“Aayush has been a very reliable and conscientious sitter! He took excellent care of our cat's feeding schedule and a clean litter. Gave us complete peace of mind to trust Aayush when we had an emergency international travel. We're so grateful to have found such a trustworthy and helpful Rover. I highly recommend Aayush to anyone looking for a kind, dependable, and trustworthy pet sitter!”

About: I’ve had my own 3 dogs, 3 cats, and a bunny for the past 12 years and I have grown such a big love for animals. Started helping out my neighbors with day trips about 10 years ago and started doing longer strips once I could drive. Looking to help your fur babies get their steps in and have a fun time while their people can’t be around! Currently, taking care of pets is my full time job. I love it so much and it’s so rewarding. I’m very flexible with my hours! After talking to the owner about what they’re looking for from me, as permitted, I would love to go for walks wherever is safe, play with toys inside or outside, or even some long pets if that’s what they want

About: I have four years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog, which has given me a strong foundation in daily pet care and animal behavior. My responsibilities have included feeding, grooming, administering medications, and providing consistent companionship and exercise. I take pride in maintaining a clean, safe, and enriching environment for animals under my care. In addition to personal pet ownership, I’ve provided light pet care services in private households. These roles included walking, feeding, and monitoring the well-being of family pets during regular and extended visits. I am attentive to each animal’s specific needs, routines, and preferences. Families trust me to treat their pets with respect, patience, and reliability. My goal is always to ensure pets feel secure, loved, and well-cared for in their owner’s absence. I have a flexible job schedule that allows me ample free time throughout the day, making me highly available to walk dogs on a consistent basis. My adaptable hours enable me to accommodate various client needs, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I am committed to providing reliable and attentive care, ensuring every dog receives the exercise and companionship they deserve. My flexibility allows me to build strong, dependable relationships with both pets and their owners. I prioritize safety during every walk by using secure, well-fitting collars or harnesses and sturdy leashes. I stay vigilant of the dog’s surroundings to avoid hazards like traffic, aggressive animals, or harmful objects. I monitor the dog’s behavior and physical condition closely to prevent overexertion or distress. Hydration and weather conditions are always considered to keep the dog comfortable and healthy. In all situations, my goal is to ensure a safe, enjoyable, and stress-free experience for every dog in my care.

“First time ever using Rover and having drop in on our two dogs and chicks. Kay has phenomenal communication and updates! I would recommend her to anyone seeking some help when out of town.”


About: My name is Jennifer Gillio. I am 54 years old and love animals (especially dogs and cats). I have had two dogs in past and a cat. I have about 20 years experience dog sitting/walking and picking up feces. I am knowledgeable of making sure an animal is being taken care of. My favorite thing to do is to play with them. I live in Hillsborough New Jersey. I would like to stay 10-15 miles radius. I work in a public school and finish work June 25. In the summer and on breaks I will have more time. But during the school year I can offer some late afternoons and early evenings and some weekends. I am very excited to animal sit/walk your pet. I hope to hear from you soon!!! During the summer months, I have more flexibility. I can do walks and drop-ins between 2-7pm. a few days a week (some weekends if needed). I can't care for pets in my home. But I am willing to do drop ins like feeding and filling water and maybe hanging out for a few hours.

About: I have been a pet owner, foster mom, rescue volunteer, and assistance dog trainer for more than two decades. I am a teacher, mom of four grown children, with too much time on my hands and I need some furry friends! I also love to exercise and to walk every day. I am a quiet, introverted person, an avid walker and reader, holder of two masters degrees, and a person of high integrity. I can be trusted in your home. I have experience with very old and very young dogs and cats, with bottle-feeding, administering meds, eye-drops, and even administering subcutaneous fluids. I have puppy trained 7 golden retrievers/standard poodles to be assistance dogs for autistic children which means I took a six-week puppy training course with each pup. I am referred to by my friends and family as the Dog Whisperer. I believe in pet in-loco parentis - pet parent in your absence! I am a preschool teacher (leave my house at 8 and return home by 4.) I like to spend as much of my free time with furry friends. I have been fostering dogs and cats for decades and have a lot of experience sharing my home with other people’s pets. Again, I believe in pet in-loco parentis - pet parent in your absence! I have yet to find an animal I couldn't love. I care for my own pets as if they were my sons and daughters, much to my real children's annoyance!

“Another wonderful visit from Kaitlyn to our scaredy -cat doggie Coco. But this time he wasnt scared!! That is because Kaitlyn is so kind and sweet and patient with Coco during the drop in. Wonderful pictures and communications to us!! We continue to highly recommend Kaitlyn !!”


About: I have experience in overnight stays for pet care as well as just check ins, feeding, and walking. Whether its a puppy or an adult dog Im here to make you and your pet happy! I am mostly available in the afternoons after 7pm or in the mornings before 3:30 pm I am working a part time job but I want to continue taking care of pets because it's something I really enjoy! Unfortunately, I am not able to offer my home. However, I can do client home sitting and I am more than willing to do overnights.

About: Hello! My name is Megan! I have a three-year-old golden retriever Macie, but also have lots of experience with cats. I have a flexible schedule right now and would love to help with your pet’s care! I am available for walks/drop in visits and am comfortable staying at your home to care for your pet. I have stayed in home to care for dogs in the past and could do the same for cats. I have cared for pets of friends and family members for many years now, and have always taken excellent care of my own pets, and would be happy to assist with your pet care needs! I am a former teacher turned remote Enrollment Specialist. Working remotely allows my schedule to be flexible, so I am available for walks in the morning, midday, and evening! I always make sure that your pet feels safe and comfortable around me by giving space if needed while they warm up to a new caregiver, and giving lots of love and attention when they are ready! I can walk your pets on leash and crate them if needed.

Darshana J.
“I've had the pleasure of seeing Darshana care for pets with an incredible mix of love, patience, and responsibility. One weekend, I had to leave town unexpectedly, and Darshana stepped in to watch my dog, Cornelius.

Maria has been very good at showing both of them care and attention. I can tell that she enjoys working with cats and dogs due to how affectionate she is.

What’s best is that she does all of this with a smile, assuring me and my pet is in good hands.”
