“Bob was wonderful to our nervous little pup! He made sure she was well taken care of and she felt very much at home at his place. Would definitely have her stay again!”
About: I love dogs and look forward to meeting your loved one! I plan on treating your pup the way I would treat my own, with love! I love getting a chance to hang out with as many dogs as possible. I have experience in dog watching my family's and friend's dogs and I want to gain more experience. I have a flexible work schedule and can accommodate your pet by dropping in to play, take your dog for a walk, or dog sit. I know what it's like to have a busy and hectic schedule and would love to help you by caring for your pet. I live near trails and like to spend walking them. Your dog will be in responsible hands until you return. I enjoy spending time with puppies as well as senior citizen dogs and every age in between. Please let me know how I can best serve your pet. I work on the road and make my own schedule so I can come visit your pet as often as needed! I love the flexibility in my schedule so that I can have multiple passions I have a cat at home but she is very friendly. I also live in Red Bank so can go for walks around town with your dog!
“Loves dogs. Did great with Eddie. We were on vacation and booked a night of boarding so we could go into the city. Figured out what he liked. Great updates throughout the day. Very clean home. I’d board him with her again. Wish she lived closer to us in Ohio.”
“Rachel is amazing. She is very accommodating and she really took great care of Chloe for 2 weeks. She's a lifesaver. She got along great with George and Chloe fit right in with them. It gave me a huge piece of mind knowing how well she was cared for. I highly recommend Rachel to watch your loved one. She's great”
“Lexi & Prashanth were fantastic! They sent pictures and updates throughout the weekend and took great care of my dog. He was happy and clearly loved his stay. I’d absolutely use them again and highly recommend them!”
“I recently boarded my 1 year old Frenchie and my 13 year old lab with Mary and Aaron. I could not have been more pleased with my choice. Mary and Aaron (along with their two children-Angus and Allison) cared for my dogs as if they were their own. (Allison had a home-made welcome sign posted on the fence for our arrival). The fact that they have ramps was an added benefit for my older dog. I was constantly updated with status reports and photos which demonstrated that my dogs were having the time of their lives (while on vacation). My dogs were exhausted for days after I picked them up. This family will be my "go to" for boarding and pet sitting. You will not be disappointed. -Jackie D (Locust, NJ)”
“Maui had the absolute best time with JoEllen and her family! JoEllen sent so many photos and videos, which I absolutely loved! Maui had the best time! He loved going for the long walk on the beach and from all photos, I can tell he was having a blast playing in JoEllen's backyard! Maui will definitely be visiting again!”
“Rick was beyond the most amazing host. From the moment Riley met him at the meet & greet, I knew my baby would be in good hands. He sent pictures often and updated me on their shenanigans. Can't recommend him more.”
“Our beagle gets very emotional when he's not with the family. However, he seemed at ease and very comfortable with Lorrie right away! I loved the short clips she sent us every day showing our little guy having a great time.”
“Jamie creates a very calm and comfortable space for our shy and sometimes timid small dog (who gets excellent care, naps, walks, and attention). We're really happy we found her and even more pleased that our dog loves her time with her.”
“Richard and Barbara were very warm and welcoming to me and to my dog Maia. They gave her so much attention and affection. I felt like she Maia was in very good hands with them! We will definitely be using Richard and Barbara in the future!”
“First time using Rover and Megan made it so stress- free! Her and her husband were amazing at answering any questions and kept me updated via texts and pictures of how my pup was doing. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for a sitter.”
“Ken is such a gem. You can tell he loves dogs and wants to help them have a great day. Our senior dog Marty was right at home and felt so excited to be at his house. The fenced in yard and regular updates of her relaxing in the grass were lovely touches. We'll definitely ask for Ken's help again in the future!”
“Emerald and Minty took such good care of my little guy while i was out of town! She sent so many pictures and kept me updated about everything going on. My dog has his quirks and can be a bit anxious, but everything went smoothly and I felt so relaxed knowing he was being treated like a king! Could not recommend Emerald and Minty enough!!”
