About: I’m an animal lover who goes above and beyond while caring for your dog. I always follow the pet owner's directions carefully so that the pet will be happy while they are in my care and the owner will be at ease knowing that their pet is in good hands. I have a family who has years of pet sitting experience. I can come to your house to feed or walk your dog or other pets. I love all animals so I am interested in caring for your cats and other pets. I have many references. I am a college student attending tcnj. My schedule is very flexible, I am available every day to come and take care of your pets. I can be trusted to go to your home and lock the doors and set the alarm. If transporting your dog, I would be confident in putting on harnesses, leashes, and any other items you request.

About: I pride myself on my deep passion for working with dogs and ensuring, even when you are away, that they feel loved! For the last several years, I have been entrusted by neighbors, friends, and family members to watch and care for their beloved pets. My dedication to their well-being has earned me a solid reputation as a reliable and responsible dog walker. I am here to help you and your furbaby, please message me if you have any questions. As a college student home for the summer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to incorporate pet care into my daily or weekly routine seamlessly When providing dog walking services, I ensure that each visit includes a refreshing walk tailored to the dog's needs, including exercise, bathroom breaks, and mental stimulation. I also make sure to provide fresh water, offer treats (if allowed), and give them plenty of attention and affection. As an owner myself, I understand how import it is to maintain open communication with the pet's owner which includes providing updates and photos to keep you informed and reassured of your pet's well-being.

About: I’ve taken care of pets of all kinds since I was a baby. There has never been a time in my life where I haven’t had a pet. I have reptiles, a turtle, fish, dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, you name it. With all those pets comes a lot of responsibility, and I’ve always stepped up and made sure my animals are protected and well taken care of. I help out neighbors, friends, and family as well, walking, feeding, bathing, running, and even just spending time with the animals when the owner is gone for a long period of time. I do pet care as well when people are on vacation, and keep the house clean and leave everything the way I found it when I leave. I’m currently a college student taking online classes so my schedule is mostly free. I am a part time jiujitsu instructor so most nights I am busy, but I always make sure that the quality of life for the animals comes before school or any hobby of mine. I take care of all the pets I have, and will treat your animals as if they are my own. I will follow whatever instructions you have exactly as you give them, because I would expect the same for someone caring for my animals.

“Laura provided excellent service and communication regarding our cats while we were gone for 9 days. My 2 senior cats need daily medication (oral pills and topical cream) and Laura was comfortable with this situation. When we booked our vacation, months ago, they didn't need any medication, so finding the right sitter leading up to our time away was stressful for me, but Laura was great and helped me feel more at ease while on our big family vacation. It turned out that one of my cats would hide with each visit, which I'm sure was annoying to manage, but Laura stuck with it. We can't thank her enough for caring for our aging cats!”

“Vivian is AMAZING. We had to travel for just a few days and we left Blitzen at the house (he has a dog door) and had Vivian check in for feedings. He was so relaxed when we got home. No kennel anxiety! Vivian always takes excellent care of him.”

About: I’ve supported pet owners by providing reliable care that focuses on routine, safety, and comfort. I’ve worked with pets of varying energy levels and personalities and understand how consistency, patience, and clear communication help animals feel at ease while away from their owners. My availability allows me to dedicate consistent time throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and extended care. I plan my day carefully to ensure pets receive dependable attention without feeling rushed or overstimulated. I prioritize clear routines, secure spaces, and careful supervision. I follow instructions exactly as provided, keep environments clean, and remain observant of behavior changes so pets stay safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.

About: I’ve cared for puppies and adult dogs for family friends and raised a high-energy Malinois mix myself. I’m comfortable with active dogs, structured walks, and sticking to routines that help dogs feel calm and secure I’m an MBA graduate student at Montclair State with night classes a couple evenings per week. My daytime schedule is flexible, so I’m able to plan walks, drop-ins, and pet care around each pet’s routine I always prioritize a calm, safe, and familiar environment for pets. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and make sure pets feel comfortable and secure in their own space. I’m attentive during walks and drop-ins, and I treat every home with respect

