“Ryan was overall easy going and a true dog lover from how he interacted with Abu from the very beginning. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing Abu was with great company. From the conversations and picture I know my pup was in great hand, definitely will be contacting ryan for any future assistance with Abu. My pup came back tired from playing outside and full of energy so I know he was in a loving home with great pups too. From the very beginning I knew Ryan was a perfect fit for Abu and his needs.”
“Jenny is awesome! Since this we our (and of course Charlie’s) first experience using Jenny (or Rover.com for that matter) we were so pleased that she sent us updates and photos from his stay. And he came home a happy guy!”
“Lisa is an absolute gem!! I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with her and her family. Lisa asked so many questions to get to know Maddie and ensure she was comfortable. She provided so many pictures and updated me through your the night. I’m so grateful to have found Lisa and will definitely be booking again!”
“We left Keenu with Noria for the whole day. And he loved it. She was very nice and accommodative of my timings (as it was a work day). Her loads of pics and videos about Keenu’s well being were well appreciated throughout the day. We will definitely reach out again to her for our next dog sitting need. Thank you !”
“Bryan and Jacquelyn took great care of our dog Lucy. They gave us daily updates and pictures. Lucy was allowed on their couch and bed and from the pictures felt like she was very comfortable and felt right at home. We would highly recommend commend them and will book them next time a need comes up for us and if they are available.”
“Here is a clear, warm, and sincere review you can post: Tanvi has been absolutely exceptional. She cared for Bobbie as if she were her own dog, and it showed in every detail. Throughout the stay, she kept us fully informed with thoughtful feedback and plenty of photos, which made us feel completely at ease. It’s rare to find someone who combines professionalism with such genuine affection, but Tanvi does exactly that. We always felt Bobbie was in safe, loving hands. Highly recommended.”
“We are so happy we chose Tom to look after Fluffy. He was very professional and kept us posted with pictures. Fluffy is an anxious dog, but Tom made her feel right at home—even letting her sleep on the bed and hang out on the couch. He also let us do a meet-and-greet the day before, which was very helpful. We will definitely be booking with Tom again.”
“Jennifer and her husband Shawn, took care of our Scooby for two nights. That was the first time we left him for our out-of-state vacation. We are so comfortable leaving Scooby. They sent us pictures and videos of him from time to time. At first, we have guilt feeling leaving him, but Jennifer gave us the security that he is taking good care of our dog. I recommended Rover to all my friends with pet-dog. Such a pleasant experience using the service.”
About: Pet Care Experience I am a full time veterinary technician, and have 3 years of experience. Who knows dogs and cats better than someone who works with them? 😊🩷 I provide care for all kinds of cats and dogs, with all kinds of personalities. I understand their needs based on age, health, breed, and personality. Along with the Rover services I provide, I can also offer medical care such as subcutaneous fluids and/or medications at no extra cost. Your pet will have a safe, fun, and stress free experience in a comfortable environment. Since each pet is different, I personalize their care based on their needs, breed, personality, and comfort level. Boarding is my preferred service to offer. Selecting this option is discounted, and my availability is more flexible 🌸🌼 Schedule Since I work full time, my boarding services are perfect for pets who are already used to a working household. This is ideal for pets who are used to using a pee pad or litterbox, however they will still go on walks to get exercise and fresh air! While I am at work, pets will be safely secured in a comfortable and appropriate area of my home, and be well provided for. They will have everything they need including: - Fresh food and water - Medications administered (if applicable) - Walks / Potty breaks / Cleaned litterbox / Fresh pee pads - Playtime and exercise Once I return home, your pet will receive more potty breaks, exercise, enrichment, affection, and any additional care they need. I board 7 days a week with pre-arranged drop off and pick up times. Environment I live in an apartment with two other responsible adults who are respectful of the pets in my care. While they may interact with your pet, their care is my sole responsibility. Your pet will be staying in my clean and secure bedroom with full freedom to roam and run around between my room and another room (provided your pet gets along with my dog) She is a 4 year old Yorkie and is very friendly and playful. Safety My house is equipped with a tall hallway gate and a 24/7 petcam. Your pet's living space will also be clean and free of any harmful objects, food, substances, and other unsafe conditions. During your pet's stay, I tailor their environment to best fit their needs. My room is their room 🩷 Trust I provide full transparency and an open line of communication (while I am at work, responses may be slightly delayed, but I will always get back to you as soon as possible) You will receive regular updates throughout your pet’s stay, including photos and/or videos. If there are any changes in behavior, appetite, or health, you will be notified right away. To ensure the best care for your pet, all pets must be up to date with their rabies vaccine (as required by law) distemper, and bordatella vaccines. They must also be free of fleas, ticks, and contagious diseases The safety and comfort of your pet will always come first. If I believe a situation poses a risk to your pet, another animal, myself, or anyone else, you will be notified to discuss options.
