“Sujanna was WONDERFUL! She took thoughtful care of our Toby and went above and beyond. Toby got lots of love and attention the entire time he was there. Toby will definitely be back. We highly recommend Sujanna!!!”
“Very positive experience with a 5 night boarding stay with Carolina's family. She's very pleasant to deal with, and she seems to be a very experienced dog owner. My dog seems to have really enjoyed his stay, playing with her Sheepadoodle. They have a very nice enclosed backyard where the dogs can plan outside. It made it very easy to go away on vacation for the week knowing our dog was in good hands. Will definitely rebook in the future and would highly recommend.”
“Ricky had a great time spending the weekend with Britany and her family! We loved seeing all the pictures knowing that he was getting all the cuddles he needed. Will definitely use Britany again.”
“Siram and Rekha are a blessings to my family. Caliber my Golden Doddle is my whole world and the minute I met Siram and Rekha we bonded and I feel comfortable I was leaving Caliber in the best care and his 2nd home. Caliber gets along well with Milo. As long as they would have Caliber when I need a second home Siram and Rekha is my only option. Thank you both.”
“Rhea and Michael are very warm people. This was my Harleys first time away from us and he was happy and well taken care of. I recommend them to anyone is looking for a relaxing time away without worry. Rhea sent pictures and Harley looked very content!”

“Lisa was very kind and caring with my Junie. She sent me texts and pictures and I was put at ease immediately. I would definitely recommend her and look forward to using her services again.”
“Alarie and her family were absolutely wonderful with our dog. From the moment we met them, we felt completely at ease leaving him in their care. They created such a warm, loving environment for him, and it was clear throughout his stay that he was well cared for. Alarie was highly responsive and shared frequent updates and beautiful photos throughout his stay, which we really appreciated. We’re so grateful to Alarie and her family for treating our pup like one of their own. We would absolutely recommend them and would be very happy to have our pup stay with them again!”
“Ankita was absolutely wonderful with my pet. From the start, she was professional, reliable, and incredibly kind. She treated my pet like her own and made sure every detail was taken care of while I was away. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my pet felt comfortable and happy in her care. I truly appreciate the attention, love, and responsibility she showed. I highly recommend Anikita to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: With over 20 years of pet care experience, I’m excited to provide your furry loved ones with a safe, attentive home away from home. My experience includes caring for dogs, cats, and exotics such as rats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and reptiles. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, routine, and personality, and I make sure to follow instructions carefully. I make a point of spending plenty of quality time with the pets in my care, whether that means going for a long walk, playing, giving belly rubs, or simply keeping them company. Whether you’re looking for home visits, boarding, drop-ins, or daily walks, my goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing that your furry, beautiful best friend is in loving, attentive, and reliable hands while you’re away. I currently work a hybrid 8-4:30 schedule. I am available throughout the week and fully open on weekends to spend plenty of time with your pets! I live in a condo community that is amazing for walking and also has a communal back yard space. I have one friendly 4 year old dog named Pepper, and he loves other animals.
“Vanessa was amazing. I was leaving my dog with a non-family sitter for the first time, and as soon as I spoke with her, I knew my dog was in capable hands. She has extensive knowledge of dog needs. My dog is blind and requires insulin injections. Vanessa was able to describe how medication is applied. She sent me texts and photos of my dog throughout the day. Without a doubt, I would like Vanessa to look after my dog once more.”
“Marisol and family were great with our dog Anko. He’s a bit skittish and reserved but he seemed to have a good time there. We got pics and videos of him which was nice because the kids missed him. She was great to communicate with and flexible.”
“Callie loved her stay with Nataliya- - so much so that while we were on a brief vacation, so was Callie ! If there were more than 5 stars to rate Callie’s stay I would. So if you would like you pet to feel like they’re on vacation too, you know who to call :)”
“We would give 10 stars if we could! Tricia had our Labrador Retriever/Catahoula Leopard mix Lenny for a little over a week and it was the first time we had ever left him anywhere. At our first meeting, it was clear that Tricia has a tremendous amount of experience and know-how when it comes to dogs, and I knew immediately that we were in great hands. She calmed our nerves and assured us that she would keep us updated while we were away. She helped our guy settle into a routine quickly and she did an extraordinary job handling his food issues (we sent pre-made table food for her to give him). While we were away, she was an excellent communicator and sent us various pictures of him during different times of the day. He looked so happy that we were afraid he wouldn't want to come home! When we picked him up, he was happy, healthy, clean, and showed obvious affection towards Tricia. We are so incredibly relieved that we found her to watch Lenny if and when we need to travel without our boy. With gratitude, from Laura (Lenny's Mom).”
“I wanted to say thank you to Elizabeth and her family for taking such good care of 9. Initially, it was difficult to find someone that our family felt comfortable with in caring for our dog. Once we met Elizabeth, we knew it would be a GREAT fit. Thank you again, and you don't know how much we truly appreciate your level of care.”
“Karalyn was fantastic with Cookie! Booking through Rover was seamless, and her communication throughout the stay was wonderful. We loved receiving daily updates and pictures, which gave us total peace of mind. Cookie was happy and well cared for—we’ll definitely be booking with Karalyn again!”
“First time using Rover and this family was very accommodating. From their communication and assistance with app questions, the experience was hands down exceptional. We were away for 4 nights and they made us feel like Pickles was safe with our family. Could not recommend them any more.”
“Boo had a wonderful stay with Jillian and Andrew over Christmas. Really wished I could have taken Boo with us but was so happy that she was in the care of Jillian and Andrew. They updated us daily with photos and texts. Really nice people. Would absolutely recommend them to anyone!”

