“Nicole was amazing! I looked forward to getting the updates every day! She made leaving my Lulu at home just a little bit less stressful! Will definitely be booking her again!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my home since I was 4 years old, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. Beyond my personal experience, I’ve also worked at multiple pet shelters in both New Jersey and Arizona, where I cared for animals of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a shy senior dog, I know how to create a calm, loving, and safe environment. I treat every pet like family and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. I’m currently home from Arizona State University and have a very open and flexible schedule. Whether your pet needs early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight care, I’m available and ready to help. I can easily accommodate last-minute requests and am committed to giving your pet consistent attention and care throughout the day. I prioritize safety by following each pet’s routine and needs closely, whether in my home or yours. I keep a calm, clean, and secure environment and always communicate clearly with pet parents. Your pet’s comfort and well-being are my top priorities, and I treat every home with respect and care.
“Amanda was such a sweet caregiver for our fur baby. She was punctual for visits, attentive to our cat’s needs, and thorough with following any instructions provided. We felt completely comfortable with her watching our cat while we were out of town & would absolutely reach out to her for rebooking in the future!”
“Victoria was so helpful and amazing with my teenage kitty. She sent so many fun pictures and it was clear that Cleo enjoyed having her around. Definitely snagging her for any time I go out of town! Thank you Victoria!!!”
“Second time having Sara over for visits with my cat while I was away. She was wonderful, communicated well, sent lots of updates with cute photos and videos. I highly recommend Sara for your cat visiting needs!”
“Morgan was responsive and kept us informed throughout her visits and was patient and kind with our cat. Morgan is trustworthy and goes the extra mile to make sure our needs were met.”
“Amazing! Our doggies loved him. He took extra care and truly altered his schedule to surround our dogs at the center of it. Consistently responsive, and let us know of every single detail which was most appreciative. Excited to book him again!”
About: Since I had my childhood dog, I haven't stopped adopting dogs. Everyone needs a fur baby! I have watched and owned dogs of all sizes and I love to play and exercise them. I can take long walks with them if your pet enjoys. I work a flexible part time position and can care for your pet anytime day or night. I can do mid day walks as well as morning and evening. I cannot board your dog but I can go to your home. My cats at home will not like other friends in their space. :(
“Valerie was excellent with our pups and very professional. She showed up on time for every visit and spent quality time with the pups. We have small, anxious dogs and they were very comfortable with her! We will ask for her to come back!”
About: I have been around dogs all of my life and have experience with dogs of many different breeds and age ranges. Coming from previous experience at a dog boarding facility, I am trained in feeding, handling, and medicating dogs and have worked with dogs of various levels of aggression. I am currently unemployed, so I can be on-call 24 hours for the days that I am available. I have my own dog that I take care of, but I can usually fit your pet into my routine! I currently cannot board dogs since my apartment is not big enough to house more than one dog. When caring for dogs, I make sure to give them the attention and space they require. Please instruct me or provide me with details on how you want your dog to be cared for (and also if your dog has any allergies, I love to give treats!!!)

Just let me know what your pet needs! I have experience taking care of dogs of all different breeds and ages, from little Cavalier King Charles puppies to a big senior Chesapeake Bay Water Dog. I will make sure your pup feels relaxed, secure, and I will pay close attention to their body language to make sure they are comfortable at all times. I can quickly learn their favorite type of play to make sure we have lots of fun! I also keep things tidy and will make sure your fur babies don't put their snouts or paws where they don't belong...

Ryan G.Star Sitter
“Ryan G. is just a really nice, caring, contentious and reliable person. He has cared for dogs for over 20 years of his life and worked at the Morris Animal inn where that was his primary task with many different types of dogs with different temperaments and different breeds. If Ryan is given the task of being a pet caregiver, he will do a great job as he is great with following a routine, and he loves animals. He has trained many dogs, walks his dog everyday several times. I would want Ryan to care for my pet if I was travelling or if I did not have the time to care for my pet because of work or health reasons.”

Meredith J.
“Meredith took care of our rabbit and as always does an execellent job. She is reliable and keeps things clean.”
Julia B.
“Julia is my daughter and loves dogs more then anyone I know! We had a Puggle named Maddie for 13 years and they were attached at the hip. As all parents do, I had my reservations about getting a dog thinking I would have sole responsibility of taking care of her. To my surprise, Julia stepped up from day one taking care of her, feeding and bathing her and walking her daily. She would often bring her to a Natirar, which is a beautiful park near our home, for special walks and to socialize with other dogs. It was their special activity and they both really enjoyed it. Julia was amazing with Maddie and took her responsibly very seriously and loved her unconditionally. When Maddie passed away a year ago, she was devastated but realized that she had a real gift bonding with dogs and they, with her. Julia is kind, loving, responsible and hardworking, I think she would be an amazing addition to the Rover community!”
Rita R.
“Rita is a wonderful, compassionate animal lover. She is incredibly responsible, and, since she works in a veterinary hospital, she is able to notice a problem more quickly than people without this experience. She has experience medicating dogs and cats. She is gentle and soft spoken around animals and they automatically gravitate towards her. I trust her implicitly with my pets!”
