Highly-rated overnight sitters - Lyons
“Jenny was great. She kept me updated frequently with pictures and videos showing just how much fun Buffy was having. My only concern was that Buffy wouldn’t want to leave. 😬”
“We left our 3-year old female cockapoo for 5 days with Katie and she seemed to have had a great time while we were away. The host family was nice, attentive and caring. We got daily pictures and updates about our dog, which was very nice. We would highly recommend this dog sitter to anyone. Thx”
“I feel bad for myself when my dogs have a good time without me. - but THEY LOVE GOING TO DEB’S! An overnight and no problems, no starving themselves, no crying all night. Just a regular day only without me. How lucky am I to have access to this help for my furr babies (and for my soul)!”
“Lulu and I met Ji and there was an instantly connection. As she had never met Ji and was in a different environment, Lulu seemed content. Ji kept me updated on Lulu’s adjustment, which stated was going well. I truly appreciate Ji being able to take care of Lulu on such a short notice. Hopefully in the future if needs arrives Ji will be able to take care of Lulu again.”
“Areli took great care of our dog, Harper, while we were away. She sent us daily photos to provide us some comfort that Harper was enjoying her stay. Harper slept all day after we picked her up, a sign that she had a blast playing with the other dogs and came home exhausted. Will definitely look to board Harper there again in the future.”
“Awesome! Jean, is excellent! We left our 7-year-old Labradoodle for the first time with Jean for an extended weekend. She treated Simba as if he was her own dog and sent us pics of their wonderful time together multiple times a day. Simba loved it and felt at home. We are so glad we found Jean as she will be our go-to person moving forward.”
“Paul does an amazing job with our dog. We can finally take time off with peace of mind that Prada is in great hands and getting great care while we’re away. Extremely pleased!”
“Stan and Barbara took such great care of our dog for the week. They shared daily updates and pictures which we really enjoyed. We will definitely contact them again when we need a dog sitter. Happy to have found them using Rover!”
“When we first decided we were going away on vacation we didn't know what to do with Simba, so we were going to not go on our trip. However, we heard about the Roover app and we did our search based off our location. Isbath was the first name who popped up and we decided to go with her especially being close to home as well as hee reviews. Not only Isbath and her family were amazing. Their dogs were not just amazing but when we did our meet & greet it really helped Simba open up. Simba is usually anxious, but when Simba meet Isbath & her family he fit right in with them and automatically played with them and didn't run away. This was our sign to go with them because Simba felt comfortable around them and their dogs made him feel at ease. They also sent pictures and videos to us daily, we just knew he was having a great time away from us. Even my husband felt comfortable leaving Simba and knew he was in great hands. When and if we do go on another vacation, we will definitely be using them again. Thank you again to Isbath & her family.”
“Sayak was great with Silver. He provided a relaxed environment and sent pictures of my dog comfortably sleeping on his couch. Typically Silver is anxious whenever I leave him but he slept away the afternoon.”
“Excellent care! Jacquelyn and Bryan were super attentive and loving to my Ollie girl. They sent pictures and updates throughout and I felt comfortable for the entirety of the stay that she was in good hands. Highly recommend :)”
“Margarita was the first time i used Rover. This was also the first time i left my pup with someone besides a close friend or family member. Margarita was very friendly and did not have any problem with me having questions or asking a few times during the 6 night stay how she was doing. Took her for nice long walks, even though from what i saw, it rained quite a bit. She sent a few videos of the walks and i know she was well taken care of. I will def be a return customer of hers for as long as she is available to watch my pup”
“Bhavani handles puppies like a pet owner with care and affection. Bhavani took great care of Benny. She regularly sent pics and videos, which was very reassuring. She spent time playing with him and made sure he was well cared for throughout. I especially appreciated how she helped Benny socialize—he was happy and comfortable. Would definitely recommend her as a dogsitter.”