“Arabella was the best! Showed up as requested, took the time to show my cats attention, not just feed and run! It took me a long time to find a trustworthy person to take care of my babies. She is sent from heaven!!!”
About: My very first pet was a cat, and my love and understanding of cats continues to grow with me. From spontaneous antics of kittenhood to administering medication in their senior years, I’ve seen many cats through it all and look forward to meeting many more.
About: My family are all animal lovers and have had cats and dogs all my life, starting at 10. Our first cat was Toby, a beautiful golden boy, and when I was old enough, I afopted two kitties called Bonkers and Casey. Bonkers was named Bonkers for a reason, but that made me love him even more.
“Jill was lovely and able to help with a pretty last-minute request to drop in on our cats. They were well cared for and seemed to enjoy her visit. Thank you again, Jill!”
“This is the second time that we have used Andrew to drop in on our cat while we are away. Each time he has sent amazing pictures and given great updates for us so we would not worry while away. He is always quick to respond, and we know that he is going to care for Buggy just like we do. I definitely recommend booking with Andrew and know we will continue anytime we are away!”
“Avital was great my Moonbelle. It was my first time leaving her and was very nervous. Avital reassured me by sending me pictures daily and updating me on her visits. They had a lot of playtime. Thank you so much! Moonbelle and I appreciated having her take care of her while I was away.”
“Pam was great, very timely visits and lots of updates. My kitties looked very content in their daily photos and I felt like they were in very good hands while we were away. Definitely highly recommend and will hire again!”
“Joe is amazing pet sitter! He took such great care of my kitty! He sent pictures and videos of her ! He followed all the instructions to care for her! He also Loves animals! I will definitely hire him again!”
“Alexandra took excellent care of our cat, Luna. Besides taking a photo for each of her drop-in visits, she would occasionally send a video, as well as reach out to me to let me know how things were going. I really felt that Luna was in great hands. I would definitely hire her again!”
“I am very fortunate to have found Yang to take care of my girls for a week. Yang was extremely kind, trustworthy, communicative, caring, responsible, prepared, thoughtful and generous. In our meet and greet she brought a notebook, connected with my cats and asked great questions before leaving. She offered to bring her own brush to groom my one cat, wore shoe covers to keep my place clean and even brought her own litter bags to take away each day. The level of detail and attention she provided throughout the whole experience was something I have never experienced from a pet sitter and the genuine bond she formed with my cats made me exceedingly assured, content and happy knowing they had her presence and care while I was away. I can’t recommend Yang enough and will pick her as my sitter going forward.”
“Alexa was great! She was incredibly responsive and took good care of our two kitties while we were away. She kept us updated throughout, and we could tell she genuinely cared about our cats. We would absolutely book her again!”
“I have too many adjectives to describe Colleen. She was extremely trustworthy, communicative, accommodating, caring, thoughtful, kind, responsible and prepared. I always stress when I go away and leave my girls but Colleen alleviated that feeling almost entirely. She even stayed longer than needed the first night. I am very happy with how my girls were treated and will definitely pick Colleen as my sitter next time.”
“Jennifer is an amazing sitter and took very good care of Kingsley. I was worried I wouldn’t find a good cat sitter, but she checked all the points on my list. Very caring, friendly and respectful. 10/10”
About: My Cat Care Experience 🐱 Cats have been a part of my life since I was young. I grew up with two cats and have always loved getting to know their very different personalities, routines, and quirks. More recently, I rescued a kitten named Sallie, which gave me firsthand experience caring for a young cat and helping her feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a new environment. That experience made me appreciate even more how much patience and trust matter when caring for cats. I understand that cats often need a different approach than dogs — some want all the attention they can get, while others prefer having their space and getting comfortable with someone on their own terms. I’m happy to follow your cat’s normal routine, including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and, of course, plenty of attention and affection when they want it! I also know how stressful it can be leaving your cat in someone else’s care, so I’m happy to provide pictures and updates during every visit. My goal is to keep your cat comfortable in their own environment and give you peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾

