Donna was very reliable, caring, communicative and responsible. She is great with animals, even my shy cat warmed up to her very quickly first at our meet and greet and then during my time away. Highly recommend her services, will book her again.

After FaceTiming with Gianna I could immediately tell she had a heart of gold. I also had a last minute hiccup and had to cancel and Gianna was beyond understanding. I’m thankful I found her and hope to use her services in the future. Highly recommend!

Paula was great! I messaged her for a last minute walk less than 24 hours beforehand and she was immediately responsive. Great communication and took lots of pics of my pup!

About: Hello Rover Fam! I'm excited to meet you and your fur babies! About Me: You can call me Tammy! I have over 20 years of experience raising dogs and caring for pets of all ages. Growing up I had up to 8 dogs at one point since my dog had puppies (which I helped deliver). Fast forward to the present, I currently have a 4 year old, 32 lbs. beagle who is my pride and joy. My senior dog passed away last year due to cancer, so I also have experience caring for older pets. I'm particularly focused on healthy routines for my pets making sure they're getting enough exercise and proper nutrients (which is also why I cook my dog's foods). What I Offer: Attentive and loving pet sitting services that prioritize comfort, care, and fun. Whether you're heading out for a day or a week, you can trust that your furry family members will be in safe hands. As a dog mom, I understand the importance of individualized care, and I’m dedicated to making sure your pet feels relaxed, loved, and secure while you're away. Let me keep your pet company while you're away and know that they’ll be treated like family! I'm a remote event planner who has very flexible schedules. This also means that I am very good with detail, time management, and balancing multiple things as one. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine consistent. I maintain their feeding, walking, and medication schedules exactly as instructed, and I make sure your dog feels secure in the comfort of their familiar surroundings. I provide updates, photos, and honest communication so you always know how your pet is doing. Your home is treated with respect and care, just like your pets. No matter where I’m caring for your pet, their safety, happiness, and well-being always come first.

We love Erinn! She has cared for my dog Oliver a few weekends now, and he is the only “stranger” he allows to get near him. She formed a bond with him and makes him comfortable while I have to be away. Very grateful for her!

Blair did a great job attending our two kitties for a 7 day vacation! He dropped by twice a day for 30 minutes- gave the cats food, treats, cleaned their litter and played with them! He was very responsive and sent us pictures and videos of the cats daily. It was my first time leaving my babies, but Blair helped to assuage my guilt of leaving them, by taking care of them so well! I would hire Blair again for our next vacation. Thanks so much Blair!

Mark was just fantastic looking after my boys: communicative, conscientious, and just a true animal lover. He really took the time to get my cats to warm up to him, and just had such a mellow demeanor. Highly recommend him (and will use his services again if you don’t snag him first!).

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I had a golden retriever who sadly passed away 10 years ago and then helped raise and train a collie mix with my parents. After moving out I adopted a dog of my own who needed a lot of behavioral training and patience. I understand what it’s like to have a more difficult pet and am here to help. would love to help care for your dogs like my own. I am unable board your pets in my own home but can pet/house sit at your house or take them on walks regularly I work full time in healthcare Monday-Friday from 8-4 but am available for evening walks. I get major holidays off and am available most weekends to care for your pup as well. I cannot board your dog in my home due to behavioral issues with my own pup however I am able to stay over and care for your pup in the comfortable of their own home. I follow all instructions and guidelines provided to care for your pets appropriately and never allow dogs off leash or to interact with other dogs for safety unless otherwise specified

This was our second time booking Ashley, and once again, she was amazing! It was a weekday visit while I had a doctor’s appointment, and knowing she was with Dalton and Tix gave me so much peace. They’re still getting used to having a sitter, so they barked at first (as usual, they cray-cray!), but within 10 minutes they calmed down—which says a lot! Ashley is always right on time, full of patience, and you can tell she genuinely loves animals. She even sent me pictures during the visit, which totally made my morning. If you’re looking for someone calm, reliable, and incredibly kind with pets, Ashley is it. So grateful to have found her! 🐶💛

About: I grew up with 2-3 dogs and 5-6 cats for most of my life so i know the basics of taking care of both animals. I currently work a 9-5 office job and am looking for something to do on the side. I am free Monday -Friday evenings after 5:30. My home has a gated back yard that I use with my dogs. My yard is a good size and I have a lot of space in the house.

About: Dog lover who wants the occasional companionship of a good boy/girl. I’ve personally cared for large and small dogs, yellow lab/setter/Bichon Frise, And have wanted a dog of my own for awhile. Currently, being new to New Jersey and traveling 1-2 times a month for work, this plan will have to be temporarily put on hold. Lucky for those who need the occasional dog sitter/walker and myself, rover allows both parties to be happy and fulfilled. My house has a small yard, but we have multiple parks within walking distance. I have the ability to work from home when needed, but my availability for the most part will be on the weekends or nights on weekdays. I look forward to meeting as many dogs as possible! I work full-time but work remotely around 50%. Looking after a dog during my remote work days is very easy and I can accommodate most things. Any time my profile is set to available I am working from home I have a fenced in small yard and live within walking distance of multiple parks. We are accommodating of all dog sizes and mobilities. We currently watch a senior dog very frequently and are aware of senior pup needs

About: I have many years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages, including senior dogs, puppies, and dogs with special needs. I'm a good observer of dogs' body language, and will adjust my behavior/level of activity to ensure your dog is as comfortable as possible. I can lift dogs with limited mobility up to 75 lbs. I've completed basic obedience, agility, and pet therapy certifications with my own dogs, so I would be happy to continue whatever training you've initiated with your dog (following basic commands, not pulling on the leash, etc.). I've taken care of up to 8 dogs at once, so I'm comfortable with multi-pet households! I'm flexible and willing to do a walk or a visit on short notice. I'm open to long–term or one–time arrangements. If your dog has any parks or trails that they particularly enjoy visiting, please let me know! I have a very flexible schedule. I'm currently available for walks, visits, and house sitting on weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Mornings, afternoons, and evenings are all fine. I want to know as much about your pet as possible—their quirks, sensitivities, likes and dislikes, favorite treats/toys/activities, etc. Your pet's safety and comfort is my priority. When possible, I prefer to meet your pet in your presence to ensure that introductions go smoothly.

Donna has been absolutely amazing with our animals. She has been communicative and very reliable. My cats love her!! She treats our animals as if they are her own and gives them lots of love! She’s punctual and understood our instructions that we left. She was able to assist with daily medications for 2 of our cats and assist with special dietary restrictions. Would love to have her back the next time we need a sitter 🫶🏼!!

Tammy was absolutely amazing and a life saver! I reached out to her last minute after my parents’ dog sitter cancelled. She responded right away and was eager to help. Tammy watched my parents’ 15 year old Westie for 12 days. She is very loving and responsible, especially with a senior dog. She sent pictures and updates from every visit. My parents and I will be definitely using her again!!! I highly recommend Tammy!
