“This was the first time Ruby spent the day and night away from home since we adopted her at 6 months. She is now 11 months old. Aleja was wonderful. She sent pictures and brief statements reassuring me as to how Ruby was doing. I love her (Aleja's ) calm attitude and how she talked to and managed Ruby . I am planning to book her again next month for a longer visit.”
“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!”

“This was my first time ever leaving my 7 month old puppy so I was a little nervous and not sure what to expect. Joanne put my mind at ease from the beginning and was WONDERFUL! Willow was happy and well taken care of while I was away. I even received daily updates with pictures which I looked forward to receiving. I highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. THANK YOU Joanne for taking such good care of my Willow!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!!”
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.
“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!”
“Trista was great and my dog had a wonderful visit. I got pictures so I could tell she was happy while I was away and she was happy when I picked her up. Trista kept me informed and I could tell my dog was in good hands.”
“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.”
“We were nervous about leaving our anxious, 2yr. old Bernadoodle, Rosie, with strangers, but Yanni's responsiveness and friendly nature put us at ease. Her home looked clean and well maintained. Throughout our weekend away, Yanni sent us updates with adorable photos, and we were able to enjoy our trip knowing she was in good hands. We appreciated that she was taken on several walks. While Rosie is not playful with other dogs and prefers humans, I'm glad that she had some time with Yanni's dogs. We would not hesitate to send Rosie there again, and we're grateful she has a place to go!”
“We recently had the pleasure of having Nicolas care for our beloved dog, Mazzie, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From start to finish, it was clear that our pup was in great hands. Mazzie went on long walks, had incredible play time with their dog Sinatra, and we received tons of wonderful pictures, making our time away. It was evident that they were genuinely passionate about animals, and Mazzie was instantly comfortable, which gave us such peace of mind. Overall, we couldn’t recommend this pet sitter highly enough. They treated Mazzie as if she were their own, and we will definitely be using them again in the future. If you’re looking for reliable, compassionate, and attentive care for your furry family member, look no further!”
“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)!”
“Gabriela did an amazing job taking care of our Diesel for 4 days while we were on vacation. She was caring, responsible, and made sure Diesel was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. She kept us updated, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Diesel and treated him like her own. We came back to a happy and well-cared-for dog! I highly recommend Gabriela to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving, and dependable dog sitter. We would definitely have her take care of Diesel again! ❤️🐾”
“My dogs had a wonderful time staying with Kevin and his family. The process was super simple, and Kevin sent plenty of photos of what the pups were up to while we were away. Thank you again!!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Debra. Cooper stayed 4 days. He was a very happy camper, playing in the yard with other dogs, going for walks and just hanging out as if he were at home. Deb sent lots of pictures, and Cooper looked just like one of the family. I was afraid he would’t want to come back home, but he was glad to see us. I would recommend Deb to any of my friends and family who need someone who they can trust with their furry loved ones. Thanks for everything Deb!”

“Tamara was amazing! Highly recommend. She watched my 2 kittens for a few days. She fed them, cleaned up after them, cleaned the litter and took the time to play with them. She even took out the garbage!! Very impressed and will definitely hire again.🐾”

About: I’ve had cats my entire life and truly understand their unique personalities and needs. Cats aren’t one-size-fits-all and some want space, some crave affection, and others need time and patience to feel comfortable. I’m attentive, gentle, and always meet each cat where they are. Whether your cat is social, shy, playful, or independent, I take the time to understand their routine, boundaries, and preferences. My goal is to make every cat feel safe, respected, and cared for in their own way. I’m here to understand, support, and care for all cats

I'd love to help the best I can Ive been around animals my whole life. I can read their body language pretty well and know when they would like to play or need some space. Every animal is different. Im comfortable with all kinds of animals and do my best to provide them with comforting environment.
About: I’ve always had a special love for cats and have cared for them for friends and family. I’ve also had my own sweet angel cat, so I understand how unique every cat’s personality and needs can be. I love giving them playtime, cuddles, and plenty of love while you’re away.
“Jaylene took wonderful care of our boys while we were away. She did an excellent job sorting out the different schedules and behaviors of our very different cats. She made sure the litter boxes were clean and even vacuumed up the litter that was on the floor near the boxes. We received lots of cute photos of the boys and prompt texts with updates. We were able to enjoy our time away with the knowledge our babies were in good hands!”
“My cats were well taken care of received live updates and photos. They looks so happy and healthy. The fact that my cats interacted with Gina and Alana says alot! I will be re-booking!”

“I always choose Aleja for my dog Casper as I trust her cause when I see my dog so happy when I pick him up and the way she handles him is so well. She always sends me his pictures and text me time to time. I definitely recommend everyone to try her with her pets she's amazing in what she does. 👍”
“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!”