“Pardeep was incredibly responsive to all my questions. Throughout Grady’s stay, I received regular updates with great photos so I always knew how things were going. It was clear he cared for Grady and treated him like his own. I would absolutely recommend Pardeep to anyone looking for an attentive and caring place for their dog.”
“Joanne was great with Bruno. We got plenty of pictures, which made us feel at ease during our trip. We will be booking her again! Smooth meet and greet process as well as drop off/pixkuo.”
About: Fostering through Cold Nose Warm Heart NJ allowed me to fulfill my passion for working with dogs, but unfortunately I am no longer able to keep pets at the house. This has not stopped my love of dogs! I’d like to be a dog walker to have the opportunity to continue to spend time with dogs whenever possible! Fostering has given me experience with all kinds of pups - puppies (8 weeks+), small dogs, big dogs, shy dogs, playful dogs, … I work remotely and have a flex schedule. Able to accommodate different schedules, and willing to work with you based on what is most optimal for you and your pup! I have two dogs of my own (1 and 2) who love playing and would welcome guests. I very much understand the importance of keeping pups on a schedule, so will dutifully follow such plans.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and reliable pet caregiver with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Before fostering cats, I fostered dogs and I even had two “foster fails!” My two sweet pitties stole my heart and became permanent members of my family. Over the years, I’ve fostered numerous cats and kittens, including seniors, shy cats, and young babies. Fostering has taught me that every pet is unique, and I love taking the time to build trust, help them feel safe, and provide care that fits their individual personality and needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion while you’re away, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and patience. I’m also comfortable giving basic medications when needed, but my greatest strength is creating a safe, comfortable environment where pets can relax and be themselves. My professional background has strengthened my patience, reliability, and attention to detail, and I bring those qualities to every visit. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’ll always treat them like they’re part of my own family. You can also count on regular photo and video updates, so you’ll always know your furry baby is happy and well cared for! I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I currently work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m able to provide dependable, attentive care while keeping your pet’s schedule consistent. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to learn their routine, respect their personality, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. Whether in my home or yours, I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, fresh food and water, and lots of love. I also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they know their furry family member is happy and well cared for.
“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.”
“This was our first time booking with Nikki and Ricardo. We were extremely pleased with their services and attention to detail. They are both super caring to all the dogs they care for. They send daily pictures during the stay which gave out daughter piece of mind. We will definitely recommend and use in the future when needed.”
“Stephanie is a wonderful sitter. She is so sweet and caring. She is very accommodating and flexible. She will truly love your pet as her own and make them feel at home! My dog Apollo had a great time with Stephanie, and it’s great to know that my dog was in good hands. I would definitely book Stephanie over and over again!”

“Samantha was so caring and took care of our cat perfectly. She was kind and gentle, and understood Reilly’s personality. She went out of her way to make sure our kitty was eating properly, and gave her treats to keep her happy! Thanks Samantha! We will definitely book again.”
“Kaylyn was wonderful! Super communicative, always on time, and took such great care of Micho while I was away. She spent time playing with him and made sure he had everything he needed. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Jessica took wonderful care of our cat while we were away. She was reliable, consistent and very caring - sending us updates and photos that gave us real peace of mind. Our cat got used to her quickly and seemed very happy and settled. We are grateful for her care and highly recommend.”
