“Melissa was a pleasure to work with and took such great care of my elderly cat, Oliver! She followed all instructions perfectly and even took care of his medication. I felt very comfortable going away knowing she would be there. She provided great updates at every visit which helped me have peace of mind while away. I would definitely recommend Melissa and I am excited to work with her again!”
About: Growing up in an animal-loving household gave me years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds — from dogs and cats to even birds! As a lifelong animal lover, I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy, attentive, and caring looking after your pets. I’m currently a college student with a flexible summer schedule, and I’d love to spend my summer making sure your pets get lots of attention, care, walks, playtime, and of course, treats (if allowed 😄). I currently have both weekends and weekdays open to book! ‼️Please note: - I am not available for recurring visits/walks until June. Message me for more info on this :) Please reach out ahead of time to confirm availability :) I care for every pet like they're my own! As a pet-lover, I prioritize making your pet feel comfortable, and create a safe environment for all personalities. I pay very close attention to your pets needs, and follow their routine as closely as possible. Upon request, I am more than happy to send photo updates to ensure you feel at ease too!
“"Christina was absolutely wonderful! Floyd was so well cared for and clearly soaked up every bit of attention he received. The thoughtful photos and updates Christina shared really put my mind at ease while I was away. It’s such a relief knowing Floyd was in such kind hands!"”
About: Hello there! My name is Donia, but you can call me Nia! I have a passion for animal caretaking and rescue and am pursuing a career in dog grooming while fostering and rescuing in my free time. I am currently working part time at a grooming shop in addition to dog walking and other pet sitting. Believe me, as a dog mom having been held responsible for my pets from the young age of 10, I understand how hard it can be to keep up with the hastle. I have taken care of many different types of pets with different levels of neediness from puppies to elders to special needs dogs and even cats, rabbits, and hamsters. I am known as my neighborhood "dog whisperer". I love providing care for animals in need and would love to give a helping hand to anyone in need. I am also dog and cat first aid certified! Thank you for considering me to help you out and thank you for trusting me with your pets! I am currently working part time and am able to request any day off if given advance notice. I can also care for any animals after work by 3pm. I have a fenced in yard with four friendly dogs, a large home that is able to have separated space if needed. In a client's home I treat their house with respect and leave everything cleaner than when I found it. I treat every single pet as if they were my own!
“Seymour did an outstanding job taking care of my dog while I was away all day. He also sent frequent photos and videos, and overall I am very happy and would highly recommend him.”
About: I’m Jeff, a lifelong animal lover based in Toms River. At 51, I’ve had pets my whole life — dogs, cats, and even a chinchilla I trained along the way! I’ve raised dogs from puppies, training them myself from day one, and currently care for both a senior dog and a senior cat, so I understand the full journey of pet ownership from the very beginning to the golden years. As a work-from-home small business owner, I’m home throughout the day, which means your pet gets consistent company and care — not just a quick visit. Your animals are in experienced, loving hands. Thank You As a work-from-home small business owner, my schedule is built around flexibility. I’m home all day, every day, with no regular outside commitments — though I’m a hands-on dad to two high schoolers, so family always comes first when needed. That said, I’m consistently available for walks and visits in the early morning, mid-morning, and afternoon, making it easy to build a reliable routine your pet can count on. I keep my client list intentional so every animal in my care gets real time and attention, not a rushed visit.” When caring for pets in your home, my priority is keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I treat every client’s home with the utmost respect, and your pet stays in the environment they know and love. I always use a leash and harness on walks — no exceptions — because safety on the road comes first. Throughout every visit or walk you’ll receive updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy and in good hands. In the event of any emergency I will contact you immediately and follow your guidance regarding your veterinarian. Medication needs are welcome and can be discussed on a case by case basis during our meet and greet.
About: I have always had a pet in my life and have been pet sitting for 10 years. I have experience with puppies and kittens all the way up to the senior babies. I also have experience with special needs animals and can administer oral medictaion. I have a passion for pet care and bringing joy to an animals life the way they do ours 💙 I work at a doggy daycare/boarding facility in Brick and have about a 15 minute commute. My schedule is: Mon&Tues - off Wed 1-7 Thurs-Sat 11-7 Sun 7-1 I had a dog growing up named Jade who crossed the rainbrow bridge at 15 years old in October 2018. I was 7 when we got her and we grew up together and were best friends. I now have a cat named Blu who is almost 5! I love his handsome little face so much. Having the opportunity to care for both a dog and cat has given me more knowledge and ability in caring for other peoples pets.
