“So accommodating and friendly. This was our first time boarding, and pretty instantly we knew our pup was in good hands! The pictures were so appreciated, and we’re incredibly grateful for the care our dog was given.”
“Hannelie took excellent care of jax and took him for walks everyday and sent updates of how he was doing. Would definitely recommend as a matter of fact she is taking care of jax again.”
“Michael and Tracy were wonderful, fun & patient pup sitters! We have 1 happy-go-lucky dog & 1 nervous-Nelly, and they cared for both very well! They communicated with us every day and sent lots of pictures. Best of all, we knew our pups were being treated like family while we were away. Thanks Michael & Tracy!”
“This is the second time my little Ellie has stayed with Grace and I swear Ellie lives her best life there!! Grace keeps me updated in how she is doing with pics and texts!! I will definitely being booking with Grace in the future!!”
“First time I've had anyone outside of family or close friends take care of my dog, Baby. I'm so happy to say that Debra & Vic took her in as family and cared for her and loved her like she was their own dog!! Highly recommend :).”
“Monica was amazing! She was so flexible with us and our two cats. She housed them for a night and then when we couldn't have them at our hotel took them back in for 4 days without question. They returned to us happy and healthy! She has a great space and sent us pictures of our boys where they would settle for the evening. Monica was also very responsive immediately if we had questions and with pick up drop off times. Definitely recommend!”
“I'm so glad I found Jake and Mischa! My dog came back after a 5-day stay exhausted and happy. She was well taken care of and I didn't have to worry at all, so communicative and genuinely care”
“I cannot say enough positive things about Abner. He was very communicative from the start and helped ease my anxiety about leaving my dogs with a stranger. Throughout my trip away, he sent photos and updates on both of my babies. My dogs came home happy and I could tell that they were on their own mini vacation over the weekend. Abner was a delight, and I hope to have him take care of my babies again in the future.”
“Kim was very quick to respond to me whenever I wanted to check in and see how Ryder was doing. She was very friendly and welcoming. She sent me pictures and made me feel comfortable that my baby was in good hands. I would highly recommend her. This was my first time using a dog sitter and I am very pleased with the entire experience. Thank you again Kim for everything. I would use her again if I need a sitter.”
“Leila was absolutely fantastic with our girl. We got fun updates and felt like she didn’t miss an ounce of love without us. Would not hesitate to book again! Thank you, Leila! ❤️”
“Alexis took great care of our dogs and provided regular updates. She was thoughtful, accommodating, and considerate with all of our plans. Would absolutely recommend her and would definitely book with her again!”
“Gabriela took such amazing care of our dog this weekend. She kept us up to date with plenty of pictures and updates the entire time she had Hope. Can’t wait till out next visit to her and her amazing family. Highly recommended sitter. Would absolutely rebook the next time we need someone to take care of Hope. Wonderful sitter and took simply the best care of our dog while we were away.”
“We recently had the pleasure of having Nicolas care for our beloved dog, Mazzie, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From start to finish, it was clear that our pup was in great hands. Mazzie went on long walks, had incredible play time with their dog Sinatra, and we received tons of wonderful pictures, making our time away. It was evident that they were genuinely passionate about animals, and Mazzie was instantly comfortable, which gave us such peace of mind. Overall, we couldn’t recommend this pet sitter highly enough. They treated Mazzie as if she were their own, and we will definitely be using them again in the future. If you’re looking for reliable, compassionate, and attentive care for your furry family member, look no further!”