“Chloe took extremely good care of my kitties while my husband and I were away for 2 weeks! I get sad to leave them but Chloe made sure to update me every day and captured great photos and videos of them so I knew they were doing good! Thank you, Chloe!!”
“Mariia was wonderful! So kind and our cat adored her! She was very communicative and kept us very updated on our cat as we were away. We will definitely book her again!”
“So fortunate to have connected with Brian. He was great with our dog and bonded quickly with him. Brian was responsive and communicated clearly. He asked great questions during the meet and greet. Throughout his care of our dog, he provided detailed updates, photos and pictures. We will absolutely be using him in the future.”
“Marc did a great job caring for our two cats. He stopped by daily while we were away and was reliable and helpful. He went above and beyond to spend time with them and clean up after them and got along very well with the cats. Definitely would recommend Marc’s services to a friend and would not hesitate to have him cat sit for us again.”
“This was the first time we used Jennifer’s pet sitter’s services. She took notes of all our 5 kitties’ personalities, needs and feeding preferences. Followed every instruction to the letter and went far and beyond her duties by bringing inside Amazon deliveries that arrived while we weren’t home. She sent us a full report plus pictures of our furry babies after every visit was completed. We’ll be reaching out to Jennifer next time we need pet sitter services knowing our kitties will be in good, caring hands in our absence.”
“Noelle was AMAZING. Communication was excellent, her knowledge of cats is great. She looked after my 2 cats for a week. One had some medical needs and she handled them like a pro. In her photos, I could see the cats were snuggling her and happy. What more could a cat mom ask for??”
“Alicia watched our cat Honey while we were away for a week long trip. She dropped in each day, served Honey wet food, freshened up her litter, and played with her. She also kept the space clean around the litter box, which we appreciated. Alicia is very responsive and friendly, and she sent pictures of Honey every day. Honey seemed to be very comfortable around her and really enjoyed having Alicia’s company while we were away. Thank you again, Alicia!”
About: I have 3 cats of my own and have a special knack with cats. I understand their personalities and have worked well with friendly kitties, scared kitties, even feral cats in my career. I can medicate, cut nails, etc.
“Thank you again Roshni ! I said it before and I’ll say it again . You’re the best substitute mama we could have ever wished for to care for our furry babies when we’re away. Garfie, being the big baby and the needy one loves to be spoiled with all that petting and playing time! Enjoyed all the pictures and detailed reports.”
“I was very hesitant to use rover for the first time but Michael was very kind and answered all of my questions. He really took the time to learn about my pups and make sure they were happy while I was away. They warmed up to him quickly and let out their crazy side. I felt like we were in constant contact so I knew my dogs were being well taken care of which really took a weight off my shoulders. He even went above and beyond by sweeping up the dog hair which with a Great Pyrenees at home really builds up fast. I am so happy with how everything went and will definitely be using Michael again in the future. It was truly a great experience and I can’t thank Michael enough he really did and amazing job!!!”
About: I’ve had pets all my life and love taking care of them. I have worked at an animal hospital as a vet tech for several summers in between college terms. Am able to give meds (pills, liquids, shots) to cats and dogs. Able to take care of senior animals and accommodate their needs. I am a masters student at Northeastern University with one class a day and a pretty open schedule to take care of pets. I have a cat of my own and will need to take care of her each day. I will care for your pets like they are my own, follow all instructions, and be respectful of your home. I have been trusted to watch the pets of friends and family for years and love making new pet friends.
About: I have a passion for working with dogs and helping them and their humans have the best possible relationship. Regardless of your pup’s age, personality, medical (or other) needs, I’m happy to step up and be a positive part of their day. I’m lucky enough to have a very open schedule during the summer, especially during the day. That means I’m super flexible and willing to work with whatever your scheduling needs are! The love and compassion that you have for your pup is being passed into good hands. Your pup will thank you for entrusting them to my care!
