“It was our dog's first night away from us and we feel so fortunate to have found Shaun S. Shaun and his family treated Betty with such love and took so much time to understand our dog, Betty's, routine and personality prior to her visit. It was so nice to receive so many pictures and even videos during her stay... he kept us posted the whole time. When I arrived to pick her up, Betty's tail was wagging as she "introduced" me to Shaun - along with his son and wife. What a lovely family and the perfect home to leave Betty. We already booked 2 more stays!”
“Accommodated with short notice. Encouraged a meet and greet, even came to us due to our schedule. Immediately felt at ease leaving Fletcher for the day. He looked happy in the photos sent.”
“Paul is excellent! Dunley is a 5-year-old lab/cattle dog with high energy. Paul made sure Dunley got enough exercise, walks, and plenty of fetch. He came back happy. I will definitely use Paul again!”
“Sue is a great sitter who was very accommodating and made our pup feel right at home. She followed our instructions and put our minds at ease and provided plenty of photos and updates on how our pup was doing. Will definitely ask her to watch our dog again in the future!”
“Carine took such great care of our Daisy, and was really good with communication. Carine was also very flexible with a change in pick up time frame, which we really appreciated!”
“Bydette and her family took such great care of our dog. They gave her the same love and attention that we would and were happy to keep her on a similar schedule so it was an easy transition home. We plan to have Bydette watch our dog again soon.”
“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!”
“Lisa is amazing! She did a great job keeping us updated with pics & videos. Our dog has never looked this happy when we’ve gone away. She kept her active with walks & playtime with her pup. Highly recommend!”
“Jen was super flexible on drop-off & pick up times & extended schedule. She was proactive in sending photos of my dog from walks & generous in using extra dog booties on my dogs paws to keep him cleaner. Last minute I had some probiotics & med to give my dog & she was ok with that too! I would definitely be confortable leaving my fur baby with Jen & highly recommend her.”
“Karina was an amazing caregiver for our senior dog. She loved and cared for her like one of her own dogs. She maintained constant contact throughout the weekend with texts and pictures and Gertrude can not wait to stay with her again!”
“Ekaterina took the best care of our dog, Charlie. She communicated with us daily, keeping us in touch with our Charlie’s day. Charlie looked so happy and comfortable which made us even happier and more comfortable. We’re grateful that we found someone who can give us peace of mind when we go away and have to leave Charlie behind. We will definitely look for Ekaterina again for any future stays.”
“Our mini-bernedoodle, Luna, had a wonderful 9 night stay with Jaqi and Andre. This was Luna's first time away from family, so she was a little nervous at first, but with Jaqi's love, she was able to adapt to the new surroundings well and make many new doggie friends. Jaqi had incredible communication, sending us a note and picture of Luna within 10 minutes of us first dropping her off, showing us that Luna was already settling in. Throughout our trip, Jaqi sent links to fun videos (also posted to her Instagram) of Luna and the other dogs playing. Jaqi has a wonderful backyard for the dogs to explore and her dog Andre is an incredible doggie-host! Will definitely book with Jaqi and Andre again when we are away on family vacations and plan to also bring Luna over for a periodic doggie daycare day. Thanks for being so good to Luna, Jaqi!!”
“Luis (and his wife Laura) were very welcoming to our small dog. He sent photo updates twice a day which was very reassuring. It’s great to have such a reliable and caring boarder in the same town!”
“CB loved his stay with Jessica. We got regular updates with pictures and videos. This was the first time in 4 years we took a vacation without CB all because we felt safe and good about leaving him with Jessica.”
“Briaan was great with Russell! She was warm and caring; he loved her immediately. This was our first time using a sitter and Russell’s first time away from home. She sent me lots of pictures, texts, and videos throughout my time away. Wonderful experience - put my heart at ease.”
“So happy we found Michele. She took Momo out on a walk multiple times a day and sent us plenty of pictures. For a picky dog like ours Michele really fit the bill. Would 100% recommend.”
“Carol was EXCELLENT with our dog. She was available for a meet and great ahead of time and watched him for a full week. During that week, she treated him with the utmost love and attention, truly as if it were her own dog. She was also very responsive to messages and sent updates as requested. We felt so at ease and comfortable knowing our fur baby was in good hands while we traveled. One of the best rover experiences we’ve had to date! Will absolutely use her again.”
“can’t thank Pallab enough for the love and care they gave Ashoka . From the thoughtful updates to the little details they paid attention to, we knew our pup was in the best hands. Ashoka adored him, and we felt complete peace of mind. We’re so grateful and will definitely rebook!””

