About: As a veterinary technician and proud dog mom of two Cavaliers, I understand how important it is to find someone reliable for your pets. With years of hands-on experience and a genuine love for animals, I make sure each dog or cat feels safe, happy, and cared for—just like they do at home When I’m not at the veterinary clinic, I love spending my extra time caring for pets in my community. With flexible availability during the week and weekends, I’m here to make sure your pets are safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I make sure every walk is secure, every visit is calm, and every animal feels loved and cared for. With experience in a veterinary clinic and as a dog mom myself, I know how to create a safe and happy environment for every pet I meet.
About: I grew up with a cat and dog and have walked or pet-sat for several breeds and sizes. I’m hoping that my time with your pet will help fill the hole of not having my pets at school with me! I’m currently attending classes at Seton Hall University and working part-time. With the way my schedule is set up, I have plenty of breaks and opportunity during the day for pet care! I grew up with a very anxious dog, so I know how to help give your pet what they need, whether that is space, attention, or anything else

Safety is the most important, when pet sitting. I take pride in making sure pets are feed and provided love and lots of fun, each visit.

About: I have owned and fostered many different types of animals. I get along well with cats and dogs, and have fostered animals with special needs (bathing, ear cleaning, medication administration). I love to go on long walks and create a connection with animals. My goal is to make your’s and your pet’s lives easier by providing a safe, trustworthy, and reliable service. I currently work remotely and have a car, so I am very available for day-time walks and check ins, as well as into the evening and on weekends. I am happy to adhere to any special needs for your animals, but I’ll always be honest about what I have experience doing. I will follow all care instructions, and make sure to take the safest walking route for your dog!
“Jade is hands down the BEST person i’ve booked on rover!!! My cat has so much anxiety when we leave for vacation and she gained his trust so quickly (even better than family members he’s grown up with)! She sent me multiple updates of my baby each day and made me feel like we really left our boy in the right hands. She even got him a little gift before her stay ended!! truly the kind of person you want in your space and taking care of your fur babies! We would be more than grateful if she would watch our baby again! Thanks again jade!! truly one of the most thoughtful humans!!<3”
“Lizbeth was amazing and went above and beyond in watching our cats. She followed all instructions and made adjustments when needed. She always checked in and sent pictures. She is very knowledgeable about cats and will do what is best for your pet. We will definitely rebook with Lizbeth for all our future needs.”

About: Hi, I’m Bee, and I’ve helped take care of dogs and cats for around 6 years. I don’t have any pets of my own (yet!), but I have assisted friends with dogsitting and also Rover-ing! I’ve also fostered cats, and that has given me an edge in knowing how to make an animal comfortable quickly, especially in a new environment. I also have experience in giving powder, pill, and eyedrop medication. I believe that in order to give your pet the best care, we should work together and be on the same page about your pet’s needs, habits, and anything else you’d like to share! I also love taking photos of them and sending them to update you on how they’re doing. If this all sounds great, send me a message! I work fully remote, so I have time to take your dog(s) on walks generally before 8:30 AM, sometime in the afternoon, and after work at 6 PM. We can work out an appropriate schedule that most closely mimics their usual routine! Within my community, we have a dog park, so depending on how comfortable you are with allowing your dog(s) to socialize with others while you are away, I can take them there or map a new route to avoid the dog park if needed. Around the community we have some good routes for walking as well as a pond in case your pup wants to explore and smell! In my home, we avoid any strong scents, plants, chemicals and cleaning products that could pose harm to animals. Trash is secured in a cabinet.
About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, I provide reliable, compassionate pet care tailored to your pet’s unique needs. From daily walks and feeding to overnight stays and special care routines, your pet’s comfort and happiness are always my top priority. I am currently not working, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding 7 days a week. Times are flexible. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment with personalized routines, enrichment, and close supervision. I do have a cat, but this will never be a problem—introductions are done carefully, and pets are always monitored to ensure everyone feels comfortable. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I follow their normal routines to reduce stress and provide consistent, compassionate care. I treat every pet like family and respect every home as if it were my own, while keeping owners updated for peace of mind.
“Gabi was an incredibly attentive, caring sitter for our kitty! She provided house sitting for four nights, and did a fabulous job. We returned home to a very relaxed, happy kitty with no stress. We could tell from the regular updates that she got lots of play time and kept to her routine very well. Gabi loved on Shootki so much and it's clear she absolutely loves and understands cats! We felt confident being away, and not worried. We would highly recommend Gabi for house sitting kitties, as she is caring, great with cat care, and very responsible!”

Angelica did a wonderful job taking care of our two kitties, Jellybean and Sid, while we were away! Her detailed rover cards with lots of pictures really helped us feel at ease knowing that our fur babies were getting so much love and care. Would definitely book again — thank you so much!
Shannon provided cat sitting for my two cats over a period of a week via daily drop ins. She was detailed and thorough in her meet and great. Shannon was intentive to my cats needs, kept me updated throughout my travel, and made sure to exercise my cats the best one can. She easily navigated my automated cat feeders, kept the litter box clean, and made sure to tidy up any messes the cats may have made between visits. I'm sure the boys will miss their daily play time and tube treat sessions with Shannon! Will be sure to book again.
Bre and Myah were an absolute treasure. Super communicative, extremely friendly, and so so good with our girls! One of our babies was recently hospitalized and we needed Bre and Myah to help out with SubQs while we were away. They were amazing and gave me constant updates about the process. Highly highly highly recommend!!
