“Caroline and her family looked after Clover really well. He always looked happy in the videos and pictures that were sent; he especially looked happy playing with other dogs and also playing with her son. He is always happy to go into her house when I leave him off.”
“I can’t express how amazing my dog’s stay was with Maisha. I literally won’t book with anyone else! She sent photos and video and was incredibly responsive. My dog had a blast during his stay. I will book again and you should too if you’re reading this!”
“Jennifer is so great with Brioche. She is kind and patient and takes the best pictures, letting me know Brioche loves being in her care. Brioche is a tough dog, due to his special needs but Jennifer is someone id trust him with 10x over. Thank you!”
“A+ Kind, attentive, communicative, flexible. The photo of our dog Charlie sprawled out in front of the fireplace within an hour of us dropping him off says it all. He feels safe, secure, relaxed, and loved. Tynesha has become Charlie’s resort vacation destination anytime we go away.”
“Ekaterina was amazing with Zoey! She gave me lots of updates and took such great care of her. She did an amazing job and her kids were so gentle with Zoey too! During Zoey’s stay, she had to take medication and was healing from a cut on her leg - Ekaterina did an amazing job making sure she was being cared for properly. I would love for her to watch Zoey in the future again!”
“Tanacka was a pleasure to have her to take care of my dog, she is very sweet and kind, she kept me updated all the time with photos and pictures, he was treated as part of the family very kindly and with compassion I would definitely recommend her to any one looking for a kind and caring sitter for their pets”
“Amanda sent us lots of photos and had everything packed up and ready when we arrived to pick her up. Our girl seemed happy as can be in the photos and when we picked her up. Thanks Amanda!”
“Gio and Starry were absolutely incredible! This was our first time using Rover and they made the entire experience feel so easy, comfortable, and reassuring. They sent so many photos and thoughtful updates, which meant the world to me. I could truly see how loved and cared for Phoenix was the whole time.”
“Veronica looked after our 2 cats very well. She kept me updated on their day-to-day activities and eating habits. Our cats got along very well with her cats as well. Highly recommend!”
“Amazing! I have nothing but good words to say about my experience with Stacia! I was impressed with her communication before and after booking, and she was SUPER thorough in her updates while my little frenchie, Jackson, was in her care! Jackson was having so much fun, I don’t think he wanted to leave just yet :) Will absolutely book again, for boarding and just for a little day break for Jackson, too! 100% recommend”
“Sulay was absolutely wonderful with my dog. I left him with her for the weekend and she sent me all the updates, she’s so responsible, her boys loved him, and her dog Hunter was really good with him too. I feel totally confident in her abilities and would absolutely leave him with her again. She’s so sweet, book her for your next dog sitting!”
“Jhajanny was awesome once again! I had a last-minute bit of home construction being done, and she was able to take my pets. They were cared for, and I got so many cute pictures of them!”
“I’ve booked with Naomi many, many times now. She’s wonderful and Kubo loves to go back. She takes care of him and loves him like he’s her own. Not to mention that Naomi is so kind and sweet herself. She updates me about how Kubo is doing each time I book with her and always welcomes him back with open arms, even if I request a last-minute booking. Definitely book with her. She’s the best. :-)”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog Gigi received! Gigi is a micro American Bulldog, and this was the second time she stayed with them. From the moment we dropped her off, we knew she was in great hands. They were attentive, communicative, and genuinely cared about making sure Gigi was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. We received updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Gigi came home relaxed, healthy, and clearly loved during her stay. It’s not always easy to find someone you can fully trust with your pet, but they exceeded our expectations both times. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. Thank you again for taking such amazing care of Gigi—we will definitely be booking with you again! 🐾❤️”
“I appreciate Miss Natalie so much. Such a caring and loving dog sitter. She kept me updated and kept me at ease while I was 3,000 miles away. For my first time leaving my dog with someone I didn't really know,it felt like I was dropping my child off to school for the first day, lol! The good thing about it all as well, is that he came home and acted his regular normal self, there was no change in Behavior! That's how I know that he was comfortable being there and I will definitely use her again!”
“Basil loved staying with Daisy and Phil! They took amazing care of our Basil, and sent us photos and updates on Basil daily. Basil gets (kind of a lot of) pills each morning, and they did a great job dealing with her specific special needs. Will be returning, thank you!”
About: When your fur baby is with me, they are treated exactly like family. I strictly follow any instructions you leave behind and will provide regular photo updates for your peace of mind with whichever service you decide to book. Going away on Vacation? I am located only 5 minutes away from EWR Newark Airport for close drop off & pick up. I do have one older pet in my home that does not interact with any pets that come for boarding or day care. 🏡 For Boarding (Small Dogs up to 40 lbs): Because I work from home at the moment full-time, your pup will never be lonely! We will have days packed with fun, including plenty of playtime in my fully fenced backyard, exciting car rides to a beautiful local park, and cozy movie-night cuddles. I specialize in smaller pets to ensure they get the dedicated space and attention they deserve. I currently have open availability! 🥰 Because I am fully dedicated to helping others care for their dogs, pet care is my daily routine! My day is entirely structured around the needs of the pups in my care. Mornings start early with fresh water, breakfast, and a neighborhood walk to stretch our legs. Throughout the day, I maintain a consistent schedule of potty breaks, lots of play time, and plenty of love. Whether you are at work or on vacation, your pup is my top priority from sunrise to bedtime. I love letting your fur babies outside to burn off their energy, and when it's time to wind down, I'm always ready for lots of playtime and cuddles. In my home, I have a fenced yard in my apartment for pets who will stay the day with me.

