About: I can take on the most hyper of dogs (I have one myself). I understand the high demand of a hyper dog and am ready to walk and play with your furry friend! I can also care for small critters! I work 2p-10p full time as a behavior specialist with individuals with autism. I am available most mornings and am available for overnights after 10pm! I always ensure that my pets have everything they need: lots of love, an extra long walk on sunny days, toys to play with, and food that meets their diets needs.
About: My first sentence was “I like cows!” so you can guess that I have always loved animals. I have taken care of babies, houseplants, houses, dogs, and cats and am a trusted caregiver to all creatures. I work part-time at a museum, so my schedule is flexible. Filling in the rest of my week taking care of animals is the best use of my time I can think of! I am one of those people who talks to animals constantly. I also do a lot of activities, such as crochet, where the experience is improved by having an animal sit next to you. Your pet will never feel alone.
“Honor is great. She plays with our dog while I am away and my wife is at work, walks him all over town and is very communicative every single day. I would highly recommend her.”
About: I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m calm, patient, and always pay attention to what the dog needs, whether that’s play, rest, or just quiet company. I also keep owners updated so they feel connected and worry-free. This isn’t just a gig for me, I actually care about the pets I watch Currently I have no job so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I will make sure your pet has an amazing time I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe and comfortable in their own space. I keep their feeding, walks, and playtime consistent, and I give them lots of attention so they don’t feel alone. I also keep the home clean and secure, and I stay in touch with regular updates and photos.

About: I have some experience with dogs. I don’t mind cleaning up after any dog. I also enjoy going for walks and playing fetch with dogs. I am currently a college student at Rider University. I have almost full availability to care for your precious fur baby. I’m available both before and after class as well as many nights. I can easily care for your fur baby with any directions left. I will be able to spend time and play with them while also making sure they are comfortable.
About: I have taken care of cats my whole life and had a beautiful Black Lab who lived to 13 years old. My pets have all needed senior care, including special diets, medication, and issues with waste elimination as they got older. I will take good care of your fur babies! I am a school teacher, home in the late afternoon. I am off over the summer so I can house sit or take care of your pets any time over the summer. I will care for pets in your home. I have my own pets and can not house any other animal here. However, I am willing to come to your home, walk your pets, and feed them, play with them, take your dog to the park, or house sit. Let me know what you need!
About: I deeply enjoy caring for dogs as I grew up with them throughout my childhood! Neighbors and family frequently confide in me to care for their pets, and I currently care for a guinea pig.

About: Hi, this is Connie! I literally grew up with dogs and have 13+ years of experience caring for them. Not only do I treat pets like family, but I firmly believe they are family. I truly understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, so I’m patient, attentive, and cater to each one. Your pup will feel loved, safe, and happy with me. I’m a freelancer, currently working from home in Princeton, NJ. Pet care naturally fits into my everyday routine, no matter the time of day! Whether your dog needs a midday potty break or an afternoon play session, I’m always available and flexible. I’ll treat your furry friend’s schedule like my own priority. Safety always comes first for me. I’ll make sure your dog feels comfortable and secure, just like at home. When I'm at your place, I’ll treat it with the same respect I’d want for mine. When your pup stays with me, they’ll enjoy a cozy, safe, and fun place. No messy surprises, no rushing, just genuine love, patience, and a little wagging-tail guarantee.
“Rebecca is super easy to work with--so fast to reply to messages, communicative about any changes, and flexible about changes on my end. She made our first dog-walking experience totally seamless and stress-free!”
About: I have 6 pets at home- 3 dogs and 3 cats. This can be a lot of work, especially considering some of them need more attention than others. This includes a deaf dog, a senior cat with health issues, and other animals that have special needs that need to be met every single day. Caring for animals truly requires a lot of time, patience, and kindness. These are qualities I know I possess and can provide to your animals! Currently, I have a lot of time on my hands. I work a part time job in the afternoon and evenings, and can come pet sit almost any time throughout the week. Though I will be a full time student again in the fall, I still have more than enough opportunities and time for your pets! Having experience in pet sitting I always leave my clients home knowing I did exactly what they asked from me. Whether you need your dogs poop bag in a specific trash bin, or you want me to make sure all your doors are locked before you leave- I will make sure to have it done. I know leaving your pets with someone you don’t know can be a little stressful, so I want to take away from that stress as much as possible. If you have me as a pet sitter, know you can trust me with your fur babies and I will always be leaving your house with every single one of their (and your) needs met.
Lawrence dog parents share their Rover experiences
Michael was great! He showed up right on time, was friendly, and clearly comfortable with Blue. He took him out for a full hour walk and sent updates and photos along the way, which I really appreciated. Blue came back happy and ready to rest. I’ll definitely book Michael again!
I had a fantastic experience with Bhali. She was incredibly warm and patient with Charlie from the very first moment. She took the time to make sure he felt completely comfortable, and it really showed—Charlie was relaxed, happy, and excited after their walk. It’s clear that Bali truly cares about the dogs she works with. I felt totally at ease knowing Charlie was in such kind and capable hands. Highly recommend Bali!
