“Monica and her family was great with my Giovanna, I’m already to book my next stay with her for my two week vacation. We received updates on how our puppy was doing. She went on walks it was like she was home away from home. So much better than placing her in a kennel. Monica and family will be my puppy new extended family. I can now relax while going away :-) thank you Monica for taking such good care of Giovanna”
“We were in a bind and Leila stepped up to help us out. We were super nervous to leave our dog with a stranger but it wound up being a great decision. She was excellebt with our old guy and she sent us photos and kept in touch. Will be booking again.”
“Wow, what a great experience! Was smooth from beginning to end. Abner was able to accomodate our request to have our dog stay solo last minute which put us at ease because she can be reactive to other animals. She can be anxious and take time to warm up but Abners peaceful demeanor made drop off so easy, zero stress or barking! She just skipped right into his house and barely looked back to say goodbye😆. Abner went above and beyond with lots of photo updates and even gave her a bath because she was so interested in his tub! Abner provided walks and completely spoiled our dog with no crate time and cuddles..thank you so much Abner for your gentle and attentive service. You are our go-to next time we book a trip to Great Wolf Lodge!”
“Hannelie took excellent care of jax and took him for walks everyday and sent updates of how he was doing. Would definitely recommend as a matter of fact she is taking care of jax again.”
“Brewster was very happy with virlyne and Vanessa. I was more than happy with the photos they sent daily to keep me connected to Brewster. Their manners and kindness was more than extraordinary, towards me and Brewster. I will definitely utilize their services again, in the future Thank you young ladies Andrea”
“So accommodating and friendly. This was our first time boarding, and pretty instantly we knew our pup was in good hands! The pictures were so appreciated, and we’re incredibly grateful for the care our dog was given.”
“Amazing puppy sitters for my babies. I got multiple pictures every day. Plenty of walks. And my pups were so happy and content when I picked them up. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟”
About: I will give your dog(s) my undivided attention. They will be fed and taken for walks. I will engage with them throughout the day, as I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I will care for them just like they were my own pet. Being a dog owner myself, I understand how much they mean to their families. In case of an emergency at home or work, I will provide the necessary care for your dogs. I have a unique bond with every dog I meet and truly enjoy their company, ensuring they receive plenty of affection. In the past, I have cared for my family's dogs, feeding and walking them nearly every day. I am knowledgeable about how to handle dogs safely. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to dog-sit and walk the dogs entrusted to my care. Pet caring is one of my passion because they bring so much joy to our lives. With this being said after work I do appreciate the love my fur babies give me. I love to play and run with fur babies and I also get my weekly exercise in! I have a yard that they can run freely in. They will have access to my balcony for when they need cooling and some quiet.
“I genuinely do not have words for how amazing Shantell and Jose were with our puppy. So beyond communicative, sent so many pictures and videos and not only through that but once we got home we could tell she had the time of her life. I couldn't recommend Shantell more - if you have the opportunity, BOOK HER. We never once had a single doubt about our dog's safety and happiness. Thank you Shantell and Jose!!!!!”
“What a GREAT experience. Sam stayed with Michael & Tracy for a whole week and they were very responsive when we asked how she was doing, and sent pictures of her living her best life. Most of the time, Sam comes home from any stay with a little bit of hair loss and having lost some weight -- this is due to her anxiety, and rarely the fault of where she is boarded. But she looked exactly the same way as when she was dropped off. She was so clearly loved and comfortable staying at their house. Michael & Tracy have a client for life!”
“Roosevelt took great care of Tank! He sent us tons of pictures and updates, and I felt confident that Tank was safe and happy while we were gone. We will definitely be using Roosevelt again!”
“We recently had the pleasure of having Nicolas care for our beloved dog, Mazzie, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From start to finish, it was clear that our pup was in great hands. Mazzie went on long walks, had incredible play time with their dog Sinatra, and we received tons of wonderful pictures, making our time away. It was evident that they were genuinely passionate about animals, and Mazzie was instantly comfortable, which gave us such peace of mind. Overall, we couldn’t recommend this pet sitter highly enough. They treated Mazzie as if she were their own, and we will definitely be using them again in the future. If you’re looking for reliable, compassionate, and attentive care for your furry family member, look no further!”
