“This is now the 4th time Ekaterina and her family have baby sat for my girl, Loretta. Loretta is very nervous and has really bad separation anxiety. But Ekaterina and her family are always so wonderful with her! With them, I never have to worry about Loretta when my family and I go away; she is in perfect hands! I get constant updates and pictures. She’s taken for walks constantly and I get updated on it all. Ekaterina, I say this all the time, but you and your family are such a blessing to us! You are our forever sitter! ♥️”
“Jessie stayed with Tynesha and her family for four days. This was the first time she stayed with someone other than a family member. She sent me photos everyday and I could see that Jessie was happy and bring well taken care of. I will definitely use her again.”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jessica! While I was traveling, my dog required unexpected medical attention, and Jessica went above and beyond to ensure she was well cared for. She immediately recognized the issue, took her to the vet, and kept me updated throughout the process, which gave me such peace of mind. Jessica treated my dog as if she were her own, providing excellent care, administering medications as instructed, and showering her with love and attention during her recovery. It's clear that Jessica is not only reliable and professional but also incredibly compassionate and dedicated. I am so grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Jessica, for everything!”
“First time using rover or ever leaving Cue with anyone for any amount of time. I reached out to Stacia before even making a full profile. She responded right away and scheduled a meet and greet. As soon as we walked in She was welcoming. Cue was a little overwhelmed at first because it was his first time but he warmed up within 10 mins and seemed happy. The house is super clean and smells good so we were sold right away. We left cue for 4 days with Stacia. She updated us about how he was doing and sent pics ?. I was very nervous about leaving him because he has an extremly sensitive stomach and loves to put stuff in his mouth he shouldn't so he has to be watched carefully. Stacia did a wonderful job making sure he was safe. She responds to texts extremely fast which gave me reassurance while away that he was ok. When we came to pick him up he was sitting with Stacia and didn't even get up to greet us lol we are confident he had a great time and was well taken care of. We will be leaving him a few times in daycare and when we travel. I am so happy we found Stacia ❤️ she is wonderful.”
“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 felt so comfortable boarding our dog with Seureon and Dongkwan! We received tons of photo updates throughout his stay, and they were responsive and flexible whenever communicating through logistics. Our dog is very hyper, but he seemed nice and worn out from playing when we picked him up. We will be boarding our dog here again!”
“This is our second time book with Lucas and Katherine and we will definitely be using them again. They are so sweet, send the cutest pictures and show so much long to my baby girl.”
“Ivanna was amazing with my baby and provided reliable and professional dog boarding in the Union NJ area. She created a safe and caring environment and followed all of her care instructions perfectly. My baby felt comfortable and happy throughout the entire stay, and the frequent photo updates gave me so much peace of mind. She came home relaxed, well fed, and clearly loved. I highly recommend Ivanna to anyone looking for trustworthy overnight dog boarding or a caring pet sitter, and I will definitely book with her again.”
“Winston had another wonderful stay with Marlene for 5 overnights. Marlene's communication is excellent and we are so thankful to how attentive she is to our Winston while he is in her care. Marlene provides daily updates and pictures of Winston and it means the world to us!”
“Caroline took absolutely amazing care of my puppy. She kept sending us photos and videos of him while in her care. He came back super happy with his time off ?. I would highly recommend her and would definitely be taking her up on future opportunities for care!”
