“Rebecca was amazing. She watched our 6 month old Shorkie for the weekend and he was a happy pup. She responded immediately if I checked in on him, she sent lots of pics of him having fun with his new friends, and he came home happy. He even got to watch Harry Potter on the couch with her family while getting petted! I would absolutely use her again!”
“Nicolena was great! I highly recommend here! My dog has bad separation anxiety and she was amazing with Blaze! Kept me updated throughout his stay! She is very good with dogs and would recommend her and would absolutely leave Blaze with her again!”
“Our Winnie has stayed with Patty twice. She was very accommodating to our travel plans which made the arrangements easy. Pics during her stays are always nice to receive. Our pup can be a handful and thankfully Patty survived! I would safely recommend Patty to other pet owners.”
“Danielle is amazing and made us feel so comfortable leaving our baby for the weekend! Her pup Georgia is amazing with other dogs and shows them the way. Could not recommend her more!”
“We cannot thank Kristin enough for taking care of our Lola girl while we were away. She was responsive, sent us updates, and we felt secure leaving Lola in her care. We will use Kristin from now on! 🐶”
“Crystal and her family were great and our little guy had plenty of love and attention from all of them. He came home happy and healthy and very well cared for. I highly recommend Crystal and will be using her again very soon!”
“Carol watched our Hansel for 3 days/2 nights. We were impressed from our initial meet & greet at Carol's neat, organized home. Her demeanor and experience indicated that she would provide excellent care for our pet. We received daily updates including photos that all was well, and Hansel was being his usual sweet self. At pick-up we found our boy happy, and ready to go home - we are confident he had an excellent experience with Carol. We are happy to have Carol as a resource for our future pet sitting needs.”
“I recently had the pleasure of using Lorraine to care for my dogs, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Throughout the stay, Lorraine kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which provided great peace of mind. It was evident that Brutus and Bella were not only well-cared for but were also enjoying themselves. Lorraine went above and beyond by sticking to Brutus and Bella’s routine, ensuring they received their favorite treats, and even taking them on longer walks than I had expected. The level of care and attention to detail was truly exceptional. I would highly recommend Lorraine to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and professional dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with Lorraine again in the future. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Brutus and Bella.”
“Gwen's house is Deacon's new home away from home. The whole family is so sweet. Gwen made sure Deacon had his medication every day and sent updates at the perfect times. I cannot say enough great things about her!”
“This was the first time Jedi was brought to another home. He was very hyper and active when we first got there. But Jonathan did very well with him. He sent me pictures during the day and I believe that Jedi had a great time. When we brought him home I expected him to run through our house as if to say yay I’m home. But he didn’t…walked in and said I’m home, I had a great day! good night. I would definitely use Jonathan again in the future.”

“Mark was an excellent sitter for our dog! He sent frequent and detailed updates with pictures. Mark and his family welcomed Chip into their home and Chip came back happy and tired from having a great time. We'll definitely board with him again!”

“When we met Carly and family , they immediately made us feel that Logan would be nothing but well taken care of and loved. When we returned to pick her up we knew that she had a great time and that she loved her stay. Carly and family walked Logan several times a day and even had her join the family in watching the basketball finals. They are truly a wonderful family worthy of your pets care.”
“Mark was an excellent person for our dog Maggie. He was completely attentive to her needs and followed our instructions for her. She was able to settle in at his home as though she were at ours. We definitely plan to have Mark sit Maggie again in the future if needed. We highly recommend Mark for anyone who might need his service . Thank you for the great care you gave to our dog Maggie!”
About: We know how stressful it can be to leave a family member with someone else—that’s why we’re here to make it easy and comforting for both you & your pup. When your dog stays with us, they’ll be treated like family. My husband and I rotate working from home, so there’s always someone here to give your pet attention, love, and plenty of playtime. I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years, and I truly can’t imagine life without them. We are huge animal lovers, and your pet’s happiness and well-being will always be our top priority. We love spending time outdoors—hiking, beach trips, and dog-friendly adventures are part of our routine. At home, we have a large fenced-in yard (1 acre), security cameras for peace of mind, and plenty of room for your dog to run, play, and relax. On nice days, we’re often outside enjoying the sunshine, and yes—dogs are welcome to splash around in the pool! Our dog Casanova swims all day long jumping off the diving board on his own. Our little Stella will hop on a pool float and take a nap. Our dogs are friendly and social, and we do our best to ensure all pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. We let the dogs out every 2–3 hours, and we’re happy to help with basic training or any special care your pup might need. We’re here to give your dog the attention they deserve while you’re away—and to give you daily updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. We have a 2 year old so we are switching to small dogs only. My dogs are spoiled and part of the family. I treat them like my kids and they go outside whenever they ask or at least every few hours. Friendly pets are welcomed like part of the family. They are free to go where they want and sleep where they would like. Our pups sleep in our room and have their own pillow and blanket.