“My spoiled pup had a great time with Debra. She made him feel like he was visiting Auntie Debra and he even ate while he was there, which means he felt very comfortable with her. I highly recommend her and will be using her services again soon.”

“Zeus loved his stay. I enjoy receiving multiple pictures of my fur baby during his boarding. Abner went out of his way to pick up Zeus, for which I appreciated, and reduced some of my pre travel stress. I will be using him again.”
“Brittney did a great job taking care of our two kitties. She showed up as agreed, spent time making sure all was well, and was great at communicating any questions or concerns. Will definitely book again!”

“Madelyn was wonderful and took great care of my fur baby even when my driveway was covered in snow and also helped us out over Christmas! Our cat is a needy boy and usually complains a lot when we leave but he didn’t seem to mind this time. Would definitely recommend!”
“Absolutely the most phenomenal, amazing & loving service you could ever get for your fur babies. Both my kitties stayed for a week & every day I woke up to videos of them and was updated throughout the day. Vanessa & Virlyn are so attentive and so sweet, they will absolutely be seeing my cats & I again. 1000/10 would definitely recommend!!!”

She took photos to show me anything important and Luna seemed happy and healthy when I came back. I'm very happy and would definitely recommend Kayla. I will absolutely be rebooking her next time I go away.”
About: I have taken care of close friends and families pets for years and I have decided to expand and see if anyone else needs care for their animals! I have plenty of experience working with animals. I started out as a farm aid at Turtleback zoo a couple years ago and left to go work with marine mammals in Florida. When I came back to NJ I went to Cape May and worked as a full time seasonal animal keeper. After my 6 months were up I went back to Turtleback zoo as a Relief Keeper. I left the zoo field December 2021 and started working part time at a local vet clinic where I work with all size dogs and cats. I know how to give medications also if your dog or cat have any special needs! I currently work full time, first shift for a laboratory. I also work part time at a vets office but when I am dog sitting I do not just do that your pets have more of my attention and are my priority. If I were to stay at your house I can walk your dog around your neighborhood or take them on local hiking trails! Whatever works best! I am here to care for your animals just as I would my own. My dogs Cooper and Ginger are very spoiled and I can guarantee yours will be also! Depending on the needs of your pet will be the deciding factor of our daily routine. We can talk about that more in details if you decide to message me! I have two mini dachshunds that are friendly and love to walk/hike! If your dog is friendly and adventurous I would bring them along for the fun!
About: Cats have always held a special place in my heart, and with experience caring for multiple cats of my own, I understand how important patience, gentleness, and routine are for them. Whether your cat is playful, shy, independent, or affectionate, I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. From feeding and playtime to cuddles and companionship, I’ll care for your cat like they’re part of my own family.
“Tammie was an absolute lifesaver while I was on vacation! She came three times a day to care for my cat, including administering oral medication, which can be a challenge—but she handled it with total professionalism and care. She was always on time, incredibly communicative, and sent regular updates that really helped me relax while I was away. When our flight was unexpectedly delayed, she didn’t hesitate to make additional last-minute visits to make sure my cat was safe and comfortable. Her flexibility and dedication truly went above and beyond. It’s such a relief to know my pet is in such capable and compassionate hands. I will 100% be booking with Tammie again and can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“Thalia accepted my reservation right before we had to leave for a trip and my cat needed medication to be given 2x a day. Thalia took care of it no problem, sent me photos where I could see how the eye was looking and made me feel at ease. My cat was so happy, healthy and well cared for. I will definitely be rebooking. Highly recommend”
“Nate took good care of my 2 senior cats while I was away on vacation. He did daily drop in visits, litter box, fed/watered, gave 1 daily medication, and spent time with them. He also sent pics and gave me updates. My house was clean when I got home. Nate was prompt to respond on the site, we met in advance at a public eatery to get to know each other, and he came to my house after to meet my cats and get a basic run down on their needs. He was very pleasant, easy to talk to, and my cats took an instant liking to him. I would highly recommend him to others and will hire him again in the future! It's so hard to find good, reliable yet reasonable pet care. Thank you so much Nate!!!”