“Julie was absolutely phenomenal! Upon my first meeting with her, she just made me feel so comfortable and confident with my choice in her. We have 2 Boston Terriers and, as terriers typically can be, they can be quite energetic. This didn’t deter Julie at all!! She welcomed them with open arms! Julie watched our boys for basically a week. She sent pictures (that were amazing, by the way) multiple times a day and checked in to give us updates so we knew they were both happy and well-loved all week. We will definitely be using Julie again! She’s so sweet, attentive, and knowledgeable!”
“Deena provides a warm and friendly environment with a huge enclosed yard perfect for pups of all kinds. She sent us pics at least once a day and kept us well informed about how our pup was doing. This was our first time using Deena and we will do so again!”
“Leaving our beagle Maxine with Stephanie was a great decision for us.. We picked her up a little later than end of day, and Stephanie was flexible enough to accommodate us . Will definitely keep using Stephanie for future dog sitting needs”
“Christen was awesome with our dog Marty. Very thoughtful and communicative. I know Marty had a great week while staying there. I would gladly ask Christen to help with Marty in the future.”

“Stephanie is incredible. She has been super communicative and thorough. It’s such a relief to be able to get away and know that our cats are in such caring and thoughtful hands. Highly recommend.”
“We were a bit cautious to leave our kitties after a bad experience with a different pet sitting service. Angelica’s attention detail, photos, updates completely set my mind at ease. She even did walk throughs of the house to make sure the kitties didn’t get into anything they shouldn’t. I didn’t even have to ask her- she could tell I was a bit nervous and took it upon herself to go the extra mile. Highly recommend!”
“Max was a great sitter for my cat Snow while I was on vacation. Upon meeting with a Meet and Greet, he was attentive to the needs and ensured questions he had were answered. Given my cat needed oral medication, he asked for a demonstration on how to give him the medication to give him in order to ensure he got it delivered correctly. He was punctual for all agreed on times to visit, friendly, and reached out with any questions as needed. I came home to a very happy cat and would not hesitate to rebook with Max again!”
“We are so grateful to Alison for taking such wonderful care of our cats, Wrigley and Shea, while my husband and I were away on vacation. Leaving our pets is never easy, but Alison made it so much easier for us to relax and truly enjoy our time away. From the start, Alison was thoughtful, attentive, and incredibly caring. She paid close attention to all the little details of their routines and made sure they received plenty of love, attention, and playtime. It was clear that she genuinely enjoyed spending time with them, and they were clearly very happy in her care. The daily pictures and updates meant so much to us. Seeing Wrigley and Shea each day, looking happy and comfortable, gave us tremendous peace of mind and made us feel connected to them even while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our two fur babies. Alison went above and beyond, and we are so thankful for the care and love she gave them. We will absolutely be asking Alison to watch Wrigley and Shea the next time we’re out of town. We highly recommend her! ❤️🐾”
About: I’ve had a cat almost my whole life but she now lives with my grandma. When my grandma is out of town I help her feed the cat, clean the cats litter, and make sure she comes inside since she is an outdoor cat at times.
“Kelly has been helping me with my two small dogs, Gigi and Roxie. She is very loving towards them while handling feeding, pee pad cleanup, and whatever else they may need while I am out of town.”
About: Hello! I worked at Dogs on The Farms Pet Hotel for almost a year and since leaving continued pet sitting and enjoying being around fur babies! I also used to volunteer at my local animal shelter as a foster parent until I failed and adopted my dog! I am currently a student and only working part time due to my schedule. I am always around and accept most dog sitting and walking gigs I get! I do not bring dogs into my own home due to my own fur baby. I have slept and transported dogs to other house and have been provided with a key. When sleeping at other houses I obey there rules and put blankets in the wash and leave the place as clean as when they left it!
“Sofia is the best! She is so very kind and professional— she took the booking for me last minute when I was in a pinch and went out of her way to accommodate me and my kitty. I felt my cat was so safe and so well cared for in her hands! Thank you Sofia!!”
