About: I’ve had both dogs and cats throughout my life and have always taken pride in giving them the best care possible. Over the years, my love for animals has only grown—especially for cats. As I got older, that bond became even stronger, which eventually led me to having four cats of my own, all of whom I love deeply and care for like family. What sets me apart is my genuine connection with animals and my understanding of their unique personalities and needs. Whether it's keeping a shy cat comfortable, giving a senior pet extra patience, or just making sure every little detail is handled with care, I treat every pet as if they were my own. As someone who works from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of free time throughout the day and week to focus on pet care. My remote work is structured in a way that gives me the freedom to plan around pet visits and provide consistent, attentive care. Whether it’s morning check-ins, midday playtime, or evening visits, I’m able to accommodate a variety of needs and make sure your pet gets the time, love, and attention they deserve! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and personality so I can create a calm, secure environment that feels familiar and stress-free. In your home, I respect your space and follow all instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, playtime, or keeping the litter box clean and tidy. I make sure pets feel safe and cared for, and I always keep you updated with regular check-ins and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. At my home, pets have a quiet, cat-friendly space where they can relax without stress or overcrowding. I’m mindful of keeping things clean, secure, and peaceful—especially for more sensitive or shy cats. My goal is always to treat your pet (and your home) with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my exceptional level of care and expertise. Your furry friends will receive the highest level of attention and care. I am dedicated to making your pets feel loved and secure in your absence. Flexible scheduling, just ask Monday available all day Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday available in the morning Tuesday and Friday available in evening I am flexible for morning check-ins also I have a very active rabbit. He has never known a cage and keeps me busy. He requires some obscure grooming and typical nail, fur and ear care. He gets massages and loves head scratches.

“Philsung went above and beyond taking care of our 2 large senior dogs. He was thoughtful and proactive, and communicated throughout the visits. We were very impressed and would definitely book again.”


About: I am retired and have recently relocated to northern jersey. I am an avid animal lover. I have always had my own pets. Unfortunately, I had to say goodbye to my fur baby of 13 1/2 years and am not quite ready to adopt at this time but sincerely miss having an animal in my life. I am helping to care for a dear friend’s cat and although truthfully I am more a "dog" person, I now find myself beginning to appreciate "cats”. Cats are really fascinating (and a lot different) than dogs. I believe that I am a person who you can trust with one of your most prized possessions, your "fur-babies". I love walking, so dog walking is a win win!! Drop in visits are also no problem!! Unfortunately. I am unable to offer pet sitting at this time. I love to walk and especially enjoy walking for a furry companion. Home visits for either dogs and cats are also something I enjoy doing. I am currently unavailable for pet sitting. However, I do prefer walking small or medium dogs and will give them the exercise and/or company they need.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since >1, always making sure they’re comfortable, fed, happy and most importantly safe and loved❤️ I understand what to look out for, following a schedule for over 12+ years with my own dog, and specific cues to communicate with them. I am home for more than three days (plus the weekend) due to my hybrid work schedule and able to go out for walks, potty breaks, and even the park when the weather calls for it. I live in an area where parks are all around me and have an access to a clean car. I just finished babysitting a friends dog which encouraged me to sign up on Rover after hearing great experiences with it. My personal chihuahua, Mimi, passed away due to a old age and I feel that babysitting/taking care of my neighborhood dogs is a great way for me to be surrounded by my favorite animals without investing all my time and resources into another dog of my own- at least until the future🤭

“Cheryl & Elmar each dropped-in to visit my new 10 week old puppy who is adapting to his parents going back to work. Hudson absolutely loved playing with them and they provided plenty of pictures and videos to ensure Hudson was comfortable and having a great time.”

About: What sets me apart is my experience with both puppies and senior pets. I’m patient, attentive, and skilled in giving medications, basic training, and handling special needs. Pet care fits into my routine by prioritizing scheduled walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins daily. I plan my week around each pet’s unique needs and habits. I care for pets by following their usual routine, providing food, exercise, playtime, and medications as needed. I ensure their safety, comfort, and emotional well-being.

“Lauren was wonderful with our 4 cats. I would definitely recommend her as a pet sitter and will be asking her to drop in daily for us again. Our oldest cat required medicine in her food which Lauren was no stranger to, as she has done that with her own animals. The most timid of our cats came out for head scratches by the end of the 5 days - a sure sign that she is gentle and knows animals. She was also able to drop in around the same time each day, which was important for the cat that needed medication and was good for the animals. They are probably less anxious with a routine visiting time. 2 thumbs up!”


“Natalie was just fantastic! She came over for a meet and greet and my dogs instantly loved her. From the moment she met them I could tell she was a dog person and animal lover. Coordinating a drop in with Natalie was super easy. I really appreciate she was able to take my dogs for a walk with only a few days notice. You can't go wrong with Natalie!”


“Maia is the absolute BEST!!!!! When leaving Olaf in her care for dropins, I have a sense of calm knowing she takes such great care of him. She sends daily updates, pictures and is quick to communicate anything that could be out of the ordinary. Highly recommend for anyone needing pet sitting services.”


“Im so happy that I chose Andrea to take care of my cats! Just moved so we didn’t have a steady cat sitter and upon meeting her for the first time she immediately made me comfortable to be leaving the cats with her! Thanks!”

About: Dogs are like children for me. Pet's needs come first than anything else in my life. Dogs live in their families' hearts. For dogs, their family is their world. Dogs never want to be separated from their families even for a day or hours. When their family is away, dogs need more love, more attention, more petting to give them comfort. I never ignore pets. Their company makes me feel loved. Your dog will enjoy more than you when you go on vacation. I would be happy to serve your dog - food cooked by you with no extra charge. Your dog will get GMO free organic treats. You can also provide your dog's favorite treats. No crates - only if owner wants and brings. Your dog will never be alone, complete day and night care. Clean filtered water always next to them day and night. I change their drinking water multiple times. I work part time from hone So I am always available for my dog guest. I order my groceries online when I am watching my dog guest. Your dog will never be left alone in the house. I use gates inside the house if needed for their safety. I walk one dog at a time.

Sara S.
“Sara is one of the most animal loving and caring people I know! Being a mother to many cats, she’s never went a day without showing how much they care and tend for these cats. Aside from caring for her own, she cares about her friends just as much which is why she is one of my best friends! Anyone who gets Sara as a pet sitter or caregiver will be very lucky. They’ll be able to know that their loved pets will be in the hands of someone trustworthy and responsible.”
