Thank you so much for taking care of our fur babies. Leslie and Rich”
“Lisa was amazing! We had to make last minute adjustments for a trip out of the country for my Ella to stay with her. She was patient and understanding. The best part is when I went to pick my girl up after not seeing her for 10 days, she was still herself. It's obvious that Lisa has a love for animals. I would recommend to anyone :)”

About: Need a responsible adult to take care of your fur babies? Going away for the weekend and need someone to feed the cats & check on the house? Heading out after work but need to let the dog out? (Cue the music...)That's me! I grew up with dogs and a hamster, then adopted 2 cats out of college. Now married with 2 children, we are sharing our lives and home with our elderly German-Shorthaired-Point (adopted in 2010). In addition, I have helped my neighbors by taking their dogs for walks and dropping in to feed their 3 cats while they were away for the weekend. Spending time with animals makes my heart happy. Please consider me to help care for your pet. I am currently offering drop-in visits or Dog-Walking. I have a full-time job September to June (Monday - Friday), so my availability is on the weekends. However, July & August, I am available 7 days a week. I am currently offering drop in visits or dog-walking. My goal is to follow all directions provided, especially in maintaining routines, ensuring safety through secured environments, and providing some time for companionship. Key tasks by the pet owner can include feeding, administering medication, exercising, and cleaning up any messes. I will also maintain communication with the pet owner with updates.
About: I am an energetic, fit, happy, mature and reliable work from home mom of a 12yo dog. I have been sitting for friends and family for decades. I am looking to add some more dog happiness to my life by helping you with your dog care, sitting, walking (jogging), and playing needs. I have lots more love and affection to share and plenty of flexibility in my schedule to fill in the gaps for you and your pup. I can't wait to meet them and you! Boarding in my home will be limited to just your dog(s) so that your pet(s) and mine are receiving the attention and love they deserve. I am not currently working full time so I have flexibility to spend time and bond with your precious fur baby - no skimping on the attention! I have a large fenced yard and a dog door for my own boy (and we go for lots of walks too). We love to snuggle on the couch and play freely. It is a very loving and fun environment.
“We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter than Alixandra! Our two very timid cats are usually wary of new people, but by the end of the week, they were waiting for her on the front chair, peeking through the window, eager for her to arrive. It was incredible to see how quickly they became comfortable with her. Alixandra is reliable, attentive, and clearly has a way with animals. Knowing our two cats were in such good hands gave us so much peace of mind. Highly recommend!”
“We have a big, strong German Shepherd. We needed someone who could handle him and who he was comfortable around. At our initial meet and greet we knew Jonathan was that person! Moose took to him right away and Jonathan was able to get Moose to calm down and listen to him. Jonathan came today for three walks. He had no trouble getting Moose in and out of his crate, feeding him, walking and playing with him. When we got home this afternoon Moose was calm…and tired! Jonathan sent updates and photos during all three visits and it was easy to see how well they were getting along. Moose can be reactive to cars, dogs, etc. on his walks and Jonathan let me know about Moose’s behavior and handled him without trouble. I highly recommend Jonathan!”

