“Christina and Nick were great with Ollie. They updated us with photos regularly and felt very comfortable with Ollie being there. They also graciously did a meet and greet beforehand as Ollie can be selective with new people. Definitely will be booking again!”
“We had our dog stay with them for boarding, and we couldn’t have been happier! They were incredibly kind, took great care of our dog, and frequently sent us photos and videos so we could see how she was doing. We highly recommend them!”
“Karla was amazing! She recently took care of my German Shorthaired Pointer, Olive, and I couldn’t have been happier. She was incredibly communicative, sending daily updates with photos and videos that showed how happy and comfortable Olive was. Karla’s attention to detail and genuine care made all the difference. It was clear that Olive was in great hands, and I felt completely at ease knowing she was so well cared for.”
About: I have years of experience in the caretaking of animals and I’ve always done it with love, my family and friends always trusted me to care for their pets since I was younger and i’ve always enjoyed it. I love every part of taking care of animals whether its grooming, bathing oral medications administration etc… Animals will always hold a special place in my heart. My schedule is very flexible, I usually stay home and do online school work most of the time, so I’m available really anytime on weekdays and sometimes on weekends. I will care for the pets by making sure they are well fed, kept clean and healthy. I live in a very safe neighborhood with a nice park down the street. I have an animal friendly household with fences outside to ensure that the pets wont wander off.
“My miniature schnauzer had a great time with Rhinesca’s dogs, he seemed to be having the time of his life when they met, running around her yard. Daily communication and photos. We’d be happy to leave Tux with them again. Recommend!”
“Kinjal was amazing with Timmy. This is our first time leaving him with someone other than family so we were a bit worried. After the inital meetup, talking with Kinjal, and seeing where he would be staying, my worries started to fade. During the boarding, Kinjal communicated daily with photo and video updates and frequently asked questions about Timmy in order to provide the best care of him. We will definitely go with Kinjal again. Highly recommended!”
“Geoff and his family were absolutely wonderful with our three pups and truly went above and beyond. They communicated regularly and shared lots of photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dogs had an amazing time with daily trips to the dog park and even felt included in the family’s holiday celebrations. They were clearly loved, well cared for, and treated like part of the family. Our youngest pup actually cried when it was time to leave at pickup—proof of how much he enjoyed his stay! We would not hesitate to recommend Geoff and his family and will definitely book with them again.”
“Yesenia took excellent care of my five-year-old French Bulldog, Lewis. I’d give 6 stars if I could. I’m thoroughly satisfied with her service and highly recommend her for any pet care needs you may have.”
“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!”
“Desi and Marilyn were so kind and patient with Mia. Mia doesn’t like being away from her family, but I was happy to know that she was safe and sound at Desi and Marilyn’s home. Their yard was nicely set up for the dogs, and they had everything neat and organized.”
“Paola took great care of Louie while we were away. She sent daily updates and pics which we really appreciate. Louie feels very comfortable and love staying there. Thanks Paola!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Sandra dogsitting for Jack. Sandra's dog is also a miniature poodle. She has a big yard. The two dogs get along very well. Sandra sent me lots of pictures and a video during the stay. We would book with them again next time.”
“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.”
“Laura and Daniel went above and beyond in making sure my kitten had a great stay. I’m a new cat mom and was nervous to leave him behind but I felt at ease and they made sure to send updates throughout his stay. Very accommodating of schedule too. I would highly recommend them!”
“Marcy is amazing! I never have to worry if Lilly is in safe hands while she’s staying with her. Lilly loves her whole family, and they all treat her with extra TLC. Marcy sends us daily morning/mid day/ and evening pictures and updates keeping us informed. We love her!”
“This was my first time taking my babygirl (cat) to any boarding or sitting services and while my baby was not the nicest Angelica was great! She made everything about the experience nice and easy, she sent me pictures and updates and responded almost instantly. I told my cat to get used to it ‘cause we’re coming back! 🖤”
“Janise and her family took amazing care of my dog Faith! She suffers from some anxiety, but they were patient, brought out the best in her, and kept us updated frequently. Would definitely recommend!!”
