About: As a lifelong animal lover, caring for pets has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. I have over 15 years of experience pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, giving me a strong foundation in providing safe, attentive, and affectionate care. From energetic pups needing extra playtime to gentle seniors who prefer a calm, steady routine, I’m comfortable adapting to whatever your pet needs to feel right at home. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will have company, attention, and potability breaks throughout the day rather than being left alone for long stretches. While I don’t have pets of my own, I live with my sister and her Great Pyrenees mix—a super friendly, easygoing dog who loves meeting both people and other animals. When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated just like family. You can count on frequent updates, photo check-ins, and plenty of belly rubs so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away! Because I work from home full-time, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine! Since I'm here throughout the day, guest pets are never left alone for long periods. Throughout the week, my flexible schedule allows me to easily accommodate feeding times, medication needs, and individual routines so your pet feels completely comfortable and cared for. In my home, your pet will be treated like a member of the family. Because I work from home full-time, guest pets enjoy constant supervision, regular potability breaks, and a relaxed, comfortable environment. We have a fenced in yard and a 4 year old Great Pyrenees mix. When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is maintaining their normal routine in the environment where they feel safest.
“Audrey took great care of my dogs when she watched them for several days! She kept me updated on their activity and I was happy to know that my fur-babies were being well taken care of!”
“Jonathan was flexible, responsive and easy to work with. He sent photos/video of our dog having lots of time outside, along with some reports on how he was doing. Our dog came home and seemed relaxed and not overly stressed.”
“Jillian and her husband were fantastic with our 5 month old puppy! I would highly recommend them to all that may be in need of a sitter for their dog. We will definitely be calling on them in the future.”
“Bobbi was great. Had a piece of mind leaving my dog with her for 3 weeks. Received daily pictures and had efficient communication. She gave frequent walks and went the extra mile to make my puppy feel at home! Highly recommend!!”
“Trista has been incredibly helpful and flexible, she was helpful when I had a last minute need and was very understanding and open. She makes the stays easy and my dog was very happy staying with her.”
“Lisa is amazing! She did a great job keeping us updated with pics & videos. Our dog has never looked this happy when we’ve gone away. She kept her active with walks & playtime with her pup. Highly recommend!”
“LET ME TELL YOU… Kiara was such a delight and made sure our little meatball (dog) was well taken care of. She communicated often and sent photos of our dog often during his stay. She was such a pleasure and we will be using her as often as we are out of town! Thank you Kiara! And if you’re considering.. we highly recommend Kiara!”
“Brain was very easy to work with. Meet and Greet was super easy and the actual boarding was super smooth. Max seems to have had a great time with Brian. I would highly recommend Brian.”

“My pup is so shy. I was so nervous leaving him but on his first I got pictures daily & he did very well. On his second stay he had no problem going right to the door. I felt so at ease leaving him. I would highly recommend!”
“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!”
“So happy we found Michele. She took Momo out on a walk multiple times a day and sent us plenty of pictures. For a picky dog like ours Michele really fit the bill. Would 100% recommend.”
“Jenny and her family were warm and inviting when I met them. They have a nice large enclosed fenced in yard for Jasmine to explore. Jenny took good care of Jasmine, sending many pictures of her during the weekend.”
“Siram and Rekha are a blessings to my family. Caliber my Golden Doddle is my whole world and the minute I met Siram and Rekha we bonded and I feel comfortable I was leaving Caliber in the best care and his 2nd home. Caliber gets along well with Milo. As long as they would have Caliber when I need a second home Siram and Rekha is my only option. Thank you both.”

“Paola was the best!! She gave us such thorough updates, which gave us a great sense of how Milo and Swift were doing throughout our 2-week trip. We honestly loved reading them!

“Megan was fantastic with our two cats during our holiday. Reliable, caring, and great with communication. We really appreciated the updates and felt confident our cats were in good hands. Highly recommended!”

It was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals, and our cats absolutely adored her 😸 Coming home to four happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for cats was the best feeling. She went above and beyond to make sure their routines stayed consistent and that each of them received plenty of attention and care. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our furry family!”
“Nicole was fantastic looking after my cat. He’s 16 and can be grumpy but she got him to socialize a bit and even eat treats from her hand. She’s really good with him and great at communication with me while I was away. Definitely will use Nicole’s services again.”
“Christina is amazing? She stopped by to meet the cats and you could tell she had genuine interest in taking great care of them. And she did. Each visit had details of their time and full of pictures. She made sure to split enough time between 2 time a day visits without it being too long…perfect! Our furry friends were in great hands.”
“June was a fantastic pet sitter! Took great care of my cats, with attention, love and photos of how they were doing while I was away. I could not have asked for a better caregiver, and would highly recommend her!”