“Roselie did a GREAT job with our two cats. During her meet and greet before starting drop ins, she brought treats to help our cats get comfortable around her. She sends several pictures and leaves thorough notes during her check ins, and I just know that our kitties are happy and treated well while in her care. Would recommend Roselie to anyone looking for a sitter for cats!”
“Avery took wonderful care of our two super-senior cats. The peace of mind knowing we didn't have to worry was wonderful. Avery also took photos each day and kept in touch through the app. I do highly recommend Avery to take good care of your pets! Thank you 😁”
“Svetlana is amazing! She was very responsive in our communication from the start and my cat liked her instantly. I feel so comfortable leaving him with her. She knows a lot about cats, which has been very helpful to me. I highly recommend her!”
“Emily did an excellent job updating me on my cats while I was away. Followed instructions and was very communicative during the time I was away. Would recommend highly to anyone looking for a great pet sitter.”
“Madi and Abby were amazing! Our two young cats were so comfortable around Abby and that shows how great she was with them! She followed all instructions, sent tons of pictures that made us so happy while away, and even was extremely patient and communicative during a situation where our electric front door locked wouldn’t open! Would absolutely recommend and book again! So happy we found them!”
“Best experience ever ❤️ Karina was wonderful with my sensitive little cat. She was gentle, caring, and very responsible. She always replied quickly, answered all my questions, and sent plenty of sweet photos. So kind and thoughtful. I felt completely at ease the whole time. ❤️ I’ll book her again!”

“Paola is incredibly pleasent and loving sitter! She took amazing care of our cats, gave us a great detailed write up of the visits and sent plenty of photos. Will definitely book again next time we are away!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Vanessa and Justin provided for our cat, Simon, while we were away for three weeks. From the start, they were incredibly thoughtful and attentive. We especially appreciated the daily photo updates and FaceTime calls—they really helped put our minds at ease, especially since Simon is an older cat. Vanessa and Justin went above and beyond. They played with him, brushed him, and gave him all the love and attention he’s used to at home. Honestly, we’re not sure he even wanted to come back—he was exceptionally cared for and clearly formed a bond with them. We’re so grateful for the peace of mind they gave us while we were away. We’ll absolutely be booking with them again. Thank you both so much!”
“Hadija was so wonderful to my cat Beau! I asked for lots of updates and she delivered- I never had to wonder what he was up to or if he was doing okay! She clearly really cares for animals deeply and was so sweet and loving to him. She also left my apartment cleaner than when I left it!”
“Sara was very communicative and accommodating. I requested late feedings and had a a new security system that she navigated seamlessly. She was in touch every step of the way and I felt my fur baby was well taken care of. Would definitely use again!”

“Laci is such a great cat sitter! She always took the time to hang out and try and get our cat to play, cleaned up food and cleaned the litter box. Came home to a very happy cat. Will continue to book Laci in the future!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Lyons
About: We love our dog but we aren’t crazy dog people. Our home is clean. We have a friendly husky and a large fenced yard. We don’t leave for longer than 2 hours when we have a dog over and generally take 1 guest dog at a time. We work from home and only watch when we can be here every 2 hours. We don’t go out for more than 2 hours with a dog staying. I have a big fenced yard and a friendly husky that will keep your pet entertained. We also have a great dog walking neighborhood and path.
“Debbie sent pictures and all I saw were 2 small dogs who did not miss their human Mom. There was play time (smiles and action), down time (cuddling and relaxing). I was always under the impression they sat in a corner and missed me with all their tiny hearts, but no - Debbie had them going the whole time! One fell asleep on the drive home due to the days action, the other needed every minute of tthe days action! Her property is amazing! Gorgeous setting only maybe two or three miles from downtown Bernardsville. So much safe space to run and play in. Exploring is at the top of Louie's requirements and he had a whole acre of fenced in yard to get all his Terrier on! Thanks so much Debbie! WE WILL BE BACK!!!!”
About: I have lots of experience with dogs and absolutely love spending time with them — playing, teaching tricks, and taking them on walks. I grew up around dogs and have a real passion for it! I only take one dog at a time, so your pup gets my full attention and focus throughout the stay. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can walk your dog in the early morning, during lunch, and in the late afternoon/evening — basically as needed throughout the day. I live in a house with my sweet two-year-old daughter, who is gentle and great with animals (no grabbing or rough play!). Because of this, I’m looking to care for friendly, calm dogs who are comfortable around kids. If your pup fits that description, I’d love to give them a fun, attentive stay full of walks, play, and maybe even a new trick or two!
“This was one of the best Rover experiences we have had! Jaclynn is just wonderful! We were visiting from Florida for a few days, and asked her to watch our little Sushi while we spent time with family. Not only is Jaclynn super nice, friendly and full of positive energy, she runs her business like a pro, which we really appreciated. I think most dog sitters love the dogs - but Jaclynn is clearly very knowledgeable and really knows how to care for her guests, and keep them happy and engaged. We especially appreciated the photos and her “report card” that filled us in on Sushi’s time with her. We visit NJ frequently and Sushi will definitely be back! Thanks so much, Jacki!!!”
“Rylee absolutely enjoyed her stay. Kumud is so good and caring, and she sure takes care of dogs like her own. I was shared continuous updates about Rylee and how she was doing. Thank you Kumud, I was able to focus on my day peacefully knowing you were taking so good care of my furry baby Rylee.”

