About: Hello! My name is Cookie, and I have a genuine love for animals of all kinds. As a pet parent myself to a 9-year-old Yorkie Poo and a 3-month-old kitten, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I have spent much of my life caring for dogs and cats and have experience pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors while they were away on vacation. Through these experiences, I have cared for pets with a variety of personalities, energy levels, and needs. What sets me apart is the time, attention, and affection I can provide. As a newly retired individual, I have a flexible schedule and can devote plenty of one-on-one care to your pets. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I am happy to accommodate their routine. My home features a secure fenced yard with plenty of room for dogs to safely explore and play. I strive to create a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment where pets feel loved and cared for while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and look forward to giving your fur babies the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. As a newly retired individual, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I am available every day beginning at 7:30 a.m., which gives me plenty of flexibility to accommodate your pet's schedule and needs. Because I am retired, I can provide consistent attention, companionship, exercise, feeding, and potty breaks throughout the day rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I have the time and availability to ensure your fur babies receive the love, attention, and care they deserve while you're away. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where pets are treated like family. In my home, pets are welcome on the furniture and are free to relax wherever they feel most comfortable. Dogs are taken for walks approximately every two hours and have access to my securely fenced backyard for supervised outdoor play and fresh air throughout the day. I follow each pet owner's feeding schedule and care instructions to ensure their routine stays consistent while they're away. In addition to meeting their basic needs, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and cuddles. As a newly retired pet lover, I have the time to provide personalized care and companionship, helping your pets feel happy, safe, and right at home. If caring for pets in a client's home, I will follow their established routines and provide the same level of attention, affection, and care to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment.
About: Pet Care Experience I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors who need a little extra love and patience. I’ve helped with walks, feeding, giving meds, and of course plenty of belly rubs and cuddle time. I treat every dog like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. What Sets Me Apart I really take the time to get to know each dog’s personality and quirks. Whether it’s helping a puppy learn good habits, supporting an older dog who moves at a slower pace, or sticking to a routine to keep your pup comfortable, I always adjust to what your dog needs. I also pay close attention to little details—like favorite toys, treats, or special instructions—so you can feel at ease knowing your best friend is in caring hands. Since I work from home, I have plenty of flexibility to give your dog the attention they deserve throughout the day. I can easily step away for walks, playtime, or check-ins, and I love having the company of dogs while I work. Whether it’s sticking to a set feeding and potty schedule or adding in some extra cuddle breaks, I’m able to keep your pup’s routine consistent and stress-free. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my care, I make sure they’re in a secure and pet-friendly environment—free of hazards, with plenty of space to relax and play. I always follow your instructions closely, whether it’s diet, medication, or special routines, so your pup feels right at home. When caring for dogs in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect as I would my own. I keep doors locked, routines consistent, and make sure your dog feels safe and loved until you return. Building trust is important to me, so I provide updates, photos, and quick check-ins to give you peace of mind while you’re away.
About: Hi! I've been fostering dogs from a local shelter for a little over 2 years. In that time, I've helped about 20 dogs find their forever families. There's been dogs in our home ranging in age from 9 months to 9 years, all with a different story. Abused, neglected, owner surrender, stray, court case holds, seniors, puppies, overweight, super skinny and anything else you can think of! I treated them all with empathy and showered them affection to earn their trust and love. Many of my former fosters come for visits while their owners are on vacation. Any pup that comes through my doors will be cared for and treated with respect, just like my fosters! I work at a school, so I'm currently on summer break. When school is in session, I work Monday to Friday 9-1, and I'm off evenings, weekends and holidays. I also work in the town in which I reside, so my commute is less than 5 minutes, meaning I'm close by! I have a fully fenced in yard, crates and dog beds in various sizes, bowls, blankets and mounds of toys. I'm also comfortable administering medication if needed.
“Shanee was a wonderful host. My Theo did not want to leave her house by the time I came to pick him up. It was so nice feeling relieved; knowing that my dog's having a good time with a good caring family while i was at work. I highly recommend! Thank you so much, Shanee & the family. I shall be back for sure.”
About: Long day of work or play? Don't let your dog get lonely, cooped up, or risk having an accident! Let them stretch their legs for a while with someone who is passionate about animal welfare. I am well-versed in both senior dogs and puppies, dogs with allergies and special needs, and leash training. Please me know if you are working on special commands, if your dog has any allergies or is on medications. Feel free to negotiate longer visits. About this sitter: Jordi is a big-time animal lover. From her family dogs to her pet hedgehog Wesley, she loves spending as much time as possible around animals as well as learning about exotic ones. She is an active volunteer at local shelters, creating enrichment activities and taking dogs for long walks. I'm currently unemployed in this disaster of a job market. While seeking full-time employment I am home 100% or at the local animal shelter volunteering. Whether it's couch cuddling, playing tug or fetch, games to give them mental stimulation, long walks, or socializing with other dogs, I am happy to follow your requests based on your dog's individual needs and preferences.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Blackwood commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy.
