“Chloe is amazing! My super shy cat warmed up to her and was waiting for her at the door by the end of her visit. I would recommend her 10/10 to anyone. She provided peace of mind and was thorough with her photos and communication. Thank you Chloe!!”
“I was leaving on a business trip and had to leave my Furbabies!! I was so worried about them. I hate leaving them any time I go away! Peter came and met them. Immediately my shy cat went up to him and rubbed her head against his hand. I was shocked. I knew then this was going to work. Peter came early and was concerned about everything! He wanted to make sure that they were happy, and I felt relaxed leaving my precious babies with him. If you want someone reliable that truly cares, call Peter!! I will be!!!!”
“Elizabeth was super responsive and always answered my sometimes ridiculous questions. She didn’t make me feel like I was being a paranoid Pet parent even though I know I was. She even got my old man grumpy cat to play a little bit. I would give her six stars if I could.”
“I cannot recommend Cathy B. highly enough- dependable, affectionate with my beloved pet- gave me peace of mind to take a brief break with no worries. You can't go wrong here!”
“Alyssa was very professional to work with. We loved receiving her daily messages regarding our cat’s care and pics of him. She demonstrates excellent communication skills and was respectful in terms of interacting with our cat. Would definitely recommend her for drop in cat care visits and look forward to working with her in the future !”
“She is the best and most patient sitter I have ever met. She not only did a fantastic job she helped my Dino start to get over his anxiety! Work in progress as it’s a journey and she has the patience of a saint!”
About: I am retired and have recently relocated to northern jersey. I am an avid animal lover. I have always had my own pets. Unfortunately, I had to say goodbye to my fur baby of 13 1/2 years and am not quite ready to adopt at this time but sincerely miss having an animal in my life. I am helping to care for a dear friend’s cat and although truthfully I am more a "dog" person, I now find myself beginning to appreciate "cats”. Cats are really fascinating (and a lot different) than dogs. I believe that I am a person who you can trust with one of your most prized possessions, your "fur-babies". I love walking, so dog walking is a win win!! Drop in visits are also no problem!! Unfortunately. I am unable to offer pet sitting at this time. I love to walk and especially enjoy walking for a furry companion. Home visits for either dogs and cats are also something I enjoy doing. I am currently unavailable for pet sitting. However, I do prefer walking small or medium dogs and will give them the exercise and/or company they need.
“Rebecca was amazing! My cat can be anxious around strangers, and I was super nervous using rover for the first time, but she was so fantastic (with both of us). I couldn’t have asked for someone better. I will definitely be going back to Rebecca anytime I need someone to drop in my cat.”
“Lindsey provided excellent care for both Margo and Momo while I was away. She kept me updated at every visit and took ample photos. I would not hesitate to reach out to her for any future pet sitting needs.”
“Jenn was great. She met with me before hand to go over everything and was incredibly friendly. She kept me updated on my two cats and sent photos every single time. Love her !”
“Chelsea is truly exceptional! She took excellent photos of our cats and they loved her! We returned from our vacation to our cats being totally stress free, which we contribute to the great care of Chelsea. We are lucky to have found her!”
“Pew Pew was very happy in Alina's care. Alina is very communicative and helpful. Alina gave Pew Pew her medicine daily and was flexible with a last minute change. Thank you Alina!”
“Heather did a wonderful job making such pumpkin was taken care of and happy. She sent me pictures and I can see once getting back from my vacation everything was in order 😌 fed my fish. I definitely will be using Heather again if needed, and recommend her to anyone.”
“Raquel took great care of our boys while we were away and was very responsive and prompt. We will definitely request her again for future trips and would recommend her services to others!”
About: Hi! I am a lifelong animal lover with decades of experience caring for pets- my own, as well as those of friends and family. To me, pets are family- and I understand just how much they mean to the people who love them. That's why I believe it's so important to have someone you trust, that will care for your pets with the same love & attention that you would. I'm here to be that person . I work from home so this gives me the flexibility to provide consistent care- whether it is walks, feedings, or check-ins. I'm able to adapt to their needs. I do have a fenced in yard; but I like to create a calm, safe space for my animals and I have a routine to ensure consistency. And not to mention, that they get lots of love and attention!
