“Mónica and her family were awesome. I left my 4 month old puppy with them overnight and they took wonderful care of her. They have a beautiful home with a very safe fenced in back yard. The 2 dogs they have are very friendly and good with other animals. I could tell from the first meeting that Mónica understands and loves dogs. I was very nervous about leaving my little girl with anyone but I would definitely use Mónica again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a safe happy environment for your dog if you have to go away. Regular kennels can be so stressful on a dog having your dog join someones family like this for a few days is the only way to go in my opinion.”
“Leanne and Mark were awesome to work with. I was super nervous about leaving Ezra with a new pet-sitter, but they were incredible with him. Our dog played so well with their well-behaved dog - Astro - and didn't want to leave when we came to pick him up! I received pictures to let me know he was doing well, and it really eased my worry. I know that our dog got the attention and exercise that I was looking for with a pet-sitter. We would recommend them to anyone looking for a responsive and caring pet-sitter for their furry family member :)”
“Bri took very good care of Crunchie. He had a lot of fun playing with other dogs and came home very happy. Bri is very communicative and sent us photos and videos throughout the day. Would definitely have her watch Crunchie again!!”
“First time using this app and I was very anxious because I have nv left my dog with strangers but Hali made sure to send me pics and videos of uno which helped a lot. She did not disappoint 🙌🏾 Thank you Hali 🫶🏾”
“First time boarding my pup Diago with Brian and Jenny and they were very welcoming. Brian was flexible to accommodate my last minute travel plan which I very much appreciate.. he took such good care of Diago and kept me updated with pictures throughout the stay., I can tell Diago had good time with Brian and Teddy. I would highly recommend Brian and will definitely trust him with Diago anytime in future.”
“Stephanie is the best! My dog is a very anxious little Chihuahua, She fully understands and takes excellent care of our little furry baby when we are long away. She provides updates and pictures every day, giving us peace of mind knowing our little guy is enjoying her time. I was worry free during the long trip because of Stephanie. I highly recommend Stephanie We are very thankful that we found her!”
“Elizabeth was awesome every step of the way! She was accommodating and communicative during the whole stay. She and her family took great care of our puppy. She kept me updated and kept our puppy on schedule. I HIGHLY recommend her!”
About: I have taken care of pets my whole life so I can take care of puppies to elderly dogs. Most dogs love me and want to come play and pet. I also have a 2.5yr old son who absolutely LOVES dogs. We are happy to take care of dogs with special needs or is on mediations. We had a cat that just recently passed away and she would have been 19yrs old this year. She had asthma and we had to give her an inhaler 2x a day for 10 years. Happy to help your family with any special needs. We will love them like our own while you are away. I currently run my own business and work from home. I have a very flexible schedule so I can fairly easily adopt to your needs and help out wherever I can. I have a nice size home so your dog will have lots of free range all over the house. I live in a very pet friendly community so there are a ton of dogs around and a nice place to go walking the dog.
“Thank you for taking excellent care of Bob while we were away. You took the stress out of going away knowing he was enjoying his time with you. We can’t thank you enough! - The McCauleys”
“Amazing sitter. She took such good care of my older dog over the holidays and kept me updated on how he was doing. If I wasn't moving across the country I would definitely book Cindy again.”
“Jill was absolutely wonderful with Charlie and Bailey. She and her fur baby Roscoe made them feel at home. Jill was so helpful, flexible and caring with them. They were administered meds regularly, fed and cared for with great love. Her home was beautiful and very clean but still very conducive to pet care. She was in touch with pics and reports daily and they always looked happy and healthy. She lives very close so that was an extra convenience. I’m excited that we’ve found such a wonderful caregiver so close to home. We will definitely be coming back.”
“Amy was fantastic with our Goldendoodle. She was extremely responsive, provided reassuring daily updates/ pics and was so compassionate with our older pup. I am SO very grateful to have found her! I recommend her highly to anyone looking for someone that will, no doubt, make your pet feel right at home. I will definitely use her again in the future. Thanks, Amy!”