“Second time hiring Christina! She's so commutative and professional! Our cats love her and had no problem taking their medication from her. Will hire again whenever we need the help!! Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had a family cat for the last 5 years that I’ve helped take care of since he was a kitten. After I moved out, I’ve also lived with a roommate who had her own senior cat that I helped look after whenever she was away. I always try to anticipate their needs. I’m always making sure food/water bowls are clean and filled, I’m meticulous with cleaning the litter and do it after everytime they go, and will spend time playing with them. Cats tend to love me, even shy ones, and I love to earn their trust!
About: I have 11 years of animal experience. I use to be a manager at a dog boarding facility before I got into vet med. I have no been in veterinary medicine for 10 years. I am currently a veterinary technician at an emergency animal hospital. I do cats and dogs with the occasional pocket pet. CPR and first aid trained. Trained in oral, subcutaneous, and intravenous medications. Great with serious pets and experienced with special needs animals. Can also provide nail trims, anal glands, ear cleanings, and fluid therapy (that’s rx’d by your vet). I have plenty of skills and experience, don’t be afraid to ask if your pet needs something special!
“Sam recently watched our cat Chloe at her home while we were away.. She's terrific! She responds quickly and kept in touch every day. Chloe came home safe and secure. I definitely recommend Sam.”
About: Compassionate cat lover and experienced owner of 2 cats, providing reliable drop in care, feeding, and play to keep your feline comfortable at home. For stubborn cats, I strictly honor their routine and give them space. For shy cats, I use a calm, low energy approach to earn their trust at their own pace. And for wild cats, I play and use interactive toys to burn off that extra energy safely. Additionally, I offer a complimentary 15 minute Meet & Greet so we can introduce ourselves, discuss your cat's routine, and make sure it’s a perfect fit!
About: I have loved and adored cats for as long as I can remember. Since I was a baby I have had cats around me- crib included! I come from a family of animals lovers, specifically cat lovers. While my mother cared for strays and our own cats I was right by her side. My mother taught me at a very young age how to love and respect cats. She taught me how to pet them, feed and water them them, interact with them and read their cues when they did not want to be pet or held anymore. When visiting my aunts, uncles and grandma I spent time and helped care for their cats as well. When I was a teenager I helped my Mom TNR cats in our neighborhood. I also volunteered at an animal shelter and worked at an animal hospital. I now care for a cat colony in Howell and TNR cats as well. I have my own cats at home who I love, adore and spoil. I could never imagine life without a cat to come home to!
About: Hi! I’m Alexa, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your cat while you’re away. As a lifelong animal lover and pet owner, I understand that every cat has their own unique personality and routine. I know how important it is to find someone who will care for them with patience, love, and attention. Whether your cat enjoys playing, cuddling, or simply prefers a calm companion who respects their space, I’ll make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own home. During each visit, I’ll provide fresh food and water, clean the litter box, administer basic care, give plenty of love and attention (if they want it!), and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible—for both you and your cat! I look forward to meeting you and your feline family!

