“I used Sherry again for my last business trip and the experience was just as great as the first time. She keeps me up to date on their activities, send me pictures and asked questions if she isn’t sure. All things I value highly! I will certainly use her again!”
About: I’ve had a lifelong love for animals and have been caring for pets of all kinds for years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and look after their pets — and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs, patient with anxious or senior animals, and always communicate regularly with owners so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing.
“I had a really positive experience. Sue came out for a meet and greet a couple days before so my puppy could get to know her. On the days of the service she walked him, played with him, and made sure he got some attention and activity. She kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the visits, which gave me peace of mind. Everything went smoothly and I felt he was well cared for.”
“Kelley was great with my pup. She followed all care instructions and gave him lots of attention. Communication was great and she was very responsive. I'll be booking with her again!”
About: I have dog and cat sat for neighbors and through Rover for almost 10 years and have a dog of my own. I love animals and will always take care of your pet as if it were my own. I am generally available in the afternoon and at night on weekdays or anytime on weekends. I can accommodate most visit times if booked in advance. I would be able to care for your cat or dog in your home and would take any safety precautions necessary to keep your pet happy and safe.
“This was our first time using Ana and she was wonderful ! Our kitty gets lonely when we’re away , so Ana gave her the extra comfort she needed on her daily visits. Ana was great with daily reports and responsive if i had any questions. We will definitely be using her again in the future for our kitty and pups !”
“Mirella did a fantastic job pet sitting our two guinea pigs over Christmas. One of our pigs is elderly and has health issues, and Mirella handled them very professionally and compassionately. We felt so much better traveling knowing that our pigs were in good hands at home. Thank you!!”
“Easy to communicate with. Showed up each day. On time. Seemed to spend the full time with my cat. Was dependent and reliable and seemingly kind to my cat (which is most important). Would recommend.”
About: I’ve been around many types of animals all my life including exotic, farm animals, and house pets like cats and dogs. I love them all equally and would be happy to care for any pet! I currently work full time but typically have 3 days off a week. I will be going back to school in the fall but will still have availability. While I cannot currently look after pets in my own home, I am happy to accommodate most needs for any animal in their own home.
About: ACCEPTING SAME DAY/ SHORT NOTICE BOOKINGS Hello!! I’ve had dogs and cats and pets of all kinds since I was a kid! So it’s over 20 years now 🥲 I have 5 years of experience as a volunteer for my local shelter, fostering kittens and dogs. I’ve cared for sick and skittish animals. I’ve personally had mostly small and medium shelter recuses, but I’ve cared for all types, big or small! I’ve had 3 cats for the last 10 years and I’m a certified cat lover 😻😻 I’ve also looked after guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, and even frogs, so basically if it has fur, fins, or a tank, I’ve probably fed it at some point. I’m excited to look after your fur babies as well! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I keep a flexible, full-time schedule so I can be available whenever care is needed! I’m available for overnights, regular check-ins, and walks whenever your pet needs them, including weekdays and weekends. Whatever routine your pet is used to, I can work around it!! Since I care for pets in their own home, I can keep their routine exactly as it is if you were there. The same food times, same walk schedule, same rules. I’m careful about doors and gates, keep the home secure while you’re away, and treat your space with the same respect I’d want for my own :))
“Laura was pleasant ,considerate, flexible, and followed directions perfectly. She communicated with me through her drop in and made sure Nova was well cared for ( and got her to poop which is a big deal to us 😂). Would highly recommend!”
About: What sets me apart is the love and attention I give each dog as if they were my own. I’m very attentive to routines, feeding, and behavior, making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I’m also organized, patient, and I always make sure they get plenty of affection, playtime, and care. I’m fully available, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I can give pets consistent attention, follow their schedule, and be present throughout the day. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, safe, and loving environment with plenty of space to explore. I’m lucky to have a large outdoor area with beautiful surroundings, including small lakes and walking paths, which allows for relaxing walks and plenty of fresh air. I always supervise outdoor time to ensure safety. Inside, I keep a clean, cozy space where pets can rest comfortably and follow their usual routines. In clients’ homes, I respect each pet’s routine and environment, making sure they feel secure and cared for while you’re away.
About: I have had two dogs and one cat throughout my lifetime. I love animals, taking care of them playing with them and spending time with them :) Ensuring that the pets are fed as many times as they need to be, and on time, receive frequent bathroom breaks and have active playtime. keeping or continuing the routine set up and providing consistency for the pet, including necessary feeding, attention, especially during playtime and maintaining a safe environment.
About: I’m that friend who always volunteers to watch the dog — because I genuinely love it. I grew up with three dogs, helped my sister with her pups, and even lived with a roommate who ran a doggy daycare. I miss having furry energy around, so I’m here to give yours all the love, walks, and playtime they need! I currently work remote and am free most weeknights and weekends, so I have the flexibility during my lunch break or the ability to spend some time with the pup on a weekend. When I’m caring for your dog in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow all your instructions closely — from feeding schedules and walk times to any special quirks or care details that make your pup feel safe and happy. I take time to bond with each dog so they feel comfortable with me while you’re away. Whether that means playtime in the yard, cozy cuddle sessions, or just quiet companionship, I adjust to what your pet needs. I’m respectful of your space, clean up after myself (and your dog!), and always make sure things are left as I found them. Because I’ve lived with and cared for dogs in all kinds of homes — including helping with a former roommate’s doggy daycare — I know how to be a calm, trustworthy presence in your dog’s environment. Your pup will be in loving, capable hands, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re happy and cared for.
“Hannah is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my dog Olivia while I was away. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Olivia was in such loving and capable hands. Hannah sent regular updates, adorable photos, and made sure Olivia got plenty of attention, walks, and playtime. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog walker Olivia clearly adored her too! Highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring.”

I would make sure that your pet/pets are safe and in good hands I always send messages and updates to ensure you feel at ease.

Abigail completed another great visit with photos of how happy and comfortable my dog was with her. She also went above and beyond with being handy in fixing the gate latch, which recently broke. This shows how caring and attentive Abigail is, and I highly recommend her to other pet owners!
It was my first time using a Rover service. Mutsuko and Toru were reliable and handled two energetic, crazy, big boys very well. I used to bring them to the dog hotel, but I hate the fact that they are over-vaccinated to stay there. I was thrilled to see the pictures they sent me of every walk, and I was notified of their bathroom activities. I do highly recommend them.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- 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 Cranbury 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.
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 .
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
