“This was our trial run overnight stay for a longer stay we have coming up. Chris lives in a lovely area with a nice little fenced yard for the dogs to play and do their business. He has a cute smaller female mixed breed of his own. Our Finley over other dogs and had good playtime with her. I like that Chris only takes one doggie client at a time so that I know Finley will get the attention and care that he needs. Based on our successful overnight I am going to book Chris for our long trip. I don’t like making recommendations after only one overnight but I am confident that I will be doing just that after his next stay.”
“We recently had the pleasure of having Nicolas care for our beloved dog, Mazzie, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From start to finish, it was clear that our pup was in great hands. Mazzie went on long walks, had incredible play time with their dog Sinatra, and we received tons of wonderful pictures, making our time away. It was evident that they were genuinely passionate about animals, and Mazzie was instantly comfortable, which gave us such peace of mind. Overall, we couldn’t recommend this pet sitter highly enough. They treated Mazzie as if she were their own, and we will definitely be using them again in the future. If you’re looking for reliable, compassionate, and attentive care for your furry family member, look no further!”

“Carla was a wonderful host for Smokey, instead of coming home stressed out from the kennel (cage), he came home happy & clearly well taken care of!!! Ty so much Carla! James & Smokey Bear”
“I had such a great experience with Steven and his family! From the very beginning, they were warm, welcoming, and professional, which immediately put me at ease about leaving my dog in their care. My pup felt comfortable with them right away, and I could tell how much they truly love and understand animals. They provided excellent overnight care, kept me updated, and made sure my dog was happy, safe, and well cared for. I came home to a relaxed and content pup, which says it all! I highly recommend Steven to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I’ll definitely be using them again in the future.”
“Aleja T. Is a great person to watch our dog, it’s a third time we left our pug with her. She provided us with pictures and updates every day. Our dog always looked happy when in Aleja care. Any one who will pick her to taking care of his/her pet will be very satisfy. Thank you Aleja! You are the best!”
“Sujanna was great to Sidney and great to work with!! She sent multiple updates and pictures every day. I could tell that Sidney was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Sujanna as a dog sitter and look forward to using her again.”

I ran into a bit of an issue with my painter needing more days and Lin immediately stepped up and offered to keep Peri another two days. What a lifesaver ! She’s wonderful and sweet. Do not hesitate to leave your babies with her. They’ll be loved 🥰”
“Debra is so awesome, made our pup feel right at home! We will definitely be using her again in the future when we go out of town. Our pup even slept on their bed like he does at home.??”
“Gabriela took such amazing care of our dog this weekend. She kept us up to date with plenty of pictures and updates the entire time she had Hope. Can’t wait till out next visit to her and her amazing family. Highly recommended sitter. Would absolutely rebook the next time we need someone to take care of Hope. Wonderful sitter and took simply the best care of our dog while we were away.”
“Michele is a wonderful sitter! I’ve used her several times to watch my dog, and each experience has been smooth and completely hassle-free. She’s very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and always willing to work with my schedule. She carefully follows all of my instructions and consistently sends pictures and updates throughout the day without me even having to ask, which gives me great peace of mind. I always feel reassured leaving my dog in her care, and I’ll definitely continue booking with her in the future.”
“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.”
“Christina was awesome! She took care of Meeko like one of her own and I’m so appreciative of that. She kept me updated throughout his stay and sent us pictures. He will definitely be back to hangout with Bentley and Dixen!”
“This was the first time our 2 girls Juniper and Honey have ever stayed overnight anywhere since we rescued them 5 years ago. We felt confident having Carolina watching our girls. Prior to their stay we did a meet and greet. Carolina has a very calm demeanor, and we were very confident that the girls would be comfortable in her home. She sent us pictures and gave us updates of how they were doing, which was nice. When we picked them up they were very happy, so we'll definitely be using her services again.”
“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!”

