“This was my puppy’s first time not sorting at home since I got her in November and I was terrified. Maisha offered a video call, showed me her home and where my pup would sleep, and answered all 800 of my questions. This is my first pet ever so I have no idea what to do, bring, or expect and Maisha made me feel so comfortable. Safe to say, I’ve found my dog sitter for life💜”

“Ivanna was amazing with my baby and provided reliable and professional dog boarding in the Union NJ area. She created a safe and caring environment and followed all of her care instructions perfectly. My baby felt comfortable and happy throughout the entire stay, and the frequent photo updates gave me so much peace of mind. She came home relaxed, well fed, and clearly loved. I highly recommend Ivanna to anyone looking for trustworthy overnight dog boarding or a caring pet sitter, and I will definitely book with her again.”

This was a complete win and will be Milky’s go to going forward! So grateful and he had such a good time!!!”
“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!

“George was so amazing to Turbo!! his little dog and Turbo got along very well. He gave me a daily update and took Turbo on nice walks. I really appreciate him working with my flight schedule.

“Had such a wonderful experience with Johara as a dog sitter! From the very beginning, the attentiveness and genuine care for my 2 dogs was evident. Time was devoted to understand each of their personalities and routines, which made me feel completely at ease knowing they were in such capable hands. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touches, especially the special treats—it was such a sweet gesture, and my pups absolutely loved it! I was also kept updated with frequent messages, and photos, which gave much peace of mind while away. I will happily book again. Highly recommended, Johara!”

About: I always love working with pets and getting to know their individual personalities. I have several years of experience caring for cats. Through my previous experiences, I have become comfortable caring for cats with various personalities, routines, and needs. I am patient, responsible, attentive and dependable, and I always make sure that your pets receive plenty of care, attention, and exercise. I understand how important it is for cats parents to feel confident that their pets are safe and well cared for, and I take that responsibility seriously. I look forward to working with you and your pet!
“Excellent sitter for my 8 year old husky Rudy and my 2 1 year old Manx cats Remi and Rio. She stayed in my house for a whole week and she took very good care of them. I would definitely be reaching out to her for my next vacation. Thank you so much Karollyne!”
“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.”

“Nicolle was a wonderful sitter to my cat while I was out on a holiday. She took great care of her while also making sure my home was in a good state for my cat. She is very caring and so loving towards my cat. She played with her, brushed her, petted her. She also made sure all the details were taken care of. Will recommend her and take her services once again :)”
“Kayla was absolutely WONDERFUL with our two cats. Our cats are still acclimating to one another, and not only did she spend time with each of them but she did an amazing job at having them play together, listening to them if they had enough, and overall giving them many positive bonding experiences with each other. I also have a much more involved feeding routine/schedule for them than most people, and she followed everything perfectly. I always looked forward to her reports and pictures, and she was very thorough on her stay and how the cats were acting/feeling. I'm 100% sure they will miss her (especially Filo) and I will definitely call on Kayla again in the future!”
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.
“Jade was incredible with my cat Daphne! She sent lots of pictures and videos and gave great updates. She spent lots of quality time with her and I came home to a very content kitty :)”
“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!”
“Lehan took good care of my baby and she was very kind to accommodate the last minute request. We really appreciate it! She also followed our care instructions! I recommend booking with her and will definitely rebook!”
About: I have always loved animals but was unable to start owning my own dogs until about 11 years ago. I've had two different pit bulls but have been the proud owner of my Puggle, Mama, for the longest time out of the three. Her owner was about to surrender her to the pound so I jumped in and re-homed her. Over the years, I learned a lot about puppies, walking, training, feeding, dog behavior and veterinary care. My dogs have ranged in age from under one to over 13 so I have experience with dogs of all ages. I am accustomed to walking dogs in all kinds of weather also! I don't have a yard but there is a park very close to my house where I can walk your dog(s). Your pooch will have no shortage of love, companionship and playtime! I also can administer medication if needed. I am currently working from home so I will be able to provide plenty of attention and follow routines with ease. I do go to the gym 4 to 5 times a week and other than that if I leave the house I'm not gone for long. I am able to schedule errands/outings around caring for your pet. I do not have a yard but I live less than a block away from a park that is pet friendly. I am accustomed to walking a dog daily and anticipating his or her needs because I have owned a dog for years. However, my dog Mama, is a semi-permanent resident at my parents' house in Delaware so I am able to provide undivided attention to your pet(s). I don't have children or any other pets in the house. I typically do not allow pets on the couch or in my bed but I can put a cover on the couch if need be and pets can sleep on a dog bed in my room at night.
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).

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.

“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.”
About: Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, not just a service I provide. I offer dog sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits, with care tailored to each pet’s personality, routine, and emotional needs. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or calm and senior, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Daily activities may include: Long or short walks based on energy level Feeding according to your schedule and dietary needs Playtime, enrichment activities, and mental stimulation Frequent photo and video updates for peace of mind I treat every dog as an individual, never rushing interactions and always prioritizing their well-being. I have long lasting experience taking care of dogs, more than 10 years. I can take walk dogs after 3 pm every day. I am a teacher, and I currently work every morning until 3 pm. I would walk dogs after 3:30 pm to make my day full. I would follow any direction the pet owner gives me. I would make sure the pet is comfortable and most of all I would keep everybody and everything safe.
“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.”
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.
“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 :)”
“My dogs had a great time with Te and I appreciate that she had availability at the last minute for both of them. She gave me some feeding advice to help my newly adopted dog put in much needed weight and it was super helpful because she's put on most of the weight she needs.”