She squeezed in time to meet us before booking, and even fit in a last day of visits despite a calendar glitch. We'll definitely book with Annette again!”
About: I got my first animal when I was 3 years old, a cat named Theodore Roosevelt. Since then I’ve had 2 dogs and another cat personally. But as anyone in my close inner circle would tell you, I have been entrusted by friends and family to care for their animals as well. I’m trusted because they know my love for animals and that I’ll keep them safe and make sure they’re loved! I have a full time work from home position which allows my schedule to be very flexible. Unfortunately my apartment building does not allow any pets so I cannot have pets at my apartment, but I’m more than happy to fit into your schedule and stay for extended periods of time if needed including overnight! I just need my laptop and charger if it’s a weekday :) I will follow any instructions you provide. I’m familiar providing care to puppies as well as senior dogs. One of my current dogs now is 11 years old so I understand the need for important medications, etc.
About: I am a Cat Mom of 3 (Aged: 1, 4, 16) beautiful cats that I have trained to be well behaved and loving fur babies. I grew up having dogs my whole life. I am fit/athletic so no dog is too big for me, with that being said i love the outdoors and to be active so if your dog needs some nature enrichment or exercise i’m the sitter you want in your contacts. On the other hand if your dog likes the indoors we can have fun or relax aswell! I actively co-parent a new puppy with my sister which we have successfully clicker trained to do tricks and obey. At the end of the day your animals well-being is my number 1 priority. i look forward to meeting you and your animals! I currently have FULL availability to watch and take care of your animals! i am extremely flexible and accommodating, if you need something special just ask! Most importantly I treat your animals how i would treat my own, with love and respect! As I stated previously my number one priority is your animals well-being and safety!
About: I am a lifelong animal lover, and have over 10 years experience in petsitting! Every single animal I’ve gotten to know leaves a lasting impression on me. I have had dogs my entire life, and have been through every stage of life with them. As well as the extra care that comes with them — whether it be medicine, extra potty breaks, feeding routines, messes, or whatever they need. I know how important it is to show love and attention to our pets from puppy to senior. I carry that love and responsibility with me to new pets I meet and care for! I understand what a privilege it is to be trusted with them, and it’s something I really take to heart that clients have trusted me to do. Our “pets” are our family! My priority is making sure you and them feel comfortable and safe during the time I get to spend with them. Every pet has their own quirks and routines, and learning those things are one of the things I enjoy most about doing this. I have two dogs, Koda and Kavik! My sister takes over while I am away. They both have plenty of quirks, but it makes them who they are and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I’ve spent time from a few days to a month with dogs and cats, ranging from a single pet to four of each! All different types, sizes, and ages. Each and every one of them were a pleasure and I appreciate the trust that comes with having someone look after them and stay in your home! Please reach out for any further details or questions! I’m happy to answer and want to make sure you are comfortable. I currently have plenty of open time to spend with your animals! I have my own dogs, but live with family who share the caretaking responsibilities. I keep a safe and clean environment for your pets to roam or crate them if needed. I have experience administering medication and taking care of dogs and cats that need special attention and care. I like to take detailed notes and pictures on how you prefer your pet to be taken care of to make sure I’m taking care of them and on top of your pets needs.

About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and have experience dog sitting for friends and family.

I genuinely enjoy being around animals and treat every dog as if they were my own, providing plenty of attention, patience, and care. Here’s a professional response you can use on Rover: I recently transitioned away from my full-time job, which means I now have a very flexible schedule and much more availability for pet care.

