“Noria continues to be the best pet sitter and dog walker we have had. Nala ( my dog) really loves her and I am comfortable going away and leaving my dog in her care knowing that Noria is very trustworthy, caring and reliable!”
“We have used Amy several times, she replies quickly and has been very pleasant and flexible to work with when dates had to be changed. She took great care of Shadow and sent photos. Shadow is happy to go back to Amy and have fun playing at with her pups.”
“Bryan and Jacquelyn took great care of our dog Lucy. They gave us daily updates and pictures. Lucy was allowed on their couch and bed and from the pictures felt like she was very comfortable and felt right at home. We would highly recommend commend them and will book them next time a need comes up for us and if they are available.”
“This was the first time Joey was staying at Tanvi’s place and he loved it. We were initially a bit worried, as this was a 14 day trip and Joey hadn’t stayed with any sitter for this long, but Joey had a blast. We got daily pictures and videos of Joey as well. I would highly recommend Tanvi.”
“We’re very happy with the care provided by this wonderful family! They took great care of our three dogs for three nights—sending regular updates, photos, and feedback every day. The dogs were comfortable and happy, and we could truly relax knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: Pet Care Experience I am a full time veterinary technician, and have 3 years of experience. Who knows dogs and cats better than someone who works with them? 😊🩷 I provide care for all kinds of cats and dogs, with all kinds of personalities. I understand their needs based on age, health, breed, and personality. Along with the Rover services I provide, I can also offer medical care such as subcutaneous fluids and/or medications at no extra cost. Your pet will have a safe, fun, and stress free experience in a comfortable environment. Since each pet is different, I personalize their care based on their needs, breed, personality, and comfort level. Boarding is my preferred service to offer. Selecting this option is discounted, and my availability is more flexible 🌸🌼 Schedule I work full time, so my boarding services are perfect for pets who are already used to a working household. This is also ideal for pets who are used to using a pee pad or litterbox, however they will still go on walks to get exercise and fresh air! While I am at work, pets will be safely secured in a comfortable and appropriate area of my home, and be well provided for. Before leaving for work, your pet will have: - Fresh food and water - Medications administered (if applicable) - Walks / Potty breaks / Cleaned litterbox / Fresh pee pads - Playtime and exercise Once I return home, your pet will receive more potty breaks, exercise, enrichment, affection, and any additional care they need. I board 7 days a week with pre-arranged drop off and pick up times. House Sitting I am available during the weekends starting Fridays after 7pm into Sundays, and on Holidays when my clinic is closed. On rotating Saturdays I do work a 6 hour shift, so your pet will be left alone for that period only, and I will return after. Drop Ins I am fully available for 3 drop in visits on Wednesdays, Saturdays (Before and after work) and Sundays. Environment I live in an apartment with two other responsible adults who are respectful of the pets in my care. While they may interact with your pet, their care is my sole responsibility. Your pet will be staying in my clean, secure, and spacious bedroom while having free access to roam between my room and another bedroom (provided your pet gets along with my dog) She is a 4 year old Yorkie and is very friendly and playful. Safety I always make sure to use the Double Door Rule and take precautions to prevent escape attempts. I also make sure your pet's living space is clean and free of any harmful objects, food, substances, and other unsafe conditions. During your pet's stay, my room is their room 🩷 Trust I provide full transparency and an open line of communication (while I am at work, responses may be slightly delayed, but I will always get back to you as soon as possible) You will receive regular updates throughout your pet’s stay, including photos and/or videos. If there are any changes in behavior, appetite, or health, you will be notified right away. To ensure the best care for your pet, all pets must be up to date with their rabies vaccine (as required by law) distemper, and bordatella vaccines. They must also be free of fleas, ticks, and contagious diseases The safety and comfort of your pet will always come first. If I believe a situation poses a risk to your pet, another animal, myself, or anyone else, I reserve the right to modify or discontinue service. In the event this happens, you will be notified and your emergency contact will be contacted.

