“Elizabeth is the absolute best. She took such good care of my two dogs. I appreciated all the updates throughout her time with them. We will definitely have her take care of the pups again!”


“Ashley was great and took really good care of Olive while I was away. She listened to all of my instructions and was super communicative. She sent pictures and updates every couple of hours and answered all of my messages and questions. Would 100% recommend :)”


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 :)

“Wonderful experience with Liam! He stayed with our dog for 4 days/3 nights. Sent lots of pictures and reached out when he had questions. When we returned home everything was perfect and our dog was happy and healthy. Will be using him again for our next trip!”


“Morgan: has our complete trust to care for our dog Maddy and cat Charley. She is a good communicator, is a person who cares for pets and treats them like her own. Morgan is poised and responsible and someone we are comfortable leaving in charge of our home. She has watched our pets periodically for several years and does the little things to make them comfortable when we are away. Our dog Maddy knows her name and gets excited when we tell her Morgan is coming by! Without hesitation we can recommend Morgan.”


“Susanna is a perfect dog/house sitter! She took great care of our boys, left our house looking as we left it, and was super considerate of reaching out with questions. I would highly recommend her for anyone who needs someone they can trust to watch their pups!”


“I have a 12 year old dog and a 12 year old cat. The dog is pretty sick and needs very specific care and Jessica went above and beyond for both of them! You can tell she really cares deeply for the animals she takes care of. She sends very helpful updates, is very attentive to their needs and my pets already miss her.”


“Kayla was fantastic for watching my 2 pups and kitties while away. She was super receptive to their little quirks (including walking them outside on leashes in the yard during the rain because they think they’re sugar and going to melt, and would not go out!). I would definitely recommend using Kayla and plan on booking her again when she is available.”


About: I have been proud to be a shih tzu owner for 3 years with my family. I have also been pet sitting and walking since I was 12 I walk and feed my dog on a daily basis. I also play with him during my free time and weather permitting, take him to the dog park I currently live in an apartment while occasionally staying at my parents house. I make sure to give them the care they need and show them how much they are loved.

“Dani is an exceptional Rover associate. We engaged her for a week of overnight sitting, our first time ever having an overnight house sitter in our home. We had Dani take my girls out a few times before our week away for everyone to get to know one another. The week went super smoothly- the perfect amount of communication and photos. Everything was perfect when we returned home - happy dogs, well-watered plants and a cared for home. Thank you to Dani and to Rover for allowing us a week away without worry!”


“Natalie was so awesome! She watched out large bully for a long weekend at our home and kept us updated the whole time by sending us pictures and texts throughout our trip. She also took great care of our home. We will definitely be using her again!”


“Louise is a fantastic pet sitter. She watched our 8-month-old puppy all day, closely following our instructions, keeping detailed notes (such as time of bathroom trips, walks, meals, and naps; how much our puppy ate, etc.), and regularly sending text and picture updates. Also, our puppy loves Louise!”


About: I have 3 years of experience caring for dogs. They are so adorable! I love them because they are the best friends you could ever have. I would love to take care of your best friend and family member Right now I’m home full time and have plenty of time to take care of your baby. The most important thing is that I’m flexible and I can work at your time. I can work in many environments like your home. In my drop-in visits I can walk your dog, comfort him, care for him, and play with him.

About: I grew up with dogs that were part of my family, which nurtured my love for animals. As I grew older, I took care of my friends' and family's pets, gaining valuable experience. I believe that pets are wonderful companions, and I am committed to caring for them with the attention they deserve. I understand the unique needs and affection that our furry friends require. I’m available to start pet care on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday afternoons at 2 pm , and I can accommodate daily care as needed. I lovingly ensure they are fed on schedule, provide plenty of playtime and exercise to keep their spirits high, maintain a clean and comfortable environment through grooming and litter box care, watch over their health with a gentle eye, and offer companionship to make them feel cherished and secure.

About: I worked as a private dog and house sitter for a small company for a couple years. It was wonderful. I’ve watched dogs, cats, farm animals, horses, birds and more along with their houses! My loved ones and I have also had dogs, cats and other pets for most of our lives. Nothing better than being out in a beautiful, open space watching the dogs run around freely…just being dogs. 😊 I’ve helped train puppies with leash, off-leash, tricks and general respect over the past couple years. It can be challenging, but incredibly rewarding. I also have training from a local animal shelter, but haven’t volunteered there recently just due to other obligations! When interacting or training, I consider myself incredibly patient and calm. I focus on radiating much love when I’m around animals. They truly deserve it. I’m currently working part-time as a nanny through mid October. My normal hours are 2:25pm-7:30pm weekdays in Morristown. Weekends are available with proper notice. I can be available full time until September 2nd. I love making animals feel safe and cared about while keeping things light and fun, when appropriate. I generally have good intuition regarding how to present in front of certain animals. If a dog isn’t listening, my first instinct isn’t to yell, but to remind the dog who is in charge by firming up my tone. My goal is never to make a dog listen to me out of fear- just respect.

“Michael did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs and two cats while we were away for a long weekend trip out of state! He was great with them and kept us updated throughout the day, which we really appreciated. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We would absolutely book with him again in the future!”


“Leah is personable, friendly, reliable responsible, but most importantly, very knowledgeable about dog behavior and needs. I felt totally confident and comfortable leaving my dog in her care. He played, walked, cuddled which are his favorite things! I will always request Leah first for future doggy needs.”

Sheree H.
“Sheree graciously offered to care for my beloved pet, recognizing the difficulties I had previously faced when leaving my furry friend in a dog hotel during my absence. Upon learning of my situation, she went the extra mile and selflessly volunteered to watch over my pet at no cost. I provided her with detailed instructions, particularly regarding the administration of medication and the use of medicated shampoo during bath time. Sheree's compassion shines through in her interactions with my dog - she is both nurturing and playful, resulting in my dog wagging her tail joyfully whenever she sees Sheree. Moreover, Sheree maintains open lines of communication, regularly calling me to provide updates on my dog's well-being.”
