“Joanne was amazing with our doggo. He tried to go on a hunger strike but she completely got him to eat…he had lots of walks and love!! Would absolutely have him stay with her again!!”
“Jenny and her family took excellent care of our 1 year old lab puppy. This was her first time away from up, and Jenny kept in touch and sent pictures often. Our pup was returned to us happy and healthy. We will certainly be using Jenny and her family again to care for our pup while we are away!”
“Karina was so sweet with our dog for his overnight stay! From the looks of all the adorable pictures she sent, he was treated just like a member of the family! Thank you again, Preston looks forward to coming back soon!”
“I feel bad for myself when my dogs have a good time without me. - but THEY LOVE GOING TO DEB’S! An overnight and no problems, no starving themselves, no crying all night. Just a regular day only without me. How lucky am I to have access to this help for my furr babies (and for my soul)!”
“It was great experience again with Ryan as that of last time. We got regular and timely updates on Sparkle and she looked happy with him. Thanks Ryan for taking care of Sparkle so well.”
“Trista was great and my dog had a wonderful visit. I got pictures so I could tell she was happy while I was away and she was happy when I picked her up. Trista kept me informed and I could tell my dog was in good hands.”
“Thank you Emily for your exceptional care provided for Sprouty. Throughout your time, you consistently went above and beyond our expectations. The extra time you spent getting to know Sprouty's unique personality, quirks, and anxieties truly made a significant impact on Sprouty's well-being. The regular updates and pictures you provided were immensely reassuring and helped us feel connected to Sprouty, while we were away. Would recommend you to our friends and family and would definitely consider next time if we are in the area. Thank you.”
“I cannot say enough about how happy we are that we left Cooper with Natalie and Kevin. Communication was so easy - very responsive. Pictures all week long at various times of the day that allowed us to see our puppy happy and healthy during his stay. Both Kevin and Natalie are so sweet and you can tell just how much they love dogs! We recommend them wholeheartedly and will absolutely leave our pup in their care again. We are so thankful!!!”
“Shaun and his family were an amazing host! He took very good care of our dog, taking her on daily walks, playing with her and sending frequent updates and pictures. We highly recommend Shaun and will look for him in the future.”
“I felt really good about leaving my 11-year-old Benny boy with Jennifer and Jason after spending an hours visit with them prior to dropping him off. They are clearly dog (animal) people…… and took him into their home as one of theirs. What more could I ask for?”
“Stan and Barbara took such great care of our dog for the week. They shared daily updates and pictures which we really enjoyed. We will definitely contact them again when we need a dog sitter. Happy to have found them using Rover!”
“Scott continues to do an amazing job as a dog sitter for our dog Odysseus. Our dog has surgery and he is more anxious now. I was nervous about him staying someplace overnight again but we trust Scott and again he did not disappoint. He is so caring about animals in general. Shows so much compassion and love. Honestly, if you need a sitter or care in the area for your pets Scott is it! Thank you so much Scott!”
“I have a 12 yr cockapoo who requires daily medication. Noria has been our overnight sitter since April 2024. She only takes one dog in addition to her own sweet Milo. Noria is incredibly kind, smart, professional, loves dogs and has a gentle/loving way in interacting with my Kobe. She has been truly a blessing to find! My family and I are assured that when we leave Kobe for an overnight with Noria that he is being cared for as if he is part of her family. Kobe can be an anxious dog and slow to warm up to people. She has a patient and playful disposition. From the first time he met her he was happy, calm and it was evident that he felt secure in her care. The medication and feeding instructions have always been followed and understood. We appreciate the photos she sends and the updates as to how he is doing. Noria is a genuine individual who has been a complete joy for our family to work with. We are so happy that she has been caring for Kobe. When we go away we know he looks forward to his time with Noria and Milo!”
“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.”
“Lisa and her family was amazing and very affectionate with my furbaby. She sent periodic updates and pics. My dog was very well cared for by Lisa and her children. Her dog bear is adorable and playful. Ollie enjoyed his time with Bear and Lisa’s family. Thank you so much for making the process so easy. I would definately book again in a heartbeat and recommend you to anyone!”
“Very friendly and communicative. Sent photo updates. Very quick response time. Oakley seemed so happy to be there and got along with her family well. My dog had an uncharacteristic accident (pee) over night and Ana handled this without issue or frustration. She helped Oakleys settle in and feel comfortable so this didn’t happen again!”
“Gisselle and her family are the perfect family for our dogs to stay with while away from home!! They are loving, patient, attentive and absolutely spoiled our two Shetland Sheepdogs!! Gisselle sent photos as well as updates throughout the days we were away. The images showed my two pups comfortable, happy and having a blast playing the day away!! I could not be more grateful for her care in every way. Gisselle is my “go to family” now for all our dog care needs. She is the absolute best!!”
“Absolutely amazing, Monica was very responsive, she sent photos, she definitely knew exactly what she was doing!!! She managed to make a good experience out of a tough day for my cat. I will never not appreciate how much love and comfort she provided for my fur baby.”