About: I was so fortunate to grow up with pets of my own. When I was in college, I had several families who I taught piano to their children ask me to walk their dogs and also to stay at their homes while they traveled. I naturally enjoyed it, and the families started referring me to other people. I have had the opportunity to care for dogs, cays, birds, fish, bunnies, ferretts, and reptiles. I'm now a mom to 3 children who also love animals. We have a 5 year old cockapoo who thinks he's one of the kids, because he's such an important piece of our family. I have had the opportunity over the years to gain experience working with puppies and kittens through geriatric age. I have also helped families with general training to help them keep up their routine. I am not a trainer. I am however happy to utilize commands you share with me to provide the best relationship and care for your pup. I am very fortunate to have a very flexible schedule which has allowed me to grow wonderful relationships with local families I have a very flexible schedule and can usually take same day appointments. I'm happy to help however I can. I feel fortunate to have the flexible schedule that I do! I prefer to care for pets at your home. It is important to me to know all information that will keep your pet safe! What is your pet's routine like? How do they react to new people? How do they react to a new person when you're not around? Do you have a fenced in yard to play in or prefer only a leashed walk? What are words that you use when another dog is approaching or if you don't want your dog to try to chase a squirrel? Do you provide positive reinforcement? Are you currently working on any training? Has your dog ever shown aggression? How friendly is your dog with other dogs? These are some examples of the things it is very important for us to discuss so that I can ensure I am fully prepared for any situation as your pup and I become new friends and get to know each other.
About: I’ve had multiple pets throughout my life whom I loved and took care of well through all stages of their lives. I’ve worked with dogs on basic commands and cared for my dog that passed from years of cancer. Most of my care was toward my own pets, but I love all animals! I am currently home for the summer, and I have a pretty open schedule to walk, check in on, and pet sit! My schedule is very flexible to work with whatever time I’m needed. I have a fenced in yard with grass, as well as a pool in the backyard. I no longer have any pets of my own, but many toys!
About: As a full-time Realtor who works from home, I offer your dog something most sitters can’t, constant companionship. Your pup won't be waiting by the door for a 5:00 PM return, they’ll be my co-worker all day! Enjoying a flexible schedule that prioritizes their needs. I’m an naturally active person and a local expert on our neighborhood. My home is perfectly situated right across the street from a park and just a short stroll from the Arnold Avenue strip, meaning our daily walks are filled with new sights and great energy. Whether your dog prefers quiet desk-side naps or high-energy outdoor adventures, my professional flexibility allows me to tailor the day to their specific personality. You get the peace of mind that comes with a responsible professional, and your dog gets a fun, active, and fully supervised home away from home. Because I am a Realtor with a home-based office, my schedule is designed around being present and responsive. Your dog becomes my shadow throughout the workday; while I’m handling contracts and calls, they are enjoying supervised indoor playtime or napping right by my desk. My routine is naturally active, and I break up my work blocks with frequent outdoor excursions. Since I live right across from the park and steps from Arnold Ave, we head out for multiple walks a day to stretch our legs and get some fresh air. My professional flexibility means I can easily adjust my 'office hours' to accommodate your dog’s specific feeding, potty, or exercise needs. Whether it's a mid-morning stroll or an afternoon adventure, your pup is integrated into a consistent, high-energy, and fully supervised daily flow. In my home, your dog is my full-time office companion. Since I work from my desk throughout the day, your pup enjoys constant supervision and plenty of 'desk-side' affection. Our routine is built around our incredible location—we take frequent breaks to head across the street to the park or stroll down toward Arnold Ave for some fresh air and socialization. My home is a calm, professional environment where your dog can relax in their favorite spot while I work, punctuated by high-energy outdoor adventures to keep them happy and tired.

“Nicole visited Wyatt Sunshine on thanksgiving! This is our 2nd time with Nicole. She has priven to be responsible, punctual & caring to each pups needs. She Communicates very well too!”
About: Lifelong cat expert and passionate dog sitter! Even though I’ve grown up, watched, and cared for cats since I was born, I have then transferred this experience to the pups around me. Whether in my family or in my close circle of friends, I extend my compassion and care to all animals In the morning when I’m up for work I feed my cats. When I have free time before I leave I play with them, and of course when I come home I give them a warm greeting. They are fed again at night and I make sure to give them all the snuggles, love, and playtime inbetween it all. My cats are STRICTLY indoor cats and do not leave the house. They are trained to run away when the door opens but Luna sometimes gets curious about outside
“Meredith was amazing, my dogs loved her! I have an 80lb Weimaraner and 26lb beagle and they aren’t the easiest dogs to walk together. My Weimaraner can be reactive to other dogs, sometimes pulls, and they both sort of go their different paces with the beagle stopping to sniff constantly. My neighbors and family that saw her out with my dogs said she handled them beautifully and we had no issues. My Weim also doesn’t love everyone he meets, and he immediately took to her, trying to lean/snuggle with Meredith, so she must give off the good vibes to animals. Meredith was also very communicative. I never worried that she wouldn’t show and an added bonus was the photos she sent. I would definitely recommend using Meredith and will use her again myself :)”
“Had the pleasure of Johnathan walking my boy Kingston today. I always tend to get a bit nervous due to the stigma behind his breed & people who have underlining fear but Johnathan was confident and reassuring that he could handle my big boy who is very loving but is heavy lol. He came back very happy with a big dorky wet smile , I would absolutely recommend especially if you have big dogs who like to tug a bit on the leash 🙏🏽❤️”

