“Vince is amazing. He put my mind at peace with just 1 meet & greet visit. It’s like Magik returned from Hogwarts University 🪄dog edition. Can’t wait to use Vincent’s services again.”
“Highly recommend! William hosted my diabetic/blind senior doggy and took such good care of him. William is very detail oriented, asked great questions showing he truly cares. He sent regular updates, went above and beyond making sure my dog eats and made me feel better about leaving him behind. Pugsy will definitely be coming back! Thanks William!”
“Thank you Bhavani for taking care of my pup Rajah, I was so anxious leaving him for the weekend but happy he got to stay in a home where he was well taken care of and had a lot of play time! Thank you also for constantly keeping me updated with pictures and videos!”
“Natalia was an incredible dog sitter for our dog Tino. She always sent updates and pictures throughout the whole week . I could tell my dog enjoyed her company so much !! I definitely recommend her and will be using her for our next trip! Thanks so much Natalia !!”
“Had a 5 day vacation and couldn’t really find anybody last minute to watch my dog for me. I discovered rover and came across Jose’s profile, we connected very easy and he was able to assist watching my dog for me. Jose’s services are great he communicates very well and he kept me updated each day with photos and videos of my dog and i can tell by looking at the photos and videos my dog really enjoyed himself. he enjoyed himself so much that he seemed so sad when we were in the car pulling off from jose’s house after pickup. Jose has his own pets as well which my dog got along exceptionally well with ,if you have pets and want to work on their socializing skills i definitely recommend you guys board or let your dog spend a day with jose . I most definitely will be bringing my pup back to Jose next vacation and i recommend you guys do you as well you will not be disappointed i promise!!”
“I 100% recommend Dhruvit and his amazing family! They’re super friendly and incredibly patient with dogs — you can really feel how much they care. From the start, they were happy to set up a meet and greet so we could get to know each other, which made us feel very comfortable right away. Elsa had the best time staying with them — she was happy and well taken care of the whole time! Dhruvit sent us lots of photos and always replied really quickly, which made us feel super reassured. He also paid close attention to Elsa’s habits and followed all our instructions perfectly. Elsa is a super high-energy dog who needs lots of exercise, and Dhruvit made sure she got plenty of walks and playtime every day. We’re so glad we found them! They’re truly wonderful people, and we’d definitely love to book with them again in the future.”
“The best dog sitter that anybody could ever have. He’s very loving to my animals. He does all extra things that I don’t ask him to do like baths. I do believe he plays with them and has a good time with them and makes them feel at home. I know if she’s watching them that they’re safe.”
About: I am American Red Cross First Aid Certified I am insured & offer weekend and some weekly pup play & stay. Your fur baby will enjoy a loving home environment with supervised playtime, cuddles, attention, and a safe place to relax while you’re away. I treat every pup like family and provide regular updates so you can feel comfortable and connected during their stay. I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will have a calm, comfortable environment with lots of companionship. I’m available most weekends for boarding, daycare, and play stays. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate potty breaks, playtime, feeding routines, walks, cuddles, and rest throughout the day to help your pup feel safe and at home. I have two friendly toy poodles and a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. Dogs in my care can roam freely throughout the house and enjoy a calm, loving environment. I also understand some dogs prefer their own space, so I’m happy to provide separate quiet time away from my pups when needed.
“Nan is a warm and caring person, and one of the best pet sitter I’ve ever met. She not only takes excellent care of the dogs but also provides them with companionship, making them feel completely at home. The nearby park is convenient for playtime, and unlike some dog sitter ，she gives dogs plenty of space to roam freely. Her family also loves dogs and treats them as friends. You can trust Nan wholeheartedly with your dog’s care.”
“Bonnie was available for a first time, last minute boarding request and the whole experience from a quick meet and greet onwards was great. Very reassuring to have Luke stay at her home. He was comfortable for sure. Thank you!”
