Emma took excellent care of our two dogs while we away. She followed all instructions and was very responsive both before and during our trip. We came home to two happy pups! I would definitely book Emma again the next time we need an overnight sitter.

Simply put, Joey was outstanding, both with his care of Pablo as well as management of our home while staying here. As a person, he’s a young man of high integrity who is kind, thoughtful, and detail oriented! He loves dogs; kept me posted with text and pics; and maintains a positive and loving temperament. He exceeded my expectations and would give him my highest recommendation!

Thank you so much to Joanna! I came home to happy and relaxed pups, who received thoughtful care and loving attention. My home was spotless. Joanna provided me with great communication, updates and pictures throughout her stay. We are so extremely grateful because Joanna was able to step in at the last minute. We would definitely recommend her, and I hope to be able to book her as a sitter again.

About: I am an active individual and love the outdoors! If you have a pup who likes to run, I do not mind going for a jog. I have a small 9 year old Yorkie who loves other dogs and invites them happily into our home. My husband and I recently lost our senior dog who was almost 17. We have a lot of experience with providing senior dogs with a comfortable and extra loving home. I have puppy experience as well! We live on a beautiful property with 4 acres of land. While our yard is not fenced, we sit back from the road and I have taken my friend's dogs out on leash in our yard with no problems. It's a big yard with lots of exploring opportunities. I also enjoy going to the preserve in town to walk my dog and can happily do the same with yours. My husband and I take care of our Yorkie daily. On the days I have provided availability, I am home for the day/night. This allows me the time to care for another dog with our Yorkie. In the summertime, I plan to have weekday availability as I am a teacher and will be on summer break. I have a beautiful piece of property that while not fenced, sits back from the road and is great for a good walk through the grass on leash. I also love going for walks at our local preserve and live on a road that is pretty quiet that I frequently walk my dog on. I am always happy to stop in for a drop in visit while you are away for the day and need care for your pet. I am happy to crate your dog if needed.

About: With years of experience caring for multiple cats and dogs at home, I truly understand their needs and quirks. I also watch dogs of all sizes and ages, ensuring they feel loved and secure in their own environment. I am dedicated to providing the best care for your pets and believe having them stay in a location they are familiar with is the ideal stay. I work from home when booked, allowing me to adjust my schedule to be fully available on booked days. I bring my laptop setup with me and I'm all set. Have an extremely flexible schedule. I take great joy in walking dogs and giving them the attention they deserve, ensuring they feel loved and cared for during their time with me. I watch dogs in your own home to ensure they feel comfortable with an environment they are used to and to avoid any additional stress.

About: I am accepting new clients for housing sitting, drop in visits, and dog walking in New Jersey! Use code AMBIKS90872, for $20 off your first booking How does your fur baby relaxing in comfort while you are away from them sound? You’ve come to the right sitter! I am not your regular sitter trying to make a quick buck, I genuinely care about creating a safe and comfortable environment for dogs. I do not accept all requests and I request a meet and greet for all dogs older than 6 months. I carefully screen each dog to make sure they get along with me and the other dogs in the my home. I dogsit for the sheer enjoyment of taking care of your furry family member and take extra caution to not leave any room for error. I go to lengths to make myself somebody you can trust. I am a dog mom of two Cavapoodles (Yogi and Mini) and a Cavachon (Daisy) and they get along with pretty much any well mannered dog. They are sassy at first but after an hour or two, they play! I work from home. I would love to take care of your pup while at your home and/or drop in and walk your pup. I will take care of your dog as if they are my own! For the sake of safety of your pet, I do not take them to public dog parks to avoid a chance of another dog hurting them but I will however make sure he/she gets to play lots indoor/outdoors as well as walks. I make sure my dogs are having their routine of playtime, rest, and I stick to their food schedules and walk them daily. My goal is to have them happy and healthy upon your return. Your pet will never be left alone under my care. If I have to step out, my family member will be watching your pup. I am happy to provide photos and video to give you updates.

