“Savana is kind, professional, and brave. We had an emergency and had 6 dogs at my parents house. She never met our pups but with instructions she went in and took care of all 6! While the pup played a little to hard and hurt his sister, Savana cleaned her up well, lat us know about what was happening. So professional and kind about the situation. I would recommend her services to my family and friends!”


“Meghan was awesome! We had to go to a wedding and we're unsure of whether or not we'd need to stay overnight. She was super flexible and was able to accommodate us for the extra day. My dogs LOVE her and took to her immediately- which says a lot, as my chihuahua is not the friendliest. Will definitely be using her services again. Highly recommend!”


“What an experience. We have never left anyone to take care of our Domino at home. Instead we would take him somewhere out of the comfort of his own home. Daphne truly loves animals and respect her clients. She even went above and beyond by bringing in our mail. I would refer her and Rover to all our friends ONLY because of our experience with Daphne. 10 stars AMAZING CARING RESPECTFUL!!!”


“Kathryn was awesome. She took great care of my geriatric dogs and I never worried about them when she was with them. We have used her about 8 times now and will continue booking her.”


“Kimberly did a spectacular job watching our cats. She saved all the worry we typically have when we leave our pets home while away. I recommend Kimberly to anyone who needs pet sitting!”


“Grayson was great. This was my first time leaving Tom for an extended period of time since he has developed some kidney issues. Between that and him being a Velcro cat, I was a little nervous. Grayson was extremely communicative and timely and alleviated any initial concerns I had. Tom is doing great today like we didn’t even miss a beat! I know he was in good hands with her and will definitely try to use her in the future!”


About: I spend a lot of my free time volunteering at a local animal shelter! I have also had 2 German shepherds and 2 cats growing up. I currently work part time, and I don’t work every day. I can easily work around my work schedule to help out with your pups! I will care for your pet in your home. That would be the best for me and your pet! My home is not suitable for pets at the moment.

“Julie was the absolute the best! She went beyond and so much for our Crumpet. Kept in good contact the whole time and was there for us on short notice and on the holiday. Julie is the best! Will definitely use her service again, and recommend her to everyone!”


“We are so grateful to have crossed paths with Madelyn on Rover! She has watched our dogs twice now, both on short notice and has been so accommodating and flexible. She is now at the top of our list any time we need to consider a pet sitter for some time away! Every time our dogs spend time with her, we can tell they were loved and cared for, and our home is always very well taken care of! Madelyn truly goes above and beyond for her clients and is the best pet sitter we have ever had. She communicates thoroughly, and takes the time to make our pets comfortable- especially our special needs deaf dog. I Would absolutely recommend Madelyn to anyone looking for truly exceptional and dedicated service from a person who will love on your pets like her own. She’s truly a step above the rest!”


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.

“I would highly recommend Christine. If you have a high energy dog, she’s the one to call. My dog has some reactivity issues with any type of movement or sound, and she handled her perfectly.”


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!!

About: I have a passion for animals and have accumulated several years of personal pet care experience with dogs, cats, small animals, and reptiles! In addition to my personal experience, I have over 3 years of professional dog care experience working with dogs of all breeds, including puppies, seniors, and those with special needs. I understand the unique care requirements each pet has, and I strive to provide them with the attention, love, and comfort they deserve. I’m committed to ensuring your pets are happy, healthy, and well cared for! I currently work part time, which gives me plenty of time to spend playing with your pups. Feel free to reach out for any inquiries! When caring for pets in my client's home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being! I stick to routines that provide a sense of consistency and security for the pets, whether it’s feeding, walks, or playtime. Building trust is also essential, so I take the time to get to know each pet!

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! :)

About: My name is Emily, I am 24 years old. I have owned dogs my whole life. My family has owned dogs as small as a pug and as large as a Rottweiler. I also have horse care experience as well as birds. My mom worked as a pet sitter on top of her full time job for years and loved it. I am very hard working and willing to be as flexible as I possibly can to accommodate the needs of my clients and their pets. I do not work therefore I am available to care for and love on others pets all day on top of taking care of my own. I do not have any other job, I spend all my time caring for my service dog. Therefore my schedule is super open to care for your pets! Depending on the instructions I am given I will feed your pet, take them for potty breaks, play with them and love on them. I try to take time to get to know the pets I’m working with.

About: I currently own a cat, 2 dogs, and a reptile. Grew up with 3 dogs from 15 to 120lbs along with a cat, hamsters, 6 chinchillas, and at one point a rabbit. I have taken care of friends and families dogs and cats of all ages and sizes along with anything from fish to reptiles. Many of the things needed to be done was general check ins to walk, feed, play, overall mess cleanup of toys or accidents, cage cleaning, and night stays if needed. I have also volunteered at many shelters which consisted of dog walking, kennel cleanings, litter box scooping, and overall playtime. I'm used to bathing when needed and have a great amount of knowledge in many animals as I was also a manager for awhile at a pet store. I'm currently a stay at home mom who only works 2 set nights a week for 4.5 hours. I generally am up between 6am and 7am and don't go to bed until around 11pm. If I'm not home playing with my kids or pets I'm just tidying around the house or cleaning. I am almost always local to the area but if for any reason I'm not I always know ahead of time. After volunteering at shelters and having many animals of my own I have learned that patience is key. When meeting a new animal who may be anxious or scared, sitting quietly with them for awhile and allowing them to come to you on their own terms works the best. Forcing an animal to adjust to a human is not in anyway okay and only makes things harder for them to trust a human. Making sure an animal has a properly secured and adjusted harness or collar before going out is also a big thing I have always checked incase the animal is an escape artist. Before allowing a dog to go outside making sure gates are secured as you never know when one may be unlatched for any reason. When going on walks I am always aware of my surrounding for cars, people, other animals to keep all safe. If an animal is hypersensitive or reactive knowing ahead of time allows me to adjust accordingly.
