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.

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 good grasp on animals and I like to see them living their best lives. I will match definitely your energy, I don’t mind being soft/squishy and I can also handle bigger dogs as well. I have taken care of numerous animals: Cats, dogs, birds, and hedgehogs. I have a flexible schedule to work with. It will typically only have to work around a flexible part time job (as of now) Feel free to ask questions. I will treat your home with respect, adhere to whatever rules and routines you have for your animals around your house, and try to have your animals feel comfortable. At home I have 2 friendly dogs, a small shitzu/poodle and a lab mix.

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. :(

“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!”


“It felt great to arrive home and see that our dog — with help from Thomas — had played with every tug-of-war toy in the house. Thomas was thorough, consistent, responsive, and friendly.”


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.

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 has cared for two of my dogs and has done an outstanding job. One of them was very elderly and ill while I was away, and Rita went above and beyond to ensure he was well looked after. Her attentiveness and compassion gave me great peace of mind. Rita is warm, competent and extremely reliable.”
