About: I am an experienced and attentive pet sitter with an eye for detail. My #1 priority is the safety and well-being of your pet, and when your furry friend is in my care you can relax knowing that they are being loved and cared for just as if they were at home. My life is guided by the principles of the Bible and I base all my dealings on honesty. Your pet isn't my only client, you are too, and I am looking forward to building our professional relationship. Customer service is very important to me, and I pride myself on my communication skills. I’ve owned both dogs and cats, have experience with lots of breeds, and can administer medications. Truly, it is my pleasure to provide a safe and loving environment for your pet. No dog should ever have to be lonely and I love keeping them company. When your dog stays with me, they'll enjoy the loving attention of myself and my son. We're so excited to meet you and your four legged friend! I have a pretty flexible schedule. There may be last minute fees if the book is short notice or canceled. No doubt all contributing factors will be taken into consideration. I am no longer having pets stay at my home. When I visit your home specific instructions make things run smoothly. Thank you for your consideration.

Rachel was great! Professional, punctual, great communication, and most importantly, great with Frappe. Even my neighbor commented that she was great from what he observed. She’s the first person I’m going to next time I did someone!

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs in my family, and have moved out and have adopted a cat on my own. I am familiar with what makes pets happy and how to take care of them. I’ve dog sat for close friends and family before and am confident I will be a great resource to count on. I’m working part time and do drive so I am comfortable commuting. It gives me more time to focus on dog and cat care! Safety and trust are prioritized when it comes to pets. Understanding what triggers pets can have and making sure that they are happy and well taken care of,

About: Animals have been part of my family for as long as I can remember — and I treat every pet in my care the same way. From tiny 4-week-old babies to cherished 16-year-old seniors, I’ve had the privilege of raising and caring for animals through every stage of life. With over 20 years in the animal welfare field, I bring hands-on experience with a wide range of behavioral personalities and medical needs. I’m Fear Free Certified and Pet CPR Certified, so your furry family member is always in knowledgeable, compassionate hands. Whether it’s a relaxing cuddle session or an adventurous walk exploring new sights and smells, I love creating safe, enriching experiences for my four-legged friends. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness will always be my top priority. 💛🐶🐾 I'm currently working from home with full availability to be present for your pups. Can adjust hours either morning, afternoon or evening for walks depending on regular schedules or weather. To ensure your pet stays comfortable and consistent, I prefer in-home sitting so their established routine remains uninterrupted. Maintaining the schedule you’ve thoughtfully created helps reduce stress and keeps everything feeling familiar while you’re away. I’m happy to continue any training, crating routines, medications, or enrichment activities so there’s no disruption to their progress.

About: I have 3 beautiful cats however I also have experience with dogs through dog walking at my local animal shelter in high school to currently sitting family friends pets while they are on vacation. I take them for walks, feed them and take them out to do their business or ensure puppy pads are in place considering some of the younger pups I’ve sat for or not yet trained. I also have experience with older dogs that require medication. I follow instructions well and am very friendly. I love playing and spending time with animals. Trusting me with a member of your family is a job I take seriously and will do to the best of my ability. I am currently working part time. My schedule varies day to day but I am able to work around it. Booking in advance is preferred but I can always try to make last minute bookings work. I will treat all animals as I do my own. With the utmost care and dedication. Their needs will always be prioritized. Food, water, potty needs and lots of play, or just some good petting and behind the ear scratches.

About: Hi! My name is Jessica and I’m a reliable, caring, and attentive animal lover based in Elizabeth, NJ. I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and birds. I currently have a one-year-old tuxedo cat named Oreo, so I’m very familiar with daily pet routines, feeding schedules, and providing attentive, loving care. I’ve also helped care for parakeets and a dove that has been part of my family for over 20 years, so I understand the importance of gentle and consistent care—especially for birds. I’m comfortable with friendly dogs of all sizes and enjoy spending time walking, playing, and making sure pets feel safe and happy while their owners are away. I always follow instructions closely and treat every pet like my own. I’m dependable, communicative, and have my own transportation, which allows me to be flexible and reliable for visits or walks. I also provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I’m happy to do a quick meet & greet beforehand to make sure it’s a great fit. I work full-time remotely during the day, which allows me to be flexible and reliable. I’m available for pet care in the evenings on weekdays and have more open availability on weekends. I’m able to provide consistent, attentive care and can adjust my schedule when needed. I always make sure pets get the time, attention, and care they deserve I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I carefully follow each pet owner’s instructions regarding feeding, routines, and any special needs. I take time to build trust with pets so they feel secure and at ease, whether I’m visiting your home or caring for them during walks. I also provide regular updates and photos so you feel confident and reassured while you’re away

About: I've been a petsitter since middle school. I've looked after cats and dogs both young and old, large and small. I'm very flexible and I take special care to keep each pet I care for comfortable and happy. I'm not currently employed, so I have plenty of time. I prefer late hours, but I can handle early risers too. I have a club event every second and fourth Tuesday; otherwise I'm fairly flexible with my activities. I will meet your pet wherever they are. If they need affection, I can give it; if they need space, I can give it. I put their well-being first, no matter what. If they make a mess, I will clean it up.

