“Grace is terrific wirh our dogs. They love being wirh her. She definitely spoils them and takes great care of them. She is very responsive. We are grateful we found her through Rover.”
“Jaimie was WONDERFUL!! She gave regular updates and sent amazing pictures daily of Noodle. I was able to really enjoy my vacation knowing Noodle was being so well cared for! I highly recommend!!!”
“By far this has been Jalisa has been my best sitter so far. She kept me up to date with my fur baby’s activities and took great care of my dog. So much so, that I nearly had to drag my baby out of there. I will definitely be back.”
“Nan is a warm and caring person, and one of the best pet sitter I’ve ever met. She not only takes excellent care of the dogs but also provides them with companionship, making them feel completely at home. The nearby park is convenient for playtime, and unlike some dog sitter ，she gives dogs plenty of space to roam freely. Her family also loves dogs and treats them as friends. You can trust Nan wholeheartedly with your dog’s care.”
“Alice and her family were awesome with our beagle, Buster! He had a great time and clearly enjoyed spending the long weekend. We will definitely reach out again in the future when we need a rover for Buster!”
“Lineth was so kind and a great interim doggie parent. I felt completely safe with my 12-year-old at her home, knowing that she would be cared for as if she were her own. I got pictures and updates that made me feel less guilty about leaving her, as we went on our trip. Thanks, Lineth! Karmella says, see you soon!”
“Ryan did a great job with Spenser. Daily outings, regular updates, and plenty of photos, we always knew our dog was in good hands. When our trip ran four days longer than planned, Ryan didn't skip a beat. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog. Would recommend him to any dog owner without hesitation.”
“Bhavani and family took care of our Diesel during holiday season (9 days). Our Diesel is a large (lab) puppy with extra energy. She did a great job and I highly recommend her. She was quick to respond and very accommodating. She even helped navigate the app( for first timer like me) and from the beginning of setting up the meet and greet visit to until the last day, she was prompt in communicating, shared pictures and videos daily, followed the instructions. Bhavani family loved and cared for our Diesel like it their own. Did not bother us with anything, just shared pictures and videos which gave us peace of mind and confidence to enjoy our vacation. Her home is safe for pets and she really has the experience to handle them. I will use her service again in future ( although it is an hour away drive for us) because safety and happiness of our fur babies comes first. I highly recommend her to everyone. Thank you Bhavani.”
“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”
“My dog Phin had a fantastic visit with Louie. Louise place is great for having dog daycare with a fully fenced backyard. He clearly loves dogs and gets along with him well. I felt very good about the safety and the fun. My dog was having while I was working all day :-) I will definitely be using Louie again in the future.”
“Yvette was absolutely wonderful! This was my first time boarding with Rover and it was a great experience. She treated my dog like her own & it was obvious they had a good time! Yvette sent lots of pictures & videos, took my dog on a bunch of long walks and played fetch. She has a great set up in her house with plenty of toys and the perfect backyard for play. Would highly recommend Yvette!”
“Rwitika was great with our dog over his 10-day stay. My dog seemed to have gotten along with her pets as well (dog and cats). She kept in touch with us with updates, pictures and videos. I would highly recommend her.”
“Whitney and Mike were so wonderful with my dog, Zhenzhen. They took great care of Zhenzhen, and I think Zhenzhen really enjoyed his time. I received daily updates and photos, which made the whole process very easy. Thank you!!!”
About: I've always loved all animals since I was a kid but have a special affinity for dogs and cats. I lost my sweet pup, Ewan, in 2019 to Hemangiocarcoma (a blood cancer) and to this day I still mourn him and can feel his presence in my life. I also lost my dear cat, Figaro, last year to natural old age causes. I'm a very good dog and cat dad and miss them terribly. In the past few years, so many friends and family have asked me to pet sit their fur babies and they always remark that they know their dog or cat is in the best possible hands with me. That they can actually relax on their trip because of how responsible and devoted I am to their pets and how much their pets adore me. Everyone has been encouraging me to sign up for Rover and now I'm finally doing it! I honestly believe Ewan and Figaro guided me here in their own way to spend time with your beloved kiddos. I look forward to getting to meet you and your pets! I work remotely from home as a story consultant and my longest sessions are around 2 hours, so I have most of the day to hang out with your fur baby! If your pet is staying at my place, they'll most likely hang out with me in the large loft area where I work. So they won't be left alone (unless they're the type that needs their space!) The minute they tell me they need to go out for a walk or really just need attention, I'm all theirs. If they're used to taking naps or sleeping on the bed at night, that also is fine by me! :) If I'm at your place, of course I'll abide by your exact rules for them. I follow instructions well and provide plenty of photo updates so you can relax and know your fur baby is in good hands!