“This is our second time booking with Rocío and she is always so kind and welcoming. We went away for a few days during Memorial Day weekend and it was hard dropping Sasha off as we were worried that she would get depressed and not eat. However, Rocío assured us she was in great hands. Rocío would always communicate and send us videos or pictures of Sasha so we were never left wondering how she was doing. I feel that Rocío really cares for and loves Sasha and makes sure that she is comfortable. My fiancé and I feel very lucky to have found Rocio! Thank you!”
“We are so happy we found Keisy! She was calm and accommodating. She helped with navigating around rover as I was not familiar or any questions I had. She answered all questions I had.”

“Nicole was great once again! She was easy to communicate with and I came home to a happy cat. Nicole even went back to my house one day because I got an alert from the litter robot that something was wrong. She’s very prompt in her responses and updates, which makes it easier for me to leave knowing my cat will be well taken care of 😻”
“Victoria was a wonderful cat sitter for our cats - she was attentive, responsible and went above and beyond! Our cats are very much attached to us, but they were in great spirits upon our return and didn’t seem to miss us at all 😂”
“Best pet service!! I’m truly happy I found Diane and was able to have her taken care of my two kitties while I was gone for vacation. She is very patient and caring for my little ones and has given me the comfort of knowing they were in good hands while I was away! Will totally rebook her on for next getaway ☺️”
“Andrew was a very last minute booking as my family member whom usually keeps an eye on TIMO has been sick and I was taking a multi day trip and needed someone to keep an eye on TIMO (he loves play time and companionship!). I met Andrew on the morning that I was leaving and agreed to keep an eye on him. He dropped by later that afternoon to start his sessions and Timo welcomed him in. Each time Andrew came back Timo would welcome him at the door and was looking forward to playtime! Also Andrew would send timely communications and pictures and usually a short video clip of playtime 🐱and usually would stay a tad extra each time! Additionally there was one day that Timo pulled out a power cable connecting his water fountain feeder and thermostat and he was able to identify the source and plug it back in. I’m so very happy TIMO was able to warm up to Andrew quickly and would highly recommend for anyone looking for the care of their cat .. with care as if it was his own pet. Also, Timo wants to thank Andrew for bringing him a new toy and genuinely loving playtime every day. Thank you 😸”
About: With 9 years of cat ownership under our belts, we're pros at all things feline.

“Enis went above and beyond. He was completely reliable and very generous with his time. He had a natural rapport with my cat and I would absolutely use his services again. Thanks, Enis! :)”
“Geoff took excellent care of our two cats, Dexter and DeeDee, while we were away on vacation for a week. He was reliable, followed all of our instructions, and kept us updated after each visit with photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book Geoff again. Highly recommended!”
“I’d recommend Jinghong to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter! First time using Rover and she put our minds at ease sending multiple updates throughout the visit. Our cat Milo was very happy and we’d definitely book 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 was also apart of my animal club in high school where I got to donate to animal shelters and interacted with animals in that setting. I have a flexible schedule, so pet care can easily be a regular part of my day and week. I really enjoy spending time with animals and am happy to structure my routine around their needs, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, loved, and well taken care of while their family is away. I care for every pet as if they were my own! 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. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease.