About: Hi, I’m Angie! My husband and I share a calm, child-free home with no resident pets, giving your pet a peaceful environment and plenty of individual attention. I work from home and can keep your pet’s normal routine consistent with companionship, walks, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, and quiet time throughout the day. We also have a park just a two-minute walk away! I grew up around rescue dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens through my mom’s volunteer work and previously worked for a mobile veterinarian. I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages, needs, routines, and personalities. I have a special soft spot for herding breeds—especially Aussies! I’m familiar with their intelligence, energy, sensitivity, and wonderfully quirky personalities. Our home is especially well suited for seniors, shy or anxious pets, and animals accustomed to being the only pet at home. I’ll follow your instructions closely, send regular photo updates, and provide a safe, cozy home away from home. ☺️ I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the day for companionship, walks, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, and quiet time. There’s also a park just a two-minute walk from my home, making outdoor time easy to incorporate into your pet’s normal routine. My husband and I share a clean, calm, child-free home with no resident pets, allowing your pet to settle in peacefully and receive plenty of individual attention. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, keep their routine consistent, and send regular pictures and updates. When caring for pets in their own home, I’ll treat their space respectfully and carefully follow all household and safety instructions.
“Jovani did an amazing job, I needed a sitter on really short notice and he answered almost immediately. Really amazing communication, sent pictures throughout the day, my dog was comfortable in very short time with him. He followed all directions and was always available with any questions or concerns I had!”
“Kaile did a great job with my pup! Pick up and drop was a breeze, no problems at all. I could tell when I dropped him off that he felt comfortable; he made himself right at home. She kept me informed on how he was doing by sending messages, and both pictures and videos... much appreciated!! Thanks for taking such good care of him! I will definitely rebook when a sitter is needed.”

We still miss having a dog around and would love the opportunity to welcome your pup into our home and give them all the love and attention we'd give our own. ❤️🐾 We currently have no pets and only accept one dog at a time, which means your dog gets to be the center of attention while they're here!

We want you to enjoy your time away without worrying, and for your dog to feel like they're part of our family while they're here. ❤️🐶 I work from home every day, so having a pup here fits naturally into our daily routine and means they'll have plenty of company, attention, and love throughout the day. I can easily accommodate potty breaks, playtime, snuggles, and walks around my work schedule, and they'll have someone nearby for most of the day. When the kids get home from school/camp, there are two more very enthusiastic dog lovers ready to give them even more attention! We're happy to follow your dog's normal feeding, walking, potty, and sleep schedule as closely as possible so their stay feels comfortable and familiar. We currently have no pets of our own and only accept one dog at a time, so your pup gets lots of individual attention and won't need to adjust to unfamiliar resident animals. We know how reassuring it is to actually see that your dog is happy and doing well while you’re away. During each stay, we’ll send you plenty of photos and videos so you can see how your dog is settling in and enjoying their time with us. We’ll also keep you updated on the important parts of their day, including meals, walks, potty breaks, playtime and medications when applicable. We want you to be able to relax and enjoy your time away knowing your dog is happy, comfortable, and receiving the same loving care you’d want for them at home.

“Davene is a wonderful cat sitter! She just took care of my three kitties over Thanksgiving. I appreciated how quick she was to respond to my request and her offer of an initial visit to meet the cats and get our instructions in person.

I highly recommend her and look forward to booking with her again.”
“We needed a catsitter over the weekend as our kitten was recovering from her spay.

Thank you, Batool!”
About: I just recently lost my cat Mia. She would have been 19yrs old in December. It is the longest living cat I have ever owned. I come from a cat family. I have had cats my whole life. I know how to love them, take care of them and even give them meds. My most recent cat had asthma so I had to give her an inhaler every single day 2x a day for 10 years. I don't shy away from taking care of animals that have a few health issues. I love cats at every age from kittens to elderly. Because I lost my cat recently, and I am not ready to get a new one, I would love to take care of yours. It's just me and my 2.5yr old son (who is also a cat lover) and we would be honored to take care of your cat like our beloved Mia. Thank you for considering us.
