About: My name is Lydia and I provide boarding, drop-ins, walks, and doggy daycare in a safe, loving, home-style environment where your dog will be treated like family. I’m home full time, so pets are rarely left alone and get lots of attention, supervision, cuddles, outdoor time, and play throughout the day. I have a fenced-in yard with plenty of room for dogs to run and play, along with a separate dog room for a calm and comfortable space to relax. I also have two large kennels available in our air-conditioned garage for dogs who prefer more space or a quieter setup. I love dogs of all ages and have experience caring for playful puppies, including potty training and routines, as well as senior dogs who may need extra patience, gentle care, or more frequent potty breaks. While I’m newer to Rover and have only had a handful of clients here so far, I’ve built a strong reputation on Wag with a 5-star rating, 85 reviews, 91 completed services, and many repeat clients. My goal is always to make pet parents feel comfortable and confident knowing their dog is safe, happy, and loved while they’re away! I am very flexible with my schedule and always aim to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I know how important consistency is, and keeping their usual schedule helps reduce stress and makes them feel more comfortable while you’re away. Whether that means specific feeding times, walks, playtime, crate routines, or bedtime habits, I will do my best to match what they’re used to at home. Since I am an online college student and stay at home mom to my toddler and home full-time, I’m able to adjust my day around your pet’s needs, by providing frequent potty breaks, attention, and care throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where your dog can feel safe and relaxed. I have a large, fully fenced-in backyard for secure outdoor play, and I always supervise pets while they’re outside. Inside, I make sure all pets have a comfortable space to rest and adjust at their own pace. I can separate dogs if needed and always pay close attention to their behavior to ensure everyone stays safe and happy. I am very attentive and experienced with dogs of all ages and energy levels—from young puppies to senior dogs who may need extra care and patience. I also have experience handling feeding routines, administering medications with clear instructions, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I will respect your space and follow all instructions closely to keep your pet on their normal routine. I’ll make sure they feel comfortable in their familiar environment while providing reliable, loving care. I will also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away.
“Thank you for helping us with a last-minute booking! You were so sweet with our fur babies, and we really appreciated your care and flexibility. Happily book again!”
About: I am a major animal lover, I often think I enjoy pets over humans at times . I will love your pet like my own. I enjoy going to different parks so your pet will have a fun time going on a walk. During boarding your pet will be treated like my own, if your fur baby has anxiety not a problem they will not be alone I allow dogs on my sofa and bed so if need be they will not sleep alone. Not potty trained ?? Not a problem, I am patient as know it is a process to everything so trust you puppy will be on the schedule we discuss as to not set them back while in my care . ! ! I love animals and always give them the care , exercise and love they need and deserve and I treat my dog as my child I walk him daily, and open fields to run . I stay away from dog parks but if your baby wants to go then I will take them. I have a fenced back yard and one French Bulldog that is my spoiled baby. He has his own room and space where he can go to sleep and play if he doesn’t not want to be bothered . I will treat your pet like my own .
“Was very helpful accepting my request last minute. Came here for a meet and greet and was very curious about any potential trial issues my dog may have while out on walks. Was very good at communicating when she was coming and when she arrived and even saved me when I accidentally overlooked that she was booked for ongoing walks and a payment was submitted that should not have gone through. Highly recommended from this customer. Hard to find someone willing to take on the challenges of walking a large breed Cane Corso like mine.”

“Such a kind young woman! She was great with Fish and took the time to help me get her fed and change her water! I’m down with a knee injury and she even offered to help me however she could!”
About: Ever since I could remember, I have been raised in a household with multiple dogs. I was allowed to supervise them while my parents would go on vacations, which was always a blast. While working for Rover, I have gained much experience handling elderly animals, administering oral medications, and learning how to bond with even the most timid animals. I love working with dogs and cats since it is a rewarding experience. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I work as a Rover pet sitter and dog walker while completing my online master’s program. I have flexibility throughout the week to schedule walks, drop ins, and pet sitting visits around my coursework. I do ask for about two days notice when possible so I can plan ahead and set aside dedicated time for each pet. I’m committed to providing reliable, attentive care while balancing my school schedule. I am also very strict with frequent restroom breaks for the pets so they don't experience discomfort under my care. If needed, I can administer oral medications to both cats and dogs. In addition, I'm always careful with animals and their body language. Your pet must be feeling safe and comfortable with me, so I always encourage owners to meet with me for a meet and greet before I begin visits!
About: I’ve been around dogs ever since I was born, I’ve lived with 13+ dogs at once, and took care of all of them! I’ve never had a dog dislike me in any way, everyone warms up in their own way! I’ve had dogs ever since they were born up until they grew into old friends, I pay attention to all details of what the dogs like and don’t like! I’m free the whole week besides Monday and Thursdays from 1pm-4pm! I work from home, and I am on my own time, I don’t go anywhere up until midnight, so this works perfectly! I care for all of my pets very deeply, I switch with my parents on walking the dogs, they love to spend time outdoors so I do that a lot with them! I’ve also lived with my grandparents who have over 10 dogs themselves on a plot of land ranging from Chihuahuas to Great Danes in size. I can babysit in house
About: I have 15+ years of experience with dogs of every shape and size. Between caring for my own dogs, my family’s, and friend’s, I’ve come to be very familiar with their routines, needs, and behavior. My experience with applied behavior analysis lends tremendously to successful training techniques. I take pride in maintaining clean environments, administering meds, and being undeterred by big dogs. My experience as a nanny gives me a unique understanding of working in your most private space. Special instructions are always followed with care and love. I am currently starting my new job as a water safety instructor! My availability may change while I am in training, but I am still open for drop-ins and walks. Unfortunately, due to the needs of my own rescue cat, I am not available to provide overnight boarding services in my residence at this time.

About: I've been a sitter throughout a majority of my life and have been exposed to all sorts of pets. Dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, even frogs!

I have definitely taken on that mentality throughout life, as every pet is precious and worth the love and effort. I'd love to be able to look after your fur-baby if given the opportunity—feel free to reach out!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Newark
I cannot say enough great things about Hailey. From the moment she arrived, I felt confident that Kona was in caring and capable hands. Kona wasn’t feeling her best that morning and ended up having diarrhea twice during their walk. Hailey immediately communicated what was happening, kept a close eye on her, and even offered to come back later in the day to let her out again if needed. What impressed me most was her attentiveness, professionalism, and genuine concern for Kona’s well-being. She didn’t just complete the walk and move on—she took the time to provide detailed updates and made sure I knew exactly how Kona was doing. As a dog owner, especially when your pup isn’t feeling well, that level of communication provides tremendous peace of mind. Despite not feeling great, Kona still had a wonderful experience, and Hailey’s patience and compassion were evident throughout the entire visit. It’s clear she truly cares about the pets she works with and treats them as if they were her own. If you’re looking for someone reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring, Hailey is the person you want caring for your dog. Kona and I are incredibly grateful for her help, and I would recommend her without hesitation. Thank you, Hailey—you truly are the best!
