Christina did a great job looking after our two dogs and our home while we were away in vacation for a week. We were very, very pleased and impressed with her work, and would highly recommend Christina as a trustworthy and kind pet and house sitter.

Kasper was absolutely phenomenal with my dogs. From the moment we connected, they were communicative, thoughtful, and clearly experienced. They treated my dogs like their own. Patient, attentive, and genuinely caring. I received consistent updates that put my mind completely at ease, and when I came home, my dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. That says everything. It’s not easy to trust someone with your pets, but Kasper exceeded every expectation. I would not hesitate to use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and responsible dog sitter. Thank you, Kasper!! you’re truly amazing!

I have to admit I was a bit nervous leaving Seva in the care of someone we had just met. But from our very first meeting, I felt comfortable with Chris. He has a calming, grounded presence and was immediately attentive—and most importantly, Seva approved! Throughout the entire process, Chris was communicative, responsive, and made every detail feel easy. While I was traveling, he kept me at ease with timely responses and updates. I came home to a happy pup, a well-watered garden, and a clean, tidy house that looked just as I left it. I’m so grateful for the care and intention Chris brought to every part of his time with Seva. Highly recommend. Thanks ~ Theresa and Seva

About: As a lifelong animal lover with plenty of experience, I understand the importance of companionship for pets. Whether it’s a playful walk or simply keeping them company, I’m dedicated to making sure your furry friend feels loved and cared for—just as they do for me! I’m passionate about providing this care and would love to help you and your pets for the long run. I love taking dogs on walks, whether it’s around the neighborhood, through a park, or even around your home. Exploring different places gives dogs a fresh and exciting experience, which is both stimulating and healthy for them. I make sure every walk is fun and enriching for your pet! I tailor every walk to suit each dog’s unique needs, whether it’s a quick stroll or a longer adventure. I also love engaging in fun playtime—whether it’s throwing a ball or playing with their favorite toys, I make sure your dog stays active and happy. Every moment spent with them is filled with care and love!

About: I have always enjoyed caring for all kinds of animals, being their comfort, as well as building a loving connection. I have looked after family members’ and friends’ pets in the past, while they were away or just needed some extra help. Also, I do have experience with different temperaments, so shy or anxious is no issue! I never stop learning more insight about animals, so you can be rest assured knowing a reliable person is looking after your pets. At the moment, I am currently fully available for your pets needs. I can throughout the week walk/ pet sit. I look forward to meeting and caring for your animal. I am always happy knowing that I’m able to provide great care for each client’s pet. I’m happy to accommodate myself to your pets schedule and needs to mitigate any anxiety or disruption in regular routine. Including feeding times, daily walks, play time etc. safety is always in the forefront. All in all, I am committed to maintaining their routines and keeping them happy.

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)

About: I have always owned a dog, my mom used to breed dogs so I always was around them. I have been taking care of animals since I was little but I would say for the last 10-15 years I actually did dog watching and would watch my grandmothers friends dogs at her house and would also drop in as needed. I have 3 dog babies and they are exactly that, big babies. I rescued all 3 from a rescue as puppy’s and my pitty was a runt and now is a big boy! I also have fostered dogs and helped my sister with her fosters. I can help with basic tricks but I’m not a professional and don’t claim to be! I have lived and taken care of some senior dogs. I’m comfortable with dogs from puppies to senior. I am also comfortable giving meds if needed, I haven’t had to give a dog an injection but I am willing to learn if you are willing to teach! I currently work fulltime as a unit secretary at the hospital, I can leave during my break for an hour. I work 7am-330pm and I am free most evenings after work. I also work every 3rd weekend so I am available on my off weekends. But the weekend I work I am not available because I work 7a-7p. If your pup needs some extra time to get used to people I am more then happy to come over before you book and meet them to make sure I can help make you and them as comfortable as possible. I am comfortable walking 2 big dogs at a time and 3-4 smalls dogs at a time. I don’t mind updating you as much as you need as they are your babies just as mine are to me. I put Shrek and Harry Potter on for my boys so they don’t get lonely during the day. I also make sure anything they can get into that might hurt them is away, and I make sure they have their collars on as well as double checking doors are locked. I am very accommodating so it never hurts to ask questions to see if it’s something I can help you feel more comfortable!