“This was our first time using Janny and I 100 percent plan on using her as a dog sitter in the future. She met Sam without her dog there to get him comfortable and then worked with him with her other dogs and they got a long so well. She updated me through out the day with photos and updates. I’m so lucky to have found her and have her be flexible to book literally the next day. BOOK HER ASAP!”

“Jonathan was terrific to work with. He made Gus feel welcome and at ease right away. He communicated well and made us feel at ease leaving Gus. I would easily recommend him to anyone!”
“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.”

“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.”
“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!!!!”

“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.”
“Super nice. Came when she said she would. Met all requests. Updated me with a message and photo for each visit. I’d definitely use her again! Also Clark my pup, warmed up to her immediately, which was a special bonus!”

About: Hi, I’m Kimberly! I was born an animal lover, and I’ve spent my life surrounded by all kinds of pets—from puppies and parrots to ponies and hedgehogs!

I will make sure gates are secured, leashes are buckled and doors are closed to prevent any sort of escapes.
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.
“Tanuj was absolutely wonderful with our Dog, Rondo! My husband and I both work long hours and I needed to be out of town for business, and had hired Tanuj to walk Rondo 2x daily/ check in on Rondo. Tanuj went above and beyond merely taking our pup for a walk! I received tons of pics of a very happy Dog, and Tanuj was so kind to play a bit with him after their walks as well as pick up after him. Tanuj has a very calm and patient demeanor, which Rondo responded very well to! Tanuj was extremely thorough, providing a Rover card for each visit with walk details, as well as a full report on how Rondo was doing. These cards truly put my mind at ease, as I was out of the country and several hours ahead and wasn’t able to check in with Tanuj on a regular basis. The Rover cards were helpful as I knew everything was going ok with his visits. It was also nice seeing those little cards with super cute pictures of Rondo having fun with his new walk buddy! Tanuj is the only person I would trust to care for my dog in the future - I look forward to hiring him back for future Walks and for dog sitting as well!! Highly recommend Tanuj!”

“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!”

“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.”
“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!!”
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.
“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!”
“Trista was great and my dog had a wonderful visit. I got pictures so I could tell she was happy while I was away and she was happy when I picked her up. Trista kept me informed and I could tell my dog was in good hands.”
“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.”
“Gabriela did an amazing job taking care of our Diesel for 4 days while we were on vacation. She was caring, responsible, and made sure Diesel was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. She kept us updated, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Diesel and treated him like her own. We came back to a happy and well-cared-for dog! I highly recommend Gabriela to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving, and dependable dog sitter. We would definitely have her take care of Diesel again! ❤️🐾”
“My dogs had a wonderful time staying with Kevin and his family. The process was super simple, and Kevin sent plenty of photos of what the pups were up to while we were away. Thank you again!!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Debra. Cooper stayed 4 days. He was a very happy camper, playing in the yard with other dogs, going for walks and just hanging out as if he were at home. Deb sent lots of pictures, and Cooper looked just like one of the family. I was afraid he would’t want to come back home, but he was glad to see us. I would recommend Deb to any of my friends and family who need someone who they can trust with their furry loved ones. Thanks for everything Deb!”
“Ivy was AMAZING with our new pup, Holly. Holly is a very curious pup and gets into things sometimes but she is a sweetheart. Ivy taught Holly the “stay” command and “paw” during her week stay with Ivy. Our Holly LOVED Ivy’s son and got along with their dog, too, which makes me really haopy”
“Our Izzy is a bit of a problemed child. But after this overnight sleepover, it was clear that she felt very comfortable with Chris. He made the entire process very easy and we are very happy that we found a sitter that we can trust. A+++”
“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. :)”

My husband and I have a very active goldendoodle, Bell, who is 9 years old. Neither of us remember a time when there wasn't a dog in the house growing up! We know that we are taking on no small task when we agree to be responsible for your furry friend. We will follow your instructions to a T and we realize that every doggo is their own unique individual with their own unique needs. We are pros when it comes to high-energy dogs with a mind of their own! I am a full-time parent of three and we have a dog of our own whom we are home with all day. Staying active with our doodle is an integral part of our daily routine and we would love to have even more walks, games of fetch, and tricks + treats to look forward to! We LOVE to love on your pet! In our home you can expect a minimum of two 20-minute walks a day, plus more upon request and some leash time in our back yard if they like to hang out and observe the world. We are big proponents of fetch and chase.
“Amy was fantastic! From the get go I had no reservations about leaving my pups in Amy’s care. Amy kept us informed and sent photos of our dogs throughout our time away. We came home to two happy, contented dogs that were obviously well taken care by Amy. Karen”
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.
