House Sitting Rockaway

“Jessica did a great job caring for Luna. Luna is quite shy and nervous around new people, but she felt comfortable and accepted Jessica right away, which was a huge relief for us. There was a last minute change in the overnight arrangements due to a personal matter, but Jessica communicated this and ensured Luna was well looked after during the day. We were happy to see Luna calm and will be booking her again.”

“Jennifer was absolutely amazing !!! From our first meet and greet to the end of her watching our dog she was nothing but professional. She was extremely attentive to our very needy boy and gave him all the love and snuggles he definitely demanded from her. I will definitely be using her again !”

“Jessica and Gill were a dream come true for my geriatric, and quirky dogs. Every good thing that people say about them in these reviews was true--lots of amazing photos, very active with the dogs, communicative, responsible, great attitude, left the house in immaculate condition. We would definitely love to have them come again and stay with our dogs and house, it felt that they treated Ruby and Harry how we treat them, as beloved family members. We really couldn't give them a higher praise.”

“Antonia is an expert dog walker. She took excellent care of my pups while I was away And when one of them got very seriously ill, she acted quickly and allowed us to get my Coco to the vet to get the help she needed. She also expertly cleaned up my house from the sick dog. I highly recommend her to anyone.”

“Erinn did a wonderful job with our animals. We got regular updates. The house and animals were in the condition we had left them when we returned home. Everyone seemed happy. I would definitely hire her again.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 12 and I really love being around animals. Friends, neighbors, and family trust me to feed, walk, play with, and watch their pets when they’re away. I’m patient, reliable, and make sure every dog feels safe and comfortable. Whether your dog likes long walks, playing, or just relaxing, I’ll make sure they’re happy and cared for. I treat every pet like my own and always do my best to make owners feel comfortable leaving their pets with me. I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to care for your pets since I am home from college. I’m available throughout most weekdays and weekends, which gives me lots of time to give your pets attention, playtime, walks, and care. I enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for when they’re with me. I follow instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, or routines your pet is used to. I’m patient with animals and pay attention to their behavior and needs to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. In a client’s home, I am respectful of the space and make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and care while the owners are away.

“Rebecca was absolutely fantastic with our fur babies! We have a cat and an older dog with digestive issues that requires specific care. Usually, we travel with our pets, but unfortunately, this time, we couldn’t. I’m a nervous wreck when I leave them with anyone else because of past experiences and illnesses that have occurred in my absence. Before booking, Rebecca was completely transparent about any prior commitments that might take her away from our home for a few hours. She wanted to ensure that this would still be a good fit for our dog’s well-being. I really appreciated that Rebecca was incredibly kind and attuned to the needs of our animals. She handled them with the utmost patience and understanding. I believe her to be incredibly trustworthy, and both our dog and cat absolutely adored her. I received countless photos, videos, and updates of our dog doing her happy dance, taking naps, and snuggling up on the couch with Rebecca. One day our dog had an upset stomach which is always a cause for concern with her chronic health issues, and Rebecca went above and beyond to ensure that she did everything possible to care for her properly. She kept me fully in the loop and even offered to cook rice and broth for her in case she needed to settle her stomach. I mentioned that sweet potato usually helps her eat again if needed, and Rebecca offered to drive and pick one up so that she could ensure it was a good quality for my dog, rather than me having one delivered to the house: Thankfully my dog finally decided to eat her food and got better in the evening but like I said, she went above and beyond. I would/will hire Rebecca again and entrust her with our fur babies without hesitation. She was simply phenomenal and is a pet owner’s dream come true. Rebecca, Thank you so much for taking such excellent care of our fur babies!”

About: I’ve been around dogs all shapes and sizes and ages ever since remember myself. I am a pet mom to a rescue cat and a beautiful dog I have listed my available days. I’m mostly home and kids love pets, all of us are very house broken and mellow. My dog is super friendly with everybody I have a fenced in decent size yard, and a cat and a dog to keep company. Pets are not allowed in the yard unsupervised though

“We could not be more grateful for Raechel’s flexibility and communication the last week as we navigated finding pet care for a last-minute funeral. We returned home to a spotless house and happy, well cared for pets - with the TV turned on to one of their favorite programs, a detail that made us so happy. We will absolutely be booking with Raechel again!”