About: Hi, I’m Kaila. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy who will give your dog extra love, you’ve come to the right place! Other than being responsible and caring, my goal is to understand every client’s wants and needs. Let me know if you have any special requests, and I would be sure to accommodate them. I send updates while taking care of your pet so that you can rest assured that your dog is safe with me. I know how much the protection of your pet means to you, so that is my #1 priority! As for my background, I have interned at Oradell Animal Hospital observing surgeries, sitting in on clinical appointments, and familiarizing myself with different dog breeds and their unique personalities and medical needs. I have also worked as a Veterinary Assistant, assisting veterinarians during handling, exams and medical procedures. I have just graduated with my Bachelor's Degree and am working part-time as a medical receptionist so I have extra time to look after your furry loved ones. I have pivoted my career path but I still have a special place in my heart for caring for animals and am on Rover to fulfill that! I can also take care of cats or any small animals. My preference is for smaller animals for doggy daycare/boarding since my apartment is on the smaller side! I am able to provide plenty of quality time with your pups! My schedule is that I work part-time and I try to keep my Calendar updated as much as I can. Safety is a top priority. I always stay attentive when opening/closing front doors and make sure there isn’t anything unsafe on the floor or reachable for your pet! In terms of play, I love to provide your dogs with mental and physical exercise. Bring your dog’s favorite toys and treats, and I’ll be sure to have some fun with them and make your dog feel comfortable. I look forward to get to know you and your wonderful dog soon.
“Lillian did a great job for my cat. She uploaded a lot of videos while she was taking care of the cat. While my cat is shy and usually afraid of new people, he quickly got along with Lillian.”
About: My cat-care experience began in a very special way when I rescued my cat at just four weeks old. Caring for him from such a young age taught me firsthand the patience, attentiveness, and consistency cats need to feel safe and thrive. Over the past two years, I’ve cared for him through every stage of his growth and learned just how unique cats’ personalities, routines, and needs can be. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, and lots of affection—or respecting a cat’s space when that’s what they prefer. I’ll care for your cat with the same attention and love I give my own.

“Amelia was absolutely wonderful with Luli. From the beginning, she was kind, attentive, and super easy to communicate with. Luli can be a little reserved around new people, but she warmed up to Amelia almost right away. Amelia sent thoughtful updates, photos, and videos. It was clear she wasn’t just doing the basics but was actually spending quality time with Luli, making sure she was comfortable, well-fed, and had her usual little routines. I came home and Luli was relaxed and happy and the apartment was clean. I’Il definitely be reaching out to Amelia again next time I’m away. Highly, highly recommend!!”

It was obvious he was happy and comfortable during his stay. Thank you for treating him with such care—I would absolutely book with you again and highly recommend you to others!”
“Rocio is THE best!! She helped me out, last-minute, with my two pups. She’s extremely caring and attentive to my dogs and I receive multiple updates (w/photos) throughout the day. The best part is, not only do they come home super tired, but also they smell AMAZING! Thank you, Rocio - Cooper & Luna are SO excited to get into the car every morning 😁”

“Thank you for taking such great care of my boy and being flexible with drop off and pick up. He was so tired once he got home! It’s so nice knowing you pup is safe while you’re at work. He can’t wait to come back again! :)”
About: I’ve had dogs and other pets growing up my whole life, and always watched out for my siblings dogs as much as if they were mine. I love dogs and it’s super natural caring for them for me. I'm nurturing and I love dogs! I’m currently working from home so I’ll always be home and available for their needs. I’m available for boarding on weekends anytime and weekdays also. I have a huge fully fenced private backyard, they can always release energy and play outside as well, comfortably. Dogs love my backyard to run around in and love playing catch.
“Karla was super responsive and very accommodating! She accepted our request immediately and took care of pup like he was her own. He even came back to us with a printed holiday photo! Definitely recommend and will use again. Thank you!!”
“I was so nervous to drop off my newly rescued small Chiweenie and Geoff and Jenny did such a good job caring for him with so much love. Super friendly and accommodating. I can’t wait for him to go back to another doggy daycare day!”
“If you’re looking for an excellent experience for your dog when daycare is needed, Enis simply knocks it out of the park! My dog usually has an “inspection” phase when meeting his care taker initially, but with Enis, he was instantly at ease and was relaxed and happy when I picked him up. Very impressed and I will definitely contact Enis again in the future.”