“This was our first time booking with Nicole. She was available on short notice, not only to watch our cat, but also to come by for a meet and greet before the booking. We greatly appreciated her availability on short notice. She was very friendly and took great care of our cat. We plan to reach out to her in the future when needed!”

“Sometimes you find a sitter that loves your dog as much as you do. That's Erica! Zach walked into her house like he lived there...and went straight for the basket of toys! Erica sent photos throughout the day, and we could see what a great time Zach was having. We highly recommend Erica to take care of your furry boy or girl.”
About: My two fur babies lived for 15 and 16 years. Since then, I’ve decided to love my friends and families animal's, spoil them and then give them back! They will be in great hands and receive lots of love until you return home! I work full time from home and enjoy going out for walks throughout the day. I love company of my four legged friends when doing so. I am happy to come to your house after the work day and go for a walk in your neighborhood also! Or if they just like company during the day, they can always come here! My 18 year old son also loves pets as we both miss ours very much! However, as he takes college classes and I work full-time we like the freedom that Rover has to offer while still having the opportunity to help our “neighbors” and getting our pet fix! Your animals will always be on a leash while outside and are very safe in our home.
“Achilles is a very high energy kind of dog; you have to be great to handle him! Jovani did exceptionally well with him. What made my heart smile is the way Achilles ran towards his door and also jumped for joy when I dropped him both days! Achilles is a very smart dog; if you are bad with him, he runs away from you but if you are good with him, he'll be all over you any time he sets his eyes on you! Trust me, your dog will have a great time with Jovani! I am so happy Achilles has a second home where he is loved & taken care of! I would have given a 10 star rating if there was one!!!”

Debbie is dependable, caring, and always goes above and beyond to make sure Charlie is happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: 🐾 🐾 Rates 🐾 🐾 I am happy to travel but may need to add a mileage fee for bookings outside of my 15 minute radius. All rates are negotiable. *Boarding: I only host 1 family's pets at a time. This provides a safer environment for your pet and an "at home" feel with plenty of attention, especially for reactive or aging dogs. I don't use crates or kennels but if you want to bring yours along that is fine, I also have 1 medium sized crate on hand if needed. I have a very clean home and welcome pets to feel comfortable if they would like to snooze on the sofas, bed, and we have a secure fenced in yard, but I do not leave dogs unattended in the yard. I usually take my dog to the local dog parks and nature trails and would bring yours along too. 🐾 🐾 Basic Info 🐾 🐾 I am an EMT, certified in Pet CPR + First Aid. For the past 25 years, I have been an animal caretaker. My favorite part is getting to know all of the different breeds and personalities. Your pets will be treated with love, and be as comfortable in my home as yours. I always send lots of photos at the end of each day. 🐾 🐾 My daily schedule 🐾 🐾 I work from home as a university professor. My position is remote, so I am able to work anywhere with a wifi connection. I work for rover occasionally and my schedule is typically super organized and flexible. We do at least 2 active hours per day- and we try to squeeze in as many hikes as possible. If they are up for it, I will take them on a short jog every day too.
About: I’ve been involved with animals my whole life. While having my own dog for 10+ years, I’ve spent plenty of time taking care of family, friends, and neighbors pets when they were away from home. I’ve helped with walks, feeding, potty and playtime, being someone that could let their pets have someone while they’re away. I’ve also had chances of hosting mini fundraisers to support and supply shelters in the past to give those animals some happiness while they wait for their forever homes. I’m a recent college graduate who is ready to help with your animals as I continue my search for a professional career. I currently do have a part time job that has me in from 2-8 Monday through Wednesday, and 7:30-12 on Fridays (might be till 4 some weeks). However, I’ll work to be as flexible as possible when it comes to scheduling potential stays or visits for your pets! I can help with any tasks within my capabilities. I can feed your pets, take dogs on walks, provide some play time or lounge time for the less energetic dogs. I can also give your dogs a bath if ever needed!
