About: For a little over four years I've been the go-to pet sitter for my coworkers when they go on vacation. I've researched all things related to dogs pretty much from the moment I learned to use a computer because I've spent almost all my life trying to convince my parents to get a dog. Spoiler alert, I was unsuccessful ): but not for lack of trying ("dogs are too big of a financial commitment" according to them... but four kids isn't??? but I digress lol)! Training has always been fascinating to me, it never fails to amaze me how smart dogs are! Overall I just love their energy and how loving they can be, being around dogs is truly therapeutic and does wonders for your mental health! You're so blessed to have one in your life and I would be honored to care for them (: <3 Sunday-Wednesday and Friday I work 7-3 and I’m off all day on Thursday and Saturday! Currently taking a break from school, so as soon as I get out of work I'll be free to devote my time to your doggies (: I live in a big apartment with a home office that I turn into the doggy room essentially although they are welcome to roam throughout the apartment of course! My neighborhood is very walkable (one of my favorite things about where I live) and I’m about a mile and a half away from like 3 parks!

Sonya is absolutely incredible ! Extremely reliable, courteous, professional and punctual! She genuinely loves our dogs (2 exceptionally large and rambunctious Bernese mountain pups > 130lbs each!!). From the moment she arrives she provides constant attention, playtime in the backyard and is very attentive when it comes to following specific instructions for the pups. Highly recommended her !

Elissa was a great sitter for our 13 week old pup. She took her time to meet and get comfortable with our puppy. She was in constant communication with us throughout the day and sent us pictures and updates on her behavior. We felt really comfortable leaving her in our house and everything was kept neat and tidy. We would absolutely recommend her as a pet sitter.

About: From childhood & on, i have always had pets; ranging from furry to feathered friends. I am an animal lover & active. I walk my dog everyday as a bonding moment, exercise & mental stimulation. My family & friends have trusted me to take care of their dogs/pets more than i can count. I trained my brother & sister-in-law’s puppy to walk on leash, crate, sit & paw. I helped my friend, Emily, with her newly rescued dog. I rescued an elderly chihuahua that relied on medications & required extensive attention. I am comfortable with all dog breeds. I use Tractive GPS and do in person meet and greet with no commitment. I am going to school in January & have too much time on my hands. I am available daily to walk a half hour to an hour. My pets eat before I do, your pet will have my full attention as well. I have a fenced in backyard & a rescued beagle mix. I take him on daily walks, feed, bathe, brush, etc. I always watch my surroundings & can handle dogs that pull. Your dog is safe with me.

This was our very first time using Rover, and as extremely overprotective dog parents, we were definitely nervous. But Brad was absolutely amazing from start to finish. He eased our minds with daily updates, complete with photos and videos that showed just how well our dog was doing! We also had a Fi tracker on his collar and it was so reassuring to see how many walks and steps he was getting. Brad took him out so often, even more than our normal routine! Our dog occasionally gets so excited that he’ll throw up if he hasn’t eaten in a while, and when it happened, Brad immediately texted us, cleaned it up, and made sure he ate and drank after. His communication was quick, calm, and thoughtful, which helped us feel totally at ease. It was clear our dog was incredibly well cared for — he got plenty of walks, playtime with his toys, and lots of attention. Honestly, he looked sad when Brad left! Brad also left our home neat and spotless, which we really appreciated. We feel like we hit the jackpot with Brad. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to take care of our fur baby, and we’d recommend him to absolutely anyone. We hope to book with him again!

About: I have always been involved in pet care in my home for over 15 years. I have had experience with elderly dogs and cats of my own. I have pet-sitted in my neighborhood for puppies and for breeds different from my own dogs. I will use my energy to play with your pet and hopefully decrease their energy. I have a very flexible schedule since graduating college and I am looking to spend my time studying and taking the MCAT. I have lots of time and availability for stop-ins during the day or bringing study materials to a client’s home. My yard is fenced in and I can take dogs for a walk in Brookdale Park nearby. I will administer medicine and play with dogs and provide them with a cuddly environment.

