating and provided plenty of updates with pictures and text. She kept really good care of my dog! Would highly recommend.”

“This was Oreo’s second day here and it was just as amazing as the first. He is almost 12, very particular about people, and not the easiest dog to win over — so the fact that he was excited to go back says everything. As chaotic as our day was, it was such a huge relief knowing he was happy, comfortable, and in such good hands. Jackie’s flexibility, kindness, and obvious love for dogs really stood out. It is not easy to find someone you fully trust with your dog, especially one with a picky personality, but this truly feels like a safe, loving, and comfortable home for him. We are so grateful to have found Jackie and will absolutely continue to book again (already have) 😉”


About: What sets my sister and me apart is the personal care and communication we provide. We understand that every pet has their own personality, habits, and needs, so we carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, sleeping arrangements, and any special preferences. We have a spacious yard for supervised outdoor time and aim to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets can feel at home while their family is away. We treat every pet as if they were part of our own family and give them individualized attention. We also know how important peace of mind is for pet parents. During every stay, we provide regular photos and videos and keep communication open so you can see how your pet is doing. Our goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable, confident, and stress-free from drop-off to pickup. My sister and I work together to provide reliable and attentive care for every pet we welcome. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be present throughout the day for walks, meals, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection. My sister also helps with pet care, so between the two of us, pets receive lots of attention and companionship. We make pet care a natural part of our daily routine and always try to keep each pet as close to their normal schedule as possible. Whether your pet loves long walks, backyard playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing nearby, we make sure they feel comfortable, included, and cared for. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your pet's routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medication (if needed), exercise, and any special instructions. I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment, supervise pets at all times, and provide regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I take the time to build trust with each pet, allowing them to adjust at their own pace and using positive reinforcement to help them feel safe and comfortable.
About: I’m a stay at home mom with too many years experience caring for dogs and puppies to count! Our home is a dog’s dream vacation. We have a friendly dog who loves company, two small kids who adore playing with pups, and a spacious fenced in yard perfect for romping around. Your dog won’t just be looked after—they’ll be part of our family while you’re away. I am a stay at home mom of two elementary school kids , so my schedule is pretty flexible and gives me time to show your sweet pups all the attention and love they need. I have a spacious fenced in yard where your pups can run around and play in. It’s my goal to make your dog feel as loved and safe as they do at home.

“Elizabeth was so great with my 9mo old puppy! She sent me pictures throughout his first day and updates. I felt so comfortable knowing that he is good hands while I am at work; and knowing that he was having the time of his life at Day Care. I will definitely have my puppy coming back.”

About: Hi, we are Ramon and Margarita. We have been dog parents for many years and will care for your fur baby like our own as they will immediately be part of our family. We have also been foster dog parents and have successfully transitioned countless fur babies in need to their forever homes. If you are new to Rover, use our code MARGAG38540, to get $20 OFF your first booking. We both work from home so we will be with your pet 24/7. We will provide your fur baby with a warm, comfortable and friendly home. We have a super friendly ‘foster fail’ lab that’s 4 years old. Ruby is taken out for her walks to the park 3x a day and will add your pet to this regimen if they enjoy the outdoors and being active.
“Lina is really comfortable at Lisa's house. She especially likes being around the resident pets. She's slowly learning to trust and play (former puppy mill momma). Lina is in great hands with Lisa and her family. They are awesome.”