“Jennifer (and her family) did an amazing job taking care of our dachshund Blue for the weekend while we were away. She sent plenty of pictures of blue having fun throughout our trip and was communicative throughout the stay. We would definitely use her again!”
“Maureen always takes such wonderful care of our fur baby. She goes above and beyond to make sure Charlie feels loved and happy. We’re so grateful for her kindness.”
“Lorrie watched my two pups for 4 days the second week of April. It was apparent from our initial meeting in March that she really loves animals and that she knows her stuff. Lorrie indicated that her previous career was a veterinary technician for many years, which put my mind at ease. Her home is set up perfectly to attend to the needs of the dogs in her care. The home features a large, fenced in yard which allows dogs to get their outdoor time several times a day. She sent me daily text updates which included photos of my dogs. Being 600 miles away, the daily updates were very much appreciated. When I picked up my pups they were happy, healthy and they both gave her farewell kisses. Nice! I highly recommend Lorrie to anyone considering a pet sitter while you are out of town.”
“Dottie had another fabulous stay with Jaimie. Jaimie took excellent and diligent care of her and she came home happy and tired after playing with Ollie. Can’t wait for our next visit. Thank you!”
“Jonathan & Rebecca took great care of Coco and as he some company with other pets he was more than happy with them. Would definitely rebook with them.”
“Stacia was unbelievable with my 12 week old puppy . She sent me so many updates of my boy and took such great care of him during his stay. I will 100% use stacia in the future . My pup was so happy.”
“Jacqueline is the get away Hotel for my cat. He spent five nights being pampered, given time in the fresh air, and the center of attention with her entire family over the weekend. He sleeps out in the open which shows he is comfortable and lets the family play with him and rub his belly which he rarely allows. Jacqueline shares numerous videos pictures and text updates. My guy is actually adjusting coming back home; I’m not sure he was ready to leave his vacation! It’s just he and I so now I feel bad he left all of his friends at Jacqueline’s house! She and her family are truly wonderful people and take very good care of my cat. Thank you, so much, for taking care of my little turkey!”
“I boarded my 2 cats with Nervana for 8 days and she took great care of them! She was happy to give my boy his pill 2x daily and made sure to send me pic and video updates. Based on the videos I saw, the cats warmed up to her very well (even my girl who is usually terrified of 99% of people lol.) I would definitely recommend her to anyone else needing care for their pets in the future!”

About: Have owned animals since I was a child. Dogs, cats, fish, reptiles. I’m a nurse with an empty nest, so looking for animals that need some interaction during my days off. I work 3 days a week so I have availability the other 4 days. My youngest just left for college, so my off days are wide open. I actually use Rover for days I have to work.

“Jenna is an amazing cat sitter. She's so attentive, friendly and really cares about caring for my dear kitten, Luna. She went above and beyond to keep me updated during the visit and has a high attention to detail. She played with Luna and sent fun pictures so I felt at rest knowing my cat was in good spirits! She has her own cats, so she deeply understands how to care for cats. I'll be booking Jenna every time I need to leave town.”
About: since the age i was one i always had dogs i grew up always having dogs. With that i became the person that always watched other peoples dogs. Everyone has always told me i have a secret way with animals and my dream was to always become a vet to help animals. I love animals. Animals have always been special to me. Anytime i go to anyone’s house the first thing i do is go to their pets. Pet care fits into my daily schedule because I have two big dogs and my dogs are my best friends. I love to walk them, play with them, nap with them, and i buy them alot of toys. To me having a dog best friend is one of the most important things. I keep my dogs on a schedule they eat twice a day. My dogs love to run around in my yard and love playing catch. I care for them by feeding them, playing with them, and walking them. I have watched other dogs at my house and they get along with my dogs very well.
