“Amanda and her family were amazing with Hudson. He seemed to have a great time and we would def love use her again when we are in the NJ area. She sent updates with pictures/videos every day which was very nice. Thank you so much Amanda!!”
“Darien was an amazing help with AJ. She took great care of him and provided me with pictures and videos everyday. You can tell she enjoys what she does. She is professional and makes sure she understands how to care for your dog. I liked the fact that she had a call with me to get to know who AJ was. This meant a lot as I knew she wanted to make sure he had a great time. I will definitely use her again. I trust her with my pet. She groomed AJ and he smelt soooooo good.”
“Teresa is so sweet and kind. You can tell she really loves animals. Kuma had a great time with her and he’s someone that takes a while to warm up other people. It probably helped that her own dogs are so welcoming as well. I highly recommend.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was so happy with Maisha. She was so great with Charlie and kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout the time Charlie was with her. She was very attentive and Charlie had a great time staying with her.”
“Yuberkis was a great babysitter for my 1 year old Yorkipoo! She sent daily updates and made sure Loki was fed, went out, and was overall taken care of. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“We are so pleased with the care our dog received while staying with Laura and Daniel. They treated our dog with kindness and compassion. We are beyond grateful for your wonderful service. Thank you.”
“Danielle and Jason were amazing hosts for Onyx! 🐶 Danielle sent me daily photo updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. They’re such warm, personable people who clearly adore dogs and treat them like family. Onyx was so happy and comfortable the whole time. I’ll definitely be booking with them again! 🤗”
“Maggie enjoyed her stay with Carolina! I felt very comfortable leaving Maggie there. I received updates and pictures during her stay. She also enjoyed playing with her dog Daisy! I will definitely be using Carolina again! Thank you so much Carolina for taking such good care of Maggie during her stay!”
“Archie had such a good time! She was the perfect dog sitter for him and made us feel so comfortable right from the start. If you’re nervous about leaving your pup, don’t be :)”
“I am so happy to have found Jenny and Geoff! They took wonderful care of my 75-lb dog, Sawyer. After checking to make sure that he’d enjoy it, they gave him lots of play time with their kids and other dogs and treated him to multiple trips to the dog park. He started to show signs of an ear infection the day before I had to drop him off, and they were so kind about cleaning his ears twice a day. And they sent me daily photos and videos of him playing and cuddling. I was pretty sure that he wouldn’t want to come home again! Highly recommend!!”
“Jaina was amazing with coco sent us daily updates. Coco came home happy 🙂. Jaina accommodated our last minute request to have coco before our vacation which gave us relief that coco was in great hands. Thank you we look forward to sending coco.”
“Jia took great care of our cat while we were away for a week. She made sure he was comfortable and entertained. He seems to have had a good time! We also got daily updates. We’d highly recommend Jia as a cat sitter.”
“Marcy was absolutely amazing with our pup Chewie! He was so so so loved by her entire family and she sent us amazing pictures and videos the entire time we were away! Thank you so much for taking care of our pup, we have definitely found our new sitter and hope you’ll have Chewie back in your home!”
“Here's a shorter version: --- I recently booked Angela for two nights, and I'm thrilled with the care my dog received. Angela provided regular updates with photos and videos, ensuring my peace of mind. My shy dog quickly warmed up to them, and all his dietary and exercise needs were perfectly met. I came home to a happy pup and a tidy house. Highly recommend Angela for reliable and loving pet care.”
“Jenny was great with our dig, Riley. She asked lots of smart questions to be sure Riley was getting the best care and staying on his routine. She sent photos and was very accommodating when out flight delay resulted in a later than expected pick up. I highly recommend Jenny and will certainly call on her again.”

“Katie was a wonderful cat sitter! Our two girls were obviously well taken care of and loved! Previously when we would leave them we'd get a bit of the cold shoulder when we got home because they were mad at us for leaving, but not this time so obviously they really enjoyed spending time with Katie and her fiance. We got pictures every day, she was easy to communicate with and very reliable. We'll definitely ask Katie to come back again next time we're out of town!”
