“Our dog loved Meghan the day he met her, and I can tell he’s always happy when I get home. Meghan sends thorough notes and pictures of her visits which we highly appreciate”

About: Hi there! I’m a caring person who truly enjoys spending time with animals—especially cats. I graduated from Teachers College, Columbia University, and I’m currently a PhD student studying the pedagogy of caring. While my research focuses on human education, I find that the same spirit of empathy and attentiveness naturally extends to how I care for pets. I study remotely from home, so I’m around most of the time to keep my furry friends company and make sure they feel loved and secure. At home, I’ve created a cozy and playful space for my pets. I decorate my home in a cute, comforting style, with plenty of soft corners, sunny spots, and cozy blankets for them to nap on. I keep a variety of toys—from feather wands to puzzle feeders—to keep my cat entertained and mentally stimulated. I also pay close attention to their diet, making sure they eat healthy, balanced meals and stay hydrated. I love spending quiet, joyful days together.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for my family and friends in the past, and they have all been very pleased with me! I do not have a dog, but I know the essentials of taking care of them, and I will do everything and anything to make them happy :) I am currently not working, so I am available any time of day, including weekends, to make sure your fur babies are loved and cared for! As I mentioned, I do not have a dog, but my cat is well cared for, and I would do anything to ensure his health and safety, which would be my top priority for your fur babies as well!
“What an experience. We have never left anyone to take care of our Domino at home. Instead we would take him somewhere out of the comfort of his own home. Daphne truly loves animals and respect her clients. She even went above and beyond by bringing in our mail. I would refer her and Rover to all our friends ONLY because of our experience with Daphne. 10 stars AMAZING CARING RESPECTFUL!!!”

“Savana was the best!!! Our dog was in an unfamiliar place so not only did she do her best to make him feel comfortable but we were in the chaos of wedding day and she continuously asked if she could be of any help getting things out the door and into the car. If you’re considering Savana just book her now, she’s amazing!”

About: Loving and Flexible Pet professional and Animal Behavior College Alumni finding joy in providing the highest quality in-home pet care and training in your local neighborhood. Our pets mean the world to us. They are family. Their unconditional love is a healing energy to us in this busy world. I received a certification in positive dog training through Animal Behavior College in 2006. I have spent many hours volunteering at our local animal shelter as a trainer and working one on one with clients and their pups in the comfort of their own homes. It is a privilege to provide excellent petcare in the way of walking, feeding and playing with your pets. We have a full house in Vernon, NJ with two chocolate labs (Marshall and Lily) and a dachsund mix. We also have two cuddly guinea pigs named Nessy and Sonic. The most critical decision I make when leaving for a trip involves the welfare of my pets and who will be taking care of them. Exceeding your expectations as a confident, reliable, knowledgable and loving petsitter is my promise to you. Having had multiple dogs, cats, gerbils, hamsters, fish and guinea pigs throughout my life has been a great source of joy and contentment. I am comfortable caring for all pets, large or small. Thank you for the opportunity! -- Beth I am a certified English teacher/freelance writer by trade and a stay-at-home mom to three children (formerly homeschooled who now attend public school) and five fur babies. I am very flexible and will do my best to accomodate your schedule/needs. Safety is a top priority. As a certified trainer, I will use positive cues to keep walks with your dog safe and engaging. They will remain leashed at all times unless you have a fenced in yard for off-leash playtime. Exercise and fun will create relaxation for your pet while you are away. I will provide many pictures and videos of your pet while you are away and keep you informed on the daily.
“Jennifer is fantastic, she treats our pets like her own and ensures they are well taken care of. We have been extremely happy when she assists with our pet watching needs. 😁”

“Kimberly did a spectacular job watching our cats. She saved all the worry we typically have when we leave our pets home while away. I recommend Kimberly to anyone who needs pet sitting!”

