“Helaina was great! She responded quickly and helped accommodate me last minute. The dogs instantly loved her. Will definitely be using her again:)”


“Grayson was excellent with our dog Preston! She was punctual, professional and communicative while she hung out with him and gave him multiple walks. We’re thrilled to have someone reliable near us to be able to hang with him and that we know he’s in very good hands!”


“Lauren was excellent!!! I will definitely request her in the future. My dogs loved her immediately. She was the Best dog care provider that I ever had. I would highly recommend her to my friends and family. We just loved her.”


“I just want to commend Savana for coming today to walk my puppies on February 6, 2025, even though there was ice and snow throughout the day. I assured Savana the night before not to worry about coming because of the bad weather but because of her care and professionalism, she made it to my home. I cannot say enough, how happy I am with having Savana As my Dog Walker. She is wonderful!!!!”


“Julia was terrific! She showed up for a last minute request. She was friendly, prompt and flexible. My dog was very comfortable with her at the outset. I was so impressed that since she needed to address something at home she offered to take my dog with her rather than give me less than the full hour walk.”


About: I have a bachelor's degree in animal science. I am comfortable with animals big or small. I am also a dog trainer. I have been working with animals my whole life and have many references. I am at stay at home mom so I have a flexible schedule. I have two children one is school age and one is 3 and he goes to day care twice a week. I do not have a fenced in yard. I have a large livestock guardian dog on our property. Play dates would have to be planned ahead of time

“Very nice couple. We met ahead of time in a meet n greet. I explained my dogs issues. The two of them were very understanding and patient. I would definitely recommend them.”

“Best dog walker’s money can buy. Very caring couple.”


“Sarah was amazing! She was on time and very friendly. Both dogs took to her very quickly and one of them usually takes a while to warm up to people. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog walker.”


About: Thanks for Stopping By! My experience around Pets; I am fortunate and blessed to have experienced having Pets since I was a baby. Growing up, animals were always around: dogs, cats, birds, etc. My love for animals has always been powerful, thanks to my amazing parents, who raised me in such an environment. After I lost my parents, my life changed forever, completely. I moved from state to state (in Colombia) with different family members; lucky for me, they all had pets. I was a timid girl who always struggled to connect with humans. However, that was never the case with animals. I simply loved and enjoyed spending time with them. Before I moved to the U.S. in 2019, I lived with my aunt, uncle, cousins, and many dogs who were always running around in our country house. I learned a lot from Uncle Carlos; he's the ultimate certified dog lover. I moved in with them in 2013, and a new experience with dogs took over my life. My uncle cares for dogs in the most admirable way I've ever seen; he would always provide them with the love, time, the best food, and stimulation they needed at all different times of the day, even if he had a long day at work. I learned a lot from him. Even though my aunt never liked dogs or him having dogs, he would always find a way to adopt one more; I still don't know how he managed to have six dogs in the house currently haha (he is also retired now, and the youth have all moved out so I guess time is right ;) I can't thank him enough for being an incredible example and inspiration to me on how to care and love animals. Two years after moving to a new country at 17 all by myself to start a brand new chapter of my life, in 2021, I was finally able to move to an apartment in New Jersey with a friend after two years of jumping from room to room in NYC with strangers. I was so happy and relieved to have my own space, kitchen, and bathroom in this apartment; despite that, I noticed days getting lonely and gray. New Jersey was a different lifestyle; I couldn't just go out to a park and distract myself with the craziness of the city; my life was changing, I was changing, and I thought at the time I was ready for another significant change, having a dog in my life, so I got Gumby. My best friend! Gumby helped me tremendously; he changed my life without realizing it. My first time having Gumby was almost like having a real child while being a single mother working two jobs and trying to get a career for herself, haha. Yeah, that was me. The responsibility I was taking on was bigger than I'd anticipated, but nonetheless, I had one of the best times in my life. I’ve also learned a big lesson. Like most corgis, Gumby is a very energetic dog. They require a lot of time, attention, and love. Unfortunately, at that time in my life, I only had the third to give to him. I got Gumby when he was eight weeks old; he was so precious and tiny. I remember taking off work that day to receive him from the Amish family I was purchasing Gumby from; they were driving over from Pennsylvania to drop him off at my apartment. I couldn't believe it when they handed me Gumby in my arms; I was a Dog Mom!! I was so happy until the next day and the following days after that. Every day I had to leave Gumby in the apartment alone and go to work; pieces of my heart would stay behind that door with him, wishing it didn’t have to be that way. Every day, I was anxious at work, impatiently waiting to clock out to get home to him. When I’d come home, I would hug him and cry, frustrated knowing I wasn’t giving him the life he deserved, like the life of my uncle’s dogs at home. Not long after that, when Gumby was almost four months old, I quit my job for three months to take care of him; of course, It wasn’t the wisest financial decision; I ended up spending all my savings, but it was one of the best times of my life, and I think Gumby’s life. A day in our lives would consist of waking up, going for a walk, returning to the apartment for our breakfast, then getting ready to go on a long nature walk, some days long hikes in the mountain, and some other lots of fetching at the dog park, some more walking, sniffing, and treats in the evening, come back home for our dinner, one more walk, snuggle watch movies, get rest, repeat next day. I cared for Gumby for a year and a half (July 2021-Dec 2022); I flew to Colombia with Gumby in December 2022. I was coming to visit my family and drop Gumby off at his new home, ready to take on a new chapter of his life, in the country house, next to his new 6 other fur siblings, under the care of my loving uncle, to live the life I couldn't give to him. Of course I was very sad gumby wasn't going to be with me in Jersey anymore, my life felt almost empty again but I knew this was the right thing to do for Gumby. I visited Gumby in February of this year. I was so emotional and happy to see him, I’d like to think he was to see me as well. There is no doubt when I say he is truly living his best life and is one of the happiest dogs alive, that’s all he always deserved. After Gumby stayed in Colombia I decided to start walking dogs on Rover as a part time job, I missed having dogs around in my life. They help me be a better and happier person… I empathize a lot with dog parents that don’t have the time/energy to dedicate to their pets all the time or when life simply gets in the way; that’s why I would love to help you and your pet with that, and you will be helping me be happier as well :) a win-win😎 I'm currently working part-time in retail at the mall; my schedule varies everyday. I'll list the days & times of the week I'll be available for rover; Mon: 7-9am / 5-9pm Tues: 8am-12pm Wed: Not Available Thursday: 8-11am / 2-7pm Friday: 8-11am Saturday: Not Available Sunday: 8-11am / 2-5pm I don't offer sitting services in my place just yet since it's not my house, hopefully in the near future when I move out I would love to start this service :)

