I am so happy we found Julia to watch our cat Figment with a mix of drop-in visits and house stays. We received regular updates and a few videos of Julia and Fig that literally made me laugh out loud, so I knew our cat was having a great time. Throughout the booking, Julia provided clear communication and made sure in advance to notify me if we needed to make any adjustments to the schedule. She followed all the instructions and left our place, and most importantly our cat, in perfect condition!

About: Hi, I’m Anna! I use rover for my own pup Billy so I understand the importance of finding someone loving and trustworthy to take care of your pets while you are away. I have been a dog owner for five years now and grew up with cats so I am very comfortable taking care of both cats and dogs! I am currently remote a few days a week so on those days I have tons of flexibility! If you need care on the weekends, when I am in town I can spend all day spoiling your pet! I have a fenced yard and crate if needed (we have our own dog so I have all the typical things). For cats, I will make sure to spend time with them throughout the day so they are not lonely when you are away!

About: I grew up with both cats and dogs. I love animals and take excellent care of them. My mom was a wildlife rehabilitator too so we also had squirrels, rabbits, and even a raccoon at one point! I primarily do pet care on the weekends now but occasionally available other days. Send me a message if you need someone and I’ll see what I can do! If I confirm a booking, I will be there! I am incredibly respectful of other people's things and try to leave things as if I was never there (except for your happy and relaxed pet, of course!).

About: I’m an experienced pet sitter who loves spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Whether it’s energetic playtime, peaceful walks, or just hanging out, I tailor care to your dog’s needs. Count on attentive, trustworthy care and plenty of tail wags!

For longer staycations, I’d be happy to teach your cat fun tricks—like a cute hand shake. I’m available for cat boarding every day between 9 AM and 6 PM EST with at least one day’s notice. I ensure a safe, clean, and calm environment by strictly following your cat’s routine and care instructions. Whether in my home or yours, I secure all doors and windows, maintain fresh litter, and minimize stress. I provide regular updates so you always know your pet is safe and happy.

About: ((**FYI** please be sure to read my availability on the Rover calendar. I make sure to keep that updated. The dates I can provide my services as well as the time of day I am available are listed.)) Growing up, I have always been surrounded by animals. At one point, I wanted to become a veterinarian. I understand that when caring for pets you must be patient, kind, attentive and knowledgeable. Over the last few years, I’ve watched pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I am on Rover to work with pet owners in my area (or in a decent vicinity) who are in need of some extra help. While in my care, I want you to feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, protected and being treated with love. EXPLORE MY PROFILE & LET’S CONNECT 🤝 I am currently not working so I have flexibility to lean into my side job with pet care. My daily routine usually consists of day trading, being in the gym, doing home and office organizing projects for businesses/employers. Of course I’m pretty cool and do other things too (lol) .. no but seriously, I have been fortunate to lean into a lot of passion projects and side hustles since my layoff in March. If our availabilities align, I would be happy to assist with your pet care needs. (HOUSE SITTING, BOARDING is inactive right now, or DROP-IN VISITS) Whether I’m at a client’s house or caring for a pet in my home (inactive at the moment) I will ask them to thoroughly walk me through their routine with their pet. If a client brings their pet to my home (inactive give at the moment), I will make sure my apartment is “child-proof” so the pet’s safety is ensured. Most importantly, I will make sure I have a few familiar items at my place that’s from the owner’s home so their pet can get comfortable. For Drop-in visits, please let me know if you would like me to feed them, how long you would like me to stay and how many drop-in visits for the day!

Lincoln Park, Jersey City, NJ, 07304

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since a young age. I was the primary caregiver for all of our pets growing up and frequently asked by family and friends to come take care of theirs. I’m currently working part time and therefore have a mixture of daytime and evening availability for walks and house visits. I’m available to start right now. I like to focus first on developing a bond and trust between myself and the animal. This usually involves a combination or time, play, and routine involvement in their lives. I am more than willing to take care of the animals in their own home as I am not able to care for them in mine due to space constraints.

About: I’ve always had family pets, and Kaiser has been with me now for 10 years. I love meeting new animals, and I’ve never been intimidated by size or behavior, they are all friends to me! I like sitting with pets and giving them good cuddles and scratches when they warm up to me. Besides all that, I am highly reliable and available to communicate at all times. Right now I am working fully from home, and I make my own hours so I can organize my day around your pet’s needs. I can guarantee walks for dogs at least twice a day, certainly more as needed. My rented space does not have yard access, so boarding would be fully indoors between walks. I also have two cats and a dog, and while they all get along famously, if you’re uncertain how well your pet would share the space with mine, we can try a test meeting, or else I’m happy to do drop-in visits at your home.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since a young age. I was the primary caregiver for all of our pets growing up and frequently asked by family and friends to come take care of theirs. I’m currently working part time and therefore have a mixture of daytime and evening availability for walks and house visits. I’m available to start right now. I like to focus first on developing a bond and trust between myself and the animal. This usually involves a combination or time, play, and routine involvement in their lives. I am more than willing to take care of the animals in their own home as I am not able to care for them in mine due to space constraints.

We have been very happy with Mikael as our pet sitter! He is very reliable and communicative. We know our pets are getting the love they are missing from us while we are away when he is taking care of them! We will definitely continue to use him as our sitter.
