“Nicole was great! She was super easy to work with when we needed someone in a last minute pinch. Archie loved her and was giving kisses within minutes of meeting her. I highly recommend Nicole!”


“Marilin took excellent care of our French bulldog. She’s highly responsive and responsible. Her updates were clear and complete, and we came home to a happy dog!”


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.

“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!!!”


“Great sitter, very communicative and caring.”


“Maria was a joy to work with. We coordinated a meet and greet easily and she was great about asking questions and taking notes. We really appreciate her prompt replies, photos and notes from her visit. We will definitely work with Maria in the future!”


“Laura was absolutely great!! She took the effort to meet me a few times prior, so we could practice and learn how to do my cat's inhaler therapy and she was able to consistently do it for him this time! Very very pleased with the outcome!”


“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: I have several years of tending to dogs and cats, (as well as some birds) of all ages, sizes and temperaments. I’m comfortable handling potentially difficult dogs and cats, regardless of age and/or disabilities. I have also worked at Morris Animal Inn and currently work at a vet clinic while I prepare to go to vet school. I have a cat of my own, Forrest who I love very dearly. I can also administer medications orally, topically, and subcutaneously. I can monitor all bathroom trips for stool and urine output, give baths, clips nails, or clean out ears if needed. I also take the BEST pictures of pets and can give you updates whenever you’d like :) At the moment, I am currently working full time at a vet clinic, but most weekends I am off or get out early. Im currently available most Friday afternoons to Sundays nights as well as most Tuesdays. Im also flexible to work other days circumstantially. I have a formerly feral cat at home who is now an indoor-only cat that I adopted from my current job. I feed him twice daily as well as clean his litter box morning’s and evenings. He is up to date on all of his exams and shots, and is also on a hydrolyzed diet since he has some food allergies. Additionally I make sure to keep his nails short since he loves to make biscuits on my face :)

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!!!)

About: I’m a dedicated dog mom to Clio, my energetic Cocker Spaniel, who I’ve raised and trained since she was a puppy. I’m experienced with high-energy and various types of dogs, and I love taking them for walks and socializing them around town. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to incorporate regular dog walks into my daily routine. Walking my own dog around town is already a consistent part of my day. In my home, I have a playful Cocker Spaniel who gets along well with other dogs, so pets that are friendly would be the best fit. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to ensure their routines and needs are fully met.

About: My blend of experience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. Ensuring pets of all ages receive the care they need. I offer flexible routines to accommodate your pet’s unique needs, ensuring they feel secure and loved while you’re away. My approach is hands-on, compassionate, and tailored to each pet, making sure they’re happy, healthy, and stress-free. Whether it’s an early morning walk or late-night snuggles, pet care fits smoothly into my day—because, for me, it’s more than just a job—it’s a passion! My top priority is creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for each pet, tailored to their specific needs. I respect your pet’s territory and try to keep their routine as normal as possible, including feeding, walks, and any special activities they enjoy. I follow specific instructions for any medications, dietary needs, or behavioral concerns. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you know your pet is in good hands. If your pet feels anxious being left behind, I make sure to spend plenty of one-on-one time with them to offer reassurance, whether that means extra snuggles or quiet time together.

About: I am a responsible, active and caring dog lover. I live in beautiful Basking Ridge with my wife and our two male Golden’s, Dunkin and Blue. Walks will always be fun, safe, and exciting. My wife and I are both fun, energetic, young professionals who love animals, I work from home full time and decided to restart my Rover account to get out of the house more and help out other dog owners! I grew up with a dog who was a diabetic, had a heart murmur and arthritis so I have a lot of experience giving medication of any type including insulin with a syringe. Currently, my family has a dog named Baxter who lives back in NJ with my parents. I worked from home when he was a puppy so I have experience with training and a lot of messy cleanups! I will do everything to make sure your pup is comfortable and happy in my home. Air conditioning will be on all day (during the summer), a lot of playtime and belly rubs. Also, you can expect daily pictures/videos to ensure you that your dog is being cared for properly (and maybe a bit spoilt!) I have a very flexible work schedule and can come and go as I please. Having had to deal with issues finding reliable dog care for our two dogs when we were both in the office, I wanted to offer my services to help other professionals or those who need a long term trustworthy and reliable dog lover! I’ve had to find last minute help in the past multiple times for our two boys and it always gives me so much anxiety. Whatever you need from me to feel comfortable before booking please just let me know.

About: Hello! My name is Rita, and I can't wait to get to know you and your fur baby. I have taken care of horses, cats and dogs since I was a kid, and I have had family pets since I was born. I currently work at an animal hospital, where I do everything I can to make our furry patients comfortable while we help them feel better. I have handled dogs and cats of all different breeds and temperaments. I spent time as a volunteer at St. Hubert's animal shelter, and I worked as a stable hand at Lord Stirling Stables where I rode for 7 years. I have a deep understanding of animal behavior, and I can't wait to get to know your pet. I work part time at an animal hospital, but I have flexibility for house visits and walks. 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...

About: I cared for my dog for 13 years. I adore all animals, love walking and playing with them, and treat every pet like they're family. I’m a grad student who just wrapped up my summer internship and would love to spend my extra time caring for and bonding with your beloved pets! I'm currently offering drop-in visits and dog walking. I make sure pets feel safe, get plenty of attention, and follow any routines or instructions you provide.
