“Amanda is amazing! She walks my baby every week and has also boarded her. She is kind, caring, punctual, and a great communicator. I know my girl is in good hands when she’s with Amanda!”
About: I have grown up with all types of animals from dogs and cats, to birds and horses. I have a cat, two guinea pigs, a leopard gecko, and a dog myself. I also have experience working over two years in an animal shelter taking care of both dogs and cats. I adopted my current dog at 5 months and we have spent the last year training, so I am comfortable using various commands to communicate with your dogs. I am currently a post grad taking a semester off so I am available full time to take care of your animals. I can drop in, do dog walks, and doggy day care or overnights. I have a large fenced in yard but live with multiple cats and a dog (who is very friendly but hyper). If that environment would not work for your animal I could do day care or drop ins at your residence, although i can only do overnights at my house.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs of different ages and personalities. I currently have two spayed female cats, ages 5 and 10 both are good with other animals, and previously cared for our family Morkie for many years who has since passed. I’ve also helped care for my dad’s Golden Retriever with walks, feeding, playtime, and daily routines. Being around animals has always been a meaningful part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. ✨ I work from home and have a flexible schedule through my small business, which makes it easy for me to provide attentive and reliable pet care throughout the day. 🐾 I focus on creating a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any specific routines their pet is used to. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the space and the pet’s routine to help minimize stress while their owner is away. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured and connected throughout the stay. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I always approach them with patience, attention, and gentle care.
“Izabella took great care of our dog - Chevy while we were away. She was punctual and always communicated with us about how Chevy was doing. Would definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!”
“Devin has been an incredible dog charmer! Maddix took to him in minutes. He's courteous, flexible, knowledgeable and he was there for Maddix at the last minute. You are missing out if you don't give Devin a try! Thank you Devin for helping me out, especially at the last minute!”
“Brittni is so accommodating with my schedule, which helps me a ton and she is soooooo good with my active and strong dog. Highly recommend. She is my first go to when I need help.”
“Dwight is remarkable! He treated my pup Pronto as if he was his very own. They had the best walks and had so much fun. I looked forward to receiving Pronto's report card everyday. The pictures were also star quality. Communication with Dwight was also a breeze. I can't recommended him enough. Thanks a ton!”
“We had a great experience with Julia. She communicated well, was reliable and kind. She was great with our pup and gave her the care we needed. Would hire again in a heartbeat.”
About: I grew up with dogs, and I have an 8 y/o, 100 lb Bernedoodle that I’ve spoiled his whole life. I would love to spoil your pet, too! I am very comfortable with puppies, seniors, big, small, and everything in between. I will be patient with your pet, I don’t mind cleaning up messes, and am comfortable with giving medications. I go to the gym daily and will work that around your pet’s care. Your pet’s care will be my priority. This is my job! I will treat your pet and home with the utmost respect. I will be patient with your pet. I will also be sure to leave your home the same or cleaner than when I arrived.
“Danny is really kind and says to communicate with. He has walked and cared for our senior pup both last minute and long term. We feel safe having him watching our dog and recommend!”
About: I have over 15 years experience. Growing up I had 4 dogs, 3 cats, 2 horses, and 4 birds. Recent days, I specialize in puppies, high energy breeds, and seniors. Got a couch potato? No problem! I'll make sure they get all the snuggles they need. Got a high-energy baby with a frequent case of the zoomies? Good thing I'm high energy too! I'll walk and play with them as much as they want. Got a senior who deserves all the care in the world? They will recieve all my attention and love as if they were my own. I work fully remote at home so as long as you have wifi - I can stop by any time or day! If you need me last minute - let me know! I can make something work. You are trusting me with something precious - your baby and your home. Whatever your baby and home needs, I will gladly find a way to take care of it. They be will given the upmost care and love. As a mom of a dog who went over the rainbow bridge in the care of someone else - I know how important it is to have someone you trust.
“Andrew was so amazing and caring with my little Flynn! He’s still a puppy so he required lots of patience which Andrew provided! I am so thankful I have someone I can trust to take care of Flynn for me, will be using again in the future! Thanks Andrew!! ?”
