“Peter was excellent with our cat Vader! He was prompt, communicative, and above and beyond helpful. We were very appreciative of his help with our cat while we were on vacation. He gave us piece of mind when he would visit and we can’t thank him enough!”
About: I’ve had both dogs and cats throughout my life and have always taken pride in giving them the best care possible. Over the years, my love for animals has only grown—especially for cats. As I got older, that bond became even stronger, which eventually led me to having four cats of my own, all of whom I love deeply and care for like family. What sets me apart is my genuine connection with animals and my understanding of their unique personalities and needs. Whether it's keeping a shy cat comfortable, giving a senior pet extra patience, or just making sure every little detail is handled with care, I treat every pet as if they were my own. As someone who works from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of free time throughout the day and week to focus on pet care. My remote work is structured in a way that gives me the freedom to plan around pet visits and provide consistent, attentive care. Whether it’s morning check-ins, midday playtime, or evening visits, I’m able to accommodate a variety of needs and make sure your pet gets the time, love, and attention they deserve! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and personality so I can create a calm, secure environment that feels familiar and stress-free. In your home, I respect your space and follow all instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, playtime, or keeping the litter box clean and tidy. I make sure pets feel safe and cared for, and I always keep you updated with regular check-ins and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. At my home, pets have a quiet, cat-friendly space where they can relax without stress or overcrowding. I’m mindful of keeping things clean, secure, and peaceful—especially for more sensitive or shy cats. My goal is always to treat your pet (and your home) with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.
“Maia was fantastic! Gave my kitty all the love, and was super flexible with times. We had a great experience, and I highly recommend her. Was prompt with questions, and sent adorable pics.”
“Wonderful, responsive, and super reliable! Lauren was such a big help while we went away for our wedding! It was a huge relief to know that our cats would be in good hands while we were gone ❤️”
“Jeanne is a consummate professional animal care giver. She's able to administer medication to slick felines and is very conscientious of her duties. She's loving, caring and a joy to work with. 100% would hire again to watch our cat.”
“Lindsey provided excellent care for both Margo and Momo while I was away. She kept me updated at every visit and took ample photos. I would not hesitate to reach out to her for any future pet sitting needs.”
About: I am retired and have recently relocated to northern jersey. I am an avid animal lover. I have always had my own pets. Unfortunately, I had to say goodbye to my fur baby of 13 1/2 years and am not quite ready to adopt at this time but sincerely miss having an animal in my life. I am helping to care for a dear friend’s cat and although truthfully I am more a "dog" person, I now find myself beginning to appreciate "cats”. Cats are really fascinating (and a lot different) than dogs. I believe that I am a person who you can trust with one of your most prized possessions, your "fur-babies". I love walking, so dog walking is a win win!! Drop in visits are also no problem!! Unfortunately. I am unable to offer pet sitting at this time. I love to walk and especially enjoy walking for a furry companion. Home visits for either dogs and cats are also something I enjoy doing. I am currently unavailable for pet sitting. However, I do prefer walking small or medium dogs and will give them the exercise and/or company they need.
“Jenn was great. She met with me before hand to go over everything and was incredibly friendly. She kept me updated on my two cats and sent photos every single time. Love her !”
“Sherry was great with my 2 cats while I was away. She provided detailed, daily updates. She treated my cats like her own. They were in great hands. I highly recommend her to take care of your pets.”
About: Currently living with 2 dogs and 4 cats Taken care of the dogs since they were puppies (11 and 8 years old) Taken care of the cats since they were kittens (2 and 1 years old) I am currently working full time M-F 9-6. I get home around 6:20 everyday. I am free after 6:20. I am also free most weekends. The dogs and cats are separated. I live in a 2 story house and the dogs live downstairs while the cats live upstairs. They do not see each other and are living happily.
“Rebecca was amazing! My cat can be anxious around strangers, and I was super nervous using rover for the first time, but she was so fantastic (with both of us). I couldn’t have asked for someone better. I will definitely be going back to Rebecca anytime I need someone to drop in my cat.”
About: I grew up around many animals, my best friend and I were roommates and I took part in caring for her senior dog during the last few years of his life. Animals are very precious to me, I do everything that I can to ensure their happiness in their time with me!! I currently work hybrid and am in the office on Tues-Wed. My availability at the moment is quite flexible aside from those two days of the week! I do have a stellar Airbnb profile as a guest haha. All jokes aside, I really do respect my environments especially when they’re not mine. I understand the importance of a home and understand it is a privilege to be invited into that space for whatever length of time. I always strive to leave things the same, if not better, than how they were found.
“Natalie was just fantastic! She came over for a meet and greet and my dogs instantly loved her. From the moment she met them I could tell she was a dog person and animal lover. Coordinating a drop in with Natalie was super easy. I really appreciate she was able to take my dogs for a walk with only a few days notice. You can't go wrong with Natalie!”
About: I’ve had dogs & cats my entire life. Your fur baby will be in good hands while you’re away. I am both dependable & reliable I’m currently not working, so my schedule is flexible. I can work around your schedule and I can be there when & if you need me. I currently have two indoor cats. I also have a fenced in yard. There is plenty of room for animals to play & run around.
About: I have had 4 large dogs in my adult life. My last 2 (bother & sister) are now over the bridge. They were trained to the point that they never needed a leash in most situations. I took them wherever I went. We did lots of outdoors. I have property upstate in NY also. Any dog is part of my life, my family. Happiest when they're around I am currently not working after dealing with an illness. However, I'm fine, fit and active. Nothing but time for hanging with any pets. Being without my own, I look forward to sharing my days with them. I have a fenced in yard right on a park with a large pond. Dogs can come & go as they please. I have lots of time to spend with them almost every day. If I have to leave the house I would take them with me.
About: Hi! My name is Maria Camila and I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 6 years of experience caring for dogs and cats.

