About: My wife and I share a love of dogs and have raised many throughout our lives. We will provide a safe and loving environment for your pet. We offer personalized care that meets the needs of your dog, making our home, their home, away from home. We have experience administering medications, caring for senior dogs, taking dogs for walks and have a fenced in yard for active pups. We are recently retired and currently do not have a dog. We have no children living at home, although we have an active home with many dog loving grandchildren that visit and since they all have their own dogs, will love playing with yours. We are currently retired and have time to dedicate to your pet. We enjoy being outside and would love to spend time with your dog by either walks, playing in the yard or visiting the park. Our home is pet friendly, allowing your dog to roam freely. We have a fenced in yard for play and a deck that dogs enjoy sunning themselves on. Going for a walk, taking time to understand your dogs needs and just spending time with your dog is our priority.

About: I've rescued all over 50 dogs, have years of pet-sitting experience and love animals of all shapes and sizes! Even skittish pets trust me perhaps because I have a calm personality. I have retired after working at Riverview Medical center for 25 years so I have lots of time to spend with your pet family! I am available most days and/or evenings. I will follow your instructions to the letter- you know what is best for your pet. I will sit with them, feed them, play with them, walk them, administer medicine and/or treats or do whatever is needed to keep them healthy and happy!

About: Hello fellow animal lovers my name is Nikki. I am a self employed children's chess instructor who has spent years managing programs and caring for children and animals. I bring a high level of professionalism, responsibility, and attention to every pet I care for. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else is a big decision. My goal is to make that process as easy as possible for both you and your beloved pet. I am highly attentive to each pets individual needs, whether that means maintaining a structured routine or providing extra reassurance. Spoiling your pet is guaranteed. I don't take a one size fits all approach. Each pet receives individual care based on their personality, energy level, and routine. They deserve it! With me you will receive: *Clear and consistent communication from start to finish. *Multiple updates with photos and videos so you always know how your sweetheart is doing. *Respect for your home, your time, and your pets needs. I am obsessive about keeping your home clean and staying only in the areas designated for your pets care. *Someone who will love and care for your pet as much as you do. *A sweet 9 year old playmate named Reina who is up to date on all vaccinations. Will also be groomed before any sit. I have grown up with cats and dogs my entire life. My love of other peoples pets prompted them to begin to ask me to start dog and cat-sitting. People who are very wary of strangers in their homes have trusted me and were able to take a much needed vacation. I am so happy to be able to fufill this role. Please read the testimonials for more details about the individual pets I have cared for over the years. I am new to Rover, however I have been doing this for a very long time. I only take a limited amount of clients so can can provide the high level of care and attention your pet deserves. If you are looking for a trusted, dependable sitter I am confident you will be happy with the care I provide. Please contact me if you would like to schedule a meet and greet. I have a very flexible schedule (afternoons and evenings are ideal) Since I do not work a 9-5 I am confident we can arrange the time you need sitting. I am only a drop in and stay over sitter. I will leave your home exactly as it was and spoil your dog or cat. You will receive updates via text, email, facetime. Just let me know what your need!

About: Supplementing my childhood dog by taking care of strangers pets! If the best part of a dog’s day is dinner time or their walk I am glad I get to be the one who gives it to them :) I’m currently doing school online so I have plenty of time to spend with pets and love to have their company while I work too! It leaves me with pretty much entirely open availability have lots of experience caring for and playing with tons of dogs! The best method is playing so much that they’re too tired to get into any trouble lol!

About: I have worked at a doggy daycare since September now. I have had pets my entire life. I currently have a mixed dog and I’ve had a chocolate lab and a Lhasa Apso in the past. I am a huge animal lover! I work part-time at a doggy daycare, boarding, and grooming facility, and I recently graduated Monmouth University and am currently at Monmouth to study to be a speech-language pathologist. I wanted to spend even more time with dogs, to help the feeling of missing my own! I am always free and will make time to give your pets all the hugs and love they deserve! I would treat your dog the same I would treat my own. I would love and care for your dog because I would want someone to do the same for mine.

Jon is a cat whisperer. A cat magnet. We were worried about leaving our two 1-1/2 year old cats for 10 days to take a family visit. There was absolutely nothing to be worried about. Even the very shy cat greeted Jon at the door every day and gave him nose kisses. Your pets deserve the care of Jon.

About: I love dogs more than people 😉 and have been around them my entire life — from Silky Terriers to German Shepherds. I’m a responsible, attentive, and genuinely caring person who will treat your dog like my own. We currently do not have any animals in the home, which allows me to focus fully on your dog’s care and comfort. While we live in an apartment, we’re just a few blocks from the beach in Asbury Park and have access to excellent walking routes. I take dogs on long daily walks of at least 3 miles and am always happy to go farther if that suits your pup. I’m especially understanding of dogs who may be anxious or reactive around other dogs. I know how stressful it can be to leave a dog with behavioral sensitivities, and I’m committed to providing a safe, calm, and structured environment. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I currently work outside the home three days a week. My husband works for the city and is home daily for lunch, so your dog will never go longer than about three hours without a potty break. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I spent 12 years caring for a dog who was reactive toward other dogs, so I understand how important structure, vigilance, and clear communication are. I take instructions seriously and will follow your care and safety guidelines closely — whether that means avoiding other dogs, using specific equipment, or sticking to a familiar routine. Our home is calm and pet-focused, and we currently do not have any animals, allowing me to tailor care to your dog’s individual needs. I’m attentive, proactive, and thoughtful in my approach, and I’m committed to creating a safe, predictable environment where your dog can feel secure and relaxed.

