3. Kathryn J.

“I had the pleasure of having Kathryn watch my dog and cat over the weekend, and i couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment I met her it was clear that our pets were in good hands. Kathryn was incredibly punctual, and, most importantly, showed genuine affection and care for both of my furry family members. Throughout the weekend, I received regular updates and adorable photos, which reassured us that my pets were happy and well-cared for. Our dog can be quite rambunctious , but he took to Katihryn’s calm and friendly demeanor. She took the time to understand each pet's personality and needs, ensuring they were comfortable and content. When I returned home, my dog and cat were relaxed, well-exercised, and clearly had a wonderful time. It's evident that Kathryn is passionate about animals and takes her job seriously. I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional care provided and would highly recommend Kathryn to anyone in need of a reliable and loving pet sitter. We look forward to booking her again in the future! Thank you, for taking such excellent care of our pets!”

5. Alissa S.
“I am pleased to introduce and recommend Alissa to Rover.com because I have witnessed her dedication and compassion for dogs. She runs a rescue organization, she fosters dogs before they are adopted and she works hard to place these animals in their forever homes. We adopted our male beagle from her agency and he is very happy to return to her home whenever we are away. She is a skilled dog handler. She has a comfortable home suitable for boarding with a fenced in backyard and a family who loves dogs as much as she does. Together, they provide a loving environment of supervision, stimulation and attention. And she is a pleasure to work with! We travel (sometimes for several weeks) with complete satisfaction that our dog will be lovingly cared for in her home.”


6. Emily T.
“Emily is amazing with my Luna. She is an attentive, caring and playful pet caregiver! Emily is incredibly responsible and reliable. I would definitely recommend her.”


7. Angel S.
“I would trust Angel anytime to watch my fur babies! She is always so great with my animals. She is amazing with her own doggy and loves her like a child. Angel is very caring and has lots of experience with animals. I know without a doubt she will take care of your pet like it was her own. They will be loved and taken care of well and have lots of fun when they are with her! Angel loves going for walks/hikes so if your dog likes adventures she’s your gal!”

16. Nicole M.
About: I grew up with Labs, German Shepherds and Pekingese along with other breeds and have always felt a special bond with dogs. I volunteered at the West Milford Animal Shelter when I was younger as well. I love to walk sometimes I walk up to 7 miles after a long day so I thought it would be good to help walk some dogs as well! I work full time 8-4:30 and have a fur baby of my own so weekends are best for me but I can work with some later walks if needed I will care for all fur babies as if they were my own. I will make them feel comfortable loved and cared for while watching.
