About: I’ve always had dogs of all ages and breeds in the family. It is fulfilling giving dogs their best life possible. I understand a few walks can mean so much to your dog’s week and I promise to treat them as if they were a member of my family! I have a full time job that allows me to have mornings and early afternoons off. I would be willing to work abnormal hours and consider myself to have a very flexible schedule. I have a mini golden doodle and am constantly aware of the potential dangers to her. While caring for your dog I will keep an eye out for other potential dangers that could harm them.
“Marissa has been wonderful caring for our two cats Chonk and Chowder! She is very reliable and updates you on her visits. This is our third year with Marissa and we feel very confident when she visits and know that our kitties are well taken care of! Thank you so much Marissa:)”

About: I have taken care of many different breeds and sizes of dogs, puppies to old pups. They all receive the same loving care as my own. From drop-in short notice visits and walks, to staying with furry friends for weeks at a time, there is no job too small or large! My schedule is mostly open. Anytime, day or night, I am able to work around your schedule. Please, don’t hesitate to come to me with any request! I have been a volunteer firefighter for five years. I am very vigilant of dogs activities and conscious of owners rules and daily routines. I will be sure to work within the guidelines of the pet owner and to keep every animal happy and most importantly, safe.

“Alexandra was great with my pet! She helped with drop-in visits for 3 days and our pet was well-fed and happy when we came back from our trip. Definitely recommend!”

About: I love animals, grew up with two dogs, and now have a rescue cat. I also volunteer at the AWA Adoption Center. I am available for dog walking and drop-in visits for any kind of pet. I am self-employed, so my schedule is flexible. I’m self-employed so my schedule is flexible. I have a car and am willing to travel. I generally feed my own cat twice a day and play with her whenever I have time. For visits in my clients home I follow your feeding directions as to your pet’s feeding schedule, type of food, preferred toys and preferred play.
About: I've grown up with pets of all kinds and have loved them all. I enjoy taking dogs for walks and have volunteered at animal shelters to walk dogs. I am great with animals and have never not had a pet in my life. I take care of animals at home now, so I know that it can be a 24 hour job at times. I am flexible with my hours and have plenty of free time. If I am walking a dog I will bring a poop bag and water for them to drink, I will also walk them however far the owner is comfortable with. At home, I know that animals can get excited so I will remain calm and not scare/excite them too much.
About: I cared for my own first fur baby for 18 wonderful years, who sadly passed away last summer. Through that experience, I learned the importance of patience, consistency, and unconditional love. I’ve always had a deep love for animals and truly believe every pet deserves the best care, comfort, and companionship while their owners are away. I work a hybrid schedule and am home on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, making it easy to give pets frequent attention, walks, and care throughout the day. I’m also fully available on weekends, so I can be flexible and dedicate my time to your pet’s needs. I care for pets as if they were my own. I stick closely to their normal routines for feeding, walks, and rest, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether in my home or yours, I provide plenty of affection, playtime, and attentive care while keeping their environment clean and secure. I also communicate regularly with updates and photos for peace of mind.

About: I've always loved connecting with animals, whether it be volunteering at PetSmart cleaning cat cages, or writing profiles for dogs at a non-profit hospice and spending quality time with unadoptable senior dogs. My goal is to make sure your pet has the best day ever, and their safety is my top priority. I work two part-time jobs but am available all day on Sundays, after 12 PM on Tuesdays, and after 4 PM on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays! I aim to foster trust with both owners and pets alike! You can rest assured that there will be frequent potty breaks for your fur-babies, plenty of enriching playtime, and thorough communication on how your pet's day is going!
“Kendra is a pro! We needed help at the last minute to walk our dog; Kendra responded quickly and showed up to care for a new client like she's known him for years. So thankful and appreciative of her services. Highly recommend!!”

“Anthony is amazing, the care and love he showed for Persi was amazing. All the camera shots were fantastic to get every time he visited. Even brought in our packages! 10 out of 10!”