“It’s always nerve racking leaving your pets in someone else’s care. After a meet and Greet with Jennifer, we felt confident. We were updated with our three dogs status, she walked them all, and took good care of them. The pictures showed they were happy and we were too. We thank you Jennifer and will be using you again in the future for sure! We appreciate you being someone to rely on and trust!”
“Once again, Jill took excellent care of our sweet boy Benny. She continues to amaze us on how she can instantly bond with Benny and get him out from hiding for purrs, pets and playtime. We are so grateful that we found Jill and will continue hiring her and highly recommending her! She has such a great passion for animals and it clearly shows. Thank you Jill for taking such good care of Benny and truly allowing us to feel comfortable being away from him. You are Fantastic!!!”
“Alissa did a wonderful job of taking care of our cat. She kept us updated on him daily, with photos. She was diligent with keeping everything clean as well. We will be asking for her to come back again very soon. I highly recommend.”
About: I am a lifelong pet owner, having been raised surrounded by animals. That being said, I always helped to take care of our pets since I was a young kid. Dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, snails, crabs; you name it, I've raised it. I love animals and love to care for them. I am empathetic, hardworking, and caring. I would love to be of service to anyone who may need me. I have also petsit for others privately for pay before this, so I have proper experience as well beyond my personal life.
“Cheyenne was awesome! She came by every day we were away consistently and I felt our cats were so well cared for. They were happy and calm when we got back and she gave us great updates daily.”
“Tammie was an absolute lifesaver while I was on vacation! She came three times a day to care for my cat, including administering oral medication, which can be a challenge—but she handled it with total professionalism and care. She was always on time, incredibly communicative, and sent regular updates that really helped me relax while I was away. When our flight was unexpectedly delayed, she didn’t hesitate to make additional last-minute visits to make sure my cat was safe and comfortable. Her flexibility and dedication truly went above and beyond. It’s such a relief to know my pet is in such capable and compassionate hands. I will 100% be booking with Tammie again and can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“In a single phrase, Cheyenne was "PERFECTLY AWESOME"!!! She was not only prompt, but also caring and attentive to my dog's needs. And, Cheyenne was especially affectionate toward Lilly, which Lilly certainly enjoyed. Too bad there was only five stars to be given! I will DEFINITELY want to book Cheyenne in the future!”
“Madison was excellent with my cats! I loved the photos everyday and consistency with their care! She made sure to understand their routine and make it feel like I never left! I’ll absolutely be booking her again”

About: We offer loving and compassionate dog boarding or drop-ins and cat drop-ins. Dog boarding is at our home with a large, fenced-in yard and plenty of room to play and roam around. We never take more than one dog guest at a time and take extra special care of your pet while you are gone, including walks and cuddles. My husband and I have been taking care of dogs and cats a combined 30 years and have both had dogs since childhood. I lived with dogs (2 Jack Russel Terriers and a black Lab) for over 20 years and have had my own cats for the past 10 years. I know how to walk, bathe and feed. BONUS THAT REALLY SETS ME APART FROM OTHERS 😅: I am a pet intuitive and add Reiki for pets into my services if it's wanted.