About: I love animals so much I wanted to become a vet when I was a child. I instead chose to work with humans and equally love my career as a teacher. I am off all summer, so I am looking to not only earn a little extra money, but also keep your furbaby company while you are away. I am currently 7 months pregnant, so we are being strict on size and age of who we will sit. We limit the size we watch to 25 pounds and we won't watch any new clients younger than 5. Zach (my husband) and I have 3 of our own small dogs and boarding with us would be a great option! We have a fenced in yard and even a lure course to keep your baby entertained in the backyard. Our home has a doggy door, so they have full range of outside when they need to do their business, making potty training even easier! I am cat and dog CPR/first aid certified through American Red Cross. I am currently working part-time teaching summer school and coaching the summer robotics team. My husband works full time from home, so your pup will get a lot of attention. We have a fenced in yard to keep your fur baby safe during their stay. This also allows plenty of exercise. We have 3 of our own small pups, one who loves playing and running around, one who loves sleeping, and one who loves fetch to keep yours company, no matter their personality.

“Josephine’s first stay with Pardeep was seamless. Pardeep was very accommodating with my schedule and provided a safe, calm, enjoyable day for Jo. He kept me up to date on her as the day went on and that is always reassuring. His dogs were friendly and respectful which I greatly appreciate due to Josephine being a senior. I would gladly recommend him and will seek his care for Josephine again soon.”
About: I have had dogs in my life since I was a young child and have worked training puppies, poodle mixes, for the last two and a half years. I have had experience with oral medication and brushing poodle hair. I love taking dogs for walks and playing in the backyard. On hot days there is a doggy splash pad available for those who like water play as well as frozen pumpkin treats. I currently work mostly from home and will only be out for a few hours a couple of days so there will be plenty of time for walks and games. What better way to end the day than to relax on the couch! I have one goldendoodle to keep your fur baby company and though he is big, he is super gentle with the little dogs. I have a 4.5 foot tall chain link fence around our back yard. I have crates with dog beds for over night and during the day your dog will have access to our living spaces. Since I'm home most of the time, dogs can be outside/inside according to their preference. Please inform me of any quirks or dietary needs your dog may have. To protect your dog from overheating or hypothermia, walks will be limited when it's over 85°F or below 30°F.
“Kumud and her family were wonderful. She was very attentive and very thorough making sure our pup Theo was properly taken care of. Kumud has a fun and caring family that make it a very fun environment for all types of dogs. Will definitely be back for more doggy day care!”

I like to stay home on weekends with my senior dog Sapphire. Shes a rescue and very calm (she doesn’t bark) and absolutely loves other dogs! We love to take walks and play on the patio outside. I am pretty much free from Wednesday evenings-Saturday nights! Although I live in an apartment, I keep my living room and general space wide and accessible which is easier and less stressful for the dogs. I have a back patio we can play on (not black so the heat won’t hurt their paws), and have a park and yard across the street! I will give your pup lots of love and cuddles and they will definitely be a little spoiled! I also will feed them in a separate area from my dog but bring them back together to play :)
“Noria took the time to meet up with me the day prior to make sure my dog could meet her. She took great care of her, sent me pictures throughout the day, it was easy to tell my dog didn’t want to leave upon being picked up! Highly recommend her and would gladly book again.”
“Wonderful experience. He is super attentive and really wants to know your pet's needs. His place is beautiful and with so much space any pet would be happy and comfortable. Would def recommend.”

“Asia and John are absolutely wonderful. My baby Kai is a high energy dog who needs lots of exercise and love. I had a tough experience at my previous day care as they did not properly meet his needs. Asia and John on the other hand take such great care and consideration for every dog they take care of. They know what comes with dog sitting and how to properly socialize and puppy proof their house. Asia, being a vet tech, is very knowledge about dog behavior. 100% would recommend! You won’t find sitters as good as Asia and John. ☺️”
“Debbie and ray were awesome with taking care of zeus for the day! I had never left my dog with anyone before and Debbie sent the perfect amount of update pictures and videos to make me feel at ease. They have the perfect backyard for the dogs to play and the neighborhood is perfect for walks. Zeus could not have been in better hands!!”
