About: I am a physical therapist by trade and a pet lover all hours of the day! Currently observing to hopefully become a canine physical therapist. I work full-time but very close to home and I have long lunches. I work 4 days a week and usually have 3 day weekends (Friday through Sunday). I will be respectful of your pet and home. From crating to walking, playing, feeding, and tending to your pets needs. You can trust I will do it all.
About: I bring a lifetime of experience caring for dogs, from raising and training puppies to caring for senior dogs. As a semi-retired healthcare professional, I’m responsible, observant, and attentive to details. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, and I’ll treat your pet with the same care, patience, and attention I would want for my own. I recently found myself unexpectedly semi-retired and looking to stay active while doing something I truly love... spending time with dogs! This year, I lost my beloved Bernese Mountain Dog and am missing having a dog in my life. I’ve raised and trained dogs from puppyhood, including a Border Collie (if you know, you know!) and my Bernese, as well as cared for many other dogs over the years. I’ve also boarded friends’ dogs and provided drop-in care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pet because I’ve relied on great dog sitters myself, who treated my dogs as part of their family. I’d love the opportunity to give your dog the same love, attention, and care I would want for my own. My priority is always the safety, comfort, and well-being of your pet. I’ll follow your instructions and routines carefully, including feeding schedules, medications if applicable, leash requirements, and any crating or other guidelines you provide. During walks, I’ll stay alert to our surroundings and be aware of other dogs, people, traffic, and anything else that could affect your pet’s safety. Most importantly, when I’m caring for your pet, I’ll be present and engaged, not distracted by my phone. I want your dog to get my full attention, whether we’re out for a walk or spending time together during a drop-in visit.
“Pamela did a great job walking our 2yr old German Shepherd while we were out of town. It was a huge relief to have such a reliable and experienced dog owner taking care of our girl!”
“Lisa was great! She sent daily pictures and updates of each visit making sure that Jebu was fed, watered, comfortable and given snacks/treats. Lisa treated Jebu like he was her own. Lisa let me know that she was bringing my delivered packages inside - she was there for the pooch but also took care of me. I felt so comfortable knowing that every was running smoothly back at home while I was out of town. I will definitely be booking Lisa again in the near future.”

About: We know how stressful it can be to leave a family member with someone else—that’s why we’re here to make it easy and comforting for both you & your pup. When your dog stays with us, they’ll be treated like family. My husband and I rotate working from home, so there’s always someone here to give your pet attention, love, and plenty of playtime. I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years, and I truly can’t imagine life without them. We are huge animal lovers, and your pet’s happiness and well-being will always be our top priority. We love spending time outdoors—hiking, beach trips, and dog-friendly adventures are part of our routine. At home, we have a large fenced-in yard (1 acre), security cameras for peace of mind, and plenty of room for your dog to run, play, and relax. On nice days, we’re often outside enjoying the sunshine, and yes—dogs are welcome to splash around in the pool! Our dog Casanova swims all day long jumping off the diving board on his own. Our little Stella will hop on a pool float and take a nap. Our dogs are friendly and social, and we do our best to ensure all pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. We let the dogs out every 2–3 hours, and we’re happy to help with basic training or any special care your pup might need. We’re here to give your dog the attention they deserve while you’re away—and to give you daily updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. We have a 2 year old so we are switching to small dogs only. My dogs are spoiled and part of the family. I treat them like my kids and they go outside whenever they ask or at least every few hours. Friendly pets are welcomed like part of the family. They are free to go where they want and sleep where they would like. Our pups sleep in our room and have their own pillow and blanket.
“Jada is still a bit skittish, but Kate knew exactly how to handle her. She is a professional and would be a good fit for any dog, whether small, medium or large. Kate is very kind, reliable and patient. I would definitely call on her again and recommend her highly. She deserves my highest rating, 12 stars! 😊🐾”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, as I grew up with 2 dogs. I have 5+ years of experience in housesitting, walks and playdates. I also have experience with reactive dogs, where I can keep them safe during walks with patience. I currently work in a mostly freelance and remote environment. I am flexible and I communicate well about my schedule for accommodating your fur friends. I treat every pet at home as if it were my own. I make sure to follow instructions precisely and with care. I make sure to double check that fences are closed and doors are locked. Pet safety is a top priority. I have a lot of love for what I do and that shows in my work.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 25 years and have always had a deep love for animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering medications, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to giving you peace of mind by providing attentive, compassionate care and regular updates while you’re away. As a teacher, I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time to give pets the attention they deserve. During the school year, I’m available before and after school, on weekends, holidays, and school breaks. In the summer, my schedule is much more open, giving me extra time for walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I make up for it with frequent leashed walks, outdoor play, and lots of one-on-one attention. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions you provide. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: My entire life I have grown up with dogs of all sizes. When I was a kid the neighbor used to take me with her while she walked dogs for people and I fell in love with it ever since. Growing up my family always had big dogs and we even fostered kittens from the ASPCA so my experience with animals goes back as long as I can remember. As far as availability i am flexible but I do hook up pretty quickly so I try to let everyone know to let me know any dates you might need as soon as you can! Im a very laid back and easy going person so I generally can be available any time you’d need! I've yet to meet a doggo that I haven't liked or one that hasn’t liked me so I can’t wait to meet yours ! I currently pet sit full-time. So my availability is generally open. I do book up quite a bit so a little bit of a heads up would be greatly appreciated so I can try and fit everyone in. I would care for and treat your pet just like I would my own. With a ton of hugs and cuddles and attention. Haven’t met a dog I haven’t loved snuggling up on the couch with haha (be it they are allowed on the couch). I’m currently walking and sitting pets full time. So I have almost all the time in the world to care for your fur baby right now. I just have some recurring time slots throughout the week that are booked for other dogs but I try to work with everyone to come to a time that worst best for everyone! I’ll treat your pet just as if they were my own! Showering them with hugs and kisses and whatever amount of cuddles they’ll tolerate! My dogs at home sleep in bed with me so im all for the snuggles. Depending on your pets energy level will determine how much we play and run away. some animals I watch just like to lounge around hanging out all day and some like to run around the backyard like crazy either one works for me. I pet sit full time so I have a whole bunch of dogs that are on my schedule! I try to be as flexible as I can with availability so don’t hesitate to reach out and ask! I’ll care for your pets and home as I would my own! I usually ask people to write instructions for food and walking schedules down so I can double check I’m doing everything correctly.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bay Head
Caitlin was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our dog while we were away for four days. She made sure he got plenty of exercise on his walks and always ensured he was settled and comfortable before leaving. She also went above and beyond by bringing in our mail and packages, which we really appreciated. Throughout our trip, Caitlin kept us updated with photos and even shared maps of their walks, giving us complete peace of mind knowing our pup was happy and well cared for. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Caitlin to anyone looking for a dependable, thoughtful, and caring dog sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!
Meg was great! She stepped up last minute to walk my dog in the cold and I couldn’t recommend her more. My dog was instantly comfortable with her when we did our meetup, and she made me feel at ease with pictures, videos, and updates of him after each walk. She was also very thoughtful and brought over salt to sprinkle on my property after the big storm without even being asked. She went above and beyond and I will definitely be booking with her again next time I go away. Thanks again Meg!
