“Sure! Here’s a heartfelt review you can use for Helene: Helene has been an absolutely amazing dog walker for my stubborn pup, Luna! She is incredibly patient, kind, and truly understands Luna’s needs. It’s clear she loves what she does, and her gentle approach has made such a difference in Luna’s confidence and happiness. I always feel at ease knowing Luna is in such great hands. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker, I can’t recommend Helene enough!”

About: I have the ability to reinforce basic commands like sit, stay, and recall during walks or sitting sessions. I have the ability to channel their boundless energy in a productive way, whether through play or structured exercise. I have a 11 year old pit bull which gives me experience with caring for a senior dog but understanding the slower pace, possible joint pain, or health issues that may require extra care. Being observant of subtle signs of discomfort, such as limping & notifying the owner if needed. Knowledge of how to administration oral medications & liquids. I am currently an entrepreneur which gives me more free time to provide the necessary care for your pet care. With such a flexible schedule I’m able to be available any day & anytime My two dogs are fenced it at home where they have a nice big yard to exercise & run around. I also take them on frequent walks especially the senior dog to be able to be more mobile on his legs.

Taking care of animals brings me so much joy. Theres really nothing like the love of a pet. I am meticulously clean, I am very detail oriented and treat the dogs I care for as if they were my own. I have a few clients I house sit for and will consider on a case-by-case basis if I feel I am the right fit for you and your pet. Thank you!

About: If you care enough to be here on Rover seeking a pet sitter, you must feel the same as I do; your pet is a family member. As a former veterinary technician, I can attest this is not the case with all people. Whether you use my services or not, I respect you very much for being here and appreciate your devotion to your pet. That being said, my commitment to taking care of animals reaches no bounds. I am a firm believer our pets don't live long enough, and for that reason any moment we can make special for them we should. I want each visit with your pet to be special. I will gladly send you video or text updates if requested. In short, what I want to offer is top-notch veterinary trained experience at an affordable rate. I welcome the opportunity to meet your pet(s)! I invite you to meet my pet family in the pictures below. Personally, I own a very active ten year old whippet pit bull mix. She has special needs and requires six small feedings a day as well as IBS management during times of transition. I have a two year old son who drops food often and I must be diligent about making sure she is not eating his food. I understand pets can be unpredictable and move fast when motivated as a result. It is important to foresee what negative things can happen so I make sure to be proactive while caring for my pets and others as well.

About: Note: We are currently training our new dog so best services to book are drop-in visits, walks, or boarding at your home. However, some exceptions may be possible for care at our home, feel free to send me a message to discuss, thank you! 👋 Spoil your well-behaved pup in a lap of luxury with a HUGE 1-acre fenced yard that s/he can roam free in anytime they’d like. Conveniently located just off Route 17, we are a mature, responsible, and drama-free dog auntie and uncle who are both home full time. Before requesting a stay, please read my “About” section to see if we are a good fit for each other! Ps. I don’t charge if you are late to pickup by a few hours, I can be flexible for pickups. New Rover Customers: Use my referral link to get $20 off your first service https://www.rover.com/sit/melindac23 I do sometimes get requests to watch pups in NYC but I’m currently home in NJ full-time. The care I provide is the same level of care I used to provide for my own dog. My friends’ furbabies affectionately call me “auntie” :) I understand how being away from your loved one can cause stress or anxiety (unfortunately, we had a bad experience with a sitter once, so I personally relate to this feeling all too well). I can provide multiple updates a day (or less) if you’d like — photos, videos, and even video calls — whatever will help you feel that s/he is safe and well cared for. We have a unique property, a huge, park-like fully-fenced yard on a cul-de-sac street (but the fence is only 4 ft high, please confirm that your dog cannot jump it). I have a medium size crate if your pups like them. Multiple dog beds throughout the house and no more than 5 stairs anywhere. I’m equipped to take in two dogs at a time, but I don’t have to if you prefer your pup to have a solo stay.