About: For years, I’ve been trusted by friends and family to care for dogs of all sizes and personalities, whether it’s energetic puppies, strong large breeds, or mellow older dogs. I also have experience providing medicine for both dogs and cats, ensuring they get the right care when they need it most. I know how important it is to keep pets active and engaged, so I make sure every dog gets plenty of walks, playtime, and attention tailored to their needs. Being an active caregiver, I enjoy staying on the move and making sure each furry friend feels loved, safe, and happy while in my care. I currently work four days a week and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide care and walks Monday, Wednesday through Sunday. This gives me ample time for multiple walks per day, accommodating different feeding routines, and plenty of playtime. Whether it’s sticking to a schedule or adding in extra activity, I make sure each pet gets the care and attention they need. Depending on your dog’s training and routine, I can follow your directions for crate use, provide free roam in my apartment, or stick to the setup you prefer. Since I don’t have a yard, I make sure dogs are leash trained and enjoy regular walks in my neighborhood. Walks can range anywhere from 1 to 3 miles, depending on your dog’s needs and your request. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and well-cared for in an environment that matches their routine. In your home, I would follow careful instructions with walking, feeding, and playing.

“Dominique did an amazing job watching and caring for my dogs while I was gone! She updated me daily on giving my dog his eye drops, sent photos of her walking my dog, and even cleaned my dishes and took out the garbage which was unexpected yet greatly appreciated. Definitely will be booking her again in the near future!”

About: Gentle & reliable dog walker. Grew up with a Labrador, so I know the love (and energy!) dogs bring. Your pup’s safety & fun always come first 😊. My schedule is pretty relaxed. I have a part-time job from 4-8 pm Monday-Wednesday and work from home Thursday and Friday. Weekends are also generally free, but sometimes I have to take time to help take care of some stuff for my parents. My fenced-in backyard and the safety of my neighborhood provide peace of mind. Since I don’t have any other pets in my home, you can rest assured that your pets won’t encounter any issues or conflicts within the household.

About: Hi, I’m Christine! For the past 15 years, I’ve cared for pets of all sizes and personalities, from energetic puppies to wise senior dogs and even a few feisty cats. I now have my own furry companion, a playful weenie dog, and know firsthand how much our pets mean to us. I’m passionate about providing safe, loving, and personalized care, whether it’s house sitting, drop-in visits, walks, or even bathing and grooming. As an active person, I’m more than happy to keep up with high-energy dogs or take a slower, more careful approach for pets that need a little extra patience. Unfortunately, Rover does not allow sitters to mark specific times as unavailable; only full days are available. My schedule is relatively flexible, though I am currently studying to take my board exams, so please reach out with a request, and depending on my study/work schedule, I would be more than happy to accommodate you! While my yard isn’t pet-friendly yet, I’m happy to provide care in the comfort of your pet’s own home, following your guidelines to maintain their routine and comfort. I understand that no one knows your pet better than you, so I’m here to support both you and your furry family member as best as I can!

“Katie was very flexible and understanding when it comes to taking care of your specific needs for your pet! A great cat sitter!”

“Rosana has been nothing but sweet with my cat, sending update pictures and giving me peace of mind while I’m on vacation. I know Leafy is in good hands. Highly recommend!!”

About: Ever since I was a little kid, I’ve always had an animal around the house. Whether it was my parents cats, my family dogs, or my grandparents fosters, there has always been an animal in my household! I love entertaining them and playing with them, and I do my best to make sure they feel loved and safe in their spaces! I am a college student who works as a substitute teacher, so weekends are the main time I can provide your pet with the best service possible! But, if you communicate ahead of time and are nearby, I’m sure we can figure out a time for me to drop in, or the chance of me staying overnight to care for your pet! When coming into your home, I want to make sure that I am the best guest possible. Not only do I want your pet to be comfortable with me in their space, but I want you to feel comfortable with me caring for them. Give me the ground rules, the entire run down, and I will put my best foot forward to show you I’m somebody you can trust.

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I’m a pet owner myself. I’m very patient, attentive, and truly enthusiastic about animals. I’ve cared for puppies as well as senior dogs, and I understand that each pet has unique needs and routines. I’m also knowledgeable about basic training and enjoy helping pets feel comfortable, safe, and happy. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home with a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day, including regular potty breaks, playtime, and multiple walks. I also have a fenced yard and a safe environment where dogs can relax and get fresh air. I love having pets as part of my day and making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and happy. My home provides a safe, welcoming environment for pets. I have a large fenced yard and plenty of indoor space for your pet to relax and play comfortably. If needed, I can also set up a crate based on your request and your pet’s routine. We also have nearby walkways and parks, making it easy to enjoy regular outdoor walks and fresh air.

“Mersades is wonderful!!! I don’t have any complaints. This is my second time using her service and she is being amazing with my dog. I will definitely recommend her!!!”