“Pam was absolutely fantastic with Cannoli! She was so kind, she sent photos and always communicated with me about him. She was sitting other dogs so he was able to play and be social, he also lived like a prince sleeping in a bed with other pups. I would definitely use Pam again in the future.”
“From the moment we met Kajal, her family, and her sweet dog Nala, we knew Toby was going to be in the best hands. She was incredibly attentive, caring, and proactive throughout the entire stay — sending regular updates, photos, and check-ins that gave us so much peace of mind while we were out of the country. What truly sets Kajal apart is how naturally she treats every dog like family. Toby has had sitters before, but we have never seen him this relaxed, happy, and at ease with anyone outside of home. He fit right in with Kajal's family and Nala, and honestly? He almost seemed a little sad to come back — which, as a pet parent, is the highest compliment you can give a sitter. It is incredibly rare to find someone who matches the love and care you pour into your own dog, and Kajal does exactly that. Toby is more than a pet to us he's family — and she treated him no differently. I would recommend Kajal without a single hesitation, not just for Toby, but for any dog lucky enough to stay with her. If you're looking for a sitter who will love your pup like their own, look no further!”
“We had a wonderful experience! Cocoa was so well cared for, and it was clear he felt happy, comfortable, and loved. Their whole family, including the kids, was involved in caring for him, which made for such a warm and welcoming environment. We really appreciated the updates and the attention they gave him. We’d absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I cannot say enough wonderful things about Thana and Subangi. They stepped in during a true emergency involving my elderly mother, and their kindness and flexibility meant more to me than I can express. They picked up Gigi right away and kept her for as long as we needed, completely removing one major worry from an already stressful situation. From the very beginning, they were in constant contact — sending thoughtful updates, pictures, and videos that reassured me Gigi was safe, comfortable, and happy. What stood out most was how genuinely they welcomed her into their home as if she were their own dog. You could see in every photo how relaxed and loved she felt. That level of warmth and care is rare. If you are looking for responsible, compassionate, and communicative dog sitters, Thana and Subangi are truly exceptional. I would trust them again in a heartbeat. 💛🐾”
“Tanvi and her husband are lovely people. Callie had a wonderful time as was evident in the lovely photos Tanvi was SO considerate in sending us. We WILL be having Callie stay with Tanvi again.”
“Bonnie and her wonderful family took great care of our Leo while we were on vacation. They followed his usual routine to ensure he was comfortable in a new setting. It took Leo a few days to adjust but after that he was his usual playful and relaxed self with them. Bonnie also provided timely updates and pictures of Leo so we had no worries while we were away. We would happily have them take care of Leo again!”

About: I have taken care of pets of all kinds since the age of 10. Families, friends neighbors always replied on me to pet sit for them. I’m very comfortable with any types of dogs or cats. I’ve taken care of all age range’s from puppies/kittens to seniors cats/dog.
“Michael was amazing with our cat pepper! He came for a meet and greet before our trip, and sent us detailed updates every visit including multiple pictures. It was clear that our cat (who doesn’t love people) loved Michael! We will definitely be using him again for our next trip!”
“Cristina took amazing care of our rabbit for the weekend while we were away. She sent multiple pictures during each check in and was very communicative. We knew our boy was in good hands. Will definitely call you for the future, thank you!!”
“Eleanor went completely above and beyond to take care of my cats! One of my cats is a too smart for his own good, and he ended up getting into a specific cabinet for the first time and eating a whole bag of treats. Eleanor found a way to keep him out of that cabinet, and she also spent extra time with him to make sure he wasn't having any digestive problems. She's also super knowledgeable about cats and was so communicative with me the whole time I was gone!”