About: I have been caring for dogs since we got our own pet dog when I was 8. Since then, we have fostered many puppies, and I have become a volunteer raiser and sitter for Guiding Eyes for the Blind. I have lots of experience with short term sits, as well as having a puppy house guest for extended periods of time. I am home from college for the summer, so I have free time throughout the day to tend to your pets! I am available for house sitting, home visits, or walking your pet any day of the week! I am familiar with exercising and entertaining pets, or practicing any training you may request. I also make a great snuggle buddy for your pets whether on the furniture or on the floor :)

“Fionnuala is wonderful! If I could give her 10 stars, I would. She walked Bailey exactly as requested and a neighbor even commented to me what a great job she did I. Following my instructions when approaching another dog! I would hire her again in a heartbeat!”


About: I had an Akita for almost 10 years and have had many dogs in the past. I took her on long walks and gave her baths and fed her. I would also have to give her medicine occasionally when prescribed. She was the best dog I could’ve ever asked for. I am currently working part time but I am available most of the week during the day. I would love to fill my mornings with activities. If instructions are provided I will do what is required of me. I have a huge fenced in backyard if boarding is required at home.

“Jennifer did a great job taking our dog on a couple walks. It was really nice of her to help us out last minute too!”


“Priscilla continues to be the best and someone I can truly rely on. She recently walked my dog, which was a first and will definitely not be the last! She took him on over a mile in 30 minutes and was so careful about locking up after. She is so trustworthy and friendly and in that short time, she sent so many pictures of their walk together. So grateful for her!”


“Kayla was patient and kind to our extremely anxious rescue. Highly recommend!”


About: I love dogs, and that is a total understatement. Dogs have been a part of my life ever since I can remember. I grew up treating Schnauzers, Terriers of all sorts, and later Labradoodles as members of my family. I’ve always been willing to help out in any way possible when a friend needed help walking and taking care of their fur babies. I will treat yours like a member of my own family. I’m a teacher, so my summer is quite free to care for your fur baby. I’m grateful for the opportunity to connect and care for your dog. I will set aside both time for your dog to get cared for, fed and do their business, as well as play and give your fur baby the attention it deserves.

About: As a 4-time Great Dane owner, I am responsible and capable of caring for dogs XS-XL. I can handle anything- even puppy or senior care! I currently work part-time, so I am available most of the day and the week to walk, play with, or feed your pups if need be! I currently care for my dog with daily walks, weekly training, and daily mental/physical exercises to drain energy, and can do the same for your pup! I’ll have your fur-baby sleeping peacefully until you come home!

Michael K.
“Michael cared for my two Golden Retreiver dogs while my family went on a week long cruise. I was able to enjoy my time away so much more knowing our two boys were being cared for by the best. I received picture updates throughout the whole week for piece of mind too. When we got home, the boys were as happy as could be. They had their own little guys vacation too! Michael genuinely cares for all animals and takes the time to give them all the attention they need. He has worked with veterinarians before. With his medical knowledge, I feel my animals are completely safe in his care.”

Kassandra S.
“Kassandra is the biggest animal lover I know! She cares deeply her dogs and has been serving as the primary caretaker and trainer for her Great Dane since he was a puppy. Kassandra's love for animals extends beyond her own pet, though, as she loves my dogs as if they were her own, and the feeling is absolutely mutual. I cannot recommend Kassandra enough!”

I reached out to Soo last minute in the morning and she responded right away! My dog immediately fell in love with her and her professionalism and passion for dogs was obvious from the start! Will definitely recommend her to care for your furry friends !

I reached out to Fionnuala very last minute to walk my dog the next day for a week. She came over to meet us the day before. She was very reliable and responsive and would use her again.

Helene has been walking my girl Luna for the past few months, and honestly, I couldn’t ask for anyone better. Luna is sweet but definitely has her quirks. She’s a a tad bit sassy (when it comes to other dogs), super curious, and full of energy. Helene just gets her. And since she's been walking her Luna has been less reactive to people walking by and anything on wheels. With the updates she sends after walks, it’s so clear she truly cares. Luna goes nuts when she sees her. Her tail wags like crazy and she does her strong, happy dance/jump at the door. Now Luna is even aware what time she'll be getting her walk lol. I trust Helene completely. She's reliable, communicative, and so loving with Luna. If you’re looking for someone who will love your dog like their own and handle their "unique" personality with patience and joy, she's basically it!