About: My fiancé and I both grew up in homes where caring for multiple dogs was the norm—he had anywhere from two to six at a time, and I was always surrounded by dogs as well. Together, we now have two of our own who are extremely well cared for, happy, and loved. With our lifelong experience and hands-on daily care, we’re very comfortable managing different personalities, routines, and needs. Any dog in our care will be treated like family and receive the same level of attention, structure, and love as our own. We both have flexible schedules, so one of us is always home. We go on daily walks in the morning and evening, and we never leave pets outside unattended. Our routines are adaptable, allowing us to accommodate the needs of any pet. We live right on a park, walks are a must for us and we accompany our pets outside on a long lead for simple day to day potty breaks.
About: As a skilled equestrian who handles 1200 lbs horses on a daily basis and has grown up with rambunctious german shepherds, I have developed great confidence in my ability to handle and care for animals of all kinds. I am not intimidated by breed/size or any behavioral quirks they may have! I am well-versed in administering treatments/medications for those with disabilities or medical conditions. I have personal experience of caring for senior and/or disabled dogs. My education at the University of Connecticut as an Animal Science major has heavily supplemented my knowledge of animal behavior, expanding my skillset to better understand my animal companions. I spend my free time using positive reinforcement to train my cats, dogs, an abundance of horses, and even a cow. If the owner is interested, I would be absolutely delighted to offer my training services as well! I am extremely adamant on animal welfare and I never fail to prioritize an animal’s needs. If you are interested, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I am always excited to make new furry friends!🐾💕 Since it is summer break, I will be in NJ between May 7 - August 20 and am available for scheduling majority of those days. Please reach out if you are interested in scheduling with me! Enrichment is an enormously important factor in the care of animals and it is unfortunate to see how often it gets overlooked. Mental and physical stimulation is crucial for the welfare of animals. Giving animals the opportunity to be curious and explore new things (toys, scents, places, etc.) adds a world of difference in their happiness. I would love to put the effort forth in providing whatever enrichment opportunities that work best for the animal and their owner. This can look like teaching tricks, car rides, runs, etc.
About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and other pets for the past year and genuinely love spending time with animals. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, play with, and check in on their pets while they’re away or at work. I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable with pets of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I currently am working 4 days a week and love to do this as a part time job! Any time I am not at work, I am available to your fur babies! I make sure pets stay comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. In clients’ homes, I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box or potty clean-up, medication if needed, and lots of attention and affection. I always keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pets are safe and happy!
“Justin did a great job taking care of my four little dogs, making sure they were safe and well cared for. He kept me updated throughout, which I really appreciated. I’d trust him with my pets again.”

Vernon dog parents share their Rover experiences
Carly was fantastic and was super communicative from the start as it was our first time using Rover. She provided great updates and always responded quickly to any questions we had. It’s always tough having someone new come in and take care of your dog, but Carly was amazing and dasher loved her right away. We can’t wait to use Carly again in the future.

Shielamae is AMAZING! Super easy to work with and willing to do what she can to help out. Her services are well priced and WORTH IT. Shielamae helped me with a last minute booking that saved my entire trip, I can’t recommend her enough. If you’re struggling to pick between a sitter, look no further!

Chuck was absolutely fantastic with our dog, Atlas! Atlas is a large breed with a very 'big' personality and can be a bit intimidating with his barking at first, but Chuck handled him with professional ease and a great 'dogs will be dogs' attitude. We really appreciated the detailed visit summaries and the photos he sent for every single drop-in—it gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Chuck is professional, reliable, and clearly great with animals. Atlas was so happy when we returned! We will definitely be booking Chuck again for our future trips and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.

I can’t recommend Lindsey highly enough! She is reliable, incredibly kind, and truly goes above and beyond for my Ruby girl. Every walk is handled with care, and it shows—our dog is happier, calmer, and absolutely adores her and her sidekick Paco!! Communication is always clear and prompt, and the photos and updates after each walk give me total peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy who will treat your dog like family, this is the person to call!

We booked Avery for a full week, multiple times a day, and are so glad that she was available to help with our dog Lacey. Avery is responsive, communicative, and did a fantastic job with our pup. She sent photos and/or videos each day and did a great job with our dogs medication. We will definitely look to book with her again the next time we need to be away. Thanks Avery!

Jenna helped watch our two dogs Murphy and Lulu while we were away for a week. We were so grateful they were in such good hands! They went on lots of walks and were well fed and had lots of playtime! Jenna gave us lots of updates and photos which our family loved since we missed them so much! When we got back we could see how happy and well cared for they both were! Jenna was caring and trustworthy and I know our pups would love to have her back!
