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.

I’m also very responsive! I work from my phone frequently, so I’m just a call or text away. I know how important it is to get updates and feel connected to your pet while you’re away, and I’ll always send photos and vdos of your fur babies. I work part-time and live only about 10 minutes from work, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m able to spend plenty of time with your cat. 📱 I’m also very responsive! I work from my phone frequently, so I’m just a call or text away. I know how important it is to get updates and feel connected to your pet while you’re away, and I’ll always do my best to respond quickly. 🏡 When your cat stays with me: To keep every cat in my home safe, healthy, and comfortable, I have a few requirements for all boarding stays. 💉 Vaccination Records Before a booking is confirmed, I require current veterinary records showing: * Rabies vaccination * FVRCP vaccination Your cat will have their own private room with a window, giving them a quiet, peaceful space to relax and decompress without feeling overwhelmed. I want their stay to feel safe, comfortable, and as close to home as possible. For the health and safety of every cat in my care, the boarding area will be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized after every stay.
“Jada was amazing. She was super communicative and great with our cats, even when they had some hairballs and litter box challenges. We were so impressed when she told us our cats came out for pets because they’re so people shy! They really warmed up to her. It was so relaxing to go on vacation knowing our cats were in great hands.”

About: i’ve been an animal lover since I was a little girl. I had 6 dogs in my home back in California. I’ve raised my pug for 10 years now and love her to death. I’m great sitter that animals get along very well with me. I’m a college student so there will be days that I have to go to school for exams. However I have a flexible schedule. Any pet is welcomed I have a full living room and a backyard where they can feel comfortable staying. My neighborhood is safe and chill.
“Joanne was great with my kitties. She took care of them for a week. Excellent communication and kind with my cats. I highly recommend her and would definitely book her again! Thank you Joanne for being amazing!💕”
“Deb has been walking our dog Creasy for a few months now. She's reliable, flexible, and a great communicator. She's exactly what you want in a dog walker/sitter. We couldn't be happier. Thanks Deb!!!”
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.
“Kethely was amazing. She has a very sweet demeanor and knows a lot about cats. My cats took to her very quickly. I got nervous that they might like her more than me. Haha. But seriously everything was smooth and she did bove and beyond. I will definitely hire her again.”
About: Hey Hey! I’m Kayla <3, a mommy-to-be with a huge heart for animals and a genuine love for caring for pets of all kinds! I’m an energetic, dependable, and loving pet caregiver with years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. 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.

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. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I always treat every animal as if they were my own. I would absolutely love the opportunity to care for your fur baby!

About: Hi, I’m Bee, and I’ve helped take care of dogs and cats for around 6 years. I don’t have any pets of my own (yet!), but I have assisted friends with dogsitting and also Rover-ing! I’ve also fostered cats, and that has given me an edge in knowing how to make an animal comfortable quickly, especially in a new environment. I also have experience in giving powder, pill, and eyedrop medication. I believe that in order to give your pet the best care, we should work together and be on the same page about your pet’s needs, habits, and anything else you’d like to share! I also love taking photos of them and sending them to update you on how they’re doing. If this all sounds great, send me a message! I work fully remote, so I have time to take your dog(s) on walks generally before 8:30 AM, sometime in the afternoon, and after work at 6 PM. We can work out an appropriate schedule that most closely mimics their usual routine! Within my community, we have a dog park, so depending on how comfortable you are with allowing your dog(s) to socialize with others while you are away, I can take them there or map a new route to avoid the dog park if needed. Around the community we have some good routes for walking as well as a pond in case your pup wants to explore and smell! In my home, we avoid any strong scents, plants, chemicals and cleaning products that could pose harm to animals. Trash is secured in a cabinet.
“Kim was great with our cats. Kim even got our timid cat to come out to be pet. She was always on time and sent cute pictures too. Highly recommend Kim, she was great with our last-minute booking as well.”
“Bianca was a wonderful pet sitter for our cats! They even came out and hung out with her! They are usually reserved with new people, but she has a calm and kind demeanor. Highly recommended to care for your fur babies!”

About: I previously worked as a veterinary technician, which gave me hands on experience caring for animals of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’m very comfortable handling both healthy pets and those that need extra attention or senior care. I’ve also had pets my entire life, so caring for animals is second nature to me. I’m patient, attentive, and able to quickly understand each pet’s unique needs, whether that’s exercise, medication support, or simply making them feel safe and comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I have three cats and a pitbull at home. I’m flexible and already plan my days around feeding, cleaning, and care. I enjoy making time for walks, visits, and keeping pets comfortable and on schedule. In my home, I care for pets by maintaining a clean, safe, and calm environment, following feeding schedules, and giving consistent attention and affection. I have experience with cats and a pitbull, so I understand different temperaments and energy levels. In a client’s home, I respect their routines, follow all instructions closely, and make sure pets feel comfortable, secure, and cared for while their owners are away.

With flexible availability during the week and weekends, I’m here to make sure your pets are safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I make sure every walk is secure, every visit is calm, and every animal feels loved and cared for. With experience in a veterinary clinic and as a dog mom myself, I know how to create a safe and happy environment for every pet I meet.
About: I’ve loved animals from a young age, caring for my neighbors’ dogs growing up and having a dog and cats of my own at different points in my life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and providing them with love, attention, walks, playtime, and care. Mondays and Fridays are my best weekday availability, but I can also make other weekdays work depending on the timing and your pet’s needs. I’m also available on weekends with advance notice. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, respect their routines and boundaries, and provide plenty of attention. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Carteret
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.

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.

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 .
