“Carolina was absolutely wonderful with Brady! She is so caring and attentive, and it really shows how much she loves what she does. She was responsive from the very beginning, keeping me updated. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was with someone so reliable and thoughtful. I could tell Brady was happy and well taken care of. I would highly recommend Carolina to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and truly caring sitter!”
About: I have years of experience in the caretaking of animals and I’ve always done it with love, my family and friends always trusted me to care for their pets since I was younger and i’ve always enjoyed it. I love every part of taking care of animals whether its grooming, bathing oral medications administration etc… Animals will always hold a special place in my heart. My schedule is very flexible, I usually stay home and do online school work most of the time, so I’m available really anytime on weekdays and sometimes on weekends. I will care for the pets by making sure they are well fed, kept clean and healthy. I live in a very safe neighborhood with a nice park down the street. I have an animal friendly household with fences outside to ensure that the pets wont wander off.
“Teresa was absolutely wonderful with Max. She kept us updated regularly and sent plenty of sweet photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. This was our first time ever leaving Max with a sitter, and it wasn’t easy—he’s our sweet 17.5-year-old boy and can’t travel with us anymore. I missed him dearly, but knowing he was in such loving and capable hands made all the difference. We’re so grateful to have found Teresa!”
“I had a great experience with John. I booked on short notice and he was very flexible with scheduling, which I really appreciated. He took excellent care of Carl while I was away and gave me real peace of mind the entire time. Communication was solid, and I received updates throughout Carl’s stay — it was clear he was being very well looked after. When I picked him up, he was calm, healthy, and completely himself, which tells you everything you need to know about the level of care he provides. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with John again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter.”
“Tricia was an amazing sitter for our pup, Milly. She incorporated water play, activity, and snuggles for our baby. We know she had an awesome time. Tricia was very communicative and detailed in her care. We received so many pictures of Milly during her stay. Peace of mind! Thank you Tricia for being so loving to our Milly.”
“We are so happy we found Desi and Marilyn. Our golden is not a fan of daycare/boarding so we knew a house setting where she could stretch out on some comfy blankets, was more her vibe. Desi and Marilyn texted photos and let us know how she was doing each day. We will definitely be bringing Ellie back next time we go away.”
“Amanda and her family treated our Cooper like one of their own! They provided so many great photos and updates! We will definitely be using Amanda’s services again☺️”
“Laura and Daniel went above and beyond in making sure my kitten had a great stay. I’m a new cat mom and was nervous to leave him behind but I felt at ease and they made sure to send updates throughout his stay. Very accommodating of schedule too. I would highly recommend them!”
“Christina and Nick provided a calm, loving environment for Ziggy. Christina sent daily updates and pictures, and there was no doubt in my mind that Ziggy was being well taken care of. That peace of mind was so appreciated during our time away.”
“I can't say enough great things about Marcy! This was Ivy’s first time staying with her, and from the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease. Marcy sent pictures regularly — without me even having to ask — and kept me updated the whole time. It was so reassuring to see him happy and comfortable. Her family is absolutely wonderful. The kids were so sweet with Ivy, and he even got to sleep in bed with one of them. It honestly melted my heart! You could tell he was treated like part of the family, not just a guest. I'm so grateful to have found Marcy. If you're looking for someone who will love your pup like their own, look no further. We'll definitely be back!!!”
“Darien took wonderful care of my dog, Coco, over the course of four days. She sent us photos and videos frequently including the times Coco ate, slept, and went to the bathroom, ensuring Coco was safe and sound. In addition, Darien provided free grooming for Coco, not only treating her with care but also with talent. We will definitely be working with her again.”
“I was a bit skeptical using Rover, and a bit nervous to leave Dilon. Paloma explained the process and was very helpful. I loved that Dilon stayed in good hands and I was able to have peace of mind. Paloma kept me informed of Dilon’s day to day, she would answer promptly to the messages and would also send pictures regularly. Thank you again for taking good care of Dilon.”
“Rhea & Michael were amazing dog sitters for Ozzie & Zoe! Ozzie is a rescue that is very afraid of new people and is very vocal about his fears. Despite being a more challenging dog, Rhea & Michael still opened their home up to our pups and gave them plenty of undivided attention. Zoe is a cattle dog mix with endless energy. We received daily text messages/pictures of her playing fetch in their fully fenced in quiet yard and then pictures of her being tuckered out and napping after. They were extremely patient and understanding of our dogs' specific needs. By the end of the trip, Ozzie had actually become friends with them, which is high praise from him! Your dogs will be treated like family if you chose Rhea & Michael to watch them 💕”
“Geoff and Jenny did a wonderful job taking care of my dog, Morgan. They took him out to walk for up to 5 miles, and had plenty of interaction between him and there 3 or dogs. Morgan is a Labrador retriever and weighs about 95 lbs. He fell in love with a small female dog and played well with him. He stayed for about a month while my wife and I stayed in Japan and then the Philippines. Geoff and Jenny sent many photos and videos through Whats.app. We sent a video of myself and two grandaughters (11 and 13 years) telling Morgan than we miss him and will be back in a couple of weeks. The sitters then showed a video of Morgan while they listened to the video. It was priceless. I recommend to use Geoff and Jenny as sitters with no reservations.”
“Elizabeth was great with my dog and provided me with daily updates! This was my first experience with Rover so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I would definitely use her services again in the future.”
“Maisha provides exceptional care for dogs. My dog, Asia, absolutely loves her, and I always feel confident knowing that Asia is in a safe, loving, and nurturing environment when she is with Maisha. Her genuine care, attention, and dedication give me complete peace of mind. I highly recommend Maisha to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog caregiver.”
“Repeat stay and experience with Katherine is once again very helpful,communication is great. Provides proper care ensuring dog receives medication. Provides updates and truly cares for well-being and health of fur baby. 🤍”
“Funda is just amazing. She took good care of my furbaby even with my short notice. She made it easy for us too as we were all set with our appointment yesterday. The rover sitter I booked last week cancelled my booking at the last hour due to an untoward incident. Funda was all flexible with my need as to her availability for drop off and pick up time. Cuppy had a great time playing in her huge yard with her kids. He felt safe with them. She also sent photos and videos of Cuppy. I highly recommend Funda to be your next dog sitter. She’s just wonderful! We will request her again for our future need. Thank you so much Funda!”
“We were so delighted with the care our pup Coach received during his stay with Enis. It is always a bit nerve wracking trying a new pet sitter, but I could tell from the photos that Coach was relaxed and happy and well exercised too! When it was time to go home he was happy to see me, but he was happy to be around Enis as well, which I take as a great sign. We will definitely book with Enis again.”
“Yuberkis did an amazing job watching over our two dogs over the past week. She took excellent care of them and sent us many updates throughout the week with photos and videos, and was easily accessible via Rover. We are so grateful to have used her, and will definitely book with her again!”

