“Our pooch had a wonderful time hanging out at Steven's house. There is a lot of indoor space and a fenced yard to play in, and other doggy friends. Steven sent us photos every day of all the fun. Steven was very easy to communicate with and perfectly accommodated our schedule. We are so happy to have found such a wonderful situation so close to our home in Hopewell.”

About: We're a family of six—myself, my husband, our three kids, and our Great Dane, Indigo. We take only one booking at a time so your dog gets our undivided attention and care. Our home is never empty. My husband works from home daily, and our kids are lifelong dog lovers. Indigo is well-loved and spoiled, but she's truly longing for a playmate to chase around our fenced backyard. Mornings and evenings are for short, leisurely walks, while lunchtime calls for a longer jog. Being a mom of four—Indigo included—I bring patience, calm, and attentiveness to every pet I watch. I love sticking to their routine, learning their favorite toy, their favorite spot, and all the little quirks that make them who they are. My husband and I have shared our home with both big and small dogs over the years, so we're comfortable with any size, energy level, or personality. For stays longer than five days, we kindly ask that you bring their bed and an old shirt to help them feel right at home. Until we meet your four-legged family member, know that they'll be treated like one of our own. Morning walks, evening walks, and plenty of play in between. We follow your dog's routine so they feel right at home. Let us know what makes them happy. They'll have free run of our home and a warm spot to sleep at night. We've got a fenced yard and a park down the street. We do everything with them just like you would on a normal day.
“Anish & Aaheli were incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel comfortable leaving our dog in their care. I especially appreciated the frequent updates and photos throughout the day—it was reassuring to know he was happy and being well taken care of. I would absolutely recommend them and would happily book with them again!”
“Dhara and her family were friendly and caring hosts for our little man Mr. Darcy. That includes their pooch “Coco” who was playful and not territorial with a visiting doggie scampering around the house. Dhara sent plenty of updates and photos during Mr. Darcy’s visit as of an upcoming longer stay. The stay could not have gone better, and we’re very confident and comfortable leaving Mr. Darcy in the caring hands Dhara and her family going forward. Its clear that they’re “dog people” who care.”
“Carly and her family were attentive foster parents for our two higher-maintenance rescue pups. Easy initial meeting, great home with expansive backyard for the dogs to play, friendly family dog. Responsive to messages and shared great photos while we were away. Will use them again!”
“Gerry watched our 5 month old Maltipoo puppy Rocket this evening. He had a blast playing with her. Gerry sent us a bunch of updates and photos throughout the evening. She is very responsive, personable, clearly loves dogs and knows how to watch them. We will definitely use her again in the future and would recommend her to others as well. This was our first time leaving Rocket with a sitter and we got lucky in finding Gerry.”
“Grace was a lifesaver, This was very short notice less than 24 hours and my very first time leaving my doggy with a caretake. she was able to help me take care of my doggy while i was away. She even picked him up and dropped him off - he looked very happy and refreshed. I am really happy i found her and will def be using her in my future plans. She communicates all through the process and even sends me pictures of my happy dog all during his stay. Grace thank you again!! you are the BEST!! Looking forward to working with you again. thank you”
“Excellent. My dog was so happy at Lisa’s house that she was sad to come home. Lisa is very conscientious and she has a wonderful family that my dog instantly adopted (and they seemed to adopt her.) I will definitely use Lisa again. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”
“Harleny was an awesome dog sitter. She took care of Ruby as if she was her own fur baby. Ruby also loved her a lot. She also shared lots of pictures and videos, which made me feel so happy and felt she was in safe hands even if we were miles away from her. Will definitely reach out to her on our next vacation.”
“I couldn’t even possibly describe all my happiness in one post. They are the most phenomenal sitters! This was my first time using rover and they were so kind and described the process. From the meet and greet to the drop off and pick up all with ease. They sent so many pics!! And it truly put me to ease. They made me feel like I was leaving my dogs with family instead. I will definitely be working with them in the future without a doubt! And we love their dog Neo and their wonderful family!! The thought you put into taking care of them was just amazing!!!”
“Pearl is the best!! She sent me so many updates on how my pup was doing and was so accommodating to my pups needs!! I was nervous leaving her at 4 months for the first time but Pearl eased the nerves and my puppy had the best time. HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!”
“I had a wonderful experience with this dog sitter! Communication was excellent throughout my trip, and I received daily updates and pictures, which gave me great peace of mind. It was clear from the photos and updates that my dog was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Knowing my dog was in such good hands made it much easier to relax while I was away. I will definitely be booking with them again in the future and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter”