About: I've been lucky enough to have a dog in my life since I was 8 years old, and now I'm 20! My dog is 13 years old, and caring for her has taught me so much about patience and responsibility. She takes multiple medications, so I'm very comfortable with medication schedules and making sure pets receive the care they need on time. I've also looked after other pets for family and friends like my friend's 3 cats, Rocky, Pepper and Sage, during school breaks, and the cutest dog in the world, Abby. These experiences helped me become confident caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs!! I truly love spending time with animals, cuddling, playing, keeping them company, or just making sure they stay active and happy. I'm an outdoorsy person who enjoys hiking and walking, so I'd be happy to take your dog on walks and adventures if needed. I'm reliable, attentive, and comfortable with feeding and following special instructions to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for! I’m planning to have an internship, so I’ll be working full days but will be able to periodically check in on your animals!! I love to play and spend time with them, and you can trust they’re in great hands! My puppy is 13 years old, and is on many medications, has specific feeding times and diet, but she still loves to play and go on walks! I’m super organized and take very good care of her.

We recently entrusted our dog Maeve to Jill, and we couldn't be more pleased with the care she received. Jill not only kept our home tidy but also formed a special bond with Maeve, ensuring she was happy and well-cared for. We highly recommend Jill for her exceptional service and genuine love for dogs!

Jake is wonderful. We went on a trip for a week and he stayed with our older dogs. We got pictures and updates from Jake, he took them on walks and outside. The dogs are happy and the house was well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Jake. We never leave our dogs with anyone so this was a big deal and we can’t thank Jake enough for making this a great experience.

About: I am an experienced pet sitter and parent to two cats, Bubba and Mama, and our sweet rescue dog, Daisy. I have experience with cats and dogs of all sizes and temperaments. My flexible WFH schedule enables me to be an attentive sitter and my camera roll is often full of pet photos so you will receive plenty of updates :). I work from home full-time with a flexible schedule so I can build my day around pet visits and check-ins, a perk my own pets continue to benefit from. I live in a pet-friendly community with plenty of green space and walking paths. My home has no stairs (perfect for short-legged or elderly pets) with direct access to open grass (we often have deer visitors!).

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for over 20 years and currently have two of my own. I have experience volunteering for animal shelters and can handle meds, clean up, walks, or assistance for special needs animals. I am insured with Pet Sitters Associates. While in my care, your fur babies are my highest priority and I will love them as if they were my own! I’m currently on a sabbatical from work and am available most days during the week. After taking care of my own, I am free for walks and play starting at 8:30am until 6pm. Peace of mind, pet safety, and your pets contentment is my highest priority and I will follow the exact instructions provided by the pet owner.

About: When I’m not at work, I spend most of my time with our 9 year old rescue dog Cooper, or spending time going on walks as a family. In my spare time, I’ve had the pleasure of fostering 7 rescue dogs in our home until they all were matched with a loving family and their forever homes❤️. Lover of all animals (cats included, although I cannot pet them due to allergies🤧). I enjoy getting to meet and take care of all sorts of pets on Rover. I’ve even had the chance to feed a families horses while they were away on vacation. If your fuzzy family member needs a babysitter, a nice walk, or anything in between then feel free to send me a message! Currently open 7 days a week for availability. Feel free to reach out regarding availability or with any questions, and I’m also happy to do a meet and greet if preferred. For high energy dogs I have taken them on neighborhood walks, hikes, or played toys with them. I always let the pet parent guide me on what their dog is up for. We have a senior dog gentleman of our own, so for dogs with a milder temperament I am happy to take them on short walks or can hang inside with them if that’s more their speed.

About: I have a dog of my own and have experience in house sitting and dog walking. I am a college student who enjoys physical activity and spending time outside, made even better by spending that time with a dog by my side! I am home from school for the summer and am currently interning and working sporadically. Both locations are very flexible with scheduling, giving me the ability to step away from work for any period of time to take care of your pet. I am comfortable with leash and yard trained dogs, especially ones that respond well to verbal commands. I am very detail oriented and attentive, which I believe provides a safe and enjoyable environment for dogs.
