“Jessica took care of my cats for two days. She's warm, friendly and communicative. My cats seemed happy and well-cared for upon my return. I'll be hiring Jessica again.”

About: I have experience with taking care of my own fur baby for 7 years. Besides her I have also taken in family pets whilst they went to vacation, as well as drop ins and checking their pets for the duration of two weeks. I was capable of teaching the pets under my care tricks and was always on top of everything being responsible, and making sure the fur babies got the attention they needed. I am also comfortable looking after feline (cat) pets as I have taken care of them with my boyfriends family during drop ins, and also freshwater aquarium pets as I have hosted them in my home for my cousins taking care of up to 6 in a tank. I am in college so I only attend school three days out of the week leaving all day of monday and friday, adding on I have a late class wednesday so I am available early on Wednesdays! I am also free on the weekends. So, I am able to check in with pets during my free time, and make sure to care for the fur babies. I can do afternoons for monday, friday, and the weekend and day time for wednesday! In my home I have one pet, my girl dog pearl who receives all the love she can get and is treated as a family member :) In my home I have a fenced yard, I have treats to provide, toys, and more. I also have a play penn in which pets can have space and play freely if wished to be crated. I will make sure to always give attention to the pets just as if they were my own babies.

“Jiajia was very communicative and thorough in her sessions with my cat mousse! She sent lots of pics, videos and summaries of their time. Helped me feel at ease as I was away from my kitty during the holidays”


About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs since I was little, so animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently have a loving 7-year-old Pit Bull, and being a pet parent has taught me so much about patience, responsibility, and giving pets the love and attention they deserve. I absolutely love animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that means going for walks, playing, cuddling, or simply keeping them company. My family and friends have always trusted me to care for their pets when they’re out of town, busy, or just need an extra hand. I’ve cared for dogs and cats with different personalities and needs, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I want every animal in my care to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and spoiled while their humans are away! My work schedule gives me the flexibility to incorporate pet sitting into my daily and weekly routine. I work throughout New Jersey, so I’m often able to adjust my schedule and make time to care for your pets when they need me. Whether it’s stopping by for a visit, feeding, playtime, or giving them some extra love and attention, I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and needs. My goal is to provide reliable, consistent care while making sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away! When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. For dog walks, I’ll make sure your pup gets a safe, enjoyable walk with plenty of time to sniff, explore, and get some energy out. For check-ins, I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, fresh water, playtime, bathroom breaks, and any other needs your pet may have. I’ll also give them plenty of attention and affection so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve had multiple animals growing up, I’ve always been the friend/ family member that was asked to care for pets. I’m very patient and adapt very well to different routines and conditions. I only work three days out of the week so i’m pretty available for your needs! I have a dog of my own and he’s always had time to be walked and fed on time! My dog is a quiet shy guy, he free roams in the house is walked regularly and fed on time, I’ve mostly done check ins at the clients home, never had any issue following their routine with feeding or walking.
“Lisa is wonderful, an experienced pet owner/sitter. The meet and greet was impressive, as she asked detailed questions and requested vet/emergency numbers “just in case.” She followed directions to the T. My three dogs loved her! It was also a huge relief not to have to worry while I was away. I definitely recommend her services!”

About: Ever since I was a little kid, I’ve always had an animal around the house. Whether it was my parents cats, my family dogs, or my grandparents fosters, there has always been an animal in my household! I love entertaining them and playing with them, and I do my best to make sure they feel loved and safe in their spaces! I am a college student who works as a substitute teacher, so weekends are the main time I can provide your pet with the best service possible! But, if you communicate ahead of time and are nearby, I’m sure we can figure out a time for me to drop in, or the chance of me staying overnight to care for your pet! As it is currently summer, and I am unfortunately without a summer job, I am available for all weekdays for the most part! So please contact me! When coming into your home, I want to make sure that I am the best guest possible. Not only do I want your pet to be comfortable with me in their space, but I want you to feel comfortable with me caring for them. Give me the ground rules, the entire run down, and I will put my best foot forward to show you I’m somebody you can trust.
“Dannielle was absolutely wonderful! She is super sweet and we were at ease while traveling knowing she was taking great care of our elderly cat. We appreciated the daily updates she sent. We will definitely be reaching out to her again to care for our cat. This was our first time using Rover as we needed to find someone to come by multiple times a day since our cat has had health issues since the last time we traveled. Everything went so smoothly, and we’re so happy we’ve found a reliable source of care for when we travel again! Thanks again Dannielle!”