“I had a great experience with Deb. She was incredibly detail-oriented and thoughtful throughout the entire time I was away. She made sure to send plenty of updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing everything was going well. On top of that, she was very considerate of my space and even kept the house cleaner than when I left it. I really appreciated the care she put into both my pet and my home. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive sitter.”
“Kyra already looks after our dogs with walks. Now Kyra has met our two cats as well. Kyra is reliable and does a great job. We've just come home and the cats are chilled and their usual selves. Thanks Kyra.”
“Melissa was so sweet to our cat Hazel whom immediately took to her. Our road flooded and was closed due to a downed tree and she still came to feed her! I literally can't imagine someone nicer and more responsible.”
“Jonathan is the best. We have an older, extremely shy cat, who also has health issues. Two days before our trip we needed someone to watch her. We contacted Rover and he responded within 1/2 hour and that day he came over to meet us and Phoebe the cat. He came by every day and sent us video reports. I would highly recommend him. Phoebe was very happy too!!! Many thanks to him for caring so much for a little fur baby”
“Stephanie was great. I’d rebook her anytime. She was very conscientious with a very social cat, and a very timid cat. She did a great job, cleaned the cat dishes, and the litter.”
“Jonny was amazing! My cat Oliver has congenital heart failure and requires pills twice a day. Oliver warmed up to Jonny very quickly. Jonny was flexible and easy to communicate with. He was happy to send me updates and adjust the schedule as needed. During the time that Jonny was helping me with my cats, my other cat Elio developed a UTI. Jonny was able to easily help me with her night medication. Knowing he would be there at night for my cats while I was working, made me feel a lot better. Thank you for everything! I would definitely recommend Jonny and will be contacting him in the future!!”
“I was hesitant to use a new dog walker, but my experience with Natalie was very assuring and she was fantastic with my dog King! She was friendly, always on time for the walks, professional and very responsible. I feel so relieved now that I found another great Dog Walker. I highly recommend Natalie and look forward to using her in the future.”
“Tracy and Steven were awesome—our pets were clearly in great hands. They really took the time to bond with them, playing with our dog and giving lots of attention and cuddles to our cats. They showed up three times a day like clockwork and even grabbed a couple packages from the front door, which we really appreciated. The updates and photos after each visit were thoughtful and reassuring. It made a big difference not having to worry about our animal children while we were away. We’d definitely book them again.”
“Zian is a very friendly, personable and responsive cat-sitter. He took very good care of my two cats while I was away over the weekend. Thanks for helping us out Zian!”
“Thomas was great! He is an excellent communicator and was great with my cats despite their frosty attitudes in the beginning. Will definitely be rebooking him. Thank you Thomas 🙏🏼”

“First time using the Rover App and have someone take care of my babies, an anxious experience but Hira gave me so much reassurance.

During my two week trip she sent me tons of pictures and videos of my cats appearing very happy and pleased. I would 10000% recommend her and would definitely go to her again for any future trips!!”
About: I've been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for dogs at every stage. From energetic puppies who need patience and structure, to adolescent dogs learning good habits, to our sweet senior dogs who benefit from a slower pace and extra attention. I also have experience volunteering with animal shelters, which taught me how to work with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and anxiety levels. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet as an individual. Some dogs want an adventure buddy, some want a cuddle companion, and others just need a calm, reliable presence while their owners are away. I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and quirks so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. As a high school teacher, I'm patient, responsible, and highly communicative. I'll treat your pet like a member of my own family and am happy to keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I'm a teacher on summer break with flexible hours. I understand our furry friends don't always live by the same schedule we do, and am happy to provide them with the midday walks/socialization they need so you can come home to a happy pet. I'm happy to provide care in your home, secure yard, or neighborhood where your pet is most comfortable. Care in my home involves comfy couch access, walks on streets with sidewalks, and plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I strive to maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. Safety is my top priority, so I always use secure leashes and harnesses during walks, closely supervise outdoor time, and make sure pets have a calm, clean, and comfortable environment. Upon request, I am happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.