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and have over ten years of pet sitting experience. I grew up with a house full of pets- cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, gerbils, fish, a frog, and even a turtle and a snake at one point! I’ve always been the one friends and family turn to when they need a reliable sitter. I’ve cared for everything from Newfoundlands to Chihuahuas and Sphinx cats to Bengals. I’m comfortable with all types of personalities and temperaments, and I’m experienced handling larger breeds, including pits and bullies. I love getting to know each pet’s quirks and making sure they feel safe, happy, and at ease. Whether your pet needs a quick walk, some playtime, or overnight company, I’ll treat them like one of my own, with patience, care, and lots of love. I work part-time with flexible hours, so I’m available most weekdays and weekends, including early mornings and late evenings, for walks, playtime, feedings, and overnight stays. I’m happy to take dogs on leashed walks, saunter around the yard for some fresh air, or engage in indoor playtime - whatever best fits their routine and energy level. I’m experienced with feedings, medication (including drops), and potty routines like doggie bags, wee wee pad changes, and litter scooping. I’m also respectful of any house rules and will follow your instructions closely to ensure your pet stays happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away.
About: I've had a love for animals as long as I can remember. As a young child finding strays , cats or dogs and caring for them until the owners where found. Love these fur babies and will care for them like my own. I am currently unemployed and love animals and walking -perfect fit! My schedule is open to help when needed. Would love to schedule a meetup with your fur baby. Each pet has its own routine to be discussed prior to my care. Will follow the needs of each pet individually and any additional requirements as needed.
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including walking, bathing, and ensuring their overall well-being. I previously worked as a dog bather, giving me hands-on experience with different breeds and temperaments. As a dedicated pet lover with three dogs of my own, I understand the importance of patience, exercise, and affection in pet care. Friends and family have come to me for years to look after and walk their pets! My previous experiences has equipped me to handle various energy levels and needs, ensuring each pet gets personalized attention. Whether it’s a fun walk or just some extra love, I always prioritize their happiness and safety. Pet care fits naturally into my routine as a college student with a flexible schedule. I have Mondays, Fridays, and most weekends free, along with availability on Tuesdays after 2 PM and Wednesdays after 12 PM. My schedule allows me to be reliable and accommodating. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, routine, and well-being. I follow any specific instructions provided, ensuring meals, walks, and playtime align with their usual schedule. I provide fresh water, give plenty of attention, and make sure they get the exercise they need. If needed, I can also handle light grooming, such as brushing or wiping paws after walks. I always respect the client’s home, keeping it clean and secure while ensuring their pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for in their familiar environment.
About: If you care enough to be here on Rover seeking a pet sitter, you must feel the same as I do; your pet is a family member. As a former veterinary technician, I can attest this is not the case with all people. Whether you use my services or not, I respect you very much for being here and appreciate your devotion to your pet. That being said, my commitment to taking care of animals reaches no bounds. I am a firm believer our pets don't live long enough, and for that reason any moment we can make special for them we should. I want each visit with your pet to be special. I will gladly send you video or text updates if requested. In short, what I want to offer is top-notch veterinary trained experience at an affordable rate. I welcome the opportunity to meet your pet(s)! I invite you to meet my pet family in the pictures below. Personally, I own a very active ten year old whippet pit bull mix. She has special needs and requires six small feedings a day as well as IBS management during times of transition. I have a two year old son who drops food often and I must be diligent about making sure she is not eating his food. I understand pets can be unpredictable and move fast when motivated as a result. It is important to foresee what negative things can happen so I make sure to be proactive while caring for my pets and others as well.

This is the important quality about Debbie; she cares for all pets equally, if they are hers or belong to others. Debbie enjoys walking dogs, and would follow whatever care directions are left for her. She is a very capable and reliable person and you would not have to think twice that your pet was in the most trusted hands. I recommend her wholeheartedly.”
