“This was my first time using Rover and my first time boarding my dog with someone other than close family. As you can imagine I was extremely nervous and uncertain to leave my dog, but Kyle and his family took great care of Ginger. I could tell by questions they asked me that they were truly experienced. I truly felt I and Ginger had know Kyle and his family for a long time. I got updates to ease my anxiety and to know my “old lady” was with people who understood how to take care of senior dogs was an amazing experience. They were kind, helpful in a short notice situation and flexible so much so that I extended my reservation another day. I would without a doubt rebook with Kyle.”
“Yanni took very good care of my girl! She was very communicative and always sent me photos which put me at ease, especially because my dog appeared to be happy or relaxed in every photo. I would certainly rebook again, Yanni was very trustworthy!”
“Kamini, her family, and Pia are fantastic. Our dog stayed overnight and I received frequent updates (the right amount), lots of pictures, and great communication!! Even with this being the first time he stayed with them, I was comfortable and confident he was being treated as their own. He got along great with Pia, and we would definitely use Kamini again in the future. Highly recommend. 5 stars!”
“Joanne was great with Bruno. We got plenty of pictures, which made us feel at ease during our trip. We will be booking her again! Smooth meet and greet process as well as drop off/pixkuo.”
“Elia was the perfect match for my dog Mya. From her communication, personality, kindness, and overall love for my dog. I felt in good hands. Will be using her again. She is a blessing and highly recommend to anyone.”

“I feel bad for myself when my dogs have a good time without me. - but THEY LOVE GOING TO DEB’S! An overnight and no problems, no starving themselves, no crying all night. Just a regular day only without me. How lucky am I to have access to this help for my furr babies (and for my soul)!”
“I had an amazing experience with Alaine as my dog sitter. She was highly responsive, providing daily photos and a detailed "report card" summarizing Brizo's activities and well-being during the four-night stay. Alaine took exceptional care of Brizo, and her own dog, Pasta, was a wonderful host too. I highly recommend Alaine for her attentiveness, communication, and genuine love for animals. Brizo can't wait to visit again soon!”
“Gabriela took such amazing care of our dog this weekend. She kept us up to date with plenty of pictures and updates the entire time she had Hope. Can’t wait till out next visit to her and her amazing family. Highly recommended sitter. Would absolutely rebook the next time we need someone to take care of Hope. Wonderful sitter and took simply the best care of our dog while we were away.”
“Gisselle and her family are the perfect family for our dogs to stay with while away from home!! They are loving, patient, attentive and absolutely spoiled our two Shetland Sheepdogs!! Gisselle sent photos as well as updates throughout the days we were away. The images showed my two pups comfortable, happy and having a blast playing the day away!! I could not be more grateful for her care in every way. Gisselle is my “go to family” now for all our dog care needs. She is the absolute best!!”
“Trista has been incredibly helpful and flexible, she was helpful when I had a last minute need and was very understanding and open. She makes the stays easy and my dog was very happy staying with her.”
“Kaipo loved Scotts home. He was so excited to be there. Nice big yard to run around in and other dogs to play with as well. One of the biggest changes I noticed after Kaipos' stay was that he now returns the ball to me when we play fetch. He would never do that before. Keep away was his favorite game. Took him to dog park and I was throwing the ball for him for nearly an hour. He bought it back every time, dropped it and waited for me to pick it up and throw it again. That was a nice change and I want to thank Scott for fixing that. I had fun.”
“Kathleen looked after our little bud, Falcor while we were away for 11 days. She got along with him just fine (he loves to cuddle). What really stood out was Kathleen’s willingness to be flexible with our situation. On his drop-off date, we were heading to the cruise port to begin our trip. Instead of requiring me to drive to her home with Falcor, which would have used up about an hour of my time each way, Kathleen coordinated with a family member who lives close to us. So instead, I was able to drop Falcor there which made our day super smooth! Kathleen was very accommodating and she kept to our specific instructions about Falcor’s care.”

“Kevin & his wife were amazing! They offered to do a meet and greet before hand and made my dog and I both feel so comfortable. They sent pictures or videos every day which really helped knowing my dog was enjoying herself while I was away!”
“Heather was wonderful with my Labrador; She watched him overnight for 3 nights at her house. She sent regular updates with photos and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Will definitely book again.”
“Sindy took great care of my dog Brizo for one night. She was kind, attentive, and kept me updated throughout. Brizo came home happy and well cared for. I would definitely book with her again!”

We were able to enjoy our time away with the knowledge our babies were in good hands!”