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and the experience I've gained caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I volunteered with ACCT Philly Animal Shelter, where I helped care for both dogs and cats with a wide range of temperaments and needs. That experience taught me how to be patient, attentive, and adaptable, whether working with energetic puppies, shy rescue dogs, or senior pets that need a little extra care and compassion. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, my family always had multiple pets, and I was known as the one who spent the most time caring for them. Whether it was feeding, walking, playing, or simply making sure they felt safe and loved, I naturally took on that role because I truly enjoy being around animals. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable while you're away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or extra patience because they're a puppy or senior, I'll treat them like they're part of my own family. Pet care isn't something I fit into my routine—it's a part of my everyday life. I truly believe that when you choose to have pets, you make the time for them. The people closest to me joke that I'm a bit of a "helicopter mom" with my animals, but I think that's exactly why we have such a strong bond. I love going above and beyond to make sure my pets are happy, healthy, and enriched. On nice days, I bring my cats out onto our secure porch so they can safely enjoy fresh air and sunshine. I hide treats around the house to create little "brain games" that keep them mentally stimulated, stay on top of their grooming and hygiene, and make sure each of my pets gets one-on-one attention every day. I think it's important that every animal feels loved as an individual, not just as part of the group. That same level of care is what I bring to every pet I look after. Whether it's sticking to their normal routine, making time for extra play, or simply giving them companionship while you're away, I'll care for them with the same dedication I give my own. I believe the best pet care starts with understanding both the pet's needs and the owner's expectations. I'm also a strong advocate for respecting boundaries—both yours and your pet's. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your furry family member can feel nerve-racking. My goal is to make that experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Whether you prefer frequent updates, lots of photos, detailed visit summaries, or specific instructions on how you'd like your pet cared for, I'm happy to accommodate your preferences.
About: been two years since we lost our elderly labs, and I really miss having a dog. I do have a cat at the present, began to do some travel since they passed, which is why we have not gotten another dog, but I do love and miss them, and would gratefully take care of yours. i’m completely retired at this point, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets when I am not traveling, which is not that often so all forms of pet care can be considered. I will come to your home or your pet can come to mine. I have a big yard with grass and a big park right up the street for walks and playtime.
About: I have been around Animals all my life. I grew up on a farm and have catered to many different types of Animals. I have kept and currently keep Exotic Animals. My entire life revolves around caring for Animals. I have a 2.5 year old Catahoula Bully Mix and currently keep many Reptiles. I look after my parents Cats any time they go out of town and consistently pick up Animal related side jobs whenever I can. I have a fenced in yard at my home but will only be offering care in the client’s home. I am open to any kind of care and any type of Animal. Please reach out for further details!
About: Your pet gets more than a sitter they get a new best friend! ❤️ Since I work from home, they'll enjoy plenty of love, attention, playtime, cuddles, and companionship throughout the day. Photo updates are always included so you can see all the fun! Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who worked as a vet tech many moons ago while I was in nursing school. These days, I work from home, which means your pet will get plenty of attention throughout the day. My home is also full of fellow animal lovers! We have two dogs, a bunny, a love bird and a bearded dragon, and my two kids absolutely love helping care for our furry (and scaly!) guests. I'm also a bit of a homebody, so spending time at home with animals is truly my happy place. I can't wait to welcome your pet as part of the family! Your pet's comfort and routine are my top priorities! I have a large, fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and I'm always happy to take dogs on leashed walks for extra exercise and enrichment. I can follow your pet's regular feeding schedule, administer medications if needed, and tailor care to their individual needs and personality. Whether they love to play, explore, or simply relax with lots of cuddles, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home.

I am retired and I do travel more now but sometimes it’s just overnight or just a few days I have a fenced in backyard and a safe dog friendly neighborhood..

