“Faith has been incredibly accommodating and flexible during the weather related visit adjustments to the schedule. I have had detailed information on the walks and photos. I would highly recommend Faith as a conscientious and reliable pet sitter. Thank you Faith.”
“I would trust Alyssa with all of my family members! I have a super anxious dog esp with "strangers" in our home. Alyssa takes so much time to get our girl comfortable and on her walk! We would be lost without Alyssa!”
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!
About: Hi, I'm Xiomara and currently live in the Chatham, NJ area. I'm a huge lover of pets and have had many growing up and continuing over the years into adulthood. I currently have one cat at home, who is almost 14 years old and at times help take care of my family's Shih Tzu. Our previous family dog had diabetes, so I have experience administering medication should that be necessary. I love dogs and cats, whether they are young or old equally, and you can trust your pet will get the best treatment from me. I work from home with a pretty flexible schedule, so I'll have time to play with your fur babies and am available any day you may need. My home is smoke free, one level and has just enough space for your pet to run around safely. My cat will also be around to keep them company.
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.
“Linda does a wonderful job walking our two nervous pups. They are unsure of strangers but she gives them time to warm up to her. I feel very comfortable having her walk them. Recommend!”
“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!”
“Madison has been walking Jake, our very active, 60lb collie/heeler mix, for a few weeks now and we are delighted we found her on Rover. She is very dependable and obviously experienced with energetic dogs. Jake loves her, he watches out the window at walk time and charges to the door as soon as he sees Madison coming! We would definitely recommend Madison.”
“Vivian had been an amazing dog walker for my pup. She comes about once a week and is trustworthy and reliable. She send us updates and pictures and we know our dog is in good hands. Our pup tends to be nervous around strangers but we know she is very comfortable with Vivian. I cannot recommend Vivian enough!”
About: I absolutely adore all animals and they are my passion in life. Every animal deserves the very best treatment/care and that is what I give them with every visit. I want nothing but they very best for all animals and will treat your babies like my very own. I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats since I was very young and have both a cat and dog of my own. I’m always on time, extremely reliable, and very loving! My dream in life is to open up my own animal shelter and rescue group. If you are considering hiring someone to care for your pets you’re at the right place because I guarantee you will not find anyone better than me! I have a pretty wide range of availability and will most definitely be available to pet sit/walk for your babies! Please reach out with any questions you may have! **Communication must be clear regarding dates and times and must be in text to avoid any confusion.** Every visit you will receive a picture of your pet and an update on them. I always bring water with me for the dogs I walk and if they seem like they need a break I give them one. I am always paying close attention so they will never eat anything they aren’t supposed to. Like I said I care a lot and want the best for all animals. I will take your dog on long walks and play with them inside and outside. I love playing games like fetch and tug of war and will be sure to give your baby 100% of my attention when I am with them. I currently have a few reoccurring dog walking and pet sitting jobs but I am always looking for more!
“Claire was so great! She responded immediately for a last minute request the next day. Was able to come and meet my dogs beforehand. She also was great with communication :) would definitely recommend!”
“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!”
“I am so incredibly grateful for Hailey. She started walking Gus just last week, and it’s already clear how special she is. Gus absolutely adores her - which says everything. She’s kind, patient, reliable, and genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. She’s also been wonderfully flexible and accommodating, which has meant the world to me. I can’t recommend her highly enough - truly the best dog walker I could have asked for.”
About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes since I was young. I love spending time with our fur friends and making sure they feel safe, loved, and at home, even when you’re away, giving them the attention and comfort they deserve I just returned home from an 8 month contract as a performer in Virginia, so I have LOADS of time to love your fur babies and give them the best care possible! I live with my two cats Goose & Enzo! I’ve had Goose for the last 2 years and recently adopted little Enzo Muffin in October!

Faith did a fabulous job with my dog, Cessie, on one of the coldest weekends in years. She was completely reliable, always arriving when I expected her, yet flexible if a time had to change. She was very good with Cessie and quickly adapted to her specific needs as a recent graduate of a training program. I would recommend her to any pet owner looking for an enthusiastic dog walker.

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?🤞
