Dog Sitting Fort Lee

About: I’ve always loved animals and grown up around so many dogs and cats. I enjoy providing pets with great care and treating them like my own. I have experience with animals of all ages and I’ll take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for! I’m currently in graduate school and have class until 11:50! I’m free before/after and free during the weekend as well. Overall, my schedule is very flexible. When caring for pets in their own home, I aim to keep them as comfortable as possible and maintaining their normal routine. I follow their feeding, walking, and playtime routines, while giving them plenty of affection.

About: I’ve had pets nearly my whole life and have been known to struggle to walk past an animal in need. This means rescuing an injured squirrel, a Cooper’s hawk, an opossum, and more, going the extra mile even when it was deeply inconvenient for me to do so. I also grew up attending zoo camp and then volunteering at a zoo from age 5 to 14, caring for a wide range of animals. I have worked with high energy pitties, a blind and anxious German shepherd, birds, cuddly kitties, fearful kitties, diabetic kitties, rabbits, and others. I have administered shots, IVs, medications, eye drops, and more. I am persistent and typically can win over even the shyest and most anxious fur baby. I have a genuine love for caring for pets and would be honored to care for yours! I am currently carefully thinking about my next full time role and working part time. My partner is an immigrant seeking employment during a time when that is extremely difficult due to the political situation. Any supplemental income is incredibly helpful for me as we navigate. I have a reliable vehicle, plenty of time to play with your pets, and love to love on them. I have a reliable car and I keep my word. I am communicative, honest, and truly love animals. I take direction well and understand that every pet has their specific needs. I don’t cut corners and do my best to provide top notch care, always.

“Mel was great! This was our first time using a sitter from Rover. She stepped in after our original sitter had an emergency and was unable to complete care. My dogs seemed very comfortable and happy. She respected our home and was a great communicator, she even watered our plants while we were away. We will for sure use her again!”

“Briana is a beautiful human being. Additionally, my pups fell in love with her. Bri sent a selfie of herself with my Maltese sharing the biggest smile! She was concerned about my Yorkie and waited with her until my husband could get there. I will definitely trust Bri with my babies again!”

“Tanti gave my kitties all the love and attention they deserve while we went out of town. She did a fabulous job! Highly recommend Tanti and will certainly have her watch our kitties again the future”

“Mitch was punctual with all of his drop ins, sent plenty of photos and kept me in the loop with his notes for each visit. I will book him every time!”

“Nick is a kind guy with a gentle demeanor. My anxious dog Leroy was very comfortable with him and I came home to a happy pup. I will definitely be calling upon him more this summer!”

About: I have done pet sitting since I was 14, and I am just now getting back into it. I have specialties in French bulldogs, as well as cats! As a student, I will be most free on Monday and Friday afternoons, as well as weekends. I am flexible, and my schedule may change. Currently, I don’t have any pets, but I will give your pets plenty of love. I can take your pup out on a walk and play with them. Additionally, I have experience with feeding pets and giving them their medication.

“Victoria was available for our last minute booking! She did exactly what was in the care plan, communicated well and was super friendly! We will definitely book with her again!”

About: I’ve had dogs growing up and had to take care of them a lot as well as having experience as a kennel tech over some summers! I work a school schedule so my work schedule is 7:30 to 3:30 I am free before and after that time to take care of any pets I have an apartment that I am more than happy having pets stay in however there is no yard. I am happy to stay with them and house sit.

“Allie was great! She took care of our high energy dog and demure cat! She took lots of beautiful photos and updated us at each visit. It really helped us enjoy our weekend away knowing our babies were well cared for. Allie was very kind and responsive.”

“Amanda has been my caring for my cats during my travels for almost three years now, and there is no one I trust more to give them the love and attention they deserve when I’m away. She’s fantastic in every way. Thanks for everything, Amanda! 💜”

About: Growing up with two dogs and two cats, I developed a lifelong love for animals and a passion for caring for them. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience walking and caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I’ve never met one that didn’t warm up to me. In addition to personal pet care, I have fostered dogs and cats, where I ensured they both received the exercise, attention, and care they needed to stay healthy and happy. For the past six years on Rover, I’ve had the privilege of caring for a wide variety of pets, and I’ve learned that every animal is unique, it’s important to take the time to understand their individual needs and personalities. I pride myself on being reliable, organized, and an excellent communicator. I’ve never missed a booking, and I make it a priority to keep owners updated through detailed Rover cards, so you always know how your pet is doing. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate walks or visits at the time that works best for you. Most importantly, I’m committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while in my care. I’m excited to meet both you and your pet, and I look forward to building a bond with them! I am currently a junior at Virginia Commonwealth University and have plenty of free time to dedicate to caring for animals and making sure they receive the attention they need. Alongside my studies, I work part-time as a Housing Office Assistant, but spending time with pets is always the highlight of my week. I currently live in a house with three fellow students, and we share a fenced-in backyard as well as a gated front porch—both of which provide safe spaces for pets to enjoy fresh air and playtime. My home is welcoming, and I make sure that any pet in my care feels comfortable and secure, whether we’re indoors relaxing or outside getting exercise. I take pride in being respectful and responsible in every home I visit. I always make sure to clean up after myself and any pets in my care, maintaining a positive, safe, and clean environment for both pets and their owners. Clear communication is also a priority for me, I believe keeping owners updated and informed is the best way to ensure your pet receives the highest level of care possible and the best service possible for owners

