“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!”


About: I have been caring for animals my entire life. As a 10 year old child, I was fostering dogs while managing my schoolwork and evolving social life. I have had and cared for many different types of pets, including (but not limited to): dogs, cats, birds, hermit crabs, and hamsters. As a 28 year old adult, I now have a sweet dog named Zelda (GSD/Husky mix, 5yrs, 60lbs), whom I adopted at 3 months. I trained her myself and had her fully housebroken with no accidents within 5 months. I have also cared for and assisted in training my mother's dog Sumo (St. Bernard, ~9yrs, 165lbs. With my life experience and graduate degree in psychology, I am very capable of handing whatever comes my way. I look forward to meeting you and your baby! I am working part-time on the weekends and on Tuesday, Wednesdays, and Thursday nights. Therefore, I have a great deal of time to dedicate to your loved ones and make sure they are well cared for! I regularly take my dogs out for relief and exercise in my yard. They get regular feedings and water bowl cleanings to make sure they are well fed and hydrated. When it gets hot, I make sure to add ice cubes to their water, provide them with pupsicles (frozen dog safe ice cream!), and keep the AC running. I always make sure to build in playtime and snuggles to make them feel loved and cared for.


“I struggled with how to care for my two cats, a senior & a junior, while I went on vacation. Violet, my eldest cat, had just been diagnosed with kidney/bladder issues and required a stringent schedule of medication. I was completely put at ease after my meet & greet Kaitlynn. Her attitude & attention to detail were both professional & comforting. The daily updates were insightful & showed her familiarity with my "kids" and their needs. Our first experience with Rover has been a pleasure. Just knowing that there are dedicated sitters like Kaitlynn available at a time of need is a true relief.”


“Christine has been such a blessing for us. We recently brought into our home a wonderful shelter dog who needed a lot of love and attention, and was initially suffering from severe separation anxiety whenever someone would leave the room. It has also been more than 15 years since we've had a dog and needless to say we were rusty. From day 1 of the meet and greet with Christine, our dog Dot immediately felt comfortable around her, our kids listened intently to her suggestions, explanations and stories of her own going through similar experiences. She's provided consistent advice and support (outside the formal drop-in/walking sessions we pay for). She has her own dogs and fosters dogs as well... and it's clear she does not do this for the money, but purely for her love of dogs. She posts updates during every visit, sends pics, cleans up if there's been an accident, and provides ideas/suggestions when she can. I highly recommend her!”


“I’m sure Harley looked forward to her walks and time spent with Lyzbeth! Lyzbeth was friendly, professional, and really great with our dog. I’d love to hire her in the future again!”


“Aletris was amazing! They were incredibly attentive and sweet with our kitty and went above and beyond our expectations. Aletris took the job very seriously and made sure nothing would get in their way of taking care of our fur baby, (even if that means resorting to biking to our house when their family needed their car)! We can’t express how happy we are to have found Aletris and I know our kitty felt the same way! Will definitely be hiring them again for future pet sitting needs!”


“I can’t say enough good things about Sam. He took excellent care of my two cats for nine days. Sam provided detailed notes and photos of my cats after every visit (which was twice daily). Whenever I had a question he responded promptly. I extended the length of my vacation and Sam accommodated the change without hesitation. If you’re looking for a pet sitter, look no further than Sam. He is outstanding.”


“Melissa was amazing with our 2 cats! They warmed up to her so quickly and she snapped some great photos of them too really capturing their personalities. Great communication and gave us such peace of mind while we were away from our girls for the week. Thank you again Melissa!”


About: For as long as I could remember, I grew up having all kinds of pets, from dogs, cats, hamsters and other small furry friends as well as birds. I absolutely love animals and I am super upbeat, nurturing, active and engaging. I have a lot of knowledge and experience with dogs and know a lot of training and handling techniques. I work from home and can give your beloved furry family member the attention and exercise it deserves and will make sure they always feel at ease, happy and comfortable. You’ll also get lots of picture and video updates too :) I work from home most of the time, and have a lot of availability in watching your precious furry family member. I’m a super active person, and love walks and just being engaging with your dog or cat. Also, cool perk. I’m a professional photographer and might snap a beautiful pic of your fur baby :) I have two residences, one being a nice two bedroom apartment that I do most of my work on that has an enclosed balcony as well as a big home with a huge beautiful enclosed yard in Ramsey.

“If I could give more than 5 stars for Christina I would. Great communicator, committed and very sweet with my Shitzhu Reagan and black kitty Goblin. She sent pictures, and went above and beyond to keep them fed and happy. Highly recommend!! God Bless providers like her in this service.”


About: I worked for Animal Loving Care (ALC) for 2 years when I lived in NYC. During that time, I walked dogs, I was a pet sitter and worked in the daycare department. The company wanted me to come back but I moved to New Jersey once I became a mom. It's a long commute for me to go every day taking public transportation to New York with a baby. I've been walking and taking care of dogs from external clients that I have and who ACCEPT ME TO GO WITH MY BABY. You can see photos on my profile. I'm a stay-at-home mom, fully dedicated to caring for and raising my 20-month-old baby. I also walk some of my clients' dogs and feed their pets when needed. We can make an appointment to meet and meet the dog before. I can stay at the clients house as many days as necessary, walk their dog as many times as necessary, feed him/her and play.

About: About a year ago, I lost my childhood dog, Chloe, who I had the honor to spend 16 beautiful years with. She was quite frankly the center of my world and I’m so grateful I got to care for her from puppyhood into her senior-years. In addition to caring for my own dog, I have also looked after dogs of family and friends, so I am experienced in caring for dogs of different sizes and ages, as well as more than one at a time. I enjoy spending time outside for play and walks, as well as snuggling indoors and playing with toys. I currently work a hybrid job full-time, so spend most of the week at home with ample time to spend with new furry friends. I look forward to meeting you :) I currently work a hybrid schedule, which allows me to be home most of the week. This allows me plenty of time to take breaks for play, feeding, walks, and anything else the pup might need. I care for every pet as I would my own. I understand the level of trust that is needed to allow someone to care for your own loved one(s), and I don’t take it lightly. Every pet’s needs are tended to with care and they are given lots of love and attention, with their safety and comfortability being my number one priority.

About: I have over 5 years of experience in pet sitting! I've worked for a doggy daycare for over 2 years, caring for up to 30 dogs at a time. Tell your dog I said hi! I am a college student with a remote internship, so I am available most days of the week! Making time to care for your pets is my priority. I always leave a home just the way I found it! You can count on me to follow any rules/guidelines regarding your home and pet. My clients say I make them and their pet feel safe.