About: What sets me apart is my deep, cat-specific experience and my calm, trust-based approach to care. In my adult life, I’ve been a cat mom to five cats, including my current orange furball, Phoebe. Living with cats long term has given me a strong understanding of feline personalities, boundaries, and routines. I’m especially comfortable caring for senior cats, shy or anxious cats, and cats who need patience and consistency to feel safe. I respect each cat’s individual preferences and never force interaction, allowing trust to build naturally. I’m very detail-oriented when it comes to feeding instructions, medications, litter box care, and maintaining a clean, low-stress environment. Because I work part time, I have the flexibility to provide attentive, unhurried care and regular check-ins. I also communicate clearly and provide photo updates so cat parents can feel confident and at ease while they’re away.
“Third time booking Neve. I had three great summer vacations thanks to her. Completely reliable and a true professional I am grateful to have lucked out and booked her. You should too.”

My meeting schedule is flexible and I can always ensure I am timely to take our dogs! I love dogs and have cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I am incredibly patient and level when it comes to animals and can work with dogs in all situations.
“I had the pleasure of having Taylor care for my cat while I was away for about a week, and I couldn't be more pleased with her service. She was always punctual and displayed a remarkable level of professionalism throughout the entire experience. Not only did she diligently follow all instructions, but she also kept me updated with delightful photographs of my cat, which truly eased my mind while I was away. It’s clear that she has a genuine love for animals, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable pet sitter.”

I own a single-family home in Staten Island with a large, and fully fenced-in backyard 👨👩👧👦 Meet the Family My household includes my two children (ages 9 and 12), who have grown up around dogs and know exactly how to be gentle and respectful of our furry guests. We also have a 6-year-old female German Shepherd named Nia.

We live in a 3-floor single-family home where your dog will have full access, plus a large, fully fenced-in backyard for safe, secure playtime.

“Natalia and Ilian were terrific. They took Maisie on a long walk, gave updates, and made us feel assured that our dog was taken care of. Maisie was really tired when she got home, which was great! I would definitely recommend Natalia and Ilian to anyone looking for a Rover employee!!”
“Jonathan was excellent. He introduced my dog to his own dogs so that they can get comformtable around each other since my dog is afraid of big dogs. Jonathan kept updating me throughout the day with pictures and text messages. I was very happy with the service and care my pet got from Jonathan and will definitely go back to them in futuure.”
About: I have had a love for all kinds of animals ever since I was a little kid. I’ve had every sort of pet, big and small, from fish to ferrets to dogs. While I have no professional experience looking after pets, I have always prided myself on my responsible and caring nature. I will make sure that your pet is comfortable, safe, and has fun! I have had dogs of my own for the past five years. Freddy is a 5 year old Italian Greyhound and Sammy is a 2 year old medium mixed breed. If you want your dog, big or small, to socialize both of my fur babies are excellent with other animals. If not, a one-on-one walk is totally doable! I have personal experience with cats, elderly dogs, puppies, gentle giants, and itty bitties. I’m also comfortable administering medication as my own dog has a seizure disorder that requires multiple medications several times a day. I’m currently studying for my board exams and need any excuse I can get to enjoy the summer weather. I would love to take your dog along with me on my walks and runs during study breaks. I would love to take your dog on a walk or run around your neighborhood or park. If your dog wants some socialization I can even bring one or both of my pups along for a play-date. If I’m with your dog I will treat them as if they were my own. When I take my dogs out for a walk I am always diligent about traffic and others in our area. I pay attention to my dog’s body language and will adjust our route according to their comfort. I always check the pavement to make sure it is not too hot and always have water, treats, poop bags, and paw balm with me!
“Kevin is the best! My anxious cavapoo Cleo, absolutely loves staying with him! She is always so happy and relaxed with him! Kevin is incredibly kind, easygoing, and flexible, which makes coordinating everything so stress-free. His communication is always clear and consistent, and I never have to worry when Cleo is with him. The biggest thing for me is how comfortable and happy Cleo feels in his care! Highly, highly recommend Kevin!”