About: 📝 About me: Hi! I’m Caitlin, a full-time educator and experienced dog owner and foster based in downtown Montclair. I’ve spent many years caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments — both personally and through rescue work. I regularly foster and have hands-on experience with: 🐾 Puppies and senior dogs 🐾 Frenchies, Boxers, German Shepherds, Shiba Inus, and more 🐾 Medically fragile dogs (including IVDD, allergies, and gastrointestinal needs) 🐾 Medication administration 🐾 Leash reactivity and behavioral needs I understand that every dog is different, and I take a calm, structured approach to help them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. While I’m new to Rover, I bring over a decade of hands-on experience with dog ownership and fostering, including medically complex and behaviorally sensitive dogs. I maintain relationships with many of my fosters’ adoptive families and often pet sit for them when they travel. I’m happy to provide references upon request. 🏡 Your dog will be treated like part of the family in a clean, safe, and supervised home: -Supervised care (I have cameras in my apartment for added safety when I’m away from home) -Multiple daily walks + enrichment opportunities -Clean, comfortable indoor environment (dogs have access to all furniture and fluffy surfaces) -Consistent routines to reduce stress -Plenty of updates, photos, and communication My dog, Georgia, is friendly, social, and enjoys the company of other dogs. I always prioritize safe, appropriate introductions to ensure a good fit. 💊 Special skills: -Medication administration (oral, topical, etc.) -Experience with IVDD and mobility considerations (I have ramps for furniture) -Allergy-sensitive care (diet/environment awareness, bathing, ear care, etc.) -Handling anxious or leash reactive dogs -Rescue/foster transition support 📅 Availability: -Weekends… boarding, walks, and drop-ins -August… full availability for boarding and extended stays I work full-time outside of the home, but maintain a consistent routine with my dog, Georgia, including hour-long walks each morning and evening. During the day, she is cared for by a long-time, trusted dog walker. On weekends, I love taking her on hikes, beach trips, and other outdoor adventures. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding on weekends and during school holidays. I’m also off for the entire month of August, when I can accommodate longer stays and provide more flexible, full-time care. Safety is always my top priority. I provide a calm, structured environment and closely supervise all dogs in my care. My home is dog-friendly, and I’m mindful about introductions, routines, and each dog’s individual needs. I have extensive experience with a wide range of dogs, including puppies, seniors, medically fragile dogs, and those with leash reactivity or special dietary needs. I’m comfortable administering medications and managing allergies. For boarding, I do not leave dogs unattended for long periods, and I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing. I also have cameras in my home for added peace of mind.
“Kelly is the absolute best. This was our first time on Rover, and her communications were clear and quick, and she did great work reassuring us that our pup was in good hands. Loved the photographs, and really appreciated the time she took to communicate with us by phone and by text. We’re only slightly concerned that our pup now likes her more than us! 😀 Hugely impressed with Kelly - she’ll take fab care of your pups.”
“Brad was very responsive to a last minute request to let my dogs out when I couldn’t get back home in time to feed them. He fed them and let them out and hung out with them for awhile.”

“My girls had so much fun that when we started driving away, she began winning! Tracy and Steven were very welcoming and treated her like family. They sent pictures all day and kept in touch effectively. I'm definitely grateful to them. I will book again, and you should too! Thank you again Tracy & Steven. Now my girl will sleep the night away!”
“Darien is incredible! Right off the bat when we first met her we got an excellent first impression. She will care for your pet like her own. Kind, compassionate and loving toward our dog. Darien is very flexible and reliable, which made our Thanksgiving gathering less stressful for the day. Thank you Darien for making life a bit easier during the Holidays!”
“A day for Pip with Amanda and Max is always a great day. They keep an impeccably clean and dog friendly house. And the gorgeous upscale neighborhood has quiet safe streets, so I know Pip is safe on his walks.”
