“Another excellent stay with Maisha. Bentley always has a great experience and enjoys playing and making new friends. She provides excellent care and keeps me consistently updated with photos, which I truly appreciate. I also value the way she treats Bentley with the same care and attention as her own. Thank you again!”

“Jenny was great, patience, kind and communicative. She sent pictures and replied to our messages. Most importantly she was sweet to our fearful dog Tessa and made her feel safe. I would recommend her to anyone.”


“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Hsin Yun & Phi were fantastic! They were super responsive and let me check out their place beforehand, which really put my mind at ease. Throughout the trip, they kept sending me updates and photos of my dog, which I really appreciated. When my flight got cancelled because of the government shutdown, they were incredibly flexible and understanding about keeping my dog longer. Honestly, their willingness to help during such a chaotic situation meant so much to me. My dog was clearly happy and well taken care of. Would definitely book with them again!”


About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and am comfortable adapting to all personalities ~ from energetic and social to more shy or sensitive. Growing up, our home always had multiple dogs, so I’m very used to different temperaments, routines, and dynamics. I’ve also had hands-on experience supporting pregnant dogs and caring for litters, including situations where extra attention and patience were needed early on. Over time, I’ve learned that every dog is different, and I take the time to understand their behavior, energy, and needs so they feel safe and comfortable. My own dog is very social and friendly, and since we’re new to the area, she would love to make some new friends as well. I’m happy to care for your dog in whatever way they need ~ whether that’s boarding, drop-in visits, or a relaxed walk around your neighborhood. My goal is always to provide dependable care and make the experience easy and stress-free for both you and your pet. I look forward to connecting with you! I currently work full-time in a hybrid remote role. I offer my services on days I’m working from home so I can give your dog consistent attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. If you need boarding services, you can expect that your dog would spend their time lounging in my home with me and my dog, Khalesi. We have a fenced-in dog park within the community, but I prefer to take them on long strolls near the grassy areas so they can get plenty of new smells to sniff.

“Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of our little boy!! He was so comfortable with you!! We will definitely have you care for him again when we are in the area! Also, we are very appreciative that you agreed to watch him on such short notice!!”

“We can’t say enough wonderful things about our dog’s 6-night stay. They took such amazing care of her, giving her all her medications on time, playing with her, and even working with her on her walking skills. They kept us updated every day with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She spent her days happily playing with their sweet dog Luna, and the whole environment was so calm, loving, and relaxing. Most importantly, they gave our dog a true feeling of home: warmth, comfort, and so much love. Nicolle and Ronaldo went above and beyond, they even helped us with picking her up and bringing her back, which made everything so much easier for us. We are incredibly grateful for the way Nicolle and Ronaldo treated her. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay, and we will definitely be back. Highly, highly recommended! 🐾❤️”

“Could not recommend Sanaz enough, she is communicative, charismatic and reasonably flexible about drop off and pick up. We have a big, high energy dog and he came home a tired boy!”


“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”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!”

“Ayush was wonderful with our dog! He made sure he was comfortable in his house and that he got along with his dogs. Super communicative and sent us plenty of pics! Will definitely book with Ayush again!”

“I am very happy with Caroline, she was very welcoming and we did a visit before actual booking. This was my fist time using this service. I definitely RECOMMEND booking Caroline she was amazing she sends plenty of updates and photos. My Hart had an awesome time. Thank you Caroline you are the best.❤️❤️👏🏽👏🏽”

“Rochelle was absolutely amazing! She watched after our boy Ham for two weeks while we were in Europe for our wedding/honeymoon and she kept us updated everyday with pics and messages. Truly gave us peace of mind that our boy was well looked after while we were gone. Would 100% recommend!”

“Let me start by saying this was my first time using Rover ever. Andrew was so helpful and reassuring and explained everything to me. Additionally, while I was away he kept me up to date with texts and pictures of Finn. Finn had a great time with Andrew and you can just tell Andrew knew exactly how to best care for my puppy. Thank you so much!!”

