About: With a full year of Rover experience and a strong base of repeat clients, I bring reliability, consistency, and genuine care to every booking. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, including my own 80‑lb senior lab, and I understand how important it is to maintain routines, provide calm structure, and keep pets comfortable. Whether your pet needs playtime, quiet companionship, or extra patience, I’m committed to giving them attentive, high‑quality care. A meet & greet is required for all first time clients. I want to make sure this is a good fit for everyone! Pet care is a core part of my everyday life because pet‑sitting is my full‑time job. My days revolve around maintaining consistent routines, giving each pet plenty of attention, and making sure everyone feels comfortable and cared for. I’m home throughout the day, which means I can provide regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and companionship without rushing or squeezing things in. With my own 8‑year‑old, 80‑lb lab by my side, caring for dogs is simply part of the rhythm of my home and my week. Pets staying with me get reliable structure, lots of interaction, and a calm environment where they can settle in and feel at ease. I offer both in‑home boarding and in‑home sitting, and I tailor my care to whatever helps pets feel the most comfortable. When pets stay with me, they have full access to my fenced‑in backyard for safe outdoor time, plus daily walks either through downtown Lambertville or along the quieter D&R towpath depending on their energy level and personality. My home is set up for dogs to relax, follow familiar routines, and enjoy plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m also happy to stay in a client’s home when that’s the best fit. In those cases, I adapt completely to the pet’s existing schedule, environment, and household routines—whether that means sticking to specific feeding times, maintaining training habits, or keeping their usual walking routes. My goal is always to make pets feel secure, understood, and cared for, no matter which service their family chooses.
About: I've been taking care of my best friend's and my neighbors' dogs since before I can remember, and have two very happy and healthy cats myself. I can take care of any animal, but cats and dogs are my favorites. I love to take dogs on walks and playing fetch (even on 100+ degree days) because every dog deserves the best treatment. Pet care is 24/7 for me with two cats, but since it's summertime, I'm able to be free any day of the week at any time to take care of pets, and can spend long amounts of time with pets without having to leave them. I will follow any and all rules and set by you, including feeding times, walk requests and more, as all I want is to ensure your pet is safe, happy, and taken care of properly. I am very enthusiastic about walks and even just playing with and petting dogs, and I just want to make sure pets are happy and healthy😸.
“Carina was wonderful with our pug! Very kind, dependable, and kept in touch with me throughout the time we were away. I felt very comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands. I would definitely use her services again!!”
“Laura was incredibly responsive and communicative from the start, and she was willing to take care of my dog on very short notice. My dog was well cared for and happy when I returned. I truly appreciate her flexibility and professionalism. Highly recommend!”
About: I've been taking care of animals my whole life. As a child, wife, mom and teacher, I have taken care of and loved many animals over the years. I have experience with dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, frogs, turtles, birds, fish. As an educator, I have open availability during the summer. I'd love to show your pet some extra TLC during your workday to ease your mind! I have all of my security clearances as an educator. I hope this helps provide you with peace of mind when I come to take care of your pet.
About: I’ve always had multiple pets my whole life from a young age, learned responsibilities by feeding, grooming, walking, entertaining, training and medically providing for all my pets and any animal in my care. I have experience working in multiple vet clinics throughout my childhood as I was a pre-vet major up until junior year of college so I have a lot of experience with all kinds of animals and medical knowledge as well. I now have my own dog, Appa, who is 2 that I raised from a puppy and am currently self training. I am currently a phd grad student at vanderbilt university so I have morning classes and lab work, but I live right down the road from campus (less than 5 min drive) and I always come home immediately after my classes/work to be home with Appa. Pet care fits into my daily schedule as I spend as much time as i can working from home so I can be with my dog. I have a 1 bedroom apartment and i live with my 2 year old fur baby named Appa! I have an apt with room for some zoomies and room to play with toys, I have a balcony if they like being outside and my buidling also has a small dog park on the roof with 2 fenced circular yards lined with turf so they can run around at a mini park as much as they want!
“First time using Rover. Any reservations I had going into this were quickly dissolved by Justine’s friendly and prompt responses. I appreciate the communications prior to the visit and also the updates during and afterwards. I would absolutely request her again in the future.”
About: I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs since I was in elementary school. We have 5 cats and 5 dogs of our own. I am a certified foster for the SPCA and several other rescues. I take medical cases and am comfortable giving medicines. All ages of pets and needs welcome! Pets are my number 1 priority. I make my schedule around the pets I am caring for! I treat them like my own and their needs come first ! I have a 6 foot fenced in yard and take dogs into my own when needed. Otherwise I watch dogs in their own environment to make them as comfortable as possible when their owners are away.
“Meghan provided excellent care to my two kitties. She was very conscious about keeping the food dishes clean and keeping the litter box clean. She spent time with them , giiving some love and comfort. I have reserved Meghan for multiple trips during the next year.”
“Sarafina did a great job caring for my cat, Lawrence! He just needed daily drop-in visits and she sent lots of photos. She stopped by beforehand to make sure she knew exactly what he needed and was friendly and knowledgeable! She did an excellent job with my instructions and gave him plenty of playtime while she stopped in. I highly recommend Sarafina for any of your pets needs!”