“Sarah was fantastic. Dropped in for my two cats for 5 days. The cats were comfortable with her and she was able to give my cat her meds. She gave me great updates & photos every day. I’m so grateful for Sarah and highly recommend her!!”
About: With over 30 years of hands-on experience, I bring a lifetime of love and dedication to every animal I care for. From raising blue ribbon show dogs to nurturing pets with special needs, I’ve seen it all—and loved them all. I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes and temperaments, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My deep empathy and understanding of animal behavior ensure your pet receives not just care, but comfort and connection. Whether it's a leisurely walk, a wellness check-in, or specialized support, your furry (or otherwise!) family is in gentle, experienced hands. I am a middle school and high school ESL teacher, which gives me a lot of flexibility over the summer to take care of furry friends! As our yard is not fenced in, and we have two cats of our own inside, caring for pets in my own home is sadly not an option. However I'm happy to come over as frequently as needed for walks and check-ins
About: Cats have been my whole life… literally! I've been a cat lover since the age of 3, and my own beloved cat has been by my side for 13 years. That's decades of hands-on experience that goes far beyond the basics. I am fully comfortable caring for cats with special needs, including daily brushing, gently wiping eyes, noses, and ears, and keeping litter boxes fresh and clean. I understand that every cat has their own unique personality, routine, and quirks and I take the time to learn and respect all of them. Whether your kitty is shy and slow to warm up, needs extra grooming attention, or requires a careful daily routine, you can rest easy knowing they are in experienced, loving hands. Your cat won't just be looked after, they'll be truly cherished.
About: As a child I grew up with dogs and one cat. Since then my amount of love for cats grew. I love meeting cats and seeing how they are personality wise. I know the smell of the litter box can be ..bad. That won’t be a worry with me though! 🐱😇
“Kamryn is wonderful! Highly recommend. She was prompt, polite and attentive. She provided daily updates, pictures while we were away. She kept all 4 litter boxes clean and food bowls fresh. My two senior cats are not always easy to please, but she won them over! Will be booking her again for our next trip!”
“Marie was an absolute profesional and made my wife and I at ease while we were out of town. It would usually take me a few times to trust someone with my elderly cat, but Marie made me comfortable right of the bat. I highly recommend her services and will definitely be using her again!”

“Bella had a great time at Jamie's, running in her nice grassy backyard. I really appreciate that Jamie was able to watch Bella while we went to the beach, and was very flexible about the drop off and pickup. And cute photos and videos are great!”
“Lorrie was SUCH a help to watch our pup in short notice and was so understanding to adjust her schedule to help us. Reina always has a blast with Lorrie and we cannot wait to bring her back to Lorrie’s real soon!”
“Karma was so excited to arrive at Mary and Aaron’s house! He remembered it from our meet and greet months earlier and couldn’t wait to get in the yard to play. He had a great day and came home exhausted and happy! We will definitely be bringing him there again.”
“Rick was amazing with our 4 month old puppy! It is immediately clear how much he loves dogs and I knew our pup would be in great hands. Gus spent the day with Rick and his dogs and came back very happy and very tired. Rick sent us awesome video updates all day long. We can’t wait to leverage Rick’s services again soon!”
About: I've had a love for dogs for as long as I can remember. In college, I fostered over 10 dogs and cats before they found their forever home. Recently, I raised and trained a dog of my own which taught me all the necessities of being a great dog mom:) My sweet Luna is a five-year-old border collie filled with lots of love for new people and furry friends. I am super eager to help whoever may need it! I'm working a remote job so my schedule is super flexible! I am able to take my breaks whenever I want and can most likely adhere to your schedule. I have the means of transportation to go to clients' homes as well as bring them to my pet-friendly apartment. I live by multiple parks within a 5-minute walk so I am able to spend lots of time outside. My number one priority is making you and your furry friend as happy as possible.
