“Rhea and Michael should be the first person booked in the Northern NJ area. We forgot to leave the device to get into the house today and they stuck around while I came home to let them in. Our previous dog walker from rover would have said they walked the dog and left. They go above and beyond every time. Simply the best!!!!!!”
“Morgan was fantastic with Kyrie. She walked her a few times this week and made sure to feed her afterwards. Morgan was super nice when we first met her and she took notes on how to care for Kyrie along with great questions she asked to make sure based on the weather. Detail oriented and reliable, thanks so much!!”
“Lovely dog walker. Great touch with Brio.”
About: I love dogs and have had 2 of my own. I also used to foster dogs, and at one time had 8 doggies in my home! I recently lost my 12 year old beagle and am looking to offer my love and time to other people's furry companions. I am available for walks and boarding any time! I work from home so I am able to give lots of love, attention, and walks to your fur baby if they stay with me ❤️ I am happy to book for recurring walks up to 4x/week I live in a quiet neighborhood with a fenced in yard. I live in a shared house, with a separate living space. There is a beagle living in the home (he is very friendly!!), but I can keep him completely separated if need be. Your pet's wellbeing is my top priority. 🐾
“Neil is an amazing dog walker. He is sweet towards Pepper. He is reliable, quick to respond and great all around. Will definitely recommend to any friends or family that may need a dog walker in the area.”
“Brandon was a huge help!! Thank you so much!!”
About: I have grown up around animals all of my life. I moved from Vermont where I lived on a small farm taking care of dogs, horses, and chickens. I now have been in NJ for four years with my fur baby. I have a grey hound Chihuahua who is high energy and loves to play. I will love your fur babies like they are my own. If you want references or to meet me before scheduling please feel free to contact me. Thank you ((-: I work about 30 hour a week at a dental office. I am out at 1pm on Wednsdays, I go into work at 11am on Tuesday and Thursdays, but I am typically free on the weekends. If you have questions about availability please message me. I will only board at home as I see appropriate as I have a tiny dog and occasionally a cat. If you have a small pup and they are friendly this might be an option.
“Sabrina was amazing for the first time with my crazy pup punctual very informed about her time with my dog and sent pics using her again Absolutely loved her”
“Juliana walked my dog for two weeks and she was great! He would get so excited any time he saw her and would come back home very happy as well. Thank you Juliana! :)”
“I highly recommend Ewelina. Ewelina was great with my Rosie. My Rosie who’s a Shih Tzu can be a little difficult at times but was happy to have Ewelina. When she refused to go out for a walk, Ewelina was able to play with her and coax her into putting on her harness and leash. She took great care of her between walking and playing. Will definitely use her again.”
“Elissa is amazing! She is super nice and very responsible. She walks my dog several times a week and I never had an issue. Always on time and she makes sure he gets good exercise and some play time. Highly recommend!”
“John is excellent, reliable, and communicative! My dog loves him.”
About: I have 10 years of pet care experience, working at a doggie daycare, providing drop-ins, housesitting, and training. I have worked with a variety of breeds, from chihuahuas to mastiffs. I am a certified ABC Dog Trainer. I currently work part time. My availability for dog walking, drop-ins, and training is Monday-Wednesday before 2pm, Friday-Saturday after 5pm, and Sunday anytime. For housesitting, please reach out for specific scheduling. You can trust me to follow the guidelines that you have set for your pet.

“It's a glorious peace of mind when u know u have a reliable person who cares for ur pet. We're grateful 🥰 to have an awesome sitter like him to come by the house and watch over our Beloved Buddy 🐕. He was willing to deal with our difficult/defensive pup.U can count on Reujen to respect ur home and make sure ur pets needs are met. He even came during the first real snow storm of the season. He also didn't mind turning our pets snakes light on and off while we were away.”
About: Ive had the pleasure of living with and caring for dogs for 5 years. Being tackled with love by a mastiff everyday means big hairy dogs are definitely not an issue for me. I absolutely love brushing so if you’re tired of it, i’ll take care of that no problem. Between caring for him and my aunts pitbul, i can expertly say big dogs give the best hugs. On the other end we had two Chinese Cresteds. I absolutely adore tiny dogs as well, and know how to keep your hairless dogs warm and moisturized! Ive had to move back to NJ to focus on my education, but nothing could keep me from loving fur babies for long. Leave your baby with me and i promise ill take care of them like my own. Take advantage of my new profile deals! Low prices, high quality <3 During the week I am available from the morning to overnight, except for from 4-6pm some days (i will know in advance). On weekends I work from 6pm-2am. Anytime in between I will be solely focused on caring for your pets. I am not able to do home boarding because my family is allergic to pets. However, I am willing to work out other arrangements :). In your own home it will be just me and your pet/s, i can promise this. I am a profesional and would never disrespect you or your home.
“Thank you so much, Gaby! Bowen is happy and tired after his hourlong walk in the sunshine. I appreciate you checking in about his flea and tick preventives before taking him in the tall grass.”
About: My affinity for animals started at the ripe age of 5 years old! Throughout my childhood, my family had 2 cats and and 1 dog - and I helped attend to their every need! Present day, my family has a golden retriever who I regularly look after. Recently, I personally adopted a spunky little cat named Tiramisu (Misu for short). Over the past 20+ years I’ve cared for both cats and dogs - small and large, active and reserved alike! Prior to utilizing Rover, I've been pet sitting/dog walking for close family and friends since 2016 (on and off). I am currently a freelancer with an open and flexible schedule. I can also adjust my schedule if need be, with notice. I can shift things around to make time for pet drop ins and walks! In my client's homes, I care for their pet, as if they were my own. I ensure a pet has: 1. fresh food, water and/or treats 2. a clean environment (clean litter box/pee pads/accidents cleaned up) 3. entertainment (toys/tv or music background noise) 4. safety with any special gates/locks