About: I've had cats my entire life and have experience caring for them at every stage, from playful kittens to senior cats with medical needs. I've also cared for stray cats, helping them build trust and feel safe in a home environment. Because of this experience, I'm comfortable with a wide range of feline personalities, whether they're outgoing and playful or shy and independent. I'm experienced with feeding routines, litter box care, administering routine medications, and recognizing when a cat may need extra attention or a quieter environment. I understand that cats thrive on consistency, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, respected, and cared for while their owners are away.
About: I’ve had cats my entire life and truly understand their unique personalities and needs. Cats aren’t one-size-fits-all and some want space, some crave affection, and others need time and patience to feel comfortable. I’m attentive, gentle, and always meet each cat where they are. Whether your cat is social, shy, playful, or independent, I take the time to understand their routine, boundaries, and preferences. My goal is to make every cat feel safe, respected, and cared for in their own way. I’m here to understand, support, and care for all cats
“Cassandra was great. She gave me a detailed message with lots of pics at each visit. She was also very prompt whenever I messaged her. I'll definitely book with Cassandra again.”
“From the reports and Rover card photos Izzy really enjoyed Emma's company, and despite being a shy cat, he came out and let her brush him right away. She made me feel comfortable leaving Izzy in someone else's care for the first time. I will definitely book her for my next trip, if she's available.”
“Ysela took excellent care of our cat while we were away. She was available for a last min weekend trip. She was incredibly responsive and took notes on how to care for our cat.

She came for a meet and greet and was absolutely wonderful with both our cats. I would highly recommended Taylor especially if you have animals with medical conditions!”
“Jake took very good care of Izzy and, more importantly, made me feel confident that he was being cared for while I was away. Very responsive and kept me up to date on how my pet was doing in my absence. Received just the right amount of reports and information I was expecting. Highly recommend Jake as a caring and responsible sitter.”
“Tanuj did a wonderful job taking care of our elderly kitty Bubba. She took a visit to warm up to him, but once she realized that he was there to give her fishies, she was ALL about it. We got pictures and updates showing how she was doing which definitely made our time away from her loads easier. Thanks heaps Tanuj! 🐾”
“My dog Onyx looked forward to his walks and play time with Giselle. She arrived timely and followed instructions well. She came to my home twice a day for two days straight and she was great. She really came through in a pinch! Will use her services again without a doubt!”
“Erica was fantastic sitting for my cat Lily while I was on vacation. It was a last minute request due to a family illness, and it couldn’t have worked out better. Erica provided multiple daily updates/photos, and I I could tell Lily was very comfortable. I will absolutely use Erica again!”
“Klea dropped in on our cats over the weekend, and it was as if we never left. She has terrific communication and is super easy to work with. Would definitely use her again in the future!”

