About: I am in my 10th year of working as a dog walker & pet sitter for small local companies, but I am new to Rover. I’m certified in first aid and CPR for dogs and cats. I am also a member of the Association of Professional Pet Sitters. I’m passionate about rescue animals. In addition to my own adopted pets, I’ve fostered dogs and kittens and am involved as a volunteer in transporting adoptable dogs between rescues. I look forward to meeting your pets and providing them with loving care, exercise, & companionship. My full time job as a nurse is on night shift and my schedule varies, so check my calendar! My availability is mostly during the day. I am happy to provide care for your pet to comply with your requests and their preferences. If they’re energetic and like to be active with fast paced walks, great! If they’d rather a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood and check out the smells, that’s fine with me! They like to play fetch in the backyard or just relax with snuggles on the couch? I’ve got it.
About: My family and I have had dogs and cats a part of our family for my entire life. I have had dogs in the family since I was little; and most recently have had the pleasure of three lovely ladies; two of which we have raised from puppies. I can care for dogs both young and old, as well as cats. I also have cats in my family, including some with health issues. My life revolves around my pets, and I’d love for your pets to be a part of that too! I’m working part time currently, as well as completing my high school education, but other than that my schedule is pretty open; specifically in afternoons or weekend mornings! I have crated dog experience, hyper dog experience, older dog experience, big/heavy dog experience, dog and cat interaction experience, and multiple dogs in a household experience.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, geckos, and fish, along with having cats since I was born. I typically have an easy time administering medication whether it be shots or pills, no matter how stubborn the pet! I get along very easily with all animals and I love having the opportunity to take care of them. I’m planning on going back to school in the fall, but I currently have an open, flexible schedule. I’m willing to do morning, afternoon, or night visits. I am open to the earliest wake up calls and late night stop ins- whatever you need! I haven’t had any issues when it comes to bathroom trips, walks, and administering medication. I usually spend some quality time with your pet before leaving to ensure they are happy and healthy before I leave them to you!
About: I grew up on a farm with many types of animals and learned to care for all different disciplines, breeds, and needs of dogs- no breed discrimination here! I took training classes and have trained 7 dogs to be more obedient on walks and have experience in basic commands. All products I use in my house are pet-friendly and organic, and I keep them all locked in cabinets. I am very flexible when it comes to your pet's needs- whether they prefer to stay inside most of the day or they are super active and want to play all day, I will adjust my schedule to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away! If you let me know your fur babies’ schedule, rules, and what they love, and I will make sure you can have a worry-free trip! Pets are my #1 focus during a stay. I am consistently monitoring and engaging to ensure a comfortable and relaxed stay. I also will take tons of photos and send them all your way! I am currently working part time, and I will disclose my work schedule if it overlaps with a stay. My workday is flexible and allows for many free hours in the day! I ensure I am with the pets as much as possible while in my home, or in yours! If the stay is overnight, I follow any house rules and make sure the pets are all comfortable.
“Melissa was so great with our pups! She was flexible with the scheduling and willing to do whatever they needed! Getting pictures of happy dogs while we were gone made me feel so much better leaving them! They were so happy to stay in their home and get to have plenty of stretch time. Melissa was super prompt with responses and super easy to get in touch with! Thank you!”

About: What sets me apart is my flexibility from working at home, my experience with both dogs and cats, and my comfort caring for senior pets, including administering oral medications. I’m reliable, attentive, and always prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I work from home. I schedule early morning and afternoon/evening visits, and I’m home throughout the day to provide attentive boarding and day care for dogs in a calm, safe environment. I care for pets by maintaining their normal routines and giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. In my home, dogs enjoy a quiet neighborhood for walks and a fenced-in backyard for safe play and bathroom breaks. In clients’ homes, I’m respectful, detail-oriented, and focused on keeping pets comfortable, calm, and well cared for.
“Alyssa went above and beyond for Wyatt and I today! Previous walker canceled last minute after I had already left home & she popped right in to save the day! Really appreciate the quick response & the help she provided beyond Wyatt - he was very happy when I got home, so grateful! Thanks Alyssa! We’ll see you soon 😍”

About: I am a Mechanical Engineering student with an Art minor, but my true passion has always been animals. I believe pets deserve the same love, respect, and care as people, and I take that responsibility seriously. I currently care for five of my own pets, including three dogs of different sizes, a cat, and two guinea pigs. I’ve also owned cats in the past, so I have long-term, hands-on experience with both cats and dogs across different life stages and personalities. I have frequently been responsible for their full care independently, including feeding, walking, enrichment, and monitoring health and behavior. One of my dogs has severe anxiety and a pollen allergy, which has given me experience caring for animals with special needs, including close attention to symptoms, environmental triggers, and comfort management. I’m confident in recognizing signs of illness or distress and knowing when to seek veterinary attention. I also gained hands-on experience assisting with my mother’s dog walking business, TheDogWalkerMichele, where I helped care for both dogs and cats. In addition, I have accompanied my girlfriend on multiple pet sitting and dog walking jobs, assisting with feeding, walking, playtime, and general care for dogs, cats, and kittens. I’m especially experienced with anxious or shy animals and have a calm, patient approach that helps pets build trust and feel safe. I’m also confident in basic behavior management and ensuring pets stay both safe and well-behaved during care. As an engineering student, I bring a detail-oriented and responsible mindset to pet care, making sure each animal is cared for thoughtfully, efficiently, and lovingly. During the summer, I work part-time at Rowan University’s Admissions Office for approximately 20-25 hours per week. My shifts are flexible and scheduled between 8 AM and 4 PM, which allows me to plan my pet care availability around my work schedule. I am generally available early mornings, late afternoons, evenings, and overnight stays. I am also open to house sitting during the week, as long as I am able to step out for my scheduled work shifts during the day. I will always communicate my schedule clearly in advance to ensure pets are properly cared for and never left without attention during appropriate times. Outside of my work hours, I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time to walking, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and respectful environment for every pet in my care. In a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect I would my own: following all instructions closely, keeping things clean and organized, and ensuring pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment. My focus is always on the pet’s well-being and routine. I make sure they are fed on schedule, given fresh water, exercised appropriately, and provided with plenty of attention, comfort, and supervision. I am attentive to behavior changes and always prioritize safety, especially for anxious pets or those with special needs. I also understand how important trust is when caring for someone’s pet and home, so I communicate clearly, follow directions carefully, and make sure everything is handled responsibly and consistently.
“Sandy is AMAZING!!!! You can tell she absolutely loves pets and does a wonderful job caring for them. I got photos of my cats playing every day with her and she even stayed later than she had to on some visits. I’m definitely booking with her again!”
“We are so thankful for the all care and time Meghan spent watching over our 3 dogs! As first time Rover users we had no idea what to expect and it was also the first time leaving our puppy for an extended period of time! We loved all the detailed notes we received and Meghan really went above and beyond, as she noticed our puppy was getting a little stir crazy and took her on a walk during one of the drop ins. We felt like we could trust Meghan’s judgement in caring for our pups, thank you SO much!!!”
“Lauren provided amazing service! She was attentive, reliable, and treated my sister's cat with so much care. I felt completely at ease knowing she were in her hands. I will definitely be booking her again.”

Medford Lakes cat parents share their Rover experiences
Heather was excellent. She was kind, professional, and clearly very responsible. She followed all instructions carefully and kept me updated with pictures, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. It’s obvious she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. My cat looked happy and healthy when we came back! I would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter.