“Madelyn was wonderful and took great care of my fur baby even when my driveway was covered in snow and also helped us out over Christmas! Our cat is a needy boy and usually complains a lot when we leave but he didn’t seem to mind this time. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I grew up in a cat-loving home and have years of experience caring for cats of all personalities, from playful kittens to more independent and senior cats. I understand their routines, behaviors, and unique needs, including feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, playtime, and providing a calm, safe environment. I’m comfortable giving cats space when they need it while also offering attention, affection, and enrichment when they’re social. My goal is always to keep them comfortable, stress-free, and cared for just like they are at home.
About: I've taken care of dogs for my friends and family for over 10 years. My sister, my bosses and different friends all trust me for a few reasons. First, I love animals and have a good rapport with them. Second, I am clean and keep my word when I agree to show up at a certain time. People recognize this and trust me to show up. Lastly, I am a calm person who brings a tranquil energy. Each animal has their own personality which I respect and learn to work with, and some have more challenging behaviors then others. Some are not good with other dogs or cats, some aren't good with kids, some are timid and need a lot of warming up to and some are pretty much good with everyone. I have worked with animals who have their own quirks and special needs (like medicines at meal times). I have been a traveler for many years, so house sitting/pet sitting for friends around the country has become a part of my life. These days I run a business that has been picking up, so I am not always available, but I keep my calendar open incase I can work it out to spend time with some animals. I currently work several jobs and try to fit Rover requests in when I get them. My girlfriend suggested Rover because she's noticed when I pet sit for people, I really love being around the animals. We can't have animals where we rent so this is a fun and rewarding job. I can be strict or loose with animals depending on what the owners perfer. I've worked with pets who owners never really train the animals, they just love them to bits. I've also worked with pets who have a more strict approach. I enjoy working with all situations! In the past I lived in my friends house while they were away; they left me a lot of notes on how to care for, feed, walk, give medicine to their 4 animals and watering dozens of house plants. It was a great time. Since joining Rover I've met some great animals, and even though I have a busy work life, I keep my profile open because I really enjoy animals and hope to meet more through here when I can.
About: I love taking care of animals. Animal energy is something I love having in my life. I have had dogs and cats since I was born. Now I have my very own Border Collie named Iris who I love with all my heart. I was always interested in animal care bathing walking cooking my own dog special food. I recently made the decision to leave my place of employment after 25 years. So now I can commit to animal care as much or as little as I can. I don't have a routine yet but hopefully I will establish one soon. I have done numerous overnights with up to 4 dogs. I ask the owners for a printed copy of each dogs habits, routine and exercise preferences. Also if the dog has any leash or food aggression.
“Olivia was great! We contacted her last minute to stop in to check on our 1 year old golden doodle while we were at a Penn State football game. She visited 3 times when we were gone and did a great job. She sent pictures from each of her visits.”
About: I have been house sitting since I was 14 years old. From homes with 2 large puppies to homes with 4 dogs and 7 cats ranging in ages. I love animals and spend a lot of time working with animals with my sister who is Veterinarian. I am a full time nursing student with a full time job. I am completely available for your pet sitting needs from Friday through Monday. Your pets will have my complete attention when in my care.

About: I have taken care of close friends and families pets for years and I have decided to expand and see if anyone else needs care for their animals! I have plenty of experience working with animals. I started out as a farm aid at Turtleback zoo a couple years ago and left to go work with marine mammals in Florida. When I came back to NJ I went to Cape May and worked as a full time seasonal animal keeper. After my 6 months were up I went back to Turtleback zoo as a Relief Keeper. I left the zoo field December 2021 and started working part time at a local vet clinic where I work with all size dogs and cats. I know how to give medications also if your dog or cat have any special needs! I currently work full time, first shift for a laboratory. I also work part time at a vets office but when I am dog sitting I do not just do that your pets have more of my attention and are my priority. If I were to stay at your house I can walk your dog around your neighborhood or take them on local hiking trails! Whatever works best! I am here to care for your animals just as I would my own. My dogs Cooper and Ginger are very spoiled and I can guarantee yours will be also! Depending on the needs of your pet will be the deciding factor of our daily routine. We can talk about that more in details if you decide to message me! I have two mini dachshunds that are friendly and love to walk/hike! If your dog is friendly and adventurous I would bring them along for the fun!
“Kim was a great sitter for my special needs cat. She gave him the care and attention he needed and made sure I was updated on whether he’d gone to the bathroom. I also appreciate her willingness to care for him over the holidays - it was a huge help since we could not be home with him!”
About: I will give your dog(s) my undivided attention. They will be fed and taken for walks. I will engage with them throughout the day, as I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I will care for them just like they were my own pet. Being a dog owner myself, I understand how much they mean to their families. In case of an emergency at home or work, I will provide the necessary care for your dogs. I have a unique bond with every dog I meet and truly enjoy their company, ensuring they receive plenty of affection. In the past, I have cared for my family's dogs, feeding and walking them nearly every day. I am knowledgeable about how to handle dogs safely. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to dog-sit and walk the dogs entrusted to my care. Pet caring is one of my passion because they bring so much joy to our lives. With this being said after work I do appreciate the love my fur babies give me. I love to play and run with fur babies and I also get my weekly exercise in! I have a yard that they can run freely in. They will have access to my balcony for when they need cooling and some quiet.
About: I am currently in training to become a certified dog trainer. I am able to offer basic and puppy training at this time. I have around 18 years of pet care experience. I have cared for dogs and cats in the past, including elderly and ill pets. I can administer any necessary medications, both oral and injectable. I have also worked for a prominent doggy day care that has locations across the country. I have an acre of fenced in yard for the dogs to run around and get out all of their energy, so you can rest assured they'll be having the time of their life here! I work from home, so I am available whenever you need. I love to spend time with dogs and can be there when you can't!
“Tammie was an absolute lifesaver while I was on vacation! She came three times a day to care for my cat, including administering oral medication, which can be a challenge—but she handled it with total professionalism and care. She was always on time, incredibly communicative, and sent regular updates that really helped me relax while I was away. When our flight was unexpectedly delayed, she didn’t hesitate to make additional last-minute visits to make sure my cat was safe and comfortable. Her flexibility and dedication truly went above and beyond. It’s such a relief to know my pet is in such capable and compassionate hands. I will 100% be booking with Tammie again and can’t recommend her highly enough!”