About: For years, I’ve been trusted by friends and family to care for dogs of all sizes and personalities, whether it’s energetic puppies, strong large breeds, or mellow older dogs. I also have experience providing medicine for both dogs and cats, ensuring they get the right care when they need it most. I know how important it is to keep pets active and engaged, so I make sure every dog gets plenty of walks, playtime, and attention tailored to their needs. Being an active caregiver, I enjoy staying on the move and making sure each furry friend feels loved, safe, and happy while in my care. I currently work four days a week and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide care and walks Monday, Wednesday through Sunday. This gives me ample time for multiple walks per day, accommodating different feeding routines, and plenty of playtime. Whether it’s sticking to a schedule or adding in extra activity, I make sure each pet gets the care and attention they need. Depending on your dog’s training and routine, I can follow your directions for crate use, provide free roam in my apartment, or stick to the setup you prefer. Since I don’t have a yard, I make sure dogs are leash trained and enjoy regular walks in my neighborhood. Walks can range anywhere from 1 to 3 miles, depending on your dog’s needs and your request. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and well-cared for in an environment that matches their routine. In your home, I would follow careful instructions with walking, feeding, and playing.
“Thank you very much Jacqueline for your excellent and cordial care. I feel very comfortable and confident. I definitely recommend the good service that Jacqueline provides. Five stars are to few for you !!!”
About: I provide more than just pet care—I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I have hands-on experience with both energetic puppies who need extra playtime and training, as well as senior pets who benefit from gentle handling, medication management, and a slower pace. I pay close attention to detail, communicate frequently with pet parents, and treat every dog as if they were my own. I work full time, but I work from home. I am available on most days and can be there for lunch routines. I am available during my lunch breaks for dog walks. I have one mini bernedoodle, who is the most friendly dog in the world. I can take care of dogs in my house, and am available for walks on my lunch.
About: I've taken care of puppies and adult dogs of my friends and family for over 8 years and counting. I love training, walking/hiking, and taking my dog to the dog park. I currently work from home full time so I am able to provide daily walks to your fur baby. I also have a very friendly and social ShihPoo that loves any furry friend that comes to stay overnight or spend the day with us. I have a large apartment, in a multifamily house I share with my mother, with access to a fenced in backyard. I make it a priority to walk my dogs and either take them to the park or trail to give them a change of scenery (weather permitting). On very cold, rainy, or snowy days I make sure to give my dogs activites and attention. I will crate, if asked, but usually when I petsit I let the furbabies free roam. I work from home full time so I am able to spend the whole day with your pup and tend to their needs (walking, potty, playing, feeding etc.) In my home, I have a roam free environment however if a dog requires separation or crating I have a second bedroom. I also have a fenced yard for quick potty time.

About: Hello, Thank you for stopping by! My name is Jennifer. I currently have 3 kitties of my own. I do know how nerve-racking it could be leaving your pet with someone. I have left prior sitters visuals, maps, drawings when I have gone away (thank you OCD lol). I am probably a bit much but I need to know that while I'm away, my fur children are in nurturing loving hands not missing me. To say I am protective is an understatement. *I just came back to the site after having a few extensive surgeries so please do not go by the early reviews as I was only on here for a few months until I had to have surgeries - I’m doing great now :)* ***Please before you go on reading…yes, I understand my fees are higher than most. Upon meeting me, you will understand why. I will offer knowledge that may help you with your furbaby.If you are having a hard time with behavioral issues where other sitters won’t know what to do, I most likely will. The plethora of knowledge about dogs/cats/horse/fish/etc that is infinite. I may be able to offer you a couple tips that are possibly life changing. No, I do not have all the answers (if anyone says they do…you should most likely run). However, my knowledge regarding animals is far superior than the average pet sitter. I am 43 years old. I have chosen to take on this work because my heart is very into it. However, now that I am mostly home working on a project it makes it easier for me to sit for your pet. Unfortunately, boarding a doggo overnight within my home who has a lot of behavioral issues would not be a good fit for my cats nor is it fair to do this to them. If it is