About: I've been caring for pets for a little over 5 years now. I used to work at a pet store handling fish, birds and small animals as well. I have a 5 year old golden retriever as well as 2 cats. I can help administer medications for dogs and cats that need it. I can also care for elderly dogs and puppies. I don't mind bathing them or doing nail trims either. I'm currently a college student doing online classes so I have plenty of time to drop by a clients house or to have them come to mine. Right now Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays work the mest with my schedule. I would be more than willing to negotiate other timings as well. I have a fenced in backyard and a dog to keep yours company. My entire house is pet friendly and welcoming. I can also crate your dog if needed and make the environment more comfortable for them
“Katrina was lovely! A prompt communicator, she took care of everything while I was away and kept me updated, and even went out of her way to check on where my shy cats were kidding to make sure they were okay. I’d fully recommend her as a great choice!”

“Jill was such an incredible cat sitter! She watched our two cats over the course of three days, and sent regular updates and lots of pictures. From the photos, I could tell that they were being very well looked after and getting lots of play time. Thank you, Jill, for taking such great care of our pets!”
“She did such an amazing job watching my 2 dogs and cat. I appreciated all of the photo updates I received. Everyone seemed well taken care of while I was away. Would recommend her 1000x.”
“Ashley was amazing. She came the week before to meet us and the dogs. She confirmed appointments, gave us an update after the visit and sent pics. We love her and will be using her again!”
About: I have two dogs of my own and have worked in pet sitting for the last few years. I have experience working with a wide range of dogs from type of breed, age, and size. I am currently in graduate school completing my clinical externship hours at Drexel University. The program runs Monday through Friday. I can do late evenings or weekends. I value following the clients requests for how to care for their pet and prefer meeting with clients before to determine how they care for their pets on a day to day basis so I can follow their schedule as similarity as possible.
“Rebecca was a lifesaver dropping in to let our Holly out and give her a little company! The drop in went well, and Holly was happy to see Rebecca. I will not hesitate to book Rebecca again. Thank you, Rebecca!!”

About: I’ve been working with dogs and cats since July 2020 with minor experience in a grooming salon. I’ve always loved animals and decided to start my own dog walking business in February 2022 and have loved every aspect of it. If you’re interested in boarding, please message me before booking. I enjoy getting to know pets and their families and always make time to go over all your needs thoroughly to ensure you can trust to leave your animal with me comfortably. Your dogs needs are always my top priority and will never hesitate to protect your baby in an unsavory situation. I can administer a range of medicine, including insulin and administer fluids, adhere to any dietary and exercise needs, and love going on long walks at the park. Dog walking and sitting is my full time occupation. I am usually walking dogs from 9am-3pm on a daily basis. I have a few families that depend on me daily and some for emergencies or last minute bookings throughout the week. I book most of my stays in advance and recommend that if I cannot leave your dog unattended for at least 4 hours to look elsewhere (sorry!). My calendar is updated daily, please reach out and say hello! I always make sure to meet with a family before confirming a booking. If the booking is far enough in advance I recommend at least 1 or 2 more visits prior to the families departure just to go over basic info, daily routines, and to let your pet get more familiar with me. I’m always happy to stay over night, am very friendly with neighbors, and am a quiet homebody type. I would never invite guests over while you’re gone and always make sure I leave your home cleaner than you left it. Your trust is most important to me and hope you will consider me when booking your next trip!

About: I've had dogs since I was 14 and have taken care of them for family and friends over the years. That includes small and big dogs, young and old. Dogs in general seem to be drawn to me. I'm currently working part-time so that gives me more time to care for your pets and give them the attention they need and deserve. The best thing I can do is make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible while you're away. I do that by keeping them in their same routine everyday and giving them a lot of attention.
“Camryn was so helpful checking in on our cat Chester this weekend! She sent us lovely pictures each day and a detailed update so we knew he was doing well. We really appreciated her clear communication and she was so sweet with our kitty!”

Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I enjoy making pets feel safe and cared for. I prioritize creating a safe, trustworthy, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, and any specific needs to make sure pets feel secure and stress-free. I’m reliable, communicative, and treat every animal like my own, giving them plenty of attention, patience, and care. Whether during walks or drop-ins, I always aim to provide a calm and loving environment where pets can feel happy, safe, and at home.
About: I’ve been an animal lover since I was a child, living with no less than 3 dogs at a time growing up, including other animals such as rabbits, Guinea pigs, turtles, bearded dragons, diamond tale doves and my current dog and cat. I’ve rescued 2 dogs from SPCA and trained them to be happy, healthy, content companions. I’ve taken care of cats, reptiles and dogs for neighbors in my hometown for over 10 years. I have experience with puppies and new litters so I’d be able to help out with that as well if needed. Everyone in my household is an experienced animal lover/owner as well :) I’m currently out of work and home for now so I have quite a bit of free time to help out with the local pets in need! I can coke for house visits in the day to feed, walk or entertain your pets as needed. Id be willing to stay and play with them a bit and or walk them.
“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: Hi, I’m Jill and I live in Hightstown, NJ. I have loved animals from a very young age and grew up with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, lizards and hamsters, so I’m knowledgeable on what needs to go into caring for them. I’m able to provide a safe environment with a large fenced backyard for your dog(s) to run and play. I work from home some days, but otherwise I am in my office 15 min away from my home. I love to go for walks, so your pet can get in a good amount of exercise. As I currently do not have any pets myself, I am excited to get the friendship and love that dogs always provide! Looking forward to meeting you and your pup(s)!

Hightstown dog parents share their Rover experiences
I had a really positive experience. Sue came out for a meet and greet a couple days before so my puppy could get to know her. On the days of the service she walked him, played with him, and made sure he got some attention and activity. She kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the visits, which gave me peace of mind. Everything went smoothly and I felt he was well cared for.
Once again, Sharyn came to the rescue! I completely forgot we were going somewhere for Mother's Day and I contacted her last minute and she saved the day. She was in constant contact since she was en route home from a trip and wasn't sure if she'd hit traffic so she kept me posted the whole time. Send me the BEST pictures and the cutest report card. I am so grateful for Sharyn!!
Elizabeth was professional and accommodating. I needed a last minute sitter for my 3 month old puppy and 7 year old lab and she responded fast and we were able to set everything up for the next day. She sends updates and pictures throughout her stay. She was great with both of my dogs and they loved her. I came home and couldn’t even tell anyone was there. I will book with her again in the future!
Another great experience with Ryan & Shannon! I went out of town for the day and they completed a schedule of three drop ins for my dog, including walking, feeding, and cuddles. Ryan & Shannon continue to be enthusiastic, professional, and trustworthy pet sitters. I look forward to working with them again.
