“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!!!”
“Carolina will be the only sitter for my dog from now on. She and her family truly cared for my dog during my family's vacation and i can't thank her enough! They are true dog lover! Thank you, Carolina for your care and service for my dog!!!”
“We had a really great experience with Irem! They were super easy to communicate with and took great care of my dog. I loved getting updates and photos—it made me feel so much more relaxed while I was away. My dog came back happy and well cared for. Would definitely book again!”
“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.”
“Lynn and Marty were wonderful with our Luna!! Luna is a nervous dog and they did a beautiful job keeping her happy and comfortable. We received photos and communications daily which gave us peace of mind. Lynn and Marty are 2 caring dog lovers. We would highly recommend Lynn and Marty!”
“I couldn't have asked for a better experience with the dog sitters who took care of my two furry companions. Their daily picture updates were a delightful touch that kept me reassured and connected throughout my time away. It was evident that they genuinely cared for my dogs' well-being, as each snapshot captured their happiness and comfort!”
“Jillian and her family are wonderful! Clearly very caring and capable. They provided lots of attention and activities and I honestly think our dog had fun staying with them. Great communication! Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
“It was great to work with Bayan!! She goes above and beyond! If you're able to book her I highly recommend her. She sent me pictures and videos of all the time about my dog! . Bayan thank you again Maddox was so happy with you!”
“I wish I could give an extra star to show how wonderful my experience with Marisol and John was. It’s always scary leaving your beloved pet with someone you don’t know, but they did everything possible to make sure I felt comfortable with Rudy in their care. Communication was great, fast responses to anything I sent, and lots of updates with pictures. They very clearly treated him like he is part of their family, and it’s obvious that this isn’t just a job, that they truly care about your babies. Rudy loses weight very easily, and his feeding schedule is a bit complicated to prevent that. They did an amazing job with it though, and he came home with no weight loss and cleaner than he was when he left my house. They even gave me a little framed picture from his time with them. Rudy was very sad to leave all of his new friends behind, but he will be seeing them again for sure. I cannot recommend Marisol and John enough. Your baby will be safe and happy with them.”
“Tricia was an amazing sitter for our pup, Milly. She incorporated water play, activity, and snuggles for our baby. We know she had an awesome time. Tricia was very communicative and detailed in her care. We received so many pictures of Milly during her stay. Peace of mind! Thank you Tricia for being so loving to our Milly.”
About: I truly treat every dog like they’re my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pup with someone else, and I don’t take that lightly. Your dog won’t just be watched, they’ll be loved, included, and cared for in a calm, structured home environment. I have a sweet 2 year old Cavapoo who is extremely friendly and loves having company. She’s gentle, playful, and great at helping other dogs feel comfortable and welcome. If your pup enjoys socializing, they’ll have a built in bestie. If they prefer their space, I’m very attentive to personalities and make sure every dog feels safe and respected. I’m big on communication, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and reassurance while you’re away. I stick to your dog’s routine as closely as possible- feeding schedules, walks, crate time, and playtime. Above all, I provide a loving, dependable, and peaceful environment where your dog can relax and feel at home ! :) Pet care is already a huge part of my daily routine. I have a 2 year old Cavapoo, so my day naturally revolves around walks, playtime, and structured care. I take my dog on multiple walks throughout the day, so any pup staying with me will be included in regular exercise and outdoor time. I work my schedule around the dogs in my care to make sure they’re never left alone for long periods. I’m very consistent with feeding times, potty breaks, and activity, and I genuinely enjoy building my day around their needs. Because this is something I already prioritize every single day, adding another dog into our routine feels seamless, and they will become part of our little pack and get plenty of attention, movement, and love. I provide a calm, structured, and loving environment whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours. I follow your dog’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, and instructions, and I take multiple walks a day so your pup will get plenty of exercise and outdoor time. Safety is my top priority, and I carefully monitor interactions at all times. If needed, I can crate my dog or your dog to give them space, maintain routine, or ensure everyone feels comfortable and secure.

“Highly recommend Teresa. She took amazing care of Coco providing regular updates, photos, and plenty of love. Coco came home happy and well cared for. I’ll definitely book with them again!”
“Amanda was great with my dog and provided a wonderful home away from home for my dog. I already booked a longer stay for an upcoming trip and feel comfortable knowing that my dog will have kind people to watch her and nice dogs to hang out with throughout her stay. Amanda sent updates and photos which was appreciated!”
“Elizabeth has taken great care of Goofy while we were away for 10 days. She gave us daily updates and Goofy has come back very happy. She has a great set up with a lovely house that is dog friendly.”