About: Hi, I’m Cherish! I’ve been passionately pet sitting since 2019. While I took a brief break from Rover, I am so excited to be back doing what I love most: providing top-tier, reliable care for your fur babies. Over the years, I have specialized in advanced pet care. I am fully confident and experienced in administering medications, including both oral treatments and injections. I also have a deep tenderness and specialized experience caring for blind and deaf dogs, ensuring they feel safe, secure, and loved. Don't worry if your pup is on the younger side, though—I have plenty of stamina to keep up with high-energy puppies who need lots of playtime! In addition to dogs I have experience with single or multi-cat households as well as exotic pet care like birds, turtles, lizards, chinchillas, and fish Dog Room and Care Services for Your Furry Friend Your beloved pet deserves the best and I am excited to offer a dedicated dog room in my home that provides everything your pup needs for comfort, including crates, couches, and cots. I guarantee your furry friend will have plenty of playtime and potty breaks, alternating every 2 to 3 hours between indoor and outdoor activities. Please note that all new guests are required to have a meet and greet prior to booking their stay, and unfortunately, same-day bookings cannot be accommodated. My goal is to stick to your pet's schedule and ensure that every stay is a positive and enjoyable experience. I have a fenced in yard and dedicated dog room. For any pups who may not be adjusting to the pup room I do allow them in other areas of the house.

About: I've care for pets my whole life, I have hands-on experience feeding them, playing, walking them, providing companionship, and making sure they feel safe and confortable. While this will be my first experience as a pet caregiver, I'm responsible, patient, attentive, and genuinely love being around animals. I treat every pet with the same care and affection I would give my own. I am a musician and I currently work from home in my own projects so i have plenty of time to dedicate to my pets and my pet sitting. I take extra care in providinig my pets with a safe environment at home, I make sure they know this is their home and can feel at ease and happy. I undestand the importance of ensuring that pets feel confortable and safe.
“Samantha is an top notch Petsitter! She is kind, helpful and detail oriented. If you want peace of mind and quality care, then don't hesitate. Our family will be relying on her for our fur babies. I'm so glad to have found Samantha.”


About: I've had 4 dogs over my life: 2 Huskies and 2 English Bulldogs. I've had my first English Bulldog from puppyhood into his senior years and have lived with 2 young, active breed dogs. I have experience caring for dogs in all stages of life, and I am ready to take care of your friend! As a recent college graduate working part-time, I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am available Monday through Friday from 6 am to 8 am and 6 pm to 11 pm. I am also available on Saturdays and Sundays all day! I am adamant about following your dog's existing routine, no matter how loose or strict it is, to ensure your pet's comfort and happiness! I am comfortable walking dogs of all sizes and for as long as their activity level requires!

About: What sets me apart is the amount of hands-on experience I’ve had caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, personalities, and needs. For four years, I cared for a senior dog until she peacefully passed away, which taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of providing specialized care. I’ve also cared for newborn puppies, assisted during a dog’s labor and birth, and helped families raise young puppies who needed constant attention and routine. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs with a wide range of temperaments. Some have needed three walks a day and lots of playtime, while others preferred quiet companionship and their personal space. I’ve also worked with dogs that required extra patience due to anxiety, age, or unique behavioral needs. I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality so I can provide the care that’s best for them. I’m experienced with different feeding schedules and specialized diets, and I understand how important it is to stick to a pet’s normal routine. I believe consistent communication is just as important as great pet care, so I make sure owners receive regular updates, photos, and honest communication while they’re away. I previously provided dog boarding in my own home, but now that I have two dogs of my own, I primarily offer care in my clients’ homes. This allows your pet to stay comfortable in their familiar environment while receiving attentive, personalized care with minimal disruption to their routine. My goal is simple: to treat every dog as if they were my own and give pet parents complete peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in caring, experienced, and reliable hands. I currently work part-time and have lots of flexibility in my schedule and can fit petsitting and pet care very well in my schedule. I currently do not offer pet care in my home for the safety of your pet and mine, but I will ensure safety at all times taking care of your pet by following any instructions left and being aware of the environment and home I am providing the service in.
“Cassidy took great care of our two cats while we were gone for a long weekend! She checked in regularly and sent super cute photos of the cats during her check ins. Will definitely use her again!”

