“Elaine is truly an angel. She was heaven sent. Our elderly Chihuahua is difficult and she was able to take care of him and made it seem effortless. She even had to sing to him to get him to get out of his bed!!! She sent pictures and communicated in real time. We are very grateful for her and would give a 10 star review if that was an option. Thank you Elaine!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs all Summer 2025 through Rover, and it’s been such a rewarding experience getting to meet so many wonderful pups and families. As I head off to Rutgers for school, my parents are excited to continue offering the same loving, reliable care that our clients have come to expect. Dogs have been a part of our family since I was 4 years old, so creating a safe and happy environment for them has always come naturally to us. Beyond our personal experience, I’ve worked in multiple animal shelters in both New Jersey and Arizona, caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. That same patience and dedication carries over into the care my parents will now provide at home. Whether your dog is full of energy or prefers a calm, gentle pace, you can trust that they’ll be treated like family every step of the way. I’m currently home from Arizona State University and have a very open and flexible schedule. Whether your pet needs early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight care, I’m available and ready to help. I can easily accommodate last-minute requests and am committed to giving your pet consistent attention and care throughout the day. I prioritize safety by following each pet’s routine and needs closely, whether in my home or yours. I keep a calm, clean, and secure environment and always communicate clearly with pet parents. Your pet’s comfort and well-being are my top priorities, and I treat every home with respect and care.

“Ollie loved walking with Jade! She was a total lifesaver for us today, since we couldn’t give him the normal exercise we usually would like to. Jade is super friendly, helpful and was great with our boy!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has grown up with dogs and have had a sweet cat of my own for the past 7 years. Caring for pets has always been second nature to me, and I know how important it is to find someone you can trust. I treat every pet like they’re my own—with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs.

I have a fenced in yard and a sweet black lab that can keep your pet company. I can also separate them if needed. I also have a 7 year old Russian Blue that is dog and cat friendly.

About: I have had pets of my own since I was 13! In college, I became a professional dog trainer for PetSmart and puppy raiser for The Seeing Eye puppy raising program. Not only have I cared for a household of my own four pets, but have pet and house sat for many of my family, friends, and coworkers! My hybrid schedule at work gives me the flexibility to care for pets on lunch breaks and weeknights after 5pm as well as unlimited time to spend with your fur babies on the weekends! At home, I have two friendly large dogs, as well as a fenced in yard for plenty of exercise. Constant supervision is the most important thing to me when caring for your fur babies!

Chelsea took amazing care of my cat. She made sure to follow the special instructions I left and took lots of cute photos of my girl. I also really appreciated the updates she gave me every day. Chelsea made me feel good about leaving my cat at home while I went on a trip. Thanks Chelsea!

Carleigh was very puntual and thorough with her communication during her visits. My dog enjoyed her time with Carleigh. She was very professional and attentive to my dog. I will definitely recommend her to anyone needing her services. I appreciate her services and her time with my dog.

Shauntia quickly became our dog's best friend, and I am sure that your dog will luv her too! Miles is our 170 lb. Great Dane (lovable, gentle, but BIG) so we were impressed with how quickly Shauntia built a great rapport with him. When you invite Shauntia to care for your pet, you can be sure that it wont simply be a "visit" but it will be time that your pet will genuinely enjoy spending with her.
