“Katie did great with Max, giving him the exercise he needed and building trust with him. We look forward to relying on her for walks for a long time!”

About: I have owned dogs most of my life, always showering them with the love and care they deserve. Now, I want to do the same for your pups! I am available most days during the day, weekends included. My schedule is extremely flexible, so I should almost always be able to accommodate your requests. I have a fenced-in yard and a friendly dog, so your dog will be housed safely, and will have a four-legged friend to play with. I take my dog on frequent walks and would be excited to take yours along with us.

About: Prior to moving towns I used to pet sit for all of my neighbors. Pets large and small, it didn’t matter but it was always fun. I’m starting my MBA next fall so anything earned on here will go towards that goal of mine! I’ve owned pets for over 12 years and have been taking care of others for 6 so almost all throughout high school and undergrad. I can walk multiple dogs at once, great with elderly animals, experienced with puppies, able to administer pet medication, etc. If you have questions reach out! Currently I am taking two online summer courses for my MBA with Sacred Heart University. I go to the gym 4 times a week and work drop in bartending shifts sometimes on weekends. Since I make my own schedule pet care fits very well into it because I can tailor mine to fit the animals needs! I don’t offer in home care at the moment because my sister recently got hip surgery so I’m waiting until she’s more comfortable to have other peoples pets at home. Otherwise I have two sweet dogs who have coexisted well with pets that I’ve taken care of in the past as well as cats they stay in their own room.

“Melissa was great with my dog, Blaze! She not only provided Blaze with much needed exercise on her daily walks, but she almost always stuck around to give a little tender love and care to our pooch. She also brought in our mail, which was an unexpected perk. I highly recommend Melissa. She is a reliable and loving caretaker of dogs.”

“As pet parents, our greatest concern is the safety and joy of our animals. When my pup Frank and I started working with Joannie, I knew I wouldn't have to worry about either while Frank was in her care. She has proven to be professional, caring, and patient when it comes to her time with Frank, especially considering he is in his puppy phase. She always provides great feedback and equally fantastic pictures from their walks together. I look forward to having her look after Frank more! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for help with their fur family!”

“Lisbeth has been a wonderful addition to our family of pet caretakers! She is always on time and polite, and Ravioli always has a good walk- looking forward to having Lisbeth help us for a long time!”

About: I've been a pet owner my whole life. There was always a dog in my home when I was a child. Later on, in my own home had raised two dogs and a cat from their earliest days. My sweet Golden Retriever, Milo, was with me and my kids since he was 10 weeks old. He was amazing! Sadly after a year of being sick and fighting a good fight, it became too much for him. My kids & I said goodbye to him with many tears and such a heaviness in our hearts. It has been sad not seeing his happy face when I come home or unusual to not have to take him out for his nighttime walk. We miss him so much! I would love to be able to share my love that I had for him with the caring of another dog. I'm home during the day which allows me to have the time to devote to your dogs.i also have two teenage kids who are able to walk and play with him. I live on a quiet dead end street with hardly any cars coming through. I have a nice sized yard which is great for playing and taking in the suns rays(my dog would love to just roll his body over in the grass...lol). So I would being taking care of your precious baby boy/girl as if he/she was my own! I also will only take care of one dog at a time... so YOUR dog will have ALL my attention! I am a very easy going down to earth person.... I'd love to chat with you about your needs and concerns for your dog. Please let me know what I can do to help you ... Talk to you soon! Kathy

“Alexa is amazing with my dog Houdini. He loves his walks with her. She offers genuine care, keeps him safe and is extremely reliable. I’m grateful for the peace of mind she offers when I’m traveling.”

About: If you're looking for a dog-lover and loyal caretaker, I'm here for you and your pet! I'm happy to provide a loving space for your pet while you travel, or walks when needed. I work from home mostly--I am in the office two days a week (every Tuesday and Wednesday.) All other days I am flexible with my schedule. Pets are welcome on my furniture--while they are here, they are free to make themselves comfortable! Playtime, walks and car rides (if they like them) are encouraged.

