About: As a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience, being a dog sitter is more than a job—it’s a passion. I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, always treating them like part of the family. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just providing comforting company, I’m dedicated to making every pup feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away! As someone who works from home with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time and attention to give your dog throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just companionship, I’m here to make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. With me, your dog won’t just be looked after—they’ll be part of a calm, happy home. As a dedicated dog sitter living in a spacious, pet-friendly apartment, I offer a safe and comfortable environment where your dog can feel right at home. With plenty of room to play indoors and several great dog parks just a short walk away, your pup will get the exercise, attention, and love they need. Whether it's playtime, cuddle time, or a relaxing stroll, I’m here to give your dog the care they deserve.
“Andrea is doing a wonderful job with my little man, Romeo. She is very attentive to his needs and whenever there a scheduling issue she has no problem changing things around. Lots of purrs and snuggles when I came home, definitely recommend!”
“Jenn was great with Teddy! She was right on time for every visit and Teddy seemed to love her. The updates were great and he seemed completely at ease when we came home. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
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.
About: I love my pets and would do anything for them. They’re not just animals to me—they’re like family. Taking care of them, playing with them, and making sure they’re happy is one of the best parts of my day. I have a bunny and a guinea pig, and I truly love taking care of them. I’m experienced in providing attentive, gentle care and understand the importance of meeting each pet’s unique needs. I treat pets like family and am committed to keeping them happy, safe, and comfortable. When caring for pets in other people’s homes, I always follow the owner’s instructions closely to make sure their pets get exactly what they need. I treat their home with respect by keeping things clean and following any house rules. I spend quality time playing with and caring for the pets so they feel comfortable and happy. I also keep the owner updated with regular messages and photos, and if I notice anything unusual, I contact them right away. My goal is to make sure the pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away.
“I can’t recommend Jeanne enough! She did an absolutely amazing job taking care of my cat while I was away. Not only was Minino well-fed and happy, but I could tell he received a lot of attention and love. I got regular updates and photos, which really put my mind at ease. It’s such a relief to have someone trustworthy and caring looking after your pet. I’ll definitely be booking with Jeanne again in the future!”
About: I treat my dog as if he were my own biological son and I will gladly make sure your furry friends are as comfortable as possible when they’re with me. I have experience with medium to small dogs, old dogs, puppies, and cats with asthma. My love for animals goes so far back that I wrote in my Elementary school year book that my dream job was to be a Dog Walker when I grew up! I work remotely and have the ability to be more present and available for any animal needs throughout the day/week. I can also be flexible and care for them before or after my working hours. I want to keep your little ones on their usual schedule, doing things exactly how you typically do things. I will stick to any snack or food guidelines you have and will happily help with any medications or special needs required. I am very patient and understand that all dogs have different personalities just like us. My hope is that we will have some fun and get some daily exercise at the same time.
“Alyssa was communicative, attentive to detail, and great with my dog. Already booking her again for the next visit.”

“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: 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: I have taken care of dogs since I was very young. I had my dog for 17 years, and he recently has passed. I have experience dog sitting other dogs in my area, and I love going for nice long walks! I currently work full time 8am-4:30pm, but I am available after 4pm every week day! I will be able to walk, feed, play, and stay with your pet during the evening! My job is flexible with me having to leave early if needed! I make sure that I stick to the pets routine, and follow all necessary rules put in place! It’s important to ensure the safety of your pet but also your home.
About: Hi! I'm Eric, and I've been a dog lover all my life, I have experience helping my pets give birth to their offspring and feeding them with formulated milk at their earliest stage, and taking care of them to their senior years. I own two Shih Tzus named Piccolo and Didith. I often go to Van Saun Dog Park to give my own pets and other pet guests some exercise and feel the nature. My utmost priority is the SAFETY and COMFORT of my pet guests. Dog Boarding is overnight or 24hr. Stay. Doggy Day Care drop-offs are around 7-9 am, and pick-ups are around 4-6 pm. I am working online in the comfort of my home so they will not be alone and I will have plenty of time to play with your pups. Whenever I feed my pet guests, I separate them with baby fences, and during their playtime, I watch them closely to avoid any untoward incident.
“Alyssa has been great!! We have her drop in to play with our puppy during the day and She is very reliable and communicative and has taken great care of our puppy. Always on time and responsive. We are so happy to have found her on Rover. Highly recommended”
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.

You should see his backyard, it's a wildlife sanctuary!”
Niki Z.
“Niki is the best thing that happened to my family. Every time she comes over to walk my big 100 pound golden doodle, he is the happiest dog in the world. Niki treats Leo like her own, is always attentive, and is keen with all my special requests with Leo. She understands that every dog walk needs to be tailored from dog to dog, and adjusts to their walking style. She asks lots of questions from the jump to ensure the walk is a personalized experience, and makes sure to treat my Leo with so much love. She is very aware of her surroundings and understands that Leo is not friendly with other dogs. She also is never texting while walking, making sure she is aware of her surroundings in case Leo comes across a bunny, squirrels, etc. She makes my Leo so happy, and if my Leo is happy, I’M HAPPY!”

Not only did she handle my dog’s size and energy effortlessly, but she also made sure he was happy and well-cared for. Alejandra is responsible, attentive, and genuinely loves animals.