Cat caregivers near you - Hillside
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and understanding I bring to every pet. As a psychology student, I’ve developed strong skills in observing behavior, recognizing body language, and responding with patience and empathy. While animal behavior and human psychology aren’t the same, those skills help me better understand each pet’s unique personality and comfort level. I’ve also grown up surrounded by animals and have always helped care for my family’s pets. I’m a proud dog and cat owner myself. I’ve raised my dog since she was a puppy, so I understand the time, consistency, and love that goes into helping a pet feel safe and happy. I also care for my cat, which has taught me to appreciate different personalities and care needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and my goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Zhiting did an amazing job caring for my two cats. She was prompt to respond and was more than willing to help me out last minute. My cats warmed up to her immediately which was apparent on all the photos she sent over. I would definitely book with her again!!!”
“Rachel is AMAZING!! She took such good care of our kitties, playing with our social boy and taking care of our nervous shy boy. She also kept us informed of everything going on with detailed descriptions of her visits including a video. Can’t recommend her enough.”
“Alison was amazing! She communicated well, sent so many pictures and was super consistent. I have a pesky cat in the bunch that doesn’t like other people and she wasn’t afraid to do what needed to be done. I can’t adequately explain how great it is to know your animals are taken care of while you’re away. Great peace of mind.”
“Shannon was absolutely amazing with our 5 year old pitty. She was so thorough at our meet and greet over Quintley’s routine and needs. Shannon was there twice during the day at exactly the time we asked for. She kept me updated with messages and pictures. Her communication is fabulous. There was no question that our pup was in great hands. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again. The absolute best!!”
About: What sets me apart is my ability to be both caring and dependable in moments that require real attentiveness—something I’ve developed through years of working in community programs, internships, and leadership roles. Whether I was leading a team project, supporting a friend, or organizing events through my cycling club, I’ve always been someone who shows up fully and handles responsibility with care. I bring that same energy to pet care—tuning into each animal’s needs, whether it’s keeping up with an energetic puppy or being patient with a senior pet. I’m calm, communicative, and take pride in making both pets and their owners feel secure and understood. As a recent grad preparing for law school and transitioning into the workforce, my schedule is relatively flexible—especially during the weekdays. Pet care has been a grounding and fulfilling part of my routine. It gives me the chance to stay active, present, and connected in a meaningful way while balancing studying and professional goals. I genuinely enjoy the rhythm of it, and I treat every booking with the same level of care and responsibility I bring to my academic and work commitments. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I love making sure everyone—pets and people—feels comfortable, safe, and at ease. That’s something I’ve really practiced through leading Catching Wind, the cycling and wellness club I started in college. Creating a space where people felt welcomed, supported, and looked after—whether they were riding for the first time or just needed community—taught me a lot about patience, attentiveness, and how to care for different needs. I bring that same approach to pet care. I listen closely, follow instructions, respect your space, and aim to create an environment where your pet feels loved, relaxed, and understood.
“Veronica went above and beyond taking care of our cat Cobble while we were out of town! She is super communicative and overall makes me feel so at ease knowing he was in such good care :)))”
“Deliris was very communicative and accommodating with taking care of our cats; I never once worried about them in her care! She sends great pictures and very detailed updates. I recommend choosing her to sit your babies!”
“Of course! Here’s a warm, concise review you could leave: Joanne took wonderful care of my cat while I was away. She was reliable, communicative, and made sure he had everything he needed during each visit. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter! 🐱💙”

