House Sitting Califon

“We really appreciated Jake keeping us updated and sending pictures of our dog while we were away. We came home and she was happy and healthy. Jake is really personable and friendly and obviously has a lot of experience with dogs.I can’t ask for anything more in a pet sitter.”

About: I have owned dogs and cats my entire life. I have a deep love and understanding for animals and understand that their owners are looking for someone to love them as much as they do. I have experience with senior and young animals. I am able to safely administer medication, including, but not limited oral pills and sub-Q injections. I am currently a freelance horse groom, due to the variability of my work I’ll have plenty of time to accommodate for long vacations and holidays! I am responsible and always return things where they belong, I love to stay clean and tidy! I can always provide references regarding my cleanliness.

“Shannon is our favorite pet sitter to date! Extremely professional, well prepared, great communication and lots of love to our pup! We will definitely be booking her again soon!”

“Ethan was great! Called ahead of time to make sure it was a good fit. When he got here, our dog took to him right away. He was communicative and shared pictures with us afterward. We felt a lot better on our trip knowing our dog was in good hands!”

“Yana is beyond wonderful! Our Charlie is so comfortable with her and she truly takes great care of him. We are spoiled having her to take care of our very spoiled “with love” Charlie ❤️”

“Elizabeth is great! We have two needy pets, including an old, anxious dog with mobility issues and other special needs. Elizabeth was perfect with administering medications and and keeping up with regular physical therapy exercises. We came home to a clean house and two well cared for (though possibly disappointed Elizabeth was gone) pets. I would definitely recommend Elizabeth if you need someone to watch pets in your home.”

“Pat is awesome and is so good with our two dogs. We are definitely using him again! Would highly recommend!”

About: I’m lucky enough to have an open schedule, which means your pet will get my full, undivided attention without being left alone for long stretches of time. I’ve taken care of a little bit of everything - dogs, cats, and even guinea pigs - so I’m really comfortable adapting to whatever unique routine your animal needs. My love playing with animals, chilling with them, and just watching them do what they do. One of my biggest strengths is working with pets who are on the shy or anxious side. I know how stressful it can be for them when their owners are away, so I’m incredibly patient. I know how to read their body language, give them the space they need, and just let them open up to me at their own pace until they feel completely safe. I am currently on summer break from college and take care of my own dogs at home. I make sure to give them everything they need from walks to play to just sitting around together. My main priority is keeping a constant eye on your pet and sticking as close to their normal routine as possible. Whether I'm staying at your place or visiting, your pet won't be left alone for long stretches, which really helps prevent separation anxiety. While I'm in a client's home, I will treat it with total respect and keep everything secure. I will make sure that all doors and gates are locked securely every time I leave your home, and I always keep dogs on a leash during walks. Because I have experience with everything from energetic dogs and cats to smaller pets like guinea pigs, I’m very aware of safety and choking hazards, like making sure small items or dangerous foods are out of reach.

“Amazing!!! Absolutely amazing! Thomas took very good care of our Golden Retriever (Broddie) and Shih Tzu (Destiny). This was our first time using Rover for dog sitting, nervous and was very impressed with Thomas willingness to bond with our furry ones and ensure that he had everything needed to take care of both dogs. Provides daily overviews of the activities, and things done throughout the day (photos included). Not only did he take care of our dogs but was willing to take care of our Ferret and Goldfish and still did an amazing job! Very clean and organized with day planning and capable of working with a provided schedule. Will totally recommend Thomas to anyone!”

“At the risk of writing such a glowing review that Jennifer becomes so popular that she's no longer available to watch our boys, I have to say having her pet sit was an across the board excellent experience. Our prior sitter bailed on us last minute and Jennifer came through with professionalism on very short notice. She came very prepared and took notes on how we like to have things done. The photos she sent every few days of our trip made us very comfortable with the level of care our boys were receiving and made it clear how much they enjoyed her company. I think it's safe to say they are still missing her! I highly recommend hiring Jennifer, and look forward to doing so again soon!”

“Hannah did a great job not only managing our 2 100+ lb Ridgebacks, but she took immaculate care of our home as well! We will definitely ask her to sit for us again. Highly recommended!”

About: What sets me apart is how easy and stress-free I make the whole process for both you and your pets. I bring a calm, low-maintenance energy to every stay, keeping life completely normal and comfortable for your animals while you're away. I’m super comfortable with pets of all ages and needs—whether that’s gentle care, mobility support, and strict medication schedules for a senior pet, or keeping a younger dog on their established potty and training routine. I treat your home with total respect and keep things running smoothly in the background. You won't have to worry about a thing while you're gone—I naturally handle basic house upkeep like bringing in mail and packages, watering plants, taking out the trash, and keeping the space clean and tidy. All I need to get started is Wi-Fi, clear written instructions, and a spot to park. I keep communication easy with light, fun daily check-ins and photo updates so you can enjoy your time away with total peace of mind! Pet sitting and house sitting are a primary focus in my routine, which allows me to be super flexible and present. Whether I'm staying overnight or doing visits, I structure my daily schedule directly around your pets' established eating, walking, and medication routines so their day feels completely normal and uninterrupted. I focus on house sitting and drop-in visits, caring for your pets in the comfort of their own home where they feel safest. I prioritize safety by sticking strictly to your home security rules, securing doors/gates, and following all feeding, walk, and leash instructions. I keep your space tidy, handle basic upkeep like mail and plants, and stay aware of your pet's body language to keep them happy and calm. You'll always get clear communication and daily photo updates so you know everything is running smoothly.

“Rebecca was great with the house, cats and communication! One thing that stood out to me was her calm demeanor. My cats are freaked out by some people and take a little to warm up. They both liked her right away, which gave us a peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book her again.”

About: I promise that my goal first and foremost is the health and care of your pet. I love all animals and grew up with both cats and dogs! Currently I have a 4 year old cat named Suki. She loves to play and nap together. I am extremely responsible and will give your pet all the care he/she needs and send you photo updates (it’s one of my favorite things to do when I’m pet sitting). I’ll treat your pet as though they were my own. I'm looking forward to working with you! I am currently a student at Rutgers Physician Associate Program. Some days I’m in school from 9am-4pm but we also have virtual days and days off for studying for exams. I’m an early riser so you can rely on me to take care of your pet bright and early and then head back to them in the afternoon for more play time and exercise. My weekends are always free so pet care on the weekends fits perfectly into my routine. I have a guest bedroom available to keep your fur baby comfortable in one section of the house or they can also use the entire house if they feel comfortable in their environment! I do have my pet cat Suki who lives with me but she does very well with dogs and we can keep her separate from other cats to introduce them slowly or just keep them separate the entire time they’re here. I’d be happy to sleep in the guest bedroom with your pet as well.

About: I have loved every dog like its my own and cant wait to prove that to you! I love to send as many pictures and updates when I can as well as keep the home in cleaner than how I left it! I am a college student so my schedule its complex but not filled! I have alot of free time especially on the weekends and I have alot of free time during the afternoons on weekdays!

I like to make sure I can see the pupper as leads every 5 hours or sooner to make sure they are comfortable and plan accordingly to give them the undivided attention they all deserve

“Kim was amazing! Both of our pets took to her instantly, which is saying a lot for our cat. Kim took great care of them both, sent lots of pics, and kept us up to date. Highly recommend!”

“Jaylynn was wonderful, she watched our dog at our house for 8 days and everything went great. My dog gets anxious being alone and I was nervous leaving her however Jaylynn was great with her. She sent me updates and pictures throughout my trip and Phobee warmed up to her quickly. I would highly recommend and I even plan to reach out again! Thank you Jaylynn!!!!”
