“There is never any hesitation each time Rover asks me to leave a review for Jamie following our bookings. She is, hands-down, the best cat sitter we have had for our two cats,(following some very negative experiences), and my hope is that my reviews help other pet owners make the decision to hire Jamie for their pet-sitting needs! One of our cats has pretty severe separation anxiety when we leave for an extended period of time. We’ve come home in the past to our house in disarray and some ruined furniture. However, since hiring Jamie to sit for us, we've had ZERO issues when arriving home. It's clear to us that our cats not only trust her, but that her care for them translates into them feeling safe and taken care of. We come home to cats that are content, happy and not-at-all anxious. To be able to enjoy vacation without worrying about our pets or what we might come home to, is such a huge relief. Jamie is the ultimate professional and we highly recommend her to any pet owner out there. Not only is she a great pet sitter, but she’s also goes above and beyond to take care of our home. For past bookings, I’ve asked if she was able to spritz my orchids while taking care of the boys. She, of course, has always obliged. However, this time around, I forgot to ask for that specific task and resigned myself to the fact that my orchids might be a little dry when I arrived home. BUT, when receiving my first update from Jamie, I saw that she remembered past bookings and took the time to spritz my plants without me asking. Those small acts and her attention to detail will always have me coming back to Jamie for our home/pet sitting needs. We are so grateful and blessed to have found her! I hope that any owner reading this review will eventually get to leave their own : )”

“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!!”

“Peter was great with truffle! He came on time and took truffle for a nice long walk. Truffle was all smiles on return and had yhe zoomies ..so he’s ready to go again. Thanks Peter !”

“Cheryl & Elmar each dropped-in to visit my new 10 week old puppy who is adapting to his parents going back to work. Hudson absolutely loved playing with them and they provided plenty of pictures and videos to ensure Hudson was comfortable and having a great time.”

“Helene is awesome. I heard her on my ring cameras talking to my pups, and could immediately tell she’s a true animal lover. She followed my instructions and sent several great photos. We will most definitely be repeat customers!”

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.
“Melinda had her first visit with Gracie yesterday. She was so sweet with her, knowing that she just lost her fur sister. She sent videos and you could see how happy Gracie was to see and be with her. Thank you Melinda for taking such good care of Gracie!”

“Thanks for being sure our girl, Nessie, got out this week. We appreciate having a reliable person to care for her. I hope your dog is doing better and home from the vet. She will see you next week!”

