About: My entire life, I've been around animals of all sorts. From Small, loud, and feisty chihuahuas to big, stoic, and strong Pitbulls. I've owned cats, dogs, birds, and rabbits before and each one has only made my love and care of all animals grow each day. I'm available full time, 24/7 for whatever your pet needs may be. Any request you have, I can get it done and give your pet the love and care they deserve. I can give your pet as much (or as little) attention as they want and need. Walks, play, cuddles, or personal space. I'm also immune to the eyes by this point.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine love and patience I have for animals. I have experience caring for both playful puppies and senior dogs with special needs. I’m attentive, gentle, and always focused on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy. I’m also familiar with basic training, giving medications, and making sure every pet feels loved like they’re part of the family. Pet care is a big part of my everyday life because of my two dogs, Bobby and Dutch. They’ve taught me the importance of consistency, patience, and being present. My daily routine already includes early morning walks, feeding schedules, cleaning up, and plenty of playtime and cuddles. Caring for them has made me naturally organized and attentive to the needs of other pets. Whether it’s a puppy full of energy or a senior dog needing a slower pace, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and part of the family. Whether caring for pets in my home or my client’s, I prioritize making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their usual routine closely including meals, walks, potty breaks, and playtime while creating a calm, pet-friendly environment. I’m experienced with crate training and can help reinforce good habits, making sure pets feel secure in their space. I’m also comfortable administering medications when needed, carefully following instructions to ensure their health and well-being. I keep everything clean, provide regular updates to owners, and treat every pet like family. Thanks to Bobby and Dutch, I understand the importance of patience, structure, and lots of love in pet care.

I love that because my guest dogs have all access to explore!

About: What sets me apart is that I truly understand the ups, downs, and quirks that come with caring for pets at every stage of life—because I live it every day with my own three dogs. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time during the week to check in and take your dog on a walk and spend time with them I’m available anytime Monday through Thursday. I have a fenced in yard and I have a crate accessible for them as well. I also never leave my animals unattended while I am home.

About: With over two years of pet care experience, I genuinely love dogs and treat every pet like family. I pay close attention to little details, like their favorite toys, preferred walking spots, treat times, and how they like to be greeted. Whether it’s belly rubs or playtime, your pet’s comfort and happiness always come first Currently, I’m getting online early morning training in my new skills, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to your pet. Whether it’s morning walks, midday visits, or evening playtime, I can easily adjust to your pet’s routine I always prioritize safety, comfort, and trust when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s. I follow their routines, respect house rules, and pay attention to small details like locked gates and secure leashes. I create a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe and happy

About: I can share that passion with other dogs and dog owners that need a further assistance with the furry family members. Taking care of various dogs makes it easier to learn their needs and wants and if they are well trained it will be easier to take care of them, In the other hand I have patience and a commanding voice that helps them understand I am in control. Snacks are also available which help me develop trust and a bond in order to contribute to a healthy relationship. I currently work full time but I am at home Monday, Friday, Weeknights after work and Weekends at any time to make sure their needs are taken care of.

About: I was a soldier in my country, I took my dog training course and worked with many breeds. I really like sharing my time with pets and I will take care of them as if they were my own. I work part-time and I want to share my free time with pets and take care of them as if they were my own and pamper them so that they feel good with me until they return home. I have an empty backyard which I could use for the care and much more of your pets with the greatest security and more confidence

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 13 years, offering my services to neighbors and relatives during their 15-day vacations. I would take care of their pets by walking them to the park and ensuring they had plenty of playtime. I treat every animal with the same dedication and love as if they were my own. I traveled here to complete my studies at college and pursue a better life. I integrate pet care into my daily and weekly schedule by planning regular walks, structured play sessions, and timely feedings. Each pet receives individual attention based on their specific needs, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable. I also set aside time for basic grooming, training reinforcement, and health checks, which helps me maintain a consistent routine while prioritizing every pet’s well-being. In my home, I create a pet-friendly space with dedicated areas for feeding, resting, and playing, ensuring each pet follows a consistent routine of walks, playtime, and grooming. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strictly adhere to their established routines and follow all specific instructions regarding diet, medication, and exercise, while keeping the environment safe and providing regular updates to owners.

About: I have been around dogs nearly my entire life and I can never get enough of them. Dogs are not only our little furry friends, but they are also family, they need support, respect, attention and most of all love from someone who will give it to them 100% and whole heartedly which is why I take the utmost care and hold the greatest honor to be apart of any canines life. The loyalty and bond that can be created by these 2 individuals is like no other and throughout our entire lives we live and learn to realize who was by our side the most, giving us not only such amazing friends, but the most faithful, devoted and true companions we could ever know

“My first time using Rover. I am grateful that I was able to find Jornelle to feed and check in on my cat Daisy wile I was away. Great communication with daily pictures and updates. Great experience all around! I highly recommend Jornelle!”