a mini breed or a larger vet well trained dog, we can discuss (please reach out as it can’t hurt to ask). I wouldn’t mind staying at your home on a case by case basis. If you needed me to give your pets a lot of love, adoration, full blown attention-enforce your commands that you’d like for me to withhold, have a couple of cognitive/ physical training sessions to help you with some behavioral issues/keep your pup sharp or even if it’s administering medications, etc…all your pets needs will be meet efficiently. If this is what you seek, I may be your gal. I welcome cameras in the home so that you are able to see how well your beloved companion is doing with me. I wish more people had cameras so that everyone gets to see how their pet is truly doing while you’re away! My experience with animals comes from years over time of being involved with rescue, surrounded by trainers, healers, tons and tons of self knowledge, audio books, old fashioned books, etc. I was born to hear animals and I consider it a huge gift. It is in my nature that when I am with your pet that my FULL attention is with your pet and your pet only. I myself have hired pet sitters who would sit on their phone in front of me while pet sitting and it was pretty irritating. I know the type of person I would want (and not want) watching my animals because I have been there before with kittens/cat/puppies/dogs. Another pet peeve of mine would be walking into a dog park and the owners aren't paying close attention to their dogs. Unfortunately, we live in an age where cell phones have become top priority and then the pup is put into a bad situation because of the lack of attention. I have seen it time after time and it has left me with a bad taste. This will never happen with me. If I don’t like the vibes - I don’t enter in. There is a proper way to introduce dogs and it’s not nose to nose but rather behind to behind. Dogs are not humans (well some are lol) they are dogs. They read the room very differently than how we would. I promise you wholeheartedly that this is something you will never have to worry about. You pet has my UNDIVIDED love and attention at all times on my watch. It is pertinent for your pet that I uphold and take full responsibility as your pet sitter to give them full attention the entire time they are with me. All of my pups learned their basic commands very early on. It means everything to me when a dog is speaking the same language as its owner. I wish to take your lead and follow everything precisely. When putting a dog on a "heel" command during a walk, my attention has to be two places: 1- On the pup and 2- Observant of the environment. I have fostered 2 dogs and have trained 3 dogs. I have broken the prey drive of 2 beautiful pit bulls and one Tree Walking Coonhound/Terrier dog with my cats. I have also broken anxiety of one of the dogs I was fostering. Truly it was a lot of work, time, patience, repetition and more patience but I got to learn so much about speaking dog. They teach you so many things. I had a very hard time finding someone to board my pup when I had him because I knew a bit more than they did which left me on edge. I sifted through a lot of sitters and it wasn't until I had someone teaching me something that I felt 100% confident in leaving my fur baby with them. I have worked along side with trainers and have read heaps fulls of dog language books/manuals/dvd's etc. I have been called the dog whisperer, cat whisperer/animal whisperer. I have also attended workshops for animal communication to further my education with animals. I look forward to building a career from this. I have obtained one Bachelors degree and a second Associates degree as well as obtaining my NYS license for massage therapy (for humans lol). I am very passionate about animals and have been called a healer. I am Reiki 2 Certified and do Reiki for animals. My entire heart is into this because animals don't have a voice. When I tell someone I can speak cat or dog they may look at me like I am from the funny farm but it’s true. There is a way of listening to an animal by its body language, sounds, breathing, even yawning etc. I have been clipping nails since high school of anxious pet owners pets nails, wiped out floppy ears, burrito wrapped cats for clippings, I’m able to administer medicine without a problem (there are tricks for this), brushing, you name it and I've probably done it. Anyway I can help, I am always willing if it’s for the cause of an animal. Snuggles are my favorite thing along with interactive puzzle type of games that your pups will crave if they would be so kind to join me. No job is too big for me to handle : ) Please let me know if you would like the garbage taken out, plants watered, etc. I am able to light housework if necessary. I will send a TON of pics upon your request because I know how on edge, especially first time sits could be for an owner. NOTE***Please let me know if your dog gets along with cats as this is the only way I can accept them for the safety of my own fur children as well as for the safety of your own pup*** Any information provided for your pet, I will adhere to. I always take 30 min to