About: Hello! My name is Danielle and I’m a dedicated stay-at-home mom with a big heart and boundless energy. Caring for my family and my two beloved dogs has inspired me to extend my love and attention to other pets in need of a home-away-from-home. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and attentive to look after your furry family members. With a loving personality and a drive to create a safe, joyful environment, I’m committed to making sure your pets feel right at home. Whether your pet loves to play, snuggle, or simply relax, I’m here to provide personalized care and plenty of affection. I look forward to meeting your pets and giving them the love and attention they deserve! I am home daily and have availability to play, cuddle, love and watch your pets throughout the week. I do have one dog that lives in the home that loves to play and run. I have a fenced yard which will allow the dogs to play freely with or without my dog present. While in your home I will respect your wishes for your pet and can crate them if needed or administer any medications.

About: I have been an animal lover my entire life. I have had a variety of all animals such as dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, bearded dragons, etc for as long as I can remember. I’ve had exposure to animals of all age ranges. In the past, I have had senior dogs who have had seizure disorders and provided comfort care for them until the end including medications, pain management and helping them through challenging moments from their medical conditions. My focus and goal being apart of your pets care is to provide them a safe, comfortable, friendly environment while under my care and also just having fun! I have had dogs that I have worked with on behavioral modification training, leash training, potty training, etc. Although I am not a certified trainer, I have had exposure to reward and positive reinforcement training and have worked on this closely with a trainer and my own animals and have seen the benefits. I am looking forward to being a positive impact on your sanity and your pets care! I currently am out of work and expecting a little one! With all of my free time, I’d love to put it towards doing something I love and enjoy, spending it with animals! In my clients home, I would ensure that all pets needs are met with food, water, stimulation with play, etc. For safety I would leash the pet before opening the door for a walk and ensuring the pet is tamed and not too excitable walking out the door to avoid any accidents. I would utilize any tools the owner provided such as crates, gates, etc while caring for the pet. For care in my home, I have a fenced in yard and 4 dogs, 2 cats. I would slowly introduce them to each other and have gates available along with 3 different floors in my home to separate if need be. I have crates available if needed to give space. I am always home and would never need to leave your pet alone! I have plenty of toys and treats ready to go!

About: Some people have photo albums full of babies and friends. I have a gallery of animals I’ve befriended—on sidewalks, in parks, on farms, and even in random parking lots. Sometimes I even go to the dog park just to hang out with dogs and soak up their joyful energy. My friends know I’ll stop mid-sentence to meet a dog. Provided the owner approves, I introduce myself, learn about the breed and its story, snap a few pics, and send a text introducing the pet to my mom, son, sister, and niece—like it’s breaking news. (They’ve come to expect this. It’s basically a subscription service now.) I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet. When I traveled, it meant everything to me that the person watching my dog and cats would love them like their own. That’s exactly how I approach every pet I care for. Whether your dog is playful, shy, high-energy, or a couch potato, I’ll meet them where they are and treat them like family. I follow their routine, keep you updated with happy pics, and make sure they feel safe, calm, and cared for until you return. I grew up with dogs, and over the years, friends have entrusted me with both their homes and their beloved pets. Just this year, I’ve cared for: – Five sweet—but high-maintenance Chihuahuas (yes, all at once!) – Seven animals in one home: a high-energy Mexican street dog rescue and six cats (including three feral kittens and three indoor/outdoor adults) – A mature lab/retriever mix – And my beloved grand-dog 💛 If your dog boards with us, welcome to Camp Mimi! 🐾 Here, they’ll get a double dose of attention and affection. My love for animals started with my mom, who always had dogs by her side — first dachshunds (my aunt bred them!), and later, energetic border collies and loyal Australian shepherds. Caring for animals runs in the family, and at Camp Mimi, your pup becomes part of the pack. They will have a spacious yard, squirrels to chase, room to play, a pool to cool off in, and daily walks tailored to your pup’s needs—it’s like a dog’s dream vacation. Check out the Camp Mimi photos – you may want to stay here too! Not boarding? I also offer drop-in visits and dog walking at your home, with the same loving care and attention. I’m also a professional organizer and gardener, so I bring a natural sense of order, calm, and care into every space I’m in. Should you want me to stay in your home, I can be available for extended periods of time. You can count on me to keep your home and garden tidy, peaceful, and well-tended, just as you left them—or maybe even a little better. If you're looking for someone your pet will genuinely want to see again— I’d be honored to be a loving steward of your pet(s) and your home while you’re away. My schedule is flexible and I have a car. I can pop in for a quick visit or spend time with your furry one(s). Walks, playtime, or whatever you need. How I Care for Pets in My Home At Camp Mimi — affectionately named after my mom, whose lifelong devotion to dogs inspired my own — your pet becomes part of the family. We offer a cozy, calm environment with room to roam, squirrels to chase, and even a pup-approved pool to splash in. I follow your dog’s routine closely — walks, meals, meds, naps — to keep them feeling safe and loved. We are home most of the day, so they’ll get tons of attention, snuggles, and regular photo updates from their stay at Camp Mimi. Bonus: We are home most of the day, so they’ll rarely be alone. 🐾 How I Care for Pets in Their Home When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I treat your space and routine with great respect. I keep pets on their normal schedule — walks, meals, meds, bedtime — and send regular updates with photos so you know they’re happy and safe. Whether they’re energetic explorers or sofa snugglers, I match their vibe and keep them comfortable while you’re away. I also bring a professional touch: I’m a seasoned house sitter, gardener, and organizer, so your home will be well cared for too.

