About: Hi, I’m Isabella and I’m passionate about providing safe, loving, and reliable care! Your pet’s comfort and well-being are always my top priority, as my experience with a variety of species supports my desire to provide. I currently work at a veterinary hospital, caring for pets of all ages (from babies to seniors) so I’m comfortable handling a wide range of needs. My experience goes beyond work also as I’ve had a variety of pets throughout my life! I’m currently finishing up some summer college credits, which gives me great flexibility for early morning and mid-to-late day check-ins after class. My schedule is consistent week-to-week, so you can count on reliable timing and routine for your pet! I tailor my care to each pet’s routine to keep them as comfortable and stress-free as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely and prioritize any preferences your pet is used to. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you feel confident your pet is in good hands!
About: I have done house sitting with dogs. In the past I had cats and dogs as pets. I have also done jobs such as camp counselor, swim instructor, healthcare worker, babysitting. I look forward to meeting some new dogs this spring and summer. I am usually available weekends. I may have availability some weekdays as well. I will be able to come to your home and visit your pets while you are busy. I am a reliable and easygoing sitter. I am able to let you know about the time I spend with your pet. I can walk your dog and give it water.
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’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.
About: Hi! I’m Jackie, a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for dogs, cats, and senior pets. I grew up with dogs and have always been comfortable around them, their energy, and their routines. As an adult, I’m a proud cat mom, which has given me a deep appreciation for feline personalities, boundaries, and the quieter kind of companionship. I understand that pets aren’t just animals—they’re family, and trusting someone with them is a big deal. I’m patient, attentive, and very detail-oriented when it comes to routines, feeding instructions, medications, and comfort needs. I work from home, which allows me to be present, responsive, and flexible with schedules. I especially enjoy providing calm, reassuring care for pets who may be shy, anxious, older, or just prefer a quieter environment. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, or simply having someone nearby for comfort and companionship, my goal is always to help them feel safe, loved, and relaxed while giving you peace of mind when you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I work part time and have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to be present, responsive, and attentive to pets throughout the day. I care for pets by closely following their established routines so they feel safe and comfortable in a familiar environment. I take time to understand each pet’s feeding schedule, walking needs, litter or potty routines, medications, and any special instructions provided by their owner. In a client’s home, I’m respectful, clean, and attentive, making sure pets receive plenty of companionship, enrichment, and reassurance while maintaining their normal daily rhythm. I prioritize calm, positive interactions and never rush care. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a quiet, low-stress environment with close supervision, lots of attention, and regular updates to owners. I’m especially mindful of safety, comfort, and cleanliness. I communicate regularly with photos and updates so owners feel confident and connected while they’re away, and I always adjust my care style based on each pet’s personality, energy level, and needs.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and am a huge dog lover. As I have yet to get a pup of my own, I’ve been sitting for family, friends, and family friends for more than 5 years, where I mainly housesit. I’ve had experience watching dogs of all ages, from grumpy seniors with medication to lively puppies who need extra clean up time, to anxious Covid babies. I am very detail-oriented as I respect that each dog has their personal routine and want to ensure that not much is disrupted for them when I visit/stay. I understand the importance of keeping in contact with owners (only to the extent that you wish to be contacted) throughout the day. I guarantee that I will take plenty of photos of your pet and will be happy to share them! Note: I am based in LES, NYC for the summer. I work fully remotely, so I'm flexible to working with your pet's schedule when housesitting. I'm available for afternoon walks, or to come to housesit from the evenings usually. I'm also willing to travel to housesit (I've travelled to DC before!), though this would require travel coverage as part of compensation. ***For house sits of 1 week or longer, I ask owners to support in covering my meals. Gift cards or a stocked fridge are very much appreciated! *** I tend to ask clients for a document with their pet's daily routine, and how their behaviours are. I will care for your pets as you would advise to care for them in order to maintain consistency and not confuse them. Afterall, I am the guest in staying in their space should I be housesitting. For walks and drop-ins, I would like to also respect your pet's routine and ensure that they are comfortable and at ease.
About: I have over 7 years of experience working with and caring for multiple breeds of dogs, from volunteering at a rescue to working at the MCSPCA. I am currently working part time, as well as volunteering at a rescue weekly. I would love for my days off to be spent caring for animals. I am always very careful when caring for any pet. Especially in a clients home, making sure doors are always closed so a pet cannot get out. If in a yard, checking any gates and keeping an eye on the pet at all times. With years of experience in animal shelters, I am very familiar with canine body language as well as handling.
“Tara continues to be an amazing sitter! She provides thorough updates with great pictures and communicated with ease if she encounters anything she thinks I should know. Cannot recommend enough!”

About: As a lifelong pet owner with years of hands-on experience, I know how much your furry family members mean to you. I specialize in creating a calm, loving environment, especially for dogs and cats who get a little nervous or anxious. Whether it's a leisurely walk or a cozy day of companionship, your pet will feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I treat every animal like my own, because that's the only way I know how I currently do not work and I would like to use this time to bond with pets and make lasting connections. I enjoy this type of activity and should be open most days of the week. I am meticulous and always follow all directions. I have gotten some pretty thorough briefings on pets before and then glowing reviews afterward. Pets feel safe and comfortable with me and I’m happy to provide extra reassurances to the pet parents as well.