an hour a day for play/brush when it comes to my own. Please let me know your instructions- dog/cats likes and dislikes, allergies etc. I prefer crated pets because with this, it comes security and a lot less anxiety for your pet when used correctly and for positive reinforcement only. I like to think of it as a floating bedroom for them :) Looking forward to meeting you and your fur-baby/fur-babies soon! *Please note, yes…my fees are more than average because I am at a very advanced level when it comes to caring for you furbaby/furbabies. I would be willing to make and exception if the opportunity (especially be it someone local/within my mileage) presented itself! Thank you for carefully reading my profile. I look forward to a meet and greet with you and your fuzzy friend/s. I am currently working from home so I am pretty flexible where as time is concerned. Occasionally I will run to the store and back but it also depends on the dog so if I had to prepare myself a few days before your dogs arrival, I have no problem with this at all. I am flexible where this is concerned :) Let’s talk…maybe there is something I have missed in my profile but I try to be as descriptive as possible. I appreciate you taking the time to read everything I have written. Quite the novel, I am aware but I feel as a fellow pet owner myself, that you would want to know everything about who your pet is spending quality time with so I try to be as thorough as possible 🙂 Please see everything I have written on top as I believe I have covered all my bases where this is concerned. Thank you again for taking the time reading my full profile! Any questions I’d be happy to answer them, just please shoot me a message :)
“Isabella was great! Very attentive, flexible schedule and most of all extremely caring for our dog. 10/10, highly recommend and we plan to work with Isabella in the future.”
About: I absolutely adore all kinds of animals I’ve been caring for all types since I was 10 and I’ve had two dogs my whole life which I love very much I can be very flexible with scheduling so if theres specific times you need I will be able to accommodate you but my preferred times would be 11-3 or after 3 I have a bunch of dogs toys , dog beds, water and food bowls , a puppy pool if they can swim and a bunch more!
About: I've had small to medium sized dogs but that does not limit me to any other sizes. I enjoy having dogs as company and playing with them till we’re both tired. I work from home and will go to the office at least once a month if needed. My work schedule is 9AM-5PM but I would be able to take your dog outside throughout the day. I live in a friendly and quiet neighborhood and parks are also available near me. I have the flexibility to drive any distance between 5-15 miles away from my home. Please require any special instructions that you would like followed for your dog and any health concerns they may have. Can't wait you meet you and your furry friend! Thank you for your consideration.
“Sara is wonderful! I’m so grateful for her. She’s very reliable and trustworthy and truly loves what she does. This is very obvious from the pictures and videos she shares on walks and/or dog sitting! I’d recommend her to anyone. She also is available often when I need her at the last minute. She’s very kind.”
“Stephanie is very responsive and takes great care of my pup. She not only walks him but will stay for a bit to make sure he is okay before leaving. My dog loves when she takes him out.”
About: since the age i was one i always had dogs i grew up always having dogs. With that i became the person that always watched other peoples dogs. Everyone has always told me i have a secret way with animals and my dream was to always become a vet to help animals. I love animals. Animals have always been special to me. Anytime i go to anyone’s house the first thing i do is go to their pets. Pet care fits into my daily schedule because I have two big dogs and my dogs are my best friends. I love to walk them, play with them, nap with them, and i buy them alot of toys. To me having a dog best friend is one of the most important things. I keep my dogs on a schedule they eat twice a day. My dogs love to run around in my yard and love playing catch. I care for them by feeding them, playing with them, and walking them. I have watched other dogs at my house and they get along with my dogs very well.
About: I’ve supported pet owners by providing reliable care that focuses on routine, safety, and comfort. I’ve worked with pets of varying energy levels and personalities and understand how consistency, patience, and clear communication help animals feel at ease while away from their owners. My availability allows me to dedicate consistent time throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and extended care. I plan my day carefully to ensure pets receive dependable attention without feeling rushed or overstimulated. I prioritize clear routines, secure spaces, and careful supervision. I follow instructions exactly as provided, keep environments clean, and remain observant of behavior changes so pets stay safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.