About: I have been taking care of all types of animals since I could walk. I grew up near farms and ranches in Colorado, had Guinea pigs, dogs, cats, fish, frogs and many more species. I have taken care of 12 newborn Great Dane pups, large breeds and the smallest breeds. I am experienced with animal care, protocols, health issues, CPR and first aide for animals. In the past I have been challenged with aggressive animals and handled them with the best care, patience and understanding. Under any aggressive dog, is a scared puppy. All animals deserve respect and love. As a busy pet parent myself I understand how important it is to care for our pets, as they are apart of our families. I have a full time job and am off on the weekends. I am always available in the afternoons, over nights until I have to leave for work in the mornings, and can do frequent walks. Here we understand that our pets need attention, socialization, and love in order to thrive. I have two dogs of my own at home, a three y/o Great Dane names Eggo and a 2 year old basset hound named Maple. I care for your dogs like I care for mine. We understand that every dog and pet has a specific schedule and needs. We follow their schedules the best we can, we follow feedings, potty breaks and can administer meds if need be.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs, cats and parrots all my life. I’ve had the responsibility of walking them, feeding them and playing with them. Now that I’m post-grad I have a cat of my own and am solely responsible for its care. Ive helped neighbors and friends with their animals when they go away on vacation. I am home for the summer with a part time job and this would fit in perfectly with my schedule. i am able to schedule around my other job. In my home we have a fenced in yard and our dogs are sometimes crated when we leave. When they are not crated have gates to set up safe spaces in the house where they can roam.

“Jervilyn was wonderful with our two dogs! 🐕 We loved that she spent so much time interacting and playing with them. One of our dogs needed to be given medication and Jervilyn administered with no issues! Would definitely have Jervilyn drop in again!”

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 10! I have experience with all different breeds, I even have 5 dogs of my own! All breeds are welcome 🤗 I am currently a fully online student and I control my own schedule. My calender is open for whatever days you need! Please feel free to reach out with any questions! 😊 I will not be able to pet sit in my own home, since I have so many animals. However, I am more than happy to care for your pet in your own home, going on walks, bathing, etc.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets my entire life, and my family and friends look to me if they need me to dog sit (or pet sit) when they’re away or unavailable. I love animals, and so getting to take care of furry friends is an absolute treat!! I’m currently attending college, so monday and wednesday mornings im out of the house from 8-12. any other time, if given enough notice, i can be available for you and your pets! I live in a family home with my dog daisy, who is very friendly and about 14 years old now. She never fails to be entertained, and I love her with all my heart. I will do the same for your pets :)
About: Hello! I live in Sussex County, NJ, and have been walking dogs since January 2025 via the Wag app. I am available for drop ins, walks, and pet sitting during the day. Since I have 2 sassy beagle-mixes of my own, I can do overnight stays with some household coordination on my end. I’m currently working part time, so have a flexible schedule! I do my best to only accept bookings where I know I’ll make it not only on time, but a few minutes early. It’s important for me to know what access or limits your pet has in your home, so I like to over communicate with pet parents so I fully understand what makes your pet happy and safe.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all of my life, and grown up with them since the day I was born. I’ve never not had a dog, my childhood dog lived to be 16 years. I’m here to do what I love and be able to spend my time with all of your fur babies Im flexible I walk dogs while being able to finish school, I do this Monday through Friday and I’m looking to get more overnight sits for the weekends I care for every animal as if they are my own they will be as equally as spoiled as they would in their own home. The safety of your animal is not in question with me because I understand how much we worry about our animals when they aren’t able to be with us.
“This was the first time I used Rover or needed a sitter at all. I found Brenda and Francis and communicated shortly and set up a meeting day. Brenda came by and we hit it off. She's an animal lover, very caring and genuine. All throughout my time away, she was always reachable. Went the extra mile with maintaining the space my cats live in. And I even needed her to do some trouble shooting with the cameras in my house ( cats are fun ) . I will definitely be reaching out in the future to have this duo check in on my babies again. Trustworthy, responsible, and caring.”

This is the first time I have left my boys in the care of someone other than family and I couldn’t be happier. Ashley was not only quick to respond (which is important to me) , but also left me with such peace of mind. She sent me pictures and went the extra step to make sure I felt comfortable. I highly recommend her.