“I was so worried about leaving my girls for the first time to go on vacation for 4 days but Laura made our worries go away. She visited them 9 and 5 every day, checked their food, water levels and played with them. She was patient with my cautious/shy 10 month old, Mila and so caring to my friendly 4 year old, Mocha. She replied to my concerns right away and alleviated my Cat Mom guilt. She also took such beautiful photos so we never wondered how our girls were doing. If you are worried about leaving your pets like I was, just hire Laura and you will not regret it! I will definitely hire her again and again.. thank you Laura!”
“Thalia is a great cat sitter! She is punctual, has great communication skills, left great notes and photos, and followed my directions perfectly. I will definitely request her services again!”
“Jasmin was a great sitter and took care of my cat when I was away. My cat warmed up to her quickly, which is something she normally doesn’t do since she’s weary of strangers. Jasmin followed my instructions and did not have any issues.”
“Celestine did a fabulous job caring for my two cats this past weekend. They took good care of them, kept them company, fed them, and cleaned up two messes they made. I really appreciated Celestine's care and would definitely hire them again.”
“Rebecca has been our go-to sitter for several trips now, from long weekends to two weeks away, and we've never felt so comfortable leaving our fur babies in her care. Most recently she went above and beyond, and saved us a potentially unexpected multi-hour round trip home because she's so amazing! I couldn't recommend her more.”
About: I have never been without cats in my whole life. Currently, I live with four, ranging from young kittens to my dearest old lady. I’m comfortable caring for cats with all kinds of personalities, whether they’re playful and social, independent and particular, or shy and in need of a little extra patience. I’m experienced with multi-cat households, feeding routines, litter box care, play and enrichment, and giving cats the time and space they need to feel comfortable with someone new. I’m also comfortable with senior cats and pets who need extra attention, including medication, special diets, and individualized care instructions. When caring for your cat, I want to do more than just make sure their food and litter are taken care of. I like getting to know their individual personality and routine so they can feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your cat wants a playmate, a lap to sit on, or someone to quietly keep them company, I’m happy to meet them where they are.
“I had never used a cat sitter before and was really anxious about finding one and having a stranger take care of my cat. Many of my coworkers used and recommended Rover, which is what brought me to the app, and eventually to Mersades. I chose her because she had incredible ratings and reviews, and she was so sweet when I reached out to her for availability. I told her how I was anxious and she met up with me via video call on the app and it soothed all my worries. She was also a fantastic cat sitter. My cat Luna loved her, and she took incredible care of Luna and sent me lots of pictures everyday that eased my anxiety. I immediately booked her for the next trip I had planned and it went equally as well. I will forever check her availability first now when I need someone to watch my cat. Highly recommend her.”
“Ashley was great with my cat and provided daily updates with lots of photos. I can tell she has a lot of love for animals and felt comfortable knowing my cat was well taken care of.”
About: Living in New Brunswick with some friends. I have cats but I'm not allowed dogs in our house. Growing up with dogs it's hard to be away from them. Taking care of someone else's pets would be a pleasure and would brighten my day. I walk to work everyday and live outside Rutgers campuses and near some beautiful parks, giving me tons of places to bring your dogs and the stamina to keep up with them on long walks.My oldest dog back home is a big pitbull, so big dogs are right up my alley, and both my dogs can get quite rowdy so I know how to handle animals when they get out of control. I'm currentky working at later in the day and at night so I'm available during the day. I ride my bike or walk to appointments so I'm looking for clients in New Brunswick and Highland Park. I enjoy going on quiet walks in places without too much hustle and bustle. If your pet gets overwhelmed in rowdy environments, you can count on me to give the a calm yet playful day.
“This was our first time working with Maya, and she was fantastic! She was so attentive to our cats and kept us updated throughout the whole trip, which made it easy to relax and enjoy our time away. Great communication from start to finish! you can tell she really cares. We’ll definitely be booking her again!”
