About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 10! I have experience with all different breeds, I even have 5 dogs of my own! All breeds are welcome 🤗 I am currently a fully online student and I control my own schedule. My calender is open for whatever days you need! Please feel free to reach out with any questions! 😊 I will not be able to pet sit in my own home, since I have so many animals. However, I am more than happy to care for your pet in your own home, going on walks, bathing, etc.

About: I’ve grown up with pets, both dogs and cats, my entire life. I house sit for family members with pets and take it upon myself to love and care for them like they are my own. I love to take them on adventures in the car, to walking trails or lakes to engage with them! I currently work a full time job Monday through Friday in office with one day to work from home. I can provide evening and night care, as well as weekends! I can be flexible as well to stop in at nights or early mornings for your pet needs. I am willing and able to house sit and adjust myself for your pet’s schedule and comfort. I have one dog and one cat in my home who are cared for around the clock. I love taking my dog for visits to different state parks or hiking trails!

“We had such a great experience with our Rover sitter! They took wonderful care of our dogs and kept us updated with pictures throughout their walk, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our pups were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We would absolutely book again and definitely recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring for their pets!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for shy, timid pets who need gentle reassurance. I’ve fostered 60+ rescue dogs and have years of experience helping anxious pups feel safe, calm, and cared for. My focus is overnight, in-home sitting so your pets can stay in their normal routine—sleeping in their own beds, in the place they feel most comfortable (no boarding stress). I am happy to send photos and updates of your pets while you're away so you can enjoy your travels knowing they are safe, happy, and receiving plenty of love. While you’re away, I also treat your home with respect and care: bringing in mail/packages, rotating lights, watering plants, and keeping things tidy. Expect reliable communication, photo updates, and calm, steady care—walks, playtime, enrichment, snuggles, and support for separation anxiety/routines. I work full time for a nonprofit with some remote work flexibly as needed. My schedule is an 8 hr work day and start and end times can be adjusted as needed. I am experienced with crate training, basic obedience, special diets, walking, mental stimulation and calming techniques and lots of love, affection and snuggles. Services can be modified for the specific needs of your dog(s) or cat(s).

“Jillian was fantastic with my dog, who loved her and didn’t want to say goodbye. Jillian is very professional.”

About: I love taking care of animals. Animal energy is something I love having in my life. I have had dogs and cats since I was born. Now I have my very own Border Collie named Iris who I love with all my heart. I was always interested in animal care bathing walking cooking my own dog special food. I recently made the decision to leave my place of employment after 25 years. So now I can commit to animal care as much or as little as I can. I don't have a routine yet but hopefully I will establish one soon. I have done numerous overnights with up to 4 dogs. I ask the owners for a printed copy of each dogs habits, routine and exercise preferences. Also if the dog has any leash or food aggression.

About: I will give your dog(s) my undivided attention. They will be fed and taken for walks. I will engage with them throughout the day, as I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I will care for them just like they were my own pet. Being a dog owner myself, I understand how much they mean to their families. In case of an emergency at home or work, I will provide the necessary care for your dogs. I have a unique bond with every dog I meet and truly enjoy their company, ensuring they receive plenty of affection. In the past, I have cared for my family's dogs, feeding and walking them nearly every day. I am knowledgeable about how to handle dogs safely. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to dog-sit and walk the dogs entrusted to my care. Pet caring is one of my passion because they bring so much joy to our lives. With this being said after work I do appreciate the love my fur babies give me. I love to play and run with fur babies and I also get my weekly exercise in! I have a yard that they can run freely in. They will have access to my balcony for when they need cooling and some quiet.

“First, I've never used this type of service before. Alissa was accommodating, attentive, prompt and very caring for my dog, Lilly. If Alissa is the standard of the type of people that will care for my dog, I would use this service again, without a doubt. And, I wouldn't hesitate in booking Alissa, and recommending her to everyone.”

About: I have been house sitting since I was 14 years old. From homes with 2 large puppies to homes with 4 dogs and 7 cats ranging in ages. I love animals and spend a lot of time working with animals with my sister who is Veterinarian. I am a full time nursing student with a full time job. I am completely available for your pet sitting needs from Friday through Monday. Your pets will have my complete attention when in my care. Not only will I tend to their needs, I will play with them, and show them love.

About: I've taken care of dogs for my friends and family for over 10 years. My sister, my bosses and different friends all trust me for a few reasons. First, I love animals and have a good rapport with them. Second, I am clean and keep my word when I agree to show up at a certain time. People recognize this and trust me to show up. Lastly, I am a calm person who brings a tranquil energy. Each animal has their own personality which I respect and learn to work with, and some have more challenging behaviors then others. Some are not good with other dogs or cats, some aren't good with kids, some are timid and need a lot of warming up to and some are pretty much good with everyone. I have worked with animals who have their own quirks and special needs (like medicines at meal times). I have been a traveler for many years, so house sitting/pet sitting for friends around the country has become a part of my life. These days I run a business that has been picking up, so I am not always available, but I keep my calendar open incase I can work it out to spend time with some animals. I currently work several jobs and try to fit Rover requests in when I get them. My girlfriend suggested Rover because she's noticed when I pet sit for people, I really love being around the animals. We can't have animals where we rent so this is a fun and rewarding job. I can be strict or loose with animals depending on what the owners perfer. I've worked with pets who owners never really train the animals, they just love them to bits. I've also worked with pets who have a more strict approach. I enjoy working with all situations! In the past I lived in my friends house while they were away; they left me a lot of notes on how to care for, feed, walk, give medicine to their 4 animals and watering dozens of house plants. It was a great time. Since joining Rover I've met some great animals, and even though I have a busy work life, I keep my profile open because I really enjoy animals and hope to meet more through here when I can.

“My dog instantly loved her I was nervous as this was my first time and she kindly sent me pictures and texted me that everything was going well.”

About: I have taken care of close friends and families pets for years and I have decided to expand and see if anyone else needs care for their animals! I have plenty of experience working with animals. I started out as a farm aid at Turtleback zoo a couple years ago and left to go work with marine mammals in Florida. When I came back to NJ I went to Cape May and worked as a full time seasonal animal keeper. After my 6 months were up I went back to Turtleback zoo as a Relief Keeper. I left the zoo field December 2021 and started working part time at a local vet clinic where I work with all size dogs and cats. I know how to give medications also if your dog or cat have any special needs! I currently work full time, first shift for a laboratory. I also work part time at a vets office but when I am dog sitting I do not just do that your pets have more of my attention and are my priority. If I were to stay at your house I can walk your dog around your neighborhood or take them on local hiking trails! Whatever works best! I am here to care for your animals just as I would my own. My dogs Cooper and Ginger are very spoiled and I can guarantee yours will be also! Depending on the needs of your pet will be the deciding factor of our daily routine. We can talk about that more in details if you decide to message me! I have two mini dachshunds that are friendly and love to walk/hike! If your dog is friendly and adventurous I would bring them along for the fun!

“Isabella came on super short notice and did a great job with my Rottweiler mix. She even came over within a couples hours of booking to meet and greet prior to the appointment. Thank you!”
