He treats her as if she is his own and it is clear that he truly cares for animals. Aside from this he is very skilled in handling her and it has made a difference In her training and development (especially on the leash!). Chris is highly highly recommended - book him with confidence!”

About: I have had pets of all sorts since I was little and helped take care of even more. From the time I was 7 to high school, my home had fish and 2 parakeets, Flyer and Stripe. My longest living gold fish, Swimmer, was my very first pet at 7 years old and almost saw me graduate high school. I was taught from a young age how to care for these animals and helped in the maintenance of their habitats. It was my job to clean the parakeet's cage (with adult supervision), give them fresh water and food, and dedicate time in my day to enrich their lives. The last one was always the easiest part as I loved seeing them play. Since college I raised 2 Havanese puppies, Manny and Mo. They were potty trained, exposed to new visitors in the home, and taught tricks. When I moved out of my parents, I knew my home would not be a home without a furry friend and eventually adopted Scarlett, my first cat. A few years after this girl convinced me I was ready for my second cat, Sophie. In between all of my own pets, I have pet sitted for friends, family, and neighbors. Golden retrievers, parrots, bunnies, labradors, pitbulls, and have loved each and every one of them. I would like to continue this level of care for your family members and show them that they will be cared for until you return. Currently, this line of work is my main goal. I will be looking to fill as much of my time caring for your family members. As of now I have no explicit time during the week which I am unavailable. Please contact me for times and we can discuss what is on my schedule the days when you need me most. I currently offer caring for your pet at your home. I can also stay overnight for pets who require that extra level of care. I am flexible to multiples visits or staying with them at all times. It all depends on what you need and your pet need to have the best care.
“Thank you!!”
About: I currently live with 3 dogs and 2 cats. I have decades of experience living with and caring for animals of all kinds, from puppies and kittens to seniors and those with illness and special needs. I am skilled with giving meds, including injections to both cats and dogs, and I have engaged in formal obedience training with own my dogs with professional trainers. I own a business as my primary job and have a fairly flexible schedule. Let me know when you need services and I can usually fit it in to my day or evening. I listen carefully to, and will follow, each client's instructions and preferences, and can reinforce any training the pet is being given. I care for each pet as if they were my own.
About: With 5 years in the pet care industry, I have cultivated a deep understanding of animal behavior, health needs, and enrichment strategies.

About: I had a 14 year old pitbull that was my primary responsibility since we got him as a puppy. I have also dog sat for friends in the past including puppies and a senior dog that was deaf and blind. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority. Whether it’s starting the day with a morning walk, stopping by for a midday check-in, or winding down with some evening playtime, I plan my schedule to make sure pets get the attention and care they need. I’m flexible and committed, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. When I stay in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I’d want in mine. I follow your pet’s routine closely — from mealtimes and walks to medications and bedtime rituals — to keep them comfortable and happy while you’re away. I’ll also keep things clean, send regular updates, and handle any extras like mail or plants if needed. My goal is to make your time away stress-free, knowing your pet (and home) are in great hands.
“Miranda was great! My dog absolutely loved her. She was super organized with our meet and greet and took plenty of notes which I loved. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Lauren did an excellent job adapting to our Dog as he didn't want to go for a walk in the cold. So he had a quick bathroom break and some cuddles on the couch!”
About: I raised my dog as a child for 15 years then raised another dog as an adult for 15 years. I cannot own a dog right now, so would love the opportunity to care for dogs again. I am back in central Jersey, taking care of my Mom full time, giving me available opportunity for dogs 24/7. I have no full nor part time job, so much much down time here. I have a large empty townhouse in central Jersey with only one other inhabitant-sweet adorable senior Mom. There is an outdoor patio and courtyard, that leads to the grounds of the community where there is plenty of green grass to run and walk on. We have a large empty room that I can play fetch with a dog, and throw a toy.
About: Excited to shower your dogs with love, regardless of their size! Having grown up with Jack Russels, Beagles, and Labs, I've been the primary caregiver and understand the responsibilities of being a dog parent. Handling multiple dogs at once is something I'm comfortable with. Being an active person, I'm all in for outdoor runs, playful yard sessions with their favorite toy, or just cozying up for a movie night. With a flexible schedule, I can easily adapt to you and your dog(s)' needs. Transportation is a breeze as I have my own car. As a self-employed individual working from home, my schedule is incredibly flexible, providing ample time to care for and engage with your pups. Living with multiple pets throughout my life has taught me the ins and outs of entering and exiting homes without any escapees. I'm also more than happy to assist in maintaining a crate schedule. Looking forward to meeting your furry friends! As a self-employed individual working from home, my schedule is incredibly flexible, providing ample time to care for and engage with your pups or kitties. I have always lived with multiple pets... so I know how to enter and exit a home without any escapee's. I also have no issues helping you maintain a crate schedule.

“Kristin is a dog lover through and through. She provides the best care for her three boys (2 Boston Terriers and a Japanese Chin). As a dog lover myself, I'm often asking her for advice when it comes to my dogs. She is an excellent source of knowledge for foods. Of the 15+ years I've known Kristin, she has consistently been employed at upscale grooming establishments, boarding facilities, and high end canine nutrition and merchandising stores. Being a part of Rover will be second nature to her as she easily can asses your pets nature no matter the breed!

13. Marc R.
“Caring for animals comes naturally to Marc and there is no one I'd trust more with my pets. When he first met my 2 dogs, they connected right away and he treated them as if they were his own. He's been able to skillfully execute many tasks, including both oral and injectable medications, getting picky pets to eat and helping animals overcome fear and anxiety. He can handle strong, energetic dogs. He is also a successful business owner and is therefore highly responsible and meticulous. If you are in need of a mature, responsible sitter who is a natural with animals, look no further!”
14. Erin H.
“Erin is one of the most responsible people I know. She's balancing college, a job, and volunteering with various clubs and organizations on campus. She's had multiple dogs and cats her whole life and they're so well cared for and loved. All of her pets receive fantastic care and are exercised according to their needs: her young dog goes on longer walks while her older dogs and cats get less intense play. Any animal placed into her care is going to be well-loved and cared for as if they are her own.”
15. Alexandria R.
“Our 4 cats love when Allie comes to take care of them. They were all instantly comfortable with her. She really goes the extra mile and spends a lot of time with them when she comes to care for them - even sends a lot of cute photos! We highly recommend her to everyone if they need pet help in the area”

18. Tom Z.
“Tom Zuback is a tremendously caring and thoughtful person. I have known him for some 30 plus years, and have always been moved by his tremendous loyalty to his family, particularly his mother who is now not only elderly, but for all the time I have known Tom has needed his care and attention due to various illnesses - which Tom has always given her with great love and affection. I have also seen his care for a partner's dog, with whom he shared responsibility for many years. I recommend him in the absolutely highest terms - I know he would look after any person's pet as his own, and ensure their safety - and give them companionship on walks.”