Camille was absolutely amazing with our fur-baby. She was super responsive, on time and willing to help in any way. She also sent us pictures of them napping together, hiking in the park together and just having a great time. We found it amusing that we were the one's on vacation but our dog came out of it looking like she had the best time. Highly recommended!

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have had my own since I was younger. I currently have two small dogs, so I’m very familiar with daily care, routines, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe. I’ve also helped take care of friends’ pets, including dogs and cats. I’ve done drop-in visits where I fed them, played with them, and made sure they were well taken care of while their owners were away. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. I always make sure pets feel I work mornings, but I’m available for pet care in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m off on Sundays and Tuesdays, so I have extra flexibility those days for walks, drop-ins, or longer visits. I’m reliable and like to stay consistent with schedules. I’m also easy to communicate with and happy to adjust based on what works best for you and your pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I make sure dogs are secure on walks and always pay attention to their behavior and surroundings. I’m patient and adjust to each pet’s energy level, whether they’re playful or more calm. I also send updates and photos so you always know your pet is safe and doing well.

About: I live at home with my parents in a small 3 bedroom ranch home. Our property is about half an acre, but is not fenced in. There’s a dog park not far that is a safe place to take them to burn some energy. I have two of my own dogs who are wholly a part of our family and we treat them like any other family member. I have an undergraduate degree that provided me with a lot of exposure to animals of all sizes and breeds. Between these two facts, I am happy to make new four-legged friends and take the time to learn how they best thrive in the time we have with them on this earth. I currently have a full-time office job in West Caldwell, NJ. I work until 5pm during the week, and typically available by 5:30pm during the week. Weekends are fairly open for lots of playtime with your furry family! I have two very friendly dogs at home that we treat like any other family member. I will do my best to show that same respect to your pets and maintain your pet’s normal routine while you are away.

I had Ivy stay with my girl Cassie for 3 nights. She did a great job! Cassie and I loved her on our meet and greet. She was very respectful of my home as well. She took the time to write down all feeding and medication times because she knew how important it was to give her medication every 12 hours. I would definitely recommend her to care for your pets. I get nervous leaving Cassie when I have to travel for work, but Ivy staying with her definitely put my mind at ease. I will be using her again for my next trip in a few weeks!

About: If you give me the opportunity to care for your pet, you'll feel at ease knowing I'll take care of it as if it were my own. I'll give it all the love and attention it needs to make you feel happy. Right now I'd like to dedicate myself solely to animals and their care. I have every day of the week free to dedicate myself to them. For me, all animals deserve the same treatment and care. I always give them my best, no matter the occasion. I will always give you all my love, attention and you will never lack my care.

Jennifer house sit with our dog for several days and was great to work with. I would highly recommend. When we came home we can tell that our dog was well taken care of and happy. She also took care of the house very well- and went above and beyond for us. She kept us posted and gave us updates on how our dog was doing and what he was up to. Our dog also had a recent minor leg injury and Jennifer was extra careful with him and followed our instructions well.

Svetlana sent photos and texts and our pets were very well taken care of while we were away. We have two dogs with very different energy levels, routines and personalities, but she managed to juggle them both. Her communication pre dog sitting was excellent and she arrived early so she could meet our dogs and spend some time with them before we left the house. I am very happy with Svetlana as a dog sitter and we will definitely call her again. THANK YOU Svetlana

My partner and I were so worried about leaving our dog alone for the night as we headed for our wedding. It would be the first time our little guy wasn’t with us. Sonya was very professional and extremely caring when it came to watching our 9 month old pup! She was very detailed and kept updating us throughout her stay. She followed our instructions to a T and everything was wonderful! If I ever need someone to watch our pup again, I’m going straight to Sonya! She was just a joy to work with! 10 out of 10!