About: I am single woman traveling regularly. When I am not on the road I love having pets around and taking care of them and playing with them. I would like to sit at their own place more than having dogs at home but I will try that. I’m currently working three hours in the afternoons. I have plenty of time to take long walks with a dog or play inside with them. I am living in a fenced house at the moment with plenty of room for running in the backyard. I can also fit a couple of crates if needed.
“Kethely is absolutely amazing and our cats adored her while we were out of town. I am so thankful she was available as our oldest cat takes medication twice a day and we needed someone comfortable with this task. She sent so many photos and videos of the girls to us. We could tell they were happy and well cared for. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Bianca did a fantastic job sitting for my 2 cats! she always asked for clarification if she needed it, and was a great communicator. I got lots of pics of my fur babies while I was gone, I will definitely hire her again! :)”

About: I have over seven years of pet care experience! I unfortunately do not have a dog of my own, due to allergies in my home but I have always loved animals and I’ve always wanted a dog! Because of this, the time that I get to spend with for babies is extra special, and I love on them extra hard! I consistently babysat a golden doodle throughout four years of high school. I also frequently babysit my boyfriend’s 2 golden retrievers, my best friend’s frenchie, my cousin’s labradoodle, my uncle’s 2 puppies and now my brother’s puppy! I am able to work from home, and stay with your sweet pup(s) all day long! My schedule is flexible to mend to your pet’s needs. I look forward to being a helping hand and being a caregiver for your pets! I am unavailable on Tuesdays for walks/stop ins. But every other day of the week, I am able to come check in on your pet multiple times a day and do overnight stays. I prioritize walks and play time to keep your pet healthy and happy! I am also able to take your pet out for rides and nature trails, if that is okay with you! I have worked in childcare for about 10 years and have had many background checks and have worked with all age groups. I believe myself to be incredibly trustworthy and caring. I am completely understanding that it could be a daunting thing to leave your sweet fur babies with a stranger, but I can assure you that they are in great hands with me! I am always willing to set up a meeting beforehand so you can get to know me!

I currently have two sweet cats of my own! a 5-year-old cat and a 1-year-old Russian Blue — and I previously raised a Yorkie for 12 years and a Pit Bull mix for 6 years. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. From long walks and endless playtime to cuddle sessions, upset tummies, treat begging, and everything in between, I’ve experienced it all. My goal is to make sure your fur baby feels safe, loved, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether they need a walking buddy, a playmate, or simply someone to keep them company, I’m happy to help.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Avenel
Ellen was wonderful caring for my ten-year-old cat Taffy through drop-in visits while I was away. Taffy is ordinarily fearful of strangers, but took a liking to Ellen immediately. Ellen is also a pleasure to work with and I look forward to using her again in my future times away from home.
I’ve had a great experience with Taylor as my pet sitter! She is reliable and always takes great care of my cats. She sends plenty of updates and pictures, which gives me peace of mind while I’m away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.

Morgann has been absolutely amazing with our kittens! We could not recommend her more. She is punctual and trusting. She goes above and beyond with our cats. She sends updates and is always checking in, which has brought a lot of comfort. Our kittens genuinely look forward to her visits and they are visibly happy because of all that she does. She clearly loves animals and it shows in our cats! We left her with a huge list of instructions and sometimes with last minute things, but she has always handled everything with grace and such an accommodating spirit. She has been great and we will always choose to use her if she has the availability!

McKenna took care of our two cats while we were out of the country on vacation. She came over before our departure for a meet-and-greet and was very friendly. She took great care of the cats while we were away and kept us updated with pics and messages. We highly recommend McKenna if you need assistance with your pets.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
