About: With a full year of Rover experience and a strong base of repeat clients, I bring reliability, consistency, and genuine care to every booking. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, including my own 80‑lb senior lab, and I understand how important it is to maintain routines, provide calm structure, and keep pets comfortable. Whether your pet needs playtime, quiet companionship, or extra patience, I’m committed to giving them attentive, high‑quality care. A meet & greet is required for all first time clients. I want to make sure this is a good fit for everyone! Pet care is a core part of my everyday life because pet‑sitting is my full‑time job. My days revolve around maintaining consistent routines, giving each pet plenty of attention, and making sure everyone feels comfortable and cared for. I’m home throughout the day, which means I can provide regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and companionship without rushing or squeezing things in. With my own 8‑year‑old, 80‑lb lab by my side, caring for dogs is simply part of the rhythm of my home and my week. Pets staying with me get reliable structure, lots of interaction, and a calm environment where they can settle in and feel at ease. I offer both in‑home boarding and in‑home sitting, and I tailor my care to whatever helps pets feel the most comfortable. When pets stay with me, they have full access to my fenced‑in backyard for safe outdoor time, plus daily walks either through downtown Lambertville or along the quieter D&R towpath depending on their energy level and personality. My home is set up for dogs to relax, follow familiar routines, and enjoy plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m also happy to stay in a client’s home when that’s the best fit. In those cases, I adapt completely to the pet’s existing schedule, environment, and household routines—whether that means sticking to specific feeding times, maintaining training habits, or keeping their usual walking routes. My goal is always to make pets feel secure, understood, and cared for, no matter which service their family chooses.
“Katie was wonderful. Our cats were happy and content when we arrived home, and she did a great job following our requested instructions. She was always responsive to any communication I sent. We will certainly book Katie again.”
“Chandra is very kind and took great care of Layka for us!! He communicated with us and was very easy to work with. We hope to have him care for Layka (and Sludge) again! :)”
“Laura was incredibly responsive and communicative from the start, and she was willing to take care of my dog on very short notice. My dog was well cared for and happy when I returned. I truly appreciate her flexibility and professionalism. Highly recommend!”
“Brooke is a great pet sitter! She came to our house every day to take care of our cat Cleo during our last vacation. We got tons of pictures and updates from Brooke. I felt very comfortable that our little girl was well cared for.”
About: Hi there! My whole life I’ve grown up with every type of animal you can think of! I’ve had dogs my whole life and they are my absolute world. I would care for your animals as if they were my own:) Family and friends have relied and trusted me to care for their animals through out the years. I have references if needed! I currently want to pick up dog walking and petting sitting on my free time when I’m not at my 9-5 job. I am available to take your dogs for walks, play with them, feed them, etc. I am also available on the weekends. My dogs are lucky to be able to have the freedom to play, go for walks and get lots of love. I want your dogs to have the same experience from me in the comfort of your own home.
“We were thrilled to be able to book Bethany again to care for our cat Roscoe. She is super communicative, dependable, and trustworthy. Roscoe would love to see her again in the future!”
“Naomi took wonderful care of our dog Stella! She was on time, very responsive, and sent lots of great photos! We wouldn't hesitate to have Naomi take care of our dog in the future!”
About: I have been a pet owner, foster mom, rescue volunteer, and assistance dog trainer for more than two decades. I am a teacher, mom of four grown children, with too much time on my hands and I need some furry friends! I also love to exercise and to walk every day. I am a quiet, introverted person, an avid walker and reader, holder of two masters degrees, and a person of high integrity. I can be trusted in your home. I have experience with very old and very young dogs and cats, with bottle-feeding, administering meds, eye-drops, and even administering subcutaneous fluids. I have puppy trained 7 golden retrievers/standard poodles to be assistance dogs for autistic children which means I took a six-week puppy training course with each pup. I am referred to by my friends and family as the Dog Whisperer. I believe in pet in-loco parentis - pet parent in your absence! I am a preschool teacher (leave my house at 8 and return home by 4.) I like to spend as much of my free time with furry friends. I have been fostering dogs and cats for decades and have a lot of experience sharing my home with other people’s pets. Again, I believe in pet in-loco parentis - pet parent in your absence! I have yet to find an animal I couldn't love. I care for my own pets as if they were my sons and daughters, much to my real children's annoyance!
About: I am a very loyal and caring animal lover (dogs, cats, horses, etc.) I grew up in Lawrenceville, NJ with cats and dogs. One of our chores was taking care of our animals, whether walking the dog, feeding them or changing cat litter and making sure all animals had fresh water daily. As a child, having an animal is a big responsibility but it is one that makes you learn and grow as a child to become a trusting and caring individual with responsibility in the big world we live in today. To be honest, animals are like family, they make you laugh and smile but their always there for you with unconditional love at the end of a busy day which everyone always needs. I am a true animal lover. I am semi-retired and have enjoyed taking care of dogs/cats all my life. Animals bring so much joy each day. I normally stay at clients home. I always make sure animals are fed and cared for each day. It’s important that they have exercise always.
About: Hi! My name is Vanessa, I am a graduate of Kutztown University with a degree in Special Education and two minors in social work and case management. I am seeking positions as a dog sitter as an additional gig. I have prior experience working with dogs and kittens/cats at the EASEL shelter so I am comfortable around animals. I personally do not own a dog, but I love the happiness and companionship a dog and cat gives. Being a sitter allows me to gain the proper experience I need to be able to own a dog in the future! I have experience in dog walking, drop-ins, and house-sitting (for both pets and the elderly). I have my own method of transportation, and a flexible schedule. I hope to meet you shortly!
“Stephanie is a GEM. She took amazing care of Clio, went above and beyond, bringing treats for our chickens, and writing thoughtful (and reassuring) notes for us. She is an excellent communicator, loves animals and caring for them, and we will definitely be using her again.”
About: Leaving a pet in a kennel can be one of the most stressful situations for a pet owner - including myself. This prompted me to take my love of animals, combined with a large property -and a desire for change in my work life as an ICU nurse to begin a "small batch" boarding business. "Small" in numbers of dogs per stay, but not in size, we can accommodate the big breeds as well. ***Many clients and return clients book privately and my availability will be kept up to date on this site*** I've been a "mom" to two Dobermans and have cared for many dogs both at my house along with traditional dog sitting. I love all dogs and am very comfortable with large working breeds. Dogs that need medical care, (injections and medications are welcome as long as they have detailed instructions) are not an issue for me. Your dog is cared for as if it is our family dog - which means having fun, feeling safe, & loved - all with ample room to play - without the confines of a traditional kennel. I work full time from home, so your dog will have plenty of attention and lots of time outdoors to play. I follow your current routine with feedings to keep consistency and reduce any stress - my goal is for your dog to feel this is their "2nd home". My property (aka "Everygreen Hill") is large (2 acres) with slightly over 1 acre fenced. Your pup will have ample room to run in the fenced area, while the comfort of being inside (central AC for summer). A structured walk is an option, and that can be done on my property . Weather permitting, doggie pool, & sprinkler are available for play. Ideally, dogs are crate-trained for sleep time, naps, and breaks to ensure their safety. All dogs must not show aggression or have a history of aggression with other dogs to be accepted into our home and have proof of rabies vaccinations. Pups are permitted on the couch/furniture if they are allowed at their own home. Photos and videos are sent so you can see your pup while you are away.
“Victoria was excellent. on time to let my dog out and even appreciated that he was very “senior” dog. my plans changed but i would have Victoria back if i ever use Rover again. she communicated really well too and send photos of Lucky!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
