About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and reliable pet caregiver with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Before fostering cats, I fostered dogs and I even had two “foster fails!” My two sweet pitties stole my heart and became permanent members of my family. Over the years, I’ve fostered numerous cats and kittens, including seniors, shy cats, and young babies. Fostering has taught me that every pet is unique, and I love taking the time to build trust, help them feel safe, and provide care that fits their individual personality and needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion while you’re away, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and patience. I’m also comfortable giving basic medications when needed, but my greatest strength is creating a safe, comfortable environment where pets can relax and be themselves. My professional background has strengthened my patience, reliability, and attention to detail, and I bring those qualities to every visit. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’ll always treat them like they’re part of my own family. You can also count on regular photo and video updates, so you’ll always know your furry baby is happy and well cared for! I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I currently work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m able to provide dependable, attentive care while keeping your pet’s schedule consistent. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to learn their routine, respect their personality, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. Whether in my home or yours, I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, fresh food and water, and lots of love. I also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they know their furry family member is happy and well cared for.

“Shannon was great! Punctual, communicative, and incredibly attentive, she exceeded my expectations. Punctuality was a highlight—every visit was on time. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and adorable pictures during each visit, showcasing genuine care. What I loved most was how she followed my instructions to a T. Professional and dedicated, she ensured every detail was followed. She's also a genuinely nice person. Polite, friendly, and you can tell she's got a soft spot for animals. My dog absolutely loved her.”

About: As long as I can remember I’ve always loved animals. I’ve always been the first to volunteer to watch family members pets, I myself have a dog named Romeo who I got when I was 4 . He is now and 14 and experiences seizures from time to time so I do have experience with senior dogs and how to care for them. I’m currently a college student majoring in Liberal Arts at Raritan Valley Community College. Pet care fits into my daily routine because it allows a flexible schedule that will not interfere with my classes, aswell as me being able to study and do homework while watching your furry friends. I’m a homebody so you can trust I will be home with your pet the entire time snuggling and playing with them. I also have dogs so I’m familiar with how to crate them, how much they need to go outside, signs of distress, etc. My dog also experiences seizures and takes medication so if your dog has to take medications or has health problems I’m already familiar that.

As a last-minute first time visit, Amy was so easy to work with. We were able to communicate easily, and I felt so comfortable having her take care of Gino because she was communicating so well with me and this is without having a meet and greet prior. Great first experience!

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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
