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: 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. 🐾

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.

“Jessica was incredible, we would recommend her in a heartbeat! She went above and beyond, communicating every step of the way and following all instructions precisely. This was the first time we used Rover since our cat started taking daily medication and we were a little unsure about how she would respond to a new person giving her medications but Jessica is clearly a pro! Her updates and the level of care she provided gave us so much peace of mind. We’ll definitely be reaching out again for future care! Thanks Jessica!”

West Side pet parents share their Rover experiences
Simply amazing! I will always ask Alekhandra to take care of my Bruno. This was my first time leaving my baby with a dog sitter and she made both Bruno and myself feel very comfortable and assured that he was in good hands. She even taught me how to properly get the harness on the puppy and how to train him for walks. She’s great and I’m more than happy with her services!

Lin is a very thorough and compassionate catsitter and I’m extremely happy that I booked her for my first Rover appointment. She spent lots of time at the meet and greet to get to learn our preferences and my cat’s personality. My kitty has a big personality and has also been acting out a bit because this was the first time he was taken care of by someone he didn’t know, but Lin consistently offered tons of patience and attention to make sure he felt happy and comfortable with her care. I would highly recommend Lin to anyone!

Wow, talk about going above and beyond! We are so grateful for Isaac caring for our two pups while we were out of town. He provided thorough updates in each check-in, amazing photos, and is just an overall responsive and caring person. We can’t wait to have him watch our pups again. He is trusted, kind, and will treat your fur babies like one of his own. Thank you, Isaac!!!
Sarah took great care of Toby during his drop-in visits. She gave him his dinner, took him out for potty breaks, and made me feel very comfortable while I was away. Toby seemed happy and well cared for, and I really appreciated the updates. I would absolutely book with her again!

Aleksandra was great with our cat! She sent us lots of pictures and dealt with all his tantrums effortlessly. He always looked very engaged in her photos, and he can be really lazy. We were always updated when she was dropping by. All his areas were kept very clean. She even helped with our plants, and they looked great on our return.

Evan is great! He is communicative and treats our car so well. :) It gives us peace of mind to have someone checking in on our cats while we’re away! Evan sends us lots of cute pictures of them during his visits.🤣 We will absolutely be booking with Evan again.

Jessica was an amazing cat sitter for my two kitties! When we first met, she diligently took notes on everything she would need to know for their care. While I was gone, Jessica sent excellent pictures of my cats and I felt comfortable and confident that they were in great hands. I definitely recommend her and will be booking her again! :)
