“Paula has a lot of experience and really knows how to handle things smartly, so I trust her. I’d feel totally comfortable leaving my beloved cat with her. I was lucky to find Paula on Rover, and from now on, she’ll always be the one I trust with my cat.”


“Kelly is the absolute best. This was our first time on Rover, and her communications were clear and quick, and she did great work reassuring us that our pup was in good hands. Loved the photographs, and really appreciated the time she took to communicate with us by phone and by text. We’re only slightly concerned that our pup now likes her more than us! 😀 Hugely impressed with Kelly - she’ll take fab care of your pups.”


“Baris is everything we could have hoped for in a dog walker. He’s kind, experienced, and has such an obvious deep love for animals. We’re so glad we found him!”


About: I’ve been trusted for years to help care for the pets of family, friends, and neighbors. I love all animals, especially dogs and cats of all needs and sizes! I’m a very patient, gentle and loving person who will give my all to help make sure your pet is comfortable and happy. I will ensure your pet has a fun time and is well taken care of. Currently I have several small commitments during the week, and plenty of free time to hang out with your pet! I am flexible and am happy to work things out with you! When visiting your home, I will make sure to treat your space with the utmost care and respect. I will make sure your pet is fed, that they haven’t had any accidents, and will spend some quality playtime with them. I can help administer any medications they may have and can take them on walks or let them outside for some fun playtime!!

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a teenager. From the family dog to the neighbors that are going out of town. I would feed the cats outside that usually ended up becoming a village. I care for two amazing cats now that are well behaved (Orange cat to the best of his abilities). I have an action camera that I can bring along upon request. I also like to take pictures so if allowed I’ll return some great pictures of your pet! I am an early bird that works from home with a very flexible schedule. I also go for evening walks around the park which are usually filled with dogs. Weekends are usually free. My cats get groomed weekly and have a food schedule that adapts well to their growing diet. When we dog sit our friends 2 Australian Shepard they are full of energy and get walked 3 times a day. Same goes for the family Boxer that has a few more years on him so he goes for a mild walk around the park.

“Irisdelie was amazing, great communication and so so wonderful with my cats. Provided great updates with adorable pictures after each visit. I felt very comfortable and happy knowing my babes were being well cared for and loved while I was away.”


“Nhi was everything you could want in a pet sitter - very attentive, courteous, responsive and took amazing care of my cat while I was away. I could not recommend her enough to watch over your pet and look forward to the opportunity to booking her again in the future!”


“Jestine is great and very sweet!! Our cat Juju warmed up to her quickly and we appreciated her kind and gentle energy towards him. Highly recommended and would book with her again!”


“Siara did amazing! She’s super good with communication and she’s good at sending pics throughout the stay! Normally my dogs greet me anxious when I have to board them or hire a sitter but they were not anxious at all! I definitely recommend Siara”


“Kayla was absolutely WONDERFUL with our two cats. Our cats are still acclimating to one another, and not only did she spend time with each of them but she did an amazing job at having them play together, listening to them if they had enough, and overall giving them many positive bonding experiences with each other. I also have a much more involved feeding routine/schedule for them than most people, and she followed everything perfectly. I always looked forward to her reports and pictures, and she was very thorough on her stay and how the cats were acting/feeling. I'm 100% sure they will miss her (especially Filo) and I will definitely call on Kayla again in the future!”


“Mauri truly saved the day at the very last minute! I couldn’t see my puppy through the camera and was extremely worried — I even feared something had happened to him. I booked with Mauri just minutes in advance, and she responded so quickly and kindly. She gave me peace of mind right away. 100% recommended — I’d definitely book with her again! 🫶🏻”


About: I started working with animals at 18, from dog grooming to caring for friends’ pets. Over time, I learned that every animal has its own personality and needs, and that patience and compassion are key to gaining their trust. Now, as a proud mom of two dogs, my love for animals has only grown stronger, and it inspires me to treat every pet with the same level of care I give my own. currently work at a beauty salon from Tuesday to Saturday, but I have a flexible schedule, especially from Tuesday to Thursday. I’m fully available on Mondays. From Tuesday to Thursday, I can care for your little ones in the mornings or after 5:00 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are a bit more limited for me, but with advance planning, I’m happy to help. I can take them on walks, assist with feeding, or keep them company at night if they’re home alone. I adapt with love, commitment, and responsibility to their needs. I provide a calm, safe environment with lots of love and patience. I can care for your pet in your home or visit for walks, feeding, and companionship. I’m flexible, respectful of routines, and treat every fur baby like family.


