About: Hi, my name is Grace and I’m happy to be back in the Garden State! Although my "day job" as a marketing manager for a local university is a lot of fun, spending time with animals is what brings me true joy. I work from home, so if your pet needs care at any point during the day, I’m your gal. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! I work from home, so my schedule is flexible! I will occasionally have to go into the office, but that will be indicated on my calendar. I will absolutely follow your lead. I want to make sure your pet feels the utmost comfort and safety when around me. If that means extra cuddle time, fine by me. If they want space, that's okay too. I never want you to worry when you're away from your fur baby!

“Millie loved her visits with Sarah! Sarah took excellent care of Millie with multiple visits each day, walks, and playtime. We knew Millie was in great hands with Sarah and we highly recommend her!”


“Anastasia is always a pleasure to work with. She is incredibly communicative and responsive throughout, which gives us so much peace of mind. Stella came back happy and well-exercised after her walk. You can tell Anastasia genuinely loves animals—she’s not only reliable but also such a kind and lovely person. Highly recommend!”


“Hadija has been great! She has been so good to our boys and has been so helpful with some of our crazy and unexpected schedule changes. She was very thorough in caring for our guys!”


About: Does your dog bark at invisible intruders, get the zoomies at random times of the day, or act like you’ve abandoned them forever when you leave for 5 minutes? Same. I’m Amber—a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to an Italian Greyhound who keeps me laughing (and on my toes) every single day. Dogs tend to warm up to me quickly because I meet them right where they are at. I know first hand what it’s like to care for dogs with big personalities, and I have a knack for helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m the fun human friend your pup never knew they needed. I’ll be their hype woman, adventure buddy, and professional snuggle supplier while you’re away. I’m just getting started on Rover, so please give me a chance to show you and your pup how much care, patience, and fun I bring to every walk, playtime, and cuddle session. LOOK NO FURTHER—IF DOGS COULD SWIPE RIGHT, I’D BE A MATCH. I’m an early riser, I start my day around 5 a.m. My work hours are 7 to 3, but I’m flexible with breaks and doggy pit stops whenever needed. When off the clock, I’m either adventuring with my sidekick or chilling at home. No kiddos or partner so I have plenty of flexibility and free time to give your pup all the love and attention they deserve. When caring for pets, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness whether I’m at their home or mine. In their own space, I follow their usual routines as closely as possible—feeding, walking, playtime, and any special needs they have—to help them feel secure and relaxed. If pets come to my home, I create a calm, welcoming environment with plenty of toys, cozy spots to rest, and lots of attention to make them feel right at home. I always communicate with owners to understand their pet’s personality, preferences, and any health or behavior concerns so I can tailor my care to each pet..

“Thank you Mika for taking care of our boys! They are very needy and you handled them wonderfully. Thank you for being so accommodating and we look forward to booking with you again in the future if you would like.😊”


About: What Makes Your Pup's Day Special! 🐕 Personal Adventure Time - Every dog gets their own customized experience, whether that's exploring new trails for the energetic labs or gentle neighborhood strolls for the senior sweethearts 🏠 Home Away From Home - Your dog stays in my cozy, dog proofed space with comfy beds, interactive toys, and a secure backyard for playtime and potty breaks 📱 Real Time Updates - You'll get photos and videos throughout the day so you can see your pup's adventures and know they're having a blast 🎾 Enrichment Activities - Beyond basic care, I provide mental stimulation through puzzle toys, training reinforcement, and socialization with other friendly dogs (if your pup enjoys it) My Promise to You: - Emergency vet contact and pet insurance knowledge - Medication administration experience - Flexible pickup/drop-off times - Detailed daily reports about eating, bathroom habits, and mood - Genuine love and attention for your furry family member Available Services: - Overnight boarding in my home - Daily dog walking adventures - Midday potty breaks and feeding - Weekend getaway care I became a dog sitter because I believe every dog deserves to feel loved and excited about life, even when their favorite humans aren't around. pet care isn't just something I squeeze into my schedule, it IS my schedule. 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.

“Frida was great! She watched our cats for over a week, they tend to be shy but warmed up to her and let her pet and play with them by the end. We appreciated the updates and photos she shared as well :)”


“Amazing! Our doggies loved him. He took extra care and truly altered his schedule to surround our dogs at the center of it. Consistently responsive, and let us know of every single detail which was most appreciative. Excited to book him again!”


“Yana took good care of our boy while we were away. I enjoyed seeing the photos she sent and hearing the updates of each visit. She communicated well while we were gone and made us feel at ease while we were gone.”


“Laura was absolutely great!! She took the effort to meet me a few times prior, so we could practice and learn how to do my cat's inhaler therapy and she was able to consistently do it for him this time! Very very pleased with the outcome!”


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 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’m a lifelong dog lover — my family has always had dogs, and I’m used to taking care of them. I recently looked after a friend’s dogs while his family was away for weeks, so you can trust me to keep your pup happy and well-cared-for! I normally for in the morning at my normal job and am available most days after 2:30 and I and available most of the week I would care for pets by giving them walks, treats, and feed them if asked of me. I would take care of the pet as it was mine

About: I have babysat many dogs, have had many family dogs, and would love to have one of my own one day if time allows! In the meantime would love to take care of yours 🙂 I work a hybrid schedule, and am available Friday - ‘ Mondays only. Morning and evenings work best, which also is great for pets who need to get their energy up for the day or to get energy out before end of night! I am more than happy to assist with crating, feeding, and ensuring water is filled for animals to make sure they have a comfortable day at home.

About: I was a volunteer at the DFW animal shelter before moving here. I have 2 dogs - one is 6 years and old and the other is 2. I love animals so much and will make sure every fur baby is taken care of and loved! 🩵 I work from home but control my schedule. Mornings and afternoons are very easy for me- and I can adjust my schedule as needed! I'm also rather active and can take pets on long walks/runs if wanted! I will make sure they go on long walks, fed according to your instructions, and will give them all the pets! From volunteering and raising my puppy, I am not shy to jumping. Im also very accustomed to small and large dogs!

“Alice was great with my kitties! She fed them and changed their litter boxes and played with them too. Even my shy kitty was playing!

She has a natural way with pets, always patient, gentle, and genuinely attentive to their needs. Whether it's taking the time for a long walk, giving belly rubs, or making sure pets feel safe and loved when their owners are away, Caity goes above and beyond. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to leave my dog in her care, and any pet would be lucky to have her looking after them.”