“Jane was so lovely and her dog Fancy is so cute! Our puppers needed a one night boarding while we were at a wedding. Jane took great care of him and sent so many photos, videos, and updates throughout the night and the next morning. She asked great questions if she was unsure of things. I loved the communication and flexibility Jane provided. Our dog was so happy when we came back to pick him up which let us know he had a great time at Jane’s! Would definitely recommend as a sitter!”

“Karollyne was communicative and attentive. She shared multiple photos each time she dropped in on our two cats. It was a long trip and I was nervous about being away, but Karollyne made me feel at ease.”


“I highly recommend working with Jeanette. She took excellent care of my shy, senior rescue cat while I was away for Thanksgiving. She’s super responsive, thorough, and incredibly responsible. I hope to work with her again in the future :)”

“Deli was great, quite everything you could ask for. Incredibly communicative and went above and beyond in my home to make sure I came back from vacation with very little to do. My kitty, Willow, was well cared for and happy when I returned. Will deff book again in the future.”


“Irisdelie was amazing, great communication and so so wonderful with my cats. Provided great updates with adorable pictures after each visit. I felt very comfortable and happy knowing my babes were being well cared for and loved while I was away.”


“Lilian was absolutely amazing with our cat, Loki! She was kind, professional, and incredibly attentive to Loki’s routine and care while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Loki was in such loving and capable hands. We couldn’t recommend Lilian more highly!”


“Nicolle is amazing! She did a great job taking care of our cats while we were away. She followed all the instructions, was very kind and communicative and the cats felt comfortable with her. She also took care of our apartment. Highly recommended!”


About: As a cat owner myself, I have 5 years of hands-on experience caring for cats and understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and boundaries. I’m comfortable with feeding, litter box care, playtime, grooming, and administering medications when needed. I pay close attention to small changes in behavior, appetite, bathroom habits, and energy levels. I’m also patient with shy or cautious cats and always let them warm up to me at their own pace. I’ll keep you updated while you’re away and treat your cat with the same care and attention I give my own.
About: Unfortunately, I do not have professional experience as a pet sitter, but I have enjoyed playing with pets since childhood and have a special fondness for them. Whenever possible, I play with, walk, and help care for the pets of my friends, family, and partners. I currently work part-time with other apps, so I don't have schedule flexibility. So I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets. I am available to stay at your home and visit your pet while you are away, if necessary. I live in an apartment that doesn't allow pets, but I am available and flexible enough to stay at your home and look after your pet—feeding, walking, and providing all the care they need and deserve, along with plenty of affection and attention, of course. I am very organized and meticulous about every detail.

“We got so lucky with Lehan! She took such great care of our kitties, provided a ton of cute photos, and was excellent at communication throughout her pet sitting stay with our cats. Will absolutely book again 👌🏻😊”

“Neide was amazing with cat. She sent videos daily and gave me updates daily. He was so comfortable and content with her. Which made me feel so much better therefore I was able to enjoy my vacation more. I highly recommend Neide and will definitely use her for my next vacation.”

“Kayla was incredible with my 6-month-old kitten. She stayed on top of all of Yohji's daily needs and managed to get in tons of playtime with my energetic kitten. Kayla was also very communicative and handled Yohji unexpectedly going into heat like a pro! Thank you for taking such good care of her while I was away!”


“Joni was a wonderful sitter for Tigger! She communicated well throughout the stay and took great care of him — including giving him his medication and gently comforting him when he was scared. The only minor hiccup was with the Rover card check-in timing (either forgetting or tapping a bit too early), but that’s a small thing. Overall, I’d highly recommend her and would definitely book again!”


“Jade was exceptional! Her communication and photos the whole time were perfect and she bonded so well with my cat. I would absolutely work with Jade again the next time I need a cat sitter. She asked questions and got to know my cat and her habits during our meet and greet and followed all instructions we left perfectly!”

