Lisa went out of her way to care for my pets. She braved the snowstorm of 2026 to make her appointments. She spent extra time with the dog, changed the cat litter, and cleaned the rabbit cage. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet nanny.

My first time ever using Rover and I feel I am spoiled with Hadija! She is magnificent at communicating and takes extra care of my one dog with severe anxiety. I can say enough about her.

About: I have been an avid animal lover since I received my first puppy as a child. I taught my beloved spaniel how to sit and lay down, and he taught me patience and responsibility. I cared for him until he sadly left us at 17 years old. My experience taught me that our fur babies are here for such a short time, and they deserve the absolute best we can give them. I have extended this mindset into my care of several other pets throughout my life including my four cats and bonus fur babies that I pet sit. My current clients range from small to large breed dogs. I have gained extensive experience with senior pets and the special needs that come with them as well as pets with medical needs. As a college student working part time, I hope to expand my business and do what I love full time. I currently work 9-5 part-time, leaving me with plenty of free time including weekends. I am flexible in my schedule and availability, and always strive to provide pets in my care with as much attention and care as they would receive in their homes. I have a fenced in yard and plenty of indoor space. I have four friendly cats of my own but available space to keep pets in my care separate in the case that they are less then enthusiastic about cats. I offer in house pet sitting as well to those who prefer their fur babies to remain in their own environment. I have a valid NJ Driver's license and a reliable vehicle large enough to transport big breeds. Additionally I have plenty of experience administering medications and treatments safely.

About: My name is Laura and I’m what you might call a true animal lover! I have owned and cared for pets for the last 20 years. I have experience with newborn kittens, cats, puppies, and dogs of all sizes (and hamsters, guinea pigs and mice!). I am comfortable around animals of all ages, sizes, and needs. I know each animal is unique and I take this special consideration when it comes to caring for them. I am quick to respond to you and your pet’s changing needs, have flexible hours and make prompt communication and updates on how your pet is doing a priority. I know that pets aren’t just animals, but a part of your family and I will treat them as if they were my own. I have flexible work hours during the week and can make taking care of your pet a priority morning, noon, or night. I keep my schedule up to date! I am able to meet you and your pet’s needs where they are. I am a confident dog walker and have no issues with dogs of any size on a leash. I do not let strangers approach a dog I am walking. If you crate your animal, I can do that as well.

About: I’ve had animals ever since I was a child. It’s made me grow up to love them and would do anything for one in need. I’ve rescued multiple off the streets(including rabbits lol). I have my own pets whom are all rescues that I love so much. I only work nights on the weekends. I would love to have something to do involving animals during the days while my kids are in school. Fenced yard. Animal lover home. I also have friendly pets to give your fur baby some companionship while over but also have enough space if that’s not what they like.

About: I’ve been around dogs since birth! I had an English mastiff when I was born and I have another one now. I’ll no stranger to small dogs as I’ve had other dogs like pug’s and labs. I know how to take care of a dog, get them to follow direction, and keep them good company. No dog is a challenge for me and I’m willing to work with any dog. I currently am very open and flexible! I can work with pretty much any schedule you need me for! Open availability at the moment! :) In my own home I feed my cat, brush, clean up after him, and anything else he needs. Likewise when I have a dog I do all the same and if needed give oral meds or ear drops. Of course, most of all give the love they need and deserve

About: I've been a professional pet sitter/house sitter/dog walker since I moved to New Jersey in 2022. I'm looking to expand my client base, so I'm joining Rover. Prior to working as a pet sitter, I worked at an indoor dog park in Seattle. I'm comfortable with large and small dogs...we have two Great Pyrenees mixes and two small dogs at home, as well as two cats and a tortoise Located in Fanwood and serving the surround area. Pictured, above, are some of my happy clients. I'm a full-time pet/house sitter, so I'm available for walks & visits 7 days a week from 8am-10pm. Happy to take on one-time walks and regular visits. Safety for the pet is my top priority. I always make sure that gates are closed before I let pets out, and I'm always careful to not let flight risk animals out accidentally. I don't do pack walks, and I tend to steer clear of other dogs while out on walks. Feel free to reach out with questions!

I was impressed with Kim! From day one, the cats bonded with her, which is unusual, especially when meeting someone new. She went above and beyond doing what was asked, including crushing pills, giving them attention if they wanted it and opening the door so they could get some fresh air and sun through the screen. By the third day they were following her around the house. She's light on her feet and very patient with them. To add perspective, when my adult children come home, the cats hide, even though two of the cats grew up with the kids. Before the week was over, I had already booked her for several other times this summer!

About: Hi, my name is Gabby! I’ve had dogs since the age of 7 and they’ve been such a huge part of my life growing up. I currently watch my cousins dog (a pit rescue), which is a total handful, but I always give him back totally tuckered out and it’s hard to leave him. I also have my own dog named Louie, a terrier mix, also a rescue and he gets along great with other dogs. I can take your dog along nice trails or a good walk around the neighborhood. I’m home full-time and would love to have your pet stay with me! I can board them, come to you, or just stop in every now and then to make sure they’re doing ok!

Shauntia quickly became our dog's best friend, and I am sure that your dog will luv her too! Miles is our 170 lb. Great Dane (lovable, gentle, but BIG) so we were impressed with how quickly Shauntia built a great rapport with him. When you invite Shauntia to care for your pet, you can be sure that it wont simply be a "visit" but it will be time that your pet will genuinely enjoy spending with her.

About: I've had dogs all my life, the most recently i had a awesome miniature poodle who I was fortunate to love and care for 17 years, so I am familiar with the needs of senior dogs. My schedule is fairly open every day after about 9 or ten am. I'd like a regular opportunity, but one offs will be good as well I am available for pet sitting at the clients home, but due to younger kids I can accommodate pets at my home. Walking and feeding and playing is ideal

About: I’ve been caring for dogs ever since I got Daisy, at just 3 months old. Raising and training her has given me hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, basic training, and providing lots of love and attention.

With summer break here, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the care and attention they deserve. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat your dog like part of the family while you’re away! As a middle school teacher, I have a very flexible schedule during the summer some of availability throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and pet sitting. I’m available, evenings, and weekends, before June 13, and I can easily adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving, and reliable environment where pets can feel secure and cared for while you’re away. I understand how important routines, patience, and trust are, and I’ll make sure your dog receives plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, administering basic routines, and keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind.
