About: Everyone says I am a natural with animals. I have not met a pet that didn’t melt my heart . Every interaction with an animal is one of a kind and special in its own way. Dogs truly leave imprints in your heart they are family. I believe every dog is deserving of love , cuddles and lots of patience. Repetition and Redirecting with positive reinforcement are the keys to a well behaved pup. I will offer only what is best for your furry friend. Be assured that they will be in great loving hands with me and my family. When booked for day care or boarding. I would be following a schedule with your pet. We will have a fun day filled with routines, exercise and play time for cognitive stimulation My biggest goal is to make your pet feel safe and comfortable. They will always be kept separate from other pets I have at all times. Unless you request your pup to socialize. I will offer your pup a schedule that is fitting for them.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Elizabeth is a great Pet walker and sitter. She has walked Toby every day for the past week, she is always on time to pick him up and he is always ready and happy to see her. After his walk he goes peacefully to sleep for a few hours so he is definitely getting exercise during the walk. She is flexible with the schedule and is open to changes. We will definitely use her services again. Thank you!”

About: I grew up with animals all my life and would love to walk or visit with your fur babies when you need it! I work for an Emergency Veterinary Hospital and am very passionate about helping and caring for animals ❤️ I currently work full time at a Veterinary ER hospital but do work different hours and can usually work around my schedule! Just ask me what you are looking for :) I have the compassion, experience, and love for all animals that I won’t just take care of your pet, I will love them like they’re my own and provide the most positive experience not only for them but for you too. I am very active so I love going for walks or playing fetch, and I also love providing enrichment for your pet to keep them happy.

My dog is a quiet shy guy, he free roams in the house is walked regularly and fed on time, I’ve mostly done check ins at the clients home, never had any issue following their routine with feeding or walking.

About: I have my own dog and have been caring for her since she was eight weeks old. She is now eight years old. So I know the ins and outs of dogs. They all have different personalities, routines, temperaments, you name it. I've watched other people's dogs, and the dogs love me because of my calm demeanor. I deliver the greatest quality of care! I am currently working full-time during the week, but I am available in the afternoons and on weekends to watch your pup. Please let me know! I go by my clients' needs for their dogs; if they need to be fed, walked, or even if they want me to spend a couple of hours with them, I will!

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love caring for them. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable with feeding, administering basic medications, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and sticking to your pet’s normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I believe every pet deserves to be treated like family, so you can expect plenty of love, affection, and personalized care while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, reliable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I wake up every morning at 6:00 AM, which allows me to provide early morning potty breaks, feedings, walks, or check-ins without rushing. Since I’m not currently working outside the home, I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate my time and attention to caring for pets throughout the day. Whether your pet needs multiple visits, long walks, playtime, medication, or simply companionship, I’m available to give them the love, care, and consistency they deserve while you’re away. When your pet stays in my home, they’ll be treated like part of the family. I have a friendly, spayed female dog who gets along well with other dogs, and your pet will have plenty of opportunities for supervised play and companionship if they’re comfortable with other animals. My apartment community also has a large grassy area that’s perfect for walks, potty breaks, and exercise throughout the day. I’ll follow your pet’s usual feeding schedule, provide fresh water, plenty of playtime, cuddles, and a safe, clean environment to help them feel comfortable and at home. My goal is to make their stay as stress-free, fun, and loving as possible while you’re away.

About: I will provide the best care possible for your dog. I grew up with so many pets so I understand the responsibility that comes with caring for another person's. As I have a dog of my own, I would treat the job as I would take care of my own, whether that's taking your dogs for a nice walk around the neighborhood or snuggling up on the couch and keeping them company and cared for while you're away, I'm the girl for it! My schedule is very flexible, so I am readily available to dog walk or to house sit if needed. I'll do my best to ensure you are happy and satisfied with who is taking care of your dog and you won't be disappointed! I work full-time, however in the summer I am extremely flexible and can be available whenever I am needed. Let me know if you would like someone to care for your pet and we can work out a schedule that works best! I make sure to give my pets lots of attention and love the same as I would do for your pets as well as follow the instructions I’d be given.

About: Growing up, I have always looked after dogs of close friends and family, and have studied nutrition and health, which led me to work at a pet hotel for about a year with almost every dog breed. My responsibilities included prepping food, cleaning, 1 on 1 play, and group play. I have been in charge of up to 20 dogs at 1 time. I also co-own a dog named Luna. The other owner and I had Luna since she was a puppy and she is now 5 years old. I teach obedience/behavior training to many dogs and I develop trust with dogs that is unique to my experience with various breeds. It takes patience and consistency to be a great leader for dogs and I wear my heart on my sleeve for every dog I'm caring for; communication with your dog is key. I currently work with dogs full time and make Dog care apart of my every day routine, if I'm not with my dog I'm working with other dogs. I have a good size open backyard and toys depending on the play style of your dog; crate training is much appreciated if they are familiar. Walks are frequent, especially for high energy dogs

About: I’ve taken care of my own pets since I was 6, so I know how to take care of different pets no matter what kinda of pet is. I just love animals! , so I don’t mind taking care of them. :> I am currently working part-time in a university dining hall in the afternoons , where I work every other weekend. I have classes in the mornings; however, I am fully available during school breaks, and my sister and parents help me taking care of the pet when I’m not at home.(My schedule might change when classes start) I have a younger sister of 11 years friendly and loves pets. I don’t have my own yard but outside my house there’s a nice space for pets where they can run, walk safe. It’s like a nice big green yard basically.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Carteret. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Carteret after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every walker 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 .

  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