About: I’m a huge dog lover and have been caring for dogs for over 15 years. I started out working for a dog walking company, then ran my own dog walking business for a while. After 2020, I moved on to other things, but I’ve still stayed connected by walking and caring for a few longtime clients here and there. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I’d love to help take care of yours! I’m currently a preschool teacher and off for the summer, so I have plenty of free time to care for your pup! During the school year, I’m available for afternoon and evening visits after 3 p.m. on weekdays. I am available most times on the weekends as well. I’d love to spend my free time giving your dog the attention and care they deserve! Safety is always my top priority. I make sure to follow every routine and instruction pet owners provide because I know how important consistency is for dogs. I also have a dog at home who isn’t very dog-friendly, so I truly understand how important it is to respect each dog’s unique needs and boundaries.
About: I’ve been caring for cats for about 6 years, including my own 6‑year‑old tuxedo and the Maine Coon I grew up with. I’m comfortable with shy, playful, and senior cats and always follow your feeding and litter box routines closely. I can give pill medications when needed and pay attention to each cat’s personality so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away, with photo updates to keep you in the loop.

You can feel Lisa's compassion for dogs. She keeps a very neat and clean home and property and has a fenced in backyard. Really glad to have her in the neighborhood!”

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life, whether it was taking care of my friends pets while they were away, or my own, I have always loved animals, specially dogs. I currently have three dogs of my own (ages 13, 6, and 1), which has given me experience caring for dogs at every stage of life, from being patient and gentle with seniors to keeping the younger pups active and happy. I’m excited to start offering my care to other families and would love the opportunity to treat your pets like my own. I enjoy going on walks, have experience walking multiple dogs, following feeding routines, and making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for.

I enjoy walking every day, whether I have a furry companion with me or not, so adding walks and visits into my schedule is something I truly look forward to. I also have my own reliable transportation, making it easy for me to get to and from clients’ homes. My work hours are short, and I have multiple days where I am not scheduled, giving me plenty of availability and flexibility to provide dependable care when your pup needs it. I provide care in your pet’s home so they can stay comfortable and relaxed in their own familiar environment. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I make sure to follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, playtime, and daily habits.

Daniela made Saige feel very confident while taking her on her walks and was timely and communicated and sent pictures while she had her out for walks :) She truly spoke and was very sweet to our Saige as if she was her own dog ; which was very comforting to us; we will definately reach out to Daniela in the future when we are back in town !”

About: I’ve spent the last 6 years caring for dogs and cats for families in my neighborhood, including puppies, high‑energy dogs, and seniors who need a gentler pace. I regularly do dog walking, drop‑in visits, and house sitting, and I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding, medications, walks, and playtime.

