“Rachel really helped me with my dog and cat during a difficult time, she walked my dog Petey twice without being asked, out of concern for him. She cares about Petey and Busker. ❤️”

About: Dear parent(s), I thank you for considering me to look after your puppy. In the following short paragraphs you will read a little bit about me and my love for nature. SERVICE: I cater to those parents who need either a "once in a while" (but can be frequent) and/or a "last minute" sitting/walking care. I update my Rover availability based on my regular job's schedule to date to provide you a better service. ME: My love and passion for puppies began at a very young age. Growing up, I was blessed with having at least one dog in the household. During my high school years, I worked at a parrot shop located in Edgewater. There, I cared for baby parrots by handfeeding them their formula, which I prepared myself. I also kept a health chart on many baby parrots. Adults parrots were also present and cared for. My love and respect for animals has only increased through the years. Life has us all working so much that it takes us away from what we would rather do, spend time with our pets. Your dog will be cared for and looked after when you need to attend other matters. I have cared for dogs in the past, small and large (Saint Bernard the largest). I cannot pet sit in my home, but I can come to yours, though most of the time I will be out with him/her. So next time your puppy needs love and care when you need to be elsewhere, book me. I will make sure to fill that void your absence will leave, so the time he/she misses you will be less. Though I love dogs very much, I can be firm when needed. If there are any special requirements, please let me know. A. If your dog is shy, I will make sure he/she is not overwhelmed by other dogs or even humans. B. If he/she is hyper, to avoid kids being frightened. C. Do you prefer that your dog does not visit dog parks, or at least when they are not that busy? etc. I am currently a Real Estate Agent. My main working days are the weekends for open houses. This provides me with the freedom to care for your pet during the week, which is when most doggies are home-alone, but not anymore if I have a say in the matter. Building regulations and lack of space have prevented me from such joy. While I cannot pet sit at my home, I can take your dog outdoors. I try and stay physically active, so your dog will be walking and playing.
About: What sets me apart is my deep, firsthand experience with feline care and behavior. I first started as a foster parent for a local animal shelter, which is how I met my two sweet cats. Raising them since they were tiny, vulnerable kittens taught me everything about specialized cat care—from reading subtle body language to managing strict feeding schedules and grooming. I also grew up with a spirited Terrier, so I’m highly comfortable with energetic dogs. I regularly pet-sit for my friends' fur babies, and I’m ready to provide a patient, loving, and detail-oriented environment for yours! I currently work, so my schedule is best suited for early morning and evening pet care. I love starting my day with an early walk or check-in, and I am completely free after work to provide dedicated care, feeding, and play. Because I maintain a consistent routine, your pets will always have a reliable and structured schedule with me! Since I only offer drop-in visits and house sitting, my priority is keeping your pets safe and comfortable in their own familiar environment. During each visit, I closely follow your specific instructions for feeding, fresh water, and litter box cleaning. I also make sure your home is completely secure before I leave. You can expect regular photo updates so you always have peace of mind knowing your fur babies and your home are in good hands!
“Phil was awesome right from the start meeting him. Being a dog trainer myself I am very picky and particular with who I choose to watch my dogs. He did exactly what I asked and needed him to do and more and couldn't have been happier with the results and my dogs seemed very comfortable with him as he did with them. He gives detailed descriptions of each visit and leaves you feeling at ease when under his handling and care. Highly recommend he will be my guy going forward. Thank you Phil!”

About: I have fostered a 4 month old poodle for 2 months.

My daily/weekly routine just consists of working and hanging out with friends! Unfortunately I can not host pet sitting at my home for my land owner doesn’t allow pets inside, but if I were to work at your home, I would act accordingly with respect!
“Binta was a wonderful sitter for my Cleo! I appreciate how she took the time to get to know Cleo and wrote meaningful updates. Cleo is a shy, reserved girl but Binta was able to get through to her! I hope to book with Binta again in the future. Thanks for everything, Binta!!”

Fort Lee pet parents share their Rover experiences
Alex was absolutely wonderful with my cat, Shakir. It’s clear that she genuinely loves animals and truly enjoys what she does. She was caring, attentive, reliable, and kept me updated while I was away, which gave me great peace of mind. I felt completely comfortable trusting her with my home and my cat, and Shakir was happy and well cared for when I returned. I highly recommend Alex to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. I would gladly book with her again in the future.

Leta is a life saver for our family! We have two dogs, one is an 8 month old puppy and a 9 year old dachshund with mobility issues and she handles them both with love and care. We trust her implicitly and she treats our pets like they are family-thank you, Leta!

Michelle took such good care of Snowman!! The insanely cute photos and videos she sent were a godsend while I was gone, and I could tell just how comfortable he had gotten with her by the end of just four days— takes a special touch, which she clearly has. I so appreciated her thoughtfulness, competence, and how sweet she was with him!! Thank you, Michele!!

Joseph did a drop-in visit for my dog, Lobster, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. He was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure Lobster was comfortable and well looked after. I appreciated the updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Lobster seemed happy, relaxed, and well cared for when I got home, which says a lot. It's obvious that Joseph has a natural way with dogs and takes his responsibilities seriously. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and I would gladly book with him again.

Yuan is always a total pleasure to book with, and Valentine and I both love her! I'm going in and out of town quite a bit this summer and will book with her every time -- she's his favorite sitter and I know he's in good hands. She's incredibly responsive, sends tons of pictures, and I come home to a perfect apartment and kitty!

Dominick is a wonderful sitter. An extreme cat lover who is dependable and great with cats. He went beyond the call of duty during his last visit with her cat Maxie taking special care of her and bringing her soft food to help her eat. I would highly recommend Dominick!

Nicole did a fantastic job! She was friendly, communicative, and took great care of our newly adopted puppy. Nicole asked great questions and took directions well, and I feel so happy to know we can go out and have someone we can trust to give our puppy the love and care he needs! Would absolutely book again!

Meredith was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable about cat care, and it was clear she genuinely cared about my cats’ well-being. I could tell they bonded with her during my time away—even my cat who usually doesn’t warm up to other people. I came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and would highly recommend Meredith for any pet-sitting needs.