“This was the first time we have used Rover for overnight boarding our 5 year old rescue (puppy mill momma) - Lina. Lisa and Albert and their family were so wonderful with her. Sending pictures and updating us on her eating and sleeping. Lisa even made special meal to entice Lina to eat. Our little pupper can be anxious, and Lisa was very supportive. We have a much longer family vacation upcoming, and know that our Lina will be in the best hands. Thank you Lisa and family!!!!”
“This was the first time since my boys were born in 2018 that they were dogsat by anyone else other than family and it was perfect. Bonnie and her family were fantastic. They kept my boys comfortable while I was away for a week and kept in constant touch to give updates and adorable photos so I could see how they were doing throughout the day. 100% would rebook in the future. Thanks Bonnie and Yee!”
“Thank you jose <3 barbie had so much fun that she didnt want to leave , thank you again , you are a charm and will definitely leave barbie again soon with you ! Blessings”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was so happy with Maisha. She was so great with Charlie and kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout the time Charlie was with her. She was very attentive and Charlie had a great time staying with her.”
“This was my 2nd time using Javier’s service and he is just awesome with my dog Button! He’s so loving and attentive with my dog! It’s good to know that there are people that are loving and caring for animals ❤️❤️❤️”
“Wow! What an exceptional experience. Melanie was so lovely and attentive. Our large breed dog Jerome had major surgery so we reserved Melanie months in advance for Thanksgiving travel. She was super accommodating, visited Jerome prior to the reservation and invited us to visit her home to assure us he’d be in a secure space as he continued his healing. She regularly sent adorable photos of Jerome to show us he was content. Melanie is a GREAT caregiver, not just a dog sitter. She’ll always be our first choice in the future.”
About: With experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and ages, I tailor my approach to each pet’s unique needs—whether that’s energetic play, calm companionship, or following a specific routine. I make space in my life for animal care, not just fit it in, and I always take time to learn about a pet’s favorite activities, schedule, and temperament to ensure they feel safe, understood, and loved. I work a steady 9–5 schedule on weekdays with weekends completely free, which allows me to build reliable, consistent pet care into my daily routine. Mornings and evenings are dedicated to caring for animals—whether that’s feeding, walking, administering medication, or just spending quality time. On weekends, I’m fully available for extended visits, drop-ins, or overnight care. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I intentionally make space for in my life. Whether your pet needs a calm companion, detailed attention, or a familiar routine while you’re away, I’m here to provide dependable and loving care every time. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or welcoming them into mine, their comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. In Your Home: I understand how important it is for pets to stay in their familiar environment. When caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with the utmost respect—leaving everything exactly as I found it, or even better. I follow your instructions closely, maintain your pet’s routine, and always make sure they’re calm, comfortable, and cared for like part of my own family. In My Home: I live in a single-level home with a large, fully fenced-in yard—perfect for safe outdoor time and play. Inside, we have two spacious bedrooms and a relaxed, open layout. Pets have unrestricted access throughout the home so they can settle in, explore, and feel completely at ease. I aim to make it a true home-away-from-home experience where your pet feels loved and secure at all times.
“Yanina was so welcoming. Thank you so much for taking care of my little princess! She sent pictures and kept us informed of how she was adjusting. I came back to a happy, energized puppy with good behavior. Definitely will rebook her all the time. Thank you!”
“I’ve booked with Naomi many, many times now. She’s wonderful and Kubo loves to go back. She takes care of him and loves him like he’s her own. Not to mention that Naomi is so kind and sweet herself. She updates me about how Kubo is doing each time I book with her and always welcomes him back with open arms, even if I request a last-minute booking. Definitely book with her. She’s the best. :-)”