“Sarah did a great job looking after my two cats. She came when she said she would and gave excellent reports. I was reassured that my boys were doing great while we were away. I would recommend Sarah to anyone who has a pet and wants peace of mind about their furry family members while they're out of town.”
“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.”
“Sarah did a stellar job taking care of our elder kitty while we were away for a family emergency. Provided our fur child with tons of love and attention in our stead. Always a pleasure working with her.”
“Joseph was absolutely fantastic with my cats! He even got an extremely shy cat who never comes out for anyone to approach him within the first few days - she's never warmed to anyone that fast before. He was always friendly and punctual, with lots of photos to show for it. The cats are really happy and so am I!”
“Arabella took great care of my two cats while I was away for the long weekend! She followed all instructions and stayed a bit longer to clean up after them. She was very easy to correspond with and she sent photo updates. I would ask Arabella to watch my cats again!”
About: A dedicated cat lover at heart, happiest when surrounded by purrs and paws. From mastering the perfect head scratch to ensuring every meal is top-tier, I’m fully committed to giving my feline friends the absolute best care, comfort, and love they deserve.
“We had a great experience with Allie! She took such good care of our cat and kept everything so easy and stress-free. Communication was smooth, and she was always easy to reach. We’re very happy with her service and would definitely recommend her!”
“I cannot express enough how amazing Irem and her husband were in taking care of my cat while I was away. Initially, my cat was very defensive, but they managed to make her feel safe and cared for. They handled numerous tasks, including administering her medicine, with perfect attention to detail. I received countless photos and videos from them, which reassured me that she was in the best hands. Their dedication and compassion were truly wonderful, and I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you again so much for the gift. Mamajay loves it!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Chelsea took great care of our pet while we were away on vacation. She was communicative the entire time and transparent about everything. She provided photos of our pet with each visit. Chelsea was punctual on all her visits with our pet and never late. I would recommend her services to anyone in need of a dog walker.”
About: I have had a pet by my side since the day I was born. Pets are family and they deserve to be treated as such. Specifically, I have cared for other pets the last 7 years; feeding and cleaning fish tanks, overnight stays combined with daily dog walks and changing cat litter and cleaning their coats. To care for other's pets is a privilege that I do not take lightly, there is trust and commitment needed. I want to allow individuals to feel comfortable that their pet is cared for in times when they are unable to do so themselves. Above all else if a pet needs care, I want to provide them with a friendly face, playful affect and calm presence to ensure successful care treatment. I am currently working a full-time job that requires me to work 8:30am-4:30pm Monday-Friday. I occasionally work 1 day of the weekend and will provide full schedule is a service is requested. I will provide open and honest communication with client and maintain a flexible schedule outside of work hours. Currently I am unable to board pets in my home. It is something I hope can happen later in life at a different residence. In the client's home, I will care for their pet as they would like me to, ultimately wanting the pet to maintain their normal schedule as best as possible.
“Hansa will make a wonderful addition to my fur baby care team!! She ia a thoughtful and caring person and i’m lucky to have found someone so competent and enthusiastic. Hansa is willing to accommodate our schedules as best as she can, and i really appreciate that so much!”
“Kristen did an excellent job watching Moose and Bear! They were very well taken care of and super happy once we returned home. Kristen was very prompt about showing up on time every day which we really appreciated. Her initial meet and greet visit was super smooth and efficient. We will absolutely use Kristen again to watch our cats the next time we're away.”
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: I’ve always had a strong love for animals and experience caring for many different pets, including cats, rabbits, birds, and dogs. With my previous vet tech experience, I understand how important patience, gentle handling, and attention to detail are when caring for animals. I’m comfortable with feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, administering basic medications if needed, and making sure cats feel safe and comfortable in their home environment. I understand that every cat has a different personality, and I always take the time to build trust and provide calm, attentive care.

“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!”

“Milo was well cared for and loved with Christine. She sent pics and videos. We were also running late and she has no problem with it. Fantastic sitter we would definitely use again.”
“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!”
“Sriram & Rekha S. was super sweet and attentive to Ace. He communicated with me during the whole day. And contacted me as well once my sister picked up Ace. Will be booking with him again!”
“Great job. Attentive, friendly and flexible and kept us updated throughout with pics for a stress free morning and afternoon. Looks like the dogs also really enjoyed the outing. Highly recommended.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and caring for them has always been second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve also dog‑sat for friends and family giving me experience with different breeds, personalities and routines. Whether your pup loves long walks, belly rubs or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy and loved while you’re away. Because I work from home, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day, which means plenty of time for walks, play breaks, feeding and keeping an eye on your pet’s comfort. I build my work schedule around their needs so they get consistent attention and companionship instead of long stretches alone. 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. I have a quiet, calm and pet‑friendly home that’s perfect for animals who enjoy a peaceful environment. 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. I keep my home clean, safe and comfortable and I have a deck where pets can relax outside, enjoy some fresh air and soak up the sun.
About: My 10 year old and I love it when your babies enjoy a swim in the lake in the summer and/or a walk around the lake with us. Rest assured your fur babies will be happy and healthy while you are away. Our standard poodle is my daughter’s best girl. We go for walks at least once per day around the lake (1.6 miles around). Sometimes we even go more than once and we all get a good workout in! We usually care for dogs here at home, however, I am open to caring for your fur babies at your house, if you prefer! Let me know!