“Vanessa was super helpful. Cooper is a very energetic puppy.He always gets excited when meeting new people or being in a new environment, and apparently he was excited and didn't nap the entire morning, but Vanessa was very patient in taking care of him and kept me informed throughout the day by sending me the updates and photos. Cooper looked happy when he was with Vanessa and when I picked him up. I'll definitely go back to Vanessa for help in the future.”
“Our little golden Havanese had a wonderful time with Irem and her husband! She spent the day with them on Friday, and was eager to go back the next day. She made a new friend, a beautiful golden retriever, who she enjoyed spending the day with. Irem gave her plenty of snuggle time, and she seemed perfectly content both days when we picked her up. This was our first Rover experience, and we were grateful it went so well! Thank you, Irem!”
“I was passing thru the area and wanted to make a brief stop to see the lilacs at the NJ Botanical Gardens. Since I read that dogs were not allowed, I needed to find a trustworthy sitter nearby. Wenxin to the rescue! She was so sweet and attentive, and my shy Havanese quickly warmed up to her. Should I ever be in the area again, I will definitely bring Cleo back!”

“My senior dog stayed a full day at Tricia’s. Her yard is full of fun things for the dogs to explore and both Tricia and her daughter are very experienced and knowledgeable about dogs which I really appreciated. Her own dog is such a sweetheart and he quickly adapted to my dog’s boundaries. Great communication overall! Tricia sent me lots of photo updates and checked in throughout the day. My dog was in a great mood when I picked her up which was such a relief for me since my dog has anxiety. So happy to have found Tricia and will book again!”

Whether it’s a midday walk, extra snuggles or sticking to their usual routine, I’m able to give them steady, reliable care all week long.

Since I don’t have any pets of my own, your dog gets my full attention and a stress‑free space with no competition for affection.

“Alexandra is incredibly kind and gentle. She was so patient with our Lani, who’s scared of just about everything, and really respected our request to keep greetings and goodbyes calm and low-key to help prevent separation anxiety. She takes her time, used the treats for getting boots on!) And gives Lani the full walk time without rushing.

About: My experience with pet sitting goes beyond just having my own. I have been watching other people's pets since I was a teenager and I am great with all dogs. I have my own dog so it's just part of my day. My daily routine includes walking feeding, playing and letting him roam free in the yard. I have a fenced in yard so pets can run free.

Family often depends on me for dog-sitting and spending time with their pets, as I love to engage with all pets through play and staying active.

I have experience with many different breeds of both dogs and cats, ensuring a safe environment for your pets. I understand I will be entering their space and will always make sure they are the most comfortable first!

I commute to class and am available for multiple days a week. I’m usually always available on the weekends! I have a fenced yard for my dog but she is not the friendliest. I tend to bring her to the dog park where she gets along with other dogs in a bigger/more open area.

