About: I've had dogs all my life, the most recently i had a awesome miniature poodle who I was fortunate to love and care for 17 years, so I am familiar with the needs of senior dogs. My schedule is fairly open every day after about 9 or ten am. I'd like a regular opportunity, but one offs will be good as well I am available for pet sitting at the clients home, but due to younger kids I can accommodate pets at my home. Walking and feeding and playing is ideal

About: I love animals and have experience working with and sitting for a wide range of them, including dogs, cats, and small or exotic animals. I myself have owned over twenty parrots (currently have two in the aviary!) and have extensive experience with fishkeeping — I have four cycled, walstad fish and shrimp tanks! I can walk your dog, clean your cat’s litter box, and even do water changes for your fish if needed! Anything to make sure your little guys are well cared for! I’m a graduate social work student who will be free over the summer, so my schedule is flexible until August. I can make myself available as needed. My own pets are given daily care. I own several disabled animals who require special care in order to get around and eat on their own. I currently have two budgies in a large cage l and two betta fish, each in 5-10 gallon tanks. The parrots are allowed to free fly for most of the day, but they will be put away when your pets are being boarded. In your home, I try not to disturb or move anything that’s not necessary. I’ll make use of only what’s given to me with regards to caring for your pet — but I do reserve the right to cuddle your pet a little more!

About: I've been a professional pet sitter/house sitter/dog walker since I moved to New Jersey in 2022. I'm looking to expand my client base, so I'm joining Rover. Prior to working as a pet sitter, I worked at an indoor dog park in Seattle. I'm comfortable with large and small dogs...we have two Great Pyrenees mixes and two small dogs at home, as well as two cats and a tortoise Located in Fanwood and serving the surround area. Pictured, above, are some of my happy clients. I'm a full-time pet/house sitter, so I'm available for walks & visits 7 days a week from 8am-10pm. Happy to take on one-time walks and regular visits. Safety for the pet is my top priority. I always make sure that gates are closed before I let pets out, and I'm always careful to not let flight risk animals out accidentally. I don't do pack walks, and I tend to steer clear of other dogs while out on walks. Feel free to reach out with questions!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs ever since I got Daisy, at just 3 months old. Raising and training her has given me hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, basic training, and providing lots of love and attention. I’m also a middle school teacher, so patience, responsibility, communication, and creating a safe environment come naturally to me. With summer break here, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the care and attention they deserve. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat your dog like part of the family while you’re away! As a middle school teacher, I have a very flexible schedule during the summer some of availability throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and pet sitting. I’m available, evenings, and weekends, before June 13, and I can easily adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving, and reliable environment where pets can feel secure and cared for while you’re away. I understand how important routines, patience, and trust are, and I’ll make sure your dog receives plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, administering basic routines, and keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind.

Shauntia quickly became our dog's best friend, and I am sure that your dog will luv her too! Miles is our 170 lb. Great Dane (lovable, gentle, but BIG) so we were impressed with how quickly Shauntia built a great rapport with him. When you invite Shauntia to care for your pet, you can be sure that it wont simply be a "visit" but it will be time that your pet will genuinely enjoy spending with her.

About: Hi, my name is Gabby! I’ve had dogs since the age of 7 and they’ve been such a huge part of my life growing up. I currently watch my cousins dog (a pit rescue), which is a total handful, but I always give him back totally tuckered out and it’s hard to leave him. I also have my own dog named Louie, a terrier mix, also a rescue and he gets along great with other dogs. I can take your dog along nice trails or a good walk around the neighborhood. I’m home full-time and would love to have your pet stay with me! I can board them, come to you, or just stop in every now and then to make sure they’re doing ok!

About: I am a local college student available to care for your furry “baby”; providing love and care as you would while away.  I have experience caring for range of pet ages understanding the needs of younger pets (exercise, stimulation) as well as older pets (mobility, meds, etc.).  Either way I take my time and exercise patience in getting your dog comfortable and happy with me caring for them.  My goal is to be their “stand in pet parent” and care and love for them as they way you do.   I believe to do that it is important to gain trust and confidence with meeting beforehand if that works for you.  I hope to make your pet feel comfortable so that their stay or care with me will be an enjoyable one for them, and a reassuring one for you. I am a college student - where I work my schedule to be available for your pet’s needs. I have taken care of my dog of 15 years and understand being available with the different needs of a young puppy to a more older dog. I will provide attentive, loving care by following their routine, giving plenty of affection, exercise, and patience, while creating a calm, safe, and loving environment.

About: I have taken care of gods since I was 10 years old. Responsible, energetic and just fun, I will make sure your dog has a great day .

My home has a large backyard and I also have a very friendly Corgi who is excited to meet new friends

About: I’ve been around dogs since birth! I had an English mastiff when I was born and I have another one now. I’ll no stranger to small dogs as I’ve had other dogs like pug’s and labs. I know how to take care of a dog, get them to follow direction, and keep them good company. No dog is a challenge for me and I’m willing to work with any dog. I currently am very open and flexible! I can work with pretty much any schedule you need me for! Open availability at the moment! :) In my own home I feed my cat, brush, clean up after him, and anything else he needs. Likewise when I have a dog I do all the same and if needed give oral meds or ear drops. Of course, most of all give the love they need and deserve

About: a dog owner myself and living in an area surrounded by owners who I’ve helped over the years to take care either walk, stay over night, or just a cuddle buddy, I’ve worked from puppies all the way to senior puppies I work full time but my hours vary each day so I know what days work better and will be able to help anyone whenever requests assistance for their loving furry friend my dog is trained off leash, but I don’t have a fenced backyard I love at a dead end so I have a lot of space to run around if need but a big area in neighborhood for walks to the park or just in town.

Paul was absolutely wonderful with Beau. You can tell immediately that he genuinely loves animals and treats them like his own. He was communicative, reliable, kind, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my puppy in his care. Beau adored him, and I could tell he was well cared for and happy when I got home. I would recommend him to anyone… although part of me wants to keep him a secret for myself 😂 Thank you again, Paul!
