About: Been around dogs my entire life and when I was in high school I got one of my own. A beautiful German Shepherd I named Rocky, who stole my heart. His energy was always high and puppy like, but he was well behaved and calm when it was time to be. He has recently passed, but he lives on in my heart. I raised him on my own from a pup through potty training, chewing, and walking on leash. He would respond to basic and advanced commands also able to walk off leash without running off. I have recent experience with senior care just having gone through caring for a sick and elderly dog. He was around 95 pounds and I was able to help him get around, I’m capable to assist any elderly dog however they might need it. Started my own personal training business, but most people are available after normal business hours. So that leaves me free with large breaks during the day which would be perfect for me to baby sit while their owner is working. My schedule is mostly flexible, allowing for long walks and supervised relaxing, but if any type of emergency were to come up, my partner works from home to administer care and constant love so don't be worried your pet will never be alone. We have a house with a fenced in yard. We can walk, play or just hangout. I like to go on a walk first to make sure your dog is comfortable with me, and I will do whatever is possible to make sure your dog is loved how you would love them. If they’re comfortable using a crate I can provide them with one and a soft bed. I have dog bowls for water and will feed them as often as you prefer. Your pet will be physically and mentally simulated making sure they don’t get bored and are always having fun.

I've structured my work and personal life around providing excellent care. My mornings start early with dog walks before the day gets busy. I work flexible hours so I can accommodate different pickup times and give each dog proper attention throughout the day. Weekends are often my busiest times for overnight stays, which works perfectly since I prefer spending my weekends hanging out with dogs anyway. I've found that caring for pets actually improves my own routine, it keeps me active, gives structure to my days, and provides the kind of unconditional companionship that makes every day better. In My Home Your dog becomes part of my daily routine from the moment they arrive. I start each morning with a good walk and breakfast, then we settle into a comfortable rhythm. I work from home, so your pup gets constant companionship and attention throughout the day. They have access to my living room and kitchen areas, plus a secure backyard for supervised play and bathroom breaks. Evenings include another good walk, dinner, and plenty of couch time if they're cuddlers. I keep detailed notes about their eating, bathroom habits, and any quirks I notice to share with you. In Your Home I treat your space with complete respect while keeping your dog's routine as normal as possible. I follow your feeding schedule, walking routes, and house rules exactly. Your pup gets the same level of attention and care, but in their familiar environment with all their favorite spots and toys. I also take care of basic house tasks like bringing in mail and watering plants if needed.

About: I am a reliable and trustworthy pet caregiver who always shows up on time and follows through with every commitment.

I carefully monitor their behavior, needs, and surroundings so they feel comfortable, secure, and properly cared for.

About: Animals have always been at the center of my life. I share my home with four cats (three traveled with me from Ukraine and one rescued from Houston) and a Bernese Mountain Dog who’s training to become a certified therapy dog. I work remotely, so I’m home all day and able to give pets constant attention. Before moving to the U.S., I co-founded an adoption center in Ukraine dedicated to rescuing and rehoming critically ill stray cats. I’ve completed multiple courses in animal behavior and publish freelance articles about the latest research in pet care. My dog has completed four manners courses and holds all his certificates, and I create human-grade treats in a professional dehydrator (and planning to start a business), so my furry guests are welcome to sample them if they have no allergies. We have a spacious home with a fenced yard, two guest rooms to separate our furry guests if needed, and a pool for supervised dog play. I work remotely only a few hours a day, so I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I’m also very physically active, ensuring your furry friend will never be bored. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment and keep routines consistent to reduce stress. In my home or yours, I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, maintain secure doors and gates, and use positive reinforcement for safe play. I keep food, water, and litter areas clean and monitor pets closely during walks or outdoor time.