About: I have watched my neighbors dog (Havenese) for 1 month over the summer for the past 4 years. I have also watched my cousins dog (lab mix) for a few weeks. I sometimes walk dogs around my neighborhood. I currently work part time (every Wednesday + random as needed). The rest of my schedule is mostly free. I’m an out of state college student so I will only be here for the summer. I use the toys that the dog has to play what the dog wants to, example: tug of war or fetch. I make sure the water bowl is always filled. If it is the dogs dinner time, I will make sure to feed them.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats along with owning both myself for the majority of my life. I have done various types of volunteer work with animal shelters through Girl Scouts when I was younger and on my own time throughout the past few years. I have house sat dogs and cats for family and friends, ranging from kittens to a great dane! I am currently a student at Rowan university, my classes are pretty light this semester. Mondays & Wednesdays are busy from 2pm-6pm Tuesdays I am in class 5pm-6pm and Thursday is 930 am-12pm and 5pm-6pm. Free all other days and working around my schedule isn’t an issue for me at all! I am not able to care for pets in my home, due to still living on campus I wouldn’t be allowed to have any pets stay with me. :(

About: I grew up with both dogs and cats, and caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs belonging to friends, family members, and clients—including dogs with anxiety, especially while their owners are traveling. Many of these dogs had previously stayed in large commercial boarding facilities where multiple dogs share the same space, which often increased their stress and anxiety. I’ve seen firsthand how much of a difference a calm home environment and personalized one-on-one attention can make. I am also certified in American Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid, so I’m prepared to respond in case of an emergency and provide attentive care for your pets. I focus on patience, consistency, and gentle, loving care to help each dog feel safe, comfortable, and secure. With dedicated attention and companionship, I’ve watched anxious dogs gradually become more relaxed and confident—sometimes they even seem reluctant to leave! :) I’m home full-time to care for your pup. This means your dog will receive plenty of attention, regular walks, and consistent, loving care throughout the day. I have the time and flexibility to focus on your dog’s individual needs, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for during their stay. I keep my schedule flexible, but I only care for one dog at a time to provide the best possible experience. Because of this, spots can fill quickly—especially during holidays—so please plan and book in advance. Located in a quiet, friendly neighborhood, my home is designed to provide comfort, security, and plenty of room for your dog to relax and play. Your pup will enjoy a park-like backyard—nearly half an acre—fully fenced for safe exploration and outdoor fun. Whether they love to run, sniff, or simply lounge in the sun, there’s plenty of space to feel at home. In the summer, I also set up a dog-friendly swimming pool so they can cool off and have some extra fun. I share my home with a very friendly 9-year-old Black Lab who is gentle, well-socialized, and enjoys calm companionship with other dogs. To ensure every dog gets the attention, care, and comfort they deserve, I typically host only one dog at a time (with a maximum of two during holidays). This allows me to focus on your dog’s individual needs and create a low-stress, personalized experience. Your dog will be treated like family here—safe, happy, and well cared for every step of the way.

“Samuel was absolutely AMAZING with our mini golden doodle, Tali. He came for an hour long walk exactly as planned and Tali was one happy girl!! Highly recommend Samuel if you need someone to sit for or walk your fur baby :)”

“Janette was so sweet! I felt bad because my husband left on a trip and it was such a last minute request. She still was able to fit Finn in and provided pictures and a great report card. Finn was so happy! :) thank you again Janette!!”

“Both Kelce and I loved Leigh. She showed Kelce so much love when we met for the first time and Kelce loved her back! I will definitely recommend and will continue to work with her.”

“Eilleen was great with our cockapoo Wesley - he seemed very excited to see her for his check-ins! She was also super helpful and understanding when it came to scheduling around my new job, which we’ve really appreciated.”