“Shifali was great with my cat Felix! She did drop-in visits with him while I was out of town for a week, and she made sure he had fresh water, a clean litterbox, and lots of attention in the form of playtime and cuddles, which I greatly appreciated. Felix absolutely hates car rides, but is also a very affectionate cat, so it was great to not have to take him somewhere to board him, but have someone come to my place where Felix could still be around all his things. Shifali sent me lots of photos with her daily updates, and I can tell Felix enjoyed his time with her.”
“Yasmine took care of our three cats while we were away. All the daily cat care routines were done well. What’s very heartening- out of all different pet sitters we had, Yasmine manages to take the best pictures! This really helps as we miss our cats when we are away.”
“Alexis did a great job sitting for Pearl. She came to meet her and get oriented to the house ahead of time. She confirmed the booking quickly and followed up with a message the day before the job. Alexis took good care of our cat and kept us updated with texts and photos. She followed all instructions and left the house clean. I recommend hiring her!”
“Stacey is amazing. Anytime we need to be away from home, we sleep better knowing that Stacey is taking great care of our fearsome twosome!! Communication is excellent and transparent, and the animals are well-cared for.”
About: I have a lot of experience volunteering at various animal shelters and caring for cats and dogs of all ages. I have had elderly, disabled and animals in need of help due to an illness in my care as well. I have always cared for stray cats since I was a child, and love spending time with them.
“Saloni did an amazing job giving Krug a home for a week! He was very well taken care of and she sent pictures and videos every day to show how he was doing. Your pet will be in good hands with her!”
“My shy cat was comfortable around Miriyam. She took good care of the cats and her schedule worked very well with my cats. She sent regular updates and left the house clean.”
“Hadija helped me out literally last minute when faced with an emergency and went above and beyond for my cat Beau. I cannot thank her enough for jumping in and helping out and being so sweet to him. I already have her booked for a separate job!”
About: I’m a certified cat lover 😻 — I’ve had cats for 10 years. Currently at one skittish shelter rescue and one foster fail. I’ve fostered kittens through my local shelter. I know cats all have their own quirks and I provide full service including litter and oral medication. I have experience handling and administering medications to nervous or aggressive cats.
About: I have had cats for over 10 years and pride myself on the relationships I build with them. I’m equipped to handle a plethora of personalities and will give your introverted cat the space it wants while spoiling a lap cat rotten with belly rubs. I have a fairly high success rate with nail clippings and am well versed in grooming services like brushing out matting and expressing glands.
“Kelley was absolutely amazing with our dogs. We have an older bulldog that needs a little extra attention and she went above and beyond with him! She sent pictures of our boys daily and was a great communicator.”
About: I’m patient, gentle, and attentive to each cat’s individual personality and comfort level. I understand that cats thrive on consistency and a calm environment, so I take the time to build trust at their pace — whether they’re social and playful or more shy and independent. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, litter box cleanliness, and behavior changes to ensure they feel safe and cared for while their owner is away. What sets me apart is my attentiveness and nurturing approach. My background in caregiving and behavioral support has helped me become highly observant, calm under pressure, and responsive to individual needs. I genuinely enjoy creating a clean, stress-free environment for pets and making sure owners feel reassured through reliable communication, updates, and photos.
“Lisa Marie was excellent with our two high-energy dogs! She was prompt and a great communicator. She sent lots of pictures of our pups so we could see they were having a great time and gave thorough reports on how the drop-in visits went. Some of the pics she sent were actually frame-worthy!! Thank you for taking such great care of Linkin and Hudson!”
“I had a lot of anxiety leaving my two senior kitties while I went on a trip for two weeks but Quin was very quick to respond to any concerns and sent no less than 3 pictures per visit! She was kind, responsible, and thorough with their complicated routines and honored any small request and answered any question I had about them. Quin is amazing and I will be booking again! :)”

“Excellent dog sitting service! Raj took wonderful care of our dog, kept us updated, and made us feel completely at ease. Reliable, caring, and highly recommended —definitely book again.”
“Poppy had such a great time here on Christmas Day! Avi was awesome and took such good care of her. She was the only small dog there that day, and there were 4 other bigger dogs but they were all so friendly and Avi was very attentive and careful with gradually introducing Poppy to them. You could easily tell that Avi loves dogs with how he interacts and talks about the dogs that were there that day. He also sent us videos of Poppy having so much fun. So much so that she was so tired even until the next day! I would never hesitate to have them care for Poppy again in the future! I highly recommend!”

