“Sam took great care of my 2 senior dogs. She came exactly as we arranged and was very communicative. Would ask Sam to take care of my dogs again without hesitation. Thanks Sam!”


“Doris is excellent with my puppy! I was traveling for work and having her walk my dog regularly during the day put me at such ease. She is trustworthy and truly cares for my dog. He got a ton of exercise and was a happy puppy when I got home. Thank you so much, Doris!!!”


“Eleni is an amazing, reliable and caring person who truly love animals. Tucker gets very excited when he sees her and she takes time to ensure he is happy and comfortable ❤️. I highly recommend Eleni!”



“Paola did a great job. She did everything that was requested to look after my cat, Trixie. Trixie would be fine either way so this was more about me and my neuroses. Paola showed up as scheduled to feed and water Trixie. She also sent pics so I could see how Trixie was doing. This is definitely the way to go and Paola was the right choice. Paola was respectful of my home and cat. With Paola’s help, I was able to enjoy my weekend away.”


“Dani was great and sent me pictures and video of my cat. I was very nervous leaving him since he needed insulin administered by needle and an inhaler for his asthma and she was great.”


“Xiomara took such good care of our cats! She sent lots of pictures every day. The cats were clearly happy and cared for. She was also very patient and helpful when my Litter Robot had some tech issues!”


About: I have been taking care of dogs and pets for people since I was in high school. I grew up with dogs and all kinds of different animals. I currently walk some dogs during the week, looking to add some more . I am available for walks and drop ins weekdays from 10:30am-3:00pm I am experienced in giving different medication (pills and insulin). I can easily crate your dog if needed. I also know how to use different walking tools( prong collars, harnesses, gentle leaders)

About: Hi, I’m Jill! For years, I’ve been a devoted companion to animals of all kinds - cats, dogs, birds, guinea pigs, fish, reptiles, and even an axolotl! As a lifelong pet owner, experienced pet sitter, and dog walker, I understand each pet needs personalized care and attention. Whether it’s a puppy or kitten who needs extra engagement or a senior pet who thrives on gentle company, I tailor my care to each animal’s unique needs. My experience includes post-surgery care, as well as oral and injectable medications - all done with a gentle touch and followed up with lots of love and cuddles. Animals have always been part of my life, and I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to provide care for your pet. I pride myself on creating a calm, loving environment so your pet feels safe, secure, and happy. As a full-time school employee, I have early morning and after school availability. In addition, my weekends are flexible. Due to occasional after school meetings, my schedule would need to have a window of one to two hours in which to complete visits. I do not offer pet care in my own home, rather I am looking for the opportunity to visit a pet's home and care for them there.

“Alissa was awesome! I needed someone very last minute and she was very responsive and jumped on the request right away. She spent time with my dog and made us all feel comfortable.”


About: I have a lot of experience with dogs and cats! I love to take dogs out for long walks and give them lots of love I’m available to walk your dogs in the morning and afternoon! I am also available to dog and house sit at your home whenever needed I care for any pet based on the clients instructions. I give them 100% of my attention and love anytime I stay at their place! I also always make sure to send the clients pictures and videos

About: Shepards, terriers, labs, or bullies- whatever your breed, it’s for me! For 9+ years, I have provided dogs with the care they expect and treat them with the love and routines their parent gives them everyday. With your guidance and direction, I offer your dogs the opportunity to run, play, grab toys, and even talk or sing- if that’s their thing. With my tummy rubbing expertise, dogs find themselves quickly spoiled and excited to see me time and time again. I offer running with your dog up to 15 minutes at your dog’s preferred pace. To run, dogs are required to have a chest harness and leash training. Dogs being actively leash trained will be considered. Repeat customers may book outside the Rover App. I am available to walk, drop in, and housesit in the Morristown, Chatham, Summit and, surrounding areas in the mornings and evenings on weekdays and most times on weekends. I work full time in Morristown. I care for pets in your home by utilizing the space they are most familiar with in a way that is comfortable to them. This looks like following your dog’s normal routines around feeding, playing, and relaxing. Additionally, I will respect your home, keeping it clean and secure. I’m known for my compassion, ethics, and going above and beyond.

“Valerie was excellent with our pups and very professional. She showed up on time for every visit and spent quality time with the pups. We have small, anxious dogs and they were very comfortable with her! We will ask for her to come back!”


“We had a fantastic experience with Nicole! This was our first time leaving our cat while we were away, and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after her. She was punctual, very communicative throughout our trip, and clearly took great care of our cat—she seemed happy, relaxed, and well looked after when we got home. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be reaching out again for future trips!”


“Paula was amazing!!! From the moment I met Paula, I knew that she would take great care of my small Yorkie Lola. She was very warm and friendly and had a genuine love for animals. I felt very confident leaving Lola in her care. Paula kept in touch and sent me photos the whole time I was away. She did a great job, and I would definitely recommend her. Thank you, Paula!”


About: I have experience caring for small-medium sized dogs for the past 15 years for neighbors, family members, friends, coworkers, and even my professors! I love taking dogs to play and socialize at dog parks and for long walks around the neighborhood so they can get their daily exercise. I work remotely so i have plenty of time to care for your dog throughout the day as my schedule can be flexible. It’s my therapy! I will make sure that your dog has access to water at all times and food when recommended. Your dog will have all their needs met from long walks outside, good play time, proper training if desired, and many many hugs and kisses. For longer care, I also send daily picture updates of your doggy!

She sent us updates with pics and videos each day and even helped reinforce some training (not begging). We highly recommend Vivian to care for and love your furry family member!”

Leigh took wonderful care of our two senior cats. She was comfortable giving one of our cats his medication twice a day and sent us good notes and pictures each day. Leigh is also just lovely and easy to talk to. From our initial meet and greet, it was clear she cares for animals and "gets" how to approach them. We feel confident leaving our boys in her care and will definitely try to book her again in the future!

For our vacation trip, we needed someone to take care of the cat at home. Heather did an amazing job, came twice a day, took care of everything, and provided pictures after each visit. The kids were happy to see the cat under good hands, which made our vacation worry-free!
