“Marcy and her family took such loving and wonderful care of our mini poodle Mango! She sent many updates and photos which really set my mind at ease. I could tell mango felt happy and comfortable. I would definitely bring her back any time, highly recommend 🙏”
“Teresa was absolutely wonderful with Max. She kept us updated regularly and sent plenty of sweet photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. This was our first time ever leaving Max with a sitter, and it wasn’t easy—he’s our sweet 17.5-year-old boy and can’t travel with us anymore. I missed him dearly, but knowing he was in such loving and capable hands made all the difference. We’re so grateful to have found Teresa!”
“Tricia is the best! Buddy LOVES her so much and always comes home happy and tired! She is great with sending pictures and updates on his visit and outings. We always feel safe and secure knowing he is in great hands with her and her family! <3”
“Jessica was a great cat sitter for Stanley. She was able to care for him as per my instructions and really reassured me during the stay. Since she has experience with cats, it greatly helped since Stanley can be a little bit difficult at times. If you need a cat sitter I recommend her as she was thoughtful and really helpful for me at a time when I really needed the help.”
“This was our first experience with Desi and Marilyn, We boarded our dogs for 3 days and they received excellent care. It's clear that Desi and Marilyn are dedicated to taking care of pets and they definitely take it seriously. My dogs were well cared for and seemed to have really enjoyed their stay with Desi & Marilyn, I would recommend them for your pets and we will be back.”

I will definitely reach out to Laura for future stays.”

About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life and understand the importance of treating every animal like family. I have hands on experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy level from high energy pups that need structured walks and playtime, to senior dogs who require a gentler approach. I’ve also looked after cats and small animals, and I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, and providing updates to pet parents for peace of mind. ✨ Special Skills • 🐶 Experience with puppies & senior pets • 💊 Can administer oral medications • 🐾 Skilled in leash training and managing high-energy walks • ❤️ Strong intuition for animal behavior & emotional needs • 📸 Happy to provide daily photo updates • 🧽 Clean, respectful, and committed to leaving your home just as you left it • 🚗 Reliable transportation and flexible scheduling I have a very Flexible Full Time Schedule Available. I am Available Weekdays Monday-Friday & Weekends Saturday- Sunday with your pups. Feel free to share and specific instructions or special care needs & allergies. I have a fenced yard for plenty of play time but I also love taking the pups on walks or to the local dog parks if allowed. I like to get anything approved prior as I understand pet anxiety and stress can be possible.
“Darien was an amazing help with AJ. She took great care of him and provided me with pictures and videos everyday. You can tell she enjoys what she does. She is professional and makes sure she understands how to care for your dog. I liked the fact that she had a call with me to get to know who AJ was. This meant a lot as I knew she wanted to make sure he had a great time. I will definitely use her again. I trust her with my pet. She groomed AJ and he smelt soooooo good.”

West Paterson dog parents share their Rover experiences
Tricia was absolutely wonderful with our pup, Lani! This was our first time booking with her, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She clearly has excellent knowledge when it comes to dog introductions and made sure Lani felt comfortable from the start. Her yard is fantastic, spacious, super clean, and thoughtfully designed with a shaded sand pit and a dig zone that Lani loved exploring. We also really appreciated the photo updates throughout the stay! When our flight was unexpectedly canceled, Tricia was incredibly accommodating, even on such short notice. That flexibility meant so much to us. We’re so grateful for her care and would definitely book with her again!
Jenise took good care of our dog and was attentive and receptive to his personality. She did her best to make him feel comfortable, especially when he was anxious during thunderstorms. She sent us plenty of updates and gave us complete peace of mind that our pet was well taken care of while we were away. We are looking forward to leaving Lewis in Jenise's care again.
Michelle is a fantastic dog sitter, she was very friendly and receptive to all of Mochi's behaviors. She was always in close contact, asking about how to make Mochi more comfortable when she was scared during a thunderstorm and making sure she was doing the right things to care for our dog. Her dog Delilah is also very friendly and fluffy and cute. Would definitely book a stay with her again!