About: I have been a huge dog lover ever since I can remember. As a 7 year old little girl I used to run downstairs to play, pet and show love to any dog I heard barking outside. When I got to High School I finally convinced my parents to allow me to bring a puppy home (German Shepard) and I completely dedicated my entire life to my dog, Kyser. My journey started with Kyser, who was my loyal companion for 16 unforgettable years until it was time to let him rest. My life literally revolved around Kyser despite the fact that I was only in high school. My social life came to a halt and anywhere I went, Kyser was by my side. I was so heartbroken when it was time to allow him to rest that my sister immediately got me my current dog, Duke, and as you can imagine, my life currently revolves around my baby, Dukey. Prime examples of my life revolving around my dog are, I literally only bought a house just so that I can provide my dog a safe and consistent space to reside in and remain in a safe, healthy and consistent environment at all times. Then I proceeded to purchase an SUV where my dog/dogs can travel with me comfortably on all road trips. The only time I leave my house now is to work because my only desire is to spent quality time with my dog either at home or at the park because my dog/s are what bring me the most peace in this life. My passion for dogs led me to work as a veterinary technician at an animal hospital for 5 years, where I had the privilege of caring for animals and learning even more about them. A few things set me apart from other sitters. With 5 years as a veterinary technician, I have hands-on experience with pet health, administering medications, handling emergencies, and recognizing signs of illness. This background is especially helpful for senior pets or those with medical needs. Another thing that sets me apart from other sitters are my training skills. I can reinforce basic commands, work on house-training, and use positive reinforcement techniques to support good behavior. Personalized care : I understand that every pet is unique. I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and quirks to provide customized care that keeps them comfortable and happy. Experience with All Ages : from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing a slower pace, I have the patience and adaptability to cater to pets at every life stage. My experience with Kyser and Duke have given me personal insight into caring for aging dogs, which can be an emotional and delicate process. Communication and Trust : I believe in keeping pet owners in the loop with regular updates, photos, and videos, so they feel confident and at ease while away. Passion and Peace : Dogs are not just animals to me - they are family to me. Caring for them isn't a job but a joy, and I treat every pet with the same love and attention I gave to Duke. Duke was my entire world but unfortunately had to let him rest in peace with some dignity as well just a couple of months ago. Now, nothing would give me more pleasure than to show your pup nothing but LOTS OF LOVE and a great day full of activities and fun. I currently am a Physical Education and Health Teacher therefore I am available during the week after 2:30pm. I am available all weekend at any time of the day or night. However, considering I only work 5 minutes from home I will be able to incorporate these daily and weekly routines as I have a lot of preps, lunch and downtime as a teacher. DAILY ROUTINE: Morning - Start the day with feeding, a walk (playtime), and any necessary medications. Midday - During my prep/lunch (2 hours) - I will provide bathroom breaks, a short walk or a play session in the yard. Afternoon/Evening - Another feeding, longer walk and more engaged playtime in the yard, followed by some winding-down time. Night - I will ensure pets are settled, comfortable, and safe for a good night's sleep. WEEKLY ROUTINE: Exercise Variety - I will include new games, toys, or walking routes t keep things fresh. Grooming Needs - I will brush their coat, clean their ears, or handle any specific grooming requirements. Training & Enrichment - I will dedicate time to reinforce good behavior or introduce new challenges. IN MY HOME : I have a fenced in yard and front lawn to keep your fur baby safe at all times. I will keep them active and engaged in the yard as we play catch and enjoy the fun in the sun. Preparation - I will Pet-proof the space, remove hazards, and set up a comfortable area with bedding, toys and water. Routine - I will stick to their feeding, walking, and sleeping schedules to reduce stress. Supervision - I will keep an eye on them, especially during the first few days as they adjust. Safe Spaces - I will provide quiet spots for rest, especially for pets who may feel overwhelmed. Enrichment - I will engage in play, training, and mental stimulation tailored to their needs. IN THE CLIENT'S HOME: Respect Their Space - I will follow the pet's usual routine closely and maintain house rules. Familiar Comforts - I will use the pet's own bedding, toys and food to minimize changes. Security - I will ensure the home is secure and always follow the client's guidelines for locking doors and setting alarms. Communication - I will send updates, photos or videos to the pet owner for peace of mind. Cleanliness - I will keep the space tidy, clean up after the pet and leave home as I found it. I will provide water inside the house and in the yard during play time. We will have time to cuddle and bond while we recuperate for our next activity in the yard.

About: Hey! My name is Lenaiya and I am a Military Police Officer who loves fur babies. I grew up surrounded by many pets and that fact alone made me want to pursue a career in the army as a 31K (Military Working Dog Handler) when the position becomes available. I feel like pets should be treated with the same love and care we give ourselves because they too have feelings just as much as we do. When they’re happy I’m happy. Me being an empath allows me to tune into their emotions and provide the necessary care they need. I love being out in Nature and taking walks in the park (which is ironically across the street from my house). We will definitely be exercising, learning and eating a diet that is optimal for the health of the dogs as I’m very athletic and an advocate for healthy eating habits. I’ve volunteered for many shelters and loved every moment. I’m all about quality assurance and the Virgo in me is naturally nurturing. My home is fur baby heaven and I strive to make sure they are not only in the best environment but they also enjoy the environment they’re in as well. I’ve also pet sat for a plethora of family and friends when they’ve gone out of town. I couldn’t imagine my life without the company of furry friends so with that being said, I can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby family! I care for my grandma a few hours a day throughout the week and spend most of my time at home. Some of my best moments are spent in the comfort of my own home. Them stretching those legs is far from an issue. I have plenty of room in my home for them to just be themselves and a room specifically for the comfort of them. I’m not a fan of keeping animals caged up because I wouldn’t want that for me so I allow them to be free and themselves when under my care.

Dayton-Weequahic Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Lillian is awesome! Extremely attentive. Always left great notes. She was prompt and showed up twice daily at consistent time frames to take care of my little man! He is shy, and she even got him to snuggle on her lap after a few days of bonding! I know my little buddy Charleston is in great hands now whenever I leave town because I have Lillian to help care for him! Thanks again!

We’ve used Joseph twice now to watch our cats and will absolutely continue to do so in the future. He’s communicative, follows instructions as requested, and goes above and beyond to make sure we know our fur babies are safe and sound. His photo updates and descriptions of how the check-ins go are always a great way to provide peace and comfort while we’re away.
