About: All dogs seem to love me and gravitate towards me. I always know how to treat them even if they are a little skittish. I think I’d be a great fit. After work I am free always after 4 pm and on the weekends I can walk anytime for the most part, I think this is a great part time gig for me since I love dogs. I am extremely careful always keeping an eye on them and making sure they are not getting into anything that they should not be getting into.


“Kate took such great care of Madeline! I received daily updates and pictures to give me peace of mind! Kate was such a HUGE help when she was able to extend my booking for another day last minute when my flight was cancelled so my pet was taken care of! You can tell she truly cares and loves what she does! I highly recommend!!”


“Yana was so communicative and always on time! She spent so much time with the kittens and took pictures for me. She even gained the love of my kitten that is scared of everyone and everything lol. It’s always worrisome to leave your pets behind but I 1000% trust her. I’ll be booking her again in just a few weeks! Highly recommend.”


About: Hi, my name is Grace and I’m happy to be back in the Garden State! Although my "day job" as a marketing manager for a local university is a lot of fun, spending time with animals is what brings me true joy. I work from home, so if your pet needs care at any point during the day, I’m your gal. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! I work from home, so my schedule is flexible! I will occasionally have to go into the office, but that will be indicated on my calendar. I will absolutely follow your lead. I want to make sure your pet feels the utmost comfort and safety when around me. If that means extra cuddle time, fine by me. If they want space, that's okay too. I never want you to worry when you're away from your fur baby!

“I was very hesitant to use rover for the first time but Michael was very kind and answered all of my questions. He really took the time to learn about my pups and make sure they were happy while I was away. They warmed up to him quickly and let out their crazy side. I felt like we were in constant contact so I knew my dogs were being well taken care of which really took a weight off my shoulders. He even went above and beyond by sweeping up the dog hair which with a Great Pyrenees at home really builds up fast. I am so happy with how everything went and will definitely be using Michael again in the future. It was truly a great experience and I can’t thank Michael enough he really did and amazing job!!!”


“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’ve taken care of most animals you can think of my whole life. I’ve walked, babysat, trained and fostered dogs and other pets. I’ll play with a dog for hours until they get tired and sleep. I work part time with flexible schedules. I’m always available mornings and nights but I am available with notice anytime. I go to college in September. I will spend time with and tire out your dog whether it’s a walk or housesitting. Spending a whole day just petting a dog is my ideal day.

About: I’m new to Rover and am a life-long pet lover eager to provide assistance to pet owners in need. I will treat your pet like my own due to my sincere love for animals. I have many years of experience taking care of dogs and don’t have a pet of my own at the moment, so I am able to be available more often. I am available Monday-Friday from 430pm until the evening, and whenever on Saturdays and Sundays. I am open to same day bookings if you have last minute plans and need help, please let me know! :) I will make sure your pet is well taken care of and comfortable. Upon arrival I will make sure their water bowl is filled with cold fresh water and can feed them if this is something that is needed. I will also make sure there is nothing hazardous within their reach or on the ground to ensure they are safe until your return

About: I have four years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog, which has given me a strong foundation in daily pet care and animal behavior. My responsibilities have included feeding, grooming, administering medications, and providing consistent companionship and exercise. I take pride in maintaining a clean, safe, and enriching environment for animals under my care. In addition to personal pet ownership, I’ve provided light pet care services in private households. These roles included walking, feeding, and monitoring the well-being of family pets during regular and extended visits. I am attentive to each animal’s specific needs, routines, and preferences. Families trust me to treat their pets with respect, patience, and reliability. My goal is always to ensure pets feel secure, loved, and well-cared for in their owner’s absence. I have a flexible job schedule that allows me ample free time throughout the day, making me highly available to walk dogs on a consistent basis. My adaptable hours enable me to accommodate various client needs, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I am committed to providing reliable and attentive care, ensuring every dog receives the exercise and companionship they deserve. My flexibility allows me to build strong, dependable relationships with both pets and their owners. I prioritize safety during every walk by using secure, well-fitting collars or harnesses and sturdy leashes. I stay vigilant of the dog’s surroundings to avoid hazards like traffic, aggressive animals, or harmful objects. I monitor the dog’s behavior and physical condition closely to prevent overexertion or distress. Hydration and weather conditions are always considered to keep the dog comfortable and healthy. In all situations, my goal is to ensure a safe, enjoyable, and stress-free experience for every dog in my care.

“Kumud makes for a great pet caregiver- thoughtful and a very active person that truly believes in health and wellness. The fact that she is raising a pet herself makes all the difference.

Any animal placed into her care is going to be well-loved and cared for as if they are her own.”