About: I have always been a lover of animals. I grew up with cats, dogs, rabbits, guniea pigs, and hamsters. Every single animal I’ve had has been given the love they deserve. Giving them all their play time, I have a huge fenced in yard for dogs to run around in and play fetch. If pets need their own space, I can accommodate that. If you need me to take extra time out for them I can offer that as well! I’m here to help! I am a hairstylist by trade for 27 years and love what I do, I work part time to be home more with my children. Being a hairstylist, I love helping my clients look and feel good. That being said, I figured I can help people in other ways as well and being that I love animals, why not help people with their pets by taking care of them! I take my dog on daily walks, except for Tuesdays and Saturdays but those are the days I work in the salon, but my husband takes our dog out. She also will go to my mother's house in the summer to swim with us as she absolutely loves the pool! Being that I am home most of the week, watching dogs fits well into my schedule. I will treat other people's pets as if they were my own. As long as they are potty trained, I will allow them to walk freely in my home, I have a huge fenced in yard for them to run and play. As long as the weather is beautiful out, I will take them on walks as well with my family! Myself and my family will treat your pets as if they were ours! We will show them love the entire time they are with us!
“Vincent has been watching my 3 year old labradoodle for a couple weeks during the days while I go into an office. He is so kind and great with her- he is very responsible and communicative. I feel very comfortable leaving my dog with him.”
“Excellent. We dropped our 1 year old puppy at Samantha’s for the day and she was in great hands!! She was walked, played with, and clearly well cared for. Will be contacting Sam again in the future!”
“Patty gets 5 stars without a doubt. Brody always seems to have a great time when he spends the day with Patty and Tucker! She always shows so much patience and understanding for Brody's anxiety and nervous energy upon arrival at her house. Within minutes of my leaving, Patty always follows up with pictures, assuring me that Brody has calmed down and is happily playing with Tucker and any other pup(s) she has that day. Can't say enough how happy I am to have found such a good sitter so close to home!”
About: Huge dog lover! I’ve had multiple dogs my entire life and ran a successful dog sitting service with my wife for 5 years. I no longer have any pets of my own and would love to fill the house with yours. Your dogs will be at home here with full run of the house. I live in a quiet community with a beautiful yard on a duck pond. We'll take long walks, sit outside, play with toys and enjoy cuddle time on the couch or bed. I'd be happy to take them to the local dog park to get their energy out. I’ll send plenty of videos and pictures so you can see your baby while you’re apart. I'm now retired and will be home most of the time, outside of pickleball at my community club house and short errands. Would love to meet your puppy or chat details about their stay. I am mostly home, aside from short errands and can walk your dog based on desired schedule. The dog is allowed on the furniture and can sleep in bed or we can bring their bed or crate into the bedroom. I will take them on walks around the neighborhood and play with toys. I can also provide visits to the local dog park upon request.
“Paula was honestly the best dog sitter we could have ever asked for. She is humble, kind, and was absolutely wonderful with Cappucino. She was very, VERY patient with him, through his stubbornness, active personality, and especially his barking. I couldn’t ask for any one better to care for my dog. Cappucino is stubborn and it isn’t easy to get him to trust you, especially if he barely knows you. But somehow, Paula managed to win him over! I was so happy when I found out they were starting to become friends. She send us updates, messages, and pictures throughout our entire stay, and is surprisingly quite a nice photographer! I recommend Paula to everyone, and would give her a 10/5 if I could. You won’t regret having her care for your pup!”

About: I believe what sets me apart from other pet sitters is my respect and innate love for all animals. My Mom asked me when I was 3 years old what I would like to be when I grow up and I said, "I want help children and animals.” I have not changed much since then! I am now a pediatric nurse who devotes her time to her cats, a cat colony in Howell and farm animals as well. I have been around animals my whole life, and I could not imagine life without them. I care for animals throughout the day, everyday. I use my time wisely and ensure every animal is cared for in every way no matter what. I care for my pets in my home by providing a clean, safe, loving, and stimulating environment for them. My cats are provided with fresh drinking water (spring water) throughout the day, nutritious food (wet & dry), litter boxes cleaned twice daily and clean glass doors/windows to bird/squirrel watch. My cats also sunbathe on the back patio and enjoy their cat nip as well.
About: I bring a lifetime of experience caring for dogs, from raising and training puppies to caring for senior dogs. As a semi-retired healthcare professional, I’m responsible, observant, and attentive to details. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, and I’ll treat your pet with the same care, patience, and attention I would want for my own. I recently found myself unexpectedly semi-retired and looking to stay active while doing something I truly love... spending time with dogs! This year, I lost my beloved Bernese Mountain Dog and am missing having a dog in my life. I’ve raised and trained dogs from puppyhood, including a Border Collie (if you know, you know!) and my Bernese, as well as cared for many other dogs over the years. I’ve also boarded friends’ dogs and provided drop-in care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pet because I’ve relied on great dog sitters myself, who treated my dogs as part of their family. I’d love the opportunity to give your dog the same love, attention, and care I would want for my own. My priority is always the safety, comfort, and well-being of your pet. I’ll follow your instructions and routines carefully, including feeding schedules, medications if applicable, leash requirements, and any crating or other guidelines you provide. During walks, I’ll stay alert to our surroundings and be aware of other dogs, people, traffic, and anything else that could affect your pet’s safety. Most importantly, when I’m caring for your pet, I’ll be present and engaged, not distracted by my phone. I want your dog to get my full attention, whether we’re out for a walk or spending time together during a drop-in visit.
About: I ensure pets feel safe, comfortable and happy with personalized routines, play time and plenty of love while you’re away. 15+ years of experience of pet sitting/pet owner. I have assisted in whelping puppies and care for my own dog with multiple health issues. I work a typical 8:30-4:30 job in the Ocean and Monmouth county area. But I am flexible with work from home, or traveling for drop in visits. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for running, frolicking and playing. I understand the importance of maintaining their routines and schedules all while providing endless love! I am comfortable with administering medication if necessary.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 25 years and have always had a deep love for animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering medications, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to giving you peace of mind by providing attentive, compassionate care and regular updates while you’re away. As a teacher, I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time to give pets the attention they deserve. During the school year, I’m available before and after school, on weekends, holidays, and school breaks. In the summer, my schedule is much more open, giving me extra time for walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I make up for it with frequent leashed walks, outdoor play, and lots of one-on-one attention. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions you provide. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’ve always loved dogs and always wanted one growing up. We finally got a dog before I went to college and ever since she has been an integral part of our family. I love taking her on walks around town and we love playing on the beach! I am currently home from college and looking to make some money while spending time with dogs and I am flexible during the week to go for walks throughout the day. I am not a pet sitter but I will make sure your dog gets back home safely after our walks, that their poop is cleaned up, and that they had some good exercise!
About: I have had dogs for over 30 years. From border collies, Rottweilers, pit bulls, Australian cattle/Sheppard and various other breeds. While I am new to rover, I am not new to caring for dogs. I have had many friends entrust me with their dogs for days to weeks at a time. My wife and I currently have a 30 lbs mix breed named Riley. She loves walks on the beach and playing with other dogs. I have a large fenced in back yard that is perfect for dogs to run and play in. I also live in a quiet neighborhood with wooded trails near by perfect for long walks. Currently I am between finishing helicopter flight school and starting my new job as a helicopter tour pilot. My schedule open daily for pet care Safety and trust are my top priorities. I have a large fenced in yard that is perfect for your dog to play and run with my dog Riley. Since every dog has their own unique personality, I will be sure to learn their individual needs and wants. Whether it’s playing in the yard, walks around the neighborhood or walks on the beach, I will always make sure your dog feels safe and comfortable.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have always been a dog lover. As well, I have worked at a dog kennel where I was in charge of feeding all of the dogs and letting them out to go the bathroom. The dogs ranged in ages from puppies all the way up to senior dogs which needed assistance in getting up to start walking. There is no dog too young or too old for me. I will embrace and love your best friend like they are my own! We will go for walks and play every night to make sure your best friends does not miss you too much! If you have any questions, please don’t be afraid to ask. Let’s have a barking good time together!