“Outstanding service! I needed a last-minute backup sitter when our regular sitter wasn't available. Karen responded -and continued to respond throughout our interaction- immediately and thoughtfully. She asked excellent questions at our "meet-n-greet" and our pup immediately warmed to her and her well-kept home. I wasn't able to tell her exactly when I would be back to pick up due to lack of cell service but she took it in stride and replied "No problem" when I was finally able to communicate. Karen is new to this site and I'm confident she will be racking up 5-star reviews in no time. I will definitely use her again and tell my friends.”
About: I spent the past 4 years running a successful dog-watching business in NYC with my partner. We have since relocated to Northern NJ and intend to provide the same high quality services for pets here. I grew up with animals - dogs, rabbits, birds, mice, turtles and fish. I would’ve had cats too if members of my family weren’t so allergic. As a teen I volunteered with friends at our local animal shelter and chose to work with the cat population because most of the volunteers wanted to walk the dogs. Most recently I trained my own dog - starting from when she was 6 weeks old. I used a combination of training techniques (including crate training) to successfully potty-train her, teach her to walk on a leash and eventually teach her to hike and run together off-leash. My dog is now 3 years old and I bring her to my grandmother’s assisted living facility. She interacts with and plays appropriately with other dogs, pets, adults and children of all ages. She is a secure dog and adaptable to any environment. I believe my dog’s calm and friendly demeanor is a direct reflection of my skills. I’m prepared to handle dogs across the spectrum of sizes and energy levels. I live close to many beautiful parks and trails, some with dedicated areas for dog-play. I will closely follow any instructions you have for feeding, exercising, sleeping and socializing your precious pet. I work part-time from home and set my own schedule so I am able to dedicate the appropriate time and attention to your pet easily. I will treat your pet like part of my family if they stay with me. I have a very calming presence that animals seem to react really well too. I am happy to watch your pet at your place if that works best. I provide an engaging, safe environment no matter the location.
About: I take dogs into my home to be loved and treated as my own. I am home all day and have alot of time all day to take care of them. I am retired, local resident with ample time on my hands. Willing to accommodate short notice if necessary. Reliable transportation can provide pick up and drop of service. I feed them, walk them, play with them as they were my own. Give medicine as needed. Provide trips to local dog park thru out the day.
About: Hi! I’m Marina, a dancewear designer and a proud mom to a lovable 6-year-old dog. My love for animals brings me so much happiness, and I truly enjoy their company! I am mainly working in dance industry but do have part time to spend with dogs since I have my own and i have a lot of friends that have pets I just love to cuddle with them, walk them and play. I will prioritize the unique needs of each animal, recognising that every pet is special and deserves tailored care. I strive to create a comforting and personalized experience, ensuring that every pet feels valued and well- cared for.

“Highly recommended! 🌟 I booked Yubelkis last minute, and she was thankfully available. She took care of my baby for 4 days, and we stayed in constant communication. She sent me lots of pictures and videos, which gave me great peace of mind. My pup also had plenty of friends to play with and looked so happy the entire time. I’ll definitely book with her again! 🐾💖”
About: I have taken care of all sorts of dogs ever since I could remember. I have a lot of experience and love for animals of all kinds. My family and friends have relied on me to walk, bathe, feed, and care for their pets for many years! I am currently attending Berklee College of Music so i’m available at anytime on the weekend and most times during the week, if you contact me we can definitely work something out! I live in a pretty spacious apartment where your dog can have more than enough space to walk around, and although I grew up with 3 dogs in my home town, I do not have any dogs here in Boston so there is no worry about whether or not your dog with get along with other dogs. This way I will be able to give my full, undivided attention to your dog while I’m on the job. I am a student at Berklee College of Music and have some classes during the week but I am pretty flexible as they are only a couple of hours out of the day. I am completely free on weekends. I love animals and they deserve the best. I give my pets lots of love, and pets, and cuddles; and I treat every pet that I care for, and my own.
“Manuel is simply fabulous!! My dog is 12 and had an ACL tear and had surgery. I needed someone to watch him for the day about a week after surgery. My dog had a cone and a lick sleeve and we went for a Meet and Great with Manuel. He was so warm, professional and compassionate to my lil guy. My dog stayed with him a few days later and it was perfect. Manuel had to carry my dog up the steps and he was so gentle and loving. I highly recommend Manuel. You can’t get anyone better to take care of your furbaby!!”