About: I’m the proud mama to a beautiful black cat named Cosmic, and her health, happiness, and comfort are always my top priority. I bring that same level of love and care to every animal I look after. I’m experienced with daily pet care including litter box cleaning, brushing with gentle, high-quality tools, engaging playtime, and administering medication— including oral meds via syringe when needed. I’m fun, patient, caring, and deeply passionate about animal well-being. I truly believe animals are an essential and healing part of our lives, and I treat every pet as if they were my own.
About: I adopted 2 kittens (one of which I fostered) from an animal shelter I use to volunteer at. I have experience from not only my fur babies but also from volunteering at a shelter as well. I also actively foster kittens :)!!
About: I’m a dedicated cat lover who provides attentive care while you’re away. I have experience feeding, cleaning litter, and spending quality playtime with cats. Working from home allows me to be flexible and present, so your cat gets consistent care and attention. I work from home and am flexible to care for your cat anytime before 6 PM, giving them attention, play, and a clean litter box. I love spending quality time with cats and making sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I provide playtime, keep their litter and food clean, and follow all care instructions closely. Even short visits are full of attention and love!
“Kelly updated me almost daily of activities and sent pictures. Cats are young and Zeus was shy the first week but eventually came out. We were all back to normal routine next day. Kelly followed all our requests for feeding,etc. Only complaint with Cat in a Flat was that I could not contact anyone during scheduling and negotiating rate.”

“This was not only my first time with Julissa but my first time using Rover. Wow did she make an amazing impression! My puppy Luna loves her! She was very response and immediately replied to any questions I had, or If I was just checking in. She was timely having everything ready for drop off and pick up. She followed my instructions for a puppy that has stomach problems. Not to mention she sent pictures of my puppy throughout the day which was so thoughtful. I picked up a tired happy pup! Will definitely be using Julissa in the near future!”
“Alice is great with my special needs senior dog Porter. He is happy every time he sees her, and she is very responsible with catering to his special needs, allergies and medical conditions. She is very communicative and lets me know any changes observed in Porter during his stay, plus sends cute pictures regularly. I trust her with my deaf/blind senior completely.”
“Lineth is a great sitter. We left Pie with Lineth for the day and she took really good care of him. Usually Pie takes a lot of time to adjust to a new person but Lineth was able to bond with him quite quickly. That's a testament to her skills. Next time we need a sitter for Pie in NJ, we will definitely reach out to Lineth. Also Lineth was wonderful at keeping us updated. Even though Pie was with her for a few hours, we got regular pictures and texts. Fantastic experience overall.”
“Myah had a great time at Jamie's playing with Ollie! This was her first time and she was excited to be going when we pulled in the driveway. She came home very happy and tired!”
“Lupe is fantastic!! He is so good with our pup and we feel so grateful to have found him!! He is so friendly and welcoming. He goes above and beyond to make sure all of our dog’s needs are met. We had an emergency and he was super accommodating and made sure that our dog was in good hands. He has an awesome large yard that our dog loves to run in. Highly recommend!”
“Megan took such great care of our 1.8-year-old energetic pup, Jelly! 🐻❄️🤍 She stayed with Megan for about 4 hours, and we felt comfortable knowing she was in good hands. Megan was attentive, caring, and made sure Jelly had a great time. would happily book with her again!”
About: I brought my rescue dog, mochi, home when I was 11, and raised him till he was 18! Mochi gave me lots of experience of how to properly care for a senior dog. Ever since he passed away, I’ve been taking care of my friend’s dogs and cats. I always have lots of fun and decided to make it my side hustle:) I am currently working part time so I will be able to give your pets lots of love and attention. My schedule is flexible so I can accommodate to when your pets need to stay at my home. My apartment door, windows, and main building door are always locked. I will make sure your pets get well fed on time and always have clean water ready. I love cuddles and walking!
“From the meet and greet to the stay next day, Kajal was very warm, friendly and caring towards Romeo. She made us very comfortable to leave our little one with her. Kajal made sure she sent us pictures and videos and kept us upto date with him. I know Romeo was in good and trusted hands and would definitely leave Romeo with her in the future.”