“Jillian was great taking care of our kitty Yoda. She kept us up to date with pictures each visit. She went the extra mile by keeping in touch with us while we were in Spain. We are so grateful.”

“Jennifer is a amazing animal carer she was very patient and loving with my cats and they can be a handful as they been heavily spoiled. She communicated everything I needed to know about my boys and made me feel at ease. I would not hesitate to book her again.”
“This is the second time Emily has petsit for my 2 cats. As always she was amazing. My first experience was back in February when I had to go on an extended work trip for 10 days. Emily was amazing and my 2 cats warmed right up to her. She took such great care of them. She went above and beyond even making it to take care of them during the blizzard. I cannot recommend Emily enough. She will love your pets like they are her own making sure their needs are met while giving lots of play time and cuddles. She even got my extremely timid cat to take her medicine twice a day- an amazing feat!! Her updates and communication were thorough and put me at ease while I was away. I highly recommend her to everyone in the area and will be booking her for my future pet sitting needs.”
About: The first cat I took care of was my aunt’s short hair named Frenchie. She was shy and a bit stubborn, but by the end of her time with me, we became best friends. Ever since then, I’ve made it my point to befriend every cat I take care of by respecting their boundaries and prioritizing their comfort. I have taken care of cuddly cats and nervous cats. I’ve never been afraid of litter box cleaning or getting scratched. I worked at Pet Valu for a while as well and have worked with shelter cats by feeding them, cleaning their cages, socializing them, and administering oral medications.
“Claire did a great job taking care of our cats and breaded dragon. I was away for two weeks, she looked after everyone very well, she always made sure to update me and send pictures. Both cat’s and bearded dragon tank are clean when I come back. She is very responsible. I would highly recommended.”
“Justice was caring, diligent, and exceptional at what she does! I would definitely hire her again, she made me feel at ease while away knowing my babies were in good hands. Thank you so much for your assistance Justice!”
About: I’ve been crazy about pets my whole life—raised with two dogs who taught me love and duty, now sharing my days with a feisty cat and keeping up with my family’s three silly pups. I’m here to pamper your furry friends: epic walks, tons of playtime, big cuddles, or just kicking back together. Cats? I’m their brushing and snuggle champ. Baths or meds? Show me how, and I’m all over it. I get a kick out of every pet’s little quirks! Note: my cat’s a lone wolf, so I can’t host at home. Drop me a line to chat about your pet—I’m pumped to give them the fun and care they’ll totally adore! Every morning of the week until 12h30, I can pass to walk and play with your animal. I can maybe be free during the weekend. We need to discuss first. I live for animals and their happiness, with a sharp eye for what they’re feeling. I pick up on stress signals and tweak my care to fit them perfectly, creating a peaceful vibe where they can just be themselves. Whether it’s a burst of play to lift their spirits or a quiet moment to ease their mind, I tune into their world and make it better.
“Elaine was amazing!! She sent such great updates on our fur baby and played so much with him. We knew we / our cat was in good hands with her while we were away.”

About: I have taken care of both indoor and outdoor cats since middle school for multiple families and households. I am good with energetic cats that love to play, social cats that love attention, or even shy cats that tend to stay away from visitors, I’ve been able to connect with all cat personalities!
“Jessica recently took care of my two cats while my husband and I went on vacation. This was our second time booking her services. Communication was easy, the cats are happy and the house was in prefect shape when we got back. We will happily request her help again in the future.”

As a professional pet groomer with 6 years of experience, I’ve worked with both dogs and cats and understand how to handle pets safely and calmly. I also have experience grooming cats and trimming nails, which helps me provide extra care and comfort during visits. I prioritize cleanliness, safety, routine, and making sure every cat feels relaxed, cared for, and loved while their owner is away.

I would recommend her services to anyone in the area looking for a professional pet specialist. I look forward to booking her for future cat drop in visits.”
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.

“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) 😉”
“My dog had a great experience with Robert! She seemed relaxed and happy during her stay, which gave me peace of mind. The sitter was very responsive, providing regular updates with pictures and videos. It’s clear he is very passionate about caring for your dog/s and attentive to their needs. Would definitely book again!”
“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!”
“Lisa has provided a wonderful experience to us and our dog Willow. We left Willow for a few hours, and he came out happy and perky and that's the most important thing in the end.”

“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!”

“Connor was amazing with my newly adopted dog, Wendy! I was very nervous leaving her as Wendy is still learning to trust new humans so she is a little anxious in new environments. But Connor understood, gave her space and kept her comfortable during her first doggy day care experience. She had fun socializing with his dog Kygo along with some other dog friends outside in his fully fenced backyard. Connor put me at ease with updates and pictures as well. I will be using Connor again in the future and definitely recommend his services to others!”

I always make time to stay with your pet for some extra time past just being fed or walked, so that they get all the attention they need.

