“We went to Germany for 10 fays. Michelle consistently sent us pics and videos of our Nola. We could tell Nola thoroughly enjoyed her stay as she is a playful pup and could see she was active during her stay. Very highly recommend Michelle's boarding place.”
“Cecily was our first dog sitter, and she exceeded our expectations with our 4 month old lab. She sent pix and was in constant communication about his updates. Adonis loved her and had a pleasant first time interaction with her other dogs as well. He didn't want to leave when it was time to go! Cecily is now my dog sitting go to!”
“Evander had a great stay. Multiple daily videos showed him socializing with the other dogs in the yard and house. Annette and Martin where great with him.”
“Kristen took great care of our dog Merlin! She was new to us and he seemed to settle right in and enjoyed having the company of a kid since he was used to a kid at home.”
“It was our first time booking this sitter and she was absolutely amazing. She sent me lots of pictures of my dog 🐶 and updates on how she’s doing. She was very quick in responding to my messages and very kind. My girl 🐕 came home the happiest. She had her best time there. I have rebooked this sitter for next month and will 💯 book her again in the near future. Can’t wait for my girl 🐕 go on another staycation at this sitter’s place. Cannot recommend enough. ❤️”
“John was absolutely amazing from start to finish with my two pups. Another thing is that his wife seriously helped me with pinpointing one of my pups skin issues and referred me to great vets in my area. The whole experience from start to finish was great and I can already tell that my pups miss hanging out with their sweet pup Panini.”
“Jenny and her husband are the best dog sitters we’ve ever had! One of our pups got a little sick, and he they took every precaution to make sure he was okay. From calling the vet, sending us updates, and sleeping with him at night to make sure he was okay, they treated our dogs just like they were their own. They really put us at ease and we always know that our dogs are in good hands when they go to visit!”
“We 1000% recommend Nantikan! She was highly responsive and flexible from the initial meet and greet to the time we picked our dog up (who didn’t want to come home!) Nantikan is very caring and knowledgeable and her home provided a safe, comfortable, fun place for our dog to stay while we were away. She provided updates to ease our minds and we quickly learned we had nothing to worry about. Our dog is already looking forward to going back!”
“I was really worried leaving Silver with someone on Rover. In the past, boarding experiences never went well as she is a people person and needs quality time with people, and also has anxiety. I left her with Nicole for 2 weeks and Silver absolutely adores her! Whenever we get close to her house, Silver gets so excited. When I picked her up after two weeks she kept whining and looking back towards Nicole's. Nicole made sure she ate her meals, and communicated a lot. She kept a very close eye on on her, and any issues were brought up immediately. She was very flexible with us as we had to extend a day last minute. She also bathed Silver for pickup and cleaned all her blankets as well! Pickup was smooth and fast, as she had kept track of all of Silvers many toys and blankets and had packed everything before I arrived. She and her husband helped me load her things into my car as well. Would absolutely recommend!”
“There are not enough words to express how my dog related to Laurie and her entire family. I felt so comfortable leaving my little guy there; He had so much fun. When we returned for a second visit, he knew immediatly where we were going upon turning onto Laurie's street and he became so excited. Upon seeing Laurie, he greeted her with all the love in the world. Wonderful experience!! Best decision ever!”
“Samona is absolutely wonderful! We were nervous about leaving our dog for 3.5 weeks but she made it so easy! Our dog took a while to warm up to the other dogs so she made sure she was watching them closely when they were together, while also allowing him to have his own outdoor time. Our dog loved the huge yard and all the toys they had (including the drone)! Plus, we got numerous updates (more than I have ever gotten from any other Rover) which made us so happy. I cannot wait to drop my pup back with Samona!”
“Alison was great with our dog Maggie! She took great care of her, kept her on her normal schedule, and showered her with attention and walks! Alison kept us updated during Maggie’s stay with texts and pictures. We felt very at ease knowing Maggie was so lovingly cared for while we were away!”
“Phyllis was fantastic!!! She kept in touch with us frequently for an update on how Domino was doing, which put our minds at ease. We really appreciated the report card when we returned. It was very obvious that Domino enjoyed her! We will definitely request her again."”
“Tim is great! Caring, attentive, and all-around an awesome human being. Was communicative and flexible. Would definitely board any dog with him again in a heartbeat.”

“This was my first time using Rover and my first time asking someone I don't know to check on my kitties so I was nervous about it. But Alyssa went above and beyond for us. She did a great job and sent us a lot of pictures. She really put my mind at ease while I was on vacation.”
“This is the first time I used Rover and it was a wonderful experience. Pumba is an exceptionally nervous and scared cat and Hailey did a wonderful job with him. I have more vacation time coming up in the future and hopefully Hailey is available cuz I will use her every time. An awesome experience”
“Victoria was fantastic! Not only did she check on both of my cats, as well as being active with refilling things like their water, but she also did some clean up around the house that was absolutely not required. Would absolutely come back to her!”