“Aleja is amazing! She welcomed us so warmly and took great care of my puppy Lola throughout the day. She kept me informed about how she was doing and sent me lots of pictures. I really recommend Aleja; she is amazing with the dogs.”
“Estefania was amazing with Simba! Initially, I was a bit concerned about how her dog, Nova, would react to Simba since he’s very playful and persistent, but they ended up getting along just fine. When we first arrived for our meet and greet, Estefania’s home was clean and calm, and Simba immediately felt comfortable, heading straight for the toys. Talking with Estefania and hearing her insights on how puppies behave put my mind at ease, and I felt confident leaving Simba in her care. She also sent wonderful videos of Simba, and I could tell by his energy and excitement that Estefania treated him like her own. Simba can’t wait to visit Nova and Estefania again!”

“Trista was a huge help in watching our two pointers for the day. One of them is very anxious, and Trista was able to get him to relax and to enjoy his time at her house. Trista is very professional and communication throughout the day was very easy. I would definitely rebook in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since my early 20s. I began fostering dogs in my early 30s and even had some foster failures. I have always been that friend, neighbor, stranger that will stop and help and animal in need or just stop the world to say hi to a four legged love ! I have full open availability! I am a teacher and am home during the summer so I can meet most needs. I am also willing to travel to help a pup in need. I prefer to board at home and I have two small pups at home, Eli and Gidget. Eli is a 12 year old Havanese and Gidget is a 2 year old Brug. They are sweet and get along with all animals and people.
About: I have experience with both younger dogs and elderly dogs. I have specifically worked with senior dogs, who required special care getting around, keeping track of their medication schedule, and their diets. I'm currently working part time and remotely, so I'll have a lot of time to spend with your dogs. I also enjoy taking walks, so I'll make sure your dogs are getting the outside time they need! I have a large fenced in yard at my home, along with plenty of dog toys. I can also crate your dog if needed. There are also a few trails nearby which are easy and engaging for dogs to walk through.
“She was able to take our dogs last minute. Letting us know ahead of time that she would be out of the house for an hour while she had them. Dogs were happy, we were able to go out for the day, worked perfectly.”
“Debbie sent pictures and all I saw were 2 small dogs who did not miss their human Mom. There was play time (smiles and action), down time (cuddling and relaxing). I was always under the impression they sat in a corner and missed me with all their tiny hearts, but no - Debbie had them going the whole time! One fell asleep on the drive home due to the days action, the other needed every minute of tthe days action! Her property is amazing! Gorgeous setting only maybe two or three miles from downtown Bernardsville. So much safe space to run and play in. Exploring is at the top of Louie's requirements and he had a whole acre of fenced in yard to get all his Terrier on! Thanks so much Debbie! WE WILL BE BACK!!!!”
“Maggie had a great time at Scott’s. We felt very comfortable leaving Maggie with Scott and when we returned to pick her up we could tell that she liked him and was comfortable there. She will definitely be visiting again.”

“Jessi was great with my late booking. I shared a little bit about my dogs’ quirks and she reassured me about her experience. We weren’t able to meet ahead of time but she asked good questions that made me feel confident that she would take good care of my babies. We were in the middle of a heat wave and she did so well accommodating them. Great pics of my smiling cuties even though Jessi was essentially a stranger to them.”
About: I've had at least one pet for my entire life, and always helped to take care of them. I've taken care of puppies, all the way up to elderly dogs. I am currently in the process of applying to jobs, so my schedule might be a little wonky for a while, but I can always try to work things out! My own two dogs sleep in their crates at bedtime. And my cat is terrified of the dogs, so she stays in my room in the basement while the dogs roam the rest of the house.
About: I have grown up with various types of pets for the 20 years of my life. I had two Labradors since I was young, they are not around any more. We have a large yard for plenty of running and playing for any type of dog. We are a big family so there will be someone to play with them. I have pet sat for a friend of my mom for two medium sized dogs for three weeks.

About: I’ve grown up with Beagles and work well with all breeds and ages. I strongly believe that every dog deserves a day out on the town (or maybe just a walk around it). I’m free most weekends and various times during the day. I can do early mornings or late nights, happy to spend time with any dog throughout the day. I knock and ring the doorbell always first, just so the dogs know I’m coming (if they don’t already), walk in, greet everyone and wish the dogs a good morning, feed and water them, then let them have their breakfast and take them on a walk afterwards, always making sure to clean up after them when I first get there and definitely before I leave.

Even when I am employed, I always make it a priority to take care of your pets. This isn’t just a side job for me, this is my passion.

“This was my first time using Rover and my first time boarding my dog with someone other than close family. As you can imagine I was extremely nervous and uncertain to leave my dog, but Kyle and his family took great care of Ginger. I could tell by questions they asked me that they were truly experienced. I truly felt I and Ginger had know Kyle and his family for a long time. I got updates to ease my anxiety and to know my “old lady” was with people who understood how to take care of senior dogs was an amazing experience. They were kind, helpful in a short notice situation and flexible so much so that I extended my reservation another day. I would without a doubt rebook with Kyle.”
“Kamini, her family, and Pia are fantastic. Our dog stayed overnight and I received frequent updates (the right amount), lots of pictures, and great communication!! Even with this being the first time he stayed with them, I was comfortable and confident he was being treated as their own. He got along great with Pia, and we would definitely use Kamini again in the future. Highly recommend. 5 stars!”