About: Hello! My name is Alyssa it’s such a pleasure to meet you! ☺️ I came to rover because I wanted to try something new and hopefully meet new friends and help their animals! I am a nurse and I also love waitressing on the side. My time has recently opened up which is why I’m trying this place out! I’ve raised cats my entire life and I’ve been raising German Shepherds for the last 2-3 years. I’m experienced with caring for sick animals as my first German Shepherd was special needs and so my 10 year old cat named Nico. I’m comfortable giving medication and I know many tricks to administering it to those who like to spit it out haha! I’m experienced handling working breed dogs and love training them! I’ve also been told many times I’m a cat whisperer and seem to win over even the most introverted cats 🤣 Having the ability to care for others and animals is my biggest accomplishment and blessing! I look forward to hopefully meet with you soon!! My schedule has been recently freed up so I’ve been prioritizing training my dog and doing self care! Scheduling is currently very flexible for me and I’ll update here when things change! As you may have guessed my life is pretty crazy busy 🤣🤣 but I do thrive off of the busy schedule and love being productive with my time! When it comes to my shepherd and cats, a consistent routine is always something I always create around my schedule! Routine is very important for pets and they can be stressed without it! Feeding, nap, play, and bedtime I always strive to keep consistent within a reasonable time frame. This is also what i strive for when caring for someone else’s pets as a primary way to keep stress to a minimum for them. When it comes to working breed dogs like mine, I like to allow around two hours daily of walking, training, and play to fulfill their psychological and physical needs. When I am caring for another person’s animal, I also love to help out in other ways such as basic chores around the house during down time! Cleaning is very therapeutic for me and I always love to help out when able to! However I do respect any and all boundaries on whatever you’re comfortable or not comfortable with!

Destiny T.
“I would recommend Destiny because she is an animal lover and owns 4 dogs and 2 cats not to mention all the volunteering at Funny Farm Rescue and donating supplies to local animal shelters in need! You will see Destiny naturally connects with people and animals with her honest pure giggly warm personality! Destiny is also trained in certain commands to help dogs react in a calmer more positive way and will recommend certain collars or tools to make your life a lot easier when dealing with young higher energy dogs that may have never had any training.”


