About: As a pet owner, I understand the importance of proper care. I will take care of your fur baby as if it were my own, including feeding, walking, playtime, and snacks, and I will follow any required care regime. Unfortunately, I only service New Jersey. I will not be able to accommodate request in Pennsylvania. I am a business owner, so my schedule is flexible for pop-in visits. I'm always out and about, which means stopping by to care for your pet is no problem. I do not offer overnight in-home services, but I would be more than happy to greet them in the morning and tuck them in at bedtime.
About: First there were up to five rescues who became my lifetime companions. Then we added two beautiful horses. We walked to and through parks, to the reservoir, up hills across streams, and at the marina. Oftentimes we shared the road with grazing cattle and communed with ducks and geese. We moved with the horses where we gave care and love to the horses and even shared property with llamas for a while. "Peachie" the cat has helped to strengthen my feline muscles through love and understanding his understated gifts as compared to the dogs. I am through, loving, caring, and pay attention to detail. I know how to meet each companion where he or she is; and I possess excellent communication skills. Animals and children love me and I them!

“Justin is super friendly to our young puppy, Nugget, and doesn't get annoyed at any excessive young pup energy. He is communicative, respectful, and has come to save the day more than once.”
About: I’ve helped take care and train my mom’s dog from when she was 8 weeks to now. My mom heavily relied on me to help train her dog, crate train and play with her. I love all pets and have unconditional love for them! I’m currently in college, but I’m free during the summer so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your pets! My schedule is very open, I’m available anytime after 9am. If you have a fenced-in yard, I’m happy to let your pets out and back in. I also have helped crate train my mom’s dog. If your pet is crate trained that would be very helpful!
About: I have taken care of my friends pets for a few years now, either going over to their house to check on them, let them out and play with them or even taking them on walks. I currently have 3 dogs at home, and I have been taking care of them since they were puppies as well as the dogs I have had previously as well. I know how to handle small dogs and medium/large dogs, whether it comes to walks or just checking in to play with them, or let them out for the bathroom. I am currently working a part-time job, so I have all the time during the day to walk dogs and care for them. I am free anytime after 9 am. I currently have three dogs of my own at home. I play with them a lot inside the house when it gets too hot, and every few hours I let them out for the bathroom and play and tire them out, when outside, depending on how hot it is. I walk around outside with them to get some walking in up and down our driveway.
About: I have hands-on experience as a vet assistant and love caring for pets of all ages. From playful pups to seniors, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. As a vet assistant and student, pet care naturally fits into my daily life. I’m home most of the week and available Tuesdays and Thursdays after 11 AM, plus often all day Friday - Sunday. Since I already care for my own dogs daily, giving other pets love, walks, and attention is an easy and fun part of my routine. I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. In your home, I’ll follow their routine, give plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles, and keep things clean and secure. With my vet assistant experience, I bring extra care and attention, treating every pet like my own.
“Reese done a excellent job with my boy Kane ,was on time with every walk,thk again for your help and I highly recommend her services if needed I will definitely use her again”
About: Along with working in the animal field for over 15 years, I'm also a dog and cat foster for 2 different rescues for 10 years. My experience expands broader than Rover, so don't let the lack of reviews fool you. I am currently working from home, so I have plenty of time in my schedule to add in walks, visits, playtime, or anything else that is required. I have been fostering dogs for over 10 years. Although we don't have a fence, we have a double gate system at each door to ensure there are no risks of bolting. (Each room with an exit outside is gated by a tall, locking baby gate that is ALWAYS shut behind us when we exit.) As for the clients, home, I am willing to do what the client desires in order for their pet to feel as happy and comfortable as possible while their owner is away. All prices are negotiable.
“Joey is always happy when Gabrielle comes by. She puts about a mile on him each visit, and he's gotten a lot perkier. I can't recommend Gabrielle and Rover more.”
About: I have 2 years of experience working with pets in general as a veterinary assistant. My love for animals is beyond what words can describe. I’m currently working full time. For now, I can work 3 days out the week for 2-4 hrs or overnight with a 2 week notice. My eyes would never leave them, they’ll always be by my side no matter what. I will treat your pet as my own pup Sandy.