About: My husband and I have lived in Lake Mohawk for 11 years. We have 4 wonderful children, all of which love animals. In addition to our children, we have a wonderfully trained male Shi-a-Poo named Toby. He is going on 13 years old. We have raised him since a puppy. Toby also loves to play with other dogs, however he's getting pretty lazy in his old doggie days. He enjoys laying and cuddling most of the day. Our children, on the other hand, love running around, playing fetch and taking Toby for walks...Toby would love to share the wealth! We live on a quiet street in a great neighborhood located in Lake Mohawk. We have a fenced in back yard where your dog can run around and play as much or as little as he/she wants! We will provide the best care for your best friend when you are not able, with lots of love and attention. Both my husband and I grew up with dogs, and when I was a teenager, I raised a dog for the Seeing Eye. I am a stay-at-home mom.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and animals my whole life, so caring for them feels very natural to me. I was raised with Springer Spaniels and have hands-on experience with walks, feeding, playtime, administering medication, and bathing. I genuinely love being around animals and am very intuitive to their needs and energy. Whether your pet is playful and active or more calm and sensitive, I meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while adapting to their routine. I treat every animal like they’re my own and always aim to create a calm, loving environment while you’re away. I work from home doing marketing for small businesses, so my days are naturally calm, flexible, and centered around being present. This allows me to give pets lots of attention, walks, and a consistent routine throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy creating a peaceful, comforting environment whether that means playtime, getting outside, or just relaxing together! On Fridays, I work at a local herbal apothecary from 12–6pm (until it closes on April 20th), and on Saturdays I’m at a bakery from 10–2pm. On those days, I’m still available mornings and evenings for walks, feeding, and quality time. I’m very mindful of keeping each pet’s routine steady so they feel safe, at ease, and cared for. Creating a safe, calm, and trusting environment is always my top priority. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can care for them in a way that feels familiar and comfortable. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of your space and stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule such as feeding, walks, medication, and overall routine. I pay close attention to their behavior and energy so I can respond to their needs in a thoughtful, attentive way. If caring for pets in my home, I maintain a clean, peaceful environment with lots of supervision and care. I have a side yard for fresh air and easy walks, and I also love taking dogs out for a change of scenery whether that’s a car ride to a nearby park or a walk along the path at Lake Hopatcong across the street from my apartment! Safety is always top of mind, from secure spaces to attentive handling during walks and outdoor time. I’m also very communicative and happy to send photo and video updates so you feel connected and at ease while you’re away :)
About: I am a lifelong animal lover, highly experienced with “escape artists”. I only look after pets from a single household and I work from home so your pet(s) will have all the attention they need and deserve. I have experience with dogs, both young and old. Whether they need medication or potty pads, I’ve got it handled! I live in a quiet subdivision that makes for great walks, and I have a fenced in yard. NO pets are unsupervised at any time outside. I take great pride in the fact you can rest easy and know your pet is in great care! I work from home and my schedule is relative flexible. I have time to take dogs out 3 times a day (or more if required). This also allows me to get some play time in throughout the day. I do not make commitments to others when I am watching your pets, so they will always have supervision I have a fenced in yard and I live in a quiet subdivision. I have a small friendly dog that likes to keep to herself (cat friendly as well). And I have large and medium crates, if your pets prefers to sleep in one as well as plenty of space if you prefer to provide your own.
About: Hello there! 👋 I have been involved with my parents two pups for the past 8 years. I’ve watched them grow since they were 3mo. old and have experienced caring for post-op injury (double knee reconstruction) on one, and a mast cell tumor removal/chemotherapy/radiation treatment on the other. This has required taking care of bandage changes, feedings, bathroom breaks with a sling, many cuddles, etc. I have since added 4 additional dogs to my care along with 1 feline friend! *Please Note: 20% of earnings is taken by Rover - prices have been slightly increased to accommodate for this and increased expenses. THANK YOU for your understanding!!* NEW! Doggy Daycare: For ALL daycare/boarding clients, all dogs must be up to date on their vaccines. This includes: -Rabies -Bordetella -Canine Influenza (recommended but not required) *Proof of vaccinations will be required prior to drop-off.
“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.”
About: Your dog deserves more than just a hard kennel where countless others have stressed and panted awaiting someone to unlock the cage and let them out for a potty break - they deserve someone who genuinely cares for them and their comfort. Whether you need a midday walk, a quick check-in, or a cozy overnight stay while you're away, your pup will be in caring, attentive hands every step of the way. I am an experienced foster for ACDRA (Australian Cattle Dog Rescue), I have had the joy of loving dogs my entire life, and raised 8 of my own in adulthood. I will treat your dog like my own and do my best to keep them comfortable and stress levels down while you are away. Expect plenty of cuddles, outdoor adventures, and real-time updates so you never have to worry about how they're doing. I'm available 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays, for drop-ins, dog walks, boarding in my home or overnight stays in your home. I have a one acre yard that is not fenced. I walk dogs on a leash or put them out for quick potty breaks on a run out my back door. I have a gated deck for sun bathing, pool time and fresh air. Inside, I believe in slow introductions with resident pets. I have a gated living room where your pet will stay while my two dog-friendly dogs get to know them. If all introductions go smoothly, they may eventually get some dog play time, but I do know how to read dog body language and will not move forward if anyone seems uncomfortable. As a dog foster, I have introduced many dogs into my home successfully!

Dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, snails, crabs; you name it, I've raised it. I love animals and love to care for them.

I have experience with free-roaming pets of all kinds, as well as cage-training and homes with limited areas the animal is meant to stay in, so I have no trouble remembering these things. I can send regular updates if requested, including photos!

If Alissa is the standard of the type of people that will care for my dog, I would use this service again, without a doubt. And, I wouldn't hesitate in booking Alissa, and recommending her to everyone.”

My home has a fenced yard that my dogs have easy access to through a doggy door, if your dog isn’t comfortable with using a doggy door, I can always bring him/her out through the door.

I work from home doing marketing for small businesses, so my days are naturally calm, flexible, and centered around being present. This allows me to give pets lots of attention, walks, and a consistent routine throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy creating a peaceful, comforting environment whether that means playtime, getting outside, or just relaxing together! On Fridays, I work at a local herbal apothecary from 12–6pm (until it closes on April 20th), and on Saturdays I’m at a bakery from 10–2pm. On those days, I’m still available mornings and evenings for walks, feeding, and quality time. I’m very mindful of keeping each pet’s routine steady so they feel safe, at ease, and cared for. Creating a safe, calm, and trusting environment is always my top priority. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can care for them in a way that feels familiar and comfortable. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of your space and stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule such as feeding, walks, medication, and overall routine. I pay close attention to their behavior and energy so I can respond to their needs in a thoughtful, attentive way. If caring for pets in my home, I maintain a clean, peaceful environment with lots of supervision and care. I have a side yard for fresh air and easy walks, and I also love taking dogs out for a change of scenery whether that’s a car ride to a nearby park or a walk along the path at Lake Hopatcong across the street from my apartment! Safety is always top of mind, from secure spaces to attentive handling during walks and outdoor time. I’m also very communicative and happy to send photo and video updates so you feel connected and at ease while you’re away :)
About: Experienced pet sitter and animal lover. I've worked in animal rescue, done trap-neuter-release, cared for a colony of feral cats for a decade, and fostered more kittens and adult cats than I can count. I offer visits, walks, overnight stays, or I can live at your house while you are away. I am a nature and wildlife photographer so I have gotten to know, to one degree or the other, all of the animals around my home, which, I believe, helps to make me comfortable with all types of pets. I also offer pet portraits! I have experience with all of the usual pets, plus a few unusual ones too. I will take good care of your dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, reptiles, small animals and even tarantulas or insects. I will treat your pets as if they were my own and I will let you know how the visits are going. Your pets will be safe and well cared for with me. I have a regular part time job with a flexible schedule so can be available just about anytime. Let me know what you need and we can work it out. Home visits run about a 1/2 an hour and include, depending upon your pet, a walk, poop scoop, litter box cleaning, feeding, watering and treat dispensing, and pats and cuddles.

About: Hi! I’m a passionate and caring dog sitter. I have always had a love for dogs. I am an experienced dog owner of 4 dogs and many others in my life. I have trained puppies and have taken care of senior dogs. I am able to provide daily drop in care, walks, playtime, and feeding. I am currently working part time so I have a very open and flexible schedule. I am pretty much open to any day of the week. I will follow all requests from dog owner and make sure to satisfy all dogs needs and keep them on a routine, active, and happy.
About: I am a lifelong animal lover, highly experienced with “escape artists”. I only look after pets from a single household and I work from home so your pet(s) will have all the attention they need and deserve. I have experience with dogs, both young and old. Whether they need medication or potty pads, I’ve got it handled! I live in a quiet subdivision that makes for great walks, and I have a fenced in yard. NO pets are unsupervised at any time outside. I take great pride in the fact you can rest easy and know your pet is in great care! I work from home and my schedule is relative flexible. I have time to take dogs out 3 times a day (or more if required). This also allows me to get some play time in throughout the day. I do not make commitments to others when I am watching your pets, so they will always have supervision I have a fenced in yard and I live in a quiet subdivision. I have a small friendly dog that likes to keep to herself (cat friendly as well). And I have large and medium crates, if your pets prefers to sleep in one as well as plenty of space if you prefer to provide your own.