About: I have two siblings with a rescue dog each and I have been the go-to auntie to dogsit for them for years. Anytime anyone’s need to go on a trip, Auntie’s got them 💪. I work from home and have a flexible schedule so I can give them the attention, the cuddles, the walks, and the treats they need to be absolutely cared for. I work a remote job from 9-5. It’s not demanding so I have lots of flexibility. I will do walks in the mornings and evenings and can fit in a fun one in the afternoon for a little nature enrichment. Meal times are how the dog parents want. They can have access to my furniture and bed. I see myself as their auntie and they will be treated with the best love and care. My apartment is right next to a train so there will be loud train noises every few hours. I’m hoping this doesn’t spook the babies but please keep that mind.
“Gargi & Sourav gave our new puppy, Koda, a great day of care. They were extremely accommodating of our schedule, which was greatly appreciated. They also shares pictures throughout the day so we knew how he was doing.”
“I was honestly very nervous using an online dog sitter for the first time because my biggest fear was being scammed or something happening to my dog. But from the moment I dropped my dog off, Paloma made me feel completely at ease. She communicated with me throughout the entire day, sent plenty of pictures and updates, and was always quick to respond. It was so comforting seeing how loved, safe, and cared for my dog was while I was away. You can truly tell she cares about the animals she watches. I’m so grateful for the experience, and I would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“They are thoughtful and very friendly. They don't just keep your puppy safe, they keep them lovingly. I was touched by their warm and attentive touch and the way they looked at our puppy. I highly recommend them and would feel comfortable leaving my puppy with them again!”
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. I'm a lifelong dog lover, and caring for pets fits seamlessly into my daily routine. Since I'm home 24/7, your dog will never be left alone for long and will get all the attention, love, and companionship they need. I know how hard it can be to leave your furry family member behind, so my goal is to give you peace of mind while your pup enjoys a happy, comfortable stay. I'll gladly send photo and video updates so you can see how much fun they're having. Your pup will have plenty of room to play in my fully fenced backyard, with a dog door so they can head in and out whenever they like. I work from home and I'm here all day, so your dog won't be left alone for long stretches. I'm available 24/7, so whether you need daytime drop-ins, overnight stays, or extended boarding, I can give your dog consistent attention and care while you're away.
“Andrew took fantastic care of our puppy, Ace. He always responded promptly and kept us updated with pictures and videos. We were thrilled with his service and will definitely use it again. Highly recommend! 😊😊”

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’m there to make your pet feel safe, loved and cared for no matter what their big personality brings. They can be shy, energetic, cuddly or even a bit stubborn. I’ve taken care of friends and family’s dogs and I care for my 2 cats including one of my cats that needs his daily oral allergy medication. I’d love to meet you and your furry best friend! I am currently unemployed and looking to fill up some of my time looking after your pets. My time is pretty flexible to give them all the attention they need! 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.
“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!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years through family and friends, and I’m always the person they trust to watch their pets. I genuinely love animals, and dogs tend to feel comfortable with me very quickly. I have experience with small and medium-sized dogs, and I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m especially patient with more anxious or sensitive dogs. I have an anxious dog of my own, which has taught me how to read body language, build trust, and create a calm, safe environment. I’m very attentive and detail-oriented, so I always follow care instructions closely, whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, or specific routines. I can also help reinforce basic training like leash manners and structure during walks. My goal is to make every dog feel cared for, understood, and happy while giving owners complete peace of mind. I treat every dog like my own and always keep communication open and consistent. I’m available Thursday through Sunday, with the most flexibility on weekends. On Thursdays and Fridays, I work part-time and am home by early afternoon, so I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and evening care. I prioritize safety, trust, and clear communication above everything. I follow each pet’s routine closely and take the time to understand their individual needs, behaviors, and comfort levels. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, as well as a very friendly Shihpoo who is used to being around other dogs. I always supervise interactions and make sure every dog feels comfortable and secure. I also have a pet camera at home for added monitoring, and a baby gate if a dog feels more comfortable in a smaller, more confined space. I’m especially mindful with more anxious dogs, as I have one of my own, so I understand the importance of patience and creating a calm, safe environment.