About: I have lots of experience with dogs and absolutely love spending time with them — playing, teaching tricks, and taking them on walks. I grew up around dogs and have a real passion for it! I only take one dog at a time, so your pup gets my full attention and focus throughout the stay. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can walk your dog in the early morning, during lunch, and in the late afternoon/evening — basically as needed throughout the day. I live in a house with my sweet two-year-old daughter, who is gentle and great with animals (no grabbing or rough play!). Because of this, I’m looking to care for friendly, calm dogs who are comfortable around kids. If your pup fits that description, I’d love to give them a fun, attentive stay full of walks, play, and maybe even a new trick or two!

About: As a lifelong animal lover and proud German Shepherd mom, I bring hands-on experience with pets of all kinds, from puppies and seniors to anxious, reactive, and differently-abled dogs. I’ve also cared for cats, birds, bunnies, fish, and geckos, so no pet is too unique! My approach is warm and nurturing by nature, but I adapt to whatever your pet needs. Structured and calm for reactive dogs, playful and patient for puppies, and gentle and attentive for seniors. Every animal deserves to feel safe and loved, and that’s exactly what I deliver. I am currently available during day time, and open to taking on clients in the afternoon if available. Can do overnight sittings Sunday- Wed, and can do multiple visits in the day I am available to take care of pets in your home, whether it’s a walk, sitting or play session. Will adjust dependent on the weather and pet needs

“Holly was 100% amazing! She took such wonderful care of Marshall and gave us total peace of mind. She was incredibly attentive and kept checking on him the entire time. I highly recommend Holly to everyone—we will absolutely be booking with her again!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was six years old, and have had the pleasure of taking care of everything from dogs and cats to horses and chickens. I was a member of my counties 4-H for 13 years and competed nationally in events relating to pet care and knowledge. I have also been working on the side for different horse farms since I was 8 years old and have loved every minute of it! Currently I have my own cat and my family has a dog and two other lovely kitties. I’m a vegetarian who loves all animals, no matter what! I take care of every animal I encounter as if they were my own and make sure they know they are loved. On Sundays I spend a few hours volunteering at my local animal shelter as well :) I work a full time corporate office job so any opportunity to get outside is one that I look for. Since my commute from work is only 10 minutes, it makes getting around very easy. I treat my pets like people and always put their needs before my own. I pride myself on organization and cleanliness as well as my ability to retain a lot of detail
About: My journey with animals started over 13 years ago with my family cat, who taught me the importance of subtle body language and the specialized care that any pet requires. This lifelong bond grew into a passion for helping others, leading me to become the go-to sitter for my neighbors' dogs and cats for several years. What sets me apart: • Multi-Species Fluency: I currently look after both a cat and a dog daily. I understand a dual dynamic and know how to balance the high-energy needs of a dog with the boundaries and quiet requirements of a cat. • Reliability & Trust: My neighbors have trusted me with their home keys and their furry family members for years. I pride myself on being punctual, following specific feeding/medication instructions to the letter, and keeping a tidy space. • I know what it’s like to be in your shoes: As a pet owner myself, I also have looked for sitters and know the level of care and attentiveness that I seek for. It’s a classic example of upholding the standards that I want to see myself As a hybrid employee, my schedule is more flexible and can be naturally structured around consistent walking and feeding times. My pet care responsibilities are a priortiy In your home, I prioritize security and maintaining your pet's sense of normalcy. Whether it’s rigorous playtime for dogs or quiet companionship for cats, I provide consistent updates and photos so you can see your pet is happy, safe, and loved. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re my own because I get it. I’ve been in your shoes as someone looking for a sitter
About: Animals have always been at the center of my life. I share my home with four cats (three traveled with me from Ukraine and one rescued from Houston) and a Bernese Mountain Dog who’s training to become a certified therapy dog. I work remotely, so I’m home all day and able to give pets constant attention. Before moving to the U.S., I co-founded an adoption center in Ukraine dedicated to rescuing and rehoming critically ill stray cats. I’ve completed multiple courses in animal behavior and publish freelance articles about the latest research in pet care. My dog has completed four manners courses and holds all his certificates, and I create human-grade treats in a professional dehydrator (and planning to start a business), so my furry guests are welcome to sample them if they have no allergies. We have a spacious home with a fenced yard, two guest rooms to separate our furry guests if needed, and a pool for supervised dog play. I work remotely only a few hours a day, so I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I’m also very physically active, ensuring your furry friend will never be bored. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment and keep routines consistent to reduce stress. In my home or yours, I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, maintain secure doors and gates, and use positive reinforcement for safe play. I keep food, water, and litter areas clean and monitor pets closely during walks or outdoor time.
