“Chloe is amazing! My super shy cat warmed up to her and was waiting for her at the door by the end of her visit. I would recommend her 10/10 to anyone. She provided peace of mind and was thorough with her photos and communication. Thank you Chloe!!”


“Christina exceeded my expectations with her care. Upon returning from my trip, my apartment did not smell like cat litter or poop. The cat litter area and food area was super tidy, and my cat looked happy and healthy. Christina was very communicative and detailed throughout her visits, and made me feel at ease while I was on my trip that Aria (my cat) was safe and well fed. Upon meeting Christina she was super professional, prompt, and very attentive to all of the details I gave her about feeding info and care. I would definitely book again and can recommend her to anyone who’s looking for professional care and reliability!”


“Peter was very attentive with Meeko making sure his needs were taken care of! I received lots of updates and pics which made me feel reassured Meeko was in good hands. Thank you!”


About: I have spent my entire life around animals. My home has been shared with cats, dogs, snakes, birds, a rabbit, an iguana. I was also a veterinarian assistant for over a year. I took care of any and every animal that walked through our doors; cats, dogs, ferrets, birds, rabbits. Animals of all sizes. I walked, fed, bathed and cleaned up after them. I cared for them as if they were my own and will continue to do so with every animal entrusted to my care! I am currently working from home but my schedule can be flexible. I daily job and walk times work around each other so please notify me at least 2 days in advance of your booking date and I will try my best to make it work for you! As stated on my profile, I have a strict 7 day cancellation policy applied and it is automatically enforced by the Rover app. This is due to the nature of my day job as I may need to adjust those hours when scheduling a booking of any kind. Please be mindful of this, thank you. I always make sure their sleeping area is clean and tidy and I always make sure there is available fresh water. Food is given at a schedule dependent on the individuals needs. I give plenty of time for play/attention to ensure that they always feel loved and never lonely. Sometimes they want to be left alone and I respect that as well.

About: I am retired and have recently relocated to northern jersey. I am an avid animal lover. I have always had my own pets. Unfortunately, I had to say goodbye to my fur baby of 13 1/2 years and am not quite ready to adopt at this time but sincerely miss having an animal in my life. I am helping to care for a dear friend’s cat and although truthfully I am more a "dog" person, I now find myself beginning to appreciate "cats”. Cats are really fascinating (and a lot different) than dogs. I believe that I am a person who you can trust with one of your most prized possessions, your "fur-babies". I love walking, so dog walking is a win win!! Drop in visits are also no problem!! Unfortunately. I am unable to offer pet sitting at this time. I love to walk and especially enjoy walking for a furry companion. Home visits for either dogs and cats are also something I enjoy doing. I am currently unavailable for pet sitting. However, I do prefer walking small or medium dogs and will give them the exercise and/or company they need.

About: I’ve had both dogs and cats throughout my life and have always taken pride in giving them the best care possible. Over the years, my love for animals has only grown—especially for cats. As I got older, that bond became even stronger, which eventually led me to having four cats of my own, all of whom I love deeply and care for like family. What sets me apart is my genuine connection with animals and my understanding of their unique personalities and needs. Whether it's keeping a shy cat comfortable, giving a senior pet extra patience, or just making sure every little detail is handled with care, I treat every pet as if they were my own. As someone who works from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of free time throughout the day and week to focus on pet care. My remote work is structured in a way that gives me the freedom to plan around pet visits and provide consistent, attentive care. Whether it’s morning check-ins, midday playtime, or evening visits, I’m able to accommodate a variety of needs and make sure your pet gets the time, love, and attention they deserve! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and personality so I can create a calm, secure environment that feels familiar and stress-free. In your home, I respect your space and follow all instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, playtime, or keeping the litter box clean and tidy. I make sure pets feel safe and cared for, and I always keep you updated with regular check-ins and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. At my home, pets have a quiet, cat-friendly space where they can relax without stress or overcrowding. I’m mindful of keeping things clean, secure, and peaceful—especially for more sensitive or shy cats. My goal is always to treat your pet (and your home) with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.

