“Lisa is the best! It was such a relief knowing our little guy was being taken care of while we were out of town. She kept us in the loop with great photos! She’s so sweet, and our dog LOVES her! We are very fortunate to have found her.”

“Rose was wonderful. She took care of Teddy so well. Her backyard is a fantastic playground for dogs. She kept in touch frequently, sent pictures and everything. When I arrived to pick Tedddy up he raced for her backdoor and not my car. I think that says it all”


About: I have taken care of dogs from very small to very large! I have a whole life time love and appreciate for pets! I have experience with shy and timid dogs and I can administer your pet medicine as needed. I currently own 2 dogs myself and one of them being a senior dog myself and I take pride in knowing how to care for all types of furry friends. Please reach out with any questions or inquiry and no matter the situation with your baby- im sure we will be able to become great friends! I understand the importance of making sure pets are cared for and loved while you are away. I love going for walks and giving treats. Nothing replaces an animals owner while they are gone but Im sure to provide them the comfort they need! Please reach out for references I currently work full time 730 to 430. I do have flexibility in my availability so please just reach out and Im sure we can make it work! My weekends are open and during the week Iam available to spend the night. As well as taking care of your pet I will also take in the mail and help tidy the house while you are away. Making sure your pet is safe is something I take pride in. While outside I will make sure your pup is going potty as well as keep an eye on them. I would love to take your furry friend outside and play catch or run around depending on your dogs preference.

“Danielle did a remarkable job sitting Basil over the holiday weekend. Basil was very well taken care of and was sad to leave when I came to pick him up. Danielle was also incredibly flexible; she allowed us to pick up Basil at a different date / time than we previously agreed upon. I couldn’t recommend Danielle enough :)!!”

About: I love all animals, even reptiles! When I was a teenager I worked at a kennel for a summer job and fell in love with every breed of dog. I’ve had dogs, cats, rabbits and small critters my entire life and even backyard chickens! My current pup is a senior boxer/Shepard mix. I am comfortable giving medication and caring for senior and special needs pets. I have a full time job so am available for pet care in the evenings and on weekends. I work local so if pet sitting at my house, I can check in at lunch time. I have a fenced in backyard and crates if needed. My senior dog is chill and is great with dogs and cats if caring for you pet in my home. For short stays, pets usually do best in their own home with visits from me up to three times a day depending on their needs.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats my whole life! Looking for some pets to take care of in the Monmouth County area. I am a college student at Monmouth University but I am looking to help out any fur babies in my free time. I finished up my 4th season of soccer with Monmouth University and now with my added free time I would like to help out anyone in need. I live in a welcoming home with a lot of girls who love all types of animals. I am willing to make any accommodations to make your pets feel safe!
“Rachel went above and beyond to accommodate both our schedule and our dog, June's well-being. She is clearly sensitive to the specific needs of dogs, and she ensured June had a playful adventure weekend. She kept us constantly informed with pictures!”

“Kat took amazing care of our Axel for the holiday weekend! She was super sweet, kind, accommodate us last minute, and actually cared to know his routine and what works for him. She kept me updated all throughout his stay! I felt safe knowing Axel was with her. 10/10, we’ll definitely be booking again!”

“Brian was so great to work with! He and his family were were amazing and gave us peace of mind to leave our boy Diego over the holiday. Brian wasn’t the closest sitter available but choosing him was the easiest decision we’ve made. We’ve used Rover for several years and for several different pets and I can assure you, your pets are in EXCELLENT hands here!! We are grateful to have found Brian and will absolutely use him again!”

“I can't recommend Victoria highly enough! From the very beginning, she was reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. It was clear that my dog was treated like family, and I received regular updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She went above and beyond to make sure my dog's routine was maintained and that all of their needs were met. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable to care for your pet, I would absolutely recommend Victoria. I'll definitely be booking with her again!”


About: Animal care in varying forms is what I do full time. I am available for boarding and sitting both weekdays and weekends, as you need. I have a large, warm home to offer to make your pet feel safe and at home. I can also fit right into your home, smoothly taking care of your pet in their own setting.
“Neli is great! We cannot recommend her enough! She took good care of our dog Toby and sent us regular updates, videos and photos. She communicated any concerns punctually which gave us peace of mind. Her house is super clean and she has a nice backyard with a small fence which was great for our little dog. Toby came home so happy and relaxed. We will definitely book her again.”

“We had such a great experience with Carly! Fig absolutely loved spending time with Willow- they became fast friends. It was such a comfort knowing Fig was in a warm, caring home with another sweet pup to play with. Highly recommend!”