“Pamela did a great job walking our 2yr old German Shepherd while we were out of town. It was a huge relief to have such a reliable and experienced dog owner taking care of our girl!”
“Samantha took great care of our Gokdendoodle Gracie when we were away . She sent us pictures and comments of her care. Highly recommend her to care for any of your pets. Thanks Samantha ??”
“We were very happy with Grace and she took great care of our girl while we were gone for a long day! She took our pup on a nice long walk and sent us photo updates which we very much appreciated. We will definitely use Grace again in the future.”
“This was our first time having Lisa walk our Kirbie. We always wanted someone to dog sit/walk Kirbie. Now, we feel confident that we found that with Lisa. Kirbie simply loves her! Thank you Lisa.”
“Five stars for John, no question! Charlie was so well taken care of — John sent us tons of cute photos and it was obvious how much he adored him. We felt completely at ease knowing Charlie was in such loving hands. Highly recommend! 🐾”
About: Hi! I’m Amanda, a nurse and lifelong animal lover who is brand new to Rover and so excited to be here. Caring for others has always been a huge part of who I am, both professionally and personally, and that same level of compassion, patience, and attentiveness carries over into the way I care for pets. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family members. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and anxious, or needs a little extra patience and TLC, I’m happy to meet them where they are and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a nurse, safety, reliability, and attention to detail are second nature to me. I take caring for pets very seriously, from secure leashes and locked gates to making sure routines, medications, feeding schedules, and special instructions are followed closely. I know how nerve wracking it can feel leaving your pets with someone new, so my goal is to give you peace of mind while giving your pets lots of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy making time for pet care throughout my week. I work as a nurse, so being dependable, communicative, and attentive comes naturally to me. I’m excited to be starting my journey on Rover and look forward to building lasting relationships with both pets and their owners Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I pay close attention to details like secure leashes, closed gates, feeding instructions, medications, and routines to make sure every pet is safe and cared for. As a nurse and lifelong animal lover, I understand how important trust is when leaving your pets with someone, and I’ll care for them like they’re my own.
About: I have 3 Shih Tzu’s. I also have been working for a Professional dog walking company. I have watched 3 dogs at my home for weeks at a time when a couple of my friends go away. I’m retired after working more then 30 years at Brick Township High School. I love dogs! I have a flexible schedule as of right now. I’m walking a few dogs a week for a Company. I’m retired. Looking too keep busy and get my walking in also. I have a truck so snow and rain will not stop me. I’m very experienced walking dogs and ensuring they are safe. I’ve walked big strong Labs and small dogs also. I am trust worthy and could House sit/dog sit if required. I also have gone to homes 4 times a day while a client is away and walk them/feed them, etc.
“Meg was great! She stepped up last minute to walk my dog in the cold and I couldn’t recommend her more. My dog was instantly comfortable with her when we did our meetup, and she made me feel at ease with pictures, videos, and updates of him after each walk. She was also very thoughtful and brought over salt to sprinkle on my property after the big storm without even being asked. She went above and beyond and I will definitely be booking with her again next time I go away. Thanks again Meg!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and have experience dog sitting for friends and family. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and treat every dog as if they were my own, providing plenty of attention, patience, and care. Here’s a professional response you can use on Rover: I recently transitioned away from my full-time job, which means I now have a very flexible schedule and much more availability for pet care. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, daycare, boarding, and last-minute requests throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. Caring for pets is my priority, so I can provide reliable, attentive care and work with your schedule to meet your pet’s needs. I look forward to giving every pet the love, attention, and exercise they deserve! I will care for your dog according to their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and at home. This includes feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention and affection. If your dog is crate-trained, I can safely crate them when needed and follow any specific instructions you provide. My goal is to make sure every dog in my care feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
About: I am an energetic, fit, happy, mature and reliable work from home mom of a 12yo dog. I have been sitting for friends and family for decades. I am looking to add some more dog happiness to my life by helping you with your dog care, sitting, walking (jogging), and playing needs. I have lots more love and affection to share and plenty of flexibility in my schedule to fill in the gaps for you and your pup. I can't wait to meet them and you! Boarding in my home will be limited to just your dog(s) so that your pet(s) and mine are receiving the attention and love they deserve. I am not currently working full time so I have flexibility to spend time and bond with your precious fur baby - no skimping on the attention! I have a large fenced yard and a dog door for my own boy (and we go for lots of walks too). We love to snuggle on the couch and play freely. It is a very loving and fun environment.
About: Hi, I’m Alix, a lifelong animal lover with 20+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve had the joy of raising a big, lovable Bouvier, two adorable Yorkies—one had diabetes who needed daily insulin shots—and I’ve shared my home with a playful Frenchie. Now, I live with two Bouviers and a very spoiled Tuxedo cat, so I’m no stranger to dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities! I know how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust, and I’ll treat your furry family like my own. Whether it’s belly rubs, playtime, or a leisurely stroll, I’m here to make their day the best it can be. It’s a pet’s life, and I’m lucky to be living in it! I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule. I can care for your furry friend at any time during the weekdays and weekends too. Pets I care for get regular feeding or feeding based on dietary needs, along with regular exercise. They always have access to drinking water. I take them out to the bathroom regularly and ensure they either have a safe fenced in area to play or walk them on a leash. I take dogs I care for a walk to maintain exercise. I always ensure to have the number of their vet for any emergencies. I also make sure to give them plenty of love!!
About: I got my first animal when I was 3 years old, a cat named Theodore Roosevelt. Since then I’ve had 2 dogs and another cat personally. But as anyone in my close inner circle would tell you, I have been entrusted by friends and family to care for their animals as well. I’m trusted because they know my love for animals and that I’ll keep them safe and make sure they’re loved! I have a full time work from home position which allows my schedule to be very flexible. Unfortunately my apartment building does not allow any pets so I cannot have pets at my apartment, but I’m more than happy to fit into your schedule and stay for extended periods of time if needed including overnight! I just need my laptop and charger if it’s a weekday :) I will follow any instructions you provide. I’m familiar providing care to puppies as well as senior dogs. One of my current dogs now is 11 years old so I understand the need for important medications, etc.

