About: I genuinely love caring for animals—it’s something I truly enjoy! With 3 years of experience, I’ve provided dependable, compassionate care for both dogs and cats of all ages. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and ability to adapt to each pet’s unique needs. I’ve worked with energetic puppies, mellow senior pets, and everything in between. Whether it’s walks, playtime, medication, or overnight stays, I treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet care fits perfectly into my weekends, which are fully open for walks. On weekdays, I’m available after 5:30 PM for special cases or evening care. I’m happy to work with pet parents to find a schedule that meets their needs! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in the client’s, their safety and comfort always come first. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs they may have. I keep a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment, and I closely follow any instructions provided by the owner. I also give regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident and connected while they’re away.
About: I’m an animal loving lady! I’ve grown up always having animals of all sizes and breeds. I will treat your animal as if they’re my own, and reassure them they’re safe and will be happy while you’re gone. They’re 100% in good hands with me. My children have grown to love animals as I have and I think that’s important for them both to be around other animals, to teach them not to be afraid and help learn to care for them. We don’t mind watching any pet(s) They will love it here. I promise. Im currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your animals! I’m available for boarding on weekdays and weekdays after 3pm. We can go on daily walks, snd hourly potty times. My kids will help me love on your pets with my supervision of course. We’re great at keeping a routine if needed or going with the flow too. We’re super flexible.
“Isabelle was fantastic! Took the job last second when original plans fell through and left me in a bind while being out of town. Isabelle provided photos and status updates for each walk. Being a 1st time Rover user, I was nervous, but Isabelle made me feel like my dog was completely taken care of and helped ease my mind. Would 100% recommend her and I will rebook with her in the future when needed. THANK YOU AND GREAT JOB ISABELLE!”
“Kyla has been wonderful to work with! Our energetic pup has lots of rules after training and Kyla was very open to learning our expectations for him. She already has been perpetuating his training. She has our dog walking right next to her like he does with us. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats for as long as I remember. Currently I have one cat and two dogs, raising my youngest pup since she was 4 months old. I’ve been able to train her for sit, lay down, and leave it commands, kennel training, and potty training. One of my older dogs, Cookie, is blind and I help him take potty breaks and navigate our home. I even have experience working at a doggy daycare/boarding facility, along with basic grooming which includes bathing, trimming nails, and blow drying. I look forward to hopefully meeting you and your furry friends! My schedule is fairly open as I currently stay at home while my partner works full time. I am more than happy to add taking care of your four legged pals alongside my own! Making sure to stick to their regular routine to decrease stress for both them and you as their pet parent. I will be more than happy to do what is needed to keep them comfortable and happy.
About: I have been a dog lover my entire life. I am known as the dog whisperer. It' is rumored amongst pets of the existence of a dog petter who has the most loving energy. Many dogs only believe it to be legend. It is a real live person. It is me the dog whisperer. I have experience walking, administering meds through mouth and providing exercise and treats. There is no pet to big or small. I love them all. I have a rather flexible schedule due to working online. Only times I am not available when traveling for business as host for a travel group. I care for pets to the instructions of the pet owner. I know most dogs that are properly cared for require a lot of attention and prefer to be in the company of someone. I enjoy the company and love to give quality time to dogs. Such as playing fetch tug a war or long walks.
About: I have spent the last seven years providing dedicated animal care, and my love for animals has been a lifelong passion ever since I was young. My guarantee is your babies will be spoiled, ensuring they get all the love, personalized attention, and experienced care they deserve! With 7 years of professional animal care experience, pet care is an addiction at this point and is a dedicated part of my daily routine as I also own two Doberman Pinchers Bella and Zoey. I will make sure your baby(s), under my care will receive plenty of love featuring pets, kisses, hugs, butt scratches, neck scratches, attention, playtime (AKA:hide and seek), etc! Trust from my clients is what really matters to me the most! When caring for pets in your home, I follow your routines to ensure a reliable, stress-free, and comfortable environment while you're away. At anytime if I'm unsure about something, I will always verify with the owner to make sure there is always a constant connection.
About: I have experience handling, training, and caring for dogs of all ages. As well as, but not limited to, cats, birds, hamsters, Guinea pigs, bunnies, fish, and turtles! I work part time so I have plenty of time to devote to your furry loved ones. I love animals so I would be more than happy to welcome them into my home! I have one friendly dog and cat as well as a back yard. I follow all care instructions given carefully and will love and play with your beloved pet.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Newark
Camryn was wonderful with our Old English Sheepdogs! Not many people can handle too extra large dogs at the same time, but it was like she had been doing it her entire life. My girls absolutely loved her, and you could see her love for them. Camryn also followed instructions well, and made sure that my girls got everything that they needed. I will definitely be rebooking her in the future! Thank you Camryn!
Camryn was great with our two dogs. One of our dog is shy and get anxious, she was very patient with him and eventually he warmed up to her. She did a great job walking our dogs. Will definitely recommend her for anyone. She would be my go-to person for our dogs in future as well