“Joanna is great. She asked the right questions and was very responsive whenever I asked her one. She kept sending pictures and videos during the stay. Our dog, Luna, liked her and went back to her even after I was there to pick her up. It gives you such a peace of mind when you know someone as caring is watching your pet. We plan to use her again.”

“Our pup loved going to Laraine. She was so happy when I picked her up. We need a sitter for overnights and it looks like we found the perfect place! Laraine definitely takes all precautions and does a thorough intake. We discussed everything about Stevie and her schedule. I feel comfortable and confident leaving Stevie with her anytime.”
“Mary Jo was one of the best care takers we have had through out our travels. She gave our boy all the attention he needed. She kept us informed with lots of pictures and text messages on what they were doing and how Archie was adjusting. We used Mary Jo for two days of daycare. On our second day we had trouble with the bus tour we took which caused us many delays on completing our site seeing adventures then when we were finally on our way to pick our boy up our GPS took us to a different town which delayed us again for another hour. Throughout all these delays and my stress level rising Mary Jo kept assuring me that everything was ok and not to worry. With assuring us throughout these delays she helped me relax and go with the flow. I will definitely use Mary Jo again whenever I am in the area. Archie was very happy in her care.”

“We had a great experience with Linda! She is reliable and her communication was excellent throughout. It’s such peace of mind knowing your dogs are with someone you can count on. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy walker!!”
“Kim is absolutely wonderful, I can’t recommend her enough! She is flexible, conscientious, kind, and really cared about my quirky dog. Her communication and updates are excellent. She is incredibly reliable and I never worried about Daisy for a second while Kim was taking care of her (and I worry about everything). I was always confident that Daisy would be safe and happy, because Kim goes above and beyond to ensure that. When my dog hurt her back a day before a housesitting visit and required meds, Kim was unfazed and helped Daisy make a full recovery. She also takes the best pictures, which were such a treat to get while I was out!”
“Abigail is amazing!!! Always on time and treats your animal the best. She is very nice and listens to your request. Book her whenever you can. You will not regret it.”

I also loved getting updates and photos after every walk. It gave me such peace of mind while I was at work. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable walker!”

About: Hello! My name is Victoria and I am a part time college student, full time animal lover. I have had pets all my life (dogs, a cat, fish, hermit crabs, and a bunny) and have yet to meet an animal I don’t love. Aside from my own pets, I have cared for (overnight stays, walks, daytime drops ins) for friends and family’s pets since I was in high school. Being that I only go to school part time, I have more time to spend with and care for my dog, and hopefully your furry friend too. I have personal experience with dogs as small as chihuahuas and as big as pit bulls and do not discriminate against any of them. On top of that, I have experience with dogs as young as two months old. I look forward to working with you and your furry friends!

Don’t be afraid to brag about your pet care experience, special skills, your personal qualities, and how you will keep their pets happy and safe.

Do you have any breed preferences? Do you know dog first aid and/or CPR? Yes No Can you administer oral medication to dogs? Yes No Can you administer injected medication to dogs? Yes No Do you have experience taking care of senior dogs? Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy being active and spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent walks, check-ins, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the week. I’m organized, reliable, and attentive to maintaining each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and secure while in my care.

In a client’s home, I respect and follow each owner’s routines, feeding schedules, walking preferences, and any special instructions to help pets feel secure and maintain consistency. I am mindful of their behavior, body language, and safety during walks and visits, and I always ensure pets have fresh water, supervision, affection, and a clean environment. I understand how important trust and communication are, so I provide updates, photos, and check-ins to give owners peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is for both pets and owners to feel comfortable, supported, and confident in the care being provided.
“Gary is always on time and you can immediately tell he is a professional dog walker. He dresses and handles my 60 lbs. dogs like a true alpha. He makes sure to keep them safe while walking them. My mother-in-law drove by him while he was walking out dogs and she told me he moved them aside (there is no sidewalk) and paid attention to his surroundings.

