“I had a last minute trip I had to take and I don’t know anyone in the area. Janice was willing to watch my dog and was very kind and easy to communicate with, helping ease my worry of leaving my dog with someone new. My dog is also very shy and Janice did a great job helping her feel comfortable and come out of her shell. She sent pictures and video updates without me having to ask. She was very accommodating to my flight being delayed and willing to watch my dog 4 hours past the scheduled time. I’d highly recommend her. She’s near Newark airport too so convenient for traveling. Thank you, Janice!😊”

“We know that when we leave Callie with Diana & Harish, she is in good hands. They took such good care of Callie and gave her extra snuggles for us. They also offered to give Callie a bath because she was itchy which was much appreciated. So grateful to have found such a wonderful family when we can't take our fur baby with us.”


“Tynesha and her family were fantastic, sending photos and quick updates throughout our pet’s stay with them! He came back to us happy and healthy (and probably missing his new temporary family a little bit, too). It gives me great peace of mind to know that, if/when we next have to go out of town, we have this great option for our dog!”


“I had a fantastic experience with Jhajanny! From the moment we met, I could tell they genuinely love dogs. They were attentive, punctual, and incredibly warm with Mocha, who can be a bit shy around new people. They took the time to learn her routines and quirks, sent regular updates with photos, and made sure she got plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles. When I came back, Mocha was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for—which gave me such peace of mind. I highly recommend Jhajanny to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and professional pet sitter. Five stars all the way!”


“Caroline took absolutely amazing care of my puppy. She kept sending us photos and videos of him while in her care. He came back super happy with his time off ?. I would highly recommend her and would definitely be taking her up on future opportunities for care!”


“She is an incredible sitter! She was so thoughtful and really paid attention to my dog's needs. I loved receiving daily updates, and it was heartwarming to see how she comforted him during the storm. Her home is lovely, and my dog instantly took a liking to her. Highly recommend!”


“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!”


“Our dog, Savannah, had a great experience with Mateo!! She got along great with his other dogs, Casper and Mocha, and their cat, Gabriela!! Mateo kept me updated throughout her stay with pictures and messages about how she was doing. She was very happy with them. I highly recommend him and would definitely have her stay with them again on my next trip ??”


“Noelle provided excellent care for our little dog while we were away. It was the second time our pet was boarding at her place, and our experience was just as great, if not better!”


“Tiara was on-time, enthusiastic, and sweet with the baby. We felt very comfortable leaving our son with her, and would definitely use this service again. She was excellent. Very warm and set our hearts at ease the minute she walked in the door. I got a lot of pictures and updates every hour through out the day, I was scared at first but tiara make me feel like she know me and my son for a long time and most of all I could feel my son happiness in those pictures. Thanks again definitely will be rebooking. # communication top tier ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”

“This was Busta’s second time staying with Stacia and he just loves it. Stacia is such a great care taker of pets. We truly appreciate the updates, pictures and videos sent by her on a daily basis. We are happy to have found her and feel so blessed to find someone to look after Busta, as if he was her own! Much appreciated, The Bartons.”


“Ninoska was so great! She was really nice and sent me photo updates every day. I love that she has a yard for the dogs to play in. She even cooked for my dog when he ran out of food. It looked like Tucker had so much fun at her house with the other dogs. She was super flexible and accommodating with pick up time when my flight was delayed. Highly recommend!”


“Misty is truly the sweetest person! I've used a few sitters before, but I must say that Misty and her husband gave me complete peace of mind every time Lola stayed with them. They treated her like family, and Misty went above and beyond by sending multiple pictures to show that Lola was safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m so grateful we found someone like her. I Highly recommended 😊”


“I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my beloved English Bulldogs to Koryn while I went on a 5-day vacation, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we met, it was clear that Koryn has a genuine love and understanding of dogs. Throughout the stay, she provided exceptional care, ensuring my fur babies were comfortable, well-fed, and showered with attention. Koryn went above and beyond to accommodate their needs, keeping me updated with photos, which truly put my mind at ease. Returning home, I found my dogs happy, healthy, and clearly well-cared for. Koryn truly treated them as if they were her own, and I am incredibly grateful. I wholeheartedly recommend Koryn to anyone seeking a trustworthy, compassionate, and professional dog sitter. Your pets will be in excellent hands!”

They were very patient and updated me on my ivys status I wouldn’t want to choose any other sitter thank you guys you are the best. I appreciate everything you guys have done!!! I can’t thank you enough.”


“Maisha was an amazing sitter for my pup! She restored my trust in the Rover platform after a couple of not so pleasant experiences…and he smelled amazing at pickup! I received morning and nightly updates with pics. Will definitely book again!!”


“Avraham was everything you’d ever want in a sitter. Kind, attentive, reliable, accommodating, trustworthy, quickly won over our pup. His photo and video updates not only kept us informed but also reassured us that Mochi was in great hands, allowing us to fully enjoy our vacation. We couldn’t be happier with his care and will definitely book him again in the near future.”


“Amrit was amazing with Pepper. He was so sweet and attentive to her and sent me updates and pictures daily. It didn’t seem like a job for him- he genuinely enjoyed taking care of her. His house was clean and safe. I highly recommend him!!”