About: Leaving a pet in a kennel can be one of the most stressful situations for a pet owner - including myself. This prompted me to take my love of animals, combined with a large property -and a desire for change in my work life as an ICU nurse to begin a "small batch" boarding business. "Small" in numbers of dogs per stay, but not in size, we can accommodate the big breeds as well. ***Many clients and return clients book privately and my availability will be kept up to date on this site*** I've been a "mom" to two Dobermans and have cared for many dogs both at my house along with traditional dog sitting. I love all dogs and am very comfortable with large working breeds. Dogs that need medical care, (injections and medications are welcome as long as they have detailed instructions) are not an issue for me. Your dog is cared for as if it is our family dog - which means having fun, feeling safe, & loved - all with ample room to play - without the confines of a traditional kennel. I work full time from home, so your dog will have plenty of attention and lots of time outdoors to play. I follow your current routine with feedings to keep consistency and reduce any stress - my goal is for your dog to feel this is their "2nd home". My property (aka "Everygreen Hill") is large (2 acres) with slightly over 1 acre fenced. Your pup will have ample room to run in the fenced area, while the comfort of being inside (central AC for summer). A structured walk is an option, and that can be done on my property . Weather permitting, doggie pool, & sprinkler are available for play. Ideally, dogs are crate-trained for sleep time, naps, and breaks to ensure their safety. All dogs must not show aggression or have a history of aggression with other dogs to be accepted into our home and have proof of rabies vaccinations. Pups are permitted on the couch/furniture if they are allowed at their own home. Photos and videos are sent so you can see your pup while you are away.
About: I have a vast history of experience with dogs including puppies, dogs with medical needs, behavioral needs, seniors, and large dogs. I've volunteered at the SPCA as a dog walker. In recent months have fostered a few puppies for several weeks at a time. Fostering included potty training, sleep training, and leash training. Currently working from home two days a week and home most weekends to spend with a pet. I work as a full-time mental health therapist and would be able to tend to dogs in between sessions. My Monday schedule is usually 10am-3pm and my Friday schedule is usually 10am-1pm both from home. Weekends are for the pets! I currently live in a 4 bedroom home in Bucks County with my Mom and Dad. My parents are not typically home during the day and I would always be present with your pet while in my care. Our backyard has a lead with about 30ft to roam. The neighborhood has sidewalks with grass to walk on if too hot and walking distance to several parks.
About: I had pets my whole life and have taken care of them since I was 10. I have taken care of neighbors' and friends' pets. I love animals. I currently foster dogs in my spare time. I took care of neighbors' dogs when they were away and have a love for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I'm looking forward to meeting your pup and treating him/her like my own! Currently, I am in college and my classes are remote and online! On weekends I tend to be home unless visiting friends but will work with you based on your needs and communicate if anything changes. I treat all pets like they are my own. I keep pets on leashes during walks. If there is any mess for drop-in I will clean it up. I don’t smoke I’m very clean I’ll treat your house the same. I love going on long walks/ runs with dogs I have taken care of. Safety and security are my number one priority. I would make sure to follow specific instructions in your home and respect your property like my own. Whether I am taking care of your pet on a drop-in, or a walk or they’re staying here, they’re going to feel the love from me and feel safe.
About: I have been a pet owner, foster mom, rescue volunteer, and assistance dog trainer for more than two decades. I am a teacher, mom of four grown children, with too much time on my hands and I need some furry friends! I also love to exercise and to walk every day. I am a quiet, introverted person, an avid walker and reader, holder of two masters degrees, and a person of high integrity. I can be trusted in your home. I have experience with very old and very young dogs and cats, with bottle-feeding, administering meds, eye-drops, and even administering subcutaneous fluids. I have puppy trained 7 golden retrievers/standard poodles to be assistance dogs for autistic children which means I took a six-week puppy training course with each pup. I am referred to by my friends and family as the Dog Whisperer. I believe in pet in-loco parentis - pet parent in your absence! I am a preschool teacher (leave my house at 8 and return home by 4.) I like to spend as much of my free time with furry friends. I have been fostering dogs and cats for decades and have a lot of experience sharing my home with other people’s pets. Again, I believe in pet in-loco parentis - pet parent in your absence! I have yet to find an animal I couldn't love. I care for my own pets as if they were my sons and daughters, much to my real children's annoyance!
About: Since the age of 8 years old based on my personal experience of having 3 dogs in my family & always one call away from my friends to take care of their fur babies — I have always found it and honor and pleasure to do so! I understand that these babies are a priority and will never be treated less than. They deserve the world and I couldn’t imagine a life without them. When taking care of your fur baby I am committed to providing the utmost exceptional care and will communicate with the owner as much as they request to — so that they can feel secure that their baby is safe while they’re away. I a full time grad student currently looking for more job opportunities that align with my school schedule. On Tuesdays & Thursdays I am on campus starting at 4pm. One of my rules of thumb in life is respect. I do not take it lightly to be considered and hired to look after your fur baby. Whichever way the owner asks that I care for their pet is exactly what I will do. I pride myself in being very responsible and genuine.
About: Hi my name is Anthony 19yrs old I am from Florida and just moved to NJ to go to college as a student athlete for soccer. Back home I have 2 adorable dogs my Pomeranian Gidget and my Yochon Duke who are both named after the movie the secret life of pets. I love taking them on walks especially during sunset and occasionally bring them in the car to get pupcups. I decided to become a walker on rover so I can continue to do this and make more doggy and cat friends. I’m really excited to work and meet your pet! I currently go to college and have class at 9:30am everyday and get done around 12 then have soccer practice 3 to 4:30pm. This allows me to fit in some walks before class, before practice and after practice! I will make sure to keep the house nice and tidy leaving it cleaner than I found it. If you have a backyard or pool I can play with the dogs out there. If they are allowed treats or pup cups I will bring some when I come.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 request a 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 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 .
sitters 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 sitter.
