About: Hi, I’m a lifelong cat lover and proud cat mom of 12+ years! ❤️ My experience goes far beyond being a pet owner—I’ve volunteered at an NYC animal shelter and have fostered cats for local shelters and rescue organizations. I’m also very responsive! I work from my phone frequently, so I’m just a call or text away. I know how important it is to get updates and feel connected to your pet while you’re away, and I’ll always send photos and vdos of your fur babies. I work part-time and live only about 10 minutes from work, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m able to spend plenty of time with your cat. 📱 I’m also very responsive! I work from my phone frequently, so I’m just a call or text away. I know how important it is to get updates and feel connected to your pet while you’re away, and I’ll always do my best to respond quickly. 🏡 When your cat stays with me: To keep every cat in my home safe, healthy, and comfortable, I have a few requirements for all boarding stays. 💉 Vaccination Records Before a booking is confirmed, I require current veterinary records showing: * Rabies vaccination * FVRCP vaccination Your cat will have their own private room with a window, giving them a quiet, peaceful space to relax and decompress without feeling overwhelmed. I want their stay to feel safe, comfortable, and as close to home as possible. For the health and safety of every cat in my care, the boarding area will be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized after every stay.
“Highly recommend Stephanie! She looked after my cat over the long weekend and was amazing. There were power cuts while I was gone, and she went completely out of her way to check in on him and keep him safe. Mattie was so happy and relaxed when I got back.”
“Jiajia was very communicative and thorough in her sessions with my cat mousse! She sent lots of pics, videos and summaries of their time. Helped me feel at ease as I was away from my kitty during the holidays”
About: I’ve owned and/or taken care of cats longer than I can remember. While I’ve never owned a dog myself, I’ve watched my friends and neighbors dogs often. Sometimes people bring their dogs into the office, and everyone knows that’s where you’ll find me. I can match the energy of your pets whether that’s doing loops around my yard, or giving half an hour of ear scratches while they snooze. Please tell me all about your pet, I’d love to know them personally! I work full time, week days from 9am-5pm, but am otherwise available! Weekends are flexible, and I’m also very willing to work after I come home from work, usually by 5:15 or so I have a fenced in back yard, and 3 pretty friendly cats at home. They’re extremely non-threatening and more likely to get scared and hide than anything. I am able to crate or separate pets as needed, I do have an extra room so if a separated stay is needed, it’s no issue. I also have a camera I can set up where needed to check in during the day while I am out. I do also have a basement, it’s not officially finished but I’ve turned it into a safe and comfy enough space that I trust my own kitties to have full access to. Any overnight visitors are more than welcome to have that whole space to be separated in, if owner is comfortable with it!
About: I love animals and have experience working with and sitting for a wide range of them, including dogs, cats, and small or exotic animals. I myself have owned over twenty parrots (currently have two in the aviary!) and have extensive experience with fishkeeping — I have four cycled, walstad fish and shrimp tanks! I can walk your dog, clean your cat’s litter box, and even do water changes for your fish if needed! Anything to make sure your little guys are well cared for! I’m a graduate student who will be free over the summer, so my schedule is flexible until late August. I can make myself and my home available as needed. I live in a townhome that features a large, lush, and open neighborhood to walk your dogs in. My home has two floors; the first floor is where your pet will stay. When your pet is in my home, they are treated like members of my family. They will be fed, walked, and enriched on your schedule, and will be allowed to sit on the couch and even sleep in my bed at nights if comfortable. I take great care to ensure that your pet’s stay is comfortable and fun-filled. In my home, I currently have two budgies in a large cage and two betta fish, each in 5-10 gallon tanks. The parrots are allowed to free fly for most of the day, but they will be put away or kept caged when your pets are being boarded. When I am in your home, I cultivate the utmost respect. I try not to disturb or move anything that’s not necessary. I’ll make use of only what’s given to me with regards to caring for your pet, and leave everything else exactly how I found it.
About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs since I was little, so animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently have a loving 7-year-old Pit Bull, and being a pet parent has taught me so much about patience, responsibility, and giving pets the love and attention they deserve. I absolutely love animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that means going for walks, playing, cuddling, or simply keeping them company. My family and friends have always trusted me to care for their pets when they’re out of town, busy, or just need an extra hand. I’ve cared for dogs and cats with different personalities and needs, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I want every animal in my care to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and spoiled while their humans are away! My work schedule gives me the flexibility to incorporate pet sitting into my daily and weekly routine. I work throughout New Jersey, so I’m often able to adjust my schedule and make time to care for your pets when they need me. Whether it’s stopping by for a visit, feeding, playtime, or giving them some extra love and attention, I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and needs. My goal is to provide reliable, consistent care while making sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away! When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. For dog walks, I’ll make sure your pup gets a safe, enjoyable walk with plenty of time to sniff, explore, and get some energy out. For check-ins, I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, fresh water, playtime, bathroom breaks, and any other needs your pet may have. I’ll also give them plenty of attention and affection so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.