About: We are a loving and lively household where we will snuggle and play fetch with your pup, take them to the dog park, and keep them happy and occupied. My husband and I have a very active goldendoodle, Bell, who is 9 years old. Neither of us remember a time when there wasn't a dog in the house growing up! We know that we are taking on no small task when we agree to be responsible for your furry friend. We will follow your instructions to a T and we realize that every doggo is their own unique individual with their own unique needs. We are pros when it comes to high-energy dogs with a mind of their own! I am a full-time parent of three and we have a dog of our own whom we are home with all day. Staying active with our doodle is an integral part of our daily routine and we would love to have even more walks, games of fetch, and tricks + treats to look forward to! We LOVE to love on your pet! In our home you can expect a minimum of two 20-minute walks a day, plus more upon request and some leash time in our back yard if they like to hang out and observe the world. We are big proponents of fetch and chase.
“I cannot emphasize as much how wonderful Andres has been with Maui. He is truly kind, gentle and fun and Maui cannot wait to get out of the car quick enough to greet Andres. Thank you!”
“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,”
“We had a wonderful experience with Anna! Duke had an amazing time at her place and absolutely loved spending the day with their dog Theo. Anna is incredibly caring and attentive to the dogs in her care. She was very mindful of Duke’s needs and made sure he was comfortable throughout the day. We especially appreciated the frequent updates, pictures, and videos — it was so reassuring to see how happy and relaxed Duke was. We would absolutely trust Anna with Duke again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and loving sitter.”
“June was great while taking care of our pup. Kept us posted on all of the activities and shared pictures and videos. Molly looked like she had a blast with other Boston terrier June was caring for that day. Good experience. Recommended.”
“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!”
About: I’m a mom of 2. One in college and the other a college graduate living on their own. I had dogs growing up. We had a dog as the kids grew up with and lost him in 2019. I pet sit for family members whenever I can. I work from home and have a flexible schedule so hopefully I can meet your needs. I work from home and my hours for work are flexible. I can adjust my schedule as needed. This will hopefully meet your needs and your pet. I am always home and have a beautiful lake to walk your four legged friend around while they are here. I go at your pets pace so if they like to sniff around that’s fine.
“Champ had the greatest day with Eunice and her family! He ran around the yard, played with her dog and got so many cuddles! I can always tell what kind of day he’s had when I pick him up and he was happy as can be! Plus lots of amazing pics throughout the day. Highly recommend Eunice!”
“Debbie sent pictures and all I saw were 2 small dogs who did not miss their human Mom. There was play time (smiles and action), down time (cuddling and relaxing). I was always under the impression they sat in a corner and missed me with all their tiny hearts, but no - Debbie had them going the whole time! One fell asleep on the drive home due to the days action, the other needed every minute of tthe days action! Her property is amazing! Gorgeous setting only maybe two or three miles from downtown Bernardsville. So much safe space to run and play in. Exploring is at the top of Louie's requirements and he had a whole acre of fenced in yard to get all his Terrier on! Thanks so much Debbie! WE WILL BE BACK!!!!”
“Dhanak had a nice time with Louis. Dhanak is a special needs dog since she is deaf. Louis was extremely patient with her and understood her well. Louis was also accommodating since we were late to pick her up. We would definitely book again!!”
“Trista was a huge help in watching our two pointers for the day. One of them is very anxious, and Trista was able to get him to relax and to enjoy his time at her house. Trista is very professional and communication throughout the day was very easy. I would definitely rebook in the future.”
“Jessica was great! I had a last min booking with her and she was super flexible with it all. She took great care of my dog and took her on many walks. She sent many photos of my dog playing with her dog and they were the best of friends. Thanks for caring for my pup! Looking forward to the next rebook!”

About: With over 14 years of personal pet care experience, I bring a deep understanding of what it takes to keep dogs happy and thriving. For over a decade, I lovingly cared for my own dog through all stages of life, and I have spent years fostering dogs of various breeds, backgrounds, and temperaments. Fostering has taught me how to be incredibly patient, how to read canine body language, and how to help anxious or shy dogs feel safe in a new environment. I treat every guest with the same dedicated, individualized care I gave my own pets and fosters.🐾🐶 I currently work part-time, which gives me a very consistent and reliable daily routine. I am fully available every single day during the afternoon from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM, making me the perfect fit for midday potty breaks, walks, and playtime. I also have plenty of extra time in the evenings during the weekend for dinner feedings or cozy companionship! When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space and your furry family members with the same love, patience, and respect I would want for my own. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while you’re away, so I do my best to keep their usual routine consistent—including feeding times, walks, playtime, cuddles, and potty breaks—to help ease any stress or separation anxiety. I also make sure your home stays secure by keeping doors locked and ensuring pets are safely inside before I leave. Most importantly, I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, loved, and in caring hands! 🐕

“Stella loved going for walks with Mike and always came back worn out lol which is exactly what I wanted. Mike was punctual, kind, and always treated Stella with care. Would 100% recommend him.”

He’s usually a little moody after staying at boarding facilities, but this time he came home happy, calm, and clearly well-loved. It was such a relief knowing he was being cared for in a home environment, and Manuel made the whole process easy and stress-free. I got updates, photos, and could tell Shadow was getting plenty of attention and even some good dog socializing. I’ll definitely be booking with Manuel again — highly recommend”

“Sal and Troy are super flexible, willing to make early am pickups and late evening drop offs, so that we can spend all additional moments pre and post vacation with our puppy. They are patient with a new dog mom in assuring me via text he is doing well and to enjoy my time away, and they send daily updates. They also are confident in dealing with stomach issues or oral medicine administering. We’ve used them twice now, and he returns from their home in great spirits, and seems excited to go home with them when we leave. I’ve already recommended them to friends.”
“I can’t recommend them enough! We were nervous to leave Elsa with anyone, but they were wonderful and treated her like family. The frequent updates kept our minds completely at ease. They were absolutely wonderful and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