About: As a vet tech with two years of hands-on experience, I bring medical knowledge and confidence that many sitters don’t have: I’m comfortable giving medications, monitoring health, and handling special needs. Growing up with pets and currently sharing my home with two cats and two dogs has made me skilled at reading body language and adjusting care quickly. I especially love doing gentle positive training with puppies and young dogs, and I provide patient, loving senior care with extra comfort and mobility support. What truly sets me apart is treating every pet like my own, giving them full attention, patience, and genuine love so they stay safe, happy, and well cared for. Overnight House Sitting I can provide overnight care every night from 9 pm – 8 am. While I’m in your home I’ll be fully focused on your pets: playing, cuddling, and keeping them company so they never feel alone. As a vet tech, I’m comfortable with medications, special diets, or any extra medical attention your pet might need. Just let me know their routine and I’ll follow it closely. Dog Walking & Drop-In Visits I offer walks and in-home visits on this schedule: • Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays: 6:00 am – 11:00 am and 9:00 pm – 11:00 pm • Wednesdays & Saturdays: 4:00 pm – 11:00 pm • Sundays: All day I’m usually pretty flexible within those windows and happy to work around your needs with a bit of notice. I always give my full attention to your pets and keep them mentally and physically stimulated, just like I do with my own crew at home. Whether it’s a fun walk, a cozy play session, or peaceful overnight care, your pets will be safe, loved, and well cared for. Pets have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with cats and dogs, and today I’m lucky to share my home with my own two cats and two dogs. For the past two years I’ve worked as a vet tech, giving me hands-on experience caring for animals of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, including those with special medical needs. I genuinely love what I do and treat every pet like my own.

About: Having grown up in a household full of animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, and hedgehogs I possess a lifelong "animal intuition" and a deep comfort level with various species. What truly sets me apart is my hands on experience managing a multi-pet home with my own three cats, which has made me an expert in feline behavior and resource management. Whether it is providing the patient, attentive monitoring required for senior pets or the delicate handling needed for small exotic animals, I am highly adaptable to each pet's unique needs and personality. My schedule is very flexible during the latter half of the week. From Monday to Wednesday, I work as a therapist in Brooklyn. On Thursdays and Fridays, I only have two cases in Staten Island totaling about two hours, which leaves me with plenty of availability from Thursday through Sunday. Caring for animals is a deeply healing experience for me. While I am a huge dog lover, my own home is currently a cat-only household because we rescued three cats from a shelter, one of whom is extremely sensitive to dogs. To ensure her comfort, we decided not to own a dog ourselves, so pet sitting gives me a wonderful opportunity to fulfill my passion for working with dogs. My personal experience with a high-needs, sensitive rescue cat has made me exceptionally patient and skilled in handling pets with various temperaments and specific needs. My approach to pet care focuses on proactive health, hygiene, and emotional well-being. In my own home and when sitting for clients, I prioritize hydration by mixing water and specialized supplements like cranberry powder into wet food to support urinary health, and I ensure a clean environment by scooping litter and washing bowls daily. Most importantly, I understand that pets—especially cats—communicate through subtle, "high-frequency, low-impact" social cues; I provide gentle affection and verbal greetings without overstimulating them, ensuring they feel respected and safe. I treat every animal as a sentient companion, balancing structured routines with the quiet, intuitive interaction they need to thrive.

Angelica is amazing! This is my first time with Rover and I will always book ahead and use her. I have a rescue dog Micky that is not friendly to most people and needs to be cared for from our home From the first Micky really liked her and was well taken care of. Angelica took severe photos per day and texted my husband and I about how Micky was doing. We look forward to future travel knowing our dogs are in good hands!

Melanie was fantastic with Pancho and Taylor. Pancho is recovering from surgery, and Melanie’s veterinary background was a tremendous asset. I felt completely at ease leaving home, knowing both dogs, especially Pancho, were in the care of Melanie. Highly recommended!