“Luciana was absolutely wonderful with Bheem and Bhairav! She was incredibly accommodating, especially since my request was last minute, and took such great care of them throughout the day. She even gave them a little pedicure, took them on walks, and regularly shared pictures and updates, which gave me complete peace of mind. Both dogs looked super comfortable, happy, and clearly enjoyed their day with her. Highly recommend Luciana ... reliable, caring, and genuinely great with dogs!”
“Ginnette is Wonderful!!! I am very cautious when it comes to the proper care of my 2 Boys (having some extra physical needs and diet requests.) We started with a meet & greet, and then a day care. Ginnette is everything I am looking for in a pet sitter–providing a calm, secure, safe and loving environment…she gained my trust very quickly. While worried they would be nervous in a new home, within an hour she sent me a picture of them super relaxed sleeping on her sofa. I sincerely appreciated the pics / updates I received during their stay…I know she took extra time to really get to know them. They were happy when I picked them up and Fozzie actually cried for Ginnette when she walked out of the room! I agree with another review that called her a “Dog Whisperer”! I am thrilled to have Ginnette care for the Boys for future stays!”
“Such great care of my Brownie even when he wasn’t feeling his best! Pam is a great communicator, sends pics, asks questions and even her dad is friendly! Will definitely be booking again!”
“Suna provided outstanding and loving care to Buddy while he was with her. Buddy enjoyed going to her home every day and playing with her sweet Maltese, Mimi. The two dogs became forever friends! Suna communicated with us daily, providing text and photo updates, clearly indicating that Buddy was well taken care of during his time with her. I highly recommend Suna if you're looking for someone who will go the extra mile to insure that your beloved pet is safe and happy, whether for overnight stays or daytime care.”
“Bonnie was extremely caring for my Bruno Mars. He was happy and tired when he got home which was great. I an very thankful she was able to take him on short notice. I cant thank her enough”
“Once again, the booking was smooth. I needed dog care for a Saturday in June. Dhruvit responded quickly and was accommodating to the time change. We truly appreciate the great service and care you give to our Charlie. We look forward to the booking in July. Thanks again. Nicole”

About: I have over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for a 60 lb Labrador Retriever, whom I raised from puppyhood. During that time, I learned how to understand dog behavior, body language, exercise needs, and daily routines at every stage of life. I also have experience caring for cats and understand that every pet has its own unique personality. I take the time to build trust, whether a pet is playful, shy, or needs extra patience. Although I no longer have my Labrador, the experience gave me a strong foundation in responsible pet care. I treat every pet as if they were my own, following each owner’s instructions carefully to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m a faculty at Rutgers, and most of my teaching is online, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend a lot of time at home. This makes it easy for me to provide pets with regular attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I plan my schedule to ensure every pet in my care receives consistent supervision and the care they need. I live in a clean, pet-friendly two-bedroom apartment near downtown New Brunswick. I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable, and calm environment where they can relax and feel at home. I follow each pet’s regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s normal routine to help reduce stress. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and regular updates with photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe and well cared for.
About: Greyhound lady with over a decade training and caring for dogs, including certifying two rescued racetrack greyhounds as therapy dogs through Bright and Beautiful Therapy Dogs. I've cared for five rescue dogs over the years — four greyhounds and a pug mix — handling everything from puppy adjustment to senior care, including medications, mobility needs, and end-of-life support. I use calm, positive-reinforcement handling and I'm skilled at reading a dog's stress or comfort level in real time, so walks stay relaxed and enjoyable. I'm also experienced with nervous or reactive dogs, having safely de-escalated an unleashed dog confrontation while working a mail route. My own dog takes 1.5 hours walk per day. We love Donaldson Park and the Highland Park Meadows, Johnson Park, Cheesequake and Morristown National Park for treats. Safety comes first on every walk. I read each dog's body language and comfort level before we even leave the door, and I adjust pace, route, or duration accordingly — a skill I built training two rescued greyhounds as certified therapy dogs. I stay alert to hazards like other loose animals, traffic, and extreme heat, and I know how to calmly de-escalate a tense situation if one arises. I treat every pet with the same patience and care I give my own rescue dogs, and I communicate clearly with owners before and after each walk so they always know how their pet is doing.