About: Hi, my name is Melissa & i am a huge animal lover ! I’ve been raised with pets since about the age of 2 or 3 and ever since I’ve had a wide variety of pets including cats, dogs, birds, lizards and many other exotics. I have a big soft spot for injured animals and I’m always taking in hurt animals and rehabilitating them. I’ve been vegan for about 4 years and i believe in standing up for animals as much as possible because they are innocent, helpless creatures who cannot speak for themselves. I believe there is only one way for animals to be treated, and that’s as a priority. So, whether you are too busy with your own schedule or need a little get away, don’t hesitate to let me meet your fuzzy friends and make your life a bit easier ! i have somewhat of a flexible schedule so i’m around pretty often to provide any services for your pets! i already have a dog of my own so im pretty used to following a schedule to accommodate his needs, and i’ll absolutely do the same for your fluffy family members! just give me directions and i can assure you they will be followed with great accuracy! and if there’s any special things you’d like me to do just add that in!
About: I’ve loved dogs since day one. They are all so sweet and kind. I’d love to connect with them and be there for them in any way! I am currently working part time so my schedule is pretty open. I don’t necessarily have any preference as to the time and day that is needed. The way I would care for them would be with the up most respect. It is your home and your pet and I would treat it as you’d treat them.
About: I had a chocolate lab for 17 years and I loved caring for her. I had started WAG after, and cared for so many pets. I started off just walking dogs. Then after I ran with them, boarded them, and did drop ins. I love caring for them and making sure they’re safe and happy! I am currently in nursing school and have classes in the mornings but I am always available to walk them and give them the attention they need. As well, summer is coming up and would love to help out! I don’t live with any pets so no need to worry about other animals. I live in a house with a porch as well as a front yard, but it isn’t closed in. My house is cozy and comfortable for pets to come and hangout!
About: I have 5 years of experience with a big dog. I’m comfortable with all kinds of dogs. Love to walk and find new spots for pups I am a full time student at Rutgers university. I have early mornings and evening available because of my full time schedule at school and my commute there I do not have a fenced in yard at the moment. I am comfortable with fenced in yards that the dogs are comfortable with as well as dog parks.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I am a little girl. I grew up with a bunny, then with a dog which we still have since 2012. I’ve been feeding her morning and night, taking her on walks, playing with her, cuddling, etc. Ive since moved out and now have a dog and 2 cats of my own. I can’t picture a life without some furry friends! I’m currently working a 9-5 and able to take care of some pets and host boardings overnight and after my shifts. Although I am looking to resign and eventually just work some side hustles so I can have more time at home with my daughter and spend more time with the pets!! I have a fenced yard as well as a bunch of pet toys, along with a friendly dog and two friendly cats for your furry friends to play with!

“Vince is amazing. He put my mind at peace with just 1 meet & greet visit. It’s like Magik returned from Hogwarts University 🪄dog edition. Can’t wait to use Vincent’s services again.”
“Highly recommend! William hosted my diabetic/blind senior doggy and took such good care of him. William is very detail oriented, asked great questions showing he truly cares. He sent regular updates, went above and beyond making sure my dog eats and made me feel better about leaving him behind. Pugsy will definitely be coming back! Thanks William!”
“Thank you Bhavani for taking care of my pup Rajah, I was so anxious leaving him for the weekend but happy he got to stay in a home where he was well taken care of and had a lot of play time! Thank you also for constantly keeping me updated with pictures and videos!”
“Had a 5 day vacation and couldn’t really find anybody last minute to watch my dog for me. I discovered rover and came across Jose’s profile, we connected very easy and he was able to assist watching my dog for me. Jose’s services are great he communicates very well and he kept me updated each day with photos and videos of my dog and i can tell by looking at the photos and videos my dog really enjoyed himself. he enjoyed himself so much that he seemed so sad when we were in the car pulling off from jose’s house after pickup. Jose has his own pets as well which my dog got along exceptionally well with ,if you have pets and want to work on their socializing skills i definitely recommend you guys board or let your dog spend a day with jose . I most definitely will be bringing my pup back to Jose next vacation and i recommend you guys do you as well you will not be disappointed i promise!!”