About: Hi! I offer attentive, in-home dog care in a calm, structured, and loving environment. I’m getting back into boarding and am focused on creating a really positive experience for both the dogs I care for and my son, who loves being involved in a gentle and responsible way. Because of that, I’m best suited for dogs who are friendly, well-mannered, and comfortable in a home setting. We do best with dogs who: – are good with children – walk nicely on leash – are relatively easygoing and non-reactive – enjoy a calm, home environment I always prioritize safety, consistency, and making sure each dog feels comfortable and well cared for while they’re with us. If that sounds like a fit, I’d love to connect. For everyone’s safety and comfort, I may not be the best fit for dogs with strong leash reactivity, high prey drive, or those requiring advanced behavioral handling. I like to do a quick meet & greet to make sure it’s a great fit for everyone before confirming a booking . I work from my home M & F I am best for those days or weekend care. I only watch one dog at a time. I have a cozy home and a nice neighborhood to walk the dog. I have a 11 year old boy who loves dogs and takes pride in caring for them. I will follow your directions to keep consistent with your house rules.

About: As a lifelong animal lover, pet sitting is something I truly enjoy because it gives me the opportunity to build lasting relationships with both pets and their families. I’m the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends, and nothing makes me happier than earning their trust and becoming a familiar face their pets are excited to see. Whether it’s dogs, cats, birds, or any other furry (or feathered!) family member, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have two pets who are my whole world, so I understand how important it is to leave them with someone who is dependable, caring, and attentive. I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their families are away. From belly rubs and playtime to cuddles and keeping routines consistent, I’m here to make tails wag, whiskers twitch, and pet parents feel completely at ease. After all, I believe a house isn’t truly a home without a pet! A teacher on summer break who loves animals! Available all day Monday-Friday for daily walks, check-ins and just a friendly face to keep your pets company while you’re away! Safety is my top priority! We will discuss safety measures and YOUR routine to ensure safety and security always! Secured, safe, and a fun time is a MUST!

“Lindsey did an amazing job with Max. She took her time to learn his personality, his walking preferences, and made sure he got good exercise. Max enjoyed his walks and loves Lindsey already.”

About: Note: We are currently training our new dog so best services to book are drop-in visits, walks, or sitting at your home. However, some exceptions may be possible for care at our home, feel free to message me to explore, thank you! 👋 Spoil your well-behaved pup in a lap of luxury with a HUGE 1-acre fenced yard that they can roam free in anytime they’d like. Conveniently located just off Route 17, we are a mature, responsible, and drama-free dog auntie and uncle who are both home full time — me as the primary caretaker, and my partner as a backup (if you’d like). It helps make coverage more reliable, and play time feel a lot more like family time for your pup (except no kids). We are not the types to be addicted to our phones because we believe in being present when spending time with fur friends. We also typically don’t take in too many so that we can provide more attention, and be available when you need us. It’s quality over quantity for us! :) Before requesting a stay, please read my “About” section to see if we are a good fit for each other! Ps. I don’t charge if you are late to pickup by a few hours, so don’t worry about that. New Rover Customers: Use my referral link to get $20 off your first service https://www.rover.com/sit/melindac23 I do sometimes get requests to watch pups in NYC but my spouse and I are both currently home in NJ full-time. I believe in mutual respect, gentle care, and transparency, and would treat your pup the same way I would want mine to be cared for. My friends’ furbabies affectionately call me “auntie” :) I understand how being away from your loved one can cause stress or anxiety (unfortunately, we had a bad experience with a sitter once, so I personally relate to this feeling all too well). I can provide multiple updates a day (or less) if you’d like — photos, videos, and even video calls — whatever will help you feel comforted that they are safe and well cared for. We have a unique property, a huge, park-like fully-fenced yard on a cul-de-sac street (but the fence is only 4 ft high, please confirm that your dog cannot jump it). I have a medium size crate if your pups like them. Multiple dog beds throughout the house and no more than 5 stairs anywhere. I’m equipped to take in two dogs at a time, but I don’t have to if you prefer your pup to have a solo stay.