About: Hi, I’m Cherish! I’ve been passionately pet sitting since 2019. While I took a brief break from Rover, I am so excited to be back doing what I love most: providing top-tier, reliable care for your fur babies. Over the years, I have specialized in advanced pet care. I am fully confident and experienced in administering medications, including both oral treatments and injections. I also have a deep tenderness and specialized experience caring for blind and deaf dogs, ensuring they feel safe, secure, and loved. Don't worry if your pup is on the younger side, though—I have plenty of stamina to keep up with high-energy puppies who need lots of playtime! In addition to dogs I have experience with single or multi-cat households as well as exotic pet care like birds, turtles, lizards, chinchillas, and fish Dog Room and Care Services for Your Furry Friend Your beloved pet deserves the best and I am excited to offer a dedicated dog room in my home that provides everything your pup needs for comfort, including crates, couches, and cots. I guarantee your furry friend will have plenty of playtime and potty breaks, alternating every 2 to 3 hours between indoor and outdoor activities. Please note that all new guests are required to have a meet and greet prior to booking their stay, and unfortunately, same-day bookings cannot be accommodated. My goal is to stick to your pet's schedule and ensure that every stay is a positive and enjoyable experience. I have a fenced in yard and dedicated dog room. For any pups who may not be adjusting to the pup room I do allow them in other areas of the house.
“Super pet sitter. Got to meet Jasmin before going away for 2 weeks & having her care for our cat with drop-in visits. She was easy to communicate & coordinate with, very understanding of our cat’s kind of special needs & I felt very comfortable leaving Teddy while we were away. Would recommend & will book again!”
About: I have an elderly dog with various medical conditions including diabetes. I am comfortable administering her insulin and making sure her medications are taken with meals. I have cared for cats and dogs alike when friends are out of town. Often, it is walks, playtime, cleaning litter boxes, and providing fresh food and water. I am a school-based occupational therapist with a lighter schedule, looking for a fun way to fill my time. I love going out on walks and getting a couple extra steps in. In a clients home, detailed instructions and honesty about a pets personality and reactivity is key. This ensures both mine and the pet’s safety when caring for them in a way that the owner, pet, and I are comfortable with.
“Cassidy was wonderful! She was extremely communicative, arrived right on time, and shared plenty of photos and updates from her visit. My cats were relaxed and happy in her care, which gave me great peace of mind. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“My cats were so happy and relaxed when I got home! I could tell they got lots of love and attention from Kayla while I was away. I will definitely ask her to take care of them again in the future. She was also super friendly and comfortable to meet :)”
About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 7 years old, when I got my first dog. Over the years I've cared for dogs of different sizes, breeds, ages and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets. As a mom, I'm responsible, patient, and used to keeping a busy household on routine. I'm comfortable following each dog's individual routine and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. When your pet stays with me, they'll be treated like part of the family. I work during the day, but my grandmother is home all day, and my son is home after school and loves animals. Pets will have plenty of company throughout the day while I'm at work, and I'll provide their walks, playtime and attention before and after work. Overnight boarding is welcomed! I have a fenced yard where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time, along with a comfortable home environment. I'm happy to follow your pet's routine and can crate your dog if needed or preferred.

“Of course! Here’s a warm, concise review you could leave: Joanne took wonderful care of my cat while I was away. She was reliable, communicative, and made sure he had everything he needed during each visit. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter! 🐱💙”
About: I have over seven years of pet care experience! I unfortunately do not have a dog of my own, due to allergies in my home but I have always loved animals and I’ve always wanted a dog! Because of this, the time that I get to spend with for babies is extra special, and I love on them extra hard! I consistently babysat a golden doodle throughout four years of high school. I also frequently babysit my boyfriend’s 2 golden retrievers, my best friend’s frenchie, my cousin’s labradoodle, my uncle’s 2 puppies and now my brother’s puppy! I am able to work from home, and stay with your sweet pup(s) all day long! My schedule is flexible to mend to your pet’s needs. I look forward to being a helping hand and being a caregiver for your pets! I am unavailable on Tuesdays for walks/stop ins. But every other day of the week, I am able to come check in on your pet multiple times a day and do overnight stays. I prioritize walks and play time to keep your pet healthy and happy! I am also able to take your pet out for rides and nature trails, if that is okay with you! I have worked in childcare for about 10 years and have had many background checks and have worked with all age groups. I believe myself to be incredibly trustworthy and caring. I am completely understanding that it could be a daunting thing to leave your sweet fur babies with a stranger, but I can assure you that they are in great hands with me! I am always willing to set up a meeting beforehand so you can get to know me!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Colonia
Ellen was wonderful caring for my ten-year-old cat Taffy through drop-in visits while I was away. Taffy is ordinarily fearful of strangers, but took a liking to Ellen immediately. Ellen is also a pleasure to work with and I look forward to using her again in my future times away from home.
I’ve had a great experience with Taylor as my pet sitter! She is reliable and always takes great care of my cats. She sends plenty of updates and pictures, which gives me peace of mind while I’m away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
Morgann has been absolutely amazing with our kittens! We could not recommend her more. She is punctual and trusting. She goes above and beyond with our cats. She sends updates and is always checking in, which has brought a lot of comfort. Our kittens genuinely look forward to her visits and they are visibly happy because of all that she does. She clearly loves animals and it shows in our cats! We left her with a huge list of instructions and sometimes with last minute things, but she has always handled everything with grace and such an accommodating spirit. She has been great and we will always choose to use her if she has the availability!
Highly recommend Stephanie! She looked after my cat over the long weekend and was amazing. There were power cuts while I was gone, and she went completely out of her way to check in on him and keep him safe. Mattie was so happy and relaxed when I got back.
McKenna took care of our two cats while we were out of the country on vacation. She came over before our departure for a meet-and-greet and was very friendly. She took great care of the cats while we were away and kept us updated with pics and messages. We highly recommend McKenna if you need assistance with your pets.