“Vanessa and her family are so amazing. Cooper can't wait to get in the door for his day of play and always comes home happy and exhausted! So grateful to have Vanessa as she is so wonderful to work with and really loves all of the pups in her care.”
“Katherine and Walter are amazing! I cannot say enough great things! Buzz runs into their house excited and doesn't want to leave when I pick him up. They send pictures and videos which make my day. Their house has a great yard and his day is filled with walks, playtime with them and their cute dog, Oliver, and even hiking. They're kind, caring and super communicative. Highly recommend!”
“Cinthia was amazing with Koda. She was very communicative and provided regular updates throughout the day. I felt very comfortable with her watching my dog and knowing he was in good hands. Would totally recommend leveraging cinthia if you have the opportunity.”
About: I know the specific 'sad eyes' when you pack your bags. My goal is to make my home feel your home and know the exact ways your dog likes their ears scratched, so your dog feels like they’re on a vacation, not just waiting for you to return. I’m home full-time, an early riser, and an active person so I can easily take on your dogs routine and any special needs or requests. I have a fenced yard and a neighborhood with sidewalks. I have three children who love dogs as well and understand safety around meeting new dogs. We are a dog family and love to cuddle!
“Champ had the greatest day with Eunice and her family! He ran around the yard, played with her dog and got so many cuddles! I can always tell what kind of day he’s had when I pick him up and he was happy as can be! Plus lots of amazing pics throughout the day. Highly recommend Eunice!”
“Geoff & Family took such great care of our dog, sending regular updates throughout the day. They are true animal lovers with a great set up to properly host dogs and make them feel at home!”

“Cole is a true professional who genuinely cares for dogs and animals of all kinds. From the very beginning, he has been reliable, attentive, and incredibly easy to work with. My dog, Lucky, absolutely loves her walks with him and gets excited every time he arrives, which says a lot about the bond and trust he builds with the pets he cares for. Cole is caring, friendly, patient, and always brings a positive attitude. He treats every dog as if they were his own and takes the time to make sure they are comfortable, safe, and happy. As a pet owner, it gives me real peace of mind knowing Lucky is in such capable and compassionate hands. I truly appreciate the level of professionalism and genuine kindness Cole brings to his work. I would gladly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and caring dog walker to care for their cherished pet.”

Scooby tends to be shy with people he first meets but was actually doing zoomies outside at their first meet and greet lol They were responsive and friendly, they sent us updates and pictures of Scooby during every walk! I felt comfortable and assured that Scooby was in good hands. I highly recommend Katie and Zayn!”
“Kyra was really fantastic! I was nervous since my dog can be very shy and hesitant with new people, but she took to Kyra immediately. I highly recommend and I absolutely will be using Kyra again.”
“Claudine is an excellent reliable dog walker and my pup Pebbie is beyond thrilled to see her during her weekly walks!! She is very attentive to my pup and her needs. Her walks are long and just the right amount of time for my pup to burn energy. She even plays fun games to also make the walks more mentally stimulating. I cannot recommend Claudine and her services enough!”

About: I have always loved fur babies and have worked with all different age groups and energy types! I love learning about every pet's story and what makes them special. I am home for the summer from college, so I typically have a flexible schedule to fit your needs. I will be going back to school in mid-August. Every pet has different needs and boundaries, and I always aim to respect their trust. My own dog was very anti-social with people and other pets, so I know how to navigate those difficult interactions and make them feel safe.
About: Hello! As a school social worker, a mom, and a lifelong animal lover, I know firsthand that pets are not just animals—they are cherished family members who bring endless joy to our lives. I have over 5 years of dedicated pet care experience, and I understand how deeply important your pets are to you. Leaving them can be tough, but my goal is to give you total peace of mind by providing the same patience, safety, and nurturing care. I have completely open availability this summer! From now until August, I am available daily for walks, drop-ins, or daycare anytime up until 7:00 PM. I look forward to keeping your pup active and happy during the sunny months! I live in an apartment with one fur baby. We have a crate if necessary. We live walking distance from Branch Brook Park for some nice walks.