“Kathleen is the best. I knew I was leaving Stella in good hands as when I dropped off Stella, she immediately ran over to Kathleen and greeted with her with a couple of kisses/licks hello. Stella had a great day as she slept soundly that night. Highly recommend :-)”
“Alley took amazing care of our dog Libby. She was communicative and thoughtful. She gave Libby puzzle toys and lick mats for some stimulation while it was too cold to play outside. Would highly recommend”
“Fiona is amazing. She was super kind to us and took great care of Odin during our day at the beach. Great communication and very flexible. Odin will definitely come back! Thank you for everything, Fiona!”
“Our 11-month-old Cocker Spaniel, Connor Boy, loved his play date with Pernille's puppy, Jens!. We had a very very pleasant meet and greet a few weeks ago and Pernille. Connor and Jens had became instant pals. Sandy and I were very comfortable leaving Connor with Pernille and we will look forward to another play date when the opportunity arises. Thank you Pernille, Jens and Ram!!!”
About: Hey! When it comes to loving animals and letting them chill, I’m your person. I’ve taken care of my neighbor, coworker, family and friends’ pets! I love them all and they’ll love my apartment. I cannot wait to take care of yours. I’m a professional writer working from home so I’m in my apt during the day and can spend time looking after your pet and giving them attention if they wish! I have the bay right across the street from my home so if you’re in the area we might go on a walk around there! If the weather permits, we might even take a stroll to Manhattan Beach! I have a one bedroom apartment with an outdoor balcony and a high fence around it. There is lots of space indoors and out and no other pets live with me.
“Shannon took wonderful care of our Mabel. You can tell that she is a true dog lover. We were kept me up to date on how she was doing throughout the day. We will definitely bring Mabel back. Thanks Shannon!”
“Connor Boy had a fantastic play date with Skye and Winnie! Skye sent photos of them "wrestling" and sharing toys! Skye is very lay back loves dogs and shared photos of his very many puppy clients. We look forward to our next opportunity to schedule a date.”
“Michelle was great with my little puppy. She was very patient and took Shelly on lots of walks. I would definitely use Michelle again as she was also very friendly and professional.”
“Christina was awesome! It was my first time using a sitter from the rove app and she couldn’t have made the experience any better. I felt completely comfortable leaving my pup there all day! She truly was amazing, she sent photos, videos, and updates throughout the day which made me believe my pup was in great hands and indeed she was. When I got to Christina’s house to pick up my dog she did not want to leave haha, will definitely be back!”

“Max is fantastic! Great communication and observant of Nox’s needs. He overheats quickly and Max was considerate to ask if he is ok or if he should end the walk early. Much appreciated will book again 😁”
“Angelica is a great person to take care of your dog or walk them. I would recommend her and use her again in the future if needed. She is always keeping you informed about the walk and if any issues come up. She is always on time and will communicate with you if she is running late.”
About: I'm a lifelong dog lover with plenty of experience caring for family pets and neighbors' dogs, often stepping in as a trusted pet sitter when they’re away. Over the years, I’ve learned how to handle different breeds and temperaments with patience and care, always making sure each dog feels comfortable and safe in my home. I also have a well-trained dog of my own, who’s friendly and well-behaved, however, when I watch other dogs, they’ll have the house to themselves on occasion, (as he frequently spends time visiting his grandma!), giving them space to relax without the stress of interacting with a new animal. My goal is always to provide a calm, loving environment where your dog feels right at home. I’m currently working freelance and have the flexibility to watch your pet as needed during the week and weekend. With advanced notice, I am able to provide boarding/overnight services. My home offers a clean, open floor plan with plenty of space for your dog to relax and explore comfortably. There’s an enclosed outdoor patio for fresh air and sun, along with two large dog beds topped with clean sheets to help your pup feel right at home. I also provide natural treats as a little extra touch to keep them happy and satisfied. When your pet is staying with me, they’ll be my top priority. I’m committed to giving them my full attention, care, and affection during their visit.

“Jackie B was right on time , friendly and great with My Dog . My dog was anxious and hyper to get out, but Jackie was able to handle it all . She even sent me a pic while on their walk . I would definitely recommend Jackie , and hire her again”
“Olivia was so kind with Wally. She even cleaned up an accident that Wally had. She sent us lots of photos and provided us updates. We look forward to working with Olivia again.”
