“Lana was a loving mom to our cat Aeva! Lana not only gave food and cleaned poop, she played and spoilt Aeva until she purred contentedly... Lana even visited her twice on a day where she had a family event and is not business minded whatsoever!”

“Christella is the best. Don't hesitate, book her! She was so patient with my two puppies one of which is going through his a hole phase. I couldn't have found a better person to help out with them!”

“Randi was great! She Took care of our two cats while we were out of town for the week. She made sure to take photos and keep us updated with how they were doing the whole time!”


“Always great to have Daniela visit our two cats, who love to see her. She provides them their ‘evening’ treats and spends time to love them up when we are away. It’s a great comfort to have Dani visit and ensure all is well when we are away.”

About: Though many people believe that it does not take a lot of experience to be good at walking dogs, it actually requires a number of skills. Consider first, how much you love your pets, and how you would feel if they were lost, taken for granted, and/or mistreated by an individual you are paying. This is why you must have a candidate who knows about different breeds of dogs, is on time, and know how to care for dogs in feeding, playing, and walking dogs. Moreover, they must love dogs-otherwise all will be amiss. I have been walking dogs as a profession for the past three years, and 15-20 years before that for my own dogs. I love animals, and have all the skills and experience you might be interested in.
“Tori was amazing! She took all the toy carnage my dogs did in stride and cleaned up the necessary stuff. She followed directions, took them for walks, played with them when they had too much energy, and cleaned an accidental pee spot … which I cannot see. I’d hate to highly recommend her, then not be able to book her for dog care in the future ? Seriously? Amazing work. ?”


“Jack is a wonderful pet sitter who took excellent care of our kitten when we were out of town! Right off the bat when I first met him I got an excellent first impression. He truly cares about animals, he is trustworthy, professional. Thank you Jack!”

About: I have grown up around dogs and have always loved being around them. I regularly help walk and spend time with my friends’ dogs, and I truly enjoy taking them out for walks or runs. I am very active and enjoy exercising, so I am a great match for dogs that need energy and movement. I am patient, attentive, and always make sure dogs feel safe and comfortable during walks. I’m currently available on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays from 6 AM to 3 PM. I’m a college student with a part time job, so my schedule may vary slightly, but I always communicate in advance and do my best to stay flexible and reliable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I pay close attention to details like secure leashing, surroundings, and your pet’s behavior at all times. I carefully follow all care instructions and routines to keep things consistent and stress free. I also keep pet parents updated with messages and photos, so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every home and pet with respect, patience, and care.

About: Hello! My name is Alena, and working with animals is my true passion. I have extensive experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds, as well as an invaluable background working in the veterinary department of an animal center. I am also Fear Free trained, which means I use specialized techniques to prevent and alleviate fear, anxiety, and stress in pets. This experience allows me to understand dog behavior deeply and handle pets with special needs, anxiety, or high energy. At home, I have a cat named Amber who prefers not to live with dogs. Because of this, my home boarding is exclusively open to foster cats. I am happy to offer walking, drop-in visits and pet sitting. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to fully adapt to your pet's established routine. Whether it’s maintaining a strict feeding schedule, timely medication administration, or structured walks, I ensure their day looks exactly like it does when you are home. Keeping a consistent routine is key to minimizing stress. Safety is my top priority. Thanks to my experience in a veterinary shelter department and Fear Free training I create a secure environment for every pet. I strictly follow all care instructions, and keep a close eye on their well-being. I am fully confident in administering medications and maintaining emergency protocols if needed.
About: I don’t just watch pets but I truly bond with them! I’ve had my own cats for years and have been the trusted dog sitter for my family and friends since college, so I’ve seen it all and loved every minute of it. I’ll make sure to send you plenty of photos so you can see exactly how much fun they're having. My goal is to make sure your furry babies feel safe, happy, and totally spoiled while you’re away! I have flexible in office days but typically go in on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. I will be home all day Monday and Friday as I usually don’t make plans during the week. I’m mostly home over the weekend if I don’t make plans. I make sure to regularly update my availability to reflect my exact schedule, so you can always count on me being there when I say I will. My husband is also around most of times! Whether it’s a workday or the weekend, your pet will have constant companionship and a steady routine. My priority is keeping your pet’s routine as normal as possible to keep them happy and stress free. In my home, your pet becomes part of the family, with plenty of cozy spots for naps, dedicated playtime, and a safe, supervised environment where they can feel right at home. Regardless of the setting, I make sure they get all the exercise, cuddles, and mental stimulation they need, topped off with daily updates to let you know how they’re doing. I live in a spacious 2 bedroom so your pet will have plenty of space to roam around as well. I would love to have a details and instructions as I know every pet is different and I’m very good at following the instructions!
“I am so happy we found Candiance to check in on our doggy. She is so patient and understanding to our dog’s needs. She has great communication and it was easy for me to trust her to care for our dog.”