“Geoff provided amazing and attentive care for our 4 1/2 yo cat while we were away for 6 days. She was alone for the first time since we brought her home from the shelter 6 months ago and we were concerned about her getting lonely. He did a great job of earning her trust and keeping us informed along the way. We returned home to a healthy and well adjusted cat. Thank you, Geoff!”
“Nicole is an angel! There’s very few people I’d trust with my cats and Nicole is definitely one of them . She sends daily pictures and updates ,Followed through with directions and had fantastic attention to detail. 10/10 !!!”

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring specifically for cats in both home and group settings. I’ve helped my grandmother care for cats through the Start Foundation, where I learned how to handle different personalities, from shy and anxious cats to more playful and social ones. This taught me patience, gentle handling, and how to make cats feel safe and comfortable in any environment. I consistly care, feed, and medicate my aging cat.
“Tricia was great. Took excellent care of my cat especially considering we had just moved into the new house and the cat was quite nervous about the new space. I would definitely recommend and use Tricia again.”
About: I moved to New Jersey three years ago, and since then I’ve been caring for cats for multiple families through drop-ins and overnight stays. I make sure every cat is safe, comfortable, and cared for—whether that means feeding, cleaning litter boxes, giving medications if needed, or just spending quiet time with them so they don’t feel alone while you’re away. I understand cats have their own personalities—some are playful, some are independent, and some just want their space—and I always adjust to whatever makes them feel most comfortable. Over the past few years, I’ve built experience providing reliable, attentive care, making sure each cat feels calm, safe, and stress-free while you’re gone. Welcome to The Zoomies Club 🐾 — where even the quietest cats are cared for with patience, respect, and love. My goal is always to give you peace of mind knowing your cat is safe, comfortable, and well looked after.
“We’re so grateful to have found a wonderful person to babysit our boy! We will certainly be using Stefanie again. She’s a qualified professional who communicates well and took great care of our cat.”
“Great at everything. I used her service multiple times and she’s been awesome at timing, service and goes above and beyond. I will definitely recommend her and will continue using her moving forward.”
“I had an amazing experience with Morgan over the Christmas break. She took excellent care of my diabetic cat, ensuring he received his insulin and even administering UTI medication when we discovered he was had a mild UTI. Her attentiveness and care were exceptional, and I would absolutely use her services again!”
“She was very accommodating and offered tons of attention, care and affection to our Clifford. Always sent updates and photos, and was flexible in timing, her cat also was a very friendly and fun companion for our cat during his stay. Highly Recommended!”
“Yaneira is great! She watched my kitty Sydney for over a week and did exactly what I asked for and more! I truly felt comfortable being on vacation knowing that Sydney was in Yaneira's hands. She is professional and loves animals, which was easy to tell from when she met Sydney. I will definitely be using Yaneira again the next time I need to go out of town. She is very responsible and committed :)”
“Valerie was wonderful to work with. She allowed us peace of mind knowing our cat was taken care of while we were away. Even when we experienced a miscommunication, she was very receptive and willing to accommodate our new request. It was an ideal sitter situation. Will book again!”
About: I have a deep passion for feline care and companionship. I was the proud owner of a handsome male Tuxedo cat from 2021 to 2023, who unfortunately crossed over the Rainbow Bridge at the grand age of 16. Currently, I am absolute best friends with my 4-year-old rescue cat, Ebony. Having successfully rehabilitated Ebony from a highly skittish street-rescue into a confident, loving companion, I have a profound understanding of cat trauma, anxiety, and boundaries.