About: I have taken care of all sorts of animals, from yorkies to labradors and a ten year old cat! I will be sure to listen to your pet’s every need. I am new to Rover, but I am looking forward to meeting your animal! I am a very active individual and can help your best friend get all of their energy out. I can go on walks up to 2 hours. I am an avid runner so if your dog loves to go a little faster, I can keep up! I have helped clicker train a puppy, and I have hid pills in cheese before and made sure they weren’t spit out! I work full-time 8am to 5pm, so I have availability in the early morning or after work. I get an hour lunch in Somerset so I can drop in or do walks during my break. I am free most weekends, and I update my calendar as soon as I am aware I am unavailable. I have a semi-unpredictable schedule, so I cannot take any repeat requests. I would love to spend multiple hours walking or just hanging out with your pet! I do not have the ability to have pets in my apartment, so I am not able to board any animals in my own home.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 16 years, including having 4 cats of my own, 2 dogs, and few fosters! I’m comfortable administering medications and following detailed care routines. I work in human healthcare, so I’m attentive, dependable, and take health and safety seriously. I currently have two very spoiled cats, Max and Toby, and I truly treat every pet like they’re my own. I love getting to know each animal’s personality and making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I currently work Wednesday through Saturday, so my availability is more limited on those days. I’m most available on Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays. That said, I’m sometimes able to accommodate visits on workdays depending on the time, so it never hurts to ask! I do best with about a week’s notice for new requests, but I’m always happy to try to help with last-minute needs when I can, even if availability isn’t guaranteed. I take safety and trust very seriously when caring for pets in their own home. I always follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any special routines your pet is used to. I make sure doors and gates are secure, leashes are used properly, and your pet is supervised and comfortable at all times. Because I work in healthcare, I’m used to being detail-oriented, respectful of others’ homes, and attentive to changes in behavior or health. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Ruby takes such good care of our Golden Retriever puppy. She’s always on time and gives detailed updates about how the walks go. Ruby is kind, easy to communicate with, and we know our pup is in great hands while we’re at work!”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I bring to every dog I work with. I'm very patient, detailed-oriented, and naturally nurturing, so I take the time to understand each dogs personality, routine and comfort needs. Whether it's making an anxious pup feel safe or keeping an energetic dog engaged, I adjust to them- not the other way around. I treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel calm, loved, and well cared for while your away. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I keep a structures and organized schedule. I'm able to plan my days around walks, feedings, and check-ins to ensure each dog gets consistent, reliable care. I provide care in my client's home so pets stay comfortable in their own space. I follow their routine and make sure they feel safe, loved and well cared for.

About: Hi! I'm Jenna :) I've had a love for animals for as long as I can remember and have several years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. I previously lived and helped care for my sister's baby (my nephew hehe), Blu (a pit bull), and two sassy little kittens. I'm currently in college and can't wait to have a little animal family of my own someday, but for now I truly love pet sitting and would be so grateful to care for your pets like they're my own. I'm especially comfortable with big + high energy dogs, but I truly love dogs of all sizes (I regularly take care of my friend's chihuahua too!). Blu has separation anxiety and is reactive so I'm very used to being patient, attentive, and aware of triggers to keep walks and interactions safe. I also have an athletic background and am confident when handling strong dogs, even during training/high energy moments. I help reinforce basic training like leash walking, heel, and recall during walks. I love staying active with dogs and making sure they feel comfy, safe and cared for while you're away. + I'll always keep you updated with photos and check-ins!! I have a flexible schedule and can plan my days around the pets I’m caring for. I’m available for overnight stays, drop-ins, and walks, and I prioritize sticking to each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable. I just ask for at least 4 days’ notice for bookings so I can plan accordingly and give your pet the best care possible. I provide care in my client’s home and make sure to follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable in their own environment. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, walks, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m very attentive and experienced with high-energy, anxious, and reactive dogs, so I’m always aware of my surroundings and keep walks safe and controlled. I also have experience babysitting, so I’m very respectful of others’ homes and comfortable with light housekeeping if needed. I make sure doors, leashes, and spaces are always secure, and I’ll keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.

“Alex was great and very flexible! I would use him again definitely!”

About: I have always been around cats and dogs my whole life and have taken care of both before. I love being able to bond with a pet! Hi there! I am new to NJ as I just moved from VA. I work hybrid 9-5 Mon-Fri, and my days in person vary every week, so my availability depends on my job! I am available on weekends- time doesn't really matter for me unless I have something planned but letting me know ahead of time works best! In my home with my cat I always make sure he's fed with a clean box and tons of pets ready for him when he isn't asleep and many toys for him that he loves. The same goes for anyone else's pet I am responsible for!

About: I have 20yrs of dog/cat sitting experience. Gives great belly rubs. Age of animal is not a problem, I can run 3 miles with your high energy puppy or just give belly rubs to your senior dog for 3 hours. I travel around the country working as an engineer. Since I travel so much it is hard to have a pet of my own. I do pet sitting so I get the joy of interacting with animals. When I am pet sitting I make sure the animal is enjoying their time with me by playing with them or giving them belly rubs.

About: I have a passion for working with dogs and helping them and their humans have the best possible relationship. Regardless of your pup’s age, personality, medical (or other) needs, I’m happy to step up and be a positive part of their day. I’m lucky enough to have a very open schedule during the summer, especially during the day. That means I’m super flexible and willing to work with whatever your scheduling needs are! The love and compassion that you have for your pup is being passed into good hands. Your pup will thank you for entrusting them to my care!

“My favorite dog walker and my dogs favorite too Thanks for Selena. She has been so helpful that I hope she can keep walking Avi for a long time. Susan Brown”
