Pet Sitting North Brunswick

“Pam went ABOVE & BEYOND in every way!! She cared for our animals (and our home) as if they were her own. She even watered a plant for my 10yo daughter. She is very knowledgeable with dogs and cats and her love for these animals is apparent. We will definitely book with Pam again on our next trip. Thank you Pam!!!”

About: Like any sitter on Rover, I have a deep love for animals, but what sets me apart is my experience caring for and advocating for pets who may be nervous, fearful, or reactive. I’ve been a proud owner of Maple for the past 8 years. She is a very nervous and fear-reactive Australian Cattle Dog/Jack Russell rescue, and over the years I’ve worked closely with her to help her feel more comfortable and confident. That has included training, medication, patience, and plenty of high-value treats! Living with Maple has taught me how important it is to understand a pet’s individual needs, recognize their body language and comfort levels, and never rush them into situations they aren’t ready for. I’m comfortable giving pets the time, space, and reassurance they need to feel safe and cared for. Whether your pet is outgoing and playful or needs a little extra patience and understanding, I’m committed to meeting them where they are and giving them the care they deserve. If your pet has a hard time on walks, I am perfectly comfortable handling these types of situations to ensure they get their walks stress free. Otherwise, all the more excited to work with you and your pets' needs. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of one-on-one attention. I’m generally available for visits between 6–11 AM on weekdays, as well as most hours on weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and can accommodate regular visits or occasional drop-ins. I’m also comfortable administering medications when needed, whether that means a pill hidden in a high-value treat or following specific instructions from you. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as consistent and stress-free as possible while you’re away. When caring for a pet in their home, my first priority is making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own space. I follow your instructions closely and do my best to keep their normal routine consistent—from feeding and walks to medications, playtime, and quiet time. I’m especially mindful of doors, gates, leashes, and other potential escape routes, and I never assume a pet is comfortable with something just because another pet might be. I pay attention to body language and let pets set the pace, especially when they’re shy, nervous, or reactive. My experience with Maple, my nervous and fear-reactive rescue, has taught me to be patient, observant, and proactive. I understand that building trust can take time, and I would much rather give a pet the space they need than push them beyond their comfort zone. I also know how important it is for owners to feel comfortable trusting someone in their home. I’ll treat your space with the same care and respect I give your pets, and I’ll keep you updated during visits so you know how your pet is doing.

“Kelley was FANTASTIC! She was so attentive to my two Aussies and she was very communicative and spent extra time playing with them. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone! I will be using her again for my next vacation!”

“Megan M. was amazing with my pack (4) of very large boys! She was friendly and professional! I will definitely use her again if I ever need Rover to cover a day my friends and family can't! The boys definitely made a new friend! 🐾💙”

“My animals loved Hannah! My dogs have a lot of energy and she played with them and threw the ball for a long time! She even noticed that my one dog had a health concern and asked me if I wanted her to do something for it so I had Hannah give my dog some medicine and put a cone on her. She went above and beyond! I have used Hannah to watch my dogs in the past and would definitely trust her with my pets again in the future! Even my cat loves her and he rarely warms up to new people!”

“Stacey is a top-notch pro and our cats always seem content with life when we return after they’ve been in her care. I can think of no better compliment.”

About: Hi, I'm Kelly!! 🐾 I'm a teacher in Somerset and a HUGE animal lover. I know how hard it is to leave your babies behind, so I make sure they feel safe, loved, and totally spoiled while you're away. I grew up around dogs my whole life. I have 2 dogs,who I love and adore and help my daughter take care of her 3 cats. For Dogs: Lots of walks, playtime, cuddles, and routine — from energetic pups to sweet seniors, I adjust to their needs. Daily photo & video updates so you don't miss a thing! For Cats: Quiet, cozy care on THEIR terms. No forcing cuddles — just fresh litter, fresh water, playtime (if they want it), and lots of love in their own comfy space. I'm reliable, patient, & respectful and I treat every pet like family. Let's schedule a meet-and-greet — I'd love to meet your fur baby! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I work as a teacher in North Brunswick, so I do drop-ins and walks before school (6-8am), after school (3:30-7pm), and all day on weekends. I live nearby and can do flexible midday visits if needed. I'm super reliable and always send photo updates! I treat your home with total respect — I stick exactly to your pet's routine for feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, and medications. I make sure doors and gates are always secured, water bowls are always full, and your pet gets one-on-one love and attention. I tidy up after myself, bring in mail/packages, and keep you updated with photos so you can relax knowing your baby and home are safe.

About: I currently cat/dog-sit for all of my friends, family, and extended family's pets. I recently lost my own boy, Bowie, who was a 100-lb rescue in May. I am well accustomed to bigger dogs, but also love taking care of the little ones and cats as well! I can also help with basic training commands, medication administration, and any special meal preparation that is needed. Now booking any holiday needs! I work from home full time Monday-Friday, so I'm able to care to their needs throughout the day, in between meetings! This schedule also allows me to focus on evening and weekend coverage for your date nights, quick trips, and weekend getaways! I have no pets of my own currently and have plenty of grass/dog park within my neighborhood. As long as your pet is potty trained, they would have full access to the couch/bed!