“Kelly is awesome! Kelly has been walking our 6 month old Shiba Inu several days a week on a fixed schedule while we are at work. Kelly always shows up in the agreed upon window of time and takes our dog for a nice walk. She is very nice and personable and even made friends with our 5 year old son. Our dog seems very happy and we think she loves seeing her new friend! Best of all, we trust Kelly in our home and with our beloved Luna while we are not around. Thank you Kelly!”
“First time using Rover. I am very pleased with the care provided by Vick for my two Cavachons Kurt and Kyle. She was very detailed orientated regarding their care and provided a nice long walk while we were out all day. A very kind care giver, the boys had a great time with her. Five star performance!!”
“Leigh was able to help us at the last minute. She took such good care of our dog Sadie. We were able to communicate with her while we were away. And she sent us pictures. So grateful for her!”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve done all the chores that come with them. I’ve had a big dog and a little dog almost my entire life. My big dog is now older, so I have to help him with his arthritis. I’ve had to pick up poop, feed them, walk them, and massage him. I don’t have a job currently, so I’m free for anyone’s convenience! Besides when I have to go to the gym, or when im on vacation. I have a fenced yard and a specific place for them to use the bathroom outside, and also have a pee pee pad inside that I switch out twice a day.
“Cindy was fantastic! I needed someone to take my dog out during the day when I had to go into work last minute. Cindy was prompt and took great care of my 10 month old puppy while I was out. She even made sure to come over the day before to meet me and my dog to make sure we were comfortable. We look forward to using her services again!”
About: I have over two years of professional experience working with dogs and have been a dog owner for more than 15 years. I believe in allowing dogs to approach at their own pace and building trust through patience and understanding. I have experience caring for puppies as well as dogs with behavioral challenges. I am the owner of Outreach Dog Walking LLC. I’m a college student with flexible availability. The only times I’m unavailable are Tuesdays before 1 PM and Thursdays. I live at home, so overnights at my home aren’t an option, but I’m happy to stay overnight at your home if needed. I am capable of handling multi-dog families. Due to my background, I'm used to seeing sibling sets of 2-3, despite never personally owning more than 2 dogs at 1 time
About: I’ve always had 3+ pets at a time in my household growing up, always a combination of dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with small and large dogs! I have experience feeding, walking, giving some medicines and playing with all pets. I have experience with aging pets, including senior cats and diabetic dogs requiring insulin. I’m currently working full-time in person, but my boyfriend does work fully remote from our apartment. We are happy to host your pet if they need attention during the day! I’m also available to come by any time after work or on the weekends. I always ensure the environment is safe, nothing that could be harmful is in reach of the pets. I live in an apartment with an elevator and a great area to walk around.

We would not hesitate to recommend or use their services again . Thank you!”
“Patricia and her son were amazing hosts to Burberry!

About: I have taken care of dogs for most of my adult life. My wife and I have made a point to adopt large older dogs that tend to be stuck in the shelter system. All dogs are good and deserve to live a fun filled, happy, and loved life. I am also recently pet CPR and first aid certified by The American Red Cross. Im currently working part time three nights during the week so I have plenty of free time to take care of your pups. Having recently lost our beloved Mastiff, I've been craving some pup time. I have a fully fenced in yard and have plenty of room to crate your pups. We recently lost our dog so we are pet free. Being dog people, we welcome your dogs like they were our family.
“Susana was very sweet with our dog. She cared for him as if he were her very own. She pampered him and showed so much love that I was worried he wouldn’t want to come home (lol). She provided daily pics and updates which meant a lot to us. I would definitely recommend. Thanks so much for taking such good care of our sweet boy!”
“Angelica is a dream host! I can't wait to book my puppy with them again as soon as possible! I got the cutest photos of all of their adventures and he came back cleaner than I sent him and tired from all the fun!”