“Logan was wonderful with our two kitties. They are very shy and skittish and Logan was patient and kind and wisely waited for them to make friends in their own time. Now they love him! He was great at keeping us informed, dependable, and helpful. He did everything we asked and spent lots of time with our pets. He even took care of some outside snow and ice for us! We will definitely request Logan again. Very happy pet parents!”

“We canceled with Connie because of change of plans but offered to pay for half the chargers, but she refused saying that she wouldn’t accept any money if she didn’t perform the services. We look forward to using Connie in the future. She was very easy to deal with and very kind. Sure, she would’ve taken really good care of Cody.”
“Super sweet, professional, and accommodating- loved the updates and my pup had the best time!! I think my dog has a new best friend! 😂🤍 thanks for taking such good care of our little guy”

About: I have cared for all kinds of animals, but predominantly dogs and cats. I’ve nannied for years and cared for family pets with love. Dogs and cats are really God’s gift to humans! I work from home and I can also take my laptop with me anywhere in a pinch, and I know I also will have plenty of breaks through the day to care for the pups or cats! I live in an apartment where animas are welcome on the cozy sofa for lots of snuggles. Walks and dog park could be a good option or just potty trips outside and relaxing indoors with some walks in between. And play!
“What a gift! Very organized and very knowledgeable. She eased my fears with her constant videos. Excellent communicator and responds almost immediately. You can immediately tell that she has been working with pets and pet owners for a while. My dog was scard at first...by day 2...her tail was wagging high in the air and I knew she was ok. When we got home...she was the same bubbly dog I knew. Highly recommend”

Over the years many dogs and cats have came and went each showing their individuality. Each pet has a need which will be met according to your standards. If you book me for a Board or even a day stay I promise to have you and your furry friend 100% satisfied. I can also walk them,and do drop bys. Your pet will always have someone around in my home(if they like children). It can be hard to find someone as trustworthy as it is for me. They are just as much children and finding the right person takes time. I'm willing to show I am trustworthy And will treat them as my own. I have 3 floors,so if any pets I care for needs personal space I can accommodate. We also have a spare room where they can relax. Due to health I can only take dogs up to 18 lbs.

About: Since pre-teen, I grew up with dogs mostly as my parents had several dogs in the house. I love to care for dogs and make sure they’re happy and loved. Before Rover, I’ve walked and looked after neighbors’ dogs and owners have confided in me to care for them while they are away (i.e., family vacations, business trips, etc…). Currently my job is fully remote and I can mainly dog-sit during the day on a weekly basis. During the weekends, I can board, house sit and help in any way that I can with advance notice. My apartment is pet friendly and it is safe environment for dogs of any type. Apartment has easy dog access and Center City neighborhood is very safe. I live in between Rittenhouse Square Park and Washington Square park (~5mins walk).
“Leila was amazing, this was the first time Ash had been away from us since we got him last year. He was nervous and made a mess at Leila's, she was so kind about it! We are working on his anxiety and she made it much easier for us to leave him for the day. We will absolutely be using her again!”
“We had a great experience with Rochelle! She was so nice and sent many videos of our girl throughout the day! Our mind was at ease know she was comfortable with her daycare!”
“Maria and her husband watched our pup while we went to great wolf lodge for the day ave it worked out perfect! They were located close by and were easy to work with seeing we had to pick up earlier than expected. Would recommend to anyone who needs someone to watch their pup.”
“Getting better, my dogs, not the sitter. Our dogs are not used to being away from us or from home. We are prepping them for a weekend away. They did better today. They like Jahada and go with her easily, it's my mama dog who is still a little anxious. She will just pant though. Not exhibiting any other bad behaviors. She will use the bathroom while with Jahada, both poop and pee, which is fantastic because if she were to feel completely uneasy, she wouldn't do either. We're about to attempt an overnight stay! Thanks Jahada.”