“Very reliable and communicative. Follows all instructions. Very friendly great with our dog !”


About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since I was a teen. I would volunteer to care for pets all the time. I have taken care of all kinds of pets such as dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, salamander bearded dragon and chickens. Tell me what their needs are and I will make sure fur baby is well taken care of. It’s my responsibility to make sure that each fur baby is happy and safe. I know how important dogs are to our lives, so it's my duty to make sure that your fur baby gets to experience the same kind of love and care that they're used to at home. When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It's a great way to make sure that we're all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. It gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your fur baby and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it's always great to chat with owners to learn more about your fur baby. I am available to care for your fur baby all day as my main focus is caring for fur babies! I work from my home part-time so I’m always available to provide love and attention to your fur baby. I have a large fenced in yard with plenty of room to play and 1 dog to keep your fur baby company. If needed, I have the ability to crate your fur baby.

“Julia arrived on time and my boy Miles loved the walk! Definitely will be using Julia for more walks!”


“Meghan was great and very attentive to our dogs. She followed up with details after every walk and even brought some of our packages inside for us. Excited to book her again in the future.”

“Allison was sooo great and timely during with her visit to walk Leo!”


About: With seven cats and two dogs in my childhood home who all lived long, happy lives, I have extensive pet care experience. I’ve dog-sat overnight, walked dogs for friends, and cared for my employer’s pets during her vacations. Your pets’ comfort and safety are always my main concern. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play and care for your family! I am available Friday, Saturday and Sunday all day for pet sitting and/or dog walking. I am available Tuesdays and Thursdays after 12 in the afternoon during the week. When caring for your fur family at your home I will ensure that your fur baby feels most comfortable while you are away. I think playtime outside time and rest time are all crucial to having a happy and healthy pet! I’ve cared for senior pets before so I have experience with specific needs for specific pets. I will ensure that your pet gets the quality care that they deserve.

About: I’ve had pets all my life including 3 dogs and a cat. I also have several years of experience working in dog boarding which required me to work with a large range of dogs whether old, young, big, or small. So I am capable of handling pretty much anything I am currently going to school part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pets most days of the week. And am willing to work any time of day I can easily accommodate your pets needs whether that be walks, play time, crating when needed, or any dietary specifications.