Kimberly H.
“I can't say enough wonderful things about Kim. She rented a room in my home for about 6 months in 2024-2025 and was an outstanding housemate! Always offering to help with chores, often one step ahead of me, and she was wonderful with my cat and my two rescue pups who grew to love and trust her very much. I found Kim to be intelligent, thoughtful, generous, conscientious and tidy, as well as friendly and outgoing. I'm very selective of who takes care of my animals but I would trust Kim wholeheartedly. She has a deep love and respect for all animals and is a sitter you can trust and rely on.”


Alyssa F.Star Sitter
“I highly recommend Alyssa as your next pet caretaker. She is a very hard worker, and cares more about animals than anyone I know. She has a high understanding of what each animal as an individual may need from her, and takes the time to learn that. I know she will send you as many updates as you need throughout her visit, and she will do everything required to keep your pet as safe and healthy as possible. Alyssa has also had large dogs and cats of her own and has a wide range of skills pertaining to both ends of the spectrum.”


Tiffany D.
“Tiffany is one of the most responsible pet owners that I have ever met. Not only does she go above and beyond with the care of her own dog, but she takes the care of others' dogs as seriously as her own. She is extremely vigilant with their care, while still being a caring person. When taking care of animals, she does not stop at the bare minimum with care. Instead, she treats every animal she meets (including her beta fish) with the upmost care and sympathy. I would trust her any time.”

Steven D.
“I can't recommend Steven highly enough as a dog sitter and trainer. From the first day, Steven demonstrated an exceptional level of patience and understanding with my Yorkie, transforming walks into a pleasurable experience for both my dog and me by teaching him how to walk properly on a leash. Not only did Steven manage to potty train him, but he also introduced a variety of commands and tricks that were beyond my expectations. My dog now knows how to respond to commands like 'up,' 'down,' 'sit,' and 'rollover' with enthusiasm and precision. What truly sets Steven apart is his genuine care and patience. He has looked after my Yorkie multiple times, and each instance has been a testament to his dedication and love for animals. His ability to connect with my dog and teach him in a way that is both fun and effective is remarkable. It's clear that Steven doesn't just watch over your pets; he invests time in them, ensuring they are not only cared for but also learning and growing. For anyone seeking a responsible, skilled, and compassionate dog sitter, Steven is, without doubt, the perfect choice. My dog has benefited immensely from his time with Steven, and I am deeply grateful for the positive impact he has had on our lives.”


Adrienne S.
“Adrienne is the perfect candidate to work for Rover! Adrienne has grown up with pets her entire life, dogs and cats! Not only does she care for her own pets, but she loves everyone else’s pets too! I have a puppy (9 months old) and Adrienne has helped me from the start! She has babysat Buck (my dog) for me a handful of times and he always greets her with a tail wag and big kiss! She is affectionate, caring, responsible and hard working! When I first met Adrienne six months ago when she joined the team I work for with the State of NJ. I have gotten to know Adrienne well as a coworker and on a personal level. After seeing her in multiple roles I definitely believe she would be a great employee for Rover as well as a loved dog walker by all pet owners!”

Heather W.
“My family (children and pets) love Heather. She has been watching my cats for years. She had a special relationship with my older cats. Now that they have passed, she is engaging and taking on our new kittens, who can be a handful even at 1 year old. They need to play and interact, not just sit and cuddle. I feel better and am able to enjoy our family's time away from home knowing that Heather is there to ensure our cats are happy and safe.”


Chloe H.

“Chloe is the sweetest. Spud loves her!”


Annalise B.
“Annalise is amazing with pets and I would trust her with them. I see how she takes care of her own pets and Annalise is so loving and caring to them.”


Jessika A.
“Jessika cared for my young dog for over a year as her lunchtime walker and playmate.. She was 100% reliable and I had no concerns in that regard. She was kind and loving to my pup, who would greet her with glee when we saw her anyplace else. She was excellent in communicating with me about the events of their daily hour together and was very attentive to any unusual behaviors, I had no problem trusting her with full access to my home. She was an important part of our lives and we have kept in contact as she has moved around the country. We were sad when she moved! I cannot recommend her enough. You will be pleased!”