“Laura is great with dozer. He has recently been having some health issues and she has been very sensitive to needs and always communicates with me about his energy level and vibe for the day. Her help and consistency is greatly appreciated!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for most of my life and have cared for two dogs, giving me years of hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, and providing lots of love and attention. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve also dog sat for family, friends, and neighbors, making sure their pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away. I’m patient, dependable, and treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. Whether your pup needs exercise, companionship, or a consistent routine, I’ll provide the loving care they deserve. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I work from home most days, so I’m able to provide consistent walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. On the 1–2 days a week I go into the office, I plan ahead with early morning and evening care to ensure pets stay on their normal routine. I also stay communicative with pet parents so they always know their pet is safe and well cared for, even on my busier days. I don’t have dogs at home, and I live in an apartment with a large lawn and also live close to a park, which makes it easy to provide regular walks, potty breaks, and playtime. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and comfortable space with plenty of attention and exercise. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely and stick to the pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free.
About: I’ve grown up walking, feeding, cleaning up after, and caring for my 2 big dogs and 2 cats. It became my favorite part of my days, and I want to extend this love to more animals! I’m a university student whose currently home for the summer, and have a lot of flexibility for weekdays and weekends, excluding Mondays & Tuesday’s from 3-6! I don’t provide services within my own residence but can help with any care within one’s home: walking, feeding, cleaning up after, general pet-sitting, or just one-on-one dog/cat time!
About: Hi! I’m Quin. I grew up with cats, dogs, a bunny, and was a member of an Alpaca 4-H club since I was in 3rd grade, I don’t know a world without animals. I genuinely love getting to know people’s pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. My current house currently boasts four cats of various ages, from kittens to an old lady, and a young Australian Shepherd mix. Because of this, I'm very comfortable with both cats, dogs, and households that have multiple pets. I've also spent a large part of my life caring for senior animals and pets who need a little extra attention. I've managed medications, special diets, frequent potty breaks, and other individualized care, including caring for a previous dog with a seizure disorder. My approach to pet care is to meet each animal where they are. I love matching their energy, whether that means a long walk and plenty of playtime, some quiet companionship, or simply giving a shy pet the time and space they need to become comfortable with me. I'm detail-oriented and happy to follow specific routines and care instructions because I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is being cared for exactly the way you would care for them. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and cat sitting. I'm happy to care for pets who need extra attention or have special routines, and I always want to make your time away as easy and worry-free as possible. Most importantly, I want your pets to feel like they have a friend looking after them while you're gone. If that sounds like the kind of pet care you need, please reach out to me! I am currently a part-time student with another job on top of Rover, so please take a look at the calendar to book with me! Pet safety is my top priority. I am familiar with dealing with cats and dogs who don't get along and make sure not just to stop dangerous scenarios but also to prevent them altogether.

“Alyssa was amazing with my Bernese Mountain Dog, Moose! We did a meet & greet first to make sure he wasn't too big for them to walk, at 102 lbs it can be intimidating, but it went great. They sent wonderful photos and updates during every walk, which gave me total peace of mind. Moose was so happy and tired after. I'll definitely book again!”
About: I've taken care of pets for friends and relatives numerous times in the past. Now looking to do the same on here and get paid for what I'm good at. I used to have a cat of my own so they're my specialty, but I do good with dogs too. I'm always available, so hit me up whenever you need and we'll work out times and such. Going on vacation? Sudden family plans? I got you covered. I don't offer boarding since my relatives aren't cool with it, but I can easily come to you just fine. All I need to know is when to walk the dog, when to change litter for the cats, that sort of thing.
About: I have always had a love for animals. I had own and dog, and currently have beautiful, amazing, cat. I do not have any formal training. I am just an animal lover in life.

I work a hybrid schedule, and with enough notice, I’m very flexible and happy to work something out. My home is clean, safe, and well-maintained. I’m also happy to provide any supplies or items your pet may need upon request. We can work together

I can walk or care for animals any time of day I am able to spend any amount of time with animals that they need, providing playtime and attention, and I will walk them at any time!
“I can’t say enough good things about Shannon- such an amazing person who went above and beyond to care for our silly boy Leo during a last minute need. I’m a veterinarian and I have a lot of specific needs, but she stepped in and cared for our boy just as her own—even better than I could have asked for. You would be lucky to have her looking after your pet! Thank you for everything, Shannon!!”