“Heather was a wonderful sitter for our two cats, who we found happy and healthy after one of the longest periods we've ever left them in a sitter's care. We also returned to a clean house with our mail and packages brought inside. Thank you, Heather.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life—dogs of all sizes, cats, bunnies, birds, lizards, and even snakes! I’ve cared for pets with a wide range of needs, from administering medications to managing quirky habits. I’m comfortable with all types of dogs, including rescues with boundless energy (I have one myself who can easily jump a 5-foot fence). No matter what comes my way, I provide loving, capable, and competent care. And, I’ll be sure to send lots of photos of my time with your pet :) I have a flexible schedule with availability in the early mornings, afternoons and evenings on weekdays, weekends, and most holidays (with advance notice). I am happy to work with you on a schedule that best fits your pet’s needs. I provide personalized drop-in visits in your home to make sure your pet stays happy, comfortable, and safe. During each visit, I spend quality time with your pet—feeding, giving fresh water, administering any medications, taking dogs for walks/bathroom breaks, and providing plenty of love and attention. I follow your instructions carefully and make sure your home stays tidy. My goal is to keep your pet comfortable and cared for, just as if you were there.
About: I’ve always been an animal person! Growing up surrounded by pets, I’ve had the joy of caring for everything from tiny critters to big, lovable dogs. I’ve also volunteered at veterinary clinics and animal shelters, making sure every animal I meet feels safe, cared for, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or just keeping them comfortable, I treat every pet like family. As a nursing student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time to pet care. I’m physically active and love staying on the move, which makes walks and playtime even more enjoyable. I’m available for walks two days a week and on weekends, and I’ll always make sure your pets get the exercise and attention they need I’ll come to pick up your dog and take them for a walk around your neighborhood or the nearest park—whichever you prefer. Walks can be as long as you’d like, and I’ll make sure to keep things safe and enjoyable using proper walking practices. After the walk, I’m happy to spend extra time playing and giving your pup attention. I’ll only provide treats if you’re comfortable with it, so your dog’s routine and health always come first.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and can’t imagine not having them around. I’ve had multiple dogs since I was a kid, which taught me how to care for pets of all sizes and personalities. I also worked at a dog kennel, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of every breed, from energetic puppies to calm seniors. I’m very comfortable handling different temperaments and following specific routines or care instructions. I’m also great with cats and have cared for my friends’ two cats while they were away. I currently work full time remotely, which gives me a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I typically work a standard 9–5, but since I’m home throughout the day, I’m able to accommodate pet care requests within reason. Whether it’s a quick walk, drop-in visit, or extended stay, I can easily adjust my routine to make sure your pet gets the attention and care they need. I have two dogs of my own, and since one doesn’t get along well with other dogs, I don’t offer boarding in my home. However, I’m more than happy to care for pets in their own environment, where they’re most comfortable. I can come to your home for drop-in visits, walks, or even overnight stays if needed. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just keeping your pets company, I’ll make sure they’re well cared for and comfortable while you’re away.
About: *** Please don't send me requests for dates if you see my calendar is already blocked off with those dates & PLEASE READ MY ENTIRE PROFILE BEFORE BOOKING *** I keep my calendar up to date so use other dates if Rover insists you must pick dates for sitting in order for a message to go thru** Also, if booking for day care, after 4 hours of a stay, this is going to get the full day rate because I do not take multiple dogs I am also charging for 3 days when it's a weekend if the dog is coming early on Friday and going home on Sunday because I can't have a dog for 3 days and only get paid for 2 days. I have only raised my rate by $1-2 since Covid & take one family of dogs at a time. Please respond back to all messages if you reach out. Thx. ** I am trying to take dogs now under 50 pounds, very small/small to medium preferred. It would be very helpful if you list the specific breed of your dog too and give details. No aggressive breeds taken, sorry, no Pitbulls. My husband and I both work from home as my only job is caring for the dogs staying at my house. It is nice because someone is always here and the dogs get a ton of attention. My name is Hope Landow-Schnur and I adore dogs. I raised my own dogs for over 14+ years - Bailey and Jango. Everyone that knows me, knows that I am the ultimate pet lover and treated my dogs as well as my children. We have a nice home in River Vale, NJ with a huge 6' high fenced in yard. I am married with triplets - 22 years old and they love playing with our guest dogs. I have my own big crate set up (only if you crate your dog) and ready to welcome your dog(s) into my home when you need to be away overnight or for an extended period of time. I will do my best to keep your treasured pet on their own schedule with feedings, playtime and time outside running around the back yard or if you prefer, walks only. I've made floor dogs into lap dogs, they get extra spoiled with me! You will also get lots of photos & updates when you are away. I just recently changed my setting to small to medium dogs if you are a repeat customer and can not find me on line. I'm also available for dog day care in my home if my calendar is free. After 6 hours, it is considered a full rate instead of the daily rate if you plan to leave your dog with me. Looking forward to hearing from you & I respond back promptly! Thanks. Hope
“Yvette was awesome! Took such good care of my 3 little fur babies. Definitely went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and I was in the loop with pictures and updates. One million percent would book again! Thank you!!!! 🐾🐾🐾”

About: Hey fellow pet owners, I am a retired NYC Police Officer who loves animals, I am located in Township of Washington and am available for drop in visits for playtime or for a nice walk. I look forward to getting to know you and your wonderful pets. I am available on weekdays at anytime in between school drop off and pickup as I have three children in school. Can make availability on weekends too. My home is fully fenced in and is extremely dog friendly and doggy safe. I have an extra large yard which is great for dogs to run, play and get out some energy while getting some exercise.
About: Hello! Since I was a child I've been a huge lover of animals. I have my own 6-year-old boxer mix who is a sweetheart but a handful (leash reactive to other dogs) and volunteered as a dog walker for the DC Humane Rescue Alliance for six months in 2023, so I have a lot of experience handling dogs with a variety of temperaments and personalities. I currently have wide-open availability after being recently furloughed from my full-time job due to the Executive Order freezing foreign aid. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry babes! Having recently been laid off from my FT job working on maternal and infant nutrition programs due to the Executive Order freezing foreign aid, I have very flexible availability Sunday through Saturday from 8am-8pm. I am available for pet care visits in your home and dog walking. I am very respectful of others' homes and property. I'm happy to do an introductory visit to meet you and your pets.
“To be honest, we were a little afraid to leave our two kitties in the hands of a stranger when we considered Rover. But we were so lucky to have Suzanne as our catsitter. She's absolutely wonderful! Coming back from our holidays we found our kitties happier than ever! Thanks Suzanne!”
