“Jenniffer was wonderful and took amazing care of my three kitties! She was very diligent in giving Clyde his medicine every day, even when he wasn’t very cooperative. She took care of everything, played with them, and treated them like they were her own. She sent lots of pictures and videos, communicated with me every day, and even let me know when the house got chilly so we could turn on the heat. I can’t recommend her highly enough, and I know they will be in great hands the next time we go away!”


“maribeth is amazing! samoas was so excited to see her and absolutely loved their walk around the development. she does a great job staying in touch and providing updates throughout the visit. i highly recommend her if you ever need a sitter, especially for last minute help!”

About: I’ve taken care of 5 family dogs from puppyhood to later stages of life as well as dog sat for family friends and other family members. I currently work full time but I get home around 3pm most days. I normally get home and take my puppy Robin on a two mile walk and run. I care for Robin with a fenced in small yard and using the crate for when me and my fiancée are out. I would take care of your dog in whichever way you need.
“Allison was an excellent sitter! She spent extra time to get to know Gio and communicated with us timely and thoroughly. I would ask her again when we need to. Thank you!!”

“We have used Jamie several times now as a sitter for our 2 cats and she always does a wonderful job! The cats are always happy, healthy, and well taken care of upon our returns. Jamie also follows all care directions meticulously which is a big relief when we need to be out of town. Thank you Jamie!”

“Excellent and so very responsive to scheduling. What a relief to have Dina take care of my pups. They love her visits and get a good run in the middle of the day. Highly recommend Dina.👍”

“Brittany started doing drop in visits for me today. She was fantastic. My dogs are very barky but she seemed to handle it very well and got them very calm to go out and do their business. Everything was perfect. Thank you !”
“Julie is amazing and really helped us out last minute when we needed it. Takes great care of our dogs all while on a freezing cold night! We really appreciate how helpful she has been.”

“Taylor is very reliable, caring, and thorough, she took care of our cat as if she was her own. Her love for my cat is evident in every visit, and her attention to detail gave us complete peace of mind. Couldn't be happier!”

About: I have experience with small and medium-sized breeds, such as my parent’s dog, Enzo, who is a havashu, as well as my current dog, Robin, a 60 lb. boxer with high energy.

My fiancé, Vin, is available from 3:30pm and later during the week, as well as weekends any time as well.

“Bianca was amazing, always kept in contact with me and was so helpful! I was nervous as a first time Rover user but she made it a great experience, and my puppy Lucy loved her 🥰”

About: I’ve worked at dog daycare and boarding facility and now spend all my free time volunteering at Middletown humane society in Petco.

Always down to drive your fur baby to Starbucks for a pup cup I can take your dog on a run or a walk depending on their mobility, and can play fetch or tug-of-war for hours in the clients fenced in background. I’m always down to cuddle and give belly rubs and make my own homemade dog treats. Always down for a car ride to Starbucks for a pup treat.
“everything went exceptionally well with Kevin taking care of Darla and River. Kevin was punctual, followed instructions that were left and interacted with the dogs extremely well. I give him 5 STARS and will use him when his services are required in the future.”
“Thank you so much! Nicholas went above and beyond for Harvey and even took him out to play with his favorite ball! Your attention to detail doesn’t go unnoticed! Thank you again!”

“Dawn was the best! Sent comprehensive notes at every visit and updated us with photos. We have a senior cat that we didn’t want to uproot from home, Dawn visited him 2x/day and spent time with him to make sure he was okay. We are so lucky to have found her!”

About: Hi, I’m Lauren! I was a proud dog mom to two amazing girl dogs until recently, and I truly miss the joy of caring for a dog. While my family isn’t ready to have another of our own just yet, I’d love to help others by spending time with their furry family members. When I was young, I worked as a Seeing Eye Dog trainer, which gave me years of experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable with everything from playful puppies to older companions who just want a calm walk and a cuddle. Whether you need drop-ins, walks, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your pup feels loved, safe, and right at home while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule. Typcailly I work from home on Wednesdays and always Fridays. On the work from home days, I don't start until 10AM so I am free in the mornings and will take my lunch for the afternoon walks. In our home, we have an enclosed deck. Gate if needed to avoid the stairs. Nothing on the ground to chew. Pet free home. In other homes, I am always wondering where the pup is. I ensure to keep a close eye if they tend to be a trouble maker.
About: My husband and I both grew up with several dogs in our homes as children, and while we have no children of our own, our fur baby is a ten month old Shih-Poo, whose name is "Reesie". Reesie is the sweetest boy, who loves to cuddle, play, and run outside in the dog park! I'm currently a stay at home fur mom, and typically take our pup for walks every few hours! My husband and I take him to a park several nights a week after dinner to allow him time to exercise and play! There is a fenced in dog park here at our apartment complex, and we are willing to adapt to your pup's needs if a crate is necessary.
About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes and cats of all temperament (; I am available Mondays & Fridays, and after 5:30pm Tues-Thurs (Rover does not yet allow for sitters to block specific time windows.) I have grown up with pets and have been a volunteer at an animal shelter for over a year. I truly love all animals and am happy to offer safe, reliable care for your pet! I am based in Keyport, NJ and am more likely to be able to accommodate short notice requests close by. Please message with any questions! I currently offer care in YOUR home due to my lease agreement. I am very friendly and dogs really love my high pitched voice lol!

Jenniffer was absolutely wonderful! She kept in constant communication, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog, Gracie, in her care, and it was such a relief knowing my baby was safe, happy, and well taken care of during my vacation. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!

Brittany was always prompt with communication and very punctual. She took great care of our dog during a one-hour visit and made sure he got his daily walk. It was our first time using a drop-in service, and it set a high bar. We hope Brittany is available next time! I especially appreciate her updates after each visit, including photos.
Elizabeth has been caring for my puppy and doing an amazing job, she is reliable and professional and has demonstrated a lot of patience for my me English bulldog who is very stubborn breed. Elizabeth is very good with her and just a nice person. Thank you Elizabeth.

We are so thrilled to have found Allison to take care of our furry family member. She went above and beyond for our boy, spending extra time with him and was very attentive to his needs. She sent lots of photos and her visit summary was detailed and made us feel so at ease. We were able to really enjoy our vacation, worry free! We will definitely be reaching out to her in the future!!