About: I’ve been around dogs and animals in general since a young age, with my grandpa running a small farm. I’ve grown up around breeds like German Shepherds, and have always taken care of friends’ dogs while they were in vacation. I learned a lot from my fiancé, who ran a successful dog walking business in New York City Give yourself peace of mind, your dog is in safe, loving, caring hands. I’m currently working from home with a special schedule which I take advantage of as it frees up a lot of time during the day. Pet care fits into it quite easily, as I have a daily routine I follow which includes dog walks, time with the dogs outside and of course feedings (and tending medicine when needed). I have a home situated on a quiet, secluded private lot that backs up onto a river with several trails within a short walking distance. The yard is secluded, well shaded and has ample space. I take care to be active with the dogs, so I usually toss frisbees or play fetch several times a day to keep them content. I walk my dogs twice around the neighborhood. Besides home, I have a number of dog-friendly trails and parks both in East Stroudsburg and nearby where I bring the dogs for some quality time outside. This includes hiking on trails and in the mountains, bringing the dogs to rivers or lakes, I mix it up each week depending on the weather conditions. Any time I go on an outdoor adventure, I make sure I have the owner’s consent. Their dogs will always be hydrated and have a snack. I only ask that if your dog has specific dietary needs or is taking medication, that you provide me with the necessary information and schedule. I have two modes of transport for dogs, both of which offer plenty of space, safety and comfort for the dogs while en route.
About: I'm a natural empath and caretaker with extensive experience in animal care. Growing up, my family always had multiple dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, chickens, and more! My entire life I've always been around animals and taking care of them - I'm frequently called an animal whisperer. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets since a young age. When I was a senior in High School, I shadowed my neighborhood vet. I've worked professionally for a dog walking company, at a doggy-daycare, with a dog physical therapist, as an animal caretaker at an animal sanctuary, and I've lived on a ranch in Mexico where I cared for animals. I'm committed to providing the highest level of care for your beloved companions! I am very experienced with animals, whether it be sitting, walking, caretaking, puppies, senior care, administering medication, etc. I had two 18-year-old kitties who both passed recently, so I’m very adept with cat care too! My time is extremely flexible and my personal schedule can be made around your pet's needs. I’m currently in a place of transition after a long spiritual awakening, tons of self-healing, and recent grieving after losses in my family. I am responsible, reliable, and have great attention to detail. If I'm left with specific guidelines for how to care for your pet in your home they will be met. If not, I can guarantee your pet will still be in great hands! I'm an extremely intuitive caretaker and my experience with animals will ensure all your loved one's needs are fully met.

“Kayla made my first experience using Rover great! She made me feel comfortable during our meet & greet the day before services. She was communicative and included plenty of pictures to let me know how things were going. Overall I would definitely book services with her again!”

About: Hi! I’m Brooke, and I’m a lifelong animal lover who understands that pets are family. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines—from relaxed couch companions to active walkers who love to explore. I’m dependable, communicative, and attentive to detail, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog needs long walks, playtime, feeding, or just some extra love while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I pride myself on sending regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I’d love to meet you and your furry friend! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I intentionally structure my schedule to allow dedicated time for walks, drop-in visits, and consistent care without rushing. This flexibility allows me to be reliable, punctual, and fully present during each visit. I care for pets by following their established routines and prioritizing safety, comfort, and individual needs—whether I’m in your home for a drop-in visit or out on a walk. I carefully review all instructions related to feeding, walking routes, harnesses, training cues, and any special care needs. For drop-in visits, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get bathroom breaks, exercise, and plenty of attention. I also check the home environment to ensure everything is secure and clean before I leave. For walks, I focus on safe leash handling, awareness of surroundings, and pacing the walk to your dog’s energy level and comfort. Communication is important to me, so I always provide updates after each visit or walk so you know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make every experience calm, consistent, and positive—for both you and your pet.
“Isabella came on super short notice and did a great job with my Rottweiler mix. She even came over within a couples hours of booking to meet and greet prior to the appointment. Thank you!”
