“Savana has been a godsend for my puppies! I work long hours and didn’t want to put my pets in a kennel. Since our first meet and greet, Savana has been professional, wonderful with my four-legged friends And they look forward to seeing her on every visit.”


“Eva did an amazing job watching our pup! She was very responsive and adaptable. She took great care of our rambunctious 5 month old puppy for a weekend! She sent lots of updates and pictures and we came home to a very very happy puppy! Can't say enough good things!”


“That’s such a sweet detail — here’s the updated review with that added in: ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ She was absolutely wonderful with Ozzie, Molly, and Pita. Her calm, low-key energy was just what they needed. When I got home, everyone was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. She even took the time to run water for Pita, which he loves. It was such a thoughtful touch! It gave me real peace of mind knowing they were in such capable and caring hands. I’ll definitely be using her again.”


“Teresa like always was very good with communicating. She sent me pics and videos of my dog constantly and asked questions to make sure she was taking care of him correctly. I felt very calm leaving my dog under Teresa’s care!”


“We could not be happier with Jade! She came to our rescue when a kennel reservation fell through and stayed in our home for four nights with our eight month old Samoyed puppy and three year old bengal cat while we traveled out of state to a family wedding. Jade exudes an immense amount of compassion and sensitivity, as well as the utmost professionalism. Her communication is awesome, and her experience/knowledge as a petsitter and caretaker of animals really shows. She took remarkable care of our beloved cat and dog, and just as importantly she cared beautifully for our house while we were away. This was our first time working with a pet sitter, and actually opening our home to someone while we weren’t there, which was totally nerve-wracking! We are so grateful that Jade was the person we connected with.”


“I HIGHLY recommend Anastasia to be your fur-child sitter! I will definitely rebook her in the future! I had to go out of the country and had no care for my beloved dog and cats. Frantic, my colleague recommended Rover. I was skeptical because I never used a pet sitter before. But I took the chance and was pleased. Anastasia was very prompt, kind and professional. She listened to what the needs of my pets were and catered to their individual personalities. She sent me frequent pictures and videos of the day and really tended to them. Anastasia was so involved, playful and loving with my them that once I returned, I can tell her presence was missed. She was playful, caring, attentive and energetic with my fur-children. Without hesitation, I HIGHLY recommend Anastasia to take care of your fur-child and I will definitely rebook her in the future!”


“Kayla watched our two pups this past weekend and did a fantastic job. She sent pics throughout the visit and kept us updated on how they were doing. You could tell they felt right at home with her! Highly recommend for any of your sitting needs!”

About: Hello! I live in Sussex County, NJ, and have been walking dogs since January 2025 via the Wag app. I am available for drop ins, walks, and pet sitting during the day. Since I have 2 sassy beagle-mixes of my own, I can do overnight stays with some household coordination on my end. I’m currently working part time, so have a flexible schedule! I do my best to only accept bookings where I know I’ll make it not only on time, but a few minutes early. It’s important for me to know what access or limits your pet has in your home, so I like to over communicate with pet parents so I fully understand what makes your pet happy and safe.

“We had Grayson stay in our home when we went on vacation for a week, and she took such good care of our dog, 2 cats, and fish. She checked in with us everyday to update us on how everything was going. Our dog, Pippa, has separation anxiety and for the first couple of days she wasn’t eating great, one time didn’t want to go outside for her walk, and was generally standoffish. Grayson was quick to let us know that she seemed to be having an hard time adjusting, so we were able to advise her on how she could try to make our pup more comfortable. With Grayson’s gentle encouragement and mindfulness to her anxiety triggers, she was able to bring Pippa’s anxiety down and helped her adjust to our absence relatively quickly. We were so happy when Grayson told us that they had started to bond, even having some snuggle time! She was able to take Pippa on some long walks/runs (which we had previously okayed), when our dog typically doesn’t trust relative strangers enough to leave our property with them for walks. I wanted to share all of this to convey how wonderful Grayson is with animals, as evidenced by the bond she was able to create with our anxious pup. It’s so important to have a sitter that can put you at ease when you are entrusting them with your home and beloved pets, and Grayson did just that—and beyond. She immediately let us know when one of our cats knocked something over and broke it, and even offered to replace it for us. She is just a very kind, thoughtful, and respectful person in general, and we definitely got that impression from her upon our very first meeting. We are just thrilled to have found her and will continue to use her services for a long time to come. Grayson, we genuinely appreciate everything and are sending you the biggest thank you!!!”