I understand how important it is to keep your furry friend safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

About: My name is Alejandra and I would be absolutely thrilled to take care of your pets! Not only am I an avid animal lover, but I have years of experience taking care of household pets including (but not limited to) rodents, reptiles, fish, cats, dogs, and insects, as well as farm animals such as pigs, sheep, and chickens. I am the go-to dog sitter for all my friends, who have anything from a sweet senior chihuahua to a young energetic greater Swiss mountain dog, so I am no stranger to the variability of dog behavior and temperament. Under my care, your pets will be treated as my own and their needs will consistently be met without delay. Also, since I lead a rather active lifestyle, it is no problem if your dog requires a more extensive playtime or many walks per day. I will gladly do anything I can do to make your pets feel at home. I work part-time during the week and otherwise have lots of flexibility in my schedule, ensuring that I will be available to meet your pet's needs whatever it is that may be required. I also do frequent parks and outdoor areas and would be more than happy to bring your dog along for enrichment and exercise. I have a fenced yard in which I could allow supervised outdoor time, and one senior cat who lives in my home. She tends to keep to herself and so would not be a problem for any pets who prefer to be alone. I can crate your dog for their comfort as needed and have ample space to accommodate in case they prefer to be in a quiet room away from other family members or the cat.
About: I have had dogs and cats over the years and taken care of many others in addition to my own. I love animals and understand the importance of taking care of animals without spoiling them. I work full time but my hours are flexible and I'mm on a hybrid work schedule. I am available most Mondays all day, Tuesday - Thursday after 4pm and weekends with enough advance notice I do not plan on boarding dogs at this time. I am just signing up for walks but I need to fill out this section to continue
About: I’ve taken care of cats since i was 11 years old. I have had 4 cats throughout my life, so I am very experienced with taking care of them. I would love to help out and care for your kitty’s! I work a full time job, and would love to cat sit in my free time. I am available most weekends, and some nights as well. With my experience dealing with cats i’ve learned to read their body language and ease myself into their space. Once I gain their trust and they seem comfortable I then proceed to provide them with the attention and love their need. I understand cats have boundaries and I never want to make them uncomfortable, letting them know they are safe and comfortable is my biggest priority.

Haley took care of our two cats while we were out of the country, and they were in great hands! She sent us photos often, and we came back to happy and healthy cats. They clearly had a great time with her and warmed up to her fast. We would definitely have her pet sit for us again in the future.
