“Elaine did a great job with my dog . He was safe & comfortable. Put me at ease with communication and the notes & photos that she sent every visit. Thank you so much for taking care of my furbaby while I was away. Will book again if needed for future care.”


“Millie loved her visits with Sarah! Sarah took excellent care of Millie with multiple visits each day, walks, and playtime. We knew Millie was in great hands with Sarah and we highly recommend her!”


“Richie is great. I have booked his services a couple of times to visit our home to take care of our dog Pepper. Richie is reliable, and stays in communication by sending me photos and texts on each visit. Ensured Pepper was fed, had plenty of water, gave treats, and allergy medication. It gives us peace of mind that Pepper is well taken care of while we are away. Also, Richie brought in our mail and packages. If you're looking for someone to care for your furry family member, consider Richie.”

About: I’ve had dogs in my home since I was 4 years old, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. Beyond my personal experience, I’ve also worked at multiple pet shelters in both New Jersey and Arizona, where I cared for animals of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a shy senior dog, I know how to create a calm, loving, and safe environment. I treat every pet like family and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. I’m currently home from Arizona State University and have a very open and flexible schedule. Whether your pet needs early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight care, I’m available and ready to help. I can easily accommodate last-minute requests and am committed to giving your pet consistent attention and care throughout the day. I prioritize safety by following each pet’s routine and needs closely, whether in my home or yours. I keep a calm, clean, and secure environment and always communicate clearly with pet parents. Your pet’s comfort and well-being are my top priorities, and I treat every home with respect and care.

“"Booking with Rover and finding the perfect dog sitter was an absolute delight! From start to finish, the experience was seamless and stress-free. The platform's intuitive interface made it easy to browse through a diverse range of experienced sitters, each accompanied by detailed profiles and glowing reviews from other pet owners. After selecting the perfect match for my furry friend, communication was effortless, and I felt reassured knowing that my beloved pet was in capable hands. The updates and photos provided throughout my dog's stay further solidified my confidence in Rover's exceptional service. I highly recommend Rover to any pet owner seeking reliable and loving care for their furry family members."”

I have watched family members and neighbors dogs many times before. Im currently working part time and looking for something productive to do while I am not working. I saw rover and thought this is perfect. I have a big yard for dogs, I go on lots of walks daily and I have four amazing fur babies of my own !

About: I have had dogs (horses, cats and other animals too) all of my life. I am loving, caring and trustworthy and will give your dog lots of attention. Below are the services I offer: * Dog Walking - I can come to your home and walk your dog several times a day * Dog Sitting Services - your home or mine * Park Adventures and Off-Leash Walks - I can take your dog to the park for some refreshing outdoor time. For the more adventurous, I offer off-leash walks to ensure your energetic dog gets the exercise and freedom they deserve. * Medical Expertise - having cared for a diabetic dog, I am proficient at administering insulin shots. * Training - while I am not a professional dog trainer, I have trained my dogs and am currently working on agility training too. * Special Needs - if you have special needs or requests, I am happy to accomodate your wishes. I am home all day and evening and I have a very flexible schedule. I was laid off from my job and so have tons of time to be with your fury friend. I am currently working to build out a PT consulting business along with my dog care business. I have one dog at home. While I do not have a fenced yard, I have a large yard (1 acre) and plenty of room to play ball, frisbee, or just roam around. I live in a quite safe neighborhood and take my dog for long walks. I have a car and can pick up your dog or take your dog to a dog park, or for off-leash walks if you prefer that.

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.
