About: Since birth, I grew up around all different kinds of animals. I’ve raised 3 beautiful pit bulls and lab mix while also having the opportunity to dog sit friends pets from Golden Retriever’s to Yorkies. I am currently going to school part-time so I have plenty of free time to watch over your pets! My schedule is very flexible and easy to work around. I have a fenced backyard as well as front yard. I love playing fetch with my dog while also playing tag. After tricks, she loves receiving her treats.

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.

About: I provide loving, dependable care for all kinds of pets, making sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home. I have experience with puppy training, senior pets, and anxious animals, and I always adjust my care to fit each pet’s personality and needs. Now that I’m no longer working full-time and only attending college part-time, I have wide availability for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or a relaxing walk, I treat every furry (or feathered!) friend like family—their comfort and happiness always come first. Available whenever you need me night or morning. Send me a text and I'm sure we can figure a schedule that works for everyone! Thank you ! I'm detail-oriented, carefully managing every aspect of pet care, from feeding to medication. Respectful of others' property, I ensure their home is treated with utmost care, making pet care seamless and reliable.

“Irisdelie was amazing, great communication and so so wonderful with my cats. Provided great updates with adorable pictures after each visit. I felt very comfortable and happy knowing my babes were being well cared for and loved while I was away.”



“She was wonderful with my knuckle head German Shepard. She walked, feed, and played with him even though he’s an excited nervous dog. She updated me on anything that happened while I was gone for my 5days and even with pictures! Marlita even went one step above and gave me tips and tricks to help with my dogs anxiety and I couldn’t have asked for more. Her jovial attitude has had a profound effect on me and my dog and I will definitely use her again.”

“Neide took such great care of CJ. It was my first time using Rover so I was nervous but she cared for my cat as if it were her own. She sent daily pictures and even a video.”


“Mateo is responsible and patient. He was Able to win over my very shy dog . Mateo responded to my text messages in a timely matter. I plan on using Mateo in the near future to take care of Chaos ( dog ) .”


“Tong was again incredible in watching our dog while we went to a wedding - the peace of mind was invaluable! She really knows what she’s doing and invests her time - thank you again Tong!”


“I highly recommend Enrique for their exceptional in-home pet care services. They provided attentive and loving care for my puppy, ensuring they felt comfortable and happy while I was away. Will definitely be booking again!”


About: $20 off your 1st rover service! https://www.rover.com/sit/chrisy67308 I have a German shepherd malinois which is also my first pet. I love him to death and take his health (mentally, physically, etc) seriously. I would do the same for yours! I have dog sat 3 dogs at once (including mine) for a few weeks before. My dog can acclimate to new dogs after a meet and greet. I can handle dogs with raw food diets and have baby gates in some rooms to separate dogs if they're not getting along! I have a back yard to run around in (not grass). I have time on the weekends and wfh. I have gated fences and rooms. I can watch dogs while I work. I can take them on walks in the afternoon. I can crate if needed (need to assemble - fits gsd). I can handle walking dogs up and down stairs (weight dependent). I will ask for permission before giving any "new" treats or meal items.

About: I’ve been a dedicated dog lover for years! I raised a sweet Devon for three years and currently care for a lovable Yorkshire Terrier. I'm especially close to my Yorkie — she sleeps in my arms every night! I understand how much pets mean to us, and I treat every dog like family. Whether it’s cuddle time, potty breaks, or just keeping them company, I’m attentive, gentle, and truly a dog person at heart. I’d love to care for your furry friend like my own. Pet care is a natural and joyful part of my daily life. I currently care for my own pets, including a Yorkie and a Devon Rex cat, so I’m already used to routines like feeding, potty breaks, grooming, and giving them attention throughout the day. I organize my schedule to make sure I have time for walks, play, and cuddles — whether it’s early in the morning or in the evening. Adding another furry friend to my routine is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for! When pets stay in my home, I make sure they feel comfortable and safe from the moment they arrive. I introduce them slowly to the space, provide a cozy area to rest, and follow their regular schedule for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime. I only accept a small number of pets at a time, so they get plenty of attention and care. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and full of love — and I always supervise interactions if other pets are around.

About: I grew up with dogs, they were a big part of my childhood. I've learned to love them as family, care for them and make them feel at home. For me, interacting with dogs is not only a job but necessary. I'm a very active person so I'm ready to play and run all day at the park, beach or any public spaces with your dog. I live in an apartment but I'm located nearby parks and dog friendly spaces in the Santa Monica area. I love the outdoors but don't mind staying indoors and cozy. I'm mostly available during weekdays during the day, but I'm flexible to accommodate depending in the need. I am auditioning most of the week, so my schedule is both flexible and depends on the time of my auditions. I usually go for walks with the dogs and play with them, and their preferred toys. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend(s)!