“Amanda was very responsive and on time. Puma is shy and initially was hiding but with Amanda’s patients and love for animals puma eventually warmed up. I would definitely book her again.”
“Bianca is a wonderful cat sitter! She is reliable and very good with communication, and she kept us updated while we were away. She took great care of our kitties. Thanks again Bianca!”
“Joseph is the best. He’s super communicative, great with photos and updates, and goes out of his way to make watching after our cats easy on us and them. We don’t even consider looking for someone else due to his professionalism.”
“We left our cat Maisel with Trisha for a few days recently and she was days absolutely wonderful with our pet. She goes above and beyond for your animal knowing how stressful it can be for you to leave them. I can’t recommend Trisha enough.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 2 years and truly love caring for animals. Along with my experience providing overnight care, I currently work as a veterinary assistant, where I care for both dogs and cats in a professional setting. Working in vet medicine has helped me become comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, personalities, and needs, including senior pets and anxious animals. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and routine to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work full time, so I fit pet care around my work schedule. I’m available on weekends and some Thursdays, which I’ve listed in my availability. I make sure to plan ahead so I can be consistent and give pets proper care and attention when I’m with them. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to help the pet feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get walks and bathroom breaks, and receive plenty of attention and playtime. I also keep their environment clean and safe and follow any specific instructions provided by the owner.
“Amber is the best! She takes very good care of our girl and I love receiving her pics from their walks. I feel so good knowing that our pup is in Amber’s care. Communication is on point as well.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Hillside
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and truly enjoy bonding with pets because they feel like a safe space and the most genuine companions. I have 4+ years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, including feeding, playtime, walks, litter box cleaning, giving attention, and making pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me to care for their pets with patience, love, and reliability.

I make time throughout the week for feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets attention, comfort, and companionship while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, routines, and any instructions provided by the owner. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior, keep their spaces clean, make sure doors and gates are secure, and give them patience, affection, and gentle care so they feel relaxed and protected.
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I started walking my neighbors’ dogs when I was 14 and continued doing so for several years.

“Sulay was a pleasure to deal with, and Shadow came home happy and relaxed. He was comfortable with her immediately - and got along great with her sweet dog. We appreciate her caring attentiveness. I would definitely recommend her highly, and will be sure to be a repeat customer!”
“Our daycare visit with Akshay was wonderful. He sent pictures of my dog making himself at home, as well as, playing with the other dogs. Looking forward to our next visit.”
“Andria is a wonderful pet sitter! We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her and truly appreciated all the updates she shared during his stay. Her fenced backyard is perfect for dogs to safely explore and enjoy their time. We will absolutely be using her services again—highly recommend!”
“Klainer took great care of our two fur babies while we went to some events in NYC for the day. This was our first time having both dogs watched together, as our youngest is only 6 months old. I never had to ask for updates because Klainer provided continuous ones, which really put our minds at ease during the day. They came back to us loved and tired, making our night super easy. If you’re from out of town like we were, I highly recommend trusting her with your fur baby! Very clean apartment, too.”
About: Cant think of time where I haven’t been around a dog. Growing up there was always dogs in the house. It comes easy to me. For my 2 dogs it starts at 345am with their first walk before I head to the gym. There 2nd walk comes at 8am before I start work then again at 2pm for a quick lunch break and their last 2 walks come at 5 and 930pm before settling down for the night. In between all the walking they’ll get breakfast and dinner and some naps. Meet and greet is important along with getting to know the pets needs and routines. Along with likes and dislikes. Knowing what the pet parents wants and expects from visits or boarding.
About: I’ve been a lifelong pet owner, with about ten years caring for my own dog, Bowie. Plus, I’ve regularly pet-sat and walked my cousins’ dogs whenever they’re on vacation. I’m really attentive and make sure every pet gets the personalized care they need. Since I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I have plenty of free time available, making it easy for me to dedicate consistent and attentive care to pets. My home is spacious and has a large fenced yard. Plus, I have a very sociable dog named Bowie. All of these things contribute to a comfortable, safe, and welcoming home for the pets that I have pet-sat.