“I am super grateful that Porkchop was able to stay with Estefania. He had a blast! She was very sweet and sent tons of videos so I got to see my boy having a fun time. I know he was in great hands. She was in touch thru out the day and was understanding when I was a bit late for pick up. I would absolutely bring him back for another stay!”
“George had a wonderful time at Jillian’s home. Jillian sent me pictures and updates throughout the day which was a thoughtful addition! My George suffers from separation anxiety and upon picking him up there were not signs of that. We are so thankful that we found Jillian! Additionally, Jillian responds quick and has been a pleasure to connect with - would trust Jillian with my pup any time!”
“Aleja was absolutely wonderful with Gus! From the moment we connected, she was kind, gentle, and clearly cared about making sure he was comfortable and happy. She kept us updated throughout, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It’s not always easy leaving your dog with someone new, but Aleja made the whole experience stress-free. We came home to a very happy pup! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

“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!!!!”

We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive sitter. Thank you Katie!”
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: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life — from dogs and cats to guinea pigs, sugar gliders, and even a pet chicken! Today, I’m the proud pet mom of two dogs (Poppy, a sweet pit-hound mix, and Banks, a goofy Great Pyrenees pup) and one curious cat named Sterling. As a fellow pet parent, I know how important it is to feel your fur baby is safe, loved, and truly cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like my own — with patience, affection, and lots of playtime or snuggles (depending on their vibe!). Whether your pet needs structured care, a calm companion, or just someone who gets how much they mean to you, I’m here to help. I work from home full-time, so your pet will have my full attention throughout the day. Whether they need frequent potty breaks, extra playtime, or just a cozy companion nearby, I’ll be there — basically at their beck and call! I have a temporary fenced yard enclosed with galvanized steel fencing — it safely contains my two pups during supervised outdoor time. I never leave any dogs outside unsupervised. If you’d prefer your dog stays leashed, I’m more than happy to accommodate that! Inside, my home is set up in a way that allows me to separate your pet from mine if needed, to ensure a safe and comfortable experience for everyone.
“Maggie had a great time at Scott’s. We felt very comfortable leaving Maggie with Scott and when we returned to pick her up we could tell that she liked him and was comfortable there. She will definitely be visiting again.”

About: I’ve been caring for my own animals since childhood and grew up with big dogs. Today I share my life with an 80-pound hound mix and a Velcro cat.

But I’m open on weekends and nights! Weekends are pretty open both Saturday and Sunday. Nights I’m available for walks and drop ins after 5pm! I have a fenced in yard. However I am going to prefer to come to your house. My dog is a queen and would rather me not bring home dogs. Lol.

I understand that every animal has a unique personality, and I tailor my care to meet their individual needs, whether they have lots of energy, prefer quiet companionship, or need a little extra patience and reassurance.

“Jake helped us with mid-day visits for our dog while we were away. He made sure she got outside for playtime (even in the rain), had fresh water afterward, and was settled back in before leaving. He was very friendly and responsive, and our cat enjoyed a little attention from him too, which was appreciated! We were grateful to have Jake's kind care this past week.”

About: I’ve grown up with Beagles and work well with all breeds and ages. I strongly believe that every dog deserves a day out on the town (or maybe just a walk around it). I’m free most weekends and various times during the day. I can do early mornings or late nights, happy to spend time with any dog throughout the day. I knock and ring the doorbell always first, just so the dogs know I’m coming (if they don’t already), walk in, greet everyone and wish the dogs a good morning, feed and water them, then let them have their breakfast and take them on a walk afterwards, always making sure to clean up after them when I first get there and definitely before I leave.
About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind from old to young since I was little. I have watched family dogs, and friends dogs both in the comfort of my own home and gone to spend the night at their houses. I’ve also trained my own dogs throughout the years, including potty training, simple commands, and crate training. I am currently working part-time at my job and stay home with my son. I am mainly home except for the weekends. And on the weekends, my husband will be home to help out. I have a fenced in yard and currently only have one dog of my own who is super friendly and very energetic so she will exercise your dog in our front yard. She loves to cuddle and she is crate trained. I also have an extra crate in case dogs need to be created for whatever reason.
About: I’ve given my pets baths walks taken them to vet for checkup administered medicine gave them I’ve fluids taken them for rides in my car I’m doing this full time I’m retired so I’m available almost everyday and nights I’ll walk feed take out give your pet tenet loving care I have a fenced in yard with inground pool 1 medium size dog my dogs have been allowed on my sofas and bed I will crate them if that’s what you want