I make sure to monitor my pet to make sure their okay and comfortable and give them so much love! If they love to play I spend alot of time playing with them!
“I had such a good feeling about Desi and Mimi, and I was not disappointed at all! They took amazing care of my little boy and made sure he had the best time playing and socializing with the other pups. They sent me photos while he was there, which made me so happy and gave me so much peace of mind. Their communication was great, and I really appreciated how they listened to all of my concerns. When I picked him up, he actually went back to say goodbye, which was so funny because he has never done that with anyone before! That alone told me he had an amazing time. I’ll definitely be bringing him back, not just when I need a sitter, but just so he can have a fun day. I highly recommend them! Desi and Mimi, thank you so much for treating my pup like your own!”
About: For years, I've been the trusted pick for apartment friends when they travel. Count on me for top-notch pet care, ensuring they get plenty of exercise and tender attention. I have a lot of love to give! I currently start my days at 6AM when I go to the gym and then I do not start work (from home!) until 9AM so I have plenty of time to spare in the morning. While I have a flexible schedule, I also like to follow a strict routine regularly so adjusting to your dogs routine is an easy transition for me. When caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment. I ensure they have ample food, water, playtime, and exercise.

“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. We feel very comfortable with her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive walker.”

“Kacy was a life saver!! One week after I rescued a timid, anxious and fearful Beagle, I broke my wrist. Kacy responded and started immediately. Knowing Luke had issues didn’t bother her in the least. She obviously has a lot of experience with dogs and knew how to handle him. It was rough for her in the beginning but she was very patient and kind and never gave up on him. She was more than a dog walker; she sat in on sessions with a trainer I hired to help Luke. So her walks with him, were more than just walks. They were mini training sessions! And in the one month she was with us, Luke made so much progress all because of Kacy since I wasn’t able to do much. Kacy will treat your dog as her own, she is very responsible, punctual and never missed a walk. I am forever grateful for everything she did and she even went above and beyond cleaning up Luke’s accidents and carrying in packages for me! We will definitely miss her. If you need someone to care for your 4-legged family, she’s definitely the one!”
“Amber has been great with weekly walks for our large but nervous dog. She has been patient and let him warm up at his own pace with lots of feedback as to how he’s doing from day to day. I would highly recommend her for any of your pet care needs.”

“Morgan was great, and was willing to walk our < 3 month old puppy twice a day on VERY short notice. She was extremely nice, professional, and even sent me pictures to let me know how my pup was doing. We will definitely be using Morgan’s services again, and would recommend her to anyone looking for some help with their dog.”

