About: Hi, I’m Melissa! I’m a lifelong dog and cat lover with hands-on experience caring for pups of all temperaments and needs. I have two of my own — a 15 year old dachshund (that lives with my mom) and a 5-year-old pitbull and an outdoor Bombay cat, that stay with me. My pitbull struggles with anxiety and can be destructive, so I understand the patience, structure, and consistency it takes to care for dogs that may need a little extra attention. Beyond my own pets, I’ve cared for a variety of households: * Pet sitting for 4 Yorkies at once for a week * Managing 2 senior dogs and 2 cats in one home * Drop-in visits for dogs needing company throughout the day * And more.. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or sitting, I treat every pet like family — with love, patience, and reliable care. Your pets’ safety, happiness, and comfort always come first! My work schedule is Mon & Friday 9am-5:30pm working from home. Depending on the distance I can provide walks/visits during my lunch break from 12pm-1pm and any time after 5:30. Available all day every Saturday and Sunday Open to any accommodations that your pet may need. Drop in visits, pet sitting at my home or your home, daily walks, trips to the park, car rides, whatever you may need I am open to hearing about your needs and discussing what we can do.
“Daniel is wonderful with our 2 shy and sensitive pit mixes. He’s so patient, kind and detail-oriented, we’re so glad to have his help and support! He’s also great at communication and punctuality!”
“We LOVE Maryann. Whenever we are away we know our dog Isabella is in GREAT hands. She treats our dog like she’s her own, and really gives her so much love and attention. We will always use Maryann to walk/watch our dog.”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always surrounded by pets and spent a lot of time caring for them. Over the years, I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors by walking their dogs, feeding their pets, playing with them, and making sure they felt safe and loved while their owners were away. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and always treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. My goal is to make them feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I always make time to give each pet the attention, care, and affection they deserve. I communicate with owners, provide updates, and make sure every visit is a positive experience for both pets and their families. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I always follow each pet owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), exercise routines, and any special care requirements. I make sure pets feel calm, comfortable, and secure by respecting their routines and giving them plenty of patience, attention, and love. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they always know how their pet is doing.

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a teenager. From the family dog to the neighbors that are going out of town. I would feed the cats outside that usually ended up becoming a village. I care for two amazing cats now that are well behaved (Orange cat to the best of his abilities). I have an action camera that I can bring along upon request. I also like to take pictures so if allowed I’ll return some great pictures of your pet! I am an early bird that works from home with a very flexible schedule. I also go for evening walks around the park which are usually filled with dogs. Weekends are usually free. My cats get groomed weekly and have a food schedule that adapts well to their growing diet. When we dog sit our friends 2 Australian Shepard they are full of energy and get walked 3 times a day. Same goes for the family Boxer that has a few more years on him so he goes for a mild walk around the park.
“This was my first time using Rover or any dog walking service, let alone have anyone aside from myself, dad, or brother take care of my pup. And I have ZERO regrets. My dad was supposed to stay with my dog for the long weekend I was away, but last minute he couldn’t and I needed a plan B. I came to Rover to see if I could find a solution and I did- Peter! My pup is very lovable but also not easy, and many are too scared or just don’t want to deal with him. Because of that, I wanted to do a meet and greet first, which Peter happily agreed to. After just one visit, I knew that not only could he handle my dog and he would be well-taken care of, but knew they both were about to become buds. I was able to go away and not have any worries, especially since Peter gave very thorough recaps of his visits and pictures. Needless to say, my heart and mind were put at ease and I can’t think him enough for that. I will definitely be utilizing his services in the future and I know Thor will not mind at all.”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up with two dogs and later cared for two cats of my own, so I understand the patience, attention, and love pets need. Since moving to the U.S., I’ve also helped friends by caring for their pets in my home while they were away. I’m responsible, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making them feel safe and comfortable. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate quality time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available on weekends and most weekdays for drop offs and walks, and I always make sure pets are fed, exercised, played with, and given lots of affection throughout the day. Im flexible so i can have pets over my place as well as the client place. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. Having been a pet owner myself, I understand how important trust and routine are. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs, follow instructions carefully, and make sure they feel secure, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: But I am currently living the life of a crazy cat lady as mom to Sophie and Tommy. I am a kind, gentle and compassionate person who truly loves the majority of living creatures. I have had cats and dogs my whole life and babysit for my pupniece and friends' pets regularly (including lizards). I'd love to help care for your pets! I currently work full time, so my available weekday hours are limited, but am available for drop-ins at night on Mondays and Wednesdays, all day Tuesdays and Fridays and weekends. I am available to visit your home and take care of your pet according to your directions and needs, whether letting your dog run in the yard or crating them when I leave.