I also hop on these apps when traveling, and really whenever I have some extra time in my day.

“Tom was great with our dogs and kept us updated throughout their stay with pictures and regular check-ins. He was very communicative and always responded whenever we had a question or wanted an update. Our dogs were comfortable with him and were very well taken care of. When we picked them up, you could tell they were happy, relaxed, and had enjoyed their stay. Tom would definitely be the first person we reach out to the next time we go on a family vacation and need someone we trust to look after our dogs. Thank you so much, Tom!”
“Christine and her family were great. They accepted our request with very little advance notice which allowed me to attend a funeral service and not have to worry about Rocky. As a border collie mix, Rocky has enormous energy, but when I picked him up from Christine, he plopped down in the backseat and slept all the way home. I also loved the photo Christine sent me of Rocky playing with her other dogs. It looked like he was having a great time. I whole heartedly recommend Christine if you need a sitter in her area.”
“Ashley was such a blessing! My original return time got extend because of a canceled flight and Ashley graciously extended the sitting time frame with my dog Luna, who was well-treated and loved while spending longer than expected with Ashley and her family! I was sent pics of Luna and daily updates on how she was doing. I felt at ease knowing that Luna was in good, capable hands! I would highly recommend Ashley for booking and I'll definitely rebook with Ashley when I need another sitter. Thank you so much Ashley!”
“I recently had the pleasure of using Lorraine to care for my dogs, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Throughout the stay, Lorraine kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which provided great peace of mind. It was evident that Brutus and Bella were not only well-cared for but were also enjoying themselves. Lorraine went above and beyond by sticking to Brutus and Bella’s routine, ensuring they received their favorite treats, and even taking them on longer walks than I had expected. The level of care and attention to detail was truly exceptional. I would highly recommend Lorraine to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and professional dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with Lorraine again in the future. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Brutus and Bella.”
“This was the first time Jedi was brought to another home. He was very hyper and active when we first got there. But Jonathan did very well with him. He sent me pictures during the day and I believe that Jedi had a great time. When we brought him home I expected him to run through our house as if to say yay I’m home. But he didn’t…walked in and said I’m home, I had a great day! good night. I would definitely use Jonathan again in the future.”
“Lisa is the best! It was such a relief knowing our little guy was being taken care of while we were out of town. She kept us in the loop with great photos! She’s so sweet, and our dog LOVES her! We are very fortunate to have found her.”