“Fantastic pet care! Gabrielle was thorough, prompt, thoughtful, and conscientious and spent plenty of quality time with Faith, making our absence much easier on her. Also made our vacation that much more enjoyable knowing our cat was in good hands.”
“Katie was everything we could ask for our 2 cats. I’m very particular with my instructions as they can be difficult and she made sure to follow everything to the T. I loved that she provided detailed feedback and pictures every time. Will definitely work with her in the future!”
“Zahira is the best! She was available on a whim and I always feel great about leaving our babies with her. She goes above and beyond with communication and updates and takes the absolute best care of our dogs! She’s basically Remy’s favorite person!”
“Jacqueline did so well with our 3 cats while we were away for vacation. She kept us updated with pictures and was right on time with her visits. She was a life saver and kept our minds at ease while we were away. Thank you so much!!”
“Cecily, kept in contact with us during the holidays, and she sent pictures of the cats. I do recommend her to anyone who needs a cat sitter for a while. I will be using her services again in the future when we need to.”
“We had a very good experience with Shannon! We contacted her last minute and she was very accommodating. Shannon seemed very sweet and genuine, which are refreshing qualities! She came by our house everyday and made sure our two cats Ozzie and Dude were feed, clean and happy. We even received pictures. I would use and recommend Shannon’s services again . She was awesome ! Thanks again Shannon!”
“Greg was really great with our three cats! He took care to make sure everyone was ok during his daily drop ins, and was very thorough with all of the feeding and care tasks we had for him to do. Our cats loved him, he has a good way of relating to animals of all different personalities. Would not hesitate to recommend him to anybody for daily cat care.”
“Kim always stays in contact to keep me updated on how my pet is doing with photos and text. Gives us a great peace of mind that our Cali is being looked after. Once again, thanks so much Kim!!”
“Jailen was a great sitter. My dog Dewie liked her from the first meeting. She took good care of him. She followed the instructions left for him and even went above and beyond bringing my package in the house. I hope to use her service's again.”
“Nicole gave our family support, patience and understanding in a difficult time for my dad. She is wonderful and I wouldn't hesitate to book her again if we so needed. Your pet is is excelent hands with her.”

“This was my Milo's 1st time ever being out of our home & with a stranger. I felt like a bad dog-mom leaving him daily and he wasn't too happy about the notion either. Seeing Eileen's patience & affection toward animals & receiving daily pics & videos of my boy all calmed my quills & assured me he was adjusting well & was in great hands.”
About: Pet Care Experience I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors who need a little extra love and patience. I’ve helped with walks, feeding, giving meds, and of course plenty of belly rubs and cuddle time. I treat every dog like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. What Sets Me Apart I really take the time to get to know each dog’s personality and quirks. Whether it’s helping a puppy learn good habits, supporting an older dog who moves at a slower pace, or sticking to a routine to keep your pup comfortable, I always adjust to what your dog needs. I also pay close attention to little details—like favorite toys, treats, or special instructions—so you can feel at ease knowing your best friend is in caring hands. Since I work from home, I have plenty of flexibility to give your dog the attention they deserve throughout the day. I can easily step away for walks, playtime, or check-ins, and I love having the company of dogs while I work. Whether it’s sticking to a set feeding and potty schedule or adding in some extra cuddle breaks, I’m able to keep your pup’s routine consistent and stress-free. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my care, I make sure they’re in a secure and pet-friendly environment—free of hazards, with plenty of space to relax and play. I always follow your instructions closely, whether it’s diet, medication, or special routines, so your pup feels right at home. When caring for dogs in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect as I would my own. I keep doors locked, routines consistent, and make sure your dog feels safe and loved until you return. Building trust is important to me, so I provide updates, photos, and quick check-ins to give you peace of mind while you’re away.
“We are beyond grateful to have found Kristen to care for our beagle, Annie! She had an incredible week filled with fun, and absolutely loved playing with Piper all week. We can’t recommend Kristen highly enough!”
“Tim came highly recommended, and now I know why! He was so understanding and patient as I navigated having him care for my senior dog, and he was clearly attentive to her. I will be back!”