“Teresa is so sweet and kind. You can tell she really loves animals. Kuma had a great time with her and he’s someone that takes a while to warm up other people. It probably helped that her own dogs are so welcoming as well. I highly recommend.”
“We are so pleased with the care our dog received while staying with Laura and Daniel. They treated our dog with kindness and compassion. We are beyond grateful for your wonderful service. Thank you.”
“Maggie enjoyed her stay with Carolina! I felt very comfortable leaving Maggie there. I received updates and pictures during her stay. She also enjoyed playing with her dog Daisy! I will definitely be using Carolina again! Thank you so much Carolina for taking such good care of Maggie during her stay!”
“I am so happy to have found Jenny and Geoff! They took wonderful care of my 75-lb dog, Sawyer. After checking to make sure that he’d enjoy it, they gave him lots of play time with their kids and other dogs and treated him to multiple trips to the dog park. He started to show signs of an ear infection the day before I had to drop him off, and they were so kind about cleaning his ears twice a day. And they sent me daily photos and videos of him playing and cuddling. I was pretty sure that he wouldn’t want to come home again! Highly recommend!!”
“Jaina was amazing with coco sent us daily updates. Coco came home happy 🙂. Jaina accommodated our last minute request to have coco before our vacation which gave us relief that coco was in great hands. Thank you we look forward to sending coco.”
“Here's a shorter version: --- I recently booked Angela for two nights, and I'm thrilled with the care my dog received. Angela provided regular updates with photos and videos, ensuring my peace of mind. My shy dog quickly warmed up to them, and all his dietary and exercise needs were perfectly met. I came home to a happy pup and a tidy house. Highly recommend Angela for reliable and loving pet care.”
“Jenny was great with our dig, Riley. She asked lots of smart questions to be sure Riley was getting the best care and staying on his routine. She sent photos and was very accommodating when out flight delay resulted in a later than expected pick up. I highly recommend Jenny and will certainly call on her again.”
“Django loves being cared for by Tracy and Steve. He is excited and happy when we arrive and he doesn’t look back, letting me know he feels safe and secure, which is really important for a sensitive young dog with a rough rescue in his past. While I hate being away from him, I am confident he is receiving excellent care and enjoying his canine companions, the pictures they send show him having a blast! Highly recommended for both day care and boarding!”
“Darrin, Debra, and Emily cared for our most precious treasure Benjamin with much love, attention to detail, and dedication. We are very grateful for their professionalism, and for the good treatment that our English Bulldog received during this stay at their home. We recommend and will request your services again in the future.”
“Amy was great. Since we were in the area for a wedding and we selected Amy from all the positive posts. She was exactly what we wanted for our Cali. She sent pics which was great. I highly recommend Amy for anyone looking for a caring and secure sitter for your fur baby. Tks Amy❤️”
“Let me start by saying this was my first time using Rover ever. Andrew was so helpful and reassuring and explained everything to me. Additionally, while I was away he kept me up to date with texts and pictures of Finn. Finn had a great time with Andrew and you can just tell Andrew knew exactly how to best care for my puppy. Thank you so much!!”
About: I feel what makes me different from other candidates is that I have treats for them. I make sure they are always comfortable. I give you updates on how they are doing. I know as dog parents sometimes we stress of knowing how they are. I also have been working taking care of dogs since I was 15. It was helped me learn a lot through the years Taking care of your fur baby fits in my daily routine because I have extra time and I enjoy going on walks and they bring so much joy. What makes my home safe is that I live a safe area. There is a park across the street across the street. They also get the backyard. There are no kids and they will monitored.
“Gracie was well taken care of with Jessica. She sent daily morning and evening photos so we could see our furbaby. She was quick to respond to us when we sent messages. I would recommend her. I intend to use her again when we are in the area.”
“Doug was absolutely amazing. He provided us with daily updates and photos. Both of our dogs received lots of walks, playtime, and attention. We look forward to using his services again.”