About: I’ve been walking dogs since 2010 and honestly, animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with dogs, cats, and even birds, so I’m very comfortable around different animals and personalities. After being around pets for so long, I’ve gotten pretty good at reading their behavior and body language — sometimes even their facial expressions! I can usually tell when they’re nervous, excited, uncomfortable, or just want some space. I’m also very patient with animals and love teaching them new things. I’ve trained my own cats to sit, shake hands, and even fetch (yes, cats can fetch!). Every pet is different, so I always try to get to know them and follow their normal routine rather than expecting them to adjust to me. I work remotely every day and have a pretty flexible schedule, so your pet will have plenty of company throughout the day! I’m home most of the time and can easily accommodate walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, or just some extra attention and cuddles. Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods while staying with me. I have 3 cats of my own, but boarding cats will have their own separate space and will not need to interact with my cats. I only accept cats from one household at a time, so your cat(s) will get plenty of individual attention and won’t be around unfamiliar boarding pets. We live in a 2-bedroom apartment with no balcony or direct outdoor access, and I’m very careful about doors and escape prevention. Crating is completely up to you and what your cat is comfortable with — I’m happy to follow their normal routine. I’ve also volunteered at a cattery and have experience giving oral medications and providing basic medication-related care. Just let me know your cat’s routine, personality, and any special instructions, and I’ll follow them closely.
“Erika was very responsive and flexible. She took good care of Peppercorn and kept us updated by the app with detailed updates and tracking of his drinking/eating/toileting schedule. She was very flexible with allowing us to change hours / dates when our schedule changed. Would recommend Erika!”

“I was visiting from out of town and needed someone trustworthy to watch my dog, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. My dog came home happy, and completely tired out from all the fun and attention she received. Stephanie and her family were very welcoming, and their dog was friendly, very calm and got along great with mine. I would absolutely use them again the next time I’m in town and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, loving dog care.”

“Megan & Nick were absolutely stellar dog sitters. They answered all my questions and accommodated a rushed request for both the booking and a meet and greet. They were extremely communicative throughout the whole process and put a new dog dad at ease. I would remiss to leave out the lovable Bubba, who was a most gracious host, sharing his toys and his space. He and Rigby were fast friends. The whole family was lovely, clearly dog lovers. Looking forward to booking with them again soon!”

About: What sets me apart is the extra care, attention, space, and experiences I provide for every dog in my home. I want your pet to feel like they are on a little vacation of their own, not being watched, but genuinely cared for, loved, and included. They may not even miss you (just kidding). I’m patient and reassuring with anxious dogs, gentle and attentive with senior pets, and consistent with puppies who are still learning. I carefully follow feeding, medication, potty, and walking routines as provided by their owners, while reinforcing basic manners and positive behaviors when appropriate. Most importantly, I treat every dog as an individual. Some pups want to play all day, while others are happiest curled up beside you. I respect those differences and make sure each dog receives the attention, exercise, rest, and affection they need to feel comfortable. While you’re away, you can expect frequent updates, photos, and honest communication so you never feel out of the loop. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel safe, happy, loved, and right at home—and for you to have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m able to provide consistent, dependable care throughout the week. I work Monday through Friday as a teacher, with weekends, holidays, and breaks off. My workdays are not long, which allows me to spend plenty of time with the dogs in my care. I leave home around 8:45 AM, giving me time each morning to take your pet for a walk, provide breakfast, and enjoy some early playtime and attention before I head to work. I’m typically home by 4:00 PM, and on some days I’m home as early as 1:00 PM, giving me even more time for walks, play, potty breaks, cuddles, and one-on-one care. I also make every effort to maintain the schedule your dog is used to at home. Keeping familiar feeding, walking, potty, rest, and play routines can make a big difference in helping a dog feel comfortable and relaxed in a new environment. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving home where every dog can feel at ease. I have a dedicated guest room where your pet can truly make themselves at home. I set it up with their bed, food, bowls, toys, and anything else they need. They have free roam of the room and can enjoy their favorite toys and ropes while relaxing or playing. During the day, they are welcome to join me throughout the rest of my home and become part of my daily routine. At night or whenever they want some quiet time, they can retreat to their own comfortable space. I follow your pet’s usual feeding, walking, potty, and rest schedule as closely as possible to keep their stay stress-free. I also have baby gates available for safe separation when needed. My goal is simple: your dog should feel like they are home, just in a new home for a little while.