About: Hi, I’m Aria✨ I’m a JC local who enjoys long walks at the park (with your dog). My love for animals started when I volunteered to dog-walk and help find dogs a home at an SPCA in Charleston, SC for 3 yrs. Since then, I’ve been taking care of my family, friends, and neighbors dogs :) I’ll only confirm a dog-walk and dog sitting shift if I’m working from home and can guarantee I can be present with your fur baby •Affection (dogs love company that make them feel comfortable and loved). I’m always sure to make them feel seen and cared for. It can be tough on them being away from their caregiver. So affection goes a long way. •Making sure they’re fed & hydrated (always attending them according to their usual/specific routine).

“Thanks for taking great care of my Jersey boy! I appreciate you taking him out for a walk on a rainy day. He loved the attention and hopefully made new friend. Will book again soon!”

Keeping a healthy and loving environment for the pet to go through this moment in the most friendly and loving way. As for my house is on the second floor but your pet will have a good time walking in the park across the street.
“This was the last daycare I had with Jennifer before my sweet elderly Xander passed. Xander had come to like Jennifer and over time, started to show excitement when he saw her. So this final rating was given by the dog. Xander had many medical needs and Jennifer accepted all of them. Xander passed yesterday and I contacted her to inform her and thank her. I didn't mention this but I was feeling regret about not checking the box asking for pictures all day long. SHE STARTED SENDING ME PICTURES. I"M CRYING BIG TEARS THANK YOU.”

“I am extremely satisfied with the service I received. Luna was taken care of, very well, and the communication (written/visually) was outstanding! I am very pleased with the attention, and we will be back soon! Thanks very much! We are both very happy Rovers.”


“Aishan & Bhumi accomodated my same day request to watch my dog while I had to run a few errands. I really appreciate their timely communication and taking such good care of Fidel. I would trust them to watch him again.”

About: As a devoted dog enthusiast, I have accumulated over two decades of expertise in pet care and have been a dog owner for 25 years. My two English cocker spaniels hold a special place in my heart, making them my absolute world, alongside my spaniel before my current two that I had for 17 years, who passed away in 2019. Spaniels hold a special place in my heart. As a remote worker with a highly flexible schedule, I am able to be present with the puppies and dogs regardless of whether it is a weekend or a weekday. Residing in a two-story townhouse, I do not have a backyard, but I do have three balconies. Additionally, there is a park located nearby. I also have two English cocker spaniels, who are siblings, named Parker and Riley. They are friendly and calm after the initial few minutes. Parker and Riley are both six years old, and my husband and I ensure their well-being by keeping them well-groomed. We consistently monitor their eyes, perform regular teeth brushing, and ensure that their paws and nails are in optimal condition.
“Jeanette was a great sitter for Mr Pickles! Great communication throughout while she cared for our pet, and very friendly and easy going. Her golden doodle was also great with our furry baby, she kept us up to date throughout the day with pictures and video, totally recommended :)”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years for family and friends, and I’m excited to welcome new furry guests into my home. I provide a calm, loving environment where every dog is treated like family. My sweet Yorkshire Terrier, Nina, enjoys meeting new friends and helps make visiting dogs feel right at home. To ensure every pup has enough space and individual attention, I only accept dogs up to 15 pounds. I work from home full-time, so I’m able to provide consistent care and supervision throughout the day. I can easily follow your dog’s regular schedule for meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of affection. My flexible routine allows me to give each guest the attention they deserve instead of leaving them home alone for long periods. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my highest priorities. I live in a quiet, walkable neighborhood that’s perfect for daily strolls, and my home is clean, secure, and designed to help small dogs feel comfortable. Because my space is best suited for smaller pups, I only host dogs up to 15 pounds, ensuring everyone has room to relax and play safely. I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay so you can enjoy complete peace of mind.
About: Since a child, home has always been made complete with pets, and that is where a genuine love for animals began within me. I’ve been around different breads and ages, from shitzu to pit bull and puppies to seniors, which gave me a broader understanding in the proper care (feeding structure, walking/exercise, pet proofing environments, etc.) and comfort required for each individual pet. The years of experience that I’ve had with these incredible fur babies has led me to ultimately pursuing my passion in helping others care for theirs! I am currently working from home, leaving me with an overall open and flexible schedule. Pet daycare is available Monday-Friday until 6pm (weekends can be further discussed). Also, due to involvement with my home church, Sundays I typically have to leave for a couple hours in the morning, for anyone interested in pet boarding availability. My home is a pet-proofed, cozy house with a spacious, fenced-in backyard, located near a park only a few minutes away walking distance. There aren’t any children nor any pets at home, creating plenty of space for your pet to safely and freely enjoy! While caring for your pets, I always prioritize following their set schedules as well, in regard to their feeding, exercise, potty, rest, and medication (if necessary). I want every owner to feel peace while they are away, so I make sure to provide consistent communication and photos/videos updates throughout the stay!
“Michelle is great to work with. My pup returned content and tired, which indicates he had a good day. The updates and photos provided throughout the day were appreciated. Highly recommended!”


