About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 10! I have experience with all different breeds, I even have 5 dogs of my own! All breeds are welcome 🤗 I currently go to school on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays until 3PM! On Fridays I am free after 12PM. Tuesdays and Thursdays are completely open. Weekends must be scheduled 2 weeks in advance. I will not be able to pet sit in my own home, since I have so many animals. However, I am more than happy to care for your pet in your own home, going on walks, bathing, etc.
“Kimberly did a spectacular job watching our cats. She saved all the worry we typically have when we leave our pets home while away. I recommend Kimberly to anyone who needs pet sitting!”

“This was the first time I used Rover or needed a sitter at all. I found Brenda and Francis and communicated shortly and set up a meeting day. Brenda came by and we hit it off. She's an animal lover, very caring and genuine. All throughout my time away, she was always reachable. Went the extra mile with maintaining the space my cats live in. And I even needed her to do some trouble shooting with the cameras in my house ( cats are fun ) . I will definitely be reaching out in the future to have this duo check in on my babies again. Trustworthy, responsible, and caring.”

“Grayson was great. This was my first time leaving Tom for an extended period of time since he has developed some kidney issues. Between that and him being a Velcro cat, I was a little nervous. Grayson was extremely communicative and timely and alleviated any initial concerns I had. Tom is doing great today like we didn’t even miss a beat! I know he was in good hands with her and will definitely try to use her in the future!”

“Second time Laura took care of our fur babies. She’s is great with them, I have no worries about leaving them in her care. Thank you Laura and thank you Rover!”

About: I've owned and cared for dogs since I was three years old. I've always loved them! I've worked at a dog boarding kennel for over a year now and I love it! Before that, I worked at a farm with lots of different animals and I've watched/walked dogs on the side for a long time now. I also have experience with cats as well! I'd love to meet your four-legged friends and family! I work part-time at a dog boarding kennel and my hours are different sometimes. I'm either working 7am - 12:30pm OR 3pm - 7pm. I usually work the afternoon shift (3 - 7). Since I have worked with animals a lot, especially dogs, I definitely consider myself pretty educated. Like I said, I do not offer boarding in my own home but I am more than happy to come to yours and offer my services! If you have any questions about anything, always feel free to contact me! :)

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, including my own pets since I was 10. I also worked at a dog kennel and as a dog grooming assistant when I was younger, and I’ve dog-sat for other families. These experiences taught me how to safely handle dogs, help with bathing, and keep them calm and comfortable in new places. What makes me different from many sitters is my experience with senior, disabled, and recovering dogs. I’ve cared for pets after surgery and illness, including staying up overnight to watch them, hand-feeding, helping them move around, and gently taking them outside. I also cared for my disabled Lab whose back legs didn’t work, helping with bathroom needs, cleaning, and daily comfort. Because of this, I’m very patient, attentive, and comfortable caring for dogs who need extra help, medications, or a slower pace. I treat every dog like family and focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily schedule. I complete my schoolwork through flexible online classes, which allows me to be home most of the day. Because of this, I’m able to give pets frequent attention, regular potty breaks, walks, feeding, and companionship throughout the day instead of leaving them alone for long periods. I’m used to caring for pets as part of my daily routine at home, including feeding, cleaning, and making sure they are comfortable and safe. This flexible schedule allows me to be reliable and fully present for the pets in my care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, get walks or potty breaks, and receive lots of attention and playtime. I also give any medications if needed and keep their space clean. I respect the client’s home and keep everything tidy, including cleaning up pet messes, washing bowls if needed, and making sure doors and gates stay secure. I send updates and photos so owners know their pet is safe and happy. My goal is to make pets feel relaxed and cared for while their family is away.
“I had the pleasure of having Kathryn watch my dog and cat over the weekend, and i couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment I met her it was clear that our pets were in good hands. Kathryn was incredibly punctual, and, most importantly, showed genuine affection and care for both of my furry family members. Throughout the weekend, I received regular updates and adorable photos, which reassured us that my pets were happy and well-cared for. Our dog can be quite rambunctious , but he took to Katihryn’s calm and friendly demeanor. She took the time to understand each pet's personality and needs, ensuring they were comfortable and content. When I returned home, my dog and cat were relaxed, well-exercised, and clearly had a wonderful time. It's evident that Kathryn is passionate about animals and takes her job seriously. I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional care provided and would highly recommend Kathryn to anyone in need of a reliable and loving pet sitter. We look forward to booking her again in the future! Thank you, for taking such excellent care of our pets!”


About: I am currently in training to become a certified dog trainer. I am able to offer basic and puppy training at this time. I have around 18 years of pet care experience. I have cared for dogs and cats in the past, including elderly and ill pets. I can administer any necessary medications, both oral and injectable. I have also worked for a prominent doggy day care that has locations across the country. I have an acre of fenced in yard for the dogs to run around and get out all of their energy, so you can rest assured they'll be having the time of their life here!

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated dog mom with hands-on experience caring for both large and small breeds. I know that every dog has a different personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take pride in adjusting my care to meet their specific needs. I also have experience with special-needs pets and understand the extra patience, attention, and consistency they require. Whether your dog needs medication, a slower pace, or just a little extra reassurance, I’m happy to provide thoughtful, attentive care. I treat every dog like they’re my own and always aim to create a calm, safe, and loving environment. You can expect clear communication, photo updates, and someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with your pet.
“Madelyn was wonderful and took great care of my fur baby even when my driveway was covered in snow and also helped us out over Christmas! Our cat is a needy boy and usually complains a lot when we leave but he didn’t seem to mind this time. Would definitely recommend!”

About: Hello! I live in Sussex County, NJ, and have been walking dogs since January 2025 via the Wag app. I am available for drop ins, walks, and pet sitting during the day. Since I have 2 sassy beagle-mixes of my own, I can do overnight stays with some household coordination on my end. I’m currently working part time, so have a flexible schedule! I do my best to only accept bookings where I know I’ll make it not only on time, but a few minutes early. It’s important for me to know what access or limits your pet has in your home, so I like to over communicate with pet parents so I fully understand what makes your pet happy and safe.
About: Animals are truly my heart.

About: Hi, my name is Natalia. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Anyone who knows me is aware of this and they even call me the “animal whisperer”. I am very knowledgeable about all types of animals and currently study biology in college. I have always dreamed of working with animals and hope to pursue a career in animal science. Taking care of animals is a passion of mine and I have one dog and two cats. I look forward to meeting your dog or cat and treating them like my own. I am free almost every week day after 3 but prefer Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. My weekends are usually open as well. If there is any conflicts I will let you know in advance. I have two cats and one dog that get along very well. They constantly are being taken care of and I take my dog Nora out for walks often spending time with her as much as I can. She gets fed twice a day and she loves play time. The cats Griffin and Gracie get their litter box’s cleaned out everyday and completely changed weekly. Griffin and Gracie get fed every day and their clean water replaced whenever dirty. All three love to be near me and many times sleep in bed with me.