In my home country, I had two cats and one dog, and I have always been very hands-on with their care. I miss having pets around, but currently I live in an apartment in the U.S. where I’m not allowed to have animals—so pet sitting has become a wonderful way for me to stay connected with them. I am responsible, caring, patient, and very attentive to each pet’s needs. Because of my flexible schedule, I can provide reliable care, including feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and maintaining daily routines.

About: I love animals! I’ve been a dog mom for 13 years, I’ve fostered over 25 dogs, & have experience cat sitting as well. I’m based in Cranford and grew up in Westfield so very familiar with the area. Animals are my happy place and I love babying and caring for them. As such, I’d like to offer my services to keep your pets happy with cuddles, playtime, and/or exercise while you’re away from them. I have a genuine connection with animals & would love to help them feel less lonely while you’re away. In addition, I can provide a quick dog massage towards the end of my stay if you think your pet would enjoy it! I’ve experienced all different energy levels and weight up to 80 pounds. I provide excellent service through my communication, following direction, timeliness, and genuine care of animals. I’m available on weekends any time. On weekdays, I’m able to drop in 5:30pm and after during weekdays. If you’re close to me, I can drop by early morning and/or lunch time. From being a foster mom to homeless dogs, I’m very cognizant of the safety of animals. I know dogs especially can be easily spooked so I ensure that I have a firm grip on the leash with it wrapped once around my wrist. My dog is a strong pitbull so I feel comfortable handling most large strong dogs. While I’m caring for pets, I talk to them like they’re babies! I’m very much guilty of having a baby voice, but I feel the animals love and respond to it!
About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and caretaker. I had a dog by my side for 16 wonderful years growing up, and now I’m the proud owner of a playful 5-year-old Labradoodle who keeps me active and always smiling! Whether your pup loves long walks, quick potty breaks, or just some extra company during the day, I’m here to help. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your dog, and I treat every dog like my own—with care, patience, and lots of belly rubs. I’m flexible with scheduling and happy to work around your needs. Let me know how I can support you and your dog—I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I have a lot of flexibility in the summer as a teacher, which gives me availability during the day and on weekends. Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I already walk and care for my own dog daily. Whether it’s mid-day walks, evening check-ins, or weekend stays, I’m happy to fit your pet’s needs into my schedule. I create a safe and calm environment where dogs can feel right at home. I follow any feeding, crate, or medication instructions you provide and always keep communication open for updates and peace of mind.

“This is now the 4th time Ekaterina and her family have baby sat for my girl, Loretta. Loretta is very nervous and has really bad separation anxiety. But Ekaterina and her family are always so wonderful with her! With them, I never have to worry about Loretta when my family and I go away; she is in perfect hands! I get constant updates and pictures. She’s taken for walks constantly and I get updated on it all. Ekaterina, I say this all the time, but you and your family are such a blessing to us! You are our forever sitter! ♥️”
“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.”
“This is our second time book with Lucas and Katherine and we will definitely be using them again. They are so sweet, send the cutest pictures and show so much long to my baby girl.”

“Yanina was so welcoming. Thank you so much for taking care of my little princess! She sent pictures and kept us informed of how she was adjusting. I came back to a happy, energized puppy with good behavior. Definitely will rebook her all the time. Thank you!”
“Primavera was absolutely amazing with Max! From the moment she started caring for him, I could tell how much she genuinely cared about making sure he felt comfortable, safe, and loved. She took the time to get to know Max, understand his personality, routines, and needs, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. One thing I especially appreciated was how communicative she was. She regularly sent photos and updates, letting me know how Max was doing and keeping me informed about his behavior and activities. As a dog mom, those updates meant the world to me and helped me feel connected to him even when I couldn’t be there. It’s clear that Primavera truly loves animals and goes above and beyond to provide personalized care. Knowing that Max was in such attentive and caring hands allowed me to relax and enjoy my time away. I would not hesitate to book with her again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family. Thank you, Primavera, for taking such wonderful care of my boy! 🐾❤️”
“We can’t recommend Melodie enough! She took such wonderful care of our senior dogs while we were away. She made us feel comfortable from the start. She was incredibly attentive, followed our instructions, and sent daily updates with photos that made us smile. It was clear our dogs were relaxed and well cared for. We came home to happy pups, and we are so grateful for her kindness and professionalism. It is clear Melodie loves animals and treats them like her own. Highly recommend!”
“What a relief to find Vincent who was able to board our German Shepherd mix while we went away for almost a week. He sent us updates and we were happy our pet wasn’t alone. He was safe and got along with their beautiful lab mix-Scarlett. Thank you Vincent!”
About: We are a loving family who are excited to open our home to your pet. We were proud dog owners for 13 years, and caring for our beloved Brandin was a big part of our daily life. We truly enjoy being around dogs and creating a warm, safe environment where they feel comfortable and loved. Between myself and my husband if not both someone is usually at home. I only work part time and my husband is a NJ Firefighter which gives us free time to care for your pet. We have a fully fenced in yard where dogs can safely play, get fresh air, and we live in a friendly dog loving community that’s perfect for walks and outdoor time.

