“Kerri went above and beyond to accommodate our 2 cats! She was able to handle some last minute changes and chaotic cat situations that came up while we were away. She also was able to befriend our very shy cat and give him his diabetic medicine. Can’t recommend her enough, she is great!”
About: I’ve had a dogs in my family my whole life, and love dogs of all breeds. I help Family, friends neighbors care for their dogs when they aren’t home. I walk my own golden retriever 2-3 times a day down to the Brielle park and back plus we have a fully fenced in back yard. We also love to head to the dog park occasionally for some socializing. I have a flexible work schedule and am available to care for my dog and yours all day, everyday with morning and afternoon walks and many chances to go out in the backyard to play. We live down the street from the park, have a fully fenced yard, an9 year old golden retriever who loves all dogs and is very very chill. My husband and I have 3 daughters, 1 in college and 1 In high school and 1 in middle school and they love dogs and have been around dogs since They were born.
About: I bring a lifetime of experience caring for dogs, from raising and training puppies to caring for senior dogs. As a semi-retired healthcare professional, I’m responsible, observant, and attentive to details. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, and I’ll treat your pet with the same care, patience, and attention I would want for my own. I recently found myself unexpectedly semi-retired and looking to stay active while doing something I truly love... spending time with dogs! This year, I lost my beloved Bernese Mountain Dog and am missing having a dog in my life. I’ve raised and trained dogs from puppyhood, including a Border Collie (if you know, you know!) and my Bernese, as well as cared for many other dogs over the years. I’ve also boarded friends’ dogs and provided drop-in care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pet because I’ve relied on great dog sitters myself, who treated my dogs as part of their family. I’d love the opportunity to give your dog the same love, attention, and care I would want for my own. My priority is always the safety, comfort, and well-being of your pet. I’ll follow your instructions and routines carefully, including feeding schedules, medications if applicable, leash requirements, and any crating or other guidelines you provide. During walks, I’ll stay alert to our surroundings and be aware of other dogs, people, traffic, and anything else that could affect your pet’s safety. Most importantly, when I’m caring for your pet, I’ll be present and engaged, not distracted by my phone. I want your dog to get my full attention, whether we’re out for a walk or spending time together during a drop-in visit.
“Gillian was a lifesaver for me and my girls as I had to go away for about two weeks. She provided daily updates, pictures, and made sure the girls were well taken care of! I 100% recommend her and will reach out to her again if I need another sitter!”
“Adrianna went above and beyond my expectations! Ruby and Pearl are so well adjusted I’m not sure they missed me. Adrianna did everything I asked in caring for the girls food, water, attention, litter box and my home is clean as the day I left! She updated me daily while I was away so I could see how happy Ruby and Pearl were while I was on vacation. This means a lot so I was able to relax. I would highly recommend Adrianna!”
“Nevaeh was an absolute pleasure to meet, and have watch my two babies. She was on time, had amazing communication, and took great pictures during her visits. Both of my dogs warmed up to her very quickly, and to me that says it all. Highly recommend booking her, and we will definitely be using her for future needs.”
About: Hi I'm Andrea! I have taken care of dogs since I was 10. In our home we were never without a dog, they were the best additions to our family ❤️ I have been a fur mom for the past 15 years. First, to my beloved Bella Marie, a shiipoo, who sadly passed away 3 years ago and currently to Stella Grace, my 85 lb bullypit. In my house, dogs come first!

About: Teaching special needs takes special care and attention for students and animals, dogs are humans to me. I'm experienced with therapy dogs as well. I have the utmost patience! I have the house to provide care and attention for all dogs, along with the time. My two sons are young teens who love dogs, cats, and animals too! I love to be active indoors and outdoors, especially since I have a big fenced in yard that provides much play space for any dog.
“Amanda was amazing with our dogs, Milo and Lady. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. You can tell she truly cares about animals and treats them like her own. Both dogs can be a bit of a handful, but Amanda handled everything with patience and ease. When we got home, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. She’s reliable, attentive, and goes above and beyond. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pets, but Amanda exceeded every expectation. We’d absolutely have her watch them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter.”
About: Hi! My name is Audrey. I have experience caring for pets through personal and informal care, including feeding, walking, and providing companionship for dogs and cats. I’m very comfortable with drop-in visits and understand how important it is to maintain a pet’s routine while their owner is away. I can administer medication if necessary. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always follow care instructions closely. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for, and I provide clear updates and photos after each visit. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious pets and aim to create a calm, reassuring presence. I’m dependable, communicative, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Caring for pets fits easily into my weekly routine, and I genuinely enjoy making time for drop-in visits and walks. I keep a flexible schedule so I can be available when pets need care, and I always do my best to be consistent, punctual, and attentive. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel safest and most comfortable. I focus on keeping their routine consistent and stress-free during drop-in visits. I carefully follow all instructions for feeding, walks, litter box care, and medications if needed. I always pay attention to safety, making sure doors are closed and pets are secure before leaving. I also spend time giving pets affection and calm companionship so they feel cared for while their owner is away. I send updates and photos after each visit for peace of mind 💛

About: I've been a dog owner almost all of my life - a mini dachshund as a girl and two cavapoos as an adult.

It's important your pup feels comfortable with us! We allow our Seamus on the couches and will adhere to whatever rules you're most comfortable with.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bay Head
Emily is the absolute best! We continue to rebook her to take care of our 2 dogs. By now she has built a beautiful relationship with our boys. She goes above and beyond to make sure they eat and that they are in good spirits when we have to go away. Our boys are very attached to us and they get so sad when we have to leave them. Emily is so caring and attentive with them. This last time when we returned from our trip the boys looked so happy and healthy. That was all thanks to the wonderful care and attention Emily gives them. I love getting the updates from her, each update comes in on time with pictures and videos. It eases my mind and heart that my babies are being cared for by such a wonderful person. She’s a star! We are so lucky to have found her. ✨🤩✨

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.

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 .