“Kayla was absolutely WONDERFUL with our two cats. Our cats are still acclimating to one another, and not only did she spend time with each of them but she did an amazing job at having them play together, listening to them if they had enough, and overall giving them many positive bonding experiences with each other. I also have a much more involved feeding routine/schedule for them than most people, and she followed everything perfectly. I always looked forward to her reports and pictures, and she was very thorough on her stay and how the cats were acting/feeling. I'm 100% sure they will miss her (especially Filo) and I will definitely call on Kayla again in the future!”


About: I grew up with Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, and mixed breed dogs. Experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and cats. I'm a former college track athlete, and am happy to take your dog on runs, if requested. I'm a May 2025 MBA grad currently on the job search, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pups! I'm a lifelong animal lover and previously walked and dog-sat through Rover in NYC back in 2021, before relocating to Harrison, NJ. I can never spend too much time with dogs! Available for walks, house sitting, drop-in visits, doggy day care, and cat sitting. Excited to meet your four-legged friend! Also happy to take your dog on a run, if requested.

“Kelsey was awesome..She showed up when she said she would. She did everything that was necessary and even took an extra step to make my pets not feel lonely..I would def use her again and you should too.She was the best”


About: What sets me apart from other dog walkers is the combination of my extensive experience and personalized approach to dog care. With my 5 years of dog ownership, I've honed my understanding of various breeds, temperaments, and specific needs dogs may have. Beyond just walking, I have hands-on training experience, which allows me to handle behavioral challenges effectively and ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for every dog in my care. My approach isn't just about physical exercise. I prioritize building strong bonds with the dogs I work with, understanding their personalities, and tailoring activities to suit their energy levels and preferences. This personalized attention fosters trust and comfort, both for the dogs and their owners, knowing their pets are in capable hands. Also, I stay updated on best practices and new developments in dog behavior and care through continued research. This commitment ensures that I can offer the highest quality of service. My dedication, experience, and passion for dogs set me apart, providing peace of mind to owners knowing their furry family members will be well taken care of and protected. I work most nights so during the day, I’m a full time dog dad. As a dedicated caregiver, I take responsibility for every aspect of your dog's well-being, including walking, training, and feeding. My commitment extends to being attentive to cues that signal when your dog needs to go outside. Whether it's recognizing signs like restlessness, sniffing around, or sitting by the door, I ensure prompt and responsive action to meet their needs. With me, your dog not only receives essential care but also benefits from a loving, attentive approach that prioritizes their comfort and happiness throughout our time together. 1. Safety First: I prioritize safety by carefully assessing walking routes, ensuring they are free of hazards like traffic or aggressive animals. I use secure leashes and harnesses appropriate for your dog's size and temperament. Additionally, I stay informed about local pet regulations and emergency procedures. 2. Building Trust: Trust is foundational in my interactions with dogs. I take the time to understand each dog's personality and preferences, respecting their boundaries while encouraging positive behaviors through consistent training techniques. By being patient, gentle, and reliable, I establish a trusting relationship where your dog feels secure and valued. 3. Creating a Positive Environment: I strive to create a nurturing environment where your dog feels comfortable and happy. This includes maintaining a routine that aligns with their needs, whether it's regular walks, playtime, or feeding schedules. I also provide mental stimulation through interactive toys and games, ensuring they remain engaged and fulfilled. By focusing on safety, trust-building, and a positive environment, I ensure that every dog in my care receives the attention and care they deserve, promoting their overall well-being and happiness.

About: As a caring pup mom, I offer loving, safe, fun, and attentive care for your fur baby, fun walks, playtime, and affection, ensuring your pet feels happy and safe! I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your dogs. I’m also available for boarding on weekends and most weekdays. I can also house sit and walk dogs. I have a fenced yard and a puppy to keep your dog company. I’m always attentive toward other animals to make sure your dogs needs are met and also feel safe.

About: Moved to New Jersey and miss my puppy back in Texas:( I’ve always had pets growing up and have a lot of experience with animal care. My schedule is pretty open as I just moved moved and am looking for work right now. I am free weekends & weekdays and excited to be around animals again! I will make sure your animal is safe and we will have clear communication of what is expected. We will have plenty of play time.

East Newark pet parents share their Rover experiences
Had a fantastic first experience with Hsin Yun and Phil. They were extremely communicative and took fantastic care of our many cats! I felt like my cats had extra special care taken towards them and will definitely look forward to booking them again in the future.

Sasha was amazing! Our little guy loved her. She is so caring, she takes the time for your fur baby to get used to her and know her, she’s reliable as well! She is also very communicative every step of the way putting out mind at ease as such a trustworthy caretaker of our Dog. What a wonderful person and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone else!

Jamie-Ann was fantastic and super accommodating. She did well with my pups and went above and beyond by bringing in my mail and a package because I forgot to stop the mail. She also communicated well and kept me updated on any changes with the doggies. I will def use her again.
