About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. My household includes a Doberman Pinscher, a Great Dane, and two Maine Coon cats, so I'm comfortable managing everything from giant breeds and high-energy dogs to independent, affectionate cats. Living with a Doberman has given me experience with intelligent, active dogs that thrive on structure, exercise, and attention. My Great Dane has taught me the unique needs of giant breeds, including gentle handling, patience, and awareness of their size and comfort. My two Maine Coons have helped me develop an understanding of feline behavior, grooming needs, and creating a calm, enriching environment for cats. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their routine, I have the space and resources to provide attentive, reliable care tailored to their individual needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐕🐈 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As the owner of a Doberman Pinscher, a Great Dane, and two Maine Coon cats, my days are already structured around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, exercise, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I work with a flexible schedule that allows me to be present throughout the day for potty breaks, walks, supervised play, and check-ins. Pets in my care receive regular attention rather than being left alone for long periods. My large rooftop deck also provides a convenient space for supervised outdoor time and exercise between walks. I understand the importance of maintaining consistency, so I do my best to follow your pet's normal routine, including feeding times, medication schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions. Whether your pet is energetic and active or prefers a quieter environment, I can accommodate their individual needs and help them feel comfortable and at home during their stay. 🐾 Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment where animals can relax, play, and feel at home while you're away. I share my home with two friendly, well-socialized large dogs—a Doberman Pinscher and a Great Dane—who are accustomed to being around other animals. I carefully manage introductions and always prioritize each pet's comfort level to ensure a positive experience for everyone. One of the highlights of my home is a spacious 1,600-square-foot private rooftop deck, providing plenty of room for supervised outdoor time, fresh air, play, and exercise. Pets are never left unattended outdoors, and all activities are monitored to maintain a safe environment. As a pet owner myself, I understand the trust involved in leaving your furry family member in someone else's care. I'll keep you updated with regular photos, videos, and messages so you can feel confident and connected while you're away. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. 🐾

“Andrew has been great with our puppy. We were apprehensive to leave him for the first time with anyone but our fears were lifted with how attentive Andrew is with providing updates and his real care for our dog. Definitely a good choice!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets of family and friends since a young age, which helped me build a strong connection with animals—especially dogs. From daily walks and feeding routines to playtime and companionship, I’m comfortable handling dogs of different personalities and energy levels. I truly enjoy being around pets and understand how important patience, attention, and affection are to their well-being. Spending time with dogs never feels like work to me—it’s something I genuinely love. I recently moved to New Jersey and am currently job searching, which gives me the flexibility to dedicate my time and energy to dog walking and pet care. This allows me to be dependable, responsive, and accommodating to different schedules. Walking dogs fits naturally into my daily routine, keeps me active, and lets me do something I enjoy while providing consistent care for pets whose owners need a helping hand. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I make sure dogs are securely leashed, walked in safe areas and monitored closely at all times. I follow any specific instructions provided by owners. I treat every pet with kindness, respect, and care. You can trust that your dog will be in safe, loving hands with me.
“I had Kate and Alex take care of my cat Clara for 2 weeks when I was on vacation. Throughout this time, they were very communicative and responsive. They made me feel better about having Clara in their care since it was my first time leaving her home alone. Will definitely reach out again next time I'm on vacation!”

“Alexandra was the best sitter I could have asked for. She was timely, clean, communicative, friendly, and my pet LOVED her. I will definitely rebook her if she’s available.”

About: I’m a 19 year old college student who currently isn’t working, so I spend most of my time at home. I have a small Maltese Shih Tzu mix that I’ve had for almost nine years, and he’s a big part of my daily life. I love taking him on walks, bringing him to the dog park, and just going out with him in general because I truly believe all pets deserve to enjoy fresh air and have a good day outside. I also have experience caring for other animals, since I’ve looked after friends and family members pets, including dogs, cats, and even bunnies. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, making sure they feel safe, cared for, and happy. My schedule is pretty flexible overall. I attend college Monday through Thursday, but my classes are only about three hours each day. Outside of that, I’m usually at home, which gives me plenty of time and availability to care for pets, take them on walks, and give them the attention they need. I’m free most afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I can easily adjust my routine to fit different pet care needs. I live in a small apartment but i’ll make sure your furry friends has a bunch of company from me and my dog 😊 i’ll keep you updated and make sure they get treated like royalty😇
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my patience and my ability to adapt to each dog’s individual needs. I have hands-on experience caring for my own dogs as well as dogs belonging to friends and acquaintances while they were traveling. I am especially comfortable caring for senior dogs and dogs with cardiac conditions. I understand the importance of routine, close observation, and giving medications carefully and on time. I always follow the owner’s instructions in detail to ensure each dog’s health and well-being. I also have experience working with puppies. I know how to keep them engaged with age-appropriate activities, both indoors and outdoors, while maintaining structure and safety. In addition, I have some experience with positive reinforcement training, focusing on patience, consistency, and encouragement rather than punishment. My goal is to provide calm, attentive, and loving care so every dog feels safe, understood, and well cared for. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work remotely and manage my own schedule, which allows me to be flexible and fully available to meet each pet’s needs. I have plenty of time to provide attention, regular walks, playtime, and any additional care a dog may require throughout the day. I’m able to adapt my routine to match the pet’s usual schedule, whether that involves frequent breaks, quiet companionship, or more active moments. Most importantly, I truly enjoy the company of animals and value the time spent with them, making pet care not just a responsibility, but something I genuinely love doing. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets in my home. I always take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs before welcoming them into my space. Pets in my care stay in a calm, clean, and secure environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I closely supervise them, maintain consistent feeding and walking schedules, and make sure they always have access to fresh water and a safe space to rest. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including feeding routines, medications, and any special care requirements. I pay close attention to details and adapt my care to each pet’s needs, whether they require extra patience, a quieter environment, or more frequent check-ins. I prioritize gentle handling, patience, and positive reinforcement at all times, and I keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident knowing their pet is in responsible and caring hands.