“Diane was such a friendly and communicative walker. She walked my 10 month old golden retriever puppy while I was away for a business trip. She walked him twice a day and left comments every single time and sent me pictures . I would definitely be using her services again and highly recommend her ?”

She was caring, dependable, and kept us updated, giving us peace of mind knowing Bishop was happy and well looked after. It was clear she treated him like one of her own. We are so thankful for her flexibility, kindness, and excellent care. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Amelia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate dog walker!”

If you want your pet to be treated like family, Michelle is your go to person! Passionate about dogs and a true animal lover! Thanks Michelle!”
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!

About: Animals have always been a part of my life. I grew up with dogs and now have a cat of my own, so I understand both the energy and companionship of dogs and the unique personalities and routines of cats. As a pet parent, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pet while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to following each pet parent’s instructions and routine. Whether your pet needs a walk, feeding, playtime, litter care, or simply some extra attention and companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available throughout the day for dog walks and drop-in visits. I’m happy to work with your pet’s established routine and provide reliable, attentive care when you can’t be there. I understand the trust it takes to have someone care for your pet in your home. During drop-in visits, I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, fresh water, litter care, playtime, and any other routines. For dog walks, I’ll prioritize safety and follow your preferences for routes, pace, and interactions with other dogs. I’ll also send photos and updates after each visit so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I have walked dogs for the last three years, on and off, ranging all the way to 100 pounds. I also have experience with blind and deaf dogs. I have my own 4 year old 60lb husky as well! I am currently on summer break from my job, so I am available seven days a week until August 15. There is a chance that day may change. I always make sure I feel comfortable taking the dog outside. I have the strength to keep bigger dogs away from others if necessary. I also am capable of running with dogs.
About: I absolutely love caring for animals. I used to be a receptionist at a vet clinic and love meeting new pets. I am a dog owner myself, which has allowed me to learn more about dogs and their individual needs. I have experience administering oral medications. I have also learned to figure out if something is wrong, or if they need medical care. I will make sure to care for your pet as if it was my own. I know it’s hard leaving our pets so please let me know what I can do to make it as comfortable as possible for you and your pet. I recently moved to New Jersey and I’m currently unemployed. I am a mom to a toddler, and I’m unable to do any long term overnight stays, but may make an exception if it’s only a day. I can feed your pet, administer medication, take them on walks or just simply hang out so they are not lonely while you are gone.

“Christina and Nick were great with Ollie. They updated us with photos regularly and felt very comfortable with Ollie being there. They also graciously did a meet and greet beforehand as Ollie can be selective with new people. Definitely will be booking again!”
“Karla was amazing! She recently took care of my German Shorthaired Pointer, Olive, and I couldn’t have been happier. She was incredibly communicative, sending daily updates with photos and videos that showed how happy and comfortable Olive was. Karla’s attention to detail and genuine care made all the difference. It was clear that Olive was in great hands, and I felt completely at ease knowing she was so well cared for.”
“Kinjal was amazing with Timmy. This is our first time leaving him with someone other than family so we were a bit worried. After the inital meetup, talking with Kinjal, and seeing where he would be staying, my worries started to fade. During the boarding, Kinjal communicated daily with photo and video updates and frequently asked questions about Timmy in order to provide the best care of him. We will definitely go with Kinjal again. Highly recommended!”
“Geoff and his family were absolutely wonderful with our three pups and truly went above and beyond. They communicated regularly and shared lots of photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dogs had an amazing time with daily trips to the dog park and even felt included in the family’s holiday celebrations. They were clearly loved, well cared for, and treated like part of the family. Our youngest pup actually cried when it was time to leave at pickup—proof of how much he enjoyed his stay! We would not hesitate to recommend Geoff and his family and will definitely book with them again.”