About: I'm a natural empath and caretaker with extensive experience in animal care. Growing up, my family always had multiple dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, chickens, and more! My entire life I've always been around animals and taking care of them - I'm frequently called an animal whisperer. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets since a young age. When I was a senior in High School, I shadowed my neighborhood vet. I've worked professionally for a dog walking company, at a doggy-daycare, with a dog physical therapist, as an animal caretaker at an animal sanctuary, and I've lived on a ranch in Mexico where I cared for animals. I'm committed to providing the highest level of care for your beloved companions! I am very experienced with animals, whether it be sitting, walking, caretaking, puppies, senior care, administering medication, etc. I had two 18-year-old kitties who both passed recently, so I’m very adept with cat care too! My time is extremely flexible and my personal schedule can be made around your pet's needs. I’m currently in a place of transition after a long spiritual awakening, tons of self-healing, and recent grieving after losses in my family. I am responsible, reliable, and have great attention to detail. If I'm left with specific guidelines for how to care for your pet in your home they will be met. If not, I can guarantee your pet will still be in great hands! I'm an extremely intuitive caretaker and my experience with animals will ensure all your loved one's needs are fully met.

I have previously worked at a dog boarding facility for two years, where I handled daily care, feeding, cleaning, and exercise. I have have also grown up on a horse farm that has a wide variety of animals.

I am patient, reliable, and passionate about making animals feel safe, cared for, and comfortable. I currently work remotely, Monday to Friday, from the comfort of my own home. I am currently working from home during the week so I have plenty of time for outside play and walks as well as constant supervision While my yard is not fenced in, I provide long walks around the lake and possibly even swimming for those warm days and water loving dogs.
About: Hi! I’m an experienced pet sitter and dog walker based out of Newton, NJ. Animals are my life! I’ve been working full time in petcare for close to four years, and as a caretaker for many years. Before going into dogcare full time, I was most recently working as a nursing home aid, and CHHA. Before that, I worked with farm animals at the Turtle Back Zoo, and volunteered with the cat adoption agency, ‘Kitty Kind.’ I’ve had and taken care of my dogs, as well as others, ever since I was a little girl. I missed working with our four-legged friends, and I’m very happy to have returned to this fuzzier kind of work. Right now at home, I’ve got two Malamute Labrador mixes. Needless to say, I do have experience handling big dogs, though I love the little ones, too! I am available for overnights, in most cases, so long as I’m not on schedule for another client. My main duty right now is taking care of my animals at home, so I’m also happy to take on whatever odd shifts people may need help with. How I would care for a client’s fuzzy friend would be an entirely personalized experience. I want to know how YOU want them taken care of, and what you are comfortable with and looking for. Then, I will enthusiastically and reliably fill that role, whilst ensuring a safe and protective experience for your pet.

I’m a stay at home mom so i have all the time to take care of your pups. I have 3 friendly pups to keep your pups company at all times. They can play in the back yard as well with me supervising.
“We’re so grateful to have found Connie. She stayed with our senior dog while we went hiking in the area, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Connie kept us updated throughout the day, even sent us pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog had some anxiety, but Connie was so kind and attentive, keeping her calm and distracted with lots of love. Her home is absolutely beautiful, an oasis of peace and nature. It was clear our dog felt safe and cared for there. Thank you, Connie, for treating her like family.”
“They were warm and welcoming from the beginning. Emma seemed comfortable wandering around their home and being with them. They saved me just by being available on Thanksgiving! I would definitely use them again!!”

