“Yvette is wonderful and very accountable. She really cares about making sure she does the job and does it well. My pup loves going on long walks with her!”
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including walking, bathing, and ensuring their overall well-being. I previously worked as a dog bather, giving me hands-on experience with different breeds and temperaments. As a dedicated pet lover with three dogs of my own, I understand the importance of patience, exercise, and affection in pet care. Friends and family have come to me for years to look after and walk their pets! My previous experiences has equipped me to handle various energy levels and needs, ensuring each pet gets personalized attention. Whether it’s a fun walk or just some extra love, I always prioritize their happiness and safety. Pet care fits naturally into my routine as a college student with a flexible schedule. I have Mondays, Fridays, and most weekends free, along with availability on Tuesdays after 2 PM and Wednesdays after 12 PM. My schedule allows me to be reliable and accommodating. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, routine, and well-being. I follow any specific instructions provided, ensuring meals, walks, and playtime align with their usual schedule. I provide fresh water, give plenty of attention, and make sure they get the exercise they need. If needed, I can also handle light grooming, such as brushing or wiping paws after walks. I always respect the client’s home, keeping it clean and secure while ensuring their pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for in their familiar environment.
“Kristin is awesome! We have a new pup from a rescue/shelter. Our pup is super sweet but still needs training. I feel so at ease knowing Kristin is coming every day to walk our puppy! The detailed reports are so cute & helpful. The communication has been great and Im so happy to find her!”
“Antonio was great. Punctual , trust worthy and always keeping me updated.”
About: I currently have 3 fur babies, from an 8lb chihuahua to a 70 pound hunting dog. I love them “almost” as much as my human babies and would be happy to help take care of yours! I work from home and have a flexible schedule. Happy to provide check ins and walks during the day, or stay at your home and care for your pets. I treat my pets and yours like they’re family because they are. Whether they like backyard playtime or a walk in the woods, I’m ready to spoil them.
“Hannah is a super dog sitter or walker. She cared for my dog in a loving way and truly enjoys working with dogs. I highly recommend Hannah to anyone needing her services.”

Certified and fully insured, I offer reliable one-on-one pet care services tailored to each dog's unique needs and will treat them as if they are my own.

