“Deliris is one of the most sweetest, best person I've ever met. She really loves animals, Sasha loves Deliris very much because she was so lovable to Sasha and treated her so amazing, I will definitely use Deliris services again”
About: Since birth, I grew up around all different kinds of animals. I’ve raised 3 beautiful pit bulls and lab mix while also having the opportunity to dog sit friends pets from Golden Retriever’s to Yorkies. I am currently going to school part-time so I have plenty of free time to watch over your pets! My schedule is very flexible and easy to work around. I have a fenced backyard as well as front yard. I love playing fetch with my dog while also playing tag. After tricks, she loves receiving her treats.
“Jade is hands down the BEST person i’ve booked on rover!!! My cat has so much anxiety when we leave for vacation and she gained his trust so quickly (even better than family members he’s grown up with)! She sent me multiple updates of my baby each day and made me feel like we really left our boy in the right hands. She even got him a little gift before her stay ended!! truly the kind of person you want in your space and taking care of your fur babies! We would be more than grateful if she would watch our baby again! Thanks again jade!! truly one of the most thoughtful humans!!<3”
About: I grew up with Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, and mixed breed dogs. Experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and cats. I'm a former college track athlete, and am happy to take your dog on runs, if requested. I'm a May 2025 MBA grad currently on the job search, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pups! I'm a lifelong animal lover and previously walked and dog-sat through Rover in NYC back in 2021, before relocating to Harrison, NJ. I can never spend too much time with dogs! Available for walks, house sitting, drop-in visits, doggy day care, and cat sitting. Excited to meet your four-legged friend! Also happy to take your dog on a run, if requested.
“Christian is kind and great with my puppy. He’s very communicative and followed the directions I left well. He even gave me great tips on being a first time dog owner.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine love and patience I have for animals. I have experience caring for both playful puppies and senior dogs with special needs. I’m attentive, gentle, and always focused on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy. I’m also familiar with basic training, giving medications, and making sure every pet feels loved like they’re part of the family. Pet care is a big part of my everyday life because of my two dogs, Bobby and Dutch. They’ve taught me the importance of consistency, patience, and being present. My daily routine already includes early morning walks, feeding schedules, cleaning up, and plenty of playtime and cuddles. Caring for them has made me naturally organized and attentive to the needs of other pets. Whether it’s a puppy full of energy or a senior dog needing a slower pace, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and part of the family. Whether caring for pets in my home or my client’s, I prioritize making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their usual routine closely including meals, walks, potty breaks, and playtime while creating a calm, pet-friendly environment. I’m experienced with crate training and can help reinforce good habits, making sure pets feel secure in their space. I’m also comfortable administering medications when needed, carefully following instructions to ensure their health and well-being. I keep everything clean, provide regular updates to owners, and treat every pet like family. Thanks to Bobby and Dutch, I understand the importance of patience, structure, and lots of love in pet care.
“Irisdelie was amazing, great communication and so so wonderful with my cats. Provided great updates with adorable pictures after each visit. I felt very comfortable and happy knowing my babes were being well cared for and loved while I was away.”
“Kayla was absolutely WONDERFUL with our two cats. Our cats are still acclimating to one another, and not only did she spend time with each of them but she did an amazing job at having them play together, listening to them if they had enough, and overall giving them many positive bonding experiences with each other. I also have a much more involved feeding routine/schedule for them than most people, and she followed everything perfectly. I always looked forward to her reports and pictures, and she was very thorough on her stay and how the cats were acting/feeling. I'm 100% sure they will miss her (especially Filo) and I will definitely call on Kayla again in the future!”
“Neide continues to be reliable pet care. I was away for a week and she took good care of my cat, Bob. And plants too. Recommend her to anyone seeking good pet care.”
“Toni was great! My cat, who tends to be shy with new people, loved her. She was punctual, communicated well, and sent lots of pictures and updates while she was watching her.”
About: I always take into account the priorities of the dog owner to ensure that I give the best care to their dog! I want to provide the best care! I am currently in grad school full time and not working, so this will be my only other priority. I can be flexible as long as I have a day's worth of notice I ask detailed questions in order to ensure that I take care of the pets as per the owner's request. That way both of us are on the same page.
“Sasha is AMAZING! She was super responsive before, during, and even after our booking with her. She watched our two cats, and it was the first time we were leaving them alone (one a five month old kitten) for an extended period of time, and we were super anxious about how they would handle us being away. Sasha erased all of our fears and made us feel very comfortable leaving our cats in her care. I would recommend Sasha very highly, and when we go out of town again, we will be re-booking with her for as long as she continues to offer her INCREDIBLE services. Thank you Sasha!!!”
