Dog Sitting Newark

“Melissa did a wonderful job with our furry family. She even gained the confidence of our scared cat that has never come out for any other sitter. We will definitely be booking her again.”

“We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter! She took great care of our dogs and kept us updated while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our pups were happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we returned. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. We truly appreciate her reliability, kindness, and attention to detail. We would absolutely trust her with our dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter!”

About: I have a home with 4 dogs! I have a Staffordshire terrier, Pyrenees pit, Border Collie/ Pyrenees and a Labrador, so I have lots of experience with dogs of different breeds and needs. I have always grown up around dogs and have experience caring for them in all stages of their life. I am a teacher, so I have the entire summer off! I can dedicate entire days to taking care of your pups. I dedicate hours each day taking care of my own, prioritizing exercise. I have a fenced yard and a completely dog-safe home. My dogs are treated as family! I allow them on furniture and ensure that nothing is out that could harm them. I also have 3 crates in the home, in case your baby needs a safe place to go!

“Makae was a lifesaver when she was able to take care of my dog last minute. I was nervous because I hadn't used Rover before but she made me feel at ease by sending daily texts and photos of my happy pup. She's such a calm and positive presence and I will definitely trust her to take care of Maya again!”

“I have a very strong and playful dog. This was the first time I've had to get a sitter and I was worried about being able to find someone I felt confident could handle him. Rachel was wonderful and showed me I have nothing to worry about. She sent me an adorable photo of him and had a great write up of everything that went on while she was here. It made me smile and laugh. I enjoyed reading about my dog's usual goofiness and that he was pretty well behaved. I do hope she'll be willing to take him on again! Thank you!!!!”

Kristin E.

“Yvette checked in on my two cats while I was away and did an amazing job. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter to check in on their fur babies!”

About: Hello! Liam and Sierra will be taking care of your furry family!! Sierra grew up on a farm and loves all 4 legged friends. Liam grew up with dogs his whole life! We love all dogs and show that by showing them a safe but loving, great time! Last year Liam and I fostered 14 dogs from bottle babies to seniors, so we are educated on all types. And now we have a large fenced in yard that dogs can run full speed in!! We also have an air conditioned sunroom that they can chill, drink water, and relax until ready to run again! The yard also has several mature trees so it’s very shaded! A doggie paradise! We are currently working on adding a doggie pool so they can cool off in the summer! My husband and I will be team working watching your pets! There will almost always be someone around to be there. We will always have them play before their breakfast. Then nap time for their belly’s to digest! Midday potty and play break. Then cool down. Then back to playing then eating! And for overnight potty breaks before bed! I have a large fenced in yard, and two friendly dogs myself! They are more than welcome to play or be separated! We have built in wooden crates here that are 6 feet by 3 feet they can lounge in or you can bring yours! However you prefer we will accommodate your pets needs! Our first priority is safety, and next your pet having a fun time!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have extensive experience caring for multiple dogs at once for years. I’m known as the dog whisperer in my family because even shy or cautious dogs feel comfortable with me. I have hands on experience with puppies who need patience and structure, as well as senior dogs who require gentle, attentive care. Dogs aren’t just pets to me - they warm my soul, and I treat every dog like family. I’m currently not working, which gives me a very open and flexible schedule to focus on the pets I care for. I have a class on Tuesday evenings and attend church on Sunday mornings, but am available at all other times. I’m available to provide house sitting anytime and am happy to adjust to your normal routine. I value reliability, communication, and making sure both pets and owners feel comfortable and at ease. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. While I’m not currently able to provide care in my own home, I’m happy to care for pets in their familiar environment, where they feel safest and most relaxed. I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, playtime, walks, medications, and routines. I respect your home, communicate openly, and treat every pet with patience, attentiveness, and care you can trust.

About: As a dog owner, I understand how important it is to leave your pup in a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment where you can feel completely at ease. I offer a smoke-free home with a spacious yard where your dog can explore, play, and relax comfortably. I’m a proud dog mom to two very sweet pups — Thor, my 3-year-old labradoodle and gentle giant, and Bowzer, my 10-year-old cockapoo couch potato. Thor is playful, crate-trained, and almost always carrying one of his toys around. Bowzer is calm, affectionate, and happiest curled up on the couch — and yes, I do allow pups on the couch 😊 Bowzy loves sharing his spot, and Thor is usually nearby with his toys and ready for cuddles. I believe communication is key, especially when your dog is in someone else’s care. During your pup’s stay, I’ll send regular updates along with photos and videos so you can relax knowing they’re happy and in good hands. For everyone’s comfort and safety, I only board one family’s dog at a time. This allows your pup to acclimate calmly with my dogs and ensures they receive my full attention. My goal is to provide a loving, safe, and cozy stay. I look forward to meeting you and your precious pup! I work from home three days a week and am in the office two days with limited hours, so I have a later start to my mornings and am typically home by 5pm. This allows for consistent potty breaks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Our mornings begin with a potty break in the yard followed by breakfast. In the evenings, the pups have dinner and we wind down with playtime, a walk around the neighborhood, or cozy couch time. If your pup follows a specific feeding, walking, or medication schedule, I’m more than happy to stick to their usual routine so they feel comfortable and at ease. I provide a calm, smoke-free home with plenty of indoor space and a yard for dogs to safely explore and play. We also enjoy neighborhood walks for extra exercise and fresh air. Thor is crate-trained and comfortable sleeping in his crate at night. Bowzer usually sleeps in his own bed or near me. I always follow what makes each dog feel most secure. If your pup prefers to be crated, sleeps in their own bed, or is used to sleeping near their people, I’m happy to accommodate their usual routine. If your dog requires a crate during their stay, I kindly ask that you provide their crate so they have something familiar and comfortable from home. For everyone’s comfort and safety, I only board one family’s dog at a time. I’ve found that dogs adjust best in a calm environment where they can acclimate at their own pace without the stress of multiple unfamiliar dogs. This allows me to give your pup my full attention and care.

About: HelIo, I'm new here on Rover. I've had dogs since childhood and currently have two fur babies. Most of my experience comes from taking care of dogs for family and friends. I love and treat every pet the same as I do for my own. Over the times I've been responsible to follow feeding schedules, give medication(s) as instructed, set potty breaks, go on walks, and be alert if a pet became anxious. I believe each pet has its own characteristics that makes them unique. I'm excited to start this journey and make new best friends 🐾 For new clients, I am flexible to do a meet and greet so your pet and I can get familiar before booking. ***PS. I am allergic to cats. I can accept drop-in bookings, but I can't do longer durations such as housesitting. *** Your pet's safety and happiness are my top priorities. I am currently working full time. My schedule is set up to a 9/40 week. I work Mon-Thurs one week with a Friday off and the following week Mon-Fri. On my working Friday's I am available late evenings for a drop-in or housesitting. I have Saturday and Sunday off. If you have any questions about my schedule and/or availability, please feel free to contact me. I will ask and follow up with owner's instructions for each pet(s) needs. From schedules to potty breaks their needs will be met. I will ask beforehand if there are any safety concerns I should be aware of in or outside the house. If there are any unusual signs about the pet(s) please let me know so I can be aware of and prepared for.

“Amelia was absolutely wonderful and went out of her way to take care of my sweet baby. Cranberry got sick before I had to leave out of town and Amelia offered to come twice per day to make sure she got her medication on time . I am well pleased with the service I received and highly recommend Amelia for ALL your pet care needs!”