About: With 6 years of hands-on dog ownership and experience caring for friends’ pups, I treat every pet like my own. Reliable, loving care guaranteed! Your pet will feel at home with me. With a hybrid work schedule and a 5-minute commute, I’m perfectly set up to give your pet the time and attention they deserve. On work-from-home days, your pet has my company all day. On office days, I’m close enough to pop home during breaks to check in and care for them. Whether I’m welcoming your pet into my home or visiting theirs, I prioritize their comfort and well-being above everything. I follow their existing routine to keep them settled, provide regular feeding, fresh water, walks, and plenty of playtime. I also send updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy and in safe hands.
“We are so happy we chose Tom to look after Fluffy. He was very professional and kept us posted with pictures. Fluffy is an anxious dog, but Tom made her feel right at home—even letting her sleep on the bed and hang out on the couch. He also let us do a meet-and-greet the day before, which was very helpful. We will definitely be booking with Tom again.”
“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.”
“Fantastic! My 10-month-old pup just finished his first stay. I received lots of photos several times throughout the weekend. The photos alone were worth the price! So many pictures of my happy guy. Nikki and Ricardo were quick to respond when I reached out to check in on him.”
About: I have been taking care of my own pet budgie. I have also taken care of my neighbor's pet turtle for over 8 times. They find me as responsible as I continue to take care of their pet when needed. At my parents house, I would take care of our dog like taking the dog on walks and feeding treats along with some playing. Everyday, I check if my pet is doing well. I make sure the food is filled and water is clean. I check these basic needs every day as well as playing with my pet. When I take care of my neighbor's turtle, I provide the given amount of food. I also play with it as I trace my finger along the glass. I make sure everything is fine with the turtle.
“Sayak went above and beyond of our expectations. Great sitter. Great communication, always stays in touch, sent pictures throughout the day. Rex had a wonderful time. We highly recommend him. We can’t thank him and his family enough and will definitely book him again. Thanks for everything.”
“Karma loved her stay and I feel it is her little vacation too. Know she is taken care of and spoiled. Always love seeing the pictures of her enjoying herself and updates daily.”

“Noelle was AMAZING. Communication was excellent, her knowledge of cats is great. She looked after my 2 cats for a week. One had some medical needs and she handled them like a pro. In her photos, I could see the cats were snuggling her and happy. What more could a cat mom ask for??”

Followed every instruction to the letter and went far and beyond her duties by bringing inside Amazon deliveries that arrived while we weren’t home. She sent us a full report plus pictures of our furry babies after every visit was completed.

“I always ask for lots of updates and Hadija never disappoints! She is so loving to my cat and keeps me informed on how he’s doing so I never have to guess or worry. My cat loves her too!”
“I was very hesitant to use rover for the first time but Michael was very kind and answered all of my questions. He really took the time to learn about my pups and make sure they were happy while I was away. They warmed up to him quickly and let out their crazy side. I felt like we were in constant contact so I knew my dogs were being well taken care of which really took a weight off my shoulders. He even went above and beyond by sweeping up the dog hair which with a Great Pyrenees at home really builds up fast. I am so happy with how everything went and will definitely be using Michael again in the future. It was truly a great experience and I can’t thank Michael enough he really did and amazing job!!!”
“Mallory was amazing with our 2 cats! They’re both shy but they took to her! Mallory went above and beyond and her communication made me feel comfortable while away! Thank you so much!!”

“Josephine’s first stay with Pardeep was seamless. Pardeep was very accommodating with my schedule and provided a safe, calm, enjoyable day for Jo. He kept me up to date on her as the day went on and that is always reassuring. His dogs were friendly and respectful which I greatly appreciate due to Josephine being a senior. I would gladly recommend him and will seek his care for Josephine again soon.”
About: I have had dogs in my life since I was a young child and have worked training puppies, poodle mixes, for the last two and a half years. I have had experience with oral medication and brushing poodle hair. I love taking dogs for walks and playing in the backyard. On hot days there is a doggy splash pad available for those who like water play as well as frozen pumpkin treats. I currently work mostly from home and will only be out for a few hours a couple of days so there will be plenty of time for walks and games. What better way to end the day than to relax on the couch! I have one goldendoodle to keep your fur baby company and though he is big, he is super gentle with the little dogs. I have a 4.5 foot tall chain link fence around our back yard. I have crates with dog beds for over night and during the day your dog will have access to our living spaces. Since I'm home most of the time, dogs can be outside/inside according to their preference. Please inform me of any quirks or dietary needs your dog may have. To protect your dog from overheating or hypothermia, walks will be limited when it's over 85°F or below 30°F.
“Kumud is an incredible dog sitter. She’s gone above and beyond to ensure that our high energy pup is cared for, exercised, and comfortable. Her yard is the ultimate playground and she always makes sure the dogs are playing nicely together. Her dog, Kai, is sweet and playful and welcomes others in. Kumud’s family is really sweet and I trust that Zoe is safe in their care. I highly recommend Kumud’s services.”
About: Experience helping raise puppy/younger dogs and training, also have experience with adult/senior foster dogs. Includes walking, bathing, trips to the dog park, feeding, training, treat/crate training I also looooove brushing dogs, the fluffier the better! I like to stay home on weekends with my senior dog Sapphire. Shes a rescue and very calm (she doesn’t bark) and absolutely loves other dogs! We love to take walks and play on the patio outside. I am pretty much free from Wednesday evenings-Saturday nights! Although I live in an apartment, I keep my living room and general space wide and accessible which is easier and less stressful for the dogs. I have a back patio we can play on (not black so the heat won’t hurt their paws), and have a park and yard across the street! I will give your pup lots of love and cuddles and they will definitely be a little spoiled! I also will feed them in a separate area from my dog but bring them back together to play :)
“Lupe is fantastic!! He is so good with our pup and we feel so grateful to have found him!! He is so friendly and welcoming. He goes above and beyond to make sure all of our dog’s needs are met. We had an emergency and he was super accommodating and made sure that our dog was in good hands. He has an awesome large yard that our dog loves to run in. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover offering a safe, caring, and comfortable home for your pet while you’re away. I have an 8-year-old friendly, well-mannered dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. My home features a large fenced yard where dogs can enjoy supervised playtime, outdoor breaks, and exercise in a secure environment.

