“Steven is a great dog-sitter! He is very communicative and sends lots of pictures to keep me posted on how Dusty is doing throughout the day. Dusty comes home happy and tired from playing with Steven's dogs. We are grateful to have found him!”


“I am so grateful to have found Samantha! My recently adopted dog, Brownie, has some anxiety around new people and in new places. Samantha went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable during his stay. Her apartment is so clean and cozy and truly a dog's paradise. Her dog, Cocoa, was so friendly and welcoming to Brownie. We got frequent updates during his stay and Samantha is super quick to respond. She is also very flexible around pick up and drop off. I truly cannot thank her enough for watching our sweet boy and making not only him but also our whole family feel comfortable while we are away by knowing that he is safe and happy!! Brownie didn't want to come home with me when I went to pick up because he was too busy playing with all the fun toys! He will be back soon! Thank you again, Samantha.”

“Jolanta and her family are the best! Our pup Lulu felt very comfortable right away and she was in good spirits when we picked her up after ten days away. We could tell she got a lot of love and attention. Jolanta’s very friendly and great with providing photo and video updates. Also very safety minded. Would highly recommend!!”

“Jessica is pure and simple a great person. She cares for people and animals equally. I plan to use Jessica every time we need a sitter for our pet. Thank you for being so nice.”


“Chandar was absolutely fantastic. This was our first experience leaving our dog, and Chandar did everything we asked plus more. He gave us updates twice a day and photos of our dog throughout the day. From the photos and the feedback from Chandar, you know that your dog feels at home, calm and cared for. Our dog ate, slept well and got walked twice a day. Chandar went above and beyond in every element possible. Thanks Chandar we look forward to traveling again in the future with a stay again with you.”

“Davina and her family were so good to Arnie I was afraid he may not come home! Very proactive and responsive communication and pictures so you know your fur baby is happy! She even made homemade doggy treats and personalized each dog’s initial! Beyond exemplary!”

“Our Layla loves being taken care of by Kerri and Harry! They treat Layla like one of their own and follow all of our care instructions. It is always evident that Layla had a good time when we pick her up. We can not recommend Kerri and Harry enough!”

“Micheal is a great sitter. Before the first time boarding, he did a thorough walk through with me on my usual routine with my pet and my expectations, and he also provided the detailed information on the environment he provides for the boarding. His schedule is really flexible, is easy to reach and quick to respond. He took great care of my dog and my dog was really happy and relaxed while boarding. He updated me everyday on the status of the dog and also send great pictures. Thanks Micheal for providing a comfortable environment for my dog.”

“Once again, we could not be happier with our boarding experience with Mr. Tao. Being away on vacation, it is such a relief to get regular updates on our dogs along with pictures of them having a great time. Mr. Tao and his family take excellent care of our dogs and are excellent at communicating regularly. The dogs seemed so relaxed when we picked them up which tells us that they had a vacation of their own and were very well take care of. Thank you Mr. Tao!!”

“Craig took exceptional care of our dog for an overnight stay. He was incredibly communicative and flexible, and instilled confidence that he was on top of everything and our pup was in good hands. There were also plenty of walks and playtime to keep him busy. Highly recommend using Craig if you’re down the shore.”

“Thank you Kathleen for taking such great care of Eddie! I know the booking was last minute and I appreciate your flexibility. I look forward to having you care for him again in the future.”

“Melissa and Dan are the best. They’ve watched both of our dogs on several occasions and are always amazing with them. They are our “go-to” sitters. Highly recommend.”

“Her space is incredible, plenty of room for our dog to run around. Initially our dog Coco was a little nervous (she's a velcro dog at home), but Tanvi checked in with us each day and worked to help Coco come out of her shell. After a couple days she did and had an absolute blast. We will definitely be working with Tanvi again, assuming she is available!”

“Ryan did a great job with Spenser. Daily outings, regular updates, and plenty of photos, we always knew our dog was in good hands. When our trip ran four days longer than planned, Ryan didn't skip a beat. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog. Would recommend him to any dog owner without hesitation.”

“Elliot had a wonderful stay with Thana and Subangi who were very good hosts. We really appreciated the frequent photos being sent and it is clear that they are very much dog lovers. Would definitely recommend them.”

“Anish was absolutely amazing with our dog Max. Having being a long term dog owner, he knew all about how to handle our dog Max . I felt at ease from the time Max was dropped off till the time we picked Max up. Anish took the extra effort to make sure Max was taken for walks even in the pouring rain, and give him plenty of exercise and company. Max returned home happy, rested & well exercised. I highly recommend Anish to take care of your pet, its their home away from home.”

“We will definitely be using Robert again. He spoiled Banjo and sent us daily updates to allow us to focus on our vacation. It's wonderful to have a dependable place for our boy when we came take him.”

“Joanne was fantastic and made me feel she would protect (and spoil) my two high-energy dogs. Joanne was very responsive and kept us updated frequently. I would 100% recommend. Thank you, Joanne!”