About: I have fostered over 20 puppies/small dogs in San Diego for the last 2 years and moved to NYC. I have my own Chihuahua terrier mix baby, NooNoo, who has epilepsy so I am familiar with giving medicine and constant attention. I have taken care of friends' cats and dogs for more than 3 weeks. I love taking pictures so I will always provide constant updates if requested. I work remotely so I am available most days and can provide walks, cuddles, belly rubs, playtime, and attention. I work from home so I am available at most times. I will be in contact and can send pictures frequently. I love all animals and will be happy to spend time with your fur-friend :) I love animals and it will be my pleasure to spend time with your pet! I am a great communicator and will always send updates. I will play with your pet and give them scratches and whatever else is needed.
“Ashley did phenomenal and went above and beyond when I needed someone in rather short notice. She always kept me informed and sent plenty of pictures of my pup while I was away. She is able to easily establish a great connection with animals. You can tell she has a genuine compassion and love for animals, especially when they are apart from their owner. Ashley is very professional, friendly, and skillful at caring for animals. Despite having a prior engagement to attend a wedding, she came back afterwards late at night to care for my dog when my flight was delayed. I highly recommend Ashley as she is an excellent care giver.”
About: I grew up with dogs and helped raise two litters of bernese mountain dog puppies. Six years ago, I adopted my own dog, Harley, who is a vizsla/catahoula leopard dog mix. Through my experience caring for Harley, I’ve acquired skills to help fearful dogs enjoy walks and adventures while helping dogs learn to feel safe and secure in their environments. I am currently a graduate student and have a very flexible schedule for dog walking! Walking dogs is one of the best parts of my day! I care for my client’s dogs the same as I do my own. Building trust with dogs through patience and kindness will set a strong foundation for many fun times together!

“Jaimie was WONDERFUL!! She gave regular updates and sent amazing pictures daily of Noodle. I was able to really enjoy my vacation knowing Noodle was being so well cared for! I highly recommend!!!”
“By far this has been Jalisa has been my best sitter so far. She kept me up to date with my fur baby’s activities and took great care of my dog. So much so, that I nearly had to drag my baby out of there. I will definitely be back.”
“Nan is a warm and caring person, and one of the best pet sitter I’ve ever met. She not only takes excellent care of the dogs but also provides them with companionship, making them feel completely at home. The nearby park is convenient for playtime, and unlike some dog sitter ，she gives dogs plenty of space to roam freely. Her family also loves dogs and treats them as friends. You can trust Nan wholeheartedly with your dog’s care.”
“Lineth was so kind and a great interim doggie parent. I felt completely safe with my 12-year-old at her home, knowing that she would be cared for as if she were her own. I got pictures and updates that made me feel less guilty about leaving her, as we went on our trip. Thanks, Lineth! Karmella says, see you soon!”
“Ryan did a great job with Spenser. Daily outings, regular updates, and plenty of photos, we always knew our dog was in good hands. When our trip ran four days longer than planned, Ryan didn't skip a beat. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog. Would recommend him to any dog owner without hesitation.”
“Bhavani and family took care of our Diesel during holiday season (9 days). Our Diesel is a large (lab) puppy with extra energy. She did a great job and I highly recommend her. She was quick to respond and very accommodating. She even helped navigate the app( for first timer like me) and from the beginning of setting up the meet and greet visit to until the last day, she was prompt in communicating, shared pictures and videos daily, followed the instructions. Bhavani family loved and cared for our Diesel like it their own. Did not bother us with anything, just shared pictures and videos which gave us peace of mind and confidence to enjoy our vacation. Her home is safe for pets and she really has the experience to handle them. I will use her service again in future ( although it is an hour away drive for us) because safety and happiness of our fur babies comes first. I highly recommend her to everyone. Thank you Bhavani.”
“My dog Phin had a fantastic visit with Louie. Louise place is great for having dog daycare with a fully fenced backyard. He clearly loves dogs and gets along with him well. I felt very good about the safety and the fun. My dog was having while I was working all day :-) I will definitely be using Louie again in the future.”