“Jessica did a great job watching my dog. I will use her again when we go away”

About: New to Rover, but not to pets! See my background in professional pet care below! I bring over three years of professional experience from multiple dog boarding and daycare facilities, in addition to living with my own furry family members since childhood. This background gives me both the technical skills to handle logistics - from managing high-energy playgroups to following strict feeding, and cleaning protocols - and the genuine heart to treat every guest like one of my own. My time at D.A.R.G. (Domestic Animal Rescue Group) in South Africa further sharpened my ability to connect with animals from all walks of life. Special Skills: Medical & Senior Care: I am comfortable and experienced in administering medications. Behavioral Awareness: Having worked with challenging temperaments and diverse energy levels, I know how to read body language and provide the right environment for shy, reactive, or high-energy pets. Cat Specialist: I understand that cats are unique. I approach them with patience and respect - always on their terms - ensuring they feel secure in their own space. Training Basics: I can reinforce basic commands and maintain the structure you’ve already established for your pet. ✨ Why Pet Owners Choose Me • Experienced with both dogs and cats • Comfortable with a wide range of personalities and behaviors • Patient and attentive - great with shy, energetic, or more sensitive pets • Able to administer medications if needed • Reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented • You’ll always receive updates and photos! 📸 Pet care is a consistent part of my daily life. Whether I’m caring for my own pets or helping out friends, I prioritize routine and reliability. My current schedule allows me the flexibility to provide dedicated check-ins, walks, and attentive overnight care. Because I’m used to the fast-paced environment of professional daycares, I’m excellent at time management and ensuring every "potty break" and meal happens right on time. My priority is making sure your pet feels secure and loved while you’re away. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same respect I show your pets. My Safety Protocol: Detailed Updates: You’ll receive regular updates with photos and videos so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. Routine-Focused: I mirror your pet's existing schedule to minimize any "vacation anxiety." Attentive & Alert: My background in professional boarding has trained me to be hyper-aware of environmental hazards and subtle changes in a pet's behavior or health. Calm Presence: I provide a peaceful environment for more sensitive animals while offering fun, active engagement for those who need to burn off energy.

“Samantha was absolutely fantastic with our dogs, Lila and Cash. From the moment we met her, we felt comfortable leaving them with her. She’s reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. Lila can be particular and Cash is still a puppy with plenty of energy, but she handled both of them so well. We came home to two happy dogs and had total peace of mind while we were away. We wouldn't hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog sitter 💕”

“Thanks to Vanessa, we had one less thing to worry about during our recent trip. She took great care of the boys and a few things around the house. Logistically, her work place being close to our house, gave us the assurance that she is closeby if needed during her working hours. The boys loved her so much, they went crazy when she had dropped by later to collect a few stuff she had left behind.”

“Elaine was super flexible and responsive. She sent photos and updates for two days. Highly recommend!”

About: I have been a veterinary technician for the last 19 years. I have spent the majority of that time working at a small animal practice, but also worked at an emergency and specialty practice for 4 years during that time as well. During my career, I have dealt with numerous c-sections, geriatric, diabetic, and renal patients. Meaning that, injections, SQ fluid, oral meds, etc, are not a problem.. I have also done pet sitting on the side for many years during this time as well. I have always had a love for animals. I currently own a 9 year old mixed breed dog, as well as a cat, and chinchilla. I have had many pocket pets over the years as well. I currently work full time, overnights only, on the front end of the week. I plan accordingly, to make sure the pets needs are met before and after work shift, and spoil them extra on the days I’m off. I adjust to whatever needs the pet requires, and make our schedules work in sync so that there are no issues with bathroom breaks, or feeding/medications.

About: As a true dog lover, I understand that dogs need love, patience, and attention—especially when their owners are away. I know accidents and little messes can happen, and I approach them with patience and understanding. I truly empathize with how stressful separation can feel for pets, which is why I focus on making them feel safe, comforted, and cared for. I also understand how important peace of mind is for owners, and I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. I’m currently a full-time master’s student with a flexible schedule, allowing me availability for dog walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week. I currently provide care in my client’s home and always try to follow your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and safe. I understand dogs need love, attention, patience, and reassurance—especially when their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or companionship, I’ll care for your pet with kindness and patience while giving you peace of mind.

About: I recently lost my Alaskan Malamute from lymphoma. He was only 5 and he had epilepsy. I am good at giving medications. I love all types of dogs, big or little. My dream is to have a chihuahua and a bigger dog in the future. I currently am unemployed and am looking for a full time job in marketing. Right now, I am free everyday and prefer to have excursions in the morning. I have a fenced in patio area that your dog can roam around in. They can go in the backyard if they have good recall but it is not fenced. Our neighbor has a dog.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs a good portion of my life! Love pets altogether. I can understand that all pets have different needs and quirks! I’m currently babysitting Monday’s through Friday’s but a limited amount of hours daily. It isn’t anything that would interfere with pet care needs I’d need to accomplish elsewhere. As far as overnight stays my hours wouldn’t cut in but I’d leave at some point in the day for babysitting for a couple hours. For day to day drop in’s or walks I could communicate my availability and come to an agreement accordingly with owners. My hours in babysitting wouldn’t prevent me from meeting any needs because aside from babysitting I have a lot of time available in the day. I personally don’t take boarding clients but I’m very respectful in other peoples homes. Whatever boundaries and request’s set I will honor them. I’m there to help with a service needed and get paid and hopefully get some pet cuddles in lol. I’ve worked in many different homes with different dynamics and I’ve always gotten back that I’m very pleasant and helpful, that’s huge especially when it comes to childcare. Let alone pet care. I would never take advantage or overstep it’s not in my moral compass to disrespect another persons space.