Whether your dog loves to play, relax, cuddle, or simply stay close to people, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home. I understand that every dog is unique, and I’m especially patient with pets who need slower introductions, extra reassurance, or a structured routine. During your pet’s stay, I’ll send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. Whether you need daycare or overnight boarding, my goal is to provide a loving, stress-free experience for both you and your pet. I’d love to learn more about your dog and see if we’d be a great fit. Feel free to reach out with any questions! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I already have a friendly 8-year-old dog at home. I work with a flexible schedule, so your pet will receive regular potty breaks, playtime, supervision, walks, and lots of attention throughout the day.

I have a spacious yard for supervised outdoor play and a calm, pet-friendly home environment. My dog is gentle and well-socialized, and I introduce pets carefully to make sure everyone feels comfortable. I follow feeding schedules, provide plenty of attention, and can accommodate crate routines or special instructions if needed. I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while your pet is with me.

This has not stopped my love of dogs! I’d like to be a dog walker to have the opportunity to continue to spend time with dogs whenever possible! Fostering has given me experience with all kinds of pups - puppies (8 weeks+), small dogs, big dogs, shy dogs, playful dogs, … I work remotely and have a flex schedule. Able to accommodate different schedules, and willing to work with you based on what is most optimal for you and your pup! I have two dogs of my own (1 and 2) who love playing and would welcome guests. I very much understand the importance of keeping pups on a schedule, so will dutifully follow such plans.

About: I have been around dogs since my childhood. I had a German Shephard and a Pomeranian growing up who I used to walk, feed and play with.

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!

“Marc was so patient with Cloud! Cloud wanted to protect our house that day, but he eventually decided that Marc was not a threat & allowed him to take him for a walk! The true sign of Cloud trusting Marc was that he did zoomies when they were back from their walk. Thank you, Marc!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was six years old, and have had the pleasure of taking care of everything from dogs and cats to horses and chickens. I was a member of my counties 4-H for 13 years and competed nationally in events relating to pet care and knowledge. I have also been working on the side for different horse farms since I was 8 years old and have loved every minute of it! Currently I have my own cat and my family has a dog and two other lovely kitties. I’m a vegetarian who loves all animals, no matter what! I take care of every animal I encounter as if they were my own and make sure they know they are loved. On Sundays I spend a few hours volunteering at my local animal shelter as well :) I work a full time corporate office job so any opportunity to get outside is one that I look for. Since my commute from work is only 10 minutes, it makes getting around very easy. I treat my pets like people and always put their needs before my own. I pride myself on organization and cleanliness as well as my ability to retain a lot of detail