“Marc was so patient with Cloud! Cloud wanted to protect our house that day, but he eventually decided that Marc was not a threat & allowed him to take him for a walk! The true sign of Cloud trusting Marc was that he did zoomies when they were back from their walk. Thank you, Marc!”
“It was my first time ever hiring a dog walker so I was a little nervous but Michael made me feel 100% comfortable from the initial conversation exchange to the meet and greet. The walk went great; he kept me up-to-date with how and what they did and with pictures which I appreciated. My dog loves him and I’ll definitely use him again!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and reliable pet caregiver with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Before fostering cats, I fostered dogs and I even had two “foster fails!” My two sweet pitties stole my heart and became permanent members of my family. Over the years, I’ve fostered numerous cats and kittens, including seniors, shy cats, and young babies. Fostering has taught me that every pet is unique, and I love taking the time to build trust, help them feel safe, and provide care that fits their individual personality and needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion while you’re away, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and patience. I’m also comfortable giving basic medications when needed, but my greatest strength is creating a safe, comfortable environment where pets can relax and be themselves. My professional background has strengthened my patience, reliability, and attention to detail, and I bring those qualities to every visit. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’ll always treat them like they’re part of my own family. You can also count on regular photo and video updates, so you’ll always know your furry baby is happy and well cared for! I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I currently work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m able to provide dependable, attentive care while keeping your pet’s schedule consistent. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to learn their routine, respect their personality, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. Whether in my home or yours, I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, fresh food and water, and lots of love. I also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they know their furry family member is happy and well cared for.
“Ruby takes such good care of our Golden Retriever puppy. She’s always on time and gives detailed updates about how the walks go. Ruby is kind, easy to communicate with, and we know our pup is in great hands while we’re at work!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for both my own dog and others’ pets. I have a Yorkie-Bichon mix named Frankie, and taking care of her has taught me how important patience, routine, and making sure every pet feels safe and loved. I genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, or simply keeping them company, I enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality. I love dogs, cats (even though I’m allergic! 🥲), rabbits (especially my friend’s whose name is Cosito), and really all animals. You can trust that I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own and make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I recently graduated with my bachelor’s degree and am currently doing more schooling by completing nursing prerequisites. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because it allows me to do something I genuinely love while continuing my education. My classes are Monday through Wednesday in the mornings I finish at 12:15 so I’m available in the afternoons, evenings. AFTER 12:15! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for by sticking to their routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I’ll follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I do understand every pet is different, so I’ll be patient and make sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. I will always send pictures as well!
About: Dogs have been apart of my life since I was 10 years old when we got our little guy Sputnik. After High School, I attended The Morris County School of Technology where I graduated from its Veterinary Medicine course that vastly expanded my knowledge on interpreting dog behavior, action steps in an emergency, and markers for potential medical complications. After that, I worked at two different esteemed dog daycare and boarding facilities for a total of 3 years. During this time I was able to put what I learned into practice with a variety of different situations and a variety of different dogs all ranging in size, age, and temperament. This experience not only taught me technical skills, but also the philosophy I now use for pet care. Each dog is unique, and what works for one might not be effective for another. It is with this in mind, that I strive to find the approach that works best for your dog. As a dog owner myself I understand that they are so much more than just pets, they are furry members of our families. This notion is important in conveying the gravity of entrusting the care of your four legged family to another. With all this in mind, I hope you will consider my services so I can get to know both you and your furry friend(s). Currently my schedule is very open, with only a few select dates throughout the summer where I will be unavailable. I am currently enrolled in two summer college courses that will end around mid-August. Both are virtually however, so there is no class meeting so they will impact my ability to pet care very minimally. I am a full-time student, so at the end of August I resume a full-course load at college and my schedule will be restricted; but, I should still be able to accommodate when necessary. My dog is small senior pup(11 years old), so managing his comfort and administration of his medication on time and schedule are the most important aspects of his care at this point in his life. I also live on a dead-end where he is able to roam fairly freely until he is tired. While this is what works for my dog, it might not be what works for yours. Through talking with you and getting to know your dog, we will be able to come up with a plan/schedule that works best for them!