“Leslie is GREAT!! I was really worried because I have 2 rescues that are super sweet and needy. He even came to meet them the day before, and they loved him. He sent pics and all, I'll def use him again!”

About: I grew up around animals, and pets just make everything better. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and cats: walks, cuddles, playtime, all of it. I pay close attention to each pet's personality because every animal is different. I also follow routines, like, feeding times, walking routes, medication schedules if needed. Your fur baby will never sit alone wondering where everyone went. Senior pets and anxious dogs get extra gentleness from me -no rushing, no stress. I'll send you updates and photos because I know you'll miss them. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work regular weekday hours (9 to 5), but my husband works from home frequently, so pets are never left alone for long. I'm available for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins on weekdays (time tbd), and have a general flexible availability on weekends. I keep a consistent routine: same walk times, same feeding windows because pets thrive on predictability. Our home in Union City, NJ is calm, clean, and pet-friendly. No loud chaos, no other animals to stress yours out. I take leash safety seriously on every walk, no distractions. I'm comfortable with crates if that's what your pet is used to. I'll always follow your specific instructions because you know your pet best. Any concerns and I'll text you immediately.
About: Hi! I’m Natalia, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals. Activities like walking, being in nature, and staying active are a big part of my lifestyle, which naturally fits well with caring for pets. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs with different personalities and needs. I’ve cared for three cats, including two that were very calm and affectionate, and one that was initially more distant and cautious. With patience and a gentle approach, I was able to build trust over time, helping the cat feel more comfortable and open to interaction. I’ve also cared for a small dog with hip dysplasia. I followed the owner’s instructions closely to support the dog’s comfort, including gentle handling and basic massage. Since the dog couldn’t use stairs, I would carefully carry them when needed. This experience taught me to be attentive, patient, and mindful of a pet’s physical limitations. What sets me apart is my patience and attention to detail. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always adapt my care accordingly. Whether it’s an energetic pet that needs engagement or a more sensitive one that needs space, I focus on creating a calm and safe environment. I’m reliable and respectful of routines, including feeding, walks, and any specific care instructions. My goal is to make pets feel secure and cared for, while giving owners complete peace of mind. I would love the opportunity to care for your pet and create a positive, stress-free experience for both of you. My schedule is structured, but I offer reliable availability for specific types of care. I work in the afternoons and evenings (typically from 4:00 PM to around 11:00 PM), so I’m not available during those hours. However, I have flexibility in the mornings and early afternoons, especially if scheduled in advance. From Tuesday to Saturday, I can often accommodate morning visits or adjust my schedule when needed. I’m also available for overnight stays if your pet needs care during the night. Sundays and Mondays are my most flexible days, with greater availability throughout the day—especially Mondays. I’m happy to coordinate with pet owners to find a schedule that works best for both sides while ensuring pets receive consistent and attentive care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always aim to follow their usual routines as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any specific instructions provided. I make sure the environment is clean, safe, and calm, and I’m respectful of the client’s home at all times. I also provide updates and photos, so owners can feel reassured while they are away. My priority is to create a stress-free experience for both the pet and the owner by being attentive, reliable, and caring.
Union City dog parents share their Rover experiences
Haziza is the absolute best!!! My dog cheddar adores Haziza. She is always so punctual, communicative, friendly, and just overall a fantastic person to look after your furry little pal. We have rebooked Haziza again and again, and I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Daisy was absolutely amazing! I needed a last minute sitter and she went above and beyond. She provided regular updates, detailed report cards after each visit, and sent so many great photos that gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It was very clear she genuinely cared and treated my pup so well. I would absolutely book with Daisy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and communicative sitter.

Victoria was fabulous! She took care of our epileptic dog while we were on vacation, making sure he had his medicine on time every day, twice a day. He adores her! Even though we were on the other side of the world, we never had to worry about him. Our other dog is afraid of her own shadow, but I saw her warming up very slowly to Victoria. I can’t wait to book her for more visits.

Anthony was amazing! I reached out last minute to see if he could take my puppy Ginny out, and he was super responsive and accommodating. He showed up right on time, was great with her, and clearly knows how to handle dogs with care and patience. Ginny came back happy and well taken care of, which gave me so much peace of mind. I really appreciated his flexibility and reliability. I would definitely book him again!