“Michael is a wonderful dog sitter! He stayed at our home for 3 nights, and took great care of our 3 pups. We received multiple updates with photos daily. We will absolutely ask Michael to dog sit for us again.”


“After a past experience with a less than stellar dog sitter, we were very concerned about leaving Tikka, our 15 year old Malti-poo for 12 days but in Sarah's care, she was absolutely fine! From the first meet and greet when Tikka, who is normally a bit aloof in the beginning, climbed onto the couch with Sarah I felt that she would be in good hands. Throughout our trip (starting before our plane even took off) Sarah emailed with updates and photos letting us know how our pup was doing. Quite a few of our neighbors, in our building and neighborhood, made a point of telling me that they had met Sarah, how much they liked her and that it was clear that Tikka was in good hands. The real proof of what good care Sarah took of Tikka was when we arrived home to find Tikka fast asleep on the couch, close to where Sarah was sitting. While happy to see us, Tikka was not frenetic or upset, as she sometimes gets when left alone even for just a few hours. We hung out and chatted with Sarah before she departed and Tikka happily climbed onto the back of the couch behind Sarahto rest. Clearly she both liked and trusted Sarah! We are thrilled that we found someone that both we and more importantly our dog, like and trust, for future dog sitting. We wholeheartedly recommend Sarah!”


About: With a large yard and work from home schedule I am able to give any pet the attention and care they require. I have had pets, mainly dogs for my entire life and enjoy spending my time with them. I have a corgi that needs a lot of attention since I am home all the time I am able to provide him with the best care. I give my dog daily walks, occasional treats, on time meals and a comfortable schedule that works for me and my dog. I make sure to give my dog plenty of attention, care and love which all dogs require. I also do not believe in putting dogs in cages or keeping them locked up in rooms or anywhere by themselves.

About: I've owned and cared for dogs since I was three years old. I've always loved them! I've worked at a dog boarding kennel for over a year now and I love it! Before that, I worked at a farm with lots of different animals and I've watched/walked dogs on the side for a long time now. I also have experience with cats as well! I'd love to meet your four-legged friends and family! I work part-time at a dog boarding kennel and my hours are different sometimes. I'm either working 7am - 12:30pm OR 3pm - 7pm. I usually work the afternoon shift (3 - 7). Since I have worked with animals a lot, especially dogs, I definitely consider myself pretty educated. Like I said, I do not offer boarding in my own home but I am more than happy to come to yours and offer my services! If you have any questions about anything, always feel free to contact me! :)

“Kimberly was wonderful with our two pups Teddi and Bear! She was so knowledgeable with our 9 week old puppy. She updated us very frequently and was very professional. Thank you so much!”


About: i’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, i have my senior baby who is a 13 year old 80lb american bulldog sweetpie, and a year ago i adopted a border collie/ pitty mix who has grown into a 40lb ball of energy. so i have a good understanding of the different types of dogs and how their breed affects their personalities. me and my girlfriend will be doing this together in case of emergencies and to help. she has the same experience i do & she’s 20. we have to keep my puppy entertained for nearly all hours of the day. she goes to the dog park in the mornings for 2+ hours and we take her on hikes. she loves all dogs and is very well trained in all aspects. she loves playdates! i’m working part-time so we will have to schedule times for potty breaks/visits & for walks. i work 5 days a week all different times. i will treat your puppy like i treat my own. i believe in positive reinforcement with bad behaviors & i can incorporate training into the experience. in my experience i find e-collars & prong collars very rewarding. we can go over the tools that work best for you & ur dog as well as treats you will pre-approve. i only believe in the best for you & ur dogs!!

Kyra L.
“My name is Kelley and I am a board member for Mountain Rottie Rescue. I personally have 4 female dogs that cannot be in the same room. As of 6/23/23 if you want to look at mountainrottierescue.net I have yoshi, gin and tyson. Krya is a volunteer with us and she is AMAZING with my dogs. I do not trust many people to come into my house as if you let the wrong door open I have dogs that do not get along. I COMPLETELTY trust Kyra so much she comes to my house when I am not home and takes 90 pound female rottie Yoshi out to parks and on walks. You need a good grip on Yoshi as she will lunge and pull when seeing other animals. Kyra completely understands the safety of this and has even taken Yoshi for weekends. Krya handles some harder dogs at my house and she loves them all. You would be lucky to have her pet sit for you if you can book her now! She even checks in on how my dogs are doing when she does'nt see them, she truly cares.”