I have a dog and 3 cats of my own and would love the opportunity to care for your pets as if they were my own! I can care for all sizes of dogs, cats, and other pets. I'm able to medicate, administer insulin or other injections, or anything medical. I'm very good with scared or unsure pets and have a knack for helping them feel more comfortable. I'm happy to spend time with the pets, walking them, playing with them, or just spending time petting them. I have loved and cared for animals since I was young and am hoping to have the opportunity to care for yours as well! I work from home and can be flexible with drops in and walks. I am also free all weekend! I can do drops ins, walks, overnights or medication administration. I will always make sure to follow your preferred schedule and make sure to take care of all needs you have for your pet! We can walk, play, snuggle, whatever they prefer!
About: I love animals so much I wanted to become a vet when I was a child. I instead chose to work with humans and equally love my career as a teacher. I am off all summer, so I am looking to not only earn a little extra money, but also keep your furbaby company while you are away. I am currently 7 months pregnant, so we are being strict on size and age of who we will sit. We limit the size we watch to 25 pounds and we won't watch any new clients younger than 5. Zach (my husband) and I have 3 of our own small dogs and boarding with us would be a great option! We have a fenced in yard and even a lure course to keep your baby entertained in the backyard. Our home has a doggy door, so they have full range of outside when they need to do their business, making potty training even easier! I am cat and dog CPR/first aid certified through American Red Cross. I am currently working part-time teaching summer school and coaching the summer robotics team. My husband works full time from home, so your pup will get a lot of attention. We have a fenced in yard to keep your fur baby safe during their stay. This also allows plenty of exercise. We have 3 of our own small pups, one who loves playing and running around, one who loves sleeping, and one who loves fetch to keep yours company, no matter their personality.
About: Dogs have been apart of my life since I was 10 years old when we got our little guy Sputnik. After High School, I attended The Morris County School of Technology where I graduated from its Veterinary Medicine course that vastly expanded my knowledge on interpreting dog behavior, action steps in an emergency, and markers for potential medical complications. After that, I worked at two different esteemed dog daycare and boarding facilities for a total of 3 years. During this time I was able to put what I learned into practice with a variety of different situations and a variety of different dogs all ranging in size, age, and temperament. This experience not only taught me technical skills, but also the philosophy I now use for pet care. Each dog is unique, and what works for one might not be effective for another. It is with this in mind, that I strive to find the approach that works best for your dog. As a dog owner myself I understand that they are so much more than just pets, they are furry members of our families. This notion is important in conveying the gravity of entrusting the care of your four legged family to another. With all this in mind, I hope you will consider my services so I can get to know both you and your furry friend(s). Currently my schedule is very open, with only a few select dates throughout the summer where I will be unavailable. I am currently enrolled in two summer college courses that will end around mid-August. Both are virtually however, so there is no class meeting so they will impact my ability to pet care very minimally. I am a full-time student, so at the end of August I resume a full-course load at college and my schedule will be restricted; but, I should still be able to accommodate when necessary. My dog is small senior pup(11 years old), so managing his comfort and administration of his medication on time and schedule are the most important aspects of his care at this point in his life. I also live on a dead-end where he is able to roam fairly freely until he is tired. While this is what works for my dog, it might not be what works for yours. Through talking with you and getting to know your dog, we will be able to come up with a plan/schedule that works best for them!
About: Animals have always been at the center of my life. I share my home with four cats (three traveled with me from Ukraine and one rescued from Houston) and a Bernese Mountain Dog who’s training to become a certified therapy dog. I work remotely, so I’m home all day and able to give pets constant attention. Before moving to the U.S., I co-founded an adoption center in Ukraine dedicated to rescuing and rehoming critically ill stray cats. I’ve completed multiple courses in animal behavior and publish freelance articles about the latest research in pet care. My dog has completed four manners courses and holds all his certificates, and I create human-grade treats in a professional dehydrator (and planning to start a business), so my furry guests are welcome to sample them if they have no allergies. We have a spacious home with a fenced yard, two guest rooms to separate our furry guests if needed, and a pool for supervised dog play. I work remotely only a few hours a day, so I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I’m also very physically active, ensuring your furry friend will never be bored. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment and keep routines consistent to reduce stress. In my home or yours, I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, maintain secure doors and gates, and use positive reinforcement for safe play.

About: I own a 4 year old dog of my own. Worked at a puppy boutique caring, walking, feeding, participating in vet nights & grooming/bathing young puppies. i have dog sat a lot of family & friends dogs. I am currently working part-time so can be flexible. I am able to do drop ins, but also walking and pet-sitting. I love dogs so it is a privilege to spend time with them!

About: Fostering through Cold Nose Warm Heart NJ allowed me to fulfill my passion for working with dogs, but unfortunately I am no longer able to keep pets at the house. This has not stopped my love of dogs! I’d like to be a dog walker to have the opportunity to continue to spend time with dogs whenever possible! Fostering has given me experience with all kinds of pups - puppies (8 weeks+), small dogs, big dogs, shy dogs, playful dogs, … I work remotely and have a flex schedule. Able to accommodate different schedules, and willing to work with you based on what is most optimal for you and your pup! I have two dogs of my own (1 and 2) who love playing and would welcome guests. I very much understand the importance of keeping pups on a schedule, so will dutifully follow such plans.
“I left my dog with Lineth for the first time, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. She followed Cosmo’s routine perfectly and treated him with so much love and attention that I felt completely at ease. It’s not always easy to leave your pet, but knowing he was in such good hands made all the difference. Moving forward, she will definitely be my first choice for Cosmo. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their dog! Thanks 🙏”
“Isbath was great with my dog. Precious is highly skittish and tends to have a hard time adapting to new environments, but she was fantastic with Isbath. She ate, played, walked and had no problem sleeping through the night while in her care. I got numerous updates, pictures, and videos, of my dog being her relaxed and playful self. She always looked so happy and content. Would highly recommend Isbath and will most definitely be using her again. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my little one!”