I have a dog and 3 cats of my own and would love the opportunity to care for your pets as if they were my own! I can care for all sizes of dogs, cats, and other pets. I'm able to medicate, administer insulin or other injections, or anything medical. I'm very good with scared or unsure pets and have a knack for helping them feel more comfortable. I'm happy to spend time with the pets, walking them, playing with them, or just spending time petting them. I have loved and cared for animals since I was young and am hoping to have the opportunity to care for yours as well! I work from home and can be flexible with drops in and walks. I am also free all weekend! I can do drops ins, walks, overnights or medication administration.

“She was great with Scott! He was hesitant to walk with her and barked, but she understood he was nervous and was patient with him She also communicates everything and took a lot of pictures! Will be definitely scheduling walks if her again”
About: I have taken care of dogs and other pets for the past 10 years. This includes my own pets as well are others, such as neighbors, family, and friend’s pets. I have a full time job as a 4th grade teacher during the weekdays. I am available after 4:00 most days and I am available all day on the weekends.

About: I love animals so much I wanted to become a vet when I was a child. I instead chose to work with humans and equally love my career as a teacher. I am off all summer, so I am looking to not only earn a little extra money, but also keep your furbaby company while you are away. I am currently 7 months pregnant, so we are being strict on size and age of who we will sit. We limit the size we watch to 25 pounds and we won't watch any new clients younger than 5. Zach (my husband) and I have 3 of our own small dogs and boarding with us would be a great option! We have a fenced in yard and even a lure course to keep your baby entertained in the backyard. Our home has a doggy door, so they have full range of outside when they need to do their business, making potty training even easier! I am cat and dog CPR/first aid certified through American Red Cross. I am currently working part-time teaching summer school and coaching the summer robotics team. My husband works full time from home, so your pup will get a lot of attention. We have a fenced in yard to keep your fur baby safe during their stay. This also allows plenty of exercise. We have 3 of our own small pups, one who loves playing and running around, one who loves sleeping, and one who loves fetch to keep yours company, no matter their personality.
About: I've always loved animals and used to volunteer at an animal shelter when I was younger. I also got my first dog 10 years ago--she is my best friend and I love her more than anything :) I'm responsible for grooming, feeding, and walking her, plus regular check ups to make sure she's healthy. My favorite thing to do though is playing with her and cuddling! In regard to my schedule, I am currently working full time from 9-5pm, Monday through Friday. Any other times outside of that window I am available! I am also going on vacation from August 8 to August 15. Since I am a pet owner myself, I am able to take care of your pet(s) in any way needed. I am able to understand different personalities and needs among various animals and adjust accordingly!

“Ryan was overall easy going and a true dog lover from how he interacted with Abu from the very beginning. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing Abu was with great company. From the conversations and picture I know my pup was in great hand, definitely will be contacting ryan for any future assistance with Abu. My pup came back tired from playing outside and full of energy so I know he was in a loving home with great pups too. From the very beginning I knew Ryan was a perfect fit for Abu and his needs.”
“Lisa is an absolute gem!! I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with her and her family. Lisa asked so many questions to get to know Maddie and ensure she was comfortable. She provided so many pictures and updated me through your the night. I’m so grateful to have found Lisa and will definitely be booking again!”
“Bryan and Jacquelyn took great care of our dog Lucy. They gave us daily updates and pictures. Lucy was allowed on their couch and bed and from the pictures felt like she was very comfortable and felt right at home. We would highly recommend commend them and will book them next time a need comes up for us and if they are available.”