We like to play with puzzles and train throughout the days I’m home!
“We had our first doggy daycare drop-off with Rosario and it was a great experience. Our 4-month-old Dachshund had a wonderful time and came home happy and tired. Rosario was professional, clearly experienced with puppies, and kept us updated throughout the day. Overall, a very positive experience for everyone—we’d definitely feel comfortable booking again.”
“Just lost our dog a couple weeks ago, so it's my first time to look for daycare for Milan. I contacted Jessica and was able to schedule a meet and greet that same day. Milan stayed with them today for the first time, and she seems to have enjoyed herself. She was very quiet in the car and asleep now. Those, to me, are signs of a tired dog! Jessica has been very responsive, accommodating, and flexible. Milan is booked again for next week. Looking forward to it!”
About: I am a semi-retired mom who has raised puppies from birth up until their senior years. I have taken puppy obedience classes while volunteering at animal shelters and have learned to adapt to different personalities of animals especially in different and new environments, which we all know can be stressful for some of our pets! I only work one day a week so I have tons of time to look after and take care of your pets! I can walk them during the day and board them any day of the week as long as you need. I have a fenced in yard, 3 dog parks within 5 minutes of our home and tons of fresh tennis balls and chew toys. I have a variety of treats ranging from dental chews to promote good dental health and organic treats with vitamins to help with their joints/make their coats nice and is easy on the stomach. We have tons of extra clean and cozy pet beds, pillows, and stuffed animals. I live in a clean and smoke free environment for your pet during their stay!
About: My motivation to care for dogs began during my time as a scout, where I learned responsibility, empathy, and the importance of helping others. These values inspired me to start taking care of pets for my mom’s friends and our family members. Over time, I gained experience with dogs of different breeds and personalities, and I truly enjoy spending time with them, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I currently work from Monday to Thursday and occasionally on Fridays. This means I’m available to care for pets on the Fridays I have off, as well as on weekends. I’m happy to help during those times when extra support is needed As a trained children's teacher, I understand how important it is to get to know each pet first — their needs, routines, and personality. I see pets much like young children: they need attention, patience, and lots of care. That’s why I always take the time to understand them before starting any pet care. My goal is to make their stay in my home comfortable and special, and when I care for pets in their own home, I make sure my presence is respectful and friendly, never intrusive.
“Te is amazing!! Our dog runs inside as soon as we drop him off and we have to carry him into the car in order for him to leave. Te is very communicative throughout the day and sends multiple updates. I know our dog is in great hands and would highly recommend. I swear it’s our dog’s favorite place on earth.”

“Kennedy did great! She came over a few days earlier to meet Tofi. On the day of the walk she did all we asked her to do, even with Tofi being reluctant to take a long walk, she hanged out with her and made sure she had water and treats.”

About: I’ve had two dogs! My first dog was a Maltese named Rocky. He passed away in 2017 from lymphoma. 💔 Right now, I have a 9-year-old terrier mix named Lila!

I’ve been helping take care of my family’s & friends dogs since I was a little girl, and I’ve always loved dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. 🥰 I’m currently in the Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) program at FDU. I started in May, and the program is 15 months long, so I’ll be graduating in September 2027. My classes are a mix of online and in-person, but I’m generally available all day on Monday, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays to house sit and available Tuesdays and Thursdays for drop-ins and walks! Whether your dog needs a walk, a trip to the park, someone to play with, or just a buddy to relax with on the couch, I’m happy to help! I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away. Just let me know what you need, and I’d be happy to make it happen. 😊
“I can’t say enough good things! I reached out last minute—literally the night before—after my original dog walker had to cancel due to a family emergency. Travian came through bright and early at 6:30 AM with zero hesitation. Total lifesaver.”
“Nechama is fantastic! She was on time. She follows instructions well and demonstrated care for Buddy. He came back happy from the walk. I strongly recommend Nechama and her dog walking services.”

“We had a wonderful experience! She came to our home to walk and feed our dogs, and she was always on time and incredibly reliable. She spent quality time playing with them, making sure they got plenty of attention and exercise, not just a quick walk. We also loved receiving regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing our dogs were happy and well cared for while we were away.