About: I have taken care of animals all my life. I grew up with small pocket pets (rabbits) and birds. As an adult I have dogs, cats, chickens, horses, and alpacas - all of which live with me on my small farm. I have experience with giant breed dogs and higher energy dogs. I also know how and am comfortable giving medications. I have worked in the animal industry for the last 10 years. Ranging from boarding facilities for dogs and cats to veterinary offices. I also am currently volunteering with my therapy dog and we visit hospitals and schools. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom so my pets are with me all day. I take the dogs out for daily walks as well as other activities. I also have a large fenced in backyard for them to play in. I have a 1-acre fenced in yard for my babies (and yours!) to play in. All of my dogs are friendly and love to play with new friends. I also have cats (strictly indoor), horses, alpacas, and chickens on the property. New friends must be good with all animals as well as children if they are staying in the house. Children and other pets will never be left unsupervised with your fur baby. If I come to your home for care for your fur baby they will be spoiled with lots of attention and love
“Colin was great! Super patient and willing to work with our sweet girls quirks. Lady Bug came home well regulated and well tired out from her day and we look forward to booking with Colin again.”
About: I’ve owned and cared for cats, dogs, fish, rodents and reptiles for more than 45 years. I would be happy to share the love with your furry (or otherwise) family members too. I currently have a sheepadoodle that loves other dogs and people, so he would love to have a playmate to come and take walks and spend time with us. I currently work from home so I have plenty of freedom to spoil all the pets in my care. I do look after my 3 year old grandson sometimes so getting along with children would be an important quality if your pet should come to stay with me. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly sheepadoodle that gets along with both dogs and cats. We love to go on walks too.
“Ronon came home happy and relaxed from daycare at Sean's place, so I know he had a good time. (He has separation anxiety and big feelings, so if he's been stressed or unhappy when we're apart, it's pretty obvious.) Sean has a great, chill vibe and was very attentive to everything I told him about Ronon before his first visit. I will definitely book daycare with Sean again!”
“Ronon has spent the day with Sam and her adorable pug, Petunia, twice now. Sam has a nice home and yard and a very chill vibe. Ronon was comfortable with her immediately. Ronon has big feelings and separation anxiety, so I'm very picky about who I leave him with. (Also, he has all the hops and can jump a five foot fence. Sam has a very secure yard.) When I pick him up, he is relaxed and happy! I'm very comfortable leaving Ronon with Sam and will definitely be a repeat client.”
“John was able to accept a short notice request and was very accommodating to my situation. He sent updates and pictures frequently. Will definitely be trusting him with my fur baby again!”
“I needed a last minute sitter for a few hours and was coming from out of town. Bri was fantastic! She was very prompt in responding to my initial outreach (late evening the night before) and was very easy to work with. She took care of Miley and shared unprompted updates of Miley and her dog Piggy playing - which was very much appreciated! I would recommend working with Bri!”
“Barthalomew was super flexible and helpful with my dog Pumpkin. She had a great time with him and his dog. He was also responsive and easy to coordinate with. Will be using his services again”
“Shanee was a wonderful host. My Theo did not want to leave her house by the time I came to pick him up. It was so nice feeling relieved; knowing that my dog's having a good time with a good caring family while i was at work. I highly recommend! Thank you so much, Shanee & the family. I shall be back for sure.”

“Alyssa was great with my Max. Max is a 6 month old rescue pointer mix puppy who is still learning. Even after explaining he may have some reactivity, Alyssa took him for walks without hesitation and he enjoyed every minute. Made this dog momma feel at ease when needing walks in a pinch. Max is one happy puppy.”
“Amy is so sweet and friendly! She was available pretty quickly for a meet and greet, and my dog immediately warmed up to her! I appreciated her flexibility with walking my dog and sending me detailed reports with pictures. I will definitely rebook Amy for any future needs!”
“Amy came over earlier in the week to meet Ornn and I. Ornn quickly warmed up to her so I knolew it was going to be a good fit. She was prompt to pick Ornn up for his walks, and her notes let me know exactly what he was up to. I also loved getting the pictures to know he enjoyed his walk and then when he was back home and comfy.”
“If you are looking for an experienced, considerate, and dedicated dog walker/sitter, then you've found your match! Gregory has provided dog walks and overnight care for our 60lb hound mix multiple times over the last few months and we couldn't be happier with the care he provides. He is incredibly communicative, provides very detailed updates after every walk (with plenty of pictures included), and has shown the utmost dedication to understanding our dog Izzy and her specific behavioral needs. We have worked with many positive reinforcement trainers in the past to address our pups over-excitability and leash reactivity and Gregory using much of the same language as these dog trainers when discussing strategies he used on his walks with Izzy to help redirect and keep her focused and safe. Our pup is very scent driven on walks which can require a lot of patience and steady redirection, and we are so grateful for how kind and gentle Gregory is when handling Izzy. We've only had one overnight experience with Gregory so far and he took great care of our home and left the house spotless! He also ensured us that he only books one overnight stay at a time to avoid any conflicts in schedule and make sure our dog has company throughout the night and to keep her safe in the event of an emergency. All that being said, you will have no regrets choosing with work with Gregory and we feel very fortunate to have found him!”