About: I've taken care of puppies and adult dogs of my friends and family for over 8 years and counting. I love training, walking/hiking, and taking my dog to the dog park. I currently work from home full time so I am able to provide daily walks to your fur baby. I also have a very friendly and social ShihPoo that loves any furry friend that comes to stay overnight or spend the day with us. I have a large apartment, in a multifamily house I share with my mother, with access to a fenced in backyard. I make it a priority to walk my dogs and either take them to the park or trail to give them a change of scenery (weather permitting). On very cold, rainy, or snowy days I make sure to give my dogs activites and attention. I will crate, if asked, but usually when I petsit I let the furbabies free roam. I work from home full time so I am able to spend the whole day with your pup and tend to their needs (walking, potty, playing, feeding etc.) In my home, I have a roam free environment however if a dog requires separation or crating I have a second bedroom. I also have a fenced yard for quick potty time.
About: I have experience dog sitting, walking, and playing with dogs of multiple breeds through caring for my neighbors, friends, and family members dogs. I also have three dogs of my own, and they are truly my world! Being a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family.

“My first time ever using Rover and I feel I am spoiled with Hadija! She is magnificent at communicating and takes extra care of my one dog with severe anxiety. I can say enough about her.”

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lovers with a deep passion of caring for pets of all kinds. Growing up surrounded by cats, dogs, and plenty of other furry (and not-so-furry) friends taught me how much love and care they deserve. My top priority is always making sure your pets are happy, healthy, and feeling loved. From feeding routines and walks to cuddle time (or just calm company for the more independent types), I make sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for according to their unique personality. I love keeping pets engaged with fun, stimulating activities. For cats, that might mean interactive toys, puzzle feeders, or laser play. For dogs, it’s usually games of fetch, tug-of-war, or a good old-fashioned frisbee toss. Even reptiles get the same thoughtful attention (maybe less cuddling, but plenty of care and respect!). Every pet deserves the best care possible, and that’s what I promise to provide. Whether you’re going away for a day or a week, I will treat your furry family member as if they were our own. I’d love to meet your pets and help you feel at ease while you’re away!
About: I've been walking dogs since I was 15 years old, when I built my own client base doing walks and drop-in visits for families while they were away. That early experience taught me how to read a dog's personality fast and earn their trust from day one. Since then, I worked as a receptionist at a veterinary clinic, where I learned a lot about dogs' medical needs — from spotting early signs something's off to understanding how to safely support pets with health conditions. I'm excited to get back to hands-on care and bring both my years of walking experience and my vet clinic knowledge to your pup. I'm off consistently on Tuesdays and Saturdays, so I have full flexibility those days for walks, drop-ins, or sitting. On the days I do work, my schedule can vary, but I'm reliably free by 5 pm at the latest — often earlier. I get my work schedule 3 weeks in advance, so I can confirm exact availability early and plan around recurring bookings easily. I keep a calm, consistent routine so pets feel comfortable whether we're in my home or theirs — sticking to their regular feeding times, bathroom breaks, and playtime. I'm comfortable administering basic medications, having done so for my own dog in the past, and my vet clinic background means I know how to recognize signs of illness or distress and when something needs extra attention. I'm also good at reading individual personalities and take extra care with shy or nervous dogs, since my own dog was the same way — I know how to build trust at their pace. Your pet's safety and comfort always come first.
About: I have had dogs all my life. I'm retired and the best way to spend my time is with dogs. I also have experience grooming dogs: wired-haired breeds are my specialty - I do stripping). I'm pretty much available any day / time. Afternoons and nights are best, but don't worry, I have your dog covered based on your needs. My current dog is an English Bull Terrier (Spuds MacKenzie or the Target dog). I have a fenced yard and but also take her (Daisy) on short/long walks daily. I can likewise walk / play with you dog as you wish. I have also taken/passed the NJ Animal Control Officer course/exam.

“I had a wonderful experience with Alex! She was extremely communicative, reliable, and attentive to Brooklyn’s needs during her check-in visits. She followed all the care instructions I provided and made sure Brooklyn received the attention and care needed. Her thoughtfulness, attention to detail, and consistent communication gave me such peace of mind knowing Brooklyn was in great hands. It’s clear that Alex genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I truly appreciate the excellent care she provided and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”

Ella was amazing with my pup! Ella does check in’s for me while I’m at work and my dog is not the easiest to handle sometimes. She is scared of everything and does not cooperate with new people without me around but Ella was so patient and got my dog to love and trust her quickly! By the third day my dog was running around the yard with her and eating all her food. When I go to the office I know my dog is in good hands and I don’t have to worry. Ella is a great dog sitter and truly cares for the dogs she is watching.

Brittany was amazing from the start. After our meet and greet and how receptive my dogs were with her I knew she was a good fit. Throughout our trip she was in touch and super detailed about the dogs, their activities, and feeding schedule. All the photos she sent, my dogs looked super happy and content. Definitely took a big burden off of our shoulder. She also went above and beyond making sure they had no accidents and left my home in good shape. Highly recommend and will definitely book her again for future trips

We are so happy to have found Allison. This is our second year having her during our family vacation. We have a 13 y/o dog and of course it’s always nerve wracking leaving him, but I know he’s in good hands with Allison. She is so patient with him and writes the best summaries of their time together. A few times she came and he was asleep, or wouldn’t eat, and she was able to adjust and still get him fed, walked and loved on each visit. Highly recommend!

We couldn’t be more grateful for Lisa! She is kind, reliable, caring, and truly treats our dog like her own. We appreciate all of her help more than words can say and feel so lucky to have found someone we trust completely. Thank you for everything you do!

Maria is outstanding and truly goes above and beyond. She is reliable, caring, and clearly takes great pride in what she does. She will definitely be my go-to person whenever we need someone to watch our dog. I would highly recommend Maria and her services to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pet.

Jenniffer was absolutely wonderful! She kept in constant communication, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog, Gracie, in her care, and it was such a relief knowing my baby was safe, happy, and well taken care of during my vacation. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!

Before booking, confirm:

- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Cliffwood choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
