About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs my entire life, including my 10-year-old Black Lab and my American Pit Bull. I’ve helped train both dogs, understand different personalities and energy levels, and am comfortable handling daily walks, feeding, playtime, and basic training. I’m available most weekdays and weekends throughout the summer after June 25th. While working 2-3 days per week, I maintain a flexible schedule for walks and drop-in visits. Beginning September 1st, I’ll be commuting to college classes 3–4 days per week, but I’ll continue offering pet care services with availability before and after classes, as well as on weekends. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions. Whether caring for pets in your home or outside, I help to provide a clean, secure, and loving environment while ensuring they receive plenty of attention, supervision, and affection. I also send regular updates so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for.

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: Just started on Rover this month! I’ve been caring for a range of different animals for years through both pet sitting and hands-on animal care experience, so I’m very comfortable around pets with different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, watch, and care for their pets while they’re away. It is so essential to be responsible, paitent and attentive to detail, and how important routine and trust is when caring for our animals. Whether it’s an energetic puppy, a shy rescue, or a senior pet that needs extra patience, I always try to make animals feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Completely devoted to the animal i’m taking care of full time. I’m home everyday, and can give any care that the animal i’m caring for needs. I have a fenced yard, I can walk your dog however many times you would like depending on your directions but usually 2-3 times a day. If your dog is high energy, I often go on runs and would love a friend to run with! I also have chickens outside that are cooped up and out of danger.

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra patience and attention, I provide loving, reliable care tailored to each animal’s needs. I understand how important routines, comfort, and safety are, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m a student at Towson University! All of my classes take place in morning/early afternoon so I am free in afternoons/ evenings. The weekends I am completely free as well! I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any medication instructions. I make sure the space is clean, secure, and free of hazards, and I never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I also maintain open communication with owners by providing regular updates and photos, so they feel confident and reassured while they’re away. Most importantly, I give each pet patience, attention, and affection to ensure they feel comfortable and cared for.

About: I’m a calm, gentle caregiver who specializes in small dogs and understands how much comfort they find in familiar routines. As a dog mom myself, I know how important it is to have someone warm, patient, and trustworthy looking after your pup. I offer drop-ins and short walks that keep your dog’s day running smoothly-whether they need a potty break, a little company, or a quiet walk with a steady, reassuring presence. I also offer dog boarding in my home. I’m detail-oriented, safety-focused, and always communicate clearly so you know exactly how your dog is doing. Your puppy will be cared for with kindness, consistency, and lots of love. My daily routine is built around caring for my own small dog, so adding care for other small dogs fits in smoothly and naturally. I have a flexible schedule for my bookkeeping business as well. I will follow any instructions you provide me and will make sure your dogs are safe and cared for with lots of love and attention.

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.

Christina was very friendly and had great communication with me throughout the week. Although my kitty is a VERY shy boy, she tried her best to give him attention and encourage him with toys and treats. She even stayed longer on some days!