“Nicole. was. FANTASTIC. We can’t rave about her enough. She was communicate and sent photos and videos of our pups while we were away. We had a sense of peace and comfort knowing they were in great hands. 10/10! 5 Stars!!”
About: I'm Batool and I'm 24 years old. I grew up in a home that loved taking stray cats in and have taken care of animals for most of my life. I've walked, played with and house sat for my co-workers' and clients' dogs. I'm most comfortable with small and medium sized dogs and I love hanging out with high energy puppies. I'm reliable, I prioritise open and clear communication, and I'm available to take care of your furry friend as my own. I'm currently job searching for full-time roles, and have plenty of time during the week and the weekends to walk, play with and spend quality time with your pet. I prioritise respecting my clients' space and following the routine they maintain for their pet. For walks, potty breaks and food I ensure punctuality. I understand every dog has their own personality and needs, and I account for it in my care. If your pup just needs me to be around, I'm around. If your pup loves loads of play time, I'm ready to play.
“Our girls loved having Sharon walk them during the day! After every visit I received an update and pictures. Sharon was very professional and prompt. I’ve already booked again for April!”
About: I’ve owned two dogs of my own (1 currently - Ellie!) and I regularly dog sit two other dogs owned by a friend. I love dogs and understand their behavior very well. As a dog owner myself, I understand the peace of mind that comes with leaving your dog with someone reliable and trustworthy. I have a full time job Monday through Friday but am generally available on weekends and occasional weeknights. I’m also more flexible on Fridays. I’m comfortable with caring for dogs of all sizes. I would love to help provide potty breaks and walks and playing! For boarding, I have a roughly 30x30ft fenced yard and one 40lb friendly dog of my own.
“Reese done a excellent job with my boy Kane ,was on time with every walk,thk again for your help and I highly recommend her services if needed I will definitely use her again”
“Alicia is a diligent and professional Pet Caregiver. She walked my dog every morning while I was traveling out of the country for 20 days. She was always punctual and kept me informed each day about how much she and Toffee had walked along with pictures! She sent me constant reminders on other matters related to my pet! I highly recommend her services!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, my sisters will ask me to watch them if they are away and I have two cats I work full time 9-5 but have plenty of time in the morning and evenings. I am also available on the weekends. I also work from home on Fridays so my day is flexible I take care of two cats at my house, I have helped friends and family with pet sitting their dogs, giving them company and taking them on walks
About: I've taken care of various cats and dogs on and off for around 6 years. As my work is freeelance I have plenty of flexibility for your baby throughout the day. I currently work as a mobile freelancer, so my attention can be given throughout the day and night to your pet(s). Most scheduled care can be accomodated. I've experience sitting over a variety of pets in various houses. Most anything from rabbits to fish to furry friends is okay with me.
About: I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal. I feel the same when it comes to my own pets. My goal is to provide safe, reliable, loving care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Whether your dog loves long walks, leisurely sniff sessions, or just a friendly companion, I’m happy to match their pace and personality. I am currently a stay at home mom with teenagers so I have a fairly open schedule. On hot days I try to get walks in as early as possible for the comfort of the dog. Each pet will get love before and after walks with treats if allowed. I always follow pet owner instructions and do not deviate. I can also give meds as instructed. Please let me know if you have a special needs dog or different situation. I can accommodate almost anything. Please let me know.

“Leah took great care of our cavapoo Willie while we were on vacation! We could tell he was having a great time and that he was very comfortable from all the pictures she sent. Leah is going to be our go-to dog sitter from now on. Thank you so much Leah!”