I enjoy spending time with dogs, going for walks, playing, and simply making them feel comfortable and relaxed. I always try to follow each dog’s personality and routine so they feel safe and happy while their family is away. I also love sharing photo updates so you can see how your pup is doing.

“Excellent and caring provider. She takes the time to speak to you about your pet’s needs as well as spending the time to learn and experience your pet. She is extremely knowledgeable about all types and ages of dogs and their needs. She is very flexible with scheduling. She provided constant feedback throughout via texts, pictures and videos. My puppy had a wonderful experience with Jessica and her crew!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover offering a safe, caring, and comfortable home for your pet while you’re away. I have an 8-year-old friendly, well-mannered dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. My home features a large fenced yard where dogs can enjoy supervised playtime, outdoor breaks, and exercise in a secure environment.

I accept only a limited number of pets at a time so I can provide personalized care and ensure each dog feels comfortable and well cared for.

Whether your dog loves to play, relax, cuddle, or simply stay close to people, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home. I understand that every dog is unique, and I’m especially patient with pets who need slower introductions, extra reassurance, or a structured routine. During your pet’s stay, I’ll send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. Whether you need daycare or overnight boarding, my goal is to provide a loving, stress-free experience for both you and your pet. I’d love to learn more about your dog and see if we’d be a great fit.

I follow feeding schedules, provide plenty of attention, and can accommodate crate routines or special instructions if needed. I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while your pet is with me.

About: I have been pet foster parent since 2018, in this time I have been able to care for around 30 pets. Some come with special challenges but have thoroughly enjoyed and fallen in love with every one of them. Goodbyes have been tough, they have gone on to loving home and thrived. I am thankful to be a small part of their journey! I am currently on work break, which gives me plenty of time to play, take long walks, and give your pet the attentive, dedicated care they deserve. I live in a townhouse with a large living / dining room and if needed can create a separate area for the pet's comfort. I have access to a large non-fenced backyard and long walking paths.
“If I could leave 10 stars, I would! My dog Harper just had surgery and Jessica was so attentive to her needs. She was great at keeping her calm so her incisions would stay in tact, she was able to help feed her since Harper was stuck wearing a cone. I was confident having Jessica take care of her as she was recovering”
“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!”
“Erika was very responsive and flexible. She took good care of Peppercorn and kept us updated by the app with detailed updates and tracking of his drinking/eating/toileting schedule. She was very flexible with allowing us to change hours / dates when our schedule changed. Would recommend Erika!”

Whether it’s daily walks, medication, or just cuddle time, I go the extra mile to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable.

As for the animals I pet-sit for, I walk them three times a day (more or less depending on the age), play with them for at least 30 minutes outside, feed them, and tuck them into bed.
“Josephine’s first stay with Pardeep was seamless. Pardeep was very accommodating with my schedule and provided a safe, calm, enjoyable day for Jo. He kept me up to date on her as the day went on and that is always reassuring. His dogs were friendly and respectful which I greatly appreciate due to Josephine being a senior. I would gladly recommend him and will seek his care for Josephine again soon.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for 10+ years! I love spending time with all animals so petsitting is like a vacation for me. I am a full time lab technician and have flexible hours to watch over any furbabies :) I have a full time job that is very flexible with my hours. I am very detail oriented, punctual, and patient. I am free outside of work and would love to occupy my time, whenever need be, to help someone else who needs help watching their dog or cat! My biggest worry is not letting your furbabies run loose! I always check my surroundings before entering a home and be cautious so that no animal runs out or gets hurt in the process. While taking care of pets it is easy to let them run wild and have fun, but we can also do so without making the home messy! I will treat anyones dog or cat as my own, as well as make sure that I leave a home the way it was when coming in.

I unfortunately am not able to get another dog for the time being because I am starting law school in the fall. But, I miss the presence of a dog dearly, which is why I chose to become a sitter. I smile at and care for all animals, and I am excited to meet all of your fur babies! I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I understand each pet has different needs, so I always ask for details/notes to make sure I can accommodate properly. Under my care, your pet is treated as if it is my own and has my full attention. While caring for pets, I also make sure to send frequent updates and pictures to keep pet parents in the loop:) I currently have a very free schedule, as I am in the summer before I start law school (I am trying to relax as much as possible before). When I begin my studies at the end of August, I will be available on weekends for boarding requests.