“I had an amazing experience with Alaine as my dog sitter. She was highly responsive, providing daily photos and a detailed "report card" summarizing Brizo's activities and well-being during the four-night stay. Alaine took exceptional care of Brizo, and her own dog, Pasta, was a wonderful host too. I highly recommend Alaine for her attentiveness, communication, and genuine love for animals. Brizo can't wait to visit again soon!”
“Gabriela took such amazing care of our dog this weekend. She kept us up to date with plenty of pictures and updates the entire time she had Hope. Can’t wait till out next visit to her and her amazing family. Highly recommended sitter. Would absolutely rebook the next time we need someone to take care of Hope. Wonderful sitter and took simply the best care of our dog while we were away.”
“Gisselle and her family are the perfect family for our dogs to stay with while away from home!! They are loving, patient, attentive and absolutely spoiled our two Shetland Sheepdogs!! Gisselle sent photos as well as updates throughout the days we were away. The images showed my two pups comfortable, happy and having a blast playing the day away!! I could not be more grateful for her care in every way. Gisselle is my “go to family” now for all our dog care needs. She is the absolute best!!”
“Trista has been incredibly helpful and flexible, she was helpful when I had a last minute need and was very understanding and open. She makes the stays easy and my dog was very happy staying with her.”
“Kaipo loved Scotts home. He was so excited to be there. Nice big yard to run around in and other dogs to play with as well. One of the biggest changes I noticed after Kaipos' stay was that he now returns the ball to me when we play fetch. He would never do that before. Keep away was his favorite game. Took him to dog park and I was throwing the ball for him for nearly an hour. He bought it back every time, dropped it and waited for me to pick it up and throw it again. That was a nice change and I want to thank Scott for fixing that. I had fun.”
“Kathleen looked after our little bud, Falcor while we were away for 11 days. She got along with him just fine (he loves to cuddle). What really stood out was Kathleen’s willingness to be flexible with our situation. On his drop-off date, we were heading to the cruise port to begin our trip. Instead of requiring me to drive to her home with Falcor, which would have used up about an hour of my time each way, Kathleen coordinated with a family member who lives close to us. So instead, I was able to drop Falcor there which made our day super smooth! Kathleen was very accommodating and she kept to our specific instructions about Falcor’s care.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 14. I’m comfortable with any breed. I feel I am someone who is a reliable and trustworthy. I’m currently working remote and at home, which means I can take care of pups anytime of the day. Some days this may vary but overall I’m open. I have a yard in an apartment complex in which I bring my dogs out to run around and play. I have 2 friendly dogs to keep your fur babies entertained. I can crate your dogs if needed too.
“Kevin & his wife were amazing! They offered to do a meet and greet before hand and made my dog and I both feel so comfortable. They sent pictures or videos every day which really helped knowing my dog was enjoying herself while I was away!”
“Heather was wonderful with my Labrador; She watched him overnight for 3 nights at her house. She sent regular updates with photos and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Will definitely book again.”
“Sabita has just been the best! I have used Rover before and had my cat boarded by another member. Sabita has proven to be way more communicative and given way more personalized care and attention to my little buddy. She sent multiple pictures, twice a day, showing him eatting, playing and relaxing: all with much content on his face. I was worried he may not want to come home. She followed all his medication and food instruction to the letter and made sure she showered him in attention. He had his own room and was treated like a true guest in her home. I highly advise using Sabita for all your cat boarding needs. She is also a lot more reasonably priced then some members on this app, without sacrificing the experience or service. I will definitely be reaching out for her services for my future needs!”
“Ivy took wonderful care of my energetic, large breed, 1 year old puppy. She sent TONS of photos and updates. He was so happy there- he hardly wanted to come home 🤣 Her dog is a great playmate for other pups, too. ❤️”
“Chris has been awesome with Annie during her stay. Annie got along with Chris and his dog Bunker really well. Excellent communication, too. My husband and would definitely rebook with Chris!”
“My dog loved his stay with Sarah. She took him into her home on short notice and was super accommodating. She made sure I received lots of updates and photos and I could tell that he was having a blast in all of them. I would recommend Sarah, her husband and their pups to anyone looking for an attentive sitter for their dog. :)”
“Isabella, a was very attentive to Koa! He does not get along with people but he was cared for and pampered enough that he came out of his shell. Kept us updated throughout and sent us loads of photos. Can’t thank her enough for the amazing hospitality!”
About: I have had cats since I was a kid, walked my friends’ dogs in the neighborhood and just love being outside in their company walking and playing. I am currently working from home and have plenty of time during the day to walk your pet friend. I love to be outside in any weather and will take nice long walks and play. My family member has developed bad allergies so I cannot have my own pets. I love dogs and cats a lot and will enjoy their company.
