About: I have owned dogs since I was 6 and have experience with caring for four dogs at one time. I currently own two dogs and have owned five in my lifetime. I have been responsible for their care and training, and I am comfortable with both large and small dogs, puppies and seniors, as well as multiple at a time. I have experience caring for pets of friends and neighbors, and I am good at following instructions, as I know how particular pets can be! I am in college and have the ability to work whatever hours fit your needs- early mornings, late nights, weekends. It can be hard to be with your pet 24/7, and I understand that and am willing to work with whatever you may need. I am in college with an irregular schedule, so I can fit your needs at times others cannot. I am willing to work early mornings, late nights, and weekends, and I am experienced in balancing school and work. I see taking care of dogs as more of a passion, so I will work hard to make sure you get the care you deserve. I have experience caring for pets in others' homes, and I am a quick learner. I love detailed instructions; tell me everything I could ever need to know about your pets, and I will work to accommodate them and respect your space.

About: I loveee animals. I grew up with many pets from cute little bunnies, turtles, lizards, birds, dogs and everything in between. I’m very caring which will show in everything I do. Your babies will be my babies, I promise :) I currently work full-time as an elementary teacher. I’m available for boarding your babes on weekends, and weekdays after 4pm. Sometimes I’m off on holidays and I would board then as well. We will always have a great time. Your babe will be free to roam my apartment under my supervision, of course. I also have a large yard, but will keep him on a leash. I can also crate him or her if you prefer. Either way, we will have tons of fun together.

About: My name is Alice, and I have 20+ years of experience with dogs of all breeds & ages. I'm a work-from-home registered nurse, licensed dog walker, and doggie foster mom. I share a home with my wife (she's also at home full-time) and 2 sweet beagles. We limit group sizes, so your pup will have lots of personal attention throughout the day. You can expect plenty of updates with videos and pictures so you can truly relax while you're away. Our schedules are flexible. Doggies are a HUGE part of our day. We love going on walks and being out in the yard. We're super interactive with every dog who stays with us and will suit their unique preferences: fetch, socialization, tug of war, quiet time, cuddles, you name it! Drop-off & Pickup Times: Doggy Day Care 8am - 6pm Overnight Boarding Dropoff after 8am, Pickup before 7pm We have a GIANT flat yard that's fully fenced in for sniffs, fetch, and frolicking. Our doggie guests are treated like family. We have beds throughout the house so everyone can roam and lounge freely. But we can also accommodate shy pups who want a space to themselves. They get plenty of play, supervised yard time, treats, and affection. At the end of the day, our pups are happy campers, and their parents rest easy knowing that they're always excited to return! For those with special needs, such as administering injections or medications, my medical training comes in super handy!!

“Janice was absolutely amazing! It was my first time needing a pet sitter and I was a bit nervous but thanks to Janice I was actually able to enjoy my vacation. She is very kind and you can tell she loves animals, she treated my babies as her own and went above and beyond!! I will definitely be using her again in the future. I cannot stress enough how amazing she is.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years, starting with my own dog during my teen years and continuing with my current dog, Jack — a 9‑year‑old German Shepherd/Chow Chow mix. I trained Jack through his puppy stage and still give him daily walks, playtime, and lots of love. Over the years, I’ve also become the go‑to dog caretaker for friends and family. Whether they’re heading out of town or just need someone to stop by for a playdate, I’m always happy to help. I treat every dog with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because I’m currently in between jobs and have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for dogs. I’m typically available throughout the week during the day for walks, check‑ins, or just spending quality time with your pup. I love filling my days with dog care, so I’m flexible and happy to work around your schedule whenever possible. For drop‑in visits, I focus on making your dog feel comfortable and cared for in their own space. I follow your feeding and routine instructions closely, refresh water, give plenty of attention, and make sure they get the playtime or quiet time they prefer. I always take a gentle, reassuring approach so your pup feels safe while you’re away. For dog‑walking services, I make each walk enjoyable and stress‑free. I tailor the pace and route to your dog’s energy level and comfort, keep walks positive and safe, and make sure they get the exercise and stimulation they need. After each walk, I ensure they’re settled and content before I leave. My goal with both services is to provide warm, reliable care that keeps your dog happy and gives you peace of mind throughout the day.

“Tom showed up on time and quickly got acquainted with our doggies. Doggies warmed up to him quickly. He spent some time with them as we will need him for future visits. He seems to be truly caring for furry friends.”

About: My love for animals is like no other. I have had many pets since I was born and given them all a wonderful life. I have sorted for family, friends, and strangers who have all trusted me to take the best care of their pets. I enjoy playing, walking, or just hanging out with dogs or cats of all breeds and sizes. My current dog is a rescue who is blind so I also have experience with medicine like pills, drops, etc. I am working part time and doing school online so I am very flexible with my times and availability I can be ready for you whenever you need me. I have a big fenced in yard for your dog to play and go potty and I also have a very friendly dog who loves all other dogs. All the dogs are welcome to all my house and will have treats and toys available!

