House Sitting Skillman

“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!”

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.

“Kriti was wonderful with my sweet rescue, Ruby. She is very professional, competent, and I was comfortable leaving Ruby in her care! I loved the videos and photos she sent. In addition, the house was in perfect shape on my return! I highly recommend Kriti!”

“Vee was absolutely wonderful! She cared for my dog with love and dedication and left my home in pristine condition. She communicated regularly and was very responsible. Most important, she was patient and determined to get my dog to eat and take her meds (she is older and has health issues) and kept me informed. I could not ask for better care! My dog is happy and healthy!”

I am available for petcare indoors and out, whether you are looking for occasional service or routine. I do think it is important to build trust with your pet(s) and am happy to take the time to do so. I am happy to walk your dog(s) in all kinds of weather!

During the school year I teach middle school science, where I help youngsters to develop a comfort with and love for living things, indoors and out! My daytime availability during the school year is reduced as a result...

“We will continue to book Ethan again and again. He took the best care of our large dog, checked in each day, and left the house in better shape than he found it. Super professional, kind, and our dog just loved him. Highly recommend.”

“Joanne was a delight to work with and my pet Duke absolutely adored her! As a first time Rover user having someone watch our pet overnight, I didn’t know what to expect but Joanne made it so easy. I would highly recommend Joanne and her pet sitting services. She was reliable, dependable, treated my pet like her own, and also treated my home like her own. I will definitely be asking Joanne to watch Duke again!”

Erin S.

“Matthew was incredible with our pup, Lupe! We were a bit nervous to leave her with someone that wasn't already a close friend, but Lupe took to Matthew instantly. He sent us regular updates so that we could see how well he was caring for her, and when we returned, it was evident that he had kept up with her training without our asking. We would not hesitate to book Matthew again, and neither should you!”

“Linda gave our dog lots of attention and watched over our home while we were away. She’s very kind and thoughtful.”

“Yana took the time to visit with our family before staying at our home with Charlie. He had instantly taken to her gentle manner which made us feel so comfortable. She exercised patience with his sometimes stubborn but lovable manner. We loved her daily texts with pictures outlining how the day went. I feel at ease knowing she is caring for our Charlie.”

I’m a full time teacher during the school year, so in the summer I have plenty of availability on weekdays mornings, daytime, and evenings. I am also available for pet sitting or walking many weekends. I respect your home by closely following your pet care instructions including any special diet or behavior needs. I have also gone through no harm dog training with my dog, so I am fully at ease dealing with dogs that range from chill to anxious or reactive. As for cats, I am an introvert who is good at reading animal body language, so I will make sure to treat them with care while giving them their personal space.

About: Greetings! I am a true lover of ALL animals. Especially Dogs and Cats💕 I owned my beloved cat Tigger for 13 wonderful years, and now I have a furry “brother” named Chance, a fun-loving Jack Russell Terrier who completely steals my heart! I love visiting him, taking him on walks, cuddling, playing, and of course enjoying all those happy oxytocin-filled moments. He literally goes crazy when I walk through the door! 🐶 What sets me apart as a pet sitter is the genuine love, attention, and care I give to every animal. I don’t just “watch” pets — I spend quality time with them, play with them, keep them company, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I will: Feed and care for your pet responsibly Take dogs on walks and give them exercise Play, cuddle, and provide companionship Keep litter boxes, feeding areas, and pet spaces clean Treat your pet like family I also have a lot of experience caring for children, so being nurturing, patient, dependable, and attentive comes naturally to me. If you’re looking for someone who is honest, fun, compassionate, and truly enjoys animals, your pets will LOVE having me as their sitter! 🐾✨ Right now, My brother Chance and my besties Dog Nikki who I case around ( or she chase me around every chance I get! I don't have a daily pet routine N/A I donot care for pets in my home. Should someone desperately need cat care I will try to accommodate. ( I'm more than happy to help)

About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life. I now have an amazing female golden retriever who is very docile and sweet with all dogs (as long as they are not aggressive with her). She is truly awesome-Just like your guy or girl! We love having animals in our home, playing, walking and hanging out. I have been hosting dogs in my home for over a year now. I’m a mom who is home so I have a flexible schedule. Ideally I’m looking to host a dog 2-5 days a week during the day/early evening. Leave your pet with me and guarantee they will be happy, well taken care of and having lots of fun! My home is a friendly, clutter free, safe and comfortable environment. We have a fenced in yard for potty breaks in between our walks and we have a lot of fun playing and relaxing in the house

“Justin was absolutely the best. He sent so many pictures told me what they were doing (my pup beau) even moved my flowers out of the sun as it was so hot he said they were dying stripped the bed and washed the sheets before he left. House was neat and most of all Beau looked great. Thank you Justin”

Jaimie K.

About: I am full of love and intentionality for animals. I care for their thoughts and emotions, needs and desires. I love to connect with animals in a way that makes them feel loved, secure, stable, and safe. I have experience in training a boxer puppy which is a full-time commitment! I am able to understand an animal’s body language and their ways of communicating. This allows me to provide the care that an animal needs for any given circumstance. I have also cared for animals in their old age. This allows me to understand the various needs and aging animal has and the unique tenderness that is required to love and care for them. I am currently a student at Rutgers University. I live in Bridgewater, NJ and commute to school. I am on my final semester and have a very light schedule. I do the majority of my work from home so I have a flexible schedule that can meet various needs. I do not currently have any pets which allows for the maximum amount of attention to be devoted your animal. I live an active lifestyle and love to go on long walks and hikes with any active pets. I am also very content to lounge and relax with animals that like to do so. I am intentional and relational and eager to build a bond with any animal that I come in contact with.
