“Jennifer is friendly and reliable. Our dogs love her and she has formed a great bond with them! They are always happy to see her. We are so grateful and happy to find such a wonderful and caring person to take care of our babies.”

About: Hi, I’m Lauren! I was a proud dog mom to two amazing girl dogs until recently, and I truly miss the joy of caring for a dog. While my family isn’t ready to have another of our own just yet, I’d love to help others by spending time with their furry family members. When I was young, I worked as a Seeing Eye Dog trainer, which gave me years of experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable with everything from playful puppies to older companions who just want a calm walk and a cuddle. Whether you need drop-ins, walks, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your pup feels loved, safe, and right at home while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule. Typcailly I work from home on Wednesdays and always Fridays. On the work from home days, I don't start until 10AM so I am free in the mornings and will take my lunch for the afternoon walks. In our home, we have an enclosed deck. Gate if needed to avoid the stairs. Nothing on the ground to chew. Pet free home. In other homes, I am always wondering where the pup is. I ensure to keep a close eye if they tend to be a trouble maker.
About: I provide more than just pet care—I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I have hands-on experience with both energetic puppies who need extra playtime and training, as well as senior pets who benefit from gentle handling, medication management, and a slower pace. I pay close attention to detail, communicate frequently with pet parents, and treat every dog as if they were my own. I work full time, but I work from home. I am available on most days and can be there for lunch routines. I am available during my lunch breaks for dog walks. I have one mini bernedoodle, who is the most friendly dog in the world. I can take care of dogs in my house, and am available for walks on my lunch.
About: I am a college student and am home for the summer and am excited to continue walking dogs!! I currently have 2 dogs who are on the older side I have helped take care of them my whole life!! I also just love dogs I am currently home from college and am looking for a job while I am home and I am free basically whenever!! Just depends on my week. I walk my dogs almost every night it’s harder now because of their age but when they are feeling up to it I walk them.
“Kevin was a dream to work with. He was incredibly communicative throughout our entire trip. We were never worried about his status in picking or dropping off our dog, Yuna. Plus, he gave detailed notes, recaps, and photos that were appreciated! He treated our dog as his own, and we would absolutely recommend him for dog walking as well as use his services again. Thank you Kevin!”
“Dawn has gone above and beyond for my husky. He’s stubborn playful and strong but she’s really handled him with grace since the very beginning. Whereas passed help has not been so kind. She really cares about the dogs needs and will correct him if he’s doing something bad. She also always sends pics/ videos and a great recap note of the visit. We will definitely be using her in the future again !”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life, and two years ago I worked with a dog-sitting company—a truly rewarding experience. I love being surrounded by these four-legged friends, and I have a natural ability to communicate with them. I am currently off for the summer, but starting in September, I will be mostly available after 4:00 p.m. on weekdays and throughout the weekends. In my home, I focus on creating a safe, fun, and structured environment for every pet. We’ve recently added a secure fence to our extra-large backyard so visiting pups now have a spacious, supervised play area to run, explore, and burn off energy. In addition, I make sure dogs stay active and engaged with daily walks around the neighborhood, tailored to their age and energy level. In a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s routine as closely as possible—feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and walks—so they feel comfortable and cared for in their familiar space. My goal is always to provide consistency, safety, and lots of loving attention, whether I’m hosting your pet or caring for them in your home.
About: Dog Owner | 4+ Years Caring for My Dog Bonjuk | Experienced with Budgies, Lovebirds & Senior Dog Care (Including Lifting and Assisting Elderly Dogs) other then that I just love being around them they genuinely make my day better. I wake up and take my dog for a walk and groomhim as he likes running around in dirt and his Coat get tangled really often. He also enjoys his weekly showers which I found unique with him. I have my dog who can keeps your company. While I am fully intrested in keeping your dog happy and engage with plays and walks.
About: I treat every pet like they’re my own—lots of love, attention, and a little extra spoiling included. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need patience and consistency with basic training, to senior pets who need a gentler pace and extra care. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic medications, and picking up on each pet’s unique personality and needs. What sets me apart is the level of care and communication I provide. I don’t just “watch” pets—I engage with them, whether that means long walks, playtime, or quiet cuddle time depending on what they enjoy most. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is happy and in good hands. My goal is simple: happy pets, stress-free owners, and a safe, loving environment every time. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine since I care for my own German Shepherd at home. I’m used to staying on a consistent schedule with walks, feeding, playtime, and attention throughout the day, so adding additional pets into my routine feels very natural. Because of this, I’m mindful of each pet’s needs—whether they have lots of energy and need active walks or prefer a calmer, more relaxed pace. I plan my days to make sure every pet gets dedicated time, care, and attention without ever feeling rushed. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, with flexibility for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I always do my best to stick to your pet’s usual routine to keep them happy and comfortable. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for any pet. In my home, I maintain a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment. I also have a German Shepherd, so I’m very experienced with maintaining structure, supervision, and safe interactions. I always take the time to properly introduce pets (when applicable) and make sure everyone feels comfortable and stress-free. For dog walking, I use secure leashes/harnesses and stay aware of our surroundings at all times to keep your dog safe on every walk. I adjust the pace and distance based on your dog’s age, energy level, and needs. During pet sitting and house sitting, I do my best to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions are always followed closely. I respect your home, keep things tidy, and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I also provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident and at ease knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes and cats of all temperament (; I am available Mondays & Fridays, and after 5:30pm Tues-Thurs (Rover does not yet allow for sitters to block specific time windows.) I have grown up with pets and have been a volunteer at an animal shelter for over a year. I truly love all animals and am happy to offer safe, reliable care for your pet! I am based in Keyport, NJ and am more likely to be able to accommodate short notice requests close by. Please message with any questions! I currently offer care in YOUR home due to my lease agreement. I am very friendly and dogs really love my high pitched voice lol!

Cordelia has been a wonderful dog walker for Pepper. She is very reliable, puntual, caring, and clearly loves dogs. Pepper always barks when someone is at the door but not with her, she is happy to see her! She communicates with us all the time, send us pics and it’s very flexible! I highly recommend her.
Dina was very responsive upon our initial booking. She asked great questions and did an initial assessment before accepting the assignment. We appreciated her taking the time to get to know our fur babies and her commitment to their care. She quickly adapted to our one dog's behavior who didn't want to walk long. So she knew to take him back early. She is very personable and caring to make both our fur babies at ease. Thank you!
Ryan helped me with my dog in such a short notice!! Really appreciate his flexibility and patience with my big boy King! He can be very handful for some walkers! He was great with him send such adorable pictures and updates!! My mind was at ease knowing my baby was in good hands!! Would definitely book again and and recommend 100%
Vincent came twice to walk my dog, Tiberius, and he was amazing. He followed Tiberius’s training, gave him water and his meal, kept track of his bathroom breaks, and even sent me tons of pictures from their walks. It made me feel really at ease knowing exactly how my dog was doing. Tiberius loved him right away, and that says a lot because he’s a big dog and not always easy to handle. Vincent had such a good attitude and managed him with no problem. I’ll definitely be using him again!