“Gabrielle is wonderful - real time communication and updates, so thoughtful and kind to our dog, prompt, and clearly has a real love for animals that is put into all walks and interactions with pets. We are grateful for Gabrielle’s help with our dog!”
“Kayleigh is extremely attentive to my little DIVA! She sent great photos of my little cherub and let ne know the details of her visit , which makes all the difference in the world!”
“Alyssa did an amazing job watching over our dog, Luna while we were away for the weekend. Luna has very high anxiety and Alyssa was just great with her- she took her time so Luna would warm up to her and gain her trust. She communicated with us very well and sent pics. We appreciate the extra love and care. We highly recommend Alyssa’s services! Thank you.”
About: Special skills: senior pet care, pets with various behavioral and health needs, administering medication, kittens/puppies Growing up my family rescued numerous cats with varying behavioral and health needs and I have built loving connections with both the most cuddly and most standoffish of pets. Since childhood my neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets while on vacation and many senior neighbors depended on me to assist with dog walking. In 2020 I inherited my neighbors 12 year old dog when she passed away. Caring for his diverse needs into his old age was one of the highest honors of my life thus far. At home I have 4 dogs varying in size from Shih Tzu to Newfoundland. I love to walk and be in nature and am a great dog companion for the summer weather! I am a graduate student on a break from school with a flexible schedule to provide your fur babies with cuddles and care. I am happy to help almost any time, any day ! Building secure and trusting bonds with pets and their owners is a top priority of mine. Following instructions and attention to detail and safety is a key component of that.
“Morgan was amazing taking care of our pets while we were away. She took so many pictures and sent us updates daily! Would definitely use her again in the future!”
“Debbie is remarkable! Her love for my pup Charlie is a constant, and it shows in every interaction they have. Charlie absolutely adores her and gets so excited whenever she arrives. Debbie is dependable, caring, and always goes above and beyond to make sure Charlie is happy, safe, and well cared for. She gives me complete peace of mind knowing he's in such loving and capable hands. I couldn't ask for a better dog walker, and I wholeheartedly recommend Debbie to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family.”
“Reese done a excellent job with my boy Kane ,was on time with every walk,thk again for your help and I highly recommend her services if needed I will definitely use her again”
About: 🐾 About Me Hi, I’m Zahira! I’m a dedicated 5 star pet sitter providing reliable, in-home care throughout South Jersey. My goal is to give pets individualized, stress-free care in the comfort of their own home while giving owners complete peace of mind. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I was an aspiring veterinarian before graduating with my Management Information Systems degree. I grew up with a cat, currently have a 15 year old dog named Sport, and have cared for pets both on and off Rover. Building lasting relationships with both pets and their families is one of my favorite parts of this work. 🐾 My Approach I believe great pet care is built on communication, consistency, and attention to detail. Before every first booking, I require a complimentary meet and greet. This allows us to discuss your pet’s routine, personality, medical needs, favorite activities, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable while you’re away. During every stay, I provide regular updates with photos so you can travel knowing your pets are happy and well cared for. 🐾 Why Clients Choose Me * Calm, patient, and dependable care * Personalized attention for every pet * Reliable communication and photo updates * Punctual * Flexible scheduling * Respectful care for both your pets and your home 🐾 Looking Forward to Meeting You I know how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your home. My goal is to make the process as easy and stress free as possible for both you and your pets. I look forward to meeting you and providing the same level of care I’d want for my own animals. 𝐅𝐔𝐋𝐋 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 𝐏𝐄𝐓 𝐒𝐈𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑 Pet sitting is my primary professional commitment, allowing me to maintain a flexible schedule throughout the week. Whether you’re traveling for work, taking a vacation, or simply need an extra hand during the day, I’m committed to providing dependable, consistent care you can rely on. Please note: The communication metrics displayed on my profile may not fully reflect my level of responsiveness or the number of updates I provide. Some clients prefer receiving updates by text or phone, so not all communication is captured by Rover’s metrics. I pride myself on prompt communication and sending regular photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. During house sittings, I work to maintain your pet’s normal routine in the comfort of their own home, helping minimize any worry or concerns while you’re away. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would my own, carefully following all instructions and ensuring your pet receives plenty of love. I’ll also provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident that both your pet and home are in good hands! Thank you so much for trusting me with your fur baby 🤍

“Great job. And took pics to show how Dempsey was doing which is very reassuring. The only reason I rate a 4 is because the last walk I requested at 4pm and she was 40min late. Not a huge deal but I had to check in to make sure she was going”
“Stacey is an awesome dog walker and she really cares about the dogs she walks. She has great availability even on short notice and during the work week. I would definitely recommend having her to take care of your best friends!! 🦮🐕🦺🦴 ❤️❤️❤️”
