About: I have been pet-sitting for my neighbors, boss, and co-workers since 2010. While I occasionally board pets in my home, I usually provide pet/house-sitting in the customer's home. I walk/feed/brush dogs, administer oral medication if indicated, and spend time playing with them. I also take in mail, water plants, and take out trash/recycling. I am a newly retired teacher, so I am now available full time for all of your pet care needs any time 7 days a week. If I am providing care in my home, I can offer to take dogs for a walk in a nearby state park. I try to keep the pets' feeding and walking schedules consistent with that of the owners.

“Super nice. Came when she said she would. Met all requests. Updated me with a message and photo for each visit. I’d definitely use her again! Also Clark my pup, warmed up to her immediately, which was a special bonus!”



“Julie is fantastic! Such a relief to find someone who takes just as good of care of my baby when I’m gone. Punctual for his walks every week, sends pictures of what they’re up to, and I trust her care with him 100%. My dog loves Julie and is excited to see her every time she stops in! If you don’t trust me, trust him!”


“Always a great job! Thanks Maria!”


About: I have had lots of felines through the years and really love taking care of them. I also love playing with dogs and taking them for long walks. They have lots of energy and love exploring as much as I do. 🐕 I have lots of time to care for and play with your felines, dogs and birds. It is the best time of the year to get outside and explore the area with dogs. We start the day by taking a walk and eating breakfast. Follow the pet's usual walking route unless otherwise instructed. I allow the dog to explore and sniff within safe limits. I provide exercise tailored to the dog's age, breed, and health. I avoid interactions with unknown dogs and people to prevent any potential conflicts.

About: My family and I are animal lovers! We have one dog of our own who we love and care for and she LOVES to play with other doggie friends! I have dog sat for about 15+ years for personal friends and family as well as many dogs here on Rover. All of our children love dogs and we create a loving and caring family environment. We have a large backyard in a family oriented town. Our yard is not fenced, but there is plenty of room for dogs we watch to run around and play. My children take part in caring for the dogs we sit and like to give them lots of extra hugs and love. We also enjoy going on lots of walks! We can’t wait to give your dog a warm, friendly home away from home! I am work from home, so I am available to be present for your dog. He/she will have someone around almost at all times. If we have to run out for anything, if your dog does not chew and is trained, he/she can have run of our home. We have one very friendly dog to keep yours company. I have plenty of room in the house for a crate if necessary. If medications are necessary, I am able to administer that. Our yard is not fenced, however we have a long lead where he/she can have plenty of room to run around. Our family will be present at all times when your dog is outside.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life from the time I was a little kid. I have always loved dogs and recently over the past 2 years have cared for my own dog Walker who is as sweet as can be! Able to give baths to the dog as well as long walks as we have dog parks in my apartment complex Fits into my schedule perfectly as I am available all day long.

About: Hi my name is Idaly. I am a 21 year old responsible pet Sitter. ~My Experience~ Volunteered at 11th hour rescue for 6 years where I worked with cats and dog. From feeding, cleaning, socializing and medication administration. I am a pre vet student, taking animal related courses for my career such as animal handling, nutrition and behavior. I studied abroad in Belize and worked with farm animals, pets and wildlife animals! ~My Pets~ I have\had dogs, cats, hermit crabs, hamsters, parakeets, turtles, and fish. I am confident with kitten & puppy care. I am passionate about pets and have an extreme patience for them. My extreme patience and love for animals is what made me want to become a Veterinarian. I understand the feelings when it comes to unreliable sitter and I am here to reassure you that I will treat your pet with love, care and respect. I love animals! If you have many pets or farm animals I would love to care for them. ~My Care~ I always leave the home as I found it or even better! I will fetch your mail, take out the trash and I tidy up any messes your pet may make☺️ I pay close attention to detail, such as cleaning dogs faces and their eye boogers, brushing cats hair, cleaning dogs paws after spending time outside… ~Pets I can care for~ Dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, birds, turtles, chickens, fish, reptiles. During the summer I am taking online courses in which makes me available everyday for drop in visits and walks! Start September I will be available Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday 😊 With my care I will first take the dogs out to pee and observe if they have gone #1 or #2. Then clean up any #2s. If there are any incidents inside the home, I will clean up. With all pets bowls are washed, fed and given fresh water. Then I will do play time with them! I always aim to leave the area clean. And I send pictures throughout the visit and let parents know when I have arrived and left.

“Mike has been great! Very responsive, helpful, and great with our dog! He’s been really reliable, especially with our ever changing schedule.”