“Yvette was absolutely wonderful! This was my first time boarding with Rover and it was a great experience. She treated my dog like her own & it was obvious they had a good time! Yvette sent lots of pictures & videos, took my dog on a bunch of long walks and played fetch. She has a great set up in her house with plenty of toys and the perfect backyard for play. Would highly recommend Yvette!”
“Rwitika was great with our dog over his 10-day stay. My dog seemed to have gotten along with her pets as well (dog and cats). She kept in touch with us with updates, pictures and videos. I would highly recommend her.”
“Whitney and Mike were so wonderful with my dog, Zhenzhen. They took great care of Zhenzhen, and I think Zhenzhen really enjoyed his time. I received daily updates and photos, which made the whole process very easy. Thank you!!!”
About: I've always loved all animals since I was a kid but have a special affinity for dogs and cats. I lost my sweet pup, Ewan, in 2019 to Hemangiocarcoma (a blood cancer) and to this day I still mourn him and can feel his presence in my life. I also lost my dear cat, Figaro, last year to natural old age causes. I'm a very good dog and cat dad and miss them terribly. In the past few years, so many friends and family have asked me to pet sit their fur babies and they always remark that they know their dog or cat is in the best possible hands with me. That they can actually relax on their trip because of how responsible and devoted I am to their pets and how much their pets adore me. Everyone has been encouraging me to sign up for Rover and now I'm finally doing it! I honestly believe Ewan and Figaro guided me here in their own way to spend time with your beloved kiddos. I look forward to getting to meet you and your pets! I work remotely from home as a story consultant and my longest sessions are around 2 hours, so I have most of the day to hang out with your fur baby! If your pet is staying at my place, they'll most likely hang out with me in the large loft area where I work. So they won't be left alone (unless they're the type that needs their space!) The minute they tell me they need to go out for a walk or really just need attention, I'm all theirs. If they're used to taking naps or sleeping on the bed at night, that also is fine by me! :) If I'm at your place, of course I'll abide by your exact rules for them. I follow instructions well and provide plenty of photo updates so you can relax and know your fur baby is in good hands!
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I cannot say enough wonderful things about Thana and Subangi. They stepped in during a true emergency involving my elderly mother, and their kindness and flexibility meant more to me than I can express. They picked up Gigi right away and kept her for as long as we needed, completely removing one major worry from an already stressful situation. From the very beginning, they were in constant contact — sending thoughtful updates, pictures, and videos that reassured me Gigi was safe, comfortable, and happy. What stood out most was how genuinely they welcomed her into their home as if she were their own dog. You could see in every photo how relaxed and loved she felt. That level of warmth and care is rare. If you are looking for responsible, compassionate, and communicative dog sitters, Thana and Subangi are truly exceptional. I would trust them again in a heartbeat. 💛🐾”
“Tanvi and her husband are lovely people. Callie had a wonderful time as was evident in the lovely photos Tanvi was SO considerate in sending us. We WILL be having Callie stay with Tanvi again.”

“Willian was amazing with my dog, Frisco! He gave him so much care and attention, and I could tell Frisco was happy and comfortable the whole time. I really appreciated the updates and photos that gave me peace of mind while I was away. Frisco came home relaxed and well taken care of. I’ll definitely be booking with Willian again — highly recommend!”
“Kavya watched our pup Loki for 3 days while we attended a family wedding. Loki is always with us so he is not the best at staying with new people, but when we picked him up and from the pictures and videos she sent, Loki was very happy, which meant we were very happy. Highly, highly recommended Kavya to anyone looking for a responsive and caring sitter for their fuzzy kids.”
“This is my 4th time using Ekaterina and her family and they are all so wonderful! They are the only people I trust to leave my Loretta with. She constantly sends pictures and updates. My Loretta gets endless love, kisses, and snuggles with her children! If you want the best possible care and love for your pet, please go with Ekaterina!”
“Our Lab Peyton absolutely loved her stay with Nikki! She had a blast playing with the fellow dogs that were also vacationing at Nikki's and we loved receiving updates with photos throughout our night away! We would definitely use Nikki again!”