“Vanessa has a great place, very suitable for doggies : Vanessa her family did a great job with our little furry baby girl. She keeps us informed with pictures/ videos and messages . Thank you so much again Vanessa”

About: We lost our 13 yr old american bulldog / hound mix and while mom (Lisa) isn't ready to have a new FT family member just yet, my son and I would be so excited to have fun with and love your pet as our own while you are away. We have a fenced-in back yard, lots of toys and a comfy dog bed - though of course you are welcome to bring your own gear, if it makes your pet feel more comfortable and at home. Typically only board 1 family at a time. Because our schedules can vary, we’re only able to accept boarding requests 2-3 months in advance. We appreciate your understanding! I am self-employed and work from home so am available to give your pet all the attention it deserves, take for walks and potty breaks as needed.

“Elaine has been amazing with our dog, Jax! He’s usually pretty shy, but he warmed up to her so quickly. It’s clear she really understands dogs and takes her time to make them feel comfortable. She’s reliable, kind, and clearly loves what she does. We’re so glad we found her!”

About: I have been taking care and pet sitting all kinds of pets and animals since I was 16 years old. I have worked in dog daycares and boarding facilities for around 3 years. I have been trained in dog behavior, temperament, and care. I have a lot of experience with providing dogs and other pets with the proper care they deserve. I love all kinds of animals and want to provide the best care for your pets. I am currently not working so I have lots of available time to provide visits and care for your pets. I am more available during the daytime but can do evening visits as well. I cannot provide care in my own home but I am very open and willing to provide care in my clients home. I love and care about routines so any routine your pet needs to follow I will be able to provide that in my clients home.

“Julissa was awesome. I need a last minute emergency dog walker since I broke my foot. Julissa showed up on time for each walk. She brought treats, toys, and bags. My dog Sarah really enjoyed her walks with Julissa. I will definitely be using Julissa again in the future. I highly recommend Julissa.”

“Diana was so great & Roamie felt so comfortable with her. If I were a local she would be a top pick for sure! Great energy, great communication, great with my little Ro!”

About: I’ve taken care of multiple different breads throughout the years. Since the age of 10. Neighbors, family, and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets I’m currently a Full time student at Union County College. My schedule is free anytime after 12pm on the weekdays and during the weekends I can board. I have a fenced yard and two little siblings who love to give pets affection. If I’m at a clients home, I will always keeps an eye on their pet to ensure their needs are met and of course to make sure they’re safe.
About: I've been caring for small pets such as, Hamsters, Guinea-pigs and Fish (from goldfish, etc. to Oscars,etc.) from a very young age. Therein, for example, when I was still a little girl, my friend and neighbor could no longer care for their beloved, hamster, Andy; who did they think of... me ! So, Andy, the hamster was adopted and added to the fold. Next, Cats and Dogs. When my neighbor found a stray cat had given birth in their shed closet, again, who did they call?! I adopted one of the 3 kittens; adopting their sibling from the same liter soon after the first adoptee, was unable to care for it. I began caring for Angel and Geisha, my first two cats. Last but not least, Dogs... Cream was a white Pittie, whose owner, again, became unable to care for her so she lived with me and my 2 year old daughter at the time, and they loved each other dearly. After, finding Cream a permanent home, I had the honor of caring for other dogs for friends and neighbors even the homeless, from which I cared for Lulu, a pittie, living with her owner on the street. However, she received a healthy diet, vet care and patience, training to reverse some of the habits she developed living on the street. Now, although, I've cared for others such as Bamboo, the Pitbull, that seemed to take care of himself, lol and Karma, who needed a foster during the Covid pandemic; I'm entrusted with the care of my Pittie/German-Sheppard Gran-pet baby, Nasir aka Nas, while my daughter's in college. Nice enough, I still get to switch it up and care for the Cats (and small pets) of various friends and neighbors in my community. With that, I try o create a Pet-care Staycation like atmosphere when boarding or Home care while pet-parents are away and a Family like atmosphere for Fosters. I look forward to meeting your furry friends and four legged family members :) Pet care is not only therapeutic, it fits into my schedule perfectly, since I am a semi-retired administrative professional who suffered an untimely stroke at a young age. However. after an almost miraculous recovery, I'd like to move forward in a direction that nurtures my empathetic personality. Therein, leaving the desk behind, affording me with a more active lifestyle, all year round. As to that, my days generally consist of assisting my daughter with her dog, exercise, personal errands and volunteering a few hours a week. Although, I take pet care jobs occasionally, I'd like to "officially"extend my services to do something I love (I believe I'm good at it.) and rewarding because the pets (my clients) always seem to appreciate it. I have a fenced in yard and super friendly and silly, one year old fur gran-baby that would be happy to show a visiting canine "the ropes", lol. I can also crate and/or crate train your dog(s), when necessary. They will always have access to clean water; be walked consistently and fed on time and kept in a clean an organized space, whether at your home or mine. I make sure to follow pet parents care instructions. I send photos or video of fun moments to give insight as to how your pets are doing and cared for. I play, pet and communicate with each pet in their way to build trust, friendship and joy while their pet parents are away. In addition, I have had some dog training in the recent past and will have more dog training in the near future to help me care for our hairy pals compassionately and efficiently. [NOTE to Drop-in Clients: Please understand, Safety is a concern for Everyone; pet care givers, pet parents and pets. I work on a basis of professional Trust between all parties, including the pet party. All I can offer are my Referrals, my Word as a trusted professional and a background check conducted by Rover. I expect the same appropriate professionalism, trustworthiness and mutual respect from those who accept my Services. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.] I look forward to working with you. ;-)

