About: I have been caring for dogs formally for almost 10 years now. But I have been surrounded by pets (specifically dogs) my entire life. Between caring for my friends/family's dogs and caring for my own, I have a lot of experience with dog/cat walking/sitting. I am well equipped to deal with all kinds of situations. I am enthusiastic and dedicated to providing the best service for you and your pet! If you have any special requests I am very flexible and can accommodate for those requests. I am a responsible and trustworthy person, so you will have no worries leaving your dog/cat in my hands. This service is very exciting to me because I am passionate about animals and helping others. Feel free to ask me any questions or concerns you have! Thanks:) I care for my own dog everyday, whether that’s walking her, grooming her, playing with her, and feeding her/administering her medication (as she is an older dog with intestinal issues). I also have been consistently walking a particular client’s golden doodle for months now, weekly. And I often interact with pets of friends and family weekly! I am very observant and watchful of my own pet to ensure she is feeling okay and not getting into any trouble, as with any animal I am with. I treat animals respectfully and with a positive demeanor, as I know it’s important to have good energy around them. I am caring and understanding of every individual pet needs.

Absolutely! Here’s a positive review for Desire: --- I recently went on vacation and entrusted Desire to take care of my five cats—Abby, Chloe, Taz, Luna, and baby LuLu—for a few days. Desire did an amazing job! She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which made me feel at ease knowing my fur babies were in good hands. Desire spent time playing with them, ensuring they were happy and entertained. Even Abby, who is very picky about who she trusts, allowed Desire to pet her—a clear sign of how comfortable and trusted she felt around Desire. I will definitely use Desire's services again for my next vacation and highly recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Desire, for your outstanding care!

About: I like daily park jogs so I will make sure that the dogs are able to explore the world around them to give spark to their day! I do dog sitting for friends and family, and plan to do rover on a regular basis so I am always around for new furry friends to spend time with! I plan to care for dogs in my own home or the clients home, additionally I will make sure to listen closely to the owner for any requests and make sure the dogs needs are met!

Veronica was awesome once again! Our kitties love her and she goes above and beyond every time. Gives the cats attention and play when they come out, keeps the cat areas of the house very clean, administers their meds. Great communication and photos, and even was able to keep our cats taken care of with an injury this time. Highly recommend her and will be looking for her again next time our kitties need some love while we are out of town.

I am a first time user of Rover and was very nervous about leaving my dogs in the hands of someone else. When I picked Stephanie I could just tell she would be a great fit with my two pups. And I was right! I have special needs for my dogs and was worried it would be too much but Stephanie didn’t mind and even worked with one of my dogs on leash training! She was super patient in meeting them and letting them get to know her and offered up some advice on food options to keep them healthy and active. I will definitely be using Stephanie again!

I can start off by saying Mateo is a dog lover. The way he treats Casper (his dog) amazes me. He subscribed to barkbox to have his dog receive a box full of treats and toys every month. When ever we hangout and he sees a dog, he goes crazy to pet them. I can definitely put my word and recommend him as a dog sitter, i'm sure he will do an amazing job, the dogs are going to be extremely happy when he takes care of them. Can't wait to hear back from Mateo, letting me know he became a dog sitter.

About: Hey there! I want the best for your pets! When you can’t be there to care for them, I’m the extra hand you need to carry out their care just the way you’d like it. I have experience with reactive dogs, puppies, senior dogs, blind dogs, you name it! If your pup has specific care needs, I can assist while you’re away. I do have a dog of my own so if your dog needs a playmate, let me know! If you need house-sitting, he would be coming along with me. If you read this far, message me for house-sitting at a discounted rate! I’m currently a student at Kean University and I have an on-campus job as well. During breaks and between classes, I’d love to care for your pup! Your pet’s comfort is of the utmost importance to me. You, the owner, know best about their care and with your help, I can love on your pets with a routine that’s familiar to them and within their boundaries. Also seeing as I may be in your home, I’m very sensitive to a client’s boundaries and will always check in for permission for things around the house.

I wholeheartedly recommend Daryluz as a pet sitter. I had the pleasure of entrusting her care to my beloved Waffle on multiple occasions, and each time, she went above and beyond in providing exceptional care. Daryluz is not just a pet sitter; she is a true animal lover. She has an innate connection with animals and an uncanny ability to make them feel comfortable and loved in any situation. Daryluz always greets her with tail wags and purrs, a clear sign of the bond they share. What sets Daryluz apart is her unwavering commitment to the well-being of pets. She not only ensures that Waffle is well-fed and has fresh water but also engages in playtime, exercise, and cuddles. Waffle adores her and looks forward to her visits. Beyond the basics, Daryluz is incredibly responsible and trustworthy. She follows instructions to the letter, administers medications when needed, and keeps me updated with messages and adorable pictures of Waffle while I'm away. Her attention to detail and communication skills provide peace of mind. In emergencies, Daryluz remains calm and composed, making quick decisions to ensure Waffle's safety and well-being. She truly treats Waffle as if she were her own, and that level of dedication is hard to find. I can't express enough how grateful I am to have Daryluz as my go-to pet sitter. She has become like family to both me and Waffle, and I trust her implicitly. If you're seeking a pet sitter who will not only meet but exceed your expectations, Daryluz is the perfect choice. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of top-notch pet care.

About: I have been around dogs nearly my entire life and I can never get enough of them. Dogs are not only our little furry friends, but they are also family, they need support, respect, attention and most of all love from someone who will give it to them 100% and whole heartedly which is why I take the utmost care and hold the greatest honor to be apart of any canines life. The loyalty and bond that can be created by these 2 individuals is like no other and throughout our entire lives we live and learn to realize who was by our side the most, giving us not only such amazing friends, but the most faithful, devoted and true companions we could ever know