About: Throughout my life, I have consistently owned dogs. I possess the expertise to train both puppies and senior dogs, as well as administer medication when necessary. Additionally, my background in law enforcement includes working with the canine unit. I am passionate about providing exercise for animals. I work full time and are available2 to 3 days a week. Mondays would be after 1pm. Tuesday are open, and Wednesdays I am open in the morning till 1pm. I have a fenced in yard for my two dogs currently. Both of them are house trained and adorable. My dogs are on a raw diet which takes a lot of prep and care. They go on walks at night with me when I come home from work.

About: I have over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for a 60 lb Labrador Retriever, whom I raised from puppyhood. During that time, I learned how to understand dog behavior, body language, exercise needs, and daily routines at every stage of life. I also have experience caring for cats and understand that every pet has its own unique personality. I take the time to build trust, whether a pet is playful, shy, or needs extra patience. Although I no longer have my Labrador, the experience gave me a strong foundation in responsible pet care. I treat every pet as if they were my own, following each owner’s instructions carefully to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m a faculty at Rutgers, and most of my teaching is online, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend a lot of time at home. This makes it easy for me to provide pets with regular attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I plan my schedule to ensure every pet in my care receives consistent supervision and the care they need. I live in a clean, pet-friendly two-bedroom apartment near downtown New Brunswick. I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable, and calm environment where they can relax and feel at home. I follow each pet’s regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s normal routine to help reduce stress. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and regular updates with photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe and well cared for.

About: As a lifelong dog parent who recently provided dedicated, high-needs care for my own senior dog, I deeply understand every stage of a pup's life—from energetic puppyhood to the gentle senior years. I am highly experienced in managing specialized routines, including administering medications and eye drops, preparing prescriptive diets, and handling accident cleanups with patience. Whether your dog needs active playtime, structured walks, or just a comforting presence to feel safe and secure, I am ready to provide the attentive love they deserve. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to attend to your pups! I'm available for house sitting and staying with your pup in their own comfy environment. Let me know what your needs are and I'll try to accommodate them! I can care for your pet in your home as you see fit! My goal is to make your pup feel happy, safe, and secure and stick to their normal routine as much as possible.

About: My family once had a dog but he sadly passed away so it increased my passion for pets. I've had experience taking care of my Auntie's dog for 4 years and when I went to college I didn't see him as much but I came back and he remembered me as if no time past. I've constantly been around pets my whole life and have taken care of other peoples pets in emergency situations countless times. I work weekdays (Mon-Thurs) and I am in school but Friday into the weekends I don't do much so the weekend would be a perfect time to request me to care for a pet. Feel free to take a break and go on a weekend dinner date as your pet is left in good hands. I live on a college campus with vigilant security and cameras at every angle in my building but I am not prohibited to care for animals in my space. I am capable of defending myself and protecting the well being of animals at a clients space.

About: What sets me apart is the love and attention I give each dog as if they were my own. I’m very attentive to routines, feeding, and behavior, making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I’m also organized, patient, and I always make sure they get plenty of affection, playtime, and care. I’m fully available, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I can give pets consistent attention, follow their schedule, and be present throughout the day. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, safe, and loving environment with plenty of space to explore. I’m lucky to have a large outdoor area with beautiful surroundings, including small lakes and walking paths, which allows for relaxing walks and plenty of fresh air. I always supervise outdoor time to ensure safety. Inside, I keep a clean, cozy space where pets can rest comfortably and follow their usual routines. In clients’ homes, I respect each pet’s routine and environment, making sure they feel secure and cared for while you’re away.

“Janine is a fantastic dog sitter! She left a detailed report card of my dog’s visit and made sure to spend quality time! I will definitely be booking her again.”

“Ana is so amazing. Our little dog Carmela loves her. Ana is the only sitter who can get Carmela to bring her ball to play with her. Ana also got our mail which was so nice of her. We love how well Ana takes care of everything so we don’t have to worry when we are away”

Ruth R.

“Very patient and kind. Was able to work with me last minute with a couple of last minute changes. Will definitely be calling her again. Thank you.”

Lisa A.

“Hiral was prompt in checking in and out during her drop-in visits, and communicated her concerns about my pet in a clear and timely manner (my dog would not go potty, and we texted to reach a solution together). I would recommend her services to anyone!”

Kara M.

“Pamela did an amazing job! Will definitely be using her services again!”

About: I’ve cared for pets since I was 7 years old, gaining experience as a loving pet owner rather than a professional sitter. I’ve raised dogs and cats of all kinds and truly treat every animal like family. Friends and family often trust me to care for their pets because they know I’m responsible, patient, and always make sure every pet feels loved, safe, and happy. currently work full-time Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm, but I always make time for pets before and after work, as well as on weekends. I’m available for walks and drop-ins after 5:30pm on weekdays, and I’m fully available on weekends for boarding or extended stays. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love to make new friends. Your pet will have a safe, comfortable space to play and relax. I’m happy to follow any routines, feeding schedules, or crate preferences you have to make sure your pet feels right at home. I care for every animal as if they were part of my own family — with patience, love, and attention to detail.