“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!”
“Desi and Marilyn were so kind and patient with Mia. Mia doesn’t like being away from her family, but I was happy to know that she was safe and sound at Desi and Marilyn’s home. Their yard was nicely set up for the dogs, and they had everything neat and organized.”
“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.”
“Laura and Daniel went above and beyond in making sure my kitten had a great stay. I’m a new cat mom and was nervous to leave him behind but I felt at ease and they made sure to send updates throughout his stay. Very accommodating of schedule too. I would highly recommend them!”
“This is our second time booking with Rocío and she is always so kind and welcoming. We went away for a few days during Memorial Day weekend and it was hard dropping Sasha off as we were worried that she would get depressed and not eat. However, Rocío assured us she was in great hands. Rocío would always communicate and send us videos or pictures of Sasha so we were never left wondering how she was doing. I feel that Rocío really cares for and loves Sasha and makes sure that she is comfortable. My fiancé and I feel very lucky to have found Rocio! Thank you!”
“Funda is just amazing. She took good care of my furbaby even with my short notice. She made it easy for us too as we were all set with our appointment yesterday. The rover sitter I booked last week cancelled my booking at the last hour due to an untoward incident. Funda was all flexible with my need as to her availability for drop off and pick up time. Cuppy had a great time playing in her huge yard with her kids. He felt safe with them. She also sent photos and videos of Cuppy. I highly recommend Funda to be your next dog sitter. She’s just wonderful! We will request her again for our future need. Thank you so much Funda!”
“Carolina took such good care of our two dogs. They had so much fun playing with her dog as well. She sent daily updates about how they were doing which was perfect since we were so far away from home for over a week. We really appreciated her taking care of them. We highly recommend her loving care.”
“Elizabeth and Oleg were everything we looked for and found for our dog, Ralph. When we search for somebody to leave him with, that person must have a fenced in yard and be fine to take him on a walk or two each day. It’s what he’s used to now and it’s what we feel most comfortable with when leaving him for an extended period of time. Elizabeth and Oleg provided both of these AND plenty of photos along the way to let us know that Ralph was enjoying his stay. 10/10 would recommend them if you’re looking for somebody to watch your furry friend.”
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.
“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!”
“Enis did a great job taking care of our beloved Zero. I was nervous since I’ve never boarded for more than a night. But he sent lots of pictures and responded to my texts very quickly which kept me and my family happy. Everything worked out and I would recommend Enis and would use his services again.”
“Thanks Ankita...They were attentive, reliable, and clearly cared for my dog like their own. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was happy, safe, and well taken care of.”
“We had such a great experience with Michaelangelo! We had a last-minute need for someone to watch our almost 2-year-old Boxer, Walter, who is VERY energetic and has some separation anxiety. Michaelangelo said yes without hesitation, which we really appreciated. He has two Pomeranians of his own and a great fenced-in yard where Walter could run around and get all of his energy out. Michaelangelo sent us pictures and updates every day, which really helped us feel comfortable knowing Walter was doing well. He was also very quick to respond anytime I had a question. Walter had a great time and came home happy! We’re so happy we found Michaelangelo and would definitely recommend him to our family and friends. We will absolutely use him again! ❤️”
“Andrew was very accommodating with our schedule changes and has incredible handling skills and knowledge of working my dog who has reactivity issues. Will definitely board with him again.”
“Ivette dogsat recently for me in her home and Ivette and her husband took great care of my fur baby Lambo. Their dog Blas was also so sweet and welcoming to Lambo and they had a great time together. Ivette provided wonderful updates and pics during Lambo's stay. As soon as I met Ivette i felt so comfortable leaving Lambo with her. I would highly recommend Ivette and will definitelt utilize her services again in the future.”