About: I am a school psychologist in Palisades Park. I have owned dogs my entire life. I love a dog's need for attention and their energy and unconditional love! During the summer, I can be available most days and most times during the day. I am available most evenings. I'm an early bird! I am looking forward to becoming friends with your dog while getting our exercise. I am also looking forward to your pet getting the attention he or she needs. I'm friendly, honest, loyal, and looking forward to a new adventure. I have a dog, Stephen. He is 3 years old and lives at home with me and my husband. Reach out to see if we’re a good match! I’m available some weekends. I can take them on walks, follow a schedule, and love a routine. My current dog is chill and likes other dogs too. How would you like me to take care of your dog? You just let me know and I’ll follow your instructions. I know how important it is to have a trusting person watch my dog. Your dog is allowed on my bed, couch, and wherever he may be comfortable.

About: $20 off your 1st rover service! https://www.rover.com/sit/chrisy67308 I have a German shepherd malinois which is also my first pet. I love him to death and take his health (mentally, physically, etc) seriously. I would do the same for yours! I have dog sat 3 dogs at once (including mine) for a few weeks before. My dog can acclimate to new dogs after a meet and greet. I can handle dogs with raw food diets and have baby gates in some rooms to separate dogs if they're not getting along! I have a back yard to run around in (not grass). I have time on the weekends and wfh. I have gated fences and rooms. I can watch dogs while I work. I can take them on walks in the afternoon. I can crate if needed (need to assemble - fits gsd). I can handle walking dogs up and down stairs (weight dependent). I will ask for permission before giving any "new" treats or meal items.

About: A little about myself: My name is Nathalie I'm 27 years old, I have a BA from Rutgers University in Political Science and currently own a local small business in Kearny! Ive owned dogs for most of my life and couldnt imagine it any other way! Once we (my boyfriend and I) moved into a nice home with a big backyard we decided we wanted more dogs! How many more? Hard to say, but luckily with Rover we get to take care of and spend time with so many of them! We'd love to set up a Meet and Greet to show you our home & where your dog will be spending their vacation if you chose to let us watch your furry little friend! Local or out of state this is a loving and safe place for your pet to stay! We are a young couple with one dog of our own (a 2 year old Pomsky, Pomeranian and Husky mix) and a lot of space to share. We love all breeds and sizes. Barkley is a very friendly host who knows how to play well with others and enjoys sharing his toys with all his puppy friends. I can work with you if your pup has any special needs or feeding preferences. We do multiple backyard run arounds ( the backyard has a high sturdy fence and is large enough for a good game of fetch) and a minimum of 2 long walks a day. I mostly work from home so I have the time to play with the dogs until they're nice and worn out. On the days that I do go into the office I still make time to do the long night walks. If you have an older dog who prefers to relax, thats also very manageable. The dogs are allowed on the couch and all cuddles are welcome! If you have a dog that prefers to be alone, we have a spare bedroom that can be gated off with its own TV and a nice big window to sunbathe in so they can have their space while still having the door open and being able to keep an eye on whats going on with the rest of the house. Basically let me know what you need and I would be happy to do as much as I can to make your requests possible. If you have any other questions please let me know! I look forward to meeting you both.

“Jessica was fantastic with our cat Tammy, and took great care of her while we were away. Highly recommend her, and would definitely use her services again. Thank you.”

Sage P.
“Sage is one of the kindest, most gentle, and loving souls I’ve ever met. I have watched them handle dogs of different breeds, sizes, and attitudes with grace. Out of the kindness of their heart Sage walks their own dog for several hours almost every day. He is a lover of all living things, saving small bugs from my pool, stopping to look at pretty flowers, and enjoying walks through nature. My three dogs absolutely adore him, even our pup with some trauma and anxiety. If you’re looking for someone who will go out of their way to make your animal feel loved, Sage is your best bet.”