“This was our trial run overnight stay for a longer stay we have coming up. Chris lives in a lovely area with a nice little fenced yard for the dogs to play and do their business. He has a cute smaller female mixed breed of his own. Our Finley over other dogs and had good playtime with her. I like that Chris only takes one doggie client at a time so that I know Finley will get the attention and care that he needs. Based on our successful overnight I am going to book Chris for our long trip. I don’t like making recommendations after only one overnight but I am confident that I will be doing just that after his next stay.”
“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”
“Carla was a wonderful host for Smokey, instead of coming home stressed out from the kennel (cage), he came home happy & clearly well taken care of!!! Ty so much Carla! James & Smokey Bear”
“Lin was amazing with Peri. He was very happy in all the photos and videos I received! They spent a lot of time together walking and playing. I ran into a bit of an issue with my painter needing more days and Lin immediately stepped up and offered to keep Peri another two days. What a lifesaver ! She’s wonderful and sweet. Do not hesitate to leave your babies with her. They’ll be loved 🥰”
“Debra is so awesome, made our pup feel right at home! We will definitely be using her again in the future when we go out of town. Our pup even slept on their bed like he does at home.??”
“Gabriela took such amazing care of our dog this weekend. She kept us up to date with plenty of pictures and updates the entire time she had Hope. Can’t wait till out next visit to her and her amazing family. Highly recommended sitter. Would absolutely rebook the next time we need someone to take care of Hope. Wonderful sitter and took simply the best care of our dog while we were away.”
“Michele is a wonderful sitter! I’ve used her several times to watch my dog, and each experience has been smooth and completely hassle-free. She’s very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and always willing to work with my schedule. She carefully follows all of my instructions and consistently sends pictures and updates throughout the day without me even having to ask, which gives me great peace of mind. I always feel reassured leaving my dog in her care, and I’ll definitely continue booking with her in the future.”
“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.”
“Christina was awesome! She took care of Meeko like one of her own and I’m so appreciative of that. She kept me updated throughout his stay and sent us pictures. He will definitely be back to hangout with Bentley and Dixen!”
“This was the first time our 2 girls Juniper and Honey have ever stayed overnight anywhere since we rescued them 5 years ago. We felt confident having Carolina watching our girls. Prior to their stay we did a meet and greet. Carolina has a very calm demeanor, and we were very confident that the girls would be comfortable in her home. She sent us pictures and gave us updates of how they were doing, which was nice. When we picked them up they were very happy, so we'll definitely be using her services again.”

“Kamini, her family, and Pia are fantastic. Our dog stayed overnight and I received frequent updates (the right amount), lots of pictures, and great communication!! Even with this being the first time he stayed with them, I was comfortable and confident he was being treated as their own. He got along great with Pia, and we would definitely use Kamini again in the future. Highly recommend. 5 stars!”
“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!!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and animals my whole life, so caring for them feels very natural to me. I was raised with Springer Spaniels and have hands-on experience with walks, feeding, playtime, administering medication, and bathing.

“Paul is excellent! Dunley is a 5-year-old lab/cattle dog with high energy. Paul made sure Dunley got enough exercise, walks, and plenty of fetch. He came back happy. I will definitely use Paul again!”
“Grateful to Morgan for taking Kody on such short notice when we unexpectedly needed to leave town. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with, which gave us peace of mind. Kody clearly loved his stay, was well cared for, and even made some new friends. We truly appreciate the great care and would absolutely book with Morgan again.”