“Valerie was great with Ophelia. She got her outside a lot so she could sniff to her heart's content. Saw her first deer! Great communication. Thanks for taking such good care of our pup!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Marcy’s Dog Daycare! From the moment I dropped my dog off for his first visit, I knew he was in great hands. Marcy is incredibly kind, professional, and has such a deep love for animals—it’s clear she’s not just doing this as a business, but because she genuinely cares about the dogs in her care. Not only did Koda have a blast playing with other dogs, but he came home exhausted (in the best way possible!) and with a huge smile on his face. I could tell he had been well taken care of and treated like part of the family. I would highly recommend Marcy’s Dog Daycare to anyone looking for a safe, loving, and reliable place to leave their pet. It’s such a relief to know that my dog is not only cared for but actually enjoys his time there. I will definitely be bringing Koda back!”

But from the moment I dropped my dog off, Paloma made me feel completely at ease.

It was so comforting seeing how loved, safe, and cared for my dog was while I was away. You can truly tell she cares about the animals she watches.

When I’m not home, my mom and dad are—so your dog will always have loving company and never be left alone. In my home, pets are treated like family. They’re free to roam around the house and enjoy a safe, fenced-in backyard for playtime and fresh air. I have an 8-year-old friendly Yorkie who loves company, but she can be comfortably crated if needed to ensure your pet feels completely at ease.
About: I’ve cared for dogs for years through family, friends, and people in my neighborhood. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, boarding, giving lots of attention, and keeping up with each pet’s usual routine. I know every dog has a different personality, so I try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

“Zuleyka took Blue in for 8 days. She was very flexible with the reservation since I confirmed almost last minute. There was not one day without many updates and pictures, and she also bathed Blue as he got dirty. Zuleyka was very professional and friendly since the beginning to end, not to mention that Blue was not behaving too good at first and she was still ok with him and communicating all Blue’s needs and moods as he was sad without us. I could see how his fave changed to a quick “Happy” a couple of days later. I would definitely book Zuleyka again in the future.”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with animals and my hands-on care in different situations. I’ve been taking care of my own dogs, cats, and bunnies since I was six years old, so I understand daily routines, exercise needs, and how to keep pets happy and safe. I’ve also helped my grandmother care for cats through the Start Foundation, where I learned patience, gentle handling, and how to look after multiple animals at once. Because of this, I’m comfortable with pets of all ages—from energetic puppies and kittens who needs attention to older pets who require a calmer, more careful approach. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’ve always had responsibilities taking care of animals at home. I’m used to planning my day around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets get the attention they need. I’m consistent and organized, so I can easily stick to a pet’s routine and follow any specific instructions. On a weekly basis, I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be reliable and available for regular visits or last-minute needs. Taking care of pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so I make it a priority to give them quality time, whether that’s exercise, play, or just keeping them company. For dog walking, I make sure each walk is safe, structured, and tailored to the dog’s energy level and needs. I follow your usual route or preferences, keep dogs securely leashed, and pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. During walks, I allow time for exercise, bathroom breaks, and a positive interactions so they stay happy and engaged. For drop-in visits, I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine. This includes feeding, refreshing water, cleaning up after them, and spending quality time with play or companionship so they don’t feel lonely. I also keep an eye on their overall behavior and well-being, making sure everything seems normal while you’re away. For cats, I make sure they are safely in their home and always being careful about opening the door so they don't escape. I take my time till they get to know me. In both cases, I respect your home, follow all instructions carefully, and provide dependable, attentive care so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

He took excellent care of Carl while I was away and gave me real peace of mind the entire time. Communication was solid, and I received updates throughout Carl’s stay — it was clear he was being very well looked after. When I picked him up, he was calm, healthy, and completely himself, which tells you everything you need to know about the level of care he provides. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with John again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter.”

