“Laura did a great job and gave me real peace of mind when I was on vacation. We had very hot weather and I appreciated her letting me know that the house temperature was cool and they had plenty of water”


“First time I have used a pet sitter for my 2 pups, I had Lidia come over for 2 drop in visits while I was away for Thanksgiving day. She followed the instructions I left to the tee and kept me updated on how Dante and Preston were doing. I could not be happier with the job she did and will book her again when needed.”


About: I've taken care of pets for the majority of my life. From caring for my own furry and feathered family members to watching pets for my neighbors and friends and caring for the facility dogs at my job, I have a second heart for animals. Experience with puppies, elders, high energy working dogs, and dogs with trauma. I'm currently studying for my boards exam to be a physical therapist and working part time with a pretty flexible schedule. Last minute requests available! Care instructions for your pet will be followed as closely as possible. I'll care for you pet and your home as I would my own. Your pet's safety and comfort are my first priority.

“Caitlin was super accommodating accepting my request 1 day before as I urgently needed a backup sitter for a drop in. We scheduled our meet up the same day the request was submitted, and once her and Harlem were acquainted, I felt comfortable enough to trust someone to do a drop in. Harlem can be high energy, but Caitlin took such good care of him. She followed my instructions and provided constant updates during her visit along with pictures. I would rebook with Caitlin again and recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can trust their fur baby with. Harlem says thank you, Caitlin!! :)”


About: I’ve raised and trained my own dogs from puppyhood and have extensive hands-on experience caring for pets with both routine and special needs. I've fostered animals, administered medications, and even cared for pets recovering from serious illnesses like Parvo. I understand the patience, attention, and love that pets need at every stage of life—whether it's a playful pup or a senior companion needing extra care. Your pet’s well-being and comfort are always my top priority. As a student with a flexible schedule, pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. I'm only on campus three days a week for a few hours, and the rest of the time I can do my schoolwork from anywhere. That means I’m available to spend quality time with your pet—whether it's for regular walks, playtime, or just keeping them company throughout the day. Your pet will never feel like an afterthought; they’ll get the time, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities, whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine. I take time to understand each pet’s unique needs, routines, and personality to make sure they feel secure and at ease. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and keep everything clean and consistent with your pet’s routine. In my home, pets have a calm, safe, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, enrichment, and affection. I always follow any instructions you provide down to the smallest detail—whether it’s feeding, medications, crate training, or just their favorite way to be petted. I also provide regular updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring, capable hands.

About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 18 years old. I’m experienced in giving medications to dogs who need it. I take them on walks during the day (if that’s something they are used to) and give them lots of attention. My work schedule is very flexible. Making it easy to stay with pets for longer periods of time during the day. With only some evening events for work, pets get the most attention while sitting. I have been watching pets at their own home, I go above and beyond with love while their parent is away. I make sure the get all the attention they miss while their parents are away.

“Andrea was excellent with my senior dog Leo. She agreed to a meet and greet to get familiar with Leo. For the drop in, she came early, provided pictures and updates on his food/water intake. She made sure he was taken out to do his business and carried him due to his age. I will definitely be booking her again.”


“Enis was great with Teddy! This was our first time using Rover and we were very satisfied with the promptness and care Teddy received. Enis was booked somewhat last minute and was very accommodating, came to meet Teddy ahead of time and was able to stop by twice when we were out for the day. We received Rover cards and photos right after each visit which was so nice. Would gladly book Enis again.”


“It's such a comfort and reassurance to know Geoff and Jenny are taking excellent care of our two cats when we're away. They're attentive, patient, and can deal with our senior boys' special food and medication needs without issues. I'm so happy we can count on them!”


About: I have a Dalmatian (my cancer survivor!) and my French Bulldog! I have owned and walked furry friends for over 10+ years and i am currently a dog walker for friends, family members and neighbors. I am compassionate, responsible, reliable and thorough. I have my own form of transportation. Iphone with portable charger. My schedule is flexible and i also work on holidays! I have experience with dogs who pull and who are all different shapes, colors and sizes. I also train, do gland expressing, nail trimming and dog poop removal from yard all for separate charges! Please Contact me at any time regarding questions or specifics you have with your pet. Walks, play time, maybe teach some new tricks!

Also, always mopped and vacuumed! I do not feed anything to your pet unless you give it to me at booking.

About: I have a lot of experience with dogs of all sizes and behaviors. In my teen years, my family would often take in dogs coworker’s and family friend’s dogs. That gave me plenty of experience with one on one care. At home I currently have a 8 year old Rottweiler named Coco. She can be a bit temperamental, so I am used to dogs with specific boundaries (i.e. no petting). I am a very loving and caring pet owner, who can’t wait to meet yours! I just graduated from Montclair State, so my schedule has freed up significantly! I’m available most days as long as I am booked relatively ahead of time. I very thoroughly take care of pets. All I want is for them to be happy, healthy, and safe. If there are any specific care requirements, please let me know.

About: I adore dogs of all shapes and sizes! From tiny Chihuahuas and French Bulldogs to larger mixes, I match their energy .

Now a devoted cat mom as well, my love for animals goes far beyond any one species. Whether it’s walks, playtime, training, or snuggles, I ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and cherished, pouring my heart into giving them attention, companionship, and love. I’m a nursing student currently on a four-week break, giving me plenty of time to provide pets with love, attention, and consistent care.

I care for pets with love, energy, and full attention! I raised my cat from a tiny one-week-old kitten, learning to bottle-feed, litter train, and read every little cue from when they want to play, cuddle, or have alone time.

Need someone to pop in to check on your fur baby I can do that too. Need someone to pop in to check on your fur baby I can do that. Experience in feeding, play and loving with your pets safety as a priority.

“I was grateful for Donna's help sitting for my two cats during a holiday. The cats warmed up to her immediately as did I. She was loving and attentive to their needs, monitoring one of my cats with a finicky stomach and going above and beyond to make sure both were happy and healthy while I was away. I would definitely use her services again.”