About: As a speech therapist for 10 months out of the year, I primarily work with children and enjoy spending summers outdoors with my own dog, Cooper. I have 10 years of experience pet sitting and dog walking, through Rover as well as for friends and neighbors. I am comfortable maintaining your dog’s training and walking routines to ensure safe, fun walks together! (Cooper will stay at home, he is a whole lot of 100 lbs and receives his own walks. He does not resource guard and has never been a bite risk). I’m looking to dog walk and/or dog sit in the summer, when I am off from my public school job. This would be during the months of July and August, but depending on the hour I can be available before July (after 4:30 pm). During the summer I have a very flexible schedule. I have a fenced in yard and a split level home. I can keep our dogs separate or introduce them depending on your preference and whether they can acclimate (Cooper is a big boy but docile and friendly).
About: I give personalized care to every pet. I also have experience with dogs, whether it’s reinforcing basic training or providing attentive care, I adjust my approach to fit them. I plan my schedule around consistency and reliability. I make sure pets get timely walks, meals, playtime and specific care they need. Caring for pets isn’t something I squeeze in, it’s something I intentionally structure my time around. In a client’s home I focus on maintaining their normal schedule so they feel comfortable in their familiar environment. In my home, I create a safe, calm space where they can relax and feel at ease.
“Alex was wonderful and took great care of my sweet puppy! She went above and beyond to make sure she ate her lunch. Great communication! She shared lots of cute photos! Definitely recommend!”
About: I have had the blessing of growing up with dogs since I was born. Dogs have always had a massive impact on my life and will forever bring me an immense amount of happiness. I’ve been lucky enough to understand how both puppies and elderly dogs function and am well aware of their capabilities, wants & needs. I find myself to be a patient but energetic caretaker & am hoping to utilize this service for the betterment of both the dog and myself! You can trust your pup with me as I understand just how important a dog is to any owner - forever family. I come with 2.5 years of dog walking experience in Boston & am now eager to bring this passion of mine to NJ 😊🐾 I can walk and take care of your pup at any time of the day, as I work fully remote. I can also care for them during the weekends that I’m not away for. I love talking walks around neighborhoods frequently so I am more than happy to take your dog on a nice long walk or just entertain in your home or backyard with toys! Anything that you prefer for your dog I’m more than happy to accommodate to.
About: The main thing that sets me apart from other sitter’s is my genuine love and affection for animals & the fact I’m a dog mom helps me understand what other pet parents would need to feel secure and confident when it comes to trusting someone with their pets. In fact, nearly every dog Ive watched Ive gotten close with the owners and family and have been trusted and recommended by many. I would definitely enjoy taking care of your pet as well as loving them and treating them as my own for the time being they stay with me! Hope to meet them soon! I recently resigned from my two jobs leaving more availability in my schedule for what I love the most, which is watching and loving your fur baby! I have a big backyard for the dogs to run freely and play and use the bathroom in if they are house trained they are free to sleep at the foot of my bed in my room. I have a schedule where I feed my pup 3x a day but I’m definitely willing to make any adjustments for your doggy! Even if I have to take them out for a walk more often or feed them more often it’s not an issue whatsoever! I work from home full-time so im always nearby for anything when i have pups in my care. I under That sometimes dogs with anxiety can often find themselves getting into mischief when left alone too long. I have a gated backyard and all fuzzy babies stay in my bedroom when it’s bedtime so I can keep an eye on them at all times. If your doggy has any specific needs or care plan please let me know I’m always happy to hear how I can make their stay enjoyable. If you suspect that your dog may have separation anxiety please let me know so that way i can know to keep them extra close and adjust to them and their needs.
About: I’ve been dog/cat sitting for five years, and pet sitting for rodents, reptiles, and even pigs for the past two. I’ve had dogs for my entire life, and currently have two very large dogs and a small dog with special medical needs. I am home from college for the summer and dog sit as a job, so I have plenty of time to spend pet sitting and dog walking. I am able to take care of dogs of all sizes and varying medical needs, whether you need a dog walker or someone to care for them overnight.

“It was our dog's first night away from us and we feel so fortunate to have found Shaun S. Shaun and his family treated Betty with such love and took so much time to understand our dog, Betty's, routine and personality prior to her visit. It was so nice to receive so many pictures and even videos during her stay... he kept us posted the whole time. When I arrived to pick her up, Betty's tail was wagging as she "introduced" me to Shaun - along with his son and wife. What a lovely family and the perfect home to leave Betty. We already booked 2 more stays!”