Aniko was an excellent sitter for my 19yo diabetic cat. We met ahead of time and my cat immediately loved her. She kept me up to date with pictures and videos throughout my trip. Aniko gave detailed insights into each visit with him and even brought him a new toy (which he is obsessed with). I came home to a happy cat thanks to Aniko. I will be reaching out to her in the future when I need a sitter. 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had a wonderful experience! Elena was punctual, professional, and so kind with my two cats. It was clear she genuinely cared about them and made sure they were comfortable and well looked after. I really appreciated her reliability and would definitely book her again. Highly recommend!

Christina is simply the best! I’ve been booking her so much I consider her part of our family. She is so attentive and communicative and thoughtful. My cat Winnie runs to the door when she visits and she does this for no one! Thank you Christina for always going the extra mile! ❤️

I reached out to Isaac fairly last minute when I needed a regular walker for my puppy on the days I’m in the office after my previous walker went on an extended vacation. He responded quickly, asked all the right questions, and has been incredibly reliable ever since. As a first time puppy owner, I definitely get nervous about leaving him with someone I didn’t know. Isaac offered to do a meet and greet first, and within minutes I could tell my dog absolutely adored him. Since then, he’s become a staple in our routine, and I know my dog genuinely looks forward to seeing him every week. Communication has been fantastic. I always get updates and the best photos from their walks, which definitely makes being away a little easier. He’s also been amazing about accommodating last minute drop-in requests when something comes up. Even now that my original walker is back, I’ve asked Isaac to continue walking my dog one or two days a week because I know how much he loves him. I can’t recommend Isaac enough to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring dog walker.

Aleksandra was very patient and kind to my super shy cat. She checked in on my cat for 4 days and was prompt and communicative throughout. She went out of her way to make sure he ate, even as he hid. My cat is always scared of new people but he opened up to Aleksandra by the third day. I would highly recommend her as she will take very good care of your pet!

We’ve booked Jessica three times now, and she has been amazing every single time! She takes such great care of our cats, making sure they’re fed, checked on, and happy while we’re away. She always keeps us updated with photos and messages, which gives us so much peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals, and our cats are always well cared for when she’s with them. We highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy cat sitter. Thank you again, Jessica!

Karina was wonderful- we booked last minute because of a trip and I was worried about having someone I didn’t know check in on my cats, but she was so immediately communicative and attentive that I was able to relax and enjoy the whole time I was gone. Her vibes are immaculate, my normally shy cat warmed up to her right away! I can tell she cares, the summaries of visits that she sent sounded just like my furry gremlins. 10/10 would recommend

We had a wonderful experience with Joyce! We were away for 2 weeks, and she came by every day to feed our two cats. She also spent time playing with one of them, while our other cat is very shy and not very social. Joyce respected each cat’s personality and made sure they were both well cared for. She sent us daily photo updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that our cats were happy and in great hands. Joyce did an amazing job, and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy cat sitter!

Kobi was phenomenal with my Benito! He took to her right away in their meet and greet and my worries instantly disappeared. I booked her for 30min morning drop in visits for 2 weeks and she went above and beyond taking great care of my baby. She even spent extra time with him on days when she could. She sent daily updates and pictures. I came back to clean apartment and a well taken care of kitty. Will definitely rebook her in the future if she’s available! ☺️

Sydney showed great care for Princess Fluffy, and I am extremely appreciative!! This was my first time using Rover, and I felt very comfortable letting Sydney take care of my cat as she was extremely friendly and even spoke to Princess in Spanish like I asked ❤️ I would recommend Sydney to anyone in the Jersey City area!!!