“Absolutely AMAZING experience! Our dog was so well cared for and clearly loved every minute. We got great updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind. It’s such a relief finding someone we trust completely with our pup. Highly recommend, we will definitely be booking again and again!”

Having 20+ years of professional pet care experience, giving owners confidence that their pets are in knowledgeable hands Paws N Claws Pet Service is a full-time part of my daily and weekly routine.

I provide personalized, in-home care that keeps pets comfortable in their familiar environment and follows their normal routine as closely as possible.

If needed, I can administer medications according to the owner’s instructions and monitor each pet for any changes in behavior or health. I also send regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. Every pet is treated with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I would give my own.
“Thanks for taking care of cheese yesterday. He is a bit of anxious dog, and I appreciate your patience to make him feel comfortable. I look forward to more sessions!”
“Cooper loved her time over at Gabriela's house! We ended up picking her up later than expected, and her and her family was so sweet and understanding. We'll definitely be using her again!!”

“Selim took excellent care of our puppy, Coco. From the start, it was clear he’s attentive and responsible. He made sure Coco got regular potty and pee breaks, followed his meal schedule properly, and kept a close eye on him throughout the day. What stood out the most was the consistent communication. Selim provided regular updates, which gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing Coco was doing well and comfortable. Caring for a young puppy isn’t easy, but he handled it with patience and care. Coco came back happy and well taken care of. We’d definitely trust Selim again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable daycare.”

About: I have cared for other people's dogs--roommates, friends, neighbors--since childhood, many decades! I've lived with cats, dogs and birds. I said goodbye to my rescue Westie of almost 17 years during 2025, and I’m not ready for another long-term pet commitment yet. I puppy trained her (with trainer) from 4 months and provided senior care for the last few years. I am very patient when meeting new animal souls, allowing them to come to me when they’re ready. I have been taking shelter dogs on Afternoon Adventures and have been successful with helping to train dogs in my care. I am working part time and have a flexible schedule, and now that I'm pet-less, I am available, even on short notice. I have been going on walks/hikes in our beautiful parks (over 2 miles) and would prefer some four-legged company. I am very good at following your instructions, respectful of routines and choices you make, and sensitive to furry companions' needs. I'll send you lots of pics! I will board low-maintenance/energy pets in my home, not puppies or kittens.

Indoor play programs and I take them for walks. The floors are disinfected regularly for everyone's health.

“Jenny was great, patience, kind and communicative. She sent pictures and replied to our messages. Most importantly she was sweet to our fearful dog Tessa and made her feel safe. I would recommend her to anyone.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Hsin Yun & Phi were fantastic! They were super responsive and let me check out their place beforehand, which really put my mind at ease. Throughout the trip, they kept sending me updates and photos of my dog, which I really appreciated. When my flight got cancelled because of the government shutdown, they were incredibly flexible and understanding about keeping my dog longer. Honestly, their willingness to help during such a chaotic situation meant so much to me. My dog was clearly happy and well taken care of. Would definitely book with them again!”

