“Mark was amazing with Kona and Aladdin while we were away for an extended weekend getaway. He sent lots of photos and kept us informed of everything. Couldn't ask for a better sitter and great guy overall!!!”

“Kendal was great! She came and met the dogs prior to the day of and was so kind and gentle with them. Very easy to get in contact with and sent us plenty of pictures of our little guys enjoying their time! With everything going on during our wedding day, knowing our little guys were home safe and taken care of made the day so much less stressful. Thank you Kendal!”

About: I’ve been caring for my own cats and chinchillas since I was 11. I used to walk dogs when I was younger simply for the fun of it and have handled a variety of pets, from rabbits, guinea pigs, chihuahuas to english mastiffs. I’m a baby LVT and freshly graduated Bachelors student from Delhi’s veterinary technology program. I have experience with medicating pets whether it be a pill, ointment, etc, especially by myself. I have performed intramuscular and SQ injections, and with IV as well. I love meeting new pets + their owners, and getting more and more experience with varying ages and breeds. I also took BOCES during high school, and have experience with grooming, nail trimming and ear cleaning. I simply have fun with it because I love animals, and keep organized notes to ensure I remember everything specific for pets as I thrive best on details and structure. That being said I have not used Rover much and only temporarily ever open my account if I have a break. So please bear with me! :) Now that I’ve graduated, I’m taking a short break from working to enjoy my summer off. This frees up my time entirely aside from any dates marked in my calendar that I’m unavailable. I may have plans here or there but I can work around them to still drop in and do visits however many times best for your pets! It gets me out of the house :) I have so much experience with my own very mischievous pets. Animal safety and comfort is a big priority to me and I will always take an owners notes to heart about a pet, I will write things down. Whether it be feeding routines, exercise, precautions on habits (like chewing cords, my cats are very guilty of this). I would expect a clients home to be pet proofed to the best extent they can offer, but I have great hearing for small sounds and if I pick up on any suspicious I will immediately check it out incase a pet is doing something they aren’t supposed to. I’ve seen and heard a few horror stories about foreign bodies, and emergency trips so I try to be very thorough with pet safety.
About: I’ve taken care of everything from small cats to wolf dogs. I will be able to take care of your pets, they will be happy with me. I typically only work in the early morning at my regular job so I will have plenty of time for your furry babies. I can either stay with them or do check ins a few times per day. I care for your pets by going by whatever schedule or rules you set out. No matter what, I will do my best to make sure they are happy and safe.
“Angel was a literal Angel! She went above and beyond for our pups taking them on outings and even bathing them and getting them toys! She was very communicative and a joy to work with! She was born to work with Animals!”

“Katlynn was so great with our dogs. We added a puppy to our family last minute and she embraced it head on! Our dogs loved her and even watched her leave. I would trust her with my dogs any day of the week! She should be your go-to-gal for this area!”

“Emily is great, she’s always flexible even when I book at the last minute. She always takes good care of my fur babies as well as my home. I will continue to use her services anytime I need a dog sitter.”
About: I have cared for pets for over 10 years now and every time is a truly unique experience. I cherish experienceing animal behavior and building strongs with pet and their owners alike. I am able to provide consistent, nigh-quality pet care each morning before 7am and every evening after 3pm Monday through Friday. I am available anytime on weekends When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their established routine as closely as possible. This includes timely feeding, walks whether that be in their backyard, neighborhood, or taking them to a park, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of love! I keep your home clean and your pet happy, providing regular updates so you can travel with peace of mind.
“Jess was amazing! She sent us pictures of Griffy while we were away as well as text updates. She arrived early in the morning so that we could get on the road to travel to our daughter’s wedding. We cannot wait to book her again.”

About: I have worked at a Humane Society for 2 years and worked with both cats and dogs. I also have done a fair share of home sitting and care. I am currently looking for visits and overnights while I attend college at Monmouth. I play basketball and would love to be able to work with cats and dogs in my spare time. I work off your rules and I do have a puppy of my own who’s always up for play dates! I am very flexible with what you need done.