About: I have such an affinity with dogs. I always emphasize the importance of earning their trust before anything. This makes me a genuine caretaker towards all animals. Except birds. Absolutely not lol. I do have on-call nights as a funeral director, which does make it tricky for a strict schedule. I am always looking for ways to earn money and meet others! I will always treat your home like my own. I never leave a mess and I am always mindful of others’ space. I am never one to turn down extra tasks, such as cleaning or tidying up.

About: Hello! I have been loving and caring for animals since I was 12 years old. I am a certified NJ teacher, but unfortunately have had to leave the classroom due to various medical conditions. I taught middle and high school English and coached girls soccer & basketball. While I can no longer teach full-time, I still love being in a caregiver role, especially with animals. I have taken care of dogs, cats, and other pets in a comprehensive and holistic manner for two decades now. I would be honored to help care for your little loved ones and help give you peace of mind while you’re away, at work, or in need of an extra set of loving hands. Because I can no longer work full time due to my medical conditions, I am available weekdays and weekends, including holidays! I am comfortable doing feedings, walks (including to parks if allowed by owner), medication administration, baths, litter boxes, and of course lots of snuggling. I am incredibly detail oriented and I live by “leave every place you go better than how you found it.” I respect clients’ spaces and privacy. I love to help tidy up and clean as well, as long as clients feel comfortable with that. I have a calm, empathetic demeanor that animals seem drawn to.

Bryan did a great job dog sitting Mikey. We had to cut our trip early due to the snow storm and Bryan was very flexible and took so much stress off our plate. Would highly recommend him to anyone planning a trip - especially dog owners like me who often stress about finding the right person for their pup!

About: I love animals I have been taking care of animals since I was a kid. Making sure every animal is loved is very important to me. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine through planned, consistent time set aside for each pet’s needs. On a daily basis, I schedule time for feeding, providing fresh water, walks or exercise, cleaning litter boxes or waste areas, and giving attention, playtime, and companionship. I also monitor pets for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health. On a weekly basis, I incorporate deeper cleaning of pet areas, restocking supplies, grooming as needed, and reviewing any special instructions from pet owners. I plan my schedule in advance to ensure pet care responsibilities are met reliably without interfering with other commitments. Pet care in my home and/or a client’s home is provided based on the specific service requested and the individual needs of each pet. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding schedules, portion sizes, medications, exercise, and routines. In a client’s home, I ensure pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment by maintaining their normal daily routine, providing fresh food and water, cleaning litter boxes or waste areas, and offering companionship, playtime, and supervision. In my home, pets are kept in a safe, clean, and calm environment with appropriate supervision, regular feeding, exercise, and rest. I prioritize the pet’s safety, health, and emotional well-being at all times and communicate with owners as needed to provide updates or address concerns.

About: I have had dogs for over 30 years. From border collies, Rottweilers, pit bulls, Australian cattle/Sheppard and various other breeds. While I am new to rover, I am not new to caring for dogs. I have had many friends entrust me with their dogs for days to weeks at a time. My wife and I currently have a 30 lbs mix breed named Riley. She loves walks on the beach and playing with other dogs. I have a large fenced in back yard that is perfect for dogs to run and play in. I also live in a quiet neighborhood with wooded trails near by perfect for long walks. Currently I am between finishing helicopter flight school and starting my new job as a helicopter tour pilot. My schedule open daily for pet care Safety and trust are my top priorities. I have a large fenced in yard that is perfect for your dog to play and run with my dog Riley. Since every dog has their own unique personality, I will be sure to learn their individual needs and wants. Whether it’s playing in the yard, walks around the neighborhood or walks on the beach, I will always make sure your dog feels safe and comfortable.
