“Karin did a wonderful job caring for our two pups while we were amour off state visiting family. She was professional, attentive, and kind at the meet and greet. My dogs took to her very well. She is definitely an animal lover!! And it shows. Karin asked all of the necessary questions and planned everything ahead of the visit from playtime to walks and food. We felt very secure and confident leaving our two pups with Karin. We knew they were in good hands. We received texts and pictures throughout the visit and could rest assured that our doggies had their walk, playtime, and were fed and safe.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life until I lost my last one in 2023 and decided to adopts cats. But there’s nothing like a bond between a dog and a human. I have taken care of family and friends dogs since I was a teenager. I haven’t for a while and I miss doing it I work monday- friday but am home by 5. I am off wednesday mornings as well and on the weekends. So i’d be a great walker! I follow a strict program. Wherever I am needed in the house, I will be there. I will not break the privacy of a client.
About: As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your animals. I have two dogs, a cat, and a bunny, so I’m experienced with different personalities, routines, and care needs. I currently work as a substitute teacher and will be attending medical school next year, giving me a flexible schedule and extra time that I’d love to spend caring for your animals. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and happy to tailor my care to what makes your pet most comfortable—whether that means an active walk, playtime, or simply some extra company and attention while you’re away. I currently work as a substitute teacher during school hours, which gives me a flexible schedule outside of the school day. I’m available for early morning and afternoon/evening walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, with additional flexibility on weekends and days I’m not teaching. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s normal routine. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your animals. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and will closely follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, or special care. I’m patient, responsible, and respectful of your home, and I’ll always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness while they’re in my care.
“Jennifer is our first walker for our very co-dependent pandemic pup, and she made the whole experience effortless and comfortable. Looking forward to leaving our pup in her care again soon!”
About: Since I was 10 years old, I’ve always had a dog in my life. I love animals so much and I offer nothing but affection and care. I love cuddling with them too if they’re open to it. I’m in sales so I do work from home a lot. When I leave my house, it’s for a maximum of four hours. If you have a dog that is shy, I have a separate room for him/her. I have a 10 pound Shih Tzu living in our home. I adore him and he’s very friendly but if your dog does not like other dogs, it’s not a problem to keep them separate. I usually keep my dog on the main floor of the townhome. He has full access to the whole floor. If your dog is shy, I have a spare room on the lower level that the dog can stay in solo with a couch, dog bed, crate, and toys. I will only take 1 household at a time (2 dogs max) to ensure that your pup gets plenty of individual attention.
About: I grew up in a house full of dogs, so caring for them has always been a huge part of my life. Because of that, I’m very comfortable with all types of personalities and energy levels, and I truly love spending time with them. I am very active - I run long distance and go for a lot of long walks. I work full-time during the week but am available before/after work and on weekends. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every dog like my own—making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for on every walk I work full-time 8-5 during the week but am available before/after work for visits/walks. I am also available on the weekends! I do my best to keep your pet’s routine exactly the same so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I’ll follow all feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific instructions you provide. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and I always keep your home clean and secure. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
About: I have extensive hands-on experience working with dogs of all ages, personalities, and behavioral needs. I studied canine psychology and behavior under certified behaviorists and professional certified trainers in Portland, Maine, with a focus on understanding canine communication, behavior, enrichment, and positive-reinforcement training. I previously owned and operated a pet care business in Portland, Maine, specializing in canine enrichment, individualized socialization, and overnight pet sitting. Much of my work focused on dogs who were not a good fit for traditional boarding facilities or standard pet-sitting environments, including dogs with higher energy levels, behavioral challenges, or unique individual needs. My approach is centered on creating a safe, structured, and comfortable environment while taking the time to understand each dog's individual personality and needs. I believe dogs thrive when their physical, mental, and emotional needs are properly met. It is my full-time job, so my weekly schedule revolves around pet care! I greatly look forward to adding your pet into my regular routine! I care for each pet based on their individual personality, routine, and needs. I take time to understand their normal habits, energy level, comfort level, and any behavioral or medical considerations so they can feel safe and comfortable in my care. I follow the owner's instructions closely and keep their normal routines as consistent as possible. I also prioritize clear communication with owners providing updates so they know how their pet is doing.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats and other furry friends for about 15 years. Helping neighbors, friends and family feed, walk and play with their pets while they’re away. I get done work around 3pm and am available for evening walks. I’m also available for stay over visits if the pup can go from 8:30am-3pm between walks Monday-Friday. I have a lovely quiet neighborhood to leash walk, close to the beach and I have a super cuddly older dog to keep them company. In your home I’ll care for your pets based on your expectations.
About: I’ve had animals for the last 30 years. Bathing, feeding, nail trimming, grooming, etc. I have cared for many animals throughout my life: dogs, cats, a snake, hamsters, chinchillas, fish, and even a rescue squirrel. All animals deserve love, attention, and care. I am also available to provide additional services, such as simple household chores. More than happy to answer any questions you may have! I currently work a full time flexible schedule, mostly remote. I can work with your schedule to make sure your pet gets what they need. I can do as you please when it comes to safety. Leashed walks, or fenced in play. Crate or room separation. Whatever is your pets normal, I can abide by.