“I recently had surgery and needed someone to walk my pup. Hailey responded quickly and was on time. More importantly, she was very kind (and patient) with my energetic pit mix. I would gladly trust Hailey with my pup again! Thank you ?”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and grew up with two Golden Retrievers. I currently own a friendly and energetic Golden Retriever who has taught me the importance of consistency, exercise, and positive reinforcement. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, from playful puppies to senior dogs. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, feeding, or companionship while you’re away, I will treat them like my own and provide dependable, attentive care. I have a flexible schedule and am available most days, including weekdays, evenings, weekends, and many same-day requests. I can often accommodate last-minute bookings and will do my best to work around your pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions exactly as requested. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and updates so you can feel confident your pet is receiving reliable and loving care while you’re away.
About: Hi! My name is Jack :) I have spent the past several years working as a veterinary technician, caring for animals in a professional medical setting. I have experience with puppies, kittens, senior pets, and pets with medical needs. I love building trust with animals and helping them feel comfortable and secure. My goal is to provide the same level of care and attention that I would want for my own pets, so you can travel with confidence knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾 I strive to be flexible and accommodate your pet’s routine as closely as possible. Whether your pet needs morning, afternoon, evening, or overnight care, I will work with you to ensure their feeding, exercise, medication, and enrichment schedules are maintained. Consistency is important for both cats and dogs, and my goal is to keep their day-to-day routine familiar and stress-free while you’re away. I am happy to discuss your pet’s specific needs and create a care plan that works best for them. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. As a veterinary technician with several years of experience, I am trained to recognize signs of illness, injury, or distress and respond appropriately. I provide a calm, patient, and low-stress environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or requires medication, I will treat them with the same care and attention I give my own pets. You can expect reliable communication, regular updates, and peace of mind knowing your pet is being cared for by an experienced animal care professional.
About: I have been an animal lover since growing up in rural Florida. I have been a momma to chickens, birds, greyhounds, guinea pigs, and hamsters. I now have 2 cute cats that refuse to share their home with any canines so I figure I can get my dog hugs with this job! I want a hobby/job to keep me busy while my girls go to school. I can do dog walks, cat care, and home visits for dogs. I will do all visits in the clients' home, and all walks in the dogs' neighborhood. My cats are cute, but not great at sharing my attention....they really are divas.
About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs for almost 7 years and have 8 years of overall experience caring for pets. I’ve babysat my neighbors’ dogs many times, and they trust me to give their pets lots of love, attention, and care while they’re away. I always send picture updates so owners can feel comfortable knowing their dogs are happy and safe. I also have a friendly dog of my own who gets along well with other dogs, and with permission, I can bring my dog to interact and play with them to help keep them active and social. I’ve been an animal lover since I was in 3rd grade, and some people even call me a “dog whisperer” because animals naturally seem to trust and connect with me. I truly believe dogs are one of the most loyal and loving companions a person can have, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my family. I am currently home from college for the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I am available most weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, boarding, and overnight care. I have years of experience caring for dogs and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I have friendly dogs for social interaction if wanted, can crate dogs if needed, and always follow owners’ instructions carefully. I provide regular updates and photos so owners feel reassured while away.

South Orange dog parents share their Rover experiences
We met Erin during a meet & greet for the first time… & from that moment I knew my pups were in great hands! Especially because my sweet old girl loved her (I’ll always trust her judge of character). Erin took great care of my senior babies on a walk through the neighborhood & backyard time. We already have Erin booked for another drop in…. 10/10 recommend!!
I had booked Rafaela last minute and fortunately she was available! I provided instructions on how to get to my place and where everything was, and she was able to navigate well. She communicated with me prior and during and took sweet photos of my dog. Would recommend and book her again!
Maria has taken care of my pup countless time over the past year. She is incredibly professional, communicative, and trustworthy. I have not once ever had to worry if my pup was good hands. Truly 10/10 would recommend to anyone needing someone to look after their furry friend!
Loved Skyler! Super nice and responsible, she took care of my big Goldendoodle and, despite the bad weather, she did great and never missed checking on my dog at my house. On my return, my dog looked happy and got super excited when she stopped by to bring the house keys, which told me he loved her as well… that says it all!!! Will definitely use her again and recommend🫶🏻.