“Leanne and Mark were awesome to work with. I was super nervous about leaving Ezra with a new pet-sitter, but they were incredible with him. Our dog played so well with their well-behaved dog - Astro - and didn't want to leave when we came to pick him up! I received pictures to let me know he was doing well, and it really eased my worry. I know that our dog got the attention and exercise that I was looking for with a pet-sitter. We would recommend them to anyone looking for a responsive and caring pet-sitter for their furry family member :)”
“First time using this app and I was very anxious because I have nv left my dog with strangers but Hali made sure to send me pics and videos of uno which helped a lot. She did not disappoint 🙌🏾 Thank you Hali 🫶🏾”
“Debbie was great with our Huey. She sent us pictures every day, which we looked forward to seeing. We have boarded him at other facilities before, and he definitely was much more relaxed when coming home. Will definitely use Debbie again! Thanks so much!”
About: A lifetime of dog care from puppies to seniors. Our last pup crossed the rainbow bridge a few months ago at 17, she left behind a fenced in yard, a pet friendly home and 2 loving caretakers. Both my Wife and I are retired. We're home most of the time except for errands or vacations. Plenty of time to give your pup the attention it's deserved. We have a completely fenced in back yard on a quite street in Maple Shade. Dogs are free to roam in and out through the magic mesh. Clean guest dogs are permitted on the furniture and beds. Routine medication can be administered (no needles).
“Thank you for taking excellent care of Bob while we were away. You took the stress out of going away knowing he was enjoying his time with you. We can’t thank you enough! - The McCauleys”
“I had a great experience with Felix and her family. Communication was clear and quick. She kept me up to date with how my dogs were doing in her care. Would recommend and would use her again!”
“Amazing sitter. She took such good care of my older dog over the holidays and kept me updated on how he was doing. If I wasn't moving across the country I would definitely book Cindy again.”
“Lou was well cared for while we were away on vacation. We booked short notice and had no issues, I would definitely use them Lauren and John again. Lou is like a child to me. He came home happy and tired after playing with the kids for a week. Thanks for being awesome and making my trip less stressful!! I would definitely book with them again.”
“Denise was incredible, our dogs loved her! We went out of the country, so we were nervous to leave them behind, but they loved their time at Denise's house. Our larger dog is dog reactive (except for his brother) and she was able to manage that very well. He also requires medication, which was handled by Denise as well. She updated us with photos during the trips and the dogs didn't want to leave!”
“Amy was fantastic with our Goldendoodle. She was extremely responsive, provided reassuring daily updates/ pics and was so compassionate with our older pup. I am SO very grateful to have found her! I recommend her highly to anyone looking for someone that will, no doubt, make your pet feel right at home. I will definitely use her again in the future. Thanks, Amy!”
“Jovani did an amazing job, I needed a sitter on really short notice and he answered almost immediately. Really amazing communication, sent pictures throughout the day, my dog was comfortable in very short time with him. He followed all directions and was always available with any questions or concerns I had!”
“Christine and her husband are wonderful people. I had no doubt my dog was in good hands when I dropped her off. She communicated with me throughout my dog’s stay and responded quickly. She also sent me pictures and videos daily. Her husband even helped me bring the crate and bag to my car when I picked my dog up seeing that I was by myself and would have a hard time carrying it all. Very nice people :)”
“Kaile did a great job with my pup! Pick up and drop was a breeze, no problems at all. I could tell when I dropped him off that he felt comfortable; he made himself right at home. She kept me informed on how he was doing by sending messages, and both pictures and videos... much appreciated!! Thanks for taking such good care of him! I will definitely rebook when a sitter is needed.”
“We were very happy with the care Luna received! David was very thorough and incredibly professional during our meet & greet. He kept us updated with daily photos and updates. A bonus was he also picked up and dropped off! We recommend using David and absolutely will be booking again.”
“Lauren and Derrick were the absolute best. I felt very comfortable with them when I went to meet them for the meet and greet before my dogs stay. Their house was clean their pets were well mannered and friendly and they sent me many pictures during my dogs stay. they are true pet lovers and I would recommend them over and over. They will be my first option anytime I am looking for pet boarding.”
“We had a great experience using Melissa! Ace was well taken care of and clearly had a great time. We really appreciated the updates and pictures. We’ll definitely rebook again in the future! 🐾💕”