“I contacted Haley very last minute when I had to go to East Tennessee for an emergency. By last minute I mean she was at my house within the hour. She kept me thoroughly updated and took great care of my fur babies, and left my house just as it was. I'd highly recommend Haley for your pet sitting!”
About: I've had dogs my whole life and have also been around cats too. Im very patient, understanding, loyal and trustworthy. I love all animals and would love to help anyone out that needs it. My schedule is flexible and usually can work on last second notices. I would love to get to know you and your pet so everyone can lead a happy life. I work full time as a High School teacher during the week but have time after the school day is over and on weekends to come by. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats at my house. The backyard is fenced in and I have it set up like a dog park. My dogs would love to play in the backyard with other pets. My 2 cats are inside cats and are scared of everything. They rarely come out when anyone new comes to the house. I could come to your place to walk, play and feed your dogs but I could also pick your pet up and bring them to my house for a play date in the backyard (once everyone feels comfortable, of course)
“Barbara was wonderful. She visited Pangur (aka Mama) even before we left for our vacation. She always communicated with us to ease our mind while we were away. I would highly recommend and use Barbara again. And our Mama loved her too!”
About: With 30 years of pet sitting under my belt, I’ve seen it all—tail wags, purrs, and the occasional goat mischief! From pampered pups to sassy cats and quirky farm friends, I’ve built a life around loving and caring for animals of all kinds. Trustworthy, reliable, and always ready with a treat (or two), I make sure your pets feel right at home while you're away. Think of me as your furry (and hooved) family’s favorite human! Life doesn’t always follow a 9-to-5, and neither do pets! I offer care to fit your schedule—including early mornings, evenings, and weekends. Whether your pet needs a sunrise stroll, a dinner-time cuddle, or care during a weekend getaway, I’m here to help—on your time. When it comes to caring for your pets, trust is everything—and I’m committed to earning and keeping that trust every day. I’m neat, organized, and always follow the guidelines you provide to ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether it’s feeding schedules, medication routines, or favorite playtime spots, I take every detail seriously. Above all, your pet’s safety is my top priority, and I’ll treat them like my own, with love and care every step of the way. Please note for the safety of all pets and people proof of your pet’s up to date vaccination records will be required.
About: I’ve always been a huge dog lover and truly enjoy caring for animals. I have experience with everyday pet care including walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship, as well as caring for dogs after surgery and while recovering from illness. I also volunteer at a canine rescue where I help care for the dogs and take them on walks. I’m reliable, compassionate, and treat every dog like they’re my own! I work remotely full time and would have availability early mornings before 9am and evenings after work at 5pm and later and on the weekends. I would care for the pet as if it was my own and be very respectful of the home and surroundings. I’d like to be in a comfortable environment.
“So so relieved with cannolis visit from Rodney! He stopped by the day before to meet him which I appreciated so much considering this was my first time ever using a dog walker. Rodney sent pictures of my happy cannoli boy while I was away and it was really just a breath of fresh air. Will 100% recommend / use Rodney again soon!!”
About: Although I don't have any pets myself, family members have always relied on me to look after dogs. Every family member I know at least owns a dog, and for the most part, they all seem to like me as if I have a special connection with each and every one of them. For the two pups I've looked after belonging to two of my family members, I've had some success teaching them a trick or two that their own pet mom and/or dad had not thought of teaching them in. I'm currently out of the job market for the time being as I'm currently pursuing certifications with regards to working in IT in the near future. Providing Rover services provides a healthy balance to my studying once in a while, although this can change in the future should I decide to get back in the job market and find part-time work. I absolutely obey every rule that a client requires me while looking after their dog and/or cat in their own home. At the same time, I make it a fun learning experience in getting know more about the client's pet care requirements as well as the their pet's personality under my care.
About: As a retired professional, I bring reliability, patience, and a calm presence to every walk. I’ve been a dog owner of two large breeds and one small breed. I have hands-on experience with doodle breeds and their unique personalities. I understand the importance of safety and health. I’ve cared for dogs with medical needs, so I’m comfortable with monitoring, medications, and giving extra attention when needed. Whether your dog loves a brisk walk, a gentle stroll, or some extra cuddles along the way, I treat every pup like family because that’s what they are. As a recently retired police officer, I currently work part-time so my hours are flexible and will have plenty of time for your fur babies. I will treat your home as if it were my own. I will safely walk your dog on leash, and can easily crate your dog, if need be.
About: I've been a pet owner all of my life. I have helper along the way with many kinds of pets that include birds, fish, turtles, dogs and cats I live in Manchester NJ in Ocean county Pet sitting is a great way for me to help others and I am good with animals I have mostly gone to daily visits So I work with each client as their needs are wanted so I'm aware of how to properly care for their pets