“Vanessa was a pleasure to work with. Our dog, Gretel, loved her. She took her on multiple walks a day for us and Gretel was so excited to see her each time. She was super easy to work with and made scheduling so easy. Highly recommend her and would book again in a second.”

About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages through my volunteer work at HFGDR. I truly enjoy tailoring my care to each dog's specific needs, whether that means high-energy playtime or providing gentle, patient companionship for senior dogs. I am fully available all summer long to provide dedicated care for your pets! With my wide-open summer schedule, I have plenty of time to offer consistent attention, extra playtime, and personalized care. Whether your pet needs long walks, drop-in visits, or boarding, I am ready to accommodate your needs throughout the entire season. I provide a safe, loving environment for all pets. I am also happy to provide drop-in care at your home, ensuring your pets feel secure and maintain their normal routine while you are away.
About: I have either owned or taken care of dogs since I was very young. I began dog sitting around 10 years ago. I can come to your home or do in home visits. I have taken care of dogs of all sizes from Cane Corsos to Bassett Hounds and many more. I currently work remotely and am home during the day. That gives me a lot of extra time especially to care for my animals as well as others. I have a separate room for cats to stay in that has a screen door. They can see out but not get out as well as my cats can see in but not get in. I also have a "privacy gate" so they cannot see eachother.
“I don’t believe I could have found a better daily walker for my dog. Lisa is attentive and kind. You can tell she genuinely loves and cares about all of her dogs. I work with her full time for daily walks and would not hesitate to utilize her other services.”