“Corrine took great care of our two dogs. We really appreciated her sending us pictures of them twice a day. Our dogs enjoyed being with Corrinne's Doggie Day Care regulars for a week. They ran around so much that when they got home, they spent the rest of the day napping. Thank you Corrine!”
“Kali was a great choice, she took great care of our dog( who can be challenging at times) She was a pleasure to work with. We would highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter.”

“Christine was a great dog sitter for our two dogs Timon and Rafika. They got along well with her dog Piper and I could tell by the pictures they were comfortable and enjoyed their time playing, snuggling and sleeping in their normal comfortable spots. Thank you so much for taking care of our fur babies. Leslie and Rich”
“Pamela took such great care of our Dottie girl! Took her on walks, made sure she was comfortable at all times and sent texts with photos to check in. Dottie had a great time and we can’t thank Pamela enough!! 💗”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Carly took such great care of our dog and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She kept us updated with frequent messages and adorable photos, which really helped us relax knowing our pup was in good hands. Our dog looked so happy and well cared for the entire time. We’ll definitely be booking with her again — highly recommend!”
“Kat took amazing care of our Axel for the holiday weekend! She was super sweet, kind, accommodate us last minute, and actually cared to know his routine and what works for him. She kept me updated all throughout his stay! I felt safe knowing Axel was with her. 10/10, we’ll definitely be booking again!”

“Christine and her family took excellent care of our Sugar and Ella while we were away. She updated us frequently with texts and pictures.As a rescue dog, Sugar is normally very tentative and shy. Sugar came home a new girl. She is even greeting strangers without fear! Ella had an issue with her ears while we were away, and Christine quickly reached out to us to treat it.They both were happy and healthy when we returned.”
“Luz, and her family, are exceptional. I will be requesting her every time we need a sitter for my dog. She was attentive and affectionate. My dog Maggie is rarely without us because the few times we have left her with others she gets very depressed. For the first time ever Maggie was actually missing her sitter. She laid by the door when we got home waiting for , what we now call, her other family. She was made to feel at home. I highly recommend Luz to anyone who has a furry family member that they want to ensure is safe, secure, and happy.”
“Rachel was unbelievable while watching our dog Sammie. It was his first time really away from home and she immediately put all my worries to rest. She sent pictures and videos throughout the day during the entire stay, took Sammie to multiple parks, & even took him swimming for the first time. I could not have asked for a better dog-sitter, especially with our high energy pup. He came back a very exhausted but super happy doggo. 10/10 I would recommend to anyone looking for someone to watch their dog. Definitely will be using Rachel again!! Super nice as well!”