About: ACCEPTING SAME DAY/ SHORT NOTICE BOOKINGS Hello!! I’ve had dogs and cats and pets of all kinds since I was a kid! So it’s over 20 years now 🥲 I have 5 years of experience as a volunteer for my local shelter, fostering kittens and dogs. I’ve cared for sick and skittish animals. I’ve personally had mostly small and medium shelter recuses, but I’ve cared for all types, big or small! I’ve had 3 cats for the last 10 years and I’m a certified cat lover 😻😻 I’ve also looked after guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, and even frogs, so basically if it has fur, fins, or a tank, I’ve probably fed it at some point. I’m excited to look after your fur babies as well! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I keep a flexible, full-time schedule so I can be available whenever care is needed! I’m available for overnights, regular check-ins, and walks whenever your pet needs them, including weekdays and weekends. Whatever routine your pet is used to, I can work around it!! Since I care for pets in their own home, I can keep their routine exactly as it is if you were there. The same food times, same walk schedule, same rules. I’m careful about doors and gates, keep the home secure while you’re away, and treat your space with the same respect I’d want for my own :))

“Whitney and Michael were so welcoming to our labradoodle, Georgy! Georgy loved hanging out with their two dogs. She seemed to really be treated like part of the family.”
“We were very happy with the care our dog received from Raj. Our puppy is 18 months and has never been away from us until she needed boarding for 8 nights. We received photos and videos from Raj daily which was so appreciated. We could tell that our pup was being taken care of like she was their own dog. We would definitely use Raj again and very highly recommend.”
“Our dog Rizzo had a great stay! He was a little nervous the first day/night but was treated with great care and understanding. He adjusted and had a great time! We appreciated receiving regular updates and pictures/videos while we’re away. Looking forward to another visit!”
“Our pup Puzzles had a great time with Savi! It was her first time being boarded anywhere overnight, so I was a little nervous, but Savi was so kind, very communicative and sure to provide updates during Puzzles’s stay, which was only two nights! I could tell my puppy liked her, and she loves people who love dogs. Pickup and drop off were flexible enough for my needs, and Savi was very helpful when I struggled getting the crate in and out of my car ? I’d definitely recommend her services, and will see if she’s available next time I’m out of town!”
“Karen was very kind and responsive and most importantly great with Dobby! I appreciated her updates and pictures to let me know Dobby was doing well. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Luciana was amazing with Bourbon! She took such great care of him, especially considering I needed a sitter at the last minute. She was incredibly accommodating and kept me updated every day with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Bourbon is a puppy with a ton of energy, and she handled him so well. I could tell he was happy, well cared for, and getting all the attention he needed. I would 100% recommend Luciana to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. She is truly amazing!”
“Gerry watched our 5 month old Maltipoo puppy Rocket this evening. He had a blast playing with her. Gerry sent us a bunch of updates and photos throughout the evening. She is very responsive, personable, clearly loves dogs and knows how to watch them. We will definitely use her again in the future and would recommend her to others as well. This was our first time leaving Rocket with a sitter and we got lucky in finding Gerry.”
“Excellent. My dog was so happy at Lisa’s house that she was sad to come home. Lisa is very conscientious and she has a wonderful family that my dog instantly adopted (and they seemed to adopt her.) I will definitely use Lisa again. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”
“Harleny was an awesome dog sitter. She took care of Ruby as if she was her own fur baby. Ruby also loved her a lot. She also shared lots of pictures and videos, which made me feel so happy and felt she was in safe hands even if we were miles away from her. Will definitely reach out to her on our next vacation.”
“Aubrie was terrific! She kept our dog active and provided updates during his stay that gave us peace of mind. We would be more than happy to have her watch our dog again.”
“My Olivia just Loves to stay with Nikki and Rick. I love the updates with pictures and video. She gets tons of exercise and comes home so tired from Playing all day. We recommend them 100%.”
“Excellent care! Jacquelyn and Bryan were super attentive and loving to my Ollie girl. They sent pictures and updates throughout and I felt comfortable for the entirety of the stay that she was in good hands. Highly recommend :)”
About: I’ve volunteered at Marty’s Place Senior Dog Sanctuary as well as SAVE Pet Shelter through my corporate volunteer opportunities. Additionally, my dog is incredibly stubborn and picky so I’m confident that your pet is much more well behaved. All of Yuki’s meals are prepped daily with an assortment of protein options and fresh vegetables to accommodate nutritional needs. I work a full time job, so my schedule will be a bit more limited. I am available most evenings 7pm and later and select weekends. The neighborhood I live in is very walkable and safe. Additionally, I have no concerns taking your dog to the park or other outdoor options to ensure they get the enrichment they need.
“Davina and her family were so good to Arnie I was afraid he may not come home! Very proactive and responsive communication and pictures so you know your fur baby is happy! She even made homemade doggy treats and personalized each dog’s initial! Beyond exemplary!”
“Anna and Zilin were great!! They took great care of our dog and sent the right amount of updates and pictures. She was also very flexible with changing times for drop off and pick up!”