About: Hi! My name is Deja, and I’m someone who has loved and cared for animals my entire life. I grew up with both cats and dogs and currently have experience caring for multiple pets of my own, including 4 cats and 2 dogs. Over the last 1–2 years, I’ve also gained hands-on pet care experience outside of my own home. As a therapist, compassion, patience, and attentiveness are a huge part of who I am, and I bring those same qualities into the care I provide for every pet. What makes me stand out is the level of care, patience, and emotional attentiveness I bring to animals. I genuinely see pets as beings with feelings, emotions, and unique personalities, and I treat them with the same kindness and respect I would give another person. Being a therapist has strengthened my ability to be calm, observant, trustworthy, and responsive to individual needs, which helps pets feel comfortable and secure around me. I don’t just “watch” pets — I build connection, provide comfort, and make sure they feel loved while you’re away. I recently earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and currently work part-time as a therapist while continuing to grow my caseload. Pet sitting is something I genuinely enjoy and intentionally include in my schedule because caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. Since I work part time, I’m able to dedicate focused attention, patience, and quality care to the pets I work with rather than treating it like a rushed side job. When caring for pets in your home, I strive to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and emotional needs, so I approach each animal with compassion, empathy, and attentiveness. Whether your pet needs playtime, comfort, companionship, or gentle patience, I will treat them with the same love and care I would give my own pets.
About: I have taken care of close friends and families pets for years and I have decided to expand and see if anyone else needs care for their animals! I have plenty of experience working with animals. I started out as a farm aid at Turtleback zoo a couple years ago and left to go work with marine mammals in Florida. When I came back to NJ I went to Cape May and worked as a full time seasonal animal keeper. After my 6 months were up I went back to Turtleback zoo as a Relief Keeper. I left the zoo field December 2021 and started working part time at a local vet clinic where I work with all size dogs and cats. I know how to give medications also if your dog or cat have any special needs! I currently work full time, first shift for a laboratory. I also work part time at a vets office but when I am dog sitting I do not just do that your pets have more of my attention and are my priority. If I were to stay at your house I can walk your dog around your neighborhood or take them on local hiking trails! Whatever works best! I am here to care for your animals just as I would my own. My dogs Cooper and Ginger are very spoiled and I can guarantee yours will be also! Depending on the needs of your pet will be the deciding factor of our daily routine. We can talk about that more in details if you decide to message me! I have two mini dachshunds that are friendly and love to walk/hike! If your dog is friendly and adventurous I would bring them along for the fun!
“It’s obvious from the minute you communicate with Thalia she loves animals. She even works for a shelter to help animals in need. Thalia was dependable, a great communicator & very conscientious. I was gone both times can’t wait to meet her!”
About: Taking care of your pet, as if you were taking care of my one year old, beagle mix puppy that I do have at home! Currently I have a very easy, open and flexible schedule. You and yours will be my #1 priority. My routine always works around you, and your furry friend. Depending on what services are needed, I am very open for different service options. I have no problem crating animals if needed/wanted. Treat/feed options as well.
“Madelyn has been very communicative and supportive while working with Dio! I greatly appreciate her patience and kindness when working with Dio who is nervous around new people. I will definitely be working with her again!”
About: I have always had two dogs since I was born. Coming to college and not having any to take care of or be with has been a downer so having me take care of your dogs should be no worry to you and it will be mentally nurturing for me! I am a student and I am free Tuesday-Fridays anytime after 4 and on weekends and Mondays I am free all day long to be there for your pets. I live in an apartment building but there is a park right down the street that I can take them too and a small pocket park outside of my apartment building
“Logan was wonderful - easy to communicate with, reliable, and did a great job caring for our newfie, Coda. His flexibility in assisting us when we were driving through the area was so appreciated. Would highly recommend.”

“Wow, what a great experience! Was smooth from beginning to end. Abner was able to accomodate our request to have our dog stay solo last minute which put us at ease because she can be reactive to other animals. She can be anxious and take time to warm up but Abners peaceful demeanor made drop off so easy, zero stress or barking! She just skipped right into his house and barely looked back to say goodbye😆. Abner went above and beyond with lots of photo updates and even gave her a bath because she was so interested in his tub! Abner provided walks and completely spoiled our dog with no crate time and cuddles..thank you so much Abner for your gentle and attentive service. You are our go-to next time we book a trip to Great Wolf Lodge!”