“It was great experience again with Ryan as that of last time. We got regular and timely updates on Sparkle and she looked happy with him. Thanks Ryan for taking care of Sparkle so well.”
“Trista was great and my dog had a wonderful visit. I got pictures so I could tell she was happy while I was away and she was happy when I picked her up. Trista kept me informed and I could tell my dog was in good hands.”
“I cannot say enough about how happy we are that we left Cooper with Natalie and Kevin. Communication was so easy - very responsive. Pictures all week long at various times of the day that allowed us to see our puppy happy and healthy during his stay. Both Kevin and Natalie are so sweet and you can tell just how much they love dogs! We recommend them wholeheartedly and will absolutely leave our pup in their care again. We are so thankful!!!”
“Shaun and his family were an amazing host! He took very good care of our dog, taking her on daily walks, playing with her and sending frequent updates and pictures. We highly recommend Shaun and will look for him in the future.”
“I felt really good about leaving my 11-year-old Benny boy with Jennifer and Jason after spending an hours visit with them prior to dropping him off. They are clearly dog (animal) people…… and took him into their home as one of theirs. What more could I ask for?”
“Scott continues to do an amazing job as a dog sitter for our dog Odysseus. Our dog has surgery and he is more anxious now. I was nervous about him staying someplace overnight again but we trust Scott and again he did not disappoint. He is so caring about animals in general. Shows so much compassion and love. Honestly, if you need a sitter or care in the area for your pets Scott is it! Thank you so much Scott!”
“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.”
“Lisa and her family was amazing and very affectionate with my furbaby. She sent periodic updates and pics. My dog was very well cared for by Lisa and her children. Her dog bear is adorable and playful. Ollie enjoyed his time with Bear and Lisa’s family. Thank you so much for making the process so easy. I would definately book again in a heartbeat and recommend you to anyone!”
“Very friendly and communicative. Sent photo updates. Very quick response time. Oakley seemed so happy to be there and got along with her family well. My dog had an uncharacteristic accident (pee) over night and Ana handled this without issue or frustration. She helped Oakleys settle in and feel comfortable so this didn’t happen again!”
“Gisselle and her family are the perfect family for our dogs to stay with while away from home!! They are loving, patient, attentive and absolutely spoiled our two Shetland Sheepdogs!! Gisselle sent photos as well as updates throughout the days we were away. The images showed my two pups comfortable, happy and having a blast playing the day away!! I could not be more grateful for her care in every way. Gisselle is my “go to family” now for all our dog care needs. She is the absolute best!!”
“I felt very confident leaving my elderly dog Blue with Paul. Paul gave him his medications and special concoction of food with no problem. He set Blue up for comfort and ease while I traveled, and sent me photos and updates for my peace of mind. I highly recommend Paul for your pet sitting needs!”
“My little girl, Faith had so much fun with Amy and her dog Reily! From the looks of the photos and videos she sent, I was afraid my dog wouldn’t want to leave. I am so thankful she took great care of my girl while I was away. It really does put your heart at ease knowing your pup is in good hands and you don’t have to worry. Thank you Amy!”
“I have a five-month-old puppy that Kevin kept overnight for me this past weekend. He sent me updates and pictures. Winchester came home very happy. I would definitely recommend Kevin for your pet sitting needs”
“Max arrived an earthquake in an eclipse while in her care. Everything went wonderfully. He's such a sweet dog and had such a good time with all the other dogs. Everything really well. We're so happy to have our little dog back in such good condition.”
“Jim provided excellent care for my pup. I really appreciated his availability when my previous boarding arrangements fell through at the last minute. My pup is a finicky eater and Jim kept me up to date on her feeding habits and asked permission to add tempting meat to her food to entice her. She loves to run at full speed, so his fenced property was ideal. Jim also communicated with me as well as provided plenty of photos during her stay and a video of her socializing at playtime. Thank you Jim!”
“Ivy took wonderful care of my energetic, large breed, 1 year old puppy. She sent TONS of photos and updates. He was so happy there- he hardly wanted to come home 🤣 Her dog is a great playmate for other pups, too. ❤️”