“The best dog sitter that anybody could ever have. He’s very loving to my animals. He does all extra things that I don’t ask him to do like baths. I do believe he plays with them and has a good time with them and makes them feel at home. I know if she’s watching them that they’re safe.”
“Nan is a warm and caring person, and one of the best pet sitter I’ve ever met. She not only takes excellent care of the dogs but also provides them with companionship, making them feel completely at home. The nearby park is convenient for playtime, and unlike some dog sitter ，she gives dogs plenty of space to roam freely. Her family also loves dogs and treats them as friends. You can trust Nan wholeheartedly with your dog’s care.”
“Maureen always takes such wonderful care of our fur baby. She goes above and beyond to make sure Charlie feels loved and happy. We’re so grateful for her kindness.”
“Lorrie watched my two pups for 4 days the second week of April. It was apparent from our initial meeting in March that she really loves animals and that she knows her stuff. Lorrie indicated that her previous career was a veterinary technician for many years, which put my mind at ease. Her home is set up perfectly to attend to the needs of the dogs in her care. The home features a large, fenced in yard which allows dogs to get their outdoor time several times a day. She sent me daily text updates which included photos of my dogs. Being 600 miles away, the daily updates were very much appreciated. When I picked up my pups they were happy, healthy and they both gave her farewell kisses. Nice! I highly recommend Lorrie to anyone considering a pet sitter while you are out of town.”
“Dottie had another fabulous stay with Jaimie. Jaimie took excellent and diligent care of her and she came home happy and tired after playing with Ollie. Can’t wait for our next visit. Thank you!”
“I boarded my 2 cats with Nervana for 8 days and she took great care of them! She was happy to give my boy his pill 2x daily and made sure to send me pic and video updates. Based on the videos I saw, the cats warmed up to her very well (even my girl who is usually terrified of 99% of people lol.) I would definitely recommend her to anyone else needing care for their pets in the future!”
“Lucas and Katherine were phenomenal! They sent videos and pictures the entire time my baby was with them. You could tell they really love dogs and she was so happy to be with them. It was great to know that she was being well cared for and loved.”
“Jacqueline was amazing! Was our first time ever boarding our 14 month old flat coated retriever and Jackie kept our mind at ease the entire time. Everyday we would get updates and photos. It’s obvious that Jackie loves dogs and we would 100% use Her again! Thank you!!”
“This is my 4th time using Ekaterina and her family and they are all so wonderful! They are the only people I trust to leave my Loretta with. She constantly sends pictures and updates. My Loretta gets endless love, kisses, and snuggles with her children! If you want the best possible care and love for your pet, please go with Ekaterina!”
“Yanina was so welcoming. Thank you so much for taking care of my little princess! She sent pictures and kept us informed of how she was adjusting. I came back to a happy, energized puppy with good behavior. Definitely will rebook her all the time. Thank you!”
“Second time leaving our 1 year old golden with them. Definitely trust Paul, very accommodating and alleviated our anxiety of leaving our dog for a few nights. Will definitely use again.”
“Harley was fantastic! She totally accommodated my 10 year old Labrador, who’s not the easiest to care for. She really loved him and did her best to make him feel at home and comfortable. She was very communicative about everything and sent lots of photos. Her house was clean and large enough for a 100lb lab. Her yard is big and fenced in. We will def be rebooking her! Thanks Leny 🫶🏼”
“Lineth was so kind and a great interim doggie parent. I felt completely safe with my 12-year-old at her home, knowing that she would be cared for as if she were her own. I got pictures and updates that made me feel less guilty about leaving her, as we went on our trip. Thanks, Lineth! Karmella says, see you soon!”