About: Seeking a responsible and caring Pet Sitter and Dog Walker? I provide reliable dog walking services, attentive drop-in visits, and comfortable overnight stays. I am experienced in administering medications and am committed to ensuring the happiness and well-being of your beloved pets, no matter the duration of care. I am a teacher and I have full availability in the summer from June 16-August 31st. I am available during the afternoons and evenings September-May. * Safety First: Ensuring a secure and hazard-free environment. This means no exposed wires, toxic substances within reach, secure windows and doors, and a comfortable, safe space for the pet to retreat to. * Individual Needs: Recognizing that each pet has unique needs based on species, breed, age, health, and personality. This involves understanding their dietary requirements, exercise levels, preferred types of play, and any medical conditions. * Routine and Consistency: Establishing a predictable daily schedule for feeding, walks (for dogs), playtime, and rest. Consistency helps pets feel secure and reduces anxiety. * Positive Reinforcement: Using praise, treats, and gentle encouragement to guide behavior and build a positive relationship. Avoiding punishment or harsh methods. * Enrichment and Stimulation: Providing opportunities for mental and physical stimulation through toys, puzzles, scratching posts (for cats), and appropriate social interaction (if the pet is socialized). * Comfort and Affection: Offering gentle petting, grooming (if the pet enjoys it), and a calm and reassuring presence. Recognizing when a pet needs space and respecting those boundaries. * Health Monitoring: Observing the pet for any changes in appetite, energy levels, elimination habits, or behavior that could indicate illness or discomfort. Knowing when to seek veterinary care. In a client's home, the approach would emphasize: * Following Client Instructions Precisely: Adhering strictly to the owner's guidelines regarding feeding schedules, types of food, walking routes, medication administration, and any specific preferences or rules. * Maintaining the Pet's Routine: Sticking as closely as possible to the pet's familiar daily schedule to minimize stress and disruption. * Respecting the Client's Home: Treating the client's property with care and leaving it as clean as it was found. * Clear Communication: Providing regular updates to the owner about the pet's well-being, including photos or videos if requested. Promptly communicating any concerns or issues that arise. * Building Trust: Being reliable, punctual, and demonstrating genuine care and affection for the pet to build trust with both the animal and the owner. * Observation and Reporting: Being vigilant in observing the pet's behavior and health and reporting any deviations to the owner immediately.

“Cheyenne went above and beyond my expectations. I immediately felt comfortable when with meeting her. Sometimes you just know an animal person when you meet them. She took my dog for a long walk, played with him and took lots of pictures which my dog looked very happy in. I will definitely use Rover and seek her availability next time.”


“Our dog Stormy loves her walks with Gabriella who was engaging with her the entire time. Gabriella also made sure the house was left as it was when she first came and did a wonderful job making sure Stormy was comfortable before she left. Would recommend to all my friends and family in need of a dog walker!”


“On time, communicative, able to accommodate us fairly.”


About: I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes. Bully breed friendly! I’ve had dogs, cats, and other pets my entire life. I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking for over 15 years. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, and of course cuddling your fur members of the family. If there are other tasks you need done around the house when I’m pet sitting, don’t hesitate to ask, chances are I am more then happy to do it. I am off Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. On Fridays I am off at 2:30 and can accept clients after 3:00. I am available for last minute visits. My husband and I work opposite schedules so someone is always around. PLEASE READ! For boarding at my house I typically like to meet the dogs prior to accepting booking. I have two dogs of my own, a large male mix breed ( male) and a medium mix breed ( girl). My dogs have always been around other dogs. During your pets stay at my house they will have access to a fully fenced in yard, free range of house and endless love ! I do request your pets to have flea and tick prevention and be up to date with vaccines. My propety is surrounded by woods and wildlife so I like to be cautious. I feed the dogs I’m boarding in a separate room, and have ample toys for different stimulation. I can send daily updates and pictures. My house also has cameras inside and out to watch when I step out.

About: I grew up with Labs, Cats, German Shepherds and Pekingese along with other breeds and have always felt a special bond with dogs. I volunteered at the West Milford Animal Shelter when I was younger as well. I also was apart of the 4-H club for several years providing care for dogs, cats and horses. I have always been asked to dog and cat sit for family and friends during summer vacations. I work full time 9-5:30 and have a fur baby of my own so weekends are best for me but I am flexible during the week with local walks in Sparta I will care for all fur babies as if they were my own. I will make them feel comfortable loved and cared for while watching.

“Turin has been pet sitting for dogs, cats, turtles, hamsters, bunnies, and more for over a decade professionally but has been an animal lover her whole life. The passion Turin has for animals is the most comforting feeling knowing your pets are with someone who truly has a compassionate, loving heart, and will treat your pet as her own. Turin will go above and beyond for your pets every day you need her. She always makes sure the pets get all the attention, love, exercise, and belly rubs they desire and is very thorough with their needs, preferred walking length, and instructions. I cannot recommend Turin enough for your animals. They will be in the most loving care.”

“Kristin is the best!! I'm so glad I found her to walk and board my dog, Remmy. It's so much better than dropping my dog off at a boarding center. Her home is cozy and spacious and Remmy always feels at home and loves the yard to play! Kristin goes above and beyond too! I know she treats her with as much love as possible which makes me feel comfortable while I'm away. Gives me great peace of mind and I would recommend her services to anyone! Very affordable as well for the value that both my pup and I receive.”