During the school year I have full availability so long as my schedule is open. I have three dogs at home, a German Shepherd, black lab and a mini Australian shepherd. They get lots of play time together. I am a very active person so I prefer young dogs that have high energy.

“We left our 3-year old female cockapoo for 5 days with Katie and she seemed to have had a great time while we were away. The host family was nice, attentive and caring. We got daily pictures and updates about our dog, which was very nice. We would highly recommend this dog sitter to anyone. Thx”
“Areli took great care of our dog, Harper, while we were away. She sent us daily photos to provide us some comfort that Harper was enjoying her stay. Harper slept all day after we picked her up, a sign that she had a blast playing with the other dogs and came home exhausted. Will definitely look to board Harper there again in the future.”
“Awesome! Jean, is excellent! We left our 7-year-old Labradoodle for the first time with Jean for an extended weekend. She treated Simba as if he was her own dog and sent us pics of their wonderful time together multiple times a day. Simba loved it and felt at home. We are so glad we found Jean as she will be our go-to person moving forward.”
“Paul does an amazing job with our dog. We can finally take time off with peace of mind that Prada is in great hands and getting great care while we’re away. Extremely pleased!”
“When we first decided we were going away on vacation we didn't know what to do with Simba, so we were going to not go on our trip. However, we heard about the Roover app and we did our search based off our location. Isbath was the first name who popped up and we decided to go with her especially being close to home as well as hee reviews. Not only Isbath and her family were amazing. Their dogs were not just amazing but when we did our meet & greet it really helped Simba open up. Simba is usually anxious, but when Simba meet Isbath & her family he fit right in with them and automatically played with them and didn't run away. This was our sign to go with them because Simba felt comfortable around them and their dogs made him feel at ease. They also sent pictures and videos to us daily, we just knew he was having a great time away from us. Even my husband felt comfortable leaving Simba and knew he was in great hands. When and if we do go on another vacation, we will definitely be using them again. Thank you again to Isbath & her family.”
“Sayak was great with Silver. He provided a relaxed environment and sent pictures of my dog comfortably sleeping on his couch. Typically Silver is anxious whenever I leave him but he slept away the afternoon.”
“Excellent care! Jacquelyn and Bryan were super attentive and loving to my Ollie girl. They sent pictures and updates throughout and I felt comfortable for the entirety of the stay that she was in good hands. Highly recommend :)”
“Bhavani handles puppies like a pet owner with care and affection. Bhavani took great care of Benny. She regularly sent pics and videos, which was very reassuring. She spent time playing with him and made sure he was well cared for throughout. I especially appreciated how she helped Benny socialize—he was happy and comfortable. Would definitely recommend her as a dogsitter.”
“Great stay, four nights, Jaclynn sent pictures & a video during the stay. Kiko had a lot of fun, was looking out the car window as we were leaving and probably missing her play buddy. She was clearly exhausted when we picked her up and went right to sleep. Received a nice writeup when we picked her up. Would definitely stay again.”
“Ekaterina and her family were amazing and so loving with Charlie. She was very communicative and gave us constant photo and video updates. Her kids were also wonderful with Charlie. We could tell Charlie had the best time because she seemed a little sad when she came back home. Highly recommend Ekaterina and will definitely book again in the future!”

Would highly recommend Lakshmi for anyone looking for a great home away from Home for their fur baby while you are out , know that your baby wil be well taken care of.”
“Gianna and her partner took wonderful care of our boy while we were away! I received lots of pictures and videos of him throughout the day—snuggled up on the couch, playing fetch, and thriving on his walks at the park. With Gianna’s knowledge and dedication to pet care, we felt at ease leaving him in their care. They handled his energy, anxiety, and heat sensitivity very well, and he seemed to have a lovely time during his week away home. We would absolutely recommend Gianna to anyone looking for a trusted sitter!”
“Can’t say thank you enough to Lisa and her family. Lisa took care of our peanut with so much love. He had an awesome time and we can’t wait to book her again. She also kept in constant communication and sent lots of pictures which made us feel very comfortable and satisfied. Thank you Lisa.”
“Jackie took fantastic care of our Lucy for a few days. You can tell right away that Jackie loves dogs, and ours loved Jackie and her home. We were in a bind in that we needed a host on very short notice, and Jackie worked with us to work out the schedule so that we could take the quick trip that popped up. We'll definitely be happy to use Jackie again to care for our pup.”
“Charlene was absolutely amazing! Her home and backyard is a perfect set up to host pets. Charlene loved and cared for my girls as though they were her own. Will definitely be using her again soon!”