About: My family has owned and cared for animals since I was born. You can say my family and I are animal lovers through and through. Whether it was my first poodle, my wife's rat, yes a rat(Humphrey was his name and she loooooved him), our neighbors goats, or our current duo(Terrier mix and Shichon) we are not complete unless we have a four legged friend or two to take care of. We pride ourselves on the treatment of our family members. We look forward to sharing the love we foster in our home with your loved ones. I work remote during the day and have the ability to plan walks, drop-ins or day sitting. My household is up early and nods of late. Hopefully we can be a good fit. Regardless of location playing fetch, going for a walk or just providing a good scratch on the belly or behind the ear should be expected. I understand the importance of the timeliness of meals, meds, bathroom breaks and exercise take those instructions seriously.

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 have hands on experience walking dogs through caring for my own dog, a German Shepherd, as well as regularly helping walk dogs in my neighborhood. Through these experiences, I’ve become comfortable handling dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, making sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they need while keeping them safe and happy on every walk. As a hairstylist, I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to creating and managing my own schedule. This allows me to accommodate a variety of dog walking needs and be available at different times throughout the day. I enjoy staying active, and dog walking is a great way for me to spend time doing something I genuinely love while helping pet owners ensure their dogs receive the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I have experience caring for my own German Shepherd and walking dogs in my neighborhood. I always ensure dogs are safely leashed, closely supervised, and given plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I understand that every dog is unique, and I will treat your pet with patience, kindness, and the same level of responsibility I would give my own.

About: I'm an experienced, caring, and playful sitter with a passion for providing exceptional care to dogs of all shapes, sizes, and energy levels. Whether your pup needs a running buddy or a gentle hand for a drop-in visit, I'm here to offer reliable, attentive, and fun care tailored to their unique needs. 🐶 About My Dog Experience With over 13 years of hands-on experience, I've proudly been a dog parent to two wonderful, high-energy Lab mixes—so I truly understand the dedication it takes to manage and love energetic breeds! Beyond my own dogs, I have walked and cared for countless friends' dogs, ranging from playful puppies needing potty breaks to gentle seniors requiring specialized attention. I am adept at handling everything from basic training reinforcement to complex walks and am ready to welcome your beloved dog into my care. 🌟 Why Choose Me? (The Energy Advantage!) The High-Energy Expert: Training for a half marathon means I have miles to burn! If you have a high-octane dog that needs a serious run (not just a walk), I'm your girl. I love giving dogs the focused exercise they need to be happy and well-behaved at home. Experience & Trust: With a background spanning over a decade, I bring a calm, knowledgeable presence. You can trust that I will treat your home and your dog with the utmost respect and care, ensuring their routine is maintained and their safety is always the top priority. Playful & Caring: I believe dog care should be fun! I prioritize not just exercise, but also playtime and cuddles, ensuring your dog feels loved and mentally stimulated while you're away. Services Offered 🏡 House Sitting (Your Home, Their Comfort) I stay in your home, providing around-the-clock companionship and care. This is perfect for dogs who thrive in their own environment. I manage feeding, medications, playtime, walks, and make sure they feel safe and loved until your return. 🚶 Dog Walking (Customized Exercise) From a brisk 30-minute neighborhood walk to a high-intensity run for the athletic pup, I offer personalized exercise designed to match your dog's specific needs and stamina. ⏱️ Drop-In Visits (Quick & Comprehensive) Ideal for quick check-ins, potty breaks, feeding, and a little playtime/snuggle time. I make sure their basic needs are met and they get a happy human interaction to break up their day. I look forward to meeting your furry family member and becoming their trusted caregiver! I work from home so have flexibility to work from anywhere and stop to play/walk/feed/etc. whenever is needed! I run my own consulting business so my hours are my own to build around what is needed and can flex on any given day. I am a loving pet parent myself and will treat your dog just like my own with lots of cuddles, pets and playtime. If they just need someone to be near, I can stay in your home for most of the day and try to keep life as normal for them as possible while you're away. If they crave socialization, I can also bring to play with my 2 year old lab in our fenced in yard, as needed/wanted.

About: I’ve grown up my whole life with dogs. Had a 120lb lab mix for 12 years so I am not intimidated by any dog size! I work remote 2x a week and tend to stay local on the weekends. I am available during my remote days to tend to dogs during the morning, my lunch break and after hours. I am available almost every night as well after work. I had an electric fence for my dogs growing up but am very familiar with fenced in yards as well. I am also very comfortable with crating dogs as well

Anahi is a wonderful person and sitter! She is friendly, kind, and a great communicator. I was very nervous as it was my first time using the site to find a sitter, but I made the right choice booking Anahi. I was not expecting my shy cat to interact with her right away, but from the first visit, she was sharing pictures of them playing together, and him seeking her out for affection as she walked in on the second visit. I do believe animals are a great judge of character and I will be booking her for my next trip. Highly recommend.

Alley is absolutely amazing…I have a house full of animals that she cares for when we’re away, including ones with special needs that require daily medication and extra care. I know they are in good hands with her. She really cares and goes above and beyond. I have had other care takers, but she is the best and always my first choice!