About: Hi! My name is Genevieve I'm a lifelong animal lover with a gentle, nurturing approach, and I understand just how much your dog means to you. I recently lost my beloved soul dog, and while no one can ever take her place, I've found healing and purpose in caring for other pets with the same love and attention I gave to her. Whether it's playtime, snuggles, walks, or just keeping your dog calm and comfortable while you're away, I treat every pup like they're part of my family. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment where your dog feels at home and you can have peace of mind. I’d be honored to care for your family member and will always provide updates, photos, and plenty of tail wagging joy. I’d love to meet you and your pup! Edit: I have recently moved, and since they don’t allow dogs outside of those you own, I will only be available for dog walking or visiting your home. One of the things that makes me a great sitter is that I work from home full time, which means I’m able to give your dog a consistent, calm, and loving environment. I can easily stick to their normal daily routine…whether that means feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or just cozy companionship on the couch. I offer daily trips to your house for walks/feedings. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well being are my top priorities. I’ll always follow any rules, routines, or special instructions you provide, because I know that every dog, and every household, is unique.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, as I grew up with 2 dogs. I have 5+ years of experience in housesitting, walks and playdates. I also have experience with reactive dogs, where I can keep them safe during walks with patience. I currently work in a mostly freelance and remote environment. I am flexible and I communicate well about my schedule for accommodating your fur friends. I treat every pet at home as if it were my own. I make sure to follow instructions precisely and with care. I make sure to double check that fences are closed and doors are locked. Pet safety is a top priority. I have a lot of love for what I do and that shows in my work.
About: If you're like me, pets are an extension of your family, so I Funderstand how much trust goes into having a stranger care for your dogs and cats. With over 10 years of experience, I've handled everything from cleaning and giving medication to daily feeding routines and enriching playtime. Cats and dogs, all sizes and ages, are welcome. I can't wait to meet your furry family member(s). I recently graduated with my Master's degree. I'm enjoying my time off, and saving up for an apartment while job searching, so I am available all, day everyday. I provide care at your home, following your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, whether that entails feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or any medications. I make sure to keep their environment safe and secure (checking doors/gates/fences) and am more than happy to send updates or photos to you at your request so you know how your pet(s) are while you're away.
About: Back on Rover after a two-year hiatus and excited to meet some new furry friends! I've been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life, and as a dog mom myself, I know pets are family. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you complete peace of mind. I work from home, so I have the flexibility to provide personalized care, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. Every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and all the little details that make them unique - from their favorite toy, walking route, and feeding schedule to treat preferences, commands, medications, and any fears or anxieties. The more I know, the better I can make their time with me feel like another normal day. I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and will care for your pet as if they were my own. You'll receive regular updates, lots of photos, and open communication every step of the way. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family member! I work a hybrid schedule and am home most evenings and weekends, giving me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and quality one-on-one time. I always do my best to accommodate your pet's routine and your scheduling needs. Your pet's safety and comfort always come first. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special needs before our visit. Whether your dog enjoys leisurely neighborhood walks or more adventurous hikes and trails, I'll tailor our time together to their age, health, and energy level while always respecting your preferences.
About: My name Julie Barber and I live in the Oceanport area. I have been a dog owner & lover for many years. Our dogs have brought us a lot of happiness & always considered them as part of the family. After losing our golden/spaniel Chloe to cancer three years ago, I didn't adopt again due to Storm Sandy. So with the move out of my home (after Storm Sandy to lift & rebuild) and living with an 'unknown' timeline, I decided to wait a bit. But when friends and neighbors reached out to me & asked if I would dog-sit, I was happy to help. So this began my love of boarding pets. I'm so glad it did. It felt like a very natural transition fell into my lap! I really do enjoy boarding and caring for my many dog clients* To date I have cared for dozens of lovely dogs and their pet families have been wonderful to meet too. 👍🏼😊🐾
About: I have owned pets my entire life and love nothing more spending time with animals. I also love being outdoors, so I can ensure you that your beloved pet will receive all the exercise, love, and, attention it deserves I know all the commitment it takes to care for an animal, so taking care of a pet will fit in at anytime during any day during my week I am very protective and observant of my own dog to make sure he is always happy and safe and promise to do the same for whichever pet I watch. I love taking my dog to the beach or for even long walks around my neighborhood. Giving a pet the attention it deserves is a vital component when it comes to owning any type of pet.

I just used Meghan for a 10 day trip out of town. She made it here in bad weather, when it wasn’t always convenient for her. She always goes above and beyond and loves my puppy and he loves her.! She’s a real animal lover and a total pro in every respect. Don’t hesitate to employ her. You will not regret it. I’m so very thankful that I found her . Thank you, Meghan !
Maximillian kept us up to date on both our cat and dog throughout his visits with them. We felt very comfortable leaving them with him as we travelled across the world! He will be with them again later this month and we are very happy about it. Highly recommend!!
Keith is an angel who helped us during an emergency when our dog had separation anxiety on vacation. He went above and beyond. He is respectful, trustworthy, great with communication, and my dog absolutely loved him! An amazing person with a huge heart. Keith is the greatest of all time.
Heather was GREATTTT with my dog. She checked in consistently and responded quickly with no issues. I had no worries about my doggy at all I knew she was in great hands. She paid attention to her very well and updated us through the day. Book her and you’ll see!! 😊