“Kristen was terrific! We booked at the last minute and were coming from out of town for an event. She kept us updated and treated Kodi like one of her own.

About: I can take on the most hyper of dogs (I have one myself). I understand the high demand of a hyper dog and am ready to walk and play with your furry friend! I can also care for small critters! I work 2p-10p full time as a behavior specialist with individuals with autism. I am available most mornings and am available for overnights after 10pm! I always ensure that my pets have everything they need: lots of love, an extra long walk on sunny days, toys to play with, and food that meets their diets needs.

“Abigail was absolutely wonderful! She arrived exactly as discussed and immediately gave us peace of mind knowing our little guy was in great hands. I especially appreciated that she has experience with Chihuahuas and understands their little quirks and specific needs. She knew that Chihuahuas typically aren’t fans of the rain, so she actually planned ahead and made sure to come before the rain started so he could get his walk in comfortably. That level of thoughtfulness really stood out to us! She even went above and beyond by bringing in our Amazon packages that were delivered while we were away. It’s those little extra touches that make such a difference. Abigail is reliable, attentive, thoughtful, and clearly genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. We would absolutely recommend her and will happily use her again! 🐾❤️”

“Josh has been taking great care of our puppy the past few weeks! We asked Josh to take our 8 month old puppy for a mid-day walk and play break while my wife and I are at work twice a week. He's extremely responsive, flexible with our requests, and our puppy loves him. We look forward to continuing to work with Josh!”

About: I’ve been around dogs since I can remember. Friends and family always come to me to watch their dogs when they need it! I am very trustworthy when coming to pet sitting. I do weekends (Friday-Sunday) but I can occasionally do weekdays. Depending on my school schedule I can accommodate to your needs for pet care (Monday and Tuesday if needed). I am willing to sleepover at the owners house, I will feed, walk, and care for the dogs thoroughly. If not sleeping over I will be there routinely for the dogs.

“Lisa has been walking my dog for nearly a year and I can't recommend her highly enough. My schedule can change at the last minute and she always works with me. She always updates me on how their walk goes and let's me know if something seems off. She treats him like we do - as a member of our family. It would be difficult to trust him with someone else after finding Lisa!”

“Joanna was great getting to know Sandy and was very caring towards her. She asked questions, shared concerns and we shared ways to make her stay more comfortable. We can’t wait to work with Joanna again!”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. Summer took amazing care of our three dogs while we were away for Christmas. Communication was excellent the entire time, and it was clear how much our dogs loved and trusted her. Summer is friendly, reliable, and truly great with pets. While we were away we had total peace of mind. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi my name is Anthony 19yrs old I am from Florida and just moved to NJ to go to college as a student athlete for soccer. Back home I have 2 adorable dogs my Pomeranian Gidget and my Yochon Duke who are both named after the movie the secret life of pets. I love taking them on walks especially during sunset and occasionally bring them in the car to get pupcups. I decided to become a walker on rover so I can continue to do this and make more doggy and cat friends. I’m really excited to work and meet your pet! I currently go to college and have class at 9:30am everyday and get done around 12 then have soccer practice 3 to 4:30pm. This allows me to fit in some walks before class, before practice and after practice! I will make sure to keep the house nice and tidy leaving it cleaner than I found it. If you have a backyard or pool I can play with the dogs out there. If they are allowed treats or pup cups I will bring some when I come.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my whole life. I have experience with all kinds of dogs. I’m comfortable with all just let me know all their quirks :) I love getting to know new animals! I have experience giving medication as well with dogs. I’m willing to help with training puppies as well. I’m currently working hybrid and am attending school online. My schedule does vary a little depending on work but I’ll update when I know it. Willing to work with you to care for your pets :) I will in an apartment but love to take my dog for walks and to the park. Let me know whatever you are comfortable with.
About: There is nothing I love more than dogs, except maybe cats. I have always been passionate about taking care of my animals and have always been relied on by family and friends for the same in both official and unofficial capacities. I can’t wait to become best friends with your pets! I am currently home full time and would have ample time to engage with your pets, walk them, and play with them. This can occur in your home or mine. My home has plenty of space to run around. I live in a beautifully grassy complex with a fenced dog yard 50 feet from my front door. I have a very friendly dog who also doesn’t mind being in the bedroom if your dog needs space. I’m also happy to ask all the questions I need to make sure your pets are very happy and satisfied in your own home if that’s where care takes place.
“Sade is EVERYTHING!!! I have a very energetic big puppy who is still learning not to jump on people AND walking on a leash. She has been such an important piece in consistency when it comes to training, I've seen the difference in Nakia's behavior in those areas.”

“Honor is great. She plays with our dog while I am away and my wife is at work, walks him all over town and is very communicative every single day. I would highly recommend her.”

We were away for three days and 2 nights, and Kimberly sent us regular updates and great photos of our pup.

Highly recommend Cathleen and we will be sending our dog back to her when we go away on our next hockey trip!”

“We knew from the moment Maggie stepped foot inside Meghan’s home that she felt safe and loved. I was amazed at the number of photos and updates that greeted me everyday.
