“I would rate Amber 100 stars if I could. She stayed with my two high energy dogs for the weekend and was absolutely amazing. Not only did she come and do a meet and greet the week before staying but she kept in contact the whole time and also sent pictures of the dogs so I knew they were happy and being taken care of. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Chris is excellent and RELIABLE. Elmer was relaxed (for Elmer), content and found a new buddy in Chris. We are very happy to have connected with him and look forward to working with him again. 👍 PS - we will be happy to tip Chris for his hard work with Elmer when we see him next.”

About: Hi! My name is Jackie and I am an avid pet lover! I am a retired HR Manager of 37 years and am strictly confidential and trustworthy! I currently have 4 Yorkies, 1 cat and 3 horses! Over the past 2 years I have cared for family and friends fur babies and realized this is something I love doing! Two of my prior dogs were rescues as well as my horses and cat. I have recently rehabilitated my first horse Mochi! I promise to care for your fur babies as if they were my own! If you feel I would be a good fit, please feel free to contact me! I am recently retired and am looking to start a new career with Rover! My schedule is currently open and I look forward to caring for your fur babies! I will follow your instructions and directions as requested, and I ask for your veterinarian's office telephone number and an emergency number to reach you, if needed.
“Sheli was great! We needed help on short notice, and our dogs can be a challenge. She was on time, communicated with us about how they were doing, and took great care of our babies!”
“Kasper is incredibly trustworthy and reliable with great communication. They stayed in my home while i was away for the weekend and made sure i was always updated & the dogs (and a lizard) were thoughtfully cared for”
“Serena came through last minute for us. Couldn't have been happier with her overall service. Our animals loved her from the start and she stayed in contact the whole time which left me at ease for the evening. She is truly passionate about animals and firmly responsible as we had her house sitting with our pets. She is an asset to this service. Top tier service and professionalism.”
“Kimberly was an amazing dog sitter for our two pups! She followed all of our instructions, communicated with us while we were away with pics and updates and even did some light housework!!! We will def be hiring her the next time we go away!”
About: I worked at Green Leaf Pet Resort. I also had a 13 year old shih tzu who crossed the bridge along with my 3 year old pit and her 2 puppies. I helped my pittie give birth and helped her raise them. She's no longer with us unfortunately. Rest in Doggie Heaven my babies! I work with dogs everyday all day. I currently have a pit/australia shepherd mix and a bully xL puppy. She is the most sweetest, goofy and sassy puppy. I'm surrounded by dogs all day. I use whatever the owners use weather its a crate, having inside, or having them outside. I do whatever the owners does. But I would prefer the dog to have a crate for safety reasons.
“Calm and friendly, Margaret was just what my pups needed as they experienced their first long car ride and hotel stay for a family funeral. She was very receptive to our dogs' needs and behaviors, and I would recommend her to anyone needing care for their fur family.”
“Ashley was a terrific dog and house sitter. I appreciated her quick response to any questions I had about Sasha. She followed all my instructions to the letter. I will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“First time using Laura for house sitting. She took excellent care of both my Pickles and my home during my 7 day vacation keeping me updated regularly and sending photos every day. Will definitely be using Laura if I’m going away again.”
About: I have had my own dogs and cats for the last 15 years. For the last 10+ years I have been pet sitting and walking other people's cats and dogs. I have taken care of senior animals, kittens, and animals with health issues. My schedule is very flexible. I make my own hours and I work from home. I therefore can give your pet consistent care and attention throughout the day. I will care for your pet as if it was my own. I let them explore the house and make themselves comfortable wherever that might be. I want to make your pet feel at home and give them the best stay possible.
“Joyce was amazing! She took care of my fur babies like her own. We enjoyed our vacation because we had peace of mind and did not have any worries. Thank you Joyce we will be using you again.”
“I will definitely ask Adrienne to watch my pups again. She was trusting, prompt and my dogs took to her right away. She sent pictures and updated me a few times while I was out. It reassured me that I chose her and I knew my pups were safe.”
About: I am so thankful for dogs and cats, and love to be able to protect them and care for them. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and energy, and cats young and old. My experience includes administering medicine and insulin shots to old pets, and taking them to vet visits. I am known for being a calm and patient person, and am quite soft spoken, which many animals seem to appreciate. I enjoy communicating with them, and giving them all the attention they deserve. I care for their needs, especially when it comes to nutrition and medicine. I love brushing their hair, and have given some doggie hair cuts if need be. I don't mind them sleeping on the same bed if they need the company. My schedule is open to pet needs, as it is my primary focus. I currently have open availability, and can cover a wide radius in NJ. As someone who has been a pet owner of all sorts for many years, I understand how every pet has specific needs and personalities. I am open to any situation to help your pet feel more comfortable while in my care.

Jacqueline J.
“We’re beyond grateful to Jackie for taking such great care of our dog, Daisy, and our home while we were away. Daisy is 5 years old and a bit of a nervous pup, so we’re always a little anxious about leaving her—but Jackie was truly incredible. She was so gentle and patient with Daisy, giving her all the time and space she needed to feel safe. It didn’t take long before Daisy was happily cuddling on the couch and showing off her favorite spots around the house. Jackie even brought her a toy, which was such a thoughtful touch, and made sure she had plenty of snuggles and quiet companionship—just the way Daisy likes it. We got regular updates and sweet photos that made us smile and feel totally at ease. When we came home, Daisy was calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. The house was also spotless, and everything was exactly as we left it. We’d absolutely recommend Jackie to anyone—especially if your pet needs a little extra TLC. Daisy can’t wait for her next visit!”

Branaysha T.
“Hi. Nay is so loving to the point where it would get out of control. She loves dogs to a extent that no one would understand. If you think Cesar Milan is crazy for wanting to help aggressive dogs. Well Nay is the same way. She would get bit and brush it off like it didn't happen. She doesn't care if a dog hurt her just as long as she gets them out of their shell. She works a Green Leaf Pet Resort where they board dogs. And she'll tell me how her day went and who she was able to walk. That job doesn't deserve her tbh but that's my opinion. Making Nay a Rover member I'll most definitely would approve. It's everything she loves to do and more.”

Seymour F.
“Seymour is really great with animals of all kinds. He has a loving and generous heart when it comes to caring for animals, but especially those in need. He is always the one that people call when they need emergency fostering or sitting. Seymour has years of experience with animals, as he has had many dogs and cats of his own throughout the years. He was amazing with our family dog, whom he took in for an extended stay at a moment's notice. The dog felt comfortable in his home and became very attached to him. We now send our dog to him whenever we go away, knowing he will be well taken care of and loved. He will take care of your pet as if it was his own and give them a great time!”

“Rich was excellent with my Koda and took great care of my house also!!”
Amy R.
“I have known Amy over ten years, and have trusted her to watch my two cats while out of town. My kitties are people shy, but have warmed to Amy. She has been a wonderful pet mama to her own pets, and has an obvious special place in her heart for dogs and kitties alike! Amy is very loyal, reliable, and responsible, and is as playful as she is nurturing. Your furry family member will love spending time with her.”