“We are so happy we found Desi and Marilyn. Our golden is not a fan of daycare/boarding so we knew a house setting where she could stretch out on some comfy blankets, was more her vibe. Desi and Marilyn texted photos and let us know how she was doing each day. We will definitely be bringing Ellie back next time we go away.”
“Laura and Daniel went above and beyond in making sure my kitten had a great stay. I’m a new cat mom and was nervous to leave him behind but I felt at ease and they made sure to send updates throughout his stay. Very accommodating of schedule too. I would highly recommend them!”

“Geoff and Jenny did a wonderful job taking care of my dog, Morgan. They took him out to walk for up to 5 miles, and had plenty of interaction between him and there 3 or dogs. Morgan is a Labrador retriever and weighs about 95 lbs. He fell in love with a small female dog and played well with him. He stayed for about a month while my wife and I stayed in Japan and then the Philippines. Geoff and Jenny sent many photos and videos through Whats.app. We sent a video of myself and two grandaughters (11 and 13 years) telling Morgan than we miss him and will be back in a couple of weeks. The sitters then showed a video of Morgan while they listened to the video. It was priceless. I recommend to use Geoff and Jenny as sitters with no reservations.”
“Repeat stay and experience with Katherine is once again very helpful,communication is great. Provides proper care ensuring dog receives medication. Provides updates and truly cares for well-being and health of fur baby. 🤍”
“Funda is just amazing. She took good care of my furbaby even with my short notice. She made it easy for us too as we were all set with our appointment yesterday. The rover sitter I booked last week cancelled my booking at the last hour due to an untoward incident. Funda was all flexible with my need as to her availability for drop off and pick up time. Cuppy had a great time playing in her huge yard with her kids. He felt safe with them. She also sent photos and videos of Cuppy. I highly recommend Funda to be your next dog sitter. She’s just wonderful! We will request her again for our future need. Thank you so much Funda!”
“We were so delighted with the care our pup Coach received during his stay with Enis. It is always a bit nerve wracking trying a new pet sitter, but I could tell from the photos that Coach was relaxed and happy and well exercised too! When it was time to go home he was happy to see me, but he was happy to be around Enis as well, which I take as a great sign. We will definitely book with Enis again.”
“Marisol and John were the best to take care of our pups! They are so sweet and caring. They have an amazing fenced backyard! Our pups ran their hearts out everyday! My dogs always try to leave in a hurry from a sitter, but this time they didn’t want to leave. Our pups love them; I think more than they love us.. lol .. Marisol and John are very attentive and have a very warm household. The entire family is awesome!”
“Jenise was amazing! She took care of our goldendoodle for 1.5 weeks and our little girl had a blast. Jenise was attentive and flexible, and gave our dog plenty of exercise and attention in a lovely home environment. Thank you for taking care of Lainey!!”
“Maureen was wonderful. She made Bailey feel welcome. Additionally, she helped us to have a high level of confidence in the environment that she was create for our dog. We will be going back to her in the future.”
“Alex was wonderful with our dog, Cody for the week he stayed with him. We received pictures and updates and I could see from the photos that Cody was very happy. He came home to us very excited to see us, but we’re very relaxed and well taken care of. I would highly recommend Alex!”
“Elizabeth and Oleg were everything we looked for and found for our dog, Ralph. When we search for somebody to leave him with, that person must have a fenced in yard and be fine to take him on a walk or two each day. It’s what he’s used to now and it’s what we feel most comfortable with when leaving him for an extended period of time. Elizabeth and Oleg provided both of these AND plenty of photos along the way to let us know that Ralph was enjoying his stay. 10/10 would recommend them if you’re looking for somebody to watch your furry friend.”
“Karla is amazing!! This is the second time we left our dog under her supervision. She sent us updates every morning and evening which is so great. My dog is paralyzed and needs special attention, but she was so amazing with him. You could easily tell that he loves her. Thank you so much Karla for your patience with Fido!!!! You are THE BEST!!!!”
“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.”
“We travel frequently for long trips and our usual sitter was not available this time and so we chose to use Rover and found Ankita and her beautiful family . From the time of meet and Greet I knew that I couldn’t have found a better dog loving home for my coco . The love care and affection they showered on coco was evident from the multiple daily updates we received in form of videos and messages . Coco was the happiest puppy ever and I bet she is going to miss them so much - especially their Dog Panther who is such a sweet heart and their little son who became coco’s best friend and companion to play all day :) Coco has found a new second home and we will surely be using them again at our next time away”
“Kathy and Ben were such hospitable hosts to our doggo! She is not the easiest puppy to handle, and they were sweet, patient and went above and beyond for her. AJ was well taken care of, and we received so many pictures and updates during our trip. I would absolutely recommend Kathy and Ben to anyone who needs their animal cared for, and we will certainly be using them again.”
“This was our first boarding experience. Alice was responsive and clear from the beginning. I felt very comfortable leaving our dog with them. Alice gave us status updates, photos and videos throughout our time away. We were happy that our pup was having a good time and being so well cared for. This made our vacation even better!”