“Ekaterina took the best care of our dog, Charlie. She communicated with us daily, keeping us in touch with our Charlie’s day. Charlie looked so happy and comfortable which made us even happier and more comfortable. We’re grateful that we found someone who can give us peace of mind when we go away and have to leave Charlie behind. We will definitely look for Ekaterina again for any future stays.”
“Our mini-bernedoodle, Luna, had a wonderful 9 night stay with Jaqi and Andre. This was Luna's first time away from family, so she was a little nervous at first, but with Jaqi's love, she was able to adapt to the new surroundings well and make many new doggie friends. Jaqi had incredible communication, sending us a note and picture of Luna within 10 minutes of us first dropping her off, showing us that Luna was already settling in. Throughout our trip, Jaqi sent links to fun videos (also posted to her Instagram) of Luna and the other dogs playing. Jaqi has a wonderful backyard for the dogs to explore and her dog Andre is an incredible doggie-host! Will definitely book with Jaqi and Andre again when we are away on family vacations and plan to also bring Luna over for a periodic doggie daycare day. Thanks for being so good to Luna, Jaqi!!”
“Briaan was great with Russell! She was warm and caring; he loved her immediately. This was our first time using a sitter and Russell’s first time away from home. She sent me lots of pictures, texts, and videos throughout my time away. Wonderful experience - put my heart at ease.”
“So happy we found Michele. She took Momo out on a walk multiple times a day and sent us plenty of pictures. For a picky dog like ours Michele really fit the bill. Would 100% recommend.”
“My dog was very happy and got lots of attention and cuddles during her stay. She clearly enjoyed being with Amrit and his daughter. I got updates and photos throughout the weekend. Highly recommend.”
“I had a great experience with John. I booked on short notice and he was very flexible with scheduling, which I really appreciated. He took excellent care of Carl while I was away and gave me real peace of mind the entire time. Communication was solid, and I received updates throughout Carl’s stay — it was clear he was being very well looked after. When I picked him up, he was calm, healthy, and completely himself, which tells you everything you need to know about the level of care he provides. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with John again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter.”
“Jaina was very responsive when we had a last minute booking for our dog. He was well taken care of and we got daily updates about how he was doing. Brewster is excited to visit again soon!”
“Nadine & Tom were fantastic caretakers for our dog, Ellie. This was our first time using someone outside of family to watch her, so we were a bit nervous, but we couldn’t have been more thrilled with the experience. We were looking for someone warm and attentive who would give Ellie personalized care, and that’s exactly what we found with Nadine and Tom. Ellie can be anxious around other dogs, so it meant so much to us that she was able to stay with Nadine and Tom one-on-one. They truly made her feel comfortable and at home. We especially appreciated the daily photos and thoughtful updates, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Nadine & Tom and would absolutely book with them again.”
“This is the 2nd time we left our furry baby with Carmela (for two weeks this time) It is like dropping Buddy off at a friend’s house. She is wonderful. She sent us photos and kept us updated on how he is doing. If he was not eating properly, she checked on what she could do to make him eat. Her dog also easily gets along with other dogs.”
“Doug and Luiz were both very warm and clearly TOTAL dog lovers! Sunny was perfectly cared for, communication was excellent, and she had a great time at "camp"! Thank you!!!”
“Lucas and Katherine were great. Our dog had never stayed overnight with a sitter. They allowed him to sleep on their bed, take him out in the car so he wouldn’t be by himself, and even gave me some useful insights. They really love dogs.”
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Connor was wonderful with Mickey. Easy going with pickup and drop-off. His cousin Patrick who lives with him was very friendly as well. It was nice to know there was always someone in the house with our beloved pup. We had a situation come up with Mickey that was out of our control and Connor handled the situation so well. He completely put us at ease and went out of his way to make sure things were totally under control. It was such a relief when we were away. 10/10 would recommend for your pet and would trust him again with my own anytime. Thanks so much Connor.”
“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”
“Jonathan, as usual, is an amazing sitter. I never worry about my pup and he’s always happy being dropped off and picked up. If you’d like a worry free time away from your dog, don’t hesitate to book with Jonathan.”
“We are incredibly thankful to Rajan for boarding our dog, Loki, for a little over two weeks. Loki was so well cared for and looked genuinely happy throughout her stay. She loved getting to play with other pups, which made the experience even better for her. Rajan is clearly an animal lover and treated Loki as if she were his own. We also really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We’re very grateful for the care and attention Rajan provided and would highly recommend him.”