About: With 25 yrs experience being a dog owner or family member pet sitter, I assure you that your furry family member is in good hands. My current job allows me to spend time with your furry animal during the morning (walking) and early afternoons. And my weekends are always free. My home is fenced in and have a big yard for some exercise. Inside it is warm and cozy and welcoming for your furry family members.
About: Hello! My name is Danielle, I’m 18 years old, and I am an animal lover. I have a pretty flexible schedule, willing to walk and watch dogs on weekdays and weekends for the summer full-time. I’ve had experience taking care of pets including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and hamsters for family and friends for the passed 5 years. I currently own and take care of 2 cats at home. I am a very clean person when it comes to cleaning up after dogs when they go for walks or if they have accidents in the house. I will always be willing to take care of dogs and have a great time with them, as well as comfort and play them 24/7 in order for them to be happy and of course, for their owners to be happy as well.
About: Currently a medical student. I've been the primary care provider for our family dog and my best friend "Bama" for the past 11 years. I'm also the go-to friend and family dog sitter whenever the need arises. I have earned trust due to my love of life as a biologist and as a respected Eagle Scout. I know each life form has its own beautiful soul and should be treated with kindness and respect for that reason. I have pet care experience with dogs, cats, mice, and fish. I am currently a medical school, therefore, unemployed and have a lot of time to walk, play with, and give long belly scratches to furry friends. Animals make me extremely happy, so their happiness is also of utmost importance to me. Outside of my own personal experiences interacting with pets, I have also taken many courses in animal behavior and the biological basis of animal learning. I have a very solid understanding of why animals do the things they do and this allows me to adapt to whatever circumstances and/or needs of the pets or animals that I interact with. Whether that be crating a dog, training a rebellious puppy, or interactions with other dogs.
About: Hello! I’ve grown up surrounded by furry friends, learning early on the joy and responsibility that comes with caring for them. In my adult life, I had the privilege of having my own wonderful dog, who sadly and suddenly passed away recently. While I’m not yet ready to adopt another dog, my love for their companionship remains as strong as ever. I’m dedicated to providing the same care and attention to your dog(s) as I did for my own. I understand the special place they hold in our hearts and importance of trusting someone to look after them. With a flexible schedule, I can accommodate your needs, even last minute. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playing, or just keeping them company, I’m here to help! Due to my flexible schedule, it allows me to provide consistent walks, feedings, and playtime. Your pet will have plenty of opportunities for socialization and any training reinforcement, if that’s what is required to ensure the routine is kept to your liking. I ensure a comfortable and familiar environment for your pets whether it be my home or yours. In both settings, I maintain their routine with regular walks, feedings and plenty of play or down time. My priority is to create a safe, loving atmosphere where pets feel happy and secure.