“Carolina will be the only sitter for my dog from now on. She and her family truly cared for my dog during my family's vacation and i can't thank her enough! They are true dog lover! Thank you, Carolina for your care and service for my dog!!!”
“We had a really great experience with Irem! They were super easy to communicate with and took great care of my dog. I loved getting updates and photos—it made me feel so much more relaxed while I was away. My dog came back happy and well cared for. Would definitely book again!”
“Lynn and Marty were wonderful with our Luna!! Luna is a nervous dog and they did a beautiful job keeping her happy and comfortable. We received photos and communications daily which gave us peace of mind. Lynn and Marty are 2 caring dog lovers. We would highly recommend Lynn and Marty!”
“It was great to work with Bayan!! She goes above and beyond! If you're able to book her I highly recommend her. She sent me pictures and videos of all the time about my dog! . Bayan thank you again Maddox was so happy with you!”
“I wish I could give an extra star to show how wonderful my experience with Marisol and John was. It’s always scary leaving your beloved pet with someone you don’t know, but they did everything possible to make sure I felt comfortable with Rudy in their care. Communication was great, fast responses to anything I sent, and lots of updates with pictures. They very clearly treated him like he is part of their family, and it’s obvious that this isn’t just a job, that they truly care about your babies. Rudy loses weight very easily, and his feeding schedule is a bit complicated to prevent that. They did an amazing job with it though, and he came home with no weight loss and cleaner than he was when he left my house. They even gave me a little framed picture from his time with them. Rudy was very sad to leave all of his new friends behind, but he will be seeing them again for sure. I cannot recommend Marisol and John enough. Your baby will be safe and happy with them.”
“Tricia was an amazing sitter for our pup, Milly. She incorporated water play, activity, and snuggles for our baby. We know she had an awesome time. Tricia was very communicative and detailed in her care. We received so many pictures of Milly during her stay. Peace of mind! Thank you Tricia for being so loving to our Milly.”
About: I truly treat every dog like they’re my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pup with someone else, and I don’t take that lightly. Your dog won’t just be watched, they’ll be loved, included, and cared for in a calm, structured home environment. I have a sweet 2 year old Cavapoo who is extremely friendly and loves having company. She’s gentle, playful, and great at helping other dogs feel comfortable and welcome. If your pup enjoys socializing, they’ll have a built in bestie. If they prefer their space, I’m very attentive to personalities and make sure every dog feels safe and respected. I’m big on communication, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and reassurance while you’re away. I stick to your dog’s routine as closely as possible- feeding schedules, walks, crate time, and playtime. Above all, I provide a loving, dependable, and peaceful environment where your dog can relax and feel at home ! :) Pet care is already a huge part of my daily routine. I have a 2 year old Cavapoo, so my day naturally revolves around walks, playtime, and structured care. I take my dog on multiple walks throughout the day, so any pup staying with me will be included in regular exercise and outdoor time. I work my schedule around the dogs in my care to make sure they’re never left alone for long periods. I’m very consistent with feeding times, potty breaks, and activity, and I genuinely enjoy building my day around their needs. Because this is something I already prioritize every single day, adding another dog into our routine feels seamless, and they will become part of our little pack and get plenty of attention, movement, and love. I provide a calm, structured, and loving environment whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours. I follow your dog’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, and instructions, and I take multiple walks a day so your pup will get plenty of exercise and outdoor time. Safety is my top priority, and I carefully monitor interactions at all times. If needed, I can crate my dog or your dog to give them space, maintain routine, or ensure everyone feels comfortable and secure.
“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.”
“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.”
“Elizabeth and Oleg were great! They provided updates of our dog Zion and were flexible when our pickup plans changed due to travel. Would absolutely recommend!”
“I will never bring my dogs anywhere else - “Mr. Jonathan” (as my kids call him), gives me peace of mind that my pups are feeling at home and well taken care of while we are away.”
“Kacy did a wonderful job watching our 2 huskies!! She sent me picture and updates everyday. They went for walks and loved running in her big back yard!! She treated our dogs like her own. Kacy is a phenomenal pet sitter!! We appreciate her love and attention that she gave to our dogs! Will definitely hire her again!!”
“So thankful to have found someone for our Keira. Morgan responded quickly for a short notice weekend trip and was quick to respond to my inquiries while we were gone as to how Keira was doing. We usually use a local kennel but have found that she comes home sad. She needs a lot of human interaction. Without her pack, she gets lonely. She came home much happier this time. Morgan and her family obviously made Keira feel very at home.”
“Again we are grateful for Desi & Marilyn! This time our girl Lucy stayed for a whole week!!!!! We were able to go on vacation and know our girl was in good hands! Don’t hesitate to book them! We loved getting all the pictures and updates of her stay!”
“We travel frequently for long trips and our usual sitter was not available this time and so we chose to use Rover and found Ankita and her beautiful family . From the time of meet and Greet I knew that I couldn’t have found a better dog loving home for my coco . The love care and affection they showered on coco was evident from the multiple daily updates we received in form of videos and messages . Coco was the happiest puppy ever and I bet she is going to miss them so much - especially their Dog Panther who is such a sweet heart and their little son who became coco’s best friend and companion to play all day :) Coco has found a new second home and we will surely be using them again at our next time away”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and caring for them has always been second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve also dog‑sat for friends and family giving me experience with different breeds, personalities and routines. Whether your pup loves long walks, belly rubs or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy and loved while you’re away. Because I work from home, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day, which means plenty of time for walks, play breaks, feeding and keeping an eye on your pet’s comfort. I build my work schedule around their needs so they get consistent attention and companionship instead of long stretches alone. 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. I have a quiet, calm and pet‑friendly home that’s perfect for animals who enjoy a peaceful environment. 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. I keep my home clean, safe and comfortable and I have a deck where pets can relax outside, enjoy some fresh air and soak up the sun.
