Anahi is a wonderful person and sitter! She is friendly, kind, and a great communicator. I was very nervous as it was my first time using the site to find a sitter, but I made the right choice booking Anahi. I was not expecting my shy cat to interact with her right away, but from the first visit, she was sharing pictures of them playing together, and him seeking her out for affection as she walked in on the second visit. I do believe animals are a great judge of character and I will be booking her for my next trip. Highly recommend.

About: Hello, I’m Evan, a grad student who has recently completed an MA and I’ve decided to continue my education on a part-time basis. I’m seeking part-time work to help supplement my schedule and since I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, this seemed like the perfect fit! I have cared for various dogs, cats and a bird over the years whether it was for friends or family. I’ve raised a cat of my own from a kitten and also care for my roommate’s cat on a full-time basis. I have a relatively large build, so I’m comfortable caring for large dogs as well. Looking forward to working with you soon! I care daily for both mine and my neighbor’s cat. It takes up a set portion of each morning and night and is one of the highlights of my day. I always ensure a safe, clean and secure environment, make sure they’re always properly fed and provided water and make sure their social needs are met. I interact with them as much as possible throughout the day.

About: Hi! I’ve been dog sitting for about 7 years and have experience with pups as young as 4 months all the way up to senior dogs. I honestly love them all, but puppies are my favorite because of their energy, and I also love a good cuddle with an older dog. I’m comfortable with all breeds and personalities, and I always try to match whatever routine your dog is used to so they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. Whether that’s walks, trips to the dog park, or just hanging out at home, I’m happy to do it all. I can also administer medication if needed, and I know the cheese trick very well so giving pills is usually quick and stress-free. I recently moved to the area and am currently rebuilding my client base, so I’m very flexible and can often accommodate last-minute bookings. I’m a local college student who is home for the summer, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I plan my days around the pets I’m taking care of. On days I have work, I’m still able to stop by before and after, and on my off days I have even more availability for walks, visits, or overnight care. I always make sure to follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions you provide. I 100% respect the environment I’m in and the boundaries I’m given. I treat your home like it’s my own and always leave it exactly how I found it, with the exception of a toy or two left out from playtime! My goal is to keep your pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

Kacy was the best & well worth the $100 tip! She provided last minute services to pick up my Remi (whom she had never met) from the vet and followed detail instructions to take her to the suites. This was a very challenging decision as I am not from or live in NJ and didnt know anyone. This dog lover is the best! I will use her services again hands down! Me & Remi thank you so much Kacy!

About: I love dogs more than people 😉 and have been around them my entire life — from Silky Terriers to German Shepherds. I’m a responsible, attentive, and genuinely caring person who will treat your dog like my own. We currently do not have any animals in the home, which allows me to focus fully on your dog’s care and comfort. While we live in an apartment, we’re just a few blocks from the beach in Asbury Park and have access to excellent walking routes. I take dogs on long daily walks of at least 3 miles and am always happy to go farther if that suits your pup. I’m especially understanding of dogs who may be anxious or reactive around other dogs. I know how stressful it can be to leave a dog with behavioral sensitivities, and I’m committed to providing a safe, calm, and structured environment. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I currently work outside the home three days a week. My husband works for the city and is home daily for lunch, so your dog will never go longer than about three hours without a potty break. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I spent 12 years caring for a dog who was reactive toward other dogs, so I understand how important structure, vigilance, and clear communication are. I take instructions seriously and will follow your care and safety guidelines closely — whether that means avoiding other dogs, using specific equipment, or sticking to a familiar routine. Our home is calm and pet-focused, and we currently do not have any animals, allowing me to tailor care to your dog’s individual needs. I’m attentive, proactive, and thoughtful in my approach, and I’m committed to creating a safe, predictable environment where your dog can feel secure and relaxed.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was young, starting with my own dog at age 11 and continuing through years of dog sitting, walks, and overnight care for family and neighbors. I currently have a 54 lb high energy puppy of my own, which has given me even more hands on experience with exercise needs, structure, and daily care. I’m especially comfortable with dog walking and drop-in visits, and I love getting dogs outside, keeping them active, and making sure they’re happy and well cared for while you’re away. I also have experience with high energy breeds, puppies, and administering medication when needed. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care so you can feel confident your dog is safe, exercised, and cared for like they’re my own I currently work remote from home, so I have plenty of time to play with your animals and give them all the love and attention they need! I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm, positive environment for every pet in my care. I always follow owner instructions closely and make sure your pet feels secure and well cared for at all times

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life until I lost my last one in 2023 and decided to adopts cats. But there’s nothing like a bond between a dog and a human.

I am off wednesday mornings as well and on the weekends. So i’d be a great walker! I follow a strict program. Wherever I am needed in the house, I will be there.

About: I have experience dog walking through ........ and Wag, along with growing up with dogs and walking medium-sized dogs in the past. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and energy levels and focused on safe, calm, and reliable walks. I work full-time, so I incorporate pet care into my evenings and weekends. I’m available for weekday evening walks and more flexible on weekends, and I’m also open to short, occasional bookings or drop-ins when needed. I plan my schedule in advance so I can be consistent and reliable for clients. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to keep the pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. I focus on safety, leash control, and making sure dogs feel comfortable during walks or visits. I’m attentive to each dog’s energy level and adjust the pace accordingly, whether that’s a calm walk or a more active outing. I’ve also grown up with a chihuahua and currently spend time with a toy Maltese puppy, so I’m very familiar with small dog behavior and care. I’m comfortable handling different personalities and making sure pets feel safe and well cared for.

I will send you updates, pictures and videos, and always request emergency contacts and vet numbers.

I also make sure to dedicate weekends to longer walks, park visits, or house-sitting to give your furry friend all the attention they deserve. When pets stay with me, they’re treated like family!

Cristy took amazing care of our dog while we were away on vacation for a week. She was super responsive any time I messaged her and flexible when we had to make a couple last minute changes to our booking request. She included a detailed note and pictures with every visit, which was so comforting to see our little guy enjoying her visits. We were super happy with her services and plan to use her again in the future!

After deciding that a kennel would not work out for our dog, Lady, we saw Stacey’s info on Rover.com We had a nice meet and greet and as soon as our Lady walked over to her and connected, our decision was made. Besides the Rover updates, she stayed in touch personally. She gave us peace of mind.
