“Chloe clicked with my dog Ellie instantly, they loved each other during the meet and greet. We left Ellie in good hands for one day with Chloe. She stopped by several times during the day and next day to make sure Ellie was well fed and loved. The pictures she sent made me relieved that Ellie was well taken care of while I was away. I’ll definitely be asking her to care for my dog next time I’m away 💛.”
“Peter was very attentive with Meeko making sure his needs were taken care of! I received lots of updates and pics which made me feel reassured Meeko was in good hands. Thank you!”
“Anne did a great job. Always on time every day. Did what she can to clean up litters ，refill foods, play with cat and stayed as long as requested. A great cat care giver!”
“Sara was an absolutely amazing pet sitter for the week. She took such good care of my two cats that this was the first time they weren’t mad at me for days after I returned home. She sent plenty of pictures everyday that really put me at ease and showed me that my babies were happy. Sara also went above and beyond when my flight home got cancelled and she was able to go and feed them for an extra day. Sara was great with communication and anyone would be lucky to have her watch their pets. I will definitely be using her for any future vacations!”
“Cheryl & Elmar each dropped-in to visit my new 10 week old puppy who is adapting to his parents going back to work. Hudson absolutely loved playing with them and they provided plenty of pictures and videos to ensure Hudson was comfortable and having a great time.”
About: Animals are the center of my universe. I grew up with animals of all kinds; cats, dogs, bunnies, hamsters, birds, fish, ferrets. I’m currently a mom to a female golden retriever, two beautiful ferret daughters and a baby boy bird. I hope to retire one day and own an animal rescue farm. I believe it is our job as humans to give all sentient beings the absolute best love and care and to make sure they feel safe. I am keen to make sure wildlife is safe wherever possible. I’ll pull over on the side of the road to help turtles cross to the other side of the reservoir. On a daily basis I will prioritize every animal from the moment I wake up. I can and will do it all. Feeding, cleaning, walking, playing, giving them love and attention. As I mentioned above, animals are the center of my universe. I want each and every animal to trust me and feel safe with me while under my care.
About: I am retired and have recently relocated to northern jersey. I am an avid animal lover. I have always had my own pets. Unfortunately, I had to say goodbye to my fur baby of 13 1/2 years and am not quite ready to adopt at this time but sincerely miss having an animal in my life. I am helping to care for a dear friend’s cat and although truthfully I am more a "dog" person, I now find myself beginning to appreciate "cats”. Cats are really fascinating (and a lot different) than dogs. I believe that I am a person who you can trust with one of your most prized possessions, your "fur-babies". I love walking, so dog walking is a win win!! Drop in visits are also no problem!! Unfortunately. I am unable to offer pet sitting at this time. I love to walk and especially enjoy walking for a furry companion. Home visits for either dogs and cats are also something I enjoy doing. I am currently unavailable for pet sitting. However, I do prefer walking small or medium dogs and will give them the exercise and/or company they need.
“She is the best and most patient sitter I have ever met. She not only did a fantastic job she helped my Dino start to get over his anxiety! Work in progress as it’s a journey and she has the patience of a saint!”
“Andrea is amazing. My cat Penny is super sweet but vibe with cats is everything. Penny loved her and she was a joy to work with. Always on top of giving meds and doing the hour long stay I requested. Leaving Penny in Andrea's care is the best trip decision I made.”
“Helene is awesome. I heard her on my ring cameras talking to my pups, and could immediately tell she’s a true animal lover. She followed my instructions and sent several great photos. We will most definitely be repeat customers!”
About: I've had a love for animals as long as I can remember. As a young child finding strays , cats or dogs and caring for them until the owners where found. Love these fur babies and will care for them like my own. I am currently unemployed and love animals and walking -perfect fit! My schedule is open to help when needed. Would love to schedule a meetup with your fur baby. Each pet has its own routine to be discussed prior to my care. Will follow the needs of each pet individually and any additional requirements as needed.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to gentle seniors, and I treat every pet like family. I’m attentive to each dog’s unique needs—whether it’s giving medication, maintaining training routines, or providing plenty of exercise and affection. I’m patient, reliable, and detail-oriented, so you can trust your pup will be safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to make their day (and yours) stress-free. I’m available on weekends and weekday evenings after 5 PM, making it easy to fit walks, drop-ins, or overnight care into my schedule. I’ll work around your pet’s routine to make sure they’re comfortable and cared for when you can’t be there. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your instructions closely, keep a watchful eye on their well-being, and make sure they always have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of love. I’m mindful of secure leashing during walks, safe playtime, and keeping their environment calm and stress-free. You can feel confident knowing your pet is in caring, reliable hands!

About: If you care enough to be here on Rover seeking a pet sitter, you must feel the same as I do; your pet is a family member. As a former veterinary technician, I can attest this is not the case with all people. Whether you use my services or not, I respect you very much for being here and appreciate your devotion to your pet. That being said, my commitment to taking care of animals reaches no bounds. I am a firm believer our pets don't live long enough, and for that reason any moment we can make special for them we should. I want each visit with your pet to be special. I will gladly send you video or text updates if requested. In short, what I want to offer is top-notch veterinary trained experience at an affordable rate. I welcome the opportunity to meet your pet(s)! I invite you to meet my pet family in the pictures below. Personally, I own a very active ten year old whippet pit bull mix. She has special needs and requires six small feedings a day as well as IBS management during times of transition. I have a two year old son who drops food often and I must be diligent about making sure she is not eating his food. I understand pets can be unpredictable and move fast when motivated as a result. It is important to foresee what negative things can happen so I make sure to be proactive while caring for my pets and others as well.

Lynda L.
“I have known Lynda a long time. We call her “Ellie Mae Clampett”. She is truly the most involved caregiver for animals I have yet to encounter in my 60+ years. Lynda has taken care of our 2 golden retrievers until these two dogs were 16 and 17 years old. She frequently involved herself with our English Shepard and now with our newer golden. A dedicated animal lover to the core. Lynda has also cared for an Eclectus parrot that was in our home for several years. That bird was very hard for anyone to get close to…Lynda did and handled him easily and with his permission. If there is anyone I would have in my home to responsibly take care of my animals…Lynda is a first choice always. Trustworthy and sincere should be her middle names.”

Also, Debbie gets concerned about one of our friend’s cats and will purchase food and kitty litter to ensure the fur babies’ have a plentiful supply. You can depend on Debbie to take care of your pet as if it were her own or Kobe.”