“Ekaterina was amazing with Zoey! She gave me lots of updates and took such great care of her. She did an amazing job and her kids were so gentle with Zoey too! During Zoey’s stay, she had to take medication and was healing from a cut on her leg - Ekaterina did an amazing job making sure she was being cared for properly. I would love for her to watch Zoey in the future again!”
“Tanacka was a pleasure to have her to take care of my dog, she is very sweet and kind, she kept me updated all the time with photos and pictures, he was treated as part of the family very kindly and with compassion I would definitely recommend her to any one looking for a kind and caring sitter for their pets”
“Gio and Starry were absolutely incredible! This was our first time using Rover and they made the entire experience feel so easy, comfortable, and reassuring. They sent so many photos and thoughtful updates, which meant the world to me. I could truly see how loved and cared for Phoenix was the whole time.”
“I appreciate Miss Natalie so much. Such a caring and loving dog sitter. She kept me updated and kept me at ease while I was 3,000 miles away. For my first time leaving my dog with someone I didn't really know,it felt like I was dropping my child off to school for the first day, lol! The good thing about it all as well, is that he came home and acted his regular normal self, there was no change in Behavior! That's how I know that he was comfortable being there and I will definitely use her again!”
“Basil loved staying with Daisy and Phil! They took amazing care of our Basil, and sent us photos and updates on Basil daily. Basil gets (kind of a lot of) pills each morning, and they did a great job dealing with her specific special needs. Will be returning, thank you!”
“Jordy T. took excellent care of my dog, Beanz! From the moment I booked, Jordy was responsive, communicative, and kept me updated throughout the stay with messages and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. Beanz looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. I was so impressed with the experience that I’m already rebooking with Jordy again this weekend! I highly recommend Jordy to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter.”
“Karollyne was great with Bizzle. She was kind and understanding and really managed to build trust with Bizzle in a short period of time. Bizzle is a senior dog and just needs gentle care and understanding which Karollyne did a great job! Highly recommended.”
“Doug and Luiz took great care of our girls while we were away. We were first time Rover users but they clearly know what they are doing. They have their house set up really well and have seen it all. They gave us lots of updates and are very safety focused. I especially appreciate them putting airtags on the dogs upon check in and every entry/exit point is double gated. Really conscientious dog lovers who set up towel pathways for my dog who gets scared of tile/wood floors. Will for sure use again!”
“My furbaby was comfortable with Keirstin. He spent a day with her before his 3 nights of boarding. He was quite excited to see her again to start his boarding for which I was pleased to see. While we were away, Keirstin sent us photos and updates and she was very responsive when I asked questions about his settling in her home. Thank you Keirstin.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent service! They took great care of my dog and treated him like family. I felt at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Marlo S. has been helping with my dog Scout for a while now, and I've always had a great experience with her. She's easy to communicate with, reliable, and genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. Scout is always happy to see her and comes back from his walks relaxed and in a good mood. It's good to know I can count on someone who treats my dog with such care and attention. I would definitely recommend Marlo to anyone looking for a reliable and responsible dog walker or pet sitter. Thank you. 🫶🐶😃”
“Best ever! From the second they met my pups they were so sweet and kind to them. She sent videos and pics and you could tell they were comfortable and loved on the whole week! I could not recommend her and her fiancée more! Will definitely be rebooking!!!!!!!”
“Vincent was amazing. Very responsive and helpful. Had a meet and greet and a boarding. Puppy had a great time overnight, went on walks and was taken care of well. Provided pictures during the stay. Thanks.”
About: I am an animal-loving, high school science teacher, located in Harrison, NJ (previously in Secaucus, Jersey City and Union City). I welcomed my own puppy home in May 2021 and have plenty of experience taking care of my sisters’ three dogs. I live in a spacious townhouse at a pet-friendly complex that has its own dog park. I’m very good with strict schedules & routines and love taking pictures & videos of my furry friends, so their humans won’t have to worry! I am at work from 7:30am to 4pm every Monday to Friday. I can do check-ins outside of these times. I can board and do doggy daycare only on weekends (starting Friday evening) and my days off, as I do not feel comfortable leaving any animal alone while I’m at work. I am a school teacher, so during the summer, I’ll be home for a majority of the day throughout the week! If I have to leave a pet alone, I will use a pet gate, playpen, or crate as needed so no pet gets into any dangerous situation. For check-ins, I will keep your space as clean as possible, so your pet doesn’t get in any icky situations! I will respect your home and always communicate what I’m doing.
“Victor and Lesly were the perfect sitters. They followed our instructions perfectly and provided lots of updates and pictures. Will definitely rebook the next time we’re out of town.”
“Manuel is a great person with full of love and patience to my dog, it means a lot to me when I’m away from home for work and could have peace on mind knowing my baby will be taken good care of by someone like Manual. Will definitely rebook in near future! Such a pleasant experience!!! Highly recommend!!!”
“Tiara was awesome and truly went above and beyond in caring for my cat. This was my first experience boarding and needless to say my cat and I were both a bit nervous about how it'd all go. For a cat that hasn't been away from me much in her 10 years that she had a blast and started to warm up to Tiara's cats (a little bit) is a testament to her care, attention and welcoming environment. She provided me with updates while I was away on my work trip and even gave me some cat dad advice with helpful tips on keeping my cat active and healthy. Highly recommend and will definitely be looking to book again for my next work trip”
