About: My life has been surrounded by animals. Rest assured I’ll make sure to attend to your pets needs and provide any special accommodations. I'm great at communicating how your pet is doing during their stay or after my interactions with them. I am a student attending Stockton. I live in Northfield and also spend time in the summer in Wildwood Crest. My family also enjoys opening our home to care for your beloved pets. I have a large fenced in yard in order to allow your pet to exercise and roam freely. I am also available to provide services in your home as well. My home is pet friendly.

“Kierstyn is such a sweet girl! We had a super last minute trip and she was so flexible when it came to timing. We have two goldens who love walks and attention and Kierstyn gave them all her love to make sure they were comfortable while we were gone. Definitely get her phone number when you do your meet and greet-she sends the best pictures! Definitely booking with her again :) Thanks again Kierstyn”


4. Cassandra B.

“This was the first time we used Rover. Cassie was excellent and made us feel that she was the right person to take care of our babies. Although they are sweet, they are a handful sometimes when they have to be taken out for walks. The spaniel in them tends to dominate the walks. She was so sweet and sent pictures and videos and made us feel at ease.”


5. Katee E.
About: Hi my name is Katee. I love animals and I’ve owned dogs on and off my entire life so I’m very experienced in their care. I’ve dealt with dogs of all different breeds, ages and sizes. I’d be happy to help you out whether you’re on vacation or just need help while you are at work. I’m available Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday mornings and afternoons. If you need any help at other times I can work hard to accommodate you. I can also house sit for houses with other animals such as cats or birds if needed. I’m available for walks rain or shine so don’t hesitate to book. I can’t wait to meet you and your dog! I hope to hear from you soon! I have mostly flexible hours during the week as right now I only have prior commitments on Tuesday and Thursday from 12:00-4:30. Any other time I am happy to accommodate you and your furry friend! The most important part of pet sitting is to make sure your pet is safe and comfortable. My goal is to minimize disruption to their usual life and routine and keep your pet happy and healthy.


6. Quinn M.

“I was really nervous about leaving my dog and 2 cats, however Haley and Quinn were very responsive to my calls and requests. They are Amazing. We have one cat that is very skittish, Haley and Quinn are able to warm him over within a short period of time. When we arrived home, the animals were happy and healthy and our home was well taken care of We would recommend Haley and Quinn to everyone.”


7. Bridget F.
“Bridget is the best cat sitter I have ever had. I’ve used her services multiple times now for various length trips. Every time it has been amazing! She is very attentive, respectful, and always sends updates with photos of my fur babies. I know they are being fully cared for when Bridget is taking care of them.”


8. Brooke H.

“Thank you!”


9. Stephanie H.
“Stephanie would make the ideal pet sitter! She will take the all the time needed to care for whatever animals are under her care. She has two cats of her own and obsesses over them! Stephanie even volunteers her free time at our local animal rescue/farm! I would absolutely recommend her to pet sit for you!”




10. Mae S.

“Mae is awesome!! We were scrambling to find someone to watch our two 1yr old cats a few days before leaving and Mae was kind enough to help us out last minute. I can tell Mae truly understands the nature of cats and all the quirks that come with them. She really does a great job of catering to their unique personalities. My one cat is usually extremely shy with strangers but seemed to warm up to Mae quicker than with most people. Mae left everything very clean and sent a bunch of cute photos of the kitties. She even printed some physical copies of the photos for us! Thanks for everything!! <3”


11. Andrew S.

“Andrew did everything he was asked and more. Pups loved him. He came to my house 3x to take care of dogs and even adjusted his schedule when I had to change it due to surgery. I hope he will come back!”


12. Tyler S.

“Tyler was reliable and super easy to communicate with while setting up our Rover dates and throughout our trip. He was so good to Murphy and we felt immediately comfortable that he was in good hands!”

“Reliable, professional and polite! CJ did a great job with my timid doggo and I’m so truly glad to have connected. Always appreciate the high quality walks when housesitting!”


14. Alyssa J.
About: I’m currently a dog groomer at Sun Dog Grooming. I’ve owned all types of animals my whole life from mice to horses, and I’ve always grown up around multiple dogs of all sizes! I love being around animals and would love to help make sure your fur babies are happy and comfortable whether it’s weekly walks or keeping them company while you’re on vacation! I currently work part-time so my schedule is very open to take care of your fur babies! I’m available most weekdays and I have full availability on the weekends. Im very comfortable with pets of all types and sizes- feeding, watering, administering any medication, and fulfilling any special instructions. Your home will be left exactly as I found it, and I’m happy to send text updates/pictures of your pets. Communication is key! I’m also more than happy to do a meet and greet with your pet before booking a service.


15. Maggie L.

“Maggie was GREAT. We first connected in the late afternoon of the day before Maggie was to start sitting. Even though Maggie lives far away, she agreed to make the long drive that night, so that we could have a meet and greet. At the meet and greet at 9pm, Maggie picked up very quickly on all of the dog’s routines, and what I expected. She also explained to me when she would be coming and going. Once she was here, she communicated with me regularly throughout her 6 day stay here. Throughout my vacation I was totally confident that Maggie was taking great care of my dogs and house. She even took good care of my outdoor plants. I will definitely have Maggie care for my dogs again. I recommend her highly. She was GREAT.”


16. Jada L.

“Jada was wonderful! She sent me pictures during the time she spent with them and updated me as to what was going on. I would definitely recommend Jada!”


17. Bradford O.
About: I’ve had pets my entire life til about two years ago. I had two cats in my lifetime as well as my best friend as a kid who was my yellow Lab. I also am the go to man for my entire family to pet sit their dogs growing up. I currently work during the week and sometimes I’m off Friday. Thursday, Friday and Saturday, are the main days you can 100% count on me.

18. Gabrielle W.
“Gabrielle has watched my dog sparky on numerous occasions and I’ve never had any issues. Sparky is very particular dog and can be a lot to handle, but she’s always been able to manage him. Even when I go out of town, she is able to keep him overnights and on the weekends without issue.”




19. Fred L.
“I would highly recommend Fred as a dog sitter. Not only is he extremely responsible, but he is also very loving. He has two dogs of his own and cares for them very well. They are happy, playful and healthy dogs and he would do anything to give them the best life they could have. He loves all animals so I would definitely trust him with other people's dogs. They will absolutely be in great hands with Fred. Please give Fred the opportunity to sit for your dogs as they will be well taken care of. You will definitely be worry-free having Fred dog sit your loved ones!”


20. Dara B.
