I am very happy with how my girls were treated and will definitely pick Colleen as my sitter next time.”


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. 🐾

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.

“This is the third time this summer we have booked Jenn to watch our two cats, and fourth time since living in Jersey. We always appreciate the pictures of our fur babies Jenn sends, and her professionalism. Jenn is an excellent caretaker, and we highly recommend hiring her for drop in visits!”

“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!”

“I've had some bad experiences with sitters in the past where I can tell from my dog's face that he was nervous and anxious during the stay. When I picked him up after an all day stay at Deborah's house, however, he was relaxed and looked genuinely happy. Deborh was also very responsive to our last minute urgent request. Thank you so much!”

“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!”
“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!”

“Katherine and her family were amazing. She was so helpful and responsive from the very beginning. I knew it pup was in caring and capable hands from the meet and greet. Her family provided plenty of entertainment for our high energy girl. She supplied us with pics and updates throughout Pumpkin's stay. She is definitely our #1 sitter.”

“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: 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).

Let me know!
“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!”


“We were in a pinch and needed to figure out what to do with our dog when an out of town wake and a funeral came up suddenly. We found Jonathan on the Rover map in the area we were staying. He responded promptly and we set up the times we needed daycare. He was flexible as our drop-off and pickup times had to be adjusted. Took care of our dog and - very telling, I think - she seemed fine with going back for the second day. She also seemed fine, looked pretty relaxed when we picked her up,”

“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.”

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.
“My little Cosmo had a great time at kelly’s. I booked last minute and she was happy to watch Cosmo in her house. She sent photos and Cosmo seemed to have a great time. Nice big fenced in backyard.”

“Desi and Marilyn were so kind and patient with Mia. Mia doesn’t like being away from her family, but I was happy to know that she was safe and sound at Desi and Marilyn’s home. Their yard was nicely set up for the dogs, and they had everything neat and organized.”

“Repeat stay and experience with Katherine is once again very helpful,communication is great. Provides proper care ensuring dog receives medication. Provides updates and truly cares for well-being and health of fur baby. 🤍”

“Karalyn is wonderful! Clearly very caring and capable! Perfect inside setting for individualized dog care and great neighborhood with sidewalks for walks. Fantastic communication! Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
“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!”

“Our pepper had a great time with Charles and his family! We had a meet and greet beforehand, and he had a plan for our dog who is high energy but not great with other dogs. She was comfortable immediately at the meet/greet, no reservations at drop off, and came home happy. And Charles sent us photos!”

“Christina and Nick were great with Ollie. They updated us with photos regularly and felt very comfortable with Ollie being there. They also graciously did a meet and greet beforehand as Ollie can be selective with new people. Definitely will be booking again!”

“Thanks Ankita...They were attentive, reliable, and clearly cared for my dog like their own. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was happy, safe, and well taken care of.”

“John was very tentative to our dog . We loved his positive energy . We can tell he's a true animal lover . He was so easy going and flexible when we had to change our drop off off time last minute . Love how him and his son made our dog feel loved :) Photos were adorable of her he sent ! Thanks so much :)”


“Jonathan took great care of Sake! I always worry when Sake is left with someone unfamiliar to him, but Sake was well cared for, and I am happy to have found someone who is so conscientious and loving!”

“Elizabeth and Oleg were everything we looked for and found for our dog, Ralph. When we search for somebody to leave him with, that person must have a fenced in yard and be fine to take him on a walk or two each day. It’s what he’s used to now and it’s what we feel most comfortable with when leaving him for an extended period of time. Elizabeth and Oleg provided both of these AND plenty of photos along the way to let us know that Ralph was enjoying his stay. 10/10 would recommend them if you’re looking for somebody to watch your furry friend.”

“Mirasol is the best! They had a big fenced yard and a pool. The dogs were pampered and they had so much fun. One of my dogs even cried when Mirasol left after dropping them off. I got videos/photos and updates of our dogs while we were on vacation. I highly recommend them. Now I have a peace of mind knowing my dogs have a great place to stay when we travel.”

“Ksenia gave our loved and spoiled precious Benny amazing care, attention, and customized approach. We received great communication for all four days consistently and he was well taken care of. Recommend without hesitation.”
