“I felt very confident leaving my elderly dog Blue with Paul. Paul gave him his medications and special concoction of food with no problem. He set Blue up for comfort and ease while I traveled, and sent me photos and updates for my peace of mind. I highly recommend Paul for your pet sitting needs!”
“Karina spent a full week caring for my dog J. They were a great fit together .. and I was very pleased with how much she enjoyed her time with him. Abundant communication throughout each day: pictures, videos, and notes about activities, and how he was adjusting. It was a great comfort to know he was being well cared for, and given so much positive attention & love. Truly above and beyond my expectations. I am sure J is looking forward to seeing Karina again.!!”
“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!”

“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)!”
“Jacki is awesome! You can tell she loves what she does. My two chiweenies absolutely loved her and Andre! They’re very needy and have their quirks and Jacki accommodated them so well. Great updates provided that made me feel at ease while out of town. Appreciated her report cards, as well. Will be going back to Jacki again!”
“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!”

“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”
“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!”

We feel confident while we're away that he is not only cared as an individual pup, but he is enjoyed by the family as well!”
“Thank you so much for watching Duncan, Carine! From your communication to all the great pictures, we felt so comfortable knowing that Duncan was in great hands with you. We will definitely rebook with you again!”
“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.”
“This was my first time letting my dog overnight board anywhere— and it was the best experience for both me and him. Jessica took us in very last minute and was communicative the whole time. I was states away, yet I always knew what my dog was doing and I got so many pictures of him smiling. Would 100% recommend!”
“Michele was great with Tito! She gave plenty of updates and photos. It was our first time using Rover in a long time, and Michele made it easy. 10/10 would definitely recommend her for any dog sitting needs!”

Would recommend Roselie to anyone looking for a sitter for cats!”

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.

“Jaclynn was great! It’s always nerve wracking bringing your high energy, loud, dog to someone’s house for the first time! But, Jaclynn made us feel very comfortable! We love how she has an instagram page dedicated to watching pets so we can see cute videos and pictures throughout the day! We will be using Jaclynn’s services in the future!”
“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!!!!”
“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!”
“Briaan took good care of our little girl. The meet and greet was smooth. Our dog was comfortable with Briaan. She kept us informed during the sitting. She responded fast to the message. Will come back.”

“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”
“Kat was great! We recently moved to the area from a city and we were very nervous we weren’t going to find as good and reliable people on Rover but Kat proved us wrong! Nash loved staying at her house and was so excited to go back the next day! We hope to use Kat again in the future!”

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. I treat every animal like my own, send lots of photo updates, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed while their people are away. I’m a college student, so my availability is best during school breaks and holidays.

I always double‑check doors, gates, and leashes, and I watch for any changes in behavior or appetite that might signal a problem. I’m respectful of your home, keep things tidy, and send clear updates and photos so you always know how your pets are doing.
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've worked with dogs of all sizes and ages, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I ensure they get the care they need while keeping you updated, so you can have complete peace of mind knowing your pet is in great hands. I work from home full-time , so I’m always available to give your pet the attention and care they need throughout the day. I’m flexible for all services on weekends and weekdays. I would take care of your home as my own, I work for a small cleaning company in New Jersey called YLSCSERVICES LLC and I guarantee I will always leave your house looking better then I found it!

“I felt very confident leaving my elderly dog Blue with Paul. Paul gave him his medications and special concoction of food with no problem. He set Blue up for comfort and ease while I traveled, and sent me photos and updates for my peace of mind. I highly recommend Paul for your pet sitting needs!”
“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!”
“Jacki is awesome! You can tell she loves what she does. My two chiweenies absolutely loved her and Andre! They’re very needy and have their quirks and Jacki accommodated them so well. Great updates provided that made me feel at ease while out of town. Appreciated her report cards, as well. Will be going back to Jacki again!”
“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”
“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!”
“Michele was great with Tito! She gave plenty of updates and photos. It was our first time using Rover in a long time, and Michele made it easy. 10/10 would definitely recommend her for any dog sitting needs!”
“Bobbi has stayed with Areli and family twice; everyone is wonderful and kind. We would definitely have Bobbi stay again. The frequent photo/video updates are great and put us at ease while we are away.”
“Kate was great and was so flexible with our crazy holiday travel plans. She sent frequent photos and assured me my dog was doing just fine. She was communicative, prompt and was a total life saver for us! Would absolutely book with Kate and her sweet family again.”
“Amrit was fantastic! Super communicative and kind. I could tell our cat was well taken care of for the week he spent with Amrit. Amrit was also very flexible and understanding with changes in plans. HIGHLY recommend and would 1000p book with him again!”
“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.”
“Briann was great with sky. Sky left with a smile on her face. She also sent over many videos and pictures,and was very responsive. I am happy that I found someone close to me that I can trust watching my daughter. Thanks.”
“Jackie was super sweet with our girl Indy. She was very sweet upon our first meet and greet! We felt very comfortable traveling knowing Indy was in Jackie’s care. On our trip she updated us multiple times a day with photos as well. Thanks so much again :)”
“Lucas & Katherine kept us updated and treated our Bentley with nothing but love and care! We look forward to having them as our new sitters! They are amazing!”
“Erinn was great! She was very quick to respond to all my messages and updated me every day with how things were going with Mochi. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Trista and Bill were excellent. My dog usually gets separation anxiety when away from me. But they managed to calm her down and settle down. This was only a short stay - 2 nights. But I expect to use their service again, for longer durations while I plan to do some traveling.”