“Lisbeth is a great person with an awesome heart! She takes such good care of our pup. She’s great at communication and she looks out for our pups well being. Nothing but great things to say about Lisbeth. Thank you Lisbeth!!!”



About: My heart doesn’t know any other way-when it comes to animals, I love them instantly and unconditionally. I have 18+ years of experience caring for animals, starting from a very young age. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have cared for both Pitbulls and French Bulldogs but to me, breed doesn’t matter. I truly love all animals, big or small. I’m bilingual and speak both English and Spanish, which helps me connect with a wider range of pet parents and provide clear, open communication. I’ve always been the go-to person for anything pet-related. My family calls me the dog whisperer because I have a natural bond with animals, especially dogs. Whether it’s advice, health concerns, or just being a listening ear, I’m the one family and friends trust with their fur babies. My soul dog was a red nose pitbull named Bricks- he taught me what real love is. Since then, I’ve raised three amazing French Bulldogs: Juicy, Kuma, and Tron. I also had the incredible experience of raising two litters from birth- Juicy had 5 puppies and Kuma had 6. I provided round-the-clock care until they were ready for their forever homes. I still keep in touch with the families- they became part of mine. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I regularly pet-sit for friends, family, and neighbors-dogs and cats alike. One of my most consistent companions is Max, my neighbor’s dog, whom I’ve been caring for for over a year. I give him daily medication and make sure he always feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I’ve also cared for a bearded dragon, who was part of our family for 11 wonderful years. I’m familiar with reptile needs, feeding, handling, and tank care. I also have experience caring for a cockatiel, including feeding, changing water, and maintaining a calm, happy environment for birds. I’m experienced with: Giving medication Drop-in visits Long walks and playtime Baths and basic grooming Feeding routines and crate care Newborn puppy care and socialization Basic reptile and bird care I truly treat every pet like they’re my own because in my heart, they are. The amount of kisses, cuddles, love, and attention your pet will receive is immense. I go above and beyond to make sure every animal feels safe, comforted, and cared for like family. I’m also very communicative and will keep you updated with photos, videos, and messages so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. You can trust me to provide more than just care. I offer love, safety, and genuine companionship. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life! I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent attention, walks, feedings, and lots of love throughout the day. Whether it’s early morning potty breaks, midday walks, or evening snuggles, I can easily adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. Being home full-time means your pet will never feel alone and will always have someone nearby to care for and comfort them. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m visiting yours, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. At my home, pets have plenty of room to play and relax-I have a large fenced-in yard that's perfect for safe outdoor time and supervised play. If your pet is crate-trained or needs a crate for naps or bedtime, I can easily accommodate that too. I follow each pet’s routine closely-feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special care instructions-to make sure they feel at home. If I’m in your home, I respect your space and ensure everything is done exactly how you’d like. I’m also very communicative and will send regular updates, photos, and videos so you always know your pet is safe and well cared for. I treat every pet like family and work hard to create a calm, loving, and secure environment, whether they’re with me or in their own home.