About: As the granddaughter of a veterinarian, I have always had the most immense love for animals. Two-Three dogs and cats in the household was quite normal for me growing up. So, when I moved out and I started attending school, I knew, if time and resources permitted, that I would eventually want a pet of my own. The universe provided me with my baby girl nova. A Lab/Pitbull mix with lots of playful energy, kisses and cuddles to give. We embarked in her favorite adventures, car rides, parks, pup cups, and enrichment toys. As I have moved states to pursue higher education, I no longer have the resources to relocate her with me and therefore, she resides in the care of family and a family friend. I know how important it is to have help, community, and the necessary resources when taking care of another living being. Therefore, I wish to help others in any way that I can to care for their own fur baby! As a part-time student, my availability is pretty open. I am unavailable Tuesday/Thursday 11-1pm and Wednesday 10-1 pm. Any other days/time I am available, as long as travel time is accounted for. Each pet is different in terms of their needs. That is why I believe it’s important to follow clear instructions from pet-owners. In my home, pets are respected as fellow residents, and cared for with love:).

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - North Arlington
We had a great experience with Evan! He was friendly and did a wonderful job with our big, energetic Golden Retriever. Our dog came back happy and exercised, and we really appreciated how reliable and easy to communicate with he was. We’ll definitely be using him again and highly recommend him!
I cannot recommend Victoria enough! I’ve had my dog Nala for six years, and this was actually the first time I’ve ever gone away and left her in someone else’s care without having a family member or someone I personally know stay with her. I’ve always been extremely nervous about leaving her because Nala can be very reactive and aggressive toward other dogs after being bitten a few years ago, so I don’t trust just anyone with her. From the very beginning, Victoria was so understanding of Nala’s needs and completely respectful of the fact that she can be difficult around other dogs. She handled everything so calmly and confidently, and I felt like Nala was in really good hands. What meant the most to me was that Victoria went above and beyond what I expected. She didn’t just come in, take Nala for a walk, and leave. She spent extra time with her inside, hung out with her, made sure she was comfortable, and gave her the attention and companionship she needed while we were away. You could genuinely tell that she cared about Nala and wasn’t just there to do a job. As someone who has always had a hard time trusting other people with my dog, Victoria gave me something I honestly didn’t think I’d have on vacation: peace of mind. I was able to enjoy my trip without constantly worrying about how Nala was doing, and that meant so much to me. I am so grateful we found Victoria, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, responsible, and genuinely great with dogs. I will absolutely be using her again! Nala loved having her, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of her. ❤️🐾
Thomas walking our dog allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worry. Our dog was comfortable and happy with him from the first meeting which is a testament to how good Thomas is with dogs. Every walk was right on time. We would recommend him without hesitation. I am very grateful that we found someone that we can trust with our furry family member.
Cynthia has been absolutely wonderful with my stubborn puppy, who took to her from day one. She truly is a dog whisperer! She is patient, caring, and treats my dog as if he were her own. It’s clear how much she loves and cares for my dog, and that gives me complete peace of mind. I highly recommend Cynthia to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dedicated dog walker. The love, attention, and care she provides are truly exceptional.
Natalia was absolutely wonderful with Vali! She was incredibly flexible with scheduling, which made the whole process so easy for me. She took amazing care of him, made sure he got plenty of walks, and kept me updated the entire time with the sweetest photos and messages. It gave me total peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. You can really tell Natalia genuinely loves dogs and treats them like her own. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter, and I will definitely be booking with her again!
Nima did a fantastic job walking our Oli and I highly recommend her. She is punctual, professional, and extremely loving to all of our pets! Nima was also flexible with scheduling and willing to accommodate our (Oli’s) needs when we needed to modify the booking. She was also extremely patient when our Oli was being stubborn on walks or potty breaks, which we greatly appreciated, especially the photos of their walks when he was serving serious diva face! 😂 We will definitely be utilizing her services again in the future and cannot recommend her enough!
Krista has been an absolutely amazing dog walker! She is reliable, communicative, and clearly has a true love for animals. I always feel at ease knowing my dog is in such caring and capable hands. She goes above and beyond with updates, photos, and thoughtful attention to my dog’s needs and personality. My pup gets so excited every time she comes by, which says everything. I would highly recommend Krista to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and professional dog walker!