About: Experienced pet sitter available for on call drop-ins, daily walks and overnight care on request. All sized dogs are welcome! I can provide feedings, walks, baths and medicine application. For cats, I can provide feedings, litter box cleaning, light grooming and medicine application. I also provide house sitting e.g. collecting mail and packages, light cleaning, plant care, etc if you are away. If your dog needs interaction with other pups, I am more than happy to take them to the local dog park or plan a play date with other dogs I walk for socialization. Let me know exactly what service you are looking for and I'd be more than happy to speak with you about it! Looking forward to hearing from you. Pet care is a top priority and I base my schedule around it. Morning, afternoon and evening walks are a priority along with a feeding schedule. If the client has fenced in yard, lots of playtime will happen back there. If they like to stay inside we can also play in there as well. The dogs can sleep wherever they feel most comfortable besides my bed. I do not crate unless requested to.

About: I grew up with 7 to 10 dogs in the house at any given time, so dogs have pretty much always been part of my life. Over the years I've cared for all kinds of personalities, from calm and cuddly to young and full of energy, and I've trained my own dogs too. I really enjoy just being around dogs. Walks, playtime, hanging out on the couch, all of it. I'm patient, I pay attention to the little things, and I want your dog to feel comfortable and happy while you're gone. I also know what it's like to have to leave your dog behind. My own dog is still back home in the Philippines, and I'm saving up to bring them here with me. So every walk and every stay with your pup gets me a little closer to having mine with me again. It means a lot, and I'll treat your dog the way I'd want someone to treat mine. I work a corporate Monday–Friday job, and my office is only about 5 minutes from my pet-friendly apartment, which makes it easy for me to provide care before and after work. I’m currently in the process of bringing my own dog over from the Philippines, and while I’m waiting for him to arrive, I’d love to spend that time caring for and enjoying other dogs. I’m available for boarding on weekends, with drop-off Friday evening and pick-up Sunday evening or Monday morning. My weekends are generally very open, so I can give your dog plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. I have a two-bedroom apartment with plenty of space, and I tailor activities to each dog’s routine, energy level, and activity history. Whether they prefer a relaxed walk, playtime at the park, or simply lounging at home, I’m happy to make them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I care for every pet based on their individual routine, personality, and needs. In my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel at home. I make sure they get regular walks, playtime, attention, and plenty of love throughout their stay. I also follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, bathroom breaks, and any specific routines your pet is used to. I understand that every dog is different, so I adjust their activities based on their energy level and activity history. Most importantly, I treat every dog as if they were my own and want them to feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.
“Cream Cheese had a wonderful time with Shelley and his new doggo buddies. He settled in and got comfortable quickly. I was impressed with the level of care and communication throughout his stay.”

Joe was terrific! This was a last minute booking with someone new and Joe made me feel so comfortable leaving Tony for 4 days at Joe and his wife's home. The home is so perfect for dog sitting and the neighborhood is perfect for all the walks Joe provided. I can't wait to drop off Tony again!

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Anouk! Finn is a 12-year-old senior who needs daily medication, so leaving him for a whole week made us nervous. Anouk put us completely at ease. She handled his medication without any trouble and sent us videos of Finn every single day, which meant so much while we were away. Finn loved spending time in the backyard and soaked up tons of loving attention from Anouk, her daughter, and Nugget. It really felt like he was part of the family for the week. We will absolutely be booking with Anouk again. Highly recommend her, especially for older dogs who need a little extra care!

This was my second time using Meredith and she’s worth every penny! I’ve taken my dog Zeke to 10+ different people over the years and multiple moves and she’s been BY FAR the best we’ve ever used. Meredith sends pictures, consistent updates, and gets your dog a ton of exercise. If that’s not enough, she gives you a picture of your dog at the end with a note about their experience for the time period with her. I would use Meredith again and again!

Samantha watched my mom’s two dogs for a week, right after one of them was spayed and had a small lesion on her neck from having a bump removed. getting them back, they seem so happy, comfortable, and clearly very well taken care of! this was something we were really worried about since no one has ever watched them before, so we were so happy to receive nothing but great feedback and to see how comfortable they were when we got them back. thank you so much, Samantha! if you’re looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, i definitely recommend her!! 🫶

Jonathan is the absolute best. I had an unplanned trip to Mexico last minute I was able to book last minute. I received updates Throughout the day. Kingston came back smelling great super happy and full. Typically my baby boy gets very bad separation anxiety and will stop eating. Jonathan made sure his anxiety was controlled. He was happy and a I couldn’t be any happier with his service. Thank you so much !!!!!

How lucky we are to have found Tokar to watch our Charli girl!! Tokar is warm and loving even welcoming Charli with her very own welcome sign on the porch when we arrived. We received picture updates and just knew Charli was having a great time. We look forward to seeing Tokar again!!!

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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Meet & Greet.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NJ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
