“Mariia was fantastic!! We were extremely impressed by her knowledge and attentiveness to our puppy, Felix. She was so generous with her expertise on puppy care and training, and she provided very thoughtful updates alongside cute pictures throughout the day. My wife and I are so grateful to Mariia! She significantly relieved the stress of welcoming a new puppy into our home. She is respectful of our space, kind to us, and, most importantly, incredibly attentive and loving to Felix.”
“I appreciate Jaden’s help petsitting. Jaden was kind and polite. Jaden respected my requests and was attentive to my dogs needs when I checked in. Jaden went above & beyond offering pictures of my dog and as well gave me a summary of care when I returned. Truly a responsible professional petsitter in my eyes. I already rebooked Jaden for another time. Thank you Jaden!”
About: About Me: I've had dogs my whole life. I also raise and train service dogs. I LOVE all animals! I studied zoology and conservation biology in college and went on to work abroad at a sea turtle rehab center. I moved back to Jersey during the pandemic. Neighbors, friends and families have always relied on me to walk, pet sit, bathe, and feed their animals when they are not able to. In college, I spent my spare time volunteering at the shelter where I would walk, play with, and socialise dogs and socialise cats as well! I now work from home and will be available at all times to care for and play with your pet. I can tailor your dog's walk or drop in to their specific needs and temperment. I'm in my late 20s and work remotely so I have a pretty flexible schedule. On top of the safety benefits Rover provides, I purchased my own 3rd party insurance policy for dog walking and drop in visits. You will have extra piece of mind knowing your dog will be well cared for in the event of an emergency. My pets: I have three dogs of my own, two are future service pups that I am training and the other is a pet. My pet dog is a senior with serious medical issues. I have a lot of experience monitoring symptoms and administering oral medication because of this. I also fully understand how nervewracking it is to leave your senior/special needs dog and I do all i can to make sure you and your dog are comfortable and happy. I also have a bunny and a fish! In college I had two guinea pigs. Experience: I have experience with puppies, dogs with special needs, elderly dogs, and dogs of all shapes and sizes! I also have experience with cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, turtles, and fish! Unfortunately due to my busy schedule I am not able to take on any more weekly recurring clients. However, I'm happy to step in ad hoc when you need a walker/sitter! Schedule: I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I am available at all times for walks and drop ins. I can give your pup as much attention, play time, excercise, and cuddles as they want. I sometimes have some work calls I need to tend to but I can be as flexible as possible to your and your pets needs! Send me a message if you have any questions. Unfortunately due to my busy schedule I am not able to take on any more weekly recurring clients. However, I'm happy to step in ad hoc when you need a walker/sitter! Drop ins: In the client's home I can adapt to their routine and house rules. I can also bring any puzzles, kongs, toys that may be requested. I can provide excercise for high energy dogs, cuddles and attention for the lower energy dogs that love company, training on basic commands, and everything in between!
“Amazing 1st time experience Ms.Karen was great highly recommend her. Will be sharing her information trhoigh the property for those who might need help. She was everything you could hope for. She communicated throughout the day. Madison (10yrs) and Zeke (7 months) greatly appreciated the time they were well taken care of as if they were her own. Her experience in her profile made her standout, and it showed. Will be using her again in the future great experience”
“Donte did a great job watching our pups. We came home to two happy little dogs who seemed to enjoy their time together! We are so appreciative of his dog sitting services and really enjoyed working with him.”
About: I have been caring for dogs and cats for 7 years for family, friends, and clients, and I absolutely love making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I currently work as a gym manager, which allows me flexibility throughout the day since I typically start work later in the morning. I am also able to step away during the day for walks, check-ins, feeding, and quality time with your pets. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your furry family members. In addition to making sure pets are happy and well cared for, I always treat every home with the same respect and cleanliness I would expect in my own space. I have experience with both dogs and cats, and I personally have 2 cats, 1 dog, and a bearded dragon. Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy, and my goal is always to make sure your pets feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away! Pet care fits very well into my daily and weekly routine. I currently work as a gym manager Monday through Friday, and my schedule typically starts between 10 AM and 12 PM. Because of my later start time, I am available in the mornings for walks, feedings, and check-ins. I am also able to step away during my lunch break to check on pets, let them out, or spend some quality time with them. I have flexibility throughout the week, and I am available on weekends as well. I always prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any specific instructions they provide. I also make sure to be respectful of their home by keeping things clean and treating their space with care. I understand that every pet has a different personality and needs, so I take the time to get to know each animal and provide them with the attention, affection, and exercise they need. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable while giving owners peace of mind knowing their animals and home are being well taken care of. At this time, I primarily offer care in the client’s home, including drop-in visits, walks, and check-ins.
“Alex did house sitting for Kiwi for 2 days and was absolutely wonderful with her! He took such good care of her, made sure she was fed, and took her on walks whenever needed. I really appreciate the love and attention he gave, and I’ll definitely be booking him again for Kiwi’s future needs. Highly recommend!”

We are so happy to have found Alex! Our dogs absolutely love spending time with him and he is genuinely so nice and provides amazing care to our boys! Follows perfect instructions and is very thoughtful and honest. I feel completely safe that our dogs are under his care and that is priceless to us! One of my favorite things Alex does is that he sends us pictures of our boys while we’re away and they always look right at home. We are so appreciative of him and his love for our babies 🩵
Kate did an excellent job taking care of Cooper and Mooncake. She sent us regular updates about their activities and spent plenty of quality time with them. Kate stayed in our house and was a clean and respectful house guest. We will definitely be reaching back out to hire her for when we go on our next trip!
Abby was absolutely amazing during her stay with our pets. She followed our instructions, was loving and engaging with them and sent pictures daily. She also anticipated needs, which was very helpful. She was trustworthy and reliable. I would recommend her in a heartbeat. We have already booked her again for regular walks

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Bound Brook walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Bound Brook maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Bound Brook choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