“We can’t say enough wonderful things about our dog’s 6-night stay. They took such amazing care of her, giving her all her medications on time, playing with her, and even working with her on her walking skills. They kept us updated every day with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She spent her days happily playing with their sweet dog Luna, and the whole environment was so calm, loving, and relaxing. Most importantly, they gave our dog a true feeling of home: warmth, comfort, and so much love. Nicolle and Ronaldo went above and beyond, they even helped us with picking her up and bringing her back, which made everything so much easier for us. We are incredibly grateful for the way Nicolle and Ronaldo treated her. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay, and we will definitely be back. Highly, highly recommended! 🐾❤️”


“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”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!”

“Ayush was wonderful with our dog! He made sure he was comfortable in his house and that he got along with his dogs. Super communicative and sent us plenty of pics! Will definitely book with Ayush again!”

“Let me start by saying this was my first time using Rover ever. Andrew was so helpful and reassuring and explained everything to me. Additionally, while I was away he kept me up to date with texts and pictures of Finn. Finn had a great time with Andrew and you can just tell Andrew knew exactly how to best care for my puppy. Thank you so much!!”

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.
“Our dog Ziggy stayed with Eduardo for two and a half weeks over the holidays while we travelled abroad. Eduardo was incredibly accommodating - Ziggy takes medication twice a day and tends to need lots of one-to-one attention. He sent us pictures regularly and was available to answer questions/ send us updates during all times of the day. Ziggy was in great spirits when we picked him up and seemed. Very content. It's obvious that Eduardo and his family love dogs and are experienced looking after them. We recommend him enthusiastically!”

“Becky and family were such great pet sitters! They sent so many photos of my dog and I can tell from the photos that Juniper was in good hands. Excellent communicators. I would recommend them to anyone that wants their dog to feel comfortable while you are away.”

“My dog was very happy when I picked him up and dropped him off. He is generally very anxious and an older dog so I am always a little wary leaving him behind but I am glad we found Michael and he had a comfortable stay at Michael's house. Michael and his wife were wonderful and always very responsive and flexible with my last minute changes.”

“Jordano took great care of our pup Lincoln while we were out of town for a long weekend. He sent lots of pictures and kept us updated on how he was doing throughout the stay. Will definitely book with Jordano again!”

“Leaving my dog Hớn, who struggles with anxiety and PTSD, in someone else's care is always a challenge, but Orlando & Christina have been absolutely wonderful with him. Not only did they ensure he was well-fed and well-cared for, but their daily updates were a godsend during my busy travels across Europe. Initially, I was apprehensive about how Hớn, who is reserved and can be aggressive with strangers, would adapt. However, Orlando & Christina's patience and expertise won him over in no time. Their services are not only top-notch but also incredibly well-priced. Without a doubt, I'll be returning to them for all of Hớn's boarding needs. Their dedication and love for animals shine through in their exceptional service.”

“Pooja is amazing with my dog Waldo. We left him with her overnight and she took care of everything he needed, and more! She even made sure to spend time with him before the actual boarding just so he can get comfortable around her and her place. Pooja really went out of her way to ensure Waldo’s comfort. Waldo came back happy and with a bunch of new toys!!”

“Absolutely wonderful!!! The moment we dropped her off we knew we were in good hands. Shirley is amazing with dogs, will def use her again in the future.”

“Pratik and his wife are so great. Our dog loves them and they are consistently reliable. We feel at ease leaving our dog with them while we are away on trips. We get regular updates on how he’s doing and have never had any issues. We will continue booking them.”


“This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t be happier with how it went! Manuel took such great care of my dog, Shadow. He’s usually a little moody after staying at boarding facilities, but this time he came home happy, calm, and clearly well-loved. It was such a relief knowing he was being cared for in a home environment, and Manuel made the whole process easy and stress-free. I got updates, photos, and could tell Shadow was getting plenty of attention and even some good dog socializing. I’ll definitely be booking with Manuel again — highly recommend”


“Paige took such great care of our pups, Trooper and Leia! She sent regular updates and they came back healthy, happy, and clean. She even sent them home with a toy that they enjoyed while staying with her. We recommend Paige to any pet parent!”