“Here is a clear, warm, and sincere review you can post: Tanvi has been absolutely exceptional. She cared for Bobbie as if she were her own dog, and it showed in every detail. Throughout the stay, she kept us fully informed with thoughtful feedback and plenty of photos, which made us feel completely at ease. It’s rare to find someone who combines professionalism with such genuine affection, but Tanvi does exactly that. We always felt Bobbie was in safe, loving hands. Highly recommended.”
“Pardeep was incredibly responsive to all my questions. Throughout Grady’s stay, I received regular updates with great photos so I always knew how things were going. It was clear he cared for Grady and treated him like his own. I would absolutely recommend Pardeep to anyone looking for an attentive and caring place for their dog.”
About: Fostering through Cold Nose Warm Heart NJ allowed me to fulfill my passion for working with dogs, but unfortunately I am no longer able to keep pets at the house.

“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.”
“This was our first time booking with Nikki and Ricardo. We were extremely pleased with their services and attention to detail. They are both super caring to all the dogs they care for. They send daily pictures during the stay which gave out daughter piece of mind. We will definitely recommend and use in the future when needed.”
“Sayak is so wonderful. Sam was happy while away from home her first time. Pictures every day. She seems to have learned some manners while she was away. Will definitely be using Sayak again. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my baby girl.”
“James is a dog whisperer. He bonded with my dog -Parker- so quickly for three weeks stay. This was her first boarding experience with a complete stranger. Updates and pictures came regularly during the stay to give us peace of mind that Parker was in good hand. I would definitely hire James again in the futures. Highly recommend James to take care of your pets during your vacation.”
“My wife and I so greatly appreciate Lupe's exceptional care of my 2 year old dog, Roopert (Roo) during my first Rover experience, which was an entire week! We are accustomed to leaving Roo with close family or friends, so I was initially apprehensive about Rover. However, Lupe's outstanding communication and daily updates, including plenty of photos and videos eased our worries. With Roopert weighing almost 70 lbs and bursting with energy, I truly appreciated Lupe's dedication to spending quality time playing with him, including fetch in his spacious, fully fenced yard, and just his overall competence as it pertained to dog behavior, and the needs associated. When I picked up Roopert this morning, he looked fantastic – clean, content, and absolutely joyful. Lupe's top-notch service and genuine care for our boy are so greatly appreciated. I wholeheartedly recommend Lupe to anyone seeking trustworthy and loving care for their furry friend. Thanks, Lupe!”
“Isabella, a was very attentive to Koa! He does not get along with people but he was cared for and pampered enough that he came out of his shell. Kept us updated throughout and sent us loads of photos. Can’t thank her enough for the amazing hospitality!”
“Fantastic Dog Sitting Experience! I couldn't have asked for a better experience with Ahmad! Ahmad was incredibly responsive, keeping me updated throughout my dog Leo's week-long stay. I truly appreciated the regular pictures and updates, which gave me peace of mind knowing Leo was happy and well cared for. It was clear that Leo was in great hands, and I’m so grateful for the love and attention they provided. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter! 🐶✨ Thank you, Ahmad!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I cannot say enough wonderful things about Thana and Subangi. They stepped in during a true emergency involving my elderly mother, and their kindness and flexibility meant more to me than I can express. They picked up Gigi right away and kept her for as long as we needed, completely removing one major worry from an already stressful situation. From the very beginning, they were in constant contact — sending thoughtful updates, pictures, and videos that reassured me Gigi was safe, comfortable, and happy. What stood out most was how genuinely they welcomed her into their home as if she were their own dog. You could see in every photo how relaxed and loved she felt. That level of warmth and care is rare. If you are looking for responsible, compassionate, and communicative dog sitters, Thana and Subangi are truly exceptional. I would trust them again in a heartbeat. 💛🐾”
“Lineth did an amazing job taking care of our cat! She kept us updated with plenty of pictures, and it was clear our cat felt so comfortable and happy with her. Lineth was so thoughtful and attentive that we never had to worry while we were away. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