About: Growing up there were always dogs and cats in the house and I often went to dog training sessions with my mom. I grew up as an equestrian so I am very comfortable around large animals! In adolescence I dog walked and house sat for both cats and dogs and often helped farm sit as well. As an adult I have worked as a veterinary assistant which got me accustomed to handling a variety of personalities and breeds of dogs, all at varying states of stress. (cats too!) I was often responsible for monitoring behavior and health signs, in addition to direct handling and providing medical care or assistance. That being said, I am comfortable with providing medical care if needed! I have recently house sat and cared for both dogs and cats. I really do love all critters! I work a full-time in person job, so I am unavailable ~7:30AM-4:00PM M-F, but otherwise can easily incorporate boarding and pet care into my routine. I am open to weekend only care, or weekday care if the situation aligns with my working hours (At time when I have house sit there has been a separate midday walker!) I am comfortable following the rules and routines pet owners follow in their home to ensure all animals are their most comfortable selves, I believe in leaving a space better than it is found and minimizing stress for animals.

About: I'm a working professional, with experience working with Rover while I was a student at VCU between 2017-2022. I recently moved back to the city, living in Shockoe Bottom, with my 3-year old cat named, Miso, and started a new job. I've been excited to get back into dog sitting/walking because I always enjoyed meeting new animals, the peace that came with the routine, and a great way to stay active. I have experience with all ages, shapes and sizes, breeds, and temperaments of both dogs and cats. Many pet owners both in and off the app, know me and the quality of my services , throughout the years, and I'm excited to provide the same quality of services for existing owners, as well as meet new-owners and their pets. Although I'm a big guy, I'm very gentle and so, no matter how big or small, shy or rowdy, I'm comfortable taking care of your fur baby. If you have any questions/concerns/requests, please feel free to message me and ask away! I look forward to working with you and your pets. I work full-time Monday through Friday. I have part-time availability on weekdays after 5pm and full-time availability on weekends. However, I can be flexible and can discuss needs on a case by case basis. Every sit/drop in visit/ dog walking can be different, depending on the needs of the owners and their pets. So I am adaptable and ready to learn how to provide the best care and services for your specific needs.

“Phyllis was very attentive to my animals. They loved her. She sent pictures of them while I was away and she provided a daily summary of how they were doing daily. I would absolutely use her again.”

“Did an amazing job with our two trouble makers. They definitely loved Farrah so much. Felt so comfortable with how happy they were. Definitely going to be my sitter from now on.”

About: I have broad experience in general pet care, including several years caring for my own pets. I’ve worked professionally with both cats and dogs in a pet salon, owned and cared for small pets, and have experience walking dogs through Rover, providing reliable exercise and attentive care. I’m also a pescatarian, which reflects my mindful and compassionate approach to animal care and wellbeing. 🐾❤️ I’m not naturally a morning person, but I’m willing to work early when needed. I can walk to nearby houses in the morning and afternoon, and I have additional availability to drive to more distant locations later in the day. Please keep this in mind when scheduling visits. I care for pets by following their routines, providing feeding, play, exercise, and attention. Whether in my home or the client’s, I make sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: Hi my name is Vinny. I’m currently a nursing student who also works in a pediatric hospital part time and I love it. I used to dog sit in high school and took care of couple of dogs and cats over the course of a year. During that time, I really learned to love learning new routines and understanding how to keep the pets I care for as healthy and happy as possible. What sets me apart is that I’m great with pets with anxiety and larger pets.I’m a bigger guy myself so I can handle pets of any size from pups all the way up to Mastiffs, Grey hounds and Bernese’s. This love of learning about each pets unique qualities is what gives me the tools I need to help mitigate anxiety in pets. I am very receptive to any teaching you might have about your pet. I have my own car that runs well and I am available for longer hours so scheduling around your needs is easy. I am willing to work with animals with all kinds of schedules. I already work 12 hour shifts caring for up to 28 patients at a time by myself and am ready to bring that same level of commitment to your home and pets. I always prioritize safety in my practice. I already work 12 hour shifts caring for up to 28 patients at a time by myself and am ready to bring that same level of commitment to your home and pets. I am ready to learn about how to care for your pets in your home to ensure their safety and mine.

About: I can’t recall a time in my life without pets. There was always at least one fluffy cat in the family, and I’ve spent at least a dozen years caring for dogs as well. I firmly believe that all animals have so much love to give and adventure to bring. I currently have a lot of weekday availability in my schedule. In the mornings, I go on walks anyways and can visit. The same goes for afternoons for the most part. In my client’s home, I will be cautious to keep doors and gates securely locked when letting an animal friend(s) outside and back in. I am sure to follow all given instructions to the T to ensure the safety and comfort of the animal friend(s).
