About: I’ve been caring for dogs for friends and family for over 11 years, working with all breeds and sizes. I work remotely and don’t currently have a dog of my own, so I’m happy to give your pup lots of attention and care. My apartment building also has a rooftop dog park where dogs can safely enjoy off-leash time. Working remote gives me a lot of flexibility to fit in walks every few hours, as needed. Unless I am in a virtual meeting, I can attend to your fur baby right away. I live in an apartment building with a dedicated rooftop dog area that has a good-sized grassy space. I’m also happy to walk dogs to the nearest park, especially if they enjoy longer walks. I don’t have a dog of my own, and I only board one dog at a time (unless sibling pups), so your pup will have my full attention.

I can't wait to meet your baby and provide them with entertainment and enrichment while you are away! I am currently working on my master's degree in an online program and work part time, both responsibilities warrant flexible hours that I am able to schedule myself. This will allow me to give your baby my full focus, attention, and loving! I have a fenced in yard and a basement that can act as a separation if need be. I am reliable and physically strong and love to play and cuddle with pets that want to or am just as able to give them the space to try to have them gain my trust. I am also experienced in bathing large, anxious dogs.

About: My name is Kristen and I currently live in Lavallette. I have a ton of experience with all types of animals especially cats and dogs. I currently live in a home with a fenced in backyard, perfect for your pet to roam. My house is very pet friendly and I will make sure to accommodate whatever is needed. I work remote so I have a lot of flexibility with regards to housing your pet, or going for walks etc. My house is entirely hardwood floors with very little carpet in case accidents do happen. Your pet will have the ability to roam freely throughout my two story house, and sleep wherever they want. We currently have one small very friendly border terrier in the house. Happy to let them interact or keep them separate your choice! We go to the park and I try to take her to the dog park every so often to change it up. I make sure she always has enough food and water when we return, to make sure she stays happy and healthy. I love all animals and have a lot of experience caring for them. I raised my older dog since she was a puppy and took care of her after surgery. I also consider myself a good trainer, as my old dog knew over 15 tricks. I will make sure to provide your pet with the love and attention he or she deserves. :) I work remotely full time with a very flexible schedule so I am able to provide full time care for your pet! I am active but just as happy to stay and snuggle up with your pup :) I have a completely fenced in back yard so your pet is free to roam without any worries of escaping!

About: I am an energetic, fit, happy, mature and reliable work from home mom of a 12yo dog. I have been sitting for friends and family for decades. I am looking to add some more dog happiness to my life by helping you with your dog care, sitting, walking (jogging), and playing needs. I have lots more love and affection to share and plenty of flexibility in my schedule to fill in the gaps for you and your pup. I can't wait to meet them and you! Boarding in my home will be limited to just your dog(s) so that your pet(s) and mine are receiving the attention and love they deserve. I am not currently working full time so I have flexibility to spend time and bond with your precious fur baby - no skimping on the attention! I have a large fenced yard and a dog door for my own boy (and we go for lots of walks too). We love to snuggle on the couch and play freely. It is a very loving and fun environment.

About: I believe what sets me apart from other pet sitters is my respect and innate love for all animals. My Mom asked me when I was 3 years old what I would like to be when I grow up and I said, "I want help children and animals.” I have not changed much since then! I am now a pediatric nurse who devotes her time to her cats, a cat colony in Howell and farm animals as well. I have been around animals my whole life, and I could not imagine life without them. I care for animals throughout the day, everyday. I use my time wisely and ensure every animal is cared for in every way no matter what. I care for my pets in my home by providing a clean, safe, loving, and stimulating environment for them. My cats are provided with fresh drinking water (spring water) throughout the day, nutritious food (wet & dry), litter boxes cleaned twice daily and clean glass doors/windows to bird/squirrel watch. My cats also sunbathe on the back patio and enjoy their cat nip as well.
About: I bring a lifetime of experience caring for dogs, from raising and training puppies to caring for senior dogs. As a semi-retired healthcare professional, I’m responsible, observant, and attentive to details. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, and I’ll treat your pet with the same care, patience, and attention I would want for my own. I recently found myself unexpectedly semi-retired and looking to stay active while doing something I truly love... spending time with dogs! This year, I lost my beloved Bernese Mountain Dog and am missing having a dog in my life. I’ve raised and trained dogs from puppyhood, including a Border Collie (if you know, you know!) and my Bernese, as well as cared for many other dogs over the years. I’ve also boarded friends’ dogs and provided drop-in care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pet because I’ve relied on great dog sitters myself, who treated my dogs as part of their family. I’d love the opportunity to give your dog the same love, attention, and care I would want for my own. My priority is always the safety, comfort, and well-being of your pet. I’ll follow your instructions and routines carefully, including feeding schedules, medications if applicable, leash requirements, and any crating or other guidelines you provide. During walks, I’ll stay alert to our surroundings and be aware of other dogs, people, traffic, and anything else that could affect your pet’s safety. Most importantly, when I’m caring for your pet, I’ll be present and engaged, not distracted by my phone. I want your dog to get my full attention, whether we’re out for a walk or spending time together during a drop-in visit.
About: I ensure pets feel safe, comfortable and happy with personalized routines, play time and plenty of love while you’re away. 15+ years of experience of pet sitting/pet owner. I have assisted in whelping puppies and care for my own dog with multiple health issues. I work a typical 8:30-4:30 job in the Ocean and Monmouth county area. But I am flexible with work from home, or traveling for drop in visits. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for running, frolicking and playing. I understand the importance of maintaining their routines and schedules all while providing endless love! I am comfortable with administering medication if necessary.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 25 years and have always had a deep love for animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering medications, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to giving you peace of mind by providing attentive, compassionate care and regular updates while you’re away. As a teacher, I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time to give pets the attention they deserve. During the school year, I’m available before and after school, on weekends, holidays, and school breaks. In the summer, my schedule is much more open, giving me extra time for walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I make up for it with frequent leashed walks, outdoor play, and lots of one-on-one attention. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions you provide. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’ve always loved dogs and always wanted one growing up. We finally got a dog before I went to college and ever since she has been an integral part of our family. I love taking her on walks around town and we love playing on the beach! I am currently home from college and looking to make some money while spending time with dogs and I am flexible during the week to go for walks throughout the day. I am not a pet sitter but I will make sure your dog gets back home safely after our walks, that their poop is cleaned up, and that they had some good exercise!

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.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have always been a dog lover. As well, I have worked at a dog kennel where I was in charge of feeding all of the dogs and letting them out to go the bathroom. The dogs ranged in ages from puppies all the way up to senior dogs which needed assistance in getting up to start walking. There is no dog too young or too old for me. I will embrace and love your best friend like they are my own! We will go for walks and play every night to make sure your best friends does not miss you too much! If you have any questions, please don’t be afraid to ask. Let’s have a barking good time together!

I also hop on these apps when traveling, and really whenever I have some extra time in my day.