About: Hi, I'm Vivian! I've been caring for pets for over 10 years—everything from energetic puppies to wise senior pets. I have personal experience with a variety of breeds, including Pomskies, Labradors, and cats with special needs. Whether it's daily walks, feeding routines, medication administration, or just giving belly rubs and playtime, I treat every pet like they're part of my family. I'm attentive, reliable, and always aim to make your pet feel safe and loved while you're away. I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs, and I take the time to get to know them and follow your care instructions to a tee. Let me help make your time away stress-free—for both you and your pet! Pet care is my full-time focus, and working from home gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Whether it's morning walks, midday playtime, or evening routines, I’m able to stay present and responsive to each pet’s needs. My remote work lifestyle means I can offer dependable care, accommodate last-minute requests, and maintain a calm, reassuring environment for pets. Caring for animals is more than part of my routine—it’s something I genuinely love and prioritize every day. Whether your pet is crashing at my place or I’m swinging by yours, I’m all about making them feel safe, happy, and loved. My home is pet-friendly, cozy, and full of good vibes—perfect for lounging, playing, and getting spoiled with attention. I stick to their usual routines to keep things familiar and stress-free (yes, even the quirky ones!). During drop-in visits, I make sure your pets get everything they need—from meals and belly rubs to a little playtime and TLC. I treat every pet like they’re my own and every visit like it’s the highlight of my day (because it is). Basically, your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priority—whether they’re hanging out with me or waiting for you at home!

“I have a 130 lb female Great Dane who isn’t the easiest to handle, but Bryndon was absolutely amazing with her. Highly recommend to anyone — especially if you have a big pup who needs a little extra attention!”

About: Passionate about pets since childhood, I've had the joy of growing up alongside two beloved dogs, learning firsthand the ins and outs of responsible pet care and the deep bond that forms between human and animal. Today, as a proud dog owner myself, I bring not only years of personal experience but also a genuine love and dedication to providing the best care possible for furry companions. Additionally, my experience extends beyond just dogs; through house sitting, I've had the privilege of caring for both dogs and cats, ensuring their well-being, happiness, and security while their owners are away. I currently work full time, but I make plenty of room in my schedule for pups—especially on weekends and Tuesdays, when I have the most flexibility. Starting in July, I’ll also be available weekday mornings, which means even more time for walks, cuddles, and playtime! Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or some loving company while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I’m responsible, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. I’d love to meet your furry friend! Ensuring a safe and trustworthy environment is my top priority. I adhere strictly to a leash policy, ensuring that no pet leaves the house without proper restraint. In fenced areas, I conduct a thorough yard check before allowing any dogs outside, ensuring there are no potential hazards. Additionally, I double-check all doors to confirm they are securely closed, preventing any pets from wandering out unsupervised. With these measures in place, you can trust that your pets are always safe and secure under my care.

About: As a high school teacher, I bring a reliable and responsible approach to every dog I care for. I have extensive hands-on experience, including caring for senior dogs and house-sitting for multiple families in the area. Dogs naturally gravitate towards me, and I pride myself on providing a fun, loving, and safe environment. Your pet's happiness and safety are always my top priorities. My weekday availability is now after 4 PM. I am also available on many weekends and holidays, and I have wide-open availability during the summer months. Your pet's safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. I'll ensure secure walks, follow all your instructions precisely, and maintain a respectful, clean environment in your home. You can trust my dependability and commitment to your dog's well-being.

About: I have been caring for animals my entire life. As a 10 year old child, I was fostering dogs while managing my schoolwork and evolving social life. I have had and cared for many different types of pets, including (but not limited to): dogs, cats, birds, hermit crabs, and hamsters. As a 28 year old adult, I now have a sweet dog named Zelda (GSD/Husky mix, 5yrs, 60lbs), whom I adopted at 3 months. I trained her myself and had her fully housebroken with no accidents within 5 months. I have also cared for and assisted in training my mother's dog Sumo (St. Bernard, ~9yrs, 165lbs. With my life experience and graduate degree in psychology, I am very capable of handing whatever comes my way. I look forward to meeting you and your baby! I am working part-time on the weekends and on Tuesday, Wednesdays, and Thursday nights. Therefore, I have a great deal of time to dedicate to your loved ones and make sure they are well cared for! I regularly take my dogs out for relief and exercise in my yard. They get regular feedings and water bowl cleanings to make sure they are well fed and hydrated. When it gets hot, I make sure to add ice cubes to their water, provide them with pupsicles (frozen dog safe ice cream!), and keep the AC running. I always make sure to build in playtime and snuggles to make them feel loved and cared for.