“carly is amazing! our dog loved her and she kept us updated all day with pictures and texts. she even helped teach her some new tricks :)”

About: Hello! Thank you for checking out my profile! I live in Asbury Park, however, I’ll be dogsitting in Montclair from Dec. 25-31 so I now have my page set to Montclair to be available for holiday week dog walks. Since I was a child, I’ve taken care of dogs of every kinds, cats, turtles, fish, rabbits, hamsters, and chickens. I’m open to taking care of a snake but I might need a minute to get comfortable! I grew up with a sweet bichon frise and cocker spaniel. In 2016, I started house sitting and walking dogs for clients, neighbors, friends, and family. I have experience with all dogs- young, old, and special needs. I have given medication to cats and dogs for medical conditions and separation anxiety, in addition to providing extra love and care. I love animals and would be glad to help you have a wonderful vacation knowing your pets are well cared for! If you have any questions, feel free to be in touch. I’m available for dog walks, pet drop-ins, and housesitting in the pet parent’s home on weekdays and weekends. I taught special education for the last ten years but will not be returning this year, so my availability has opened up. A little more about my background: I earned a Bachelor of Science in Community Health Education with a concentration in Health Promotion and Culture and a Master of Education in Special Education. Before changing careers to teaching, I worked with veterans and at a free health clinic as the Community Health Education Coordinator. I can provide house sitting in your home and take care of your pet’s individual needs. At this time, I cannot board pets in mine. Unfortunately, my landlord won’t allow pets.

About: I’ve fostered senior dogs through a local rescue and have cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds, including housesitting for multiple dogs at once. I'm currently working from home part time, so my schedule is fairly flexible and I've got plenty of time for individual attention for your pup(s)! I will follow your detailed instructions about your pet's preferences, likes/dislikes, the amount of time they need to be walked, and if/how you like to be contacted if I encounter anything out of the ordinary.

About: I have lifelong experience as a pet owner/lover as well as a decade of walking and caretaking experience. I specifically have developed excellent walking etiquette and liken myself to a walk-trainer for younger dogs 🐾 I am self employed which gives me more than ample time to give my utmost attention to your babies. I also take a two (or more) mile walk everyday already so it's always a great joy to have companions/break it up throughout the day! I live in a duplex with access to the fenced in front yard in an extremely safe neighborhood. There is also a crate, pee pads, treats, beds, love abundant in the home.

About: Hello! I'm an experienced dog lover offering personalized, attentive care for your furry friend in a safe and loving home environment. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I bring a lifetime of hands-on experience to every stay. I currently share my home with a sweet 16-year-old Chorkie, so I am well-versed in the patience and care that senior dogs sometimes require. Your dog will be welcomed into a calm and happy space. For safety and peace of mind, my home features a securely fenced backyard perfect for supervised playtime and bathroom breaks. I specialize in caring for small to medium-sized breeds. When your dog stays with me, they'll be treated like family. I look forward to meeting you both! I currently work from home during the week and home on the weekends enjoying the neighborhood and family. I am flexible and willing to accommodate and do pick up if necessary Maintain Routine: Strictly follow the owner's schedule for feeding times, medication, walks, and potty breaks. Food and Water: Provide the correct amount of food and fresh water, and clean bowls. Exercise: Walk dogs for the specified time/distance, and provide playtime/stimulation for all pets (cats, small animals, etc.). Litter/Waste: Scoop the litter box daily, pick up dog waste from the yard, and clean up any accidents inside. Safety/Comfort: Ensure pets are secured (leash, harness, closed gates/doors) and check on anxious or shy pets.

About: I am a Pawsome Companion! I have been around pets most of my life, and I've been caring for cats and dogs for the last 15 years. I am very comfortable with either, and most comment about how comfortable their pets seem when they first meet me. I give them all lots of attention, belly or chin rubs (whatever they like best), and treats when Mom or Dad says that's ok. I'm new to Rover, but not new to treating your furbaby exactly how I'd treat mine - with love and care! Right now I'm doing pet care and sitting for both cats and dogs, and I'm available most days when I'm not caring for other pets already. I'm very responsive, and responsible, and looking forward to meeting and loving your precious ones. I'm ready to be a "Pawsome Companion" to your pet. Your pets are your family, but you can't always be with them or take them with you, so, I provide loving pet sitting for cats and dogs, dog walking, medicine administration, cuddles, and more! I treat all of them (and your homes) as I'd want you to treat mine. with loving and responsible care.