“Brewster was very happy with virlyne and Vanessa. I was more than happy with the photos they sent daily to keep me connected to Brewster. Their manners and kindness was more than extraordinary, towards me and Brewster. I will definitely utilize their services again, in the future Thank you young ladies Andrea”
“So accommodating and friendly. This was our first time boarding, and pretty instantly we knew our pup was in good hands! The pictures were so appreciated, and we’re incredibly grateful for the care our dog was given.”
“Amazing puppy sitters for my babies. I got multiple pictures every day. Plenty of walks. And my pups were so happy and content when I picked them up. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟”
About: I will give your dog(s) my undivided attention. They will be fed and taken for walks. I will engage with them throughout the day, as I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I will care for them just like they were my own pet. Being a dog owner myself, I understand how much they mean to their families. In case of an emergency at home or work, I will provide the necessary care for your dogs. I have a unique bond with every dog I meet and truly enjoy their company, ensuring they receive plenty of affection. In the past, I have cared for my family's dogs, feeding and walking them nearly every day. I am knowledgeable about how to handle dogs safely. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to dog-sit and walk the dogs entrusted to my care. Pet caring is one of my passion because they bring so much joy to our lives. With this being said after work I do appreciate the love my fur babies give me. I love to play and run with fur babies and I also get my weekly exercise in! I have a yard that they can run freely in. They will have access to my balcony for when they need cooling and some quiet.
“I genuinely do not have words for how amazing Shantell and Jose were with our puppy. So beyond communicative, sent so many pictures and videos and not only through that but once we got home we could tell she had the time of her life. I couldn't recommend Shantell more - if you have the opportunity, BOOK HER. We never once had a single doubt about our dog's safety and happiness. Thank you Shantell and Jose!!!!!”
“What a GREAT experience. Sam stayed with Michael & Tracy for a whole week and they were very responsive when we asked how she was doing, and sent pictures of her living her best life. Most of the time, Sam comes home from any stay with a little bit of hair loss and having lost some weight -- this is due to her anxiety, and rarely the fault of where she is boarded. But she looked exactly the same way as when she was dropped off. She was so clearly loved and comfortable staying at their house. Michael & Tracy have a client for life!”
“Roosevelt took great care of Tank! He sent us tons of pictures and updates, and I felt confident that Tank was safe and happy while we were gone. We will definitely be using Roosevelt again!”
“My spoiled pup had a great time with Debra. She made him feel like he was visiting Auntie Debra and he even ate while he was there, which means he felt very comfortable with her. I highly recommend her and will be using her services again soon.”
“Charlie had so much with Jack and Joanne that he came home and crashed for four hours straight. He was so happy when we arrived, he snuck up behind Jack, tapped him with his front paws, and licked him. He doesn't even do that to me. Thanks so much!”
“Christina & Alan are great! I boarded my puppy at her house for 9 days while on vacation. This is my second time using Christina and Alan. I will definitely call on them again when needed. My little Mazy loved playing with her 3 Rottweilers. She actually learned to be a little more obedient being around the other dogs and Christina continuing her puppy training”
“This was the best dog sitting experience we have ever had, by far!! Jake and Mischa went above and beyond anything we could have expected, and took great care of our pup. We have a Saint Bernard who can be a bit much for some, but Jake and Mischa were amazing with him! They also put our minds at ease with how well they handled his food allergies and medicine. Finally, they were great with sending pictures/videos and keeping us updated. Archie can’t wait to go back and play with his buddy Chopper!”
“Leaving my two boys (dogs) behind was made a lot easier knowing they were in good hands. This was the second time Sheila watched my dogs. Communication was great, and I could tell how well she cared for them. Thank you for letting me enjoy my vacation without having to worry about Mookie and Bobby!”
“Katie provided wonderful care for our dog at her residence while we were away. She took the time to get to know myself and my dog prior to her stay. It was our lab's first time boarding and Katie sent updates regularly throughout the day which helped ease the transition. Katie's professionalism, passion and love for the animals was evident throughout the entire experience. Highly recommend!”
“Julie took excellent care of my Otis. She would send updates from time to time and i never felt worried about Otis while away on vacation. I would re-book w Julie if I needed someone to take care of Otis.”