“Jenny was great with our dig, Riley. She asked lots of smart questions to be sure Riley was getting the best care and staying on his routine. She sent photos and was very accommodating when out flight delay resulted in a later than expected pick up. I highly recommend Jenny and will certainly call on her again.”
“Megan and Nick were phenomenal! Lola felt right at home with their family and Bubba, their dog. They were responsive and sent my partner and I daily photo updates of our girl. I was afraid Lola wouldn’t want to leave come pick up because she was oh so loved and entertained during her stay with them. We found our trusted sitter family!”
About: I love animals and have experience working with and sitting for a wide range of them, including dogs, cats, and small or exotic animals. I myself have owned over twenty parrots (currently have two in the aviary!) and have extensive experience with fishkeeping — I have four cycled, walstad fish and shrimp tanks! I can walk your dog, clean your cat’s litter box, and even do water changes for your fish if needed! Anything to make sure your little guys are well cared for! I’m a graduate student who will be free over the summer, so my schedule is flexible until late August. I can make myself and my home available as needed. I live in a townhome that features a large, lush, and open neighborhood to walk your dogs in. My home has two floors; the first floor is where your pet will stay. When your pet is in my home, they are treated like members of my family. They will be fed, walked, and enriched on your schedule, and will be allowed to sit on the couch and even sleep in my bed at nights if comfortable. I take great care to ensure that your pet’s stay is comfortable and fun-filled. In my home, I currently have two budgies in a large cage and two betta fish, each in 5-10 gallon tanks. The parrots are allowed to free fly for most of the day, but they will be put away or kept caged when your pets are being boarded. When I am in your home, I cultivate the utmost respect. I try not to disturb or move anything that’s not necessary. I’ll make use of only what’s given to me with regards to caring for your pet, and leave everything else exactly how I found it.
“Nan was great! Would recommend to anyone looking to board there pet. Was able to book with her last minute with no problem. She really cared well for my young puppy, kept in touch the entire time, and sent pictures and videos. My puppy loved her! Will absolutely be using Nan again to care for my dog when I'm away.”
“Tiara was super kind and thoughtful, professional and prepared. I was so grateful she could take care of my cat while we were away. I hope to use her services again and recommend her highly to anyone!”
“Alison was THE BEST with our dog Graham. This was our first time leaving him in someone else’s care and I’m glad Alison was the one to care for him. Frequent updates throughout the stay via texts and pictures, responded promptly to messages and very professional! Graham really enjoyed his stay and I would definitely book with Alison again🤗”
“Nicole was great, she really put us at ease with her experience taking care or dogs. I have put my dogs in a kennel in the past and they come back a little anxious. Not with Nicole, they came out happy as if they were on vacation! I highly recommend Nicole for dog sitting.”
“Robert took great care of my Lab for a week-long boarding, sending frequent messages/updates and pictures or videos that were great to receive. My dog needed frequent walks, which Robert made sure she received. I really appreciated how reliable he was. Most importantly, he was very kind and gentle with my dog!”