“I had never left my dogs in the care of someone else, and took a chance on Kelly because I liked her when we met. I was gone for an entire week so I was so apprehensive. She exceeded all my expectations! She was kind and sent me messages about my dogs and cats to keep me in the loop about their week. I loved the pictures of them every day, and seeing how much time she spent with them. She is very loving and so thoughtful. Do not hesitate to hire her to care for your fur children. She treats them like her own family.”

We can talk about that more in details if you decide to message me! I have two mini dachshunds that are friendly and love to walk/hike! If your dog is friendly and adventurous I would bring them along for the fun!
About: I will give your dog(s) my undivided attention. They will be fed and taken for walks. I will engage with them throughout the day, as I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I will care for them just like they were my own pet. Being a dog owner myself, I understand how much they mean to their families. In case of an emergency at home or work, I will provide the necessary care for your dogs. I have a unique bond with every dog I meet and truly enjoy their company, ensuring they receive plenty of affection. In the past, I have cared for my family's dogs, feeding and walking them nearly every day. I am knowledgeable about how to handle dogs safely. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to dog-sit and walk the dogs entrusted to my care. Pet caring is one of my passion because they bring so much joy to our lives. With this being said after work I do appreciate the love my fur babies give me. I love to play and run with fur babies and I also get my weekly exercise in! I have a yard that they can run freely in. They will have access to my balcony for when they need cooling and some quiet.
About: I’ve grown up with pets, both dogs and cats, my entire life. I house sit for family members with pets and take it upon myself to love and care for them like they are my own. I love to take them on adventures in the car, to walking trails or lakes to engage with them! I currently work a full time job Monday through Friday in office with one day to work from home. I can provide evening and night care, as well as weekends! I can be flexible as well to stop in at nights or early mornings for your pet needs. I am willing and able to house sit and adjust myself for your pet’s schedule and comfort. I have one dog and one cat in my home who are cared for around the clock. I love taking my dog for visits to different state parks or hiking trails!
About: I've loved them all. From guinea pigs to rabbits, hamsters and ferrets, parrots and fish, cats and dogs. I have experience with dogs of many breeds, from German shepherds to Chihuahuas, newfoundlands and jack russells. I try and understand every dog breed to understand their unique needs. No dog is the same! But they all love unconditionally, so I try and give them the same. I have some training in puppies and have experience with puppies as well as elders. I've house sat in the pets homes where I know they are comfortable and can have their routines and environments. I just want to give each pet whatever it is they need. I have had pets since I was born, my first dog being a boxer. Almost never without a dog, but certainly never without a pet. Currently I have a german shepherd/collie mix named Blue. Even at six years old, he has the energy of a puppy! We run every day in a field nearby, sometimes visit the dog park, and have frequent visits with his dog friends. Making sure he is happy and healthy is a daily priority in my life. In the clients home, I get in depth information on their pets routines, food schedules and preparations, walking and play time, and whether they are crated or not. I will follow your instructions to a T.
About: I'm a natural empath and caretaker with extensive experience in animal care. Growing up, my family always had multiple dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, chickens, and more! My entire life I've always been around animals and taking care of them - I'm frequently called an animal whisperer. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets since a young age. When I was a senior in High School, I shadowed my neighborhood vet. I've worked professionally for a dog walking company, at a doggy-daycare, with a dog physical therapist, as an animal caretaker at an animal sanctuary, and I've lived on a ranch in Mexico where I cared for animals. I'm committed to providing the highest level of care for your beloved companions! I am very experienced with animals, whether it be sitting, walking, caretaking, puppies, senior care, administering medication, etc. I had two 18-year-old kitties who both passed recently, so I’m very adept with cat care too! My time is extremely flexible and my personal schedule can be made around your pet's needs. I’m currently in a place of transition after a long spiritual awakening, tons of self-healing, and recent grieving after losses in my family. I am responsible, reliable, and have great attention to detail. If I'm left with specific guidelines for how to care for your pet in your home they will be met. If not, I can guarantee your pet will still be in great hands! I'm an extremely intuitive caretaker and my experience with animals will ensure all your loved one's needs are fully met.
About: I have taken care of dogs since 2019. I watched neighbors dogs while they would go to work or vacation. I have experience with puppies since 2019 also. I work part time. So I have plenty of time to take walks and potty breaks. I usually walk my dog every 2 -4 hours. So I can maintain that schedule. I have reliable transportation and can transport any dogs/ cats for walks in parks etc. I am always available during the week and like keeping busy.

Abner was a delight, and I hope to have him take care of my babies again in the future.”