“Very positive experience with a 5 night boarding stay with Carolina's family. She's very pleasant to deal with, and she seems to be a very experienced dog owner. My dog seems to have really enjoyed his stay, playing with her Sheepadoodle. They have a very nice enclosed backyard where the dogs can plan outside.

I make a point of spending plenty of quality time with the pets in my care, whether that means going for a long walk, playing, giving belly rubs, or simply keeping them company. Whether you’re looking for home visits, boarding, drop-ins, or daily walks, my goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing that your furry, beautiful best friend is in loving, attentive, and reliable hands while you’re away. I currently work a hybrid 8-4:30 schedule. I am available throughout the week and fully open on weekends to spend plenty of time with your pets! I live in a condo community that is amazing for walking and also has a communal back yard space. I have one friendly 4 year old dog named Pepper, and he loves other animals.
“Marisol and family were great with our dog Anko. He’s a bit skittish and reserved but he seemed to have a good time there. We got pics and videos of him which was nice because the kids missed him. She was great to communicate with and flexible.”
“We would give 10 stars if we could! Tricia had our Labrador Retriever/Catahoula Leopard mix Lenny for a little over a week and it was the first time we had ever left him anywhere. At our first meeting, it was clear that Tricia has a tremendous amount of experience and know-how when it comes to dogs, and I knew immediately that we were in great hands. She calmed our nerves and assured us that she would keep us updated while we were away. She helped our guy settle into a routine quickly and she did an extraordinary job handling his food issues (we sent pre-made table food for her to give him). While we were away, she was an excellent communicator and sent us various pictures of him during different times of the day. He looked so happy that we were afraid he wouldn't want to come home! When we picked him up, he was happy, healthy, clean, and showed obvious affection towards Tricia. We are so incredibly relieved that we found her to watch Lenny if and when we need to travel without our boy. With gratitude, from Laura (Lenny's Mom).”
“I wanted to say thank you to Elizabeth and her family for taking such good care of 9. Initially, it was difficult to find someone that our family felt comfortable with in caring for our dog. Once we met Elizabeth, we knew it would be a GREAT fit. Thank you again, and you don't know how much we truly appreciate your level of care.”
“Karalyn was fantastic with Cookie! Booking through Rover was seamless, and her communication throughout the stay was wonderful. We loved receiving daily updates and pictures, which gave us total peace of mind. Cookie was happy and well cared for—we’ll definitely be booking with Karalyn again!”
“First time using Rover and this family was very accommodating. From their communication and assistance with app questions, the experience was hands down exceptional. We were away for 4 nights and they made us feel like Pickles was safe with our family. Could not recommend them any more.”
“Irem and her husband did a wonderful job in caring for our 3 month old puppy for a few nights. Irem was in constant contact and gave timely updates of our pup’s stay. You can tell she genuinely enjoyed having our puppy at her home and took thoughtful care of him. We will absolutely be using Irem again!”
“Christina and her husband Nick were amazing! She had questions ready prior to the booking to insure the best care for my dog Marley, she sent me constant update and pictures, and made me feel super comfortable. I will definitely be booking with Christina again! Marley loved both of them and I’m sure he looks forward to seeing them again.”
“Kristin was amazing! Not only did she accept my reservation last minute, but she also sent photo updates 2-3 times a day throughout the stay. Her professionalism really exceeded my expectations. If you are looking for a dog sitter in the area, I would highly recommend Kristin!”
“Thank goodness for John. The original dog sitter canceled last minute due to unforseen circumstances, and John was able to take care of our boy without problems. He sent updates and made sure he was happy.”
“Maureen and her family were amazing! Mocha was well taken care of, we got daily updates and pictures, and she was so responsive to anything we'd needed! When I arrived to pick Mocha up, he jumped on me to say hi, and then immediately sprinted to the back of the house (not the front door) cause he'd had such a good time there!”
“Ruby had the time of her life at Brittny's. She was SMILING in photos Brittny sent us. Brittny has a great home with an amazing backyard for the dogs to play in. Her family dog was a great sibling for Ruby. I think Ruby misses Benji! Thank you Brittny and your whole family for taking such good care of our girl. Will definitely board Ruby with you again in the future if possible!”
