“We used Eléni for daily waking while we were away. She was so sweet and loving to Jake and helped my mother in law with some medication he needed on his paw. She was punctual and walked him for the full agreed upon time plus more for belly rubs! I highly recommend Eléni and will definitely be using her again when the need arises!”
“Jillian was fantastic with my dog who doesn't always warm to strangers. She's be so happy to see her every day. Jillian was very punctual and communicative. She sent detailed updates every day. I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve always owned a pet. Whether it’s a dog, cat, both at the same time, or fostering pets, I love animals to my core. I can’t live without them, and I love meeting new furry friends everyday! I am currently a student at Lafayette College, although I am commuting, so I will be home every day to take care of your pets! I have my own amazing Yorkshire terrier! She loves our house, as it’s very open and easy to maneuver. We live in an isolated section of Morristown, with incredible walks in the forest right next door! Our house has a backyard, so they can always access the outside easily as well!
About: Hi! I had a Shitzu and a Maltese since I was 1 years old. We had to put down the Shih Tzu because he was losing his eye sight and was 17 years old in dog years. I know.. really sad. Frosty was given to my cousins when I went off to college two years ago. After recovering from losing my lifetime friend (the Shih Tzu, Marbles) I have decided to become a dog sitter for Rover. I also love being around animals so I feel like this would be a great opportunity to do so. I have grown up with cats and dogs and have plenty of experience. I don't discriminate with different breeds and am open for taking care of all kinds. I ensure your furry one is my top priority while dog sitting, boarding, or dog visiting. I prioritize several potty breaks throughout the day and walks/runs if you have any active one. I am available for several check ins/drop in visits throughout the day. I care for the pets in my home as I would my own. :) I dedicate our den space for their dog bed and toys.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life, and have always helped to be their caretaker. In addition, I’ve pet sat / walked for neighbors and friends over the years. I love dogs, whether it be taking them on long walks, playing in the yard, or just relaxing with a good tummy rub! I just graduated from the College of Charleston, and I will be home for a majority of the summer. I am looking for a part time job as well currently. In my home, we have two dogs: 12 year old lab and an 8 month old puppy. We have a fenced yard and we use a crate for the pup. I’m adaptable to any environmental and will follow the guidelines set for your own home. I’m also comfortable staying over if that is needed.
“Emma is a great and caring dog walker! She is always on time and easy to contact in case of any updates or adjustments ! She is reliable and my dog loves seeing her for walks while i’m at work”
About: I’ve had a lifelong passion for animals but and small. Multiple dogs of my own with different temperaments, ages, and medical needs, as well as lots of experience pet sitting, all giving me lots of knowledge and insight about how to best care for your fur babies. It’s hard to be away from them so I’m here to provide the best care I can while you’re gone. I have plenty of availability weekdays and weekends for your pets. As many hours a day/night as you would like I would love to provide. Apartment or house, yard or no yard, your pets are safe with me. I am used to walking my own 100lb dog on leash, as well as doing safety checks on gates and doors to assure security. I’m very detail oriented and follow directions well, so it’s totally up to you how you prefer they be taken out, fed, played with, etc.
About: I have a dog of my own that I got in late 2020. He was a rescue so he started out very shy and distrustful, now Frosty is bursting with energy and has fully come out of his shell. I have also pet sat for my grandmother’s dog and friend’s dogs in recent years. An animal’s wellbeing is my highest priority when they are in my care. I take them out every couple hours if they are antsy and am happy to play, cuddle, and give them my attention. Ultimately, I just love to see tails wagging :) My current full time job is front desk at the Madison Hotel. I would need to give two weeks notice to get time off for long periods of pet care. I can fit shorter visits into my existing schedule most days, I work a variety of shifts, but most frequently 7am-3pm, so my afternoons and evenings are usually very open. While my dog Frosty is very gentle with humans, he is not friendly towards other dogs, so I am unable to host animals in my own home. I can take out your pets for frequent walks or keep them entertained inside, whichever you prefer. My only caveat is that I am asthmatic so I have trouble keeping up with a dog that requires a lot of running or walks around a hilly neighborhood.
About: Hi, I’m Colleen — your go-to sitter for all things paws, purrs, and tail feathers! I’ve spent years pet sitting for friends, family, and clients — from overnight stays in their homes to daily drop-ins. I’ve cared for everything from energetic Golden Doodles and loyal Labs to shy rescue pups, curious cats, and yes… even chickens! My phone is always the one ringing when someone needs a trustworthy, animal-loving sitter — and I love it that way. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and energy levels. I have two dogs of my own — a calm Black Lab and a wild Australian Cattle Dog — so I know firsthand that no two pets are alike, and each one deserves tailored care and attention. Whether you need someone for walks, cuddles, check-ins, or overnight stays, I bring experience, reliability, and a whole lot of love. I also have plenty of references if you’d like them! Let’s set up a time to chat — I’d love to meet your furry (or feathered!) friend. I work full-time for a large medical company, but I’m lucky enough to do it from home — which means I have the flexibility to take frequent breaks for walks, playtime, or check-ins. I’m available Monday through Friday (except Thursdays), with open windows in the mornings, early afternoons, and evenings. On weekends, I’m usually 100% available — day or night! If your pup is friendly with others, I’ve happily hosted pets in my home before, I do have a fenced in yard. That said, I completely understand every dog has different needs and routines, so I’m more than happy to stay in your home and always follow your care instructions to a T.
“Alex was wonderful and took great care of my sweet puppy! She went above and beyond to make sure she ate her lunch. Great communication! She shared lots of cute photos! Definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve had three dogs in my life! A mixed breed, border collie and Bernese mountain dog! My first dog in her later years became blind,diabetic and gained arthritis. Due to this I was taught to give shots, meds and drops (eyes/ears). Each one of my dogs I’ve had since they were 8 weeks old so I know how puppies can be and how much attention they need! I’m currently a community college student so I’m home year round! During the summer I’m available most weeks of the summer! Since I’m home year round I’m constantly taking care of my dogs! My two dogs are wonderful but no very dog friendly so I will be available to go to your house and take care of them.
About: Hi! I’m Lindsey, a lifelong animal lover and trained dog care professional based in Madison, NJ 🐾 I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently care for my 14-year-old Wheaten Terrier, Dexter, who I’ve had for his entire life! :) I’ve also worked in a professional dog daycare and provided dog walking and pet sitting for multiple families—I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments! Whether it’s playtime, a long walk, administering meds, or just keeping your pet company, I bring calm, reliable, loving energy to every visit. I’m trained in safe animal handling and committed to keeping your pet happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I also make sure keep pet parents updated with lots of photos and messages for peace of mind. 😊 Can’t wait to meet your fur baby!! I'm a college student at Fairleigh Dickinson University! I’m available to help you and your furry friend/friends any time and any day with walks, drop in visits, and/or overnight stays! I always make sure every pet in my care feels safe, happy, and loved. When caring for dogs in their home, I’m respectful of the space and always leave it even better than I found it!
“So glad it went so well! She’s always happy after you’ve been here. I’ll be vacationing here and there over the next couple of weeks, not much walking needed. But very like the 21st and/or the 22nd depending on how my grandson’s games go. Are you available on those dates?🤞”

Claire was absolutely amazing! She took care of our two dogs for two weeks and treated them like her own. Super reliable, communicative, and clearly an animal lover. We came home to happy, well-exercised pups and couldn’t be more grateful for the peace of mind she gave us while we were away. Highly recommend Claire to anyone looking for a responsible and caring dog walker!
