About: I've had dogs my entire life, and have never met a pet I don't like!! From dogs, to cats, to parakeets, to lizards, to fish, I've had them all, and I will take care of them like they're my own. Your pet will be my first priority! I am currently a medical student, so I am well-versed in taking care of others, human and animal. I have some weekday commitments, but most of my time is flexible. Weekends are usually completely free for me! I love to be active and outdoors, and your pet will get a lot of exercise with me. With my more relaxed schedule, I will be able to give your pet the attention and love they deserve! I am comfortable with any size pet with all kinds of needs. I do not currently have any pets of my own, so I am looking to give all my love to yours!
About: I love animals, grew up with two dogs, and now have a rescue cat. I also volunteer at the AWA Adoption Center. I am available for dog walking and drop-in visits for any kind of pet. I am self-employed, so my schedule is flexible. I’m self-employed so my schedule is flexible. I have a car and am willing to travel. I generally feed my own cat twice a day and play with her whenever I have time. For visits in my clients home I follow your feeding directions as to your pet’s feeding schedule, type of food, preferred toys and preferred play.
About: I'm dedicated to providing top-notch care for your beloved pets. With years of experience, I offer reliable pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits tailored to your furry friend's needs. Whether it's cuddle time, play sessions, or simply ensuring they're fed and watered, your pet's well-being is my priority. Rest assured, I'm committed to maintaining their routine and providing companionship and affection while you're away. My schedule can easily accommodate the needs and preferences of your pup, as I am home full time. I can provide frequent potty breaks and walks for your fur baby, as needed. We have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space for your dogs to play and run. When walking dogs, I use a standard leash, in addition to a hands-free waist leash, to ensure your pup stays safe.
“Donna was incredible with Rosie! She came on time and did everything we asked for her plus more. She shared with us pics of Rosie so we felt comfortable during our trip. We got the opportunity to meet Donna before the trip and she was super nice, organized and great with Rosie. This was our first time using Rover and Donna exceeded our expectations. 10/10 recommended!”

“Briana has done drop in visits for our two cats and four rabbits twice, and we’ve been impressed with her work, attention to detail, and how long she spends with our animals. As a bonus, she takes great photos! We plan to continue to use her service and would recommend her to others.”

“Krystal was great with our two pups! We normally board them when we’re traveling, but it was awesome that they were able to stay at home, and we had the peace of mind that they were in great hands! She sent pictures and kept us updated all weekend. Will definitely ask Krystal to come back. 🐶🐶”
About: I have recently been learning different breeds while fostering. It has given me insight to which ones like what and what their needs are on a daily. I work from home so I have some flexibility in my schedule to do stuff throughout the day. I enjoy being able to help animals. I have been fostering on a regular the past year. I enjoy caring for and having the dogs around to keep me company too. They are fun getting to learn the different breeds.
About: I’ve taken care of many pets every since I was younger, including for my aunt who had 7 labs at one point. I love going on walks and sitting around and I am very flexible with my hours. I have a senior cat who has to take meds twice a day so I am no beginner at hiding pills in food or treats. I am a student athlete at Rutgers Camden eager to get a part time job as a sitter. I am available all day Saturday-Tuesday and mornings and late afternoons Wednesday-Friday. I have a small apartment with a small fenced backyard but I have parks and fields right next to my house where your pet can run free. When going to homes I treat them as my own and take care of the animal as if it were my own.
“Kathy is amazing! My husband and I work nightshift and she came to walk and play with him while we were at work and made us feel at ease 😊 she sent me cute pics and kept me updated during the visit which was awesome. We will definitely ask for her help in the future! :)”

About: I’ve always had dogs of all ages and breeds in the family. It is fulfilling giving dogs their best life possible. I understand a few walks can mean so much to your dog’s week and I promise to treat them as if they were a member of my family! I have a full time job that allows me to have mornings and early afternoons off. I would be willing to work abnormal hours and consider myself to have a very flexible schedule. I have a mini golden doodle and am constantly aware of the potential dangers to her. While caring for your dog I will keep an eye out for other potential dangers that could harm them.

I can’t recommend Lindsey highly enough! She is reliable, incredibly kind, and truly goes above and beyond for my Ruby girl. Every walk is handled with care, and it shows—our dog is happier, calmer, and absolutely adores her and her sidekick Paco!! Communication is always clear and prompt, and the photos and updates after each walk give me total peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy who will treat your dog like family, this is the person to call!

Jenna helped watch our two dogs Murphy and Lulu while we were away for a week. We were so grateful they were in such good hands! They went on lots of walks and were well fed and had lots of playtime! Jenna gave us lots of updates and photos which our family loved since we missed them so much! When we got back we could see how happy and well cared for they both were! Jenna was caring and trustworthy and I know our pups would love to have her back!

Sarah was amazing with our three pups, one of those with special needs. She cared for them like they were her own while we were away and coming home to a clean home with happy pups was beyond measure. Sarah kept us updated throughout our time away with photos from her visits- which we really appreciated! Highly recommend Sarah if you are in search for dog care in your home!

This was my first time using Rover. I usually take my cat to the vet for boarding. My cat is 14 years old and very shy so I thought I would try to leave her at home this time. I picked Julia because we live in the same town. Julia was wonderful. We had our meet and greet and she agreed to take care of my cat. She sent me pictures and updates of how things were going. Julia had to seek out my cat because she usually hides when visitors come over. By the end of the stay, my cat was brave enough to go to Julia! I was thankful for the pictures and updates. And would highly recommend Julia if you are looking for a cat sitter.

Krista has been so wonderful with my dog these past few years. I am so grateful for her level of care and kindness. My dog loves when she takes him for walks and is genuinely excited to see her! Thank you Krista for always coming through and providing my dog with such amazing care. Koa loves you! ♥️
