“Jennifer was kind enough to accept our pup Cyrus for a last minute overnight. This was our first time leaving our 6 month old puppy and she made us feel very comfortable. She sent lots of pics and was super responsive if we reached out. Would definitely recommend!”


“Thanks again for another great stay! The pups are always exhausted when they come home! Your care for them and communication always makes it easier to travel, knowing they’re in good hands. Can’t recommend Kristie and her family enough!”


“Our dog loved staying with Ellen! He eats and swallows almost everything smaller than a pillow so she worked with us to ensure her home was free of any dangers and he did well! We will absolutely rebook in the future”


“Darien and her family took amazing care of my pup and we are so grateful. We will absolutely be back! She worked with me for a pre meet and greet for myself and my pup. She got my dog to be more comfortable with her food and her surroundings in a new place with ease.”


“Lana was an absolute dream!!! She was able to give our sweet dogs their ear drops when the developed an ear infection right before our trip!!! She sent us pictures and videos throughout our trip and took our puppies on fun adventures. We will absolutely be using her services again!”


“We are so happy we found Corinne and John when we were in need of a sitter last minute for my sisters wedding! They made us feel so comfortable leaving our dog in their hands and our dog was immediately comfortable with them both when she can normally be quite anxious when she knows we are leaving her behind. They were extremely accommodating for our plans and even let us drop off a bit earlier than anticipated which was very appreciative and even in our haste they were sure to ask about any specific details for taking care of our dog and how to make her feel most at home. In addition to the thoughtful daily updates and pictures we received it was evident our girl was well taken care of and very happy and comfortable with both Corrine and John! When we arrived to pick up our girl it was clear she bonded with both of them and continued to come around for their pets and attention even with us being present. We will definitely be returning for future rovers!”


“During the time my Rocky spent with Vivian, she stayed in communication with me on a regular basis, and showed Rocky the same attention and affection that he would have received at home. Vivian is trustworthy, and my Rocky had a great stay with her. I highly recommend her dog sitting service.”


About: Hi! We’re Shirley and Anthony—a dependable husband-and-wife team who absolutely love dogs. I’m a pharmacist, and Anthony is a lifelong dog owner who works from home, so your dog will have round-the-clock care, attention, and affection. We’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities—from playful pups to slow-moving seniors. We’re gentle, patient, and happy to accommodate special routines, quirks, or needs. I have a healthcare background, so I’m comfortable with basic medication instructions and noticing if something seems off. Anthony, who has raised dogs his whole life, is calm, observant, and has a natural way of making dogs feel safe and relaxed. Anthony is home all day, and I have a flexible schedule, so your pup will never be left alone for long. Whether your dog needs a calm place to rest or a buddy for playtime, we’re here to make them feel safe, loved, and cared for like family. We offer a calm, clean home with a large fenced yard for playtime and plenty of supervised outdoor breaks. We also have two friendly resident dogs who can keep your fur baby company—if your dog enjoys social time. If your dog prefers quiet space or needs downtime, we’re happy to keep them separate and can also crate if needed based on your instructions.

“Jaina was very responsive when we had a last minute booking for our dog. He was well taken care of and we got daily updates about how he was doing. Brewster is excited to visit again soon!”


“My shy dog was apprehensive at first but Stephanie knows what she's doing. She took time to ensure he was comfortable in her home, with her pets and with her family. When I came to pick my dog up he kissed her goodbye. Then he kissed her husband and children. That says it all. My dog was in great hands with her and her family. I would 100% recommend her to anyone.”


“Christina was awesome! She took care of Meeko like one of her own and I’m so appreciative of that. She kept me updated throughout his stay and sent us pictures. He will definitely be back to hangout with Bentley and Dixen!”


“Kathleen took excellent care of our dog while we were away. She gave daily updates and was very quick to respond. Overall Kathleen was great to work with. Would definitely recommend and use her services again in the future!”


“Sebastian was a great host for Attie through the holidays! We got updates every day and Sebastian was always super communicative about how she was doing and getting along with the other dogs. Attie loved the outdoor space and she came back to us a happy pup at the end of her stay. We are excited for Attie to stay with Sebastian again the next time we're in the area!”


“Such an amazing experience using Rover. Jaclynn was in constant contact with us and made us feel so much better about being away. Our dog had a great time with her! We will definitely use her again when we go away.”


“Molly and Patrick were amazing! They took such great care of our baby, Luna. They were attentive and sent detailed updates. They made sure Luna was really well taken care of. They didn’t just watch her but they made sure she was happy and we couldn’t thank them for enough for that. Would recommend to anyone!”


About: I'm home fulltime so your dog won’t be alone! i love to go for walks, give belly rubs + keep them entertained and feeling loved! I'm new to Rover but use it for my dog and figured i’d also be a sitter! i’ve mainly cared for my own or my friend's dogs either in their home or mine and we always have a blast! i’ve taken many courses on dog behavior and My pup is actually trained for therapy, service and he’s a Canine good citizen! ( a 6 year old 22 lb Cockapoo who is super sweet) I consider dogs as members of the family, and know they have their own unique personalities + special needs! looking forward to hanging with your pup while you're busy doing Human things! I work from home fulltime so your dog won’t be alone! my schedule is super flexible too and would revolve around your dogs schedule :) i live in a two story house. no fence in my backyard so we would go for leashed walks. My dog sleeps with me in my room on his bed. your dog can sleep with us in their bed/crate. your preference

“Audrey is great! She not only took my last minute request but also was wonderful with my dog. She sent me updates and pictures and Lola was more than happy -and this is means a lot because she’s always nervous around new people. I’d totally recommend her!!”


About: I had my own dogs for 24 years. I trained them to sit when I come home and before they eat. I love to be around dogs and give them lots of attention. I provide dog walking, boarding, drop-in visits and doggie day care. I also provide stack services as well. I am currently a man of leisure. So I have the time in the morning hours to dog sit. So it will fit my schedule. I can keep them in my homes. I let them sleep on my couch and can crate them - (if the owner has a crate to provide and that is what the owner of the dog wants. Then I will give the owner what they want.)

Shirley & Anthony W.
“Shirley and Anthony are the kind of people dogs instantly love—and honestly, same. I’m pretty picky about who I trust with my four-legged shadows, but these two made it easy. Their place is basically a doggy retreat: clean, comfy, and full of good vibes (and probably treats). Whether your pups want to run around, snuggle, or just lounge in peace, they’ve got it covered. They treat dogs like family—maybe even better, depending on the family. Total pros, total sweethearts, and absolutely the kind of people you want caring for your furry weirdos while you're away. 10/10 would trust again.”

Alex N.
“Years ago Alex and his wife adopted a puppy I was fostering for a pet adoption organization. I watched the dog grow up and dog sat for them. They were devastated when they had to put the dog down after living a wonderful full life. My current dog loves Alex when we see him in the neighborhood and Alex has watched my dog too. I know Alex is trustworthy, loving and kind to animals. He would make a great addition to your team. I’m happy to answer any questions you may have.”
Whippany pet parents share their Rover experiences
Robert and Bianca were wonderful to work with. They met with me before the trip to make sure my nervous pup was comfortable with them. They sent photos throughout my trip, took her on lots of walks, played with her, and gave her daily medication. Nellie had an amazing time and even got to snuggle in their bed at night. You can tell that Robert and Bianca are true animal lovers and treated Nellie as their own. Already planning my next trip to use Robert + Bianca again!