About: I have owned dogs my entire life and absolutely adore them. We lost our two babies within months of each other and I miss them terribly. I would love to spend some time with other doggies. I work part-time so have a lot of flexibility. I’m happy to drop in or take your dog(s) for a walk. I’m happy to also just hang out with them. Unfortunately my two doggies are no longer with me but I miss taking care of a dog so I would love to be able to help someone out.
About: I am a reliable pet sitter. I have cared for multiple furry friends going back about 10 years. I have experience caring for both dogs (small, medium, and large) and cats. I primarily have hosted animals in my house, but I also have experience going to other houses to care for animals. I love animals and I can't wait to connect with you! I’m currently working part time, but I have ample time to take care of your pets. I work in the morning from 7-9 and in the afternoon from 2:30-6:30, but will always have family home to assist in caring for pets. I have a fenced in spacious yard for your furry friends to play in. I have a pet friendly home with plenty of room. My furniture, if your pets are allowed on, is comfy for animals.
About: I treat every dog like family, giving them the attention, exercise, and cuddles they crave. Big or small, playful or mellow, I make tails wag and paws happy — while keeping you updated with plenty of adorable photos. Pet care fits right into my routine — weekday evenings are best for walks and play, weekends for long hikes, adventures, and plenty of love. I provide a safe and loving environment where pets can relax, play, and feel at ease. My home is secure, cozy, and supervised with care. You can trust me to treat your pet like family, offering not just safety but plenty of fun and affection.
About: We lost our 13 yr old american bulldog / hound mix and while mom (Lisa) isn't ready to have a new FT family member just yet, my son and I would be so excited to have fun with and love your pet as our own while you are away. We have a fenced-in back yard, lots of toys and a comfy dog bed - though of course you are welcome to bring your own gear, if it makes your pet feel more comfortable and at home. Typically only board 1 family at a time. Because our schedules can vary, we’re only able to accept boarding requests 2-3 months in advance. We appreciate your understanding! I am self-employed and work from home so am available to give your pet all the attention it deserves, take for walks and potty breaks as needed. We have a fenced yard and I have experience with senior dogs where extra care, love and medication may be needed, and am totally fine with larger dogs as well.
About: I have had dogs for 25 years, we had 2 rescue dogs when our kids were growing up. Since then I have walked and dog sat for many different families. I prefer to have 1 dog at a time for dog sitting overnight and for weeks at a time. I have had people’s dogs stay with me for several weeks at a time. It is such a rewarding experience and I love meeting so many different dogs. They bring so much love and affection to me and I give the same or more love back to them. I am working F/T starting in October. Right now I am able to walk the dog(s) anytime of day to meet their schedule. When I start working I could walk the dog in the morning before work and again at 3:00 when I will be getting home from work, and again in the evening. I enjoy long walks and would take the dog with me and give him/her some exercise. I also have my son who works in Westfield who could take the dog for a walk at lunchtime. I am an active person and can never have enough walking, etc. I would love to sit/walk your favorite furry family member. I have a partially fenced yard therefore I will never let the dog out without a leash. I have a huge backyard with lots of trees and foliage. Your dog will have a great time here inside or outside. I have lots of love and affection to share with your pet.a
About: Growing up with many pets, I always enjoyed spending time with and caring for my furry family members. While in college and into present day, I continued to work with animals through dog walking as well as pet and house sitting. Past clients, friends, and neighbors rely on me to care for and spoil their furry family members while away from home on trips or simply for a quick gaunt to the park. In the past, I worked with cats, dogs, and other mammals, but I am more than happy to learn how to care for other pets, such as amphibians, birds, and reptiles. I have a flexible job full time job. I am available most days of the week except Thursday to relocate for pet and house sitting. I’m flexible to swing by to check on your pet or take for a walk throughout the day if overnights are of less interest. I am available throughout the day for quick let outs and check-ins with your pets. I can easily crate your dog in my apartment while boarding them. I also live 5 minutes from a great dog parks for your pup to get socialization. For cats and other furry friends, there is plenty of room for them to roam and play. FYI: I do have one cat, named Sedona. She is very chill around other pets and does her own thing.

“ELIZABETH is AMAZING!! Our doggie Emmy Lou is a tentative anxious hound. Elizabeth was able to put her to ease in record time. It is so comforting that Emmy Lou is always so excited to see Elizabeth. She greets our dog with enthusiasm and continues a rapport with the Emmy throughout the walk and even when dropping her off. Elizabeth truly LOVES animals. She is very responsive and easy to communicate with. I feel so fortunate to have found Elizabeth because I know if we need to be away from home overnight, Emmy can board with Elizabeth and I will have have no worries!! Thank you Elizabeth! :)”

“Bhavani handles puppies like a pet owner with care and affection. Bhavani took great care of Benny. She regularly sent pics and videos, which was very reassuring. She spent time playing with him and made sure he was well cared for throughout. I especially appreciated how she helped Benny socialize—he was happy and comfortable. Would definitely recommend her as a dogsitter.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Lucas & Katherine! Our Vizsla, Rudy was welcomed into Lucas & Katherine’s lovely home like family and he received so much love and attention from these dog lovers while we were away.