I am flexible and reliable. I will make you and your pet feel comfortable with me in the house. After speaking with you to learn their routine, I will try my best to stay true to it while offering extra love and attention to ease their stress.
About: My wife and I have both had dogs since we were babies. We grew up in families that always had dogs (mostly 2 at a time, big and small, young and senior), so we learned how to be responsible caretakers for our dogs. My mom worked as a Vet Tech when I was younger so I was always aware of the basic needs as well as the more intensive needs of animals and how to properly care for these needs. We are available for boarding on weekends. I work outside of the home and my wife is an RN so she also works outside of the home and her weekday schedule varies. We both are usually free on weekends and if we are caring for your dog, we will make sure that our schedule is completely clear and devoted to the safety & comfort of your dog. My wife and I assure a safe and comfortable environment for your dog! Having a dog of our own, we are aware of the hazards that can exist in homes that might put pets in danger so we have assured that our home is free of those. We would follow any instructions left by the client (how to feed dog, when to feed, any medication instructions if necessary, etc.). We will take your dog on frequent walks, long or short (depending on your preference!). We also make sure our home is comfortable and throughout the summer months, we keep the apartment on the cooler side so that it's nice and comfy coming in from a walk on a hot day.
About: I am always the first call to take care of the my best friends dogs. I also help my sister with taking care of my grandma. I work part time, I’m also taking a semester off from college. I will be around mostly any time I’m needed. Along with some partial unavailability. In a clients home I will play with the dog, match their vibe, take them for walks. I will no matter what comply with owners instructions
About: I am a Dog Lover! I had to put my dog down after 15 years. Not ready to get another dog but would love to help other families with their loving pet who is part of their family. I Puppy shared a beautiful Golden Retriever, Faith with our friends while they vacationed for several years until sadly she had to be put down. My job of 20 years was recently eliminated. I have the time to help families by walking their dogs while they are away or working. I would go to clients home to walk their dog at the times needed. If they are working I know how difficult it is to feel confident about their pets care. I would take good care of them.
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life, and i have had many friends and family that come to me when they need help taking care of their animals. I have had to take them on walks, feed them, bathe them, house sit. Etc. I currently have a dog of my own who I have to take care of when other family members are not around. Daily I take him on walks, feed him, bathe him. I feel like pets are a great responsibility, and they deserve premium care. I think it is very important to give pets your undivided attention and treat them like another member of the family.
“Cheryl is so kind and wonderful with dogs. We found it thoughtful of her to meet Willow on her work break before walking her for the first time later that day. I highly recommend Cheryl, you know your dog will be lovingly cared for.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a little kid. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and take responsibility for their dogs! I work from home and am able to commute when needed! My flexible work schedule and accessibility to transportation will ensure you have excellent pet care. I will make sure my and your home environments are clean by cleaning multiple times per day. I clean paws, bellies, and snouts when coming back in the house!
About: I’ve taken care of our family dog primarily for her entire life of 12.5 years. We unfortunately lost her about two years ago and I just miss that companionship a lot. I work remotely so I go on long walks everyday after work by myself and they’re just not the same. I would love to help out families with this care, and it’d genuinely bring me so much joy to do so. I walk between 3-6 miles everyday and would love nothing more than a buddy to join me on these walks. I work remotely with a very flexible schedule so it’s easy for me to get out throughout the workday and go for a walk. I also already go on long walks after work everyday by myself, and going on a walk before the workday starts is easy too. Weekends I’m usually around also. I’ve recently moved out of my parents home, and into a luxury apartment, in a one bedroom unit with a den. My apartment accepts any and all breeds, and there is a great dog walking path behind our building, as well as it being in a great neighborhood with many houses nearby to go walking. I currently live by myself and have no other pets. If I were to go to your house instead, I would stop by as many times as requested throughout the day.
About: Note: We are currently training our new dog so best services to book are drop-in visits, walks, or boarding at your home. Some exceptions may be possible for care at our home, please send me a message, thank you! 👋 Spoil your well-behaved pup in a lap of luxury (literally!) with a HUGE 1-acre fenced yard that s/he can roam free in anytime they’d like. Conveniently located just off Route 17, I am a mature, responsible, and drama-free dog auntie who works from home and misses having a furbaby in the house. Before requesting a stay, please read my “About” section to see if we are a good fit for each other! Ps. I don’t charge if you are late to pickup by a few hours, I can be flexible for pickups. New Rover Customers: Use my referral link to get $20 off your first service https://www.rover.com/sit/melindac23 I do sometimes get requests to watch pups in NYC but I’m currently home in NJ full-time. The care I provide is the same level of care I used to provide for my own dog. My friends’ furbabies affectionately call me “auntie” :) I understand how being away from your loved one can cause stress or anxiety (unfortunately, we had a bad experience with a sitter once, so I personally relate to this feeling all too well). I can provide multiple updates a day (or less) if you’d like — photos, videos, and even video calls — whatever will help you feel that s/he is safe and well cared for. We have a unique property, a huge, park-like fully-fenced yard on a cul-de-sac street (but the fence is only 4 ft high, please confirm that your dog cannot jump it). I have a medium size crate if your pups like them. Multiple dog beds throughout the house and no more than 5 stairs anywhere. I’m equipped to take in two dogs at a time, but I don’t have to if you prefer your pup to have a solo stay.

6. Carley G.
“I have known Carley G. for over eight years and during this time I have observed the dedication, loyalty and sensitivity that she has for our four legged friends. As a pet owner who is way too attached to her dog, I enthusiastically recommend Carley as a conscientious and caring pet sitter. I know that she will care for our two boxer puppies as I would. I am more comfortable leaving my animals with Carley because she really relates to each animal individually. Every dog she keeps forms a bond with her. When I leave my babies, it is important for me to know that more than her physical needs will be satisfied. The affection that she receives from Carley makes her separation from me less stressful.”

13. Ewan C.

14. Barbara G.
“Barbara is one of the most loving caring people I have ever met. I trust her completely. Many years ago, I got a new puppy and Barbara fell in love with him to the point that she got one of the same breed for herself. She has also watched my dog for me and took amazing care of him. In addition, she has watched my son's dog while he was away and again, did a wonderful job. His dog, Tucker, didn't really know Barbara very well before he stayed with her and within an incredibly short time, he was super comfortable and felt right at home. She is also incredibly responsible. She always follows through with whatever she says she is going to do. She always provides a safe, comfortable environment for the dogs and even let them sleep in her room with her! She not only let the dogs out but takes very long walks with them to ensure they get fresh air and plenty of exercise. She always goes that extra step in everything she does. She is a very special person and I would trust her 100% with not only my pets, but with my children and grandchildren as well.”