About: Cant think of time where I haven’t been around a dog. Growing up there was always dogs in the house. It comes easy to me. For my 2 dogs it starts at 345am with their first walk before I head to the gym. There 2nd walk comes at 8am before I start work then again at 2pm for a quick lunch break and their last 2 walks come at 5 and 930pm before settling down for the night. In between all the walking they’ll get breakfast and dinner and some naps. Meet and greet is important along with getting to know the pets needs and routines. Along with likes and dislikes. Knowing what the pet parents wants and expects from visits or boarding.

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).
“My dog walker has been fantastic! Always on time, very reliable, and a great communicator. He was very good with my senior pup spikey :). I appreciate the consistent and professional service. Highly recommend him!”

“Karollyne was so great with my two fur babies. She is reliable and with my busy schedule and last minute changes her afternoon schedule was always flexible with mine. She took such great care of my babies and anyone looking for a sitter will be lucky to have her.”

“Amazing experience with Mimi’s dog sitter! They were caring, reliable, and kept us updated the whole time. Mimi was happy and well taken care of. Highly recommend!”
“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 and Phil were amazing they exceeded all my expectations were very accommodating due to my flight schedules. They were very patient and updated me on my ivys status I wouldn’t want to choose any other sitter thank you guys you are the best. I appreciate everything you guys have done!!! I can’t thank you enough.”
“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.”
“Nicolle and Rolando were the definition of perfection! Flexible with my last minute booking due to unexpected travel, tons and tons of pictures, amazing communication and I truly felt my fur baby was in the very very best hands! This was a complete win and will be Milky’s go to going forward! So grateful and he had such a good time!!!”
“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!”
“Had such a wonderful experience with Johara as a dog sitter! From the very beginning, the attentiveness and genuine care for my 2 dogs was evident. Time was devoted to understand each of their personalities and routines, which made me feel completely at ease knowing they were in such capable hands. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touches, especially the special treats—it was such a sweet gesture, and my pups absolutely loved it! I was also kept updated with frequent messages, and photos, which gave much peace of mind while away. I will happily book again. Highly recommended, Johara!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!”
“I’m usually very nervous about leaving Benji, he’s wary of strangers and takes a long time to warm up. That’s why I was genuinely surprised at how quickly he trusted Akshay. While I was away, Akshay was consistently responsive and communicative, which gave me real peace of mind. He was also extremely flexible and worked with me on dropoff/ pickup, which made everything easier. It’s obvious he truly cares about animals and has a lot of empathy; Sirus’s excellent manners are a reflection of that. When Benji got injured, it was heartwarming to see how much Akshay truly cared. He continued to check in even weeks after the booking ended to see how he was doing. I find it difficult to find people with his level of transparency who build a lot of trust. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again.”
“Our dog had a wonderful stay. You can tell Ekaterina loves animals. Our dog was comfortable with her from the moment they met. It was so comforting to know our pet was in such good hands. We got a lot of pictures and you could tell our dog was enjoying her stay with Ekaterina's family.”
“I had a great experience with Ruth! She took excellent care of Valentino and kept me updated throughout his stay, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Valentino was very happy and well cared for. I truly appreciate how attentive, responsible, and loving she was with him. I would definitely recommend her and would gladly have her take care of Valentino 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!!”
“Amanda was great with Max, he struggles with separation anxiety, and Amanda was able to handle him very well, with photos of him walking and sleeping made us very comfortable. Thank you Amanda and family !”
“Marlo was wonderful! She sent me daily photos and kept me updated about pickup and drop-off times, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely recommend her and will gladly book with her again!”
“I was so grateful Tanacka agreed to watch Mimi last minute. I was happy her children showed Mimi so much attention. She thrives off of attention. Mimi was not ready to leave. Thank you Tanacka for taking good care of Mimi!”
“We had the absolute best experience boarding Buddy with Natasha! From the moment we dropped him off, Natasha made us feel completely comfortable and reassured us that Buddy was going to be well taken care of. It’s not always easy leaving your dog somewhere, but Natasha was so kind, caring, and attentive, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Buddy had such a great time and was treated like part of the family! We could tell he was happy, comfortable, and getting lots of love and attention. Natasha was also great with communication, and knowing that Buddy was in such good hands made our trip so much more enjoyable. We are so grateful for the wonderful care she gave Buddy and for treating him with so much love. He was clearly very happy during his stay! We will absolutely be booking with Natasha again in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and responsible to care for their fur baby. Thank you so much, Natasha, for taking such great care of our Buddy! We truly appreciate you!”
“We had a great first boarding experience for our cat Mango. Zhiyuan was flexible with last-minute changes and kept us updated with photos and videos throughout. Mango settled in quickly, did really well, and came home happy. Would absolutely book again!”
“I had such a wonderful first-time dog-sitting experience thanks to Starry and Gio. They are absolutely awesome and took amazing care of Billion. It's like a winter camp for him. I got tons of cute photos and message updates, which kept me totally worry-free the whole time. I would highly recommend them and will definitely book again!”
“100% recommend Kaitlyn & Josh for your boarding needs! They watched our golden retriever for a week while we were away and we felt like he was at a family members house with how happy and comfortable they made him! We received so many updates as well that gave us piece of mind. We will definitely be booking again!”
