About: Animals have always been a big part of my life! I have several years of professional dog grooming experience, where I’ve worked with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with handling, bathing, brushing, and caring for pets with different needs. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone patient, trustworthy, and attentive to your pet’s individual personality. I will treat your pets with the same love, care, and respect I give my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to the pets in my care. I enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s going for walks, playing, providing companionship, or making sure they stick to their normal feeding and care routines. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I’ll do my best to accommodate their usual schedule and keep them comfortable while you’re away. As an experienced dog groomer, I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy. I always follow each pet’s routine and their owner’s instructions, supervise pets carefully, and make sure they have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention. I take time to learn each pet’s personality and needs, use gentle handling, and prioritize their safety and well being at all times. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions to help pets feel secure and at home.
“Jennifer went above and beyond our expectations. This is the first time we've used someone we didn't know to watch our dog. Nervous about being gone for a week. Jennifer sent pictures, went on walks, played with our dog and much more. Jennifer was texting us each day with updates. Would highly recommend Jennifer and Rover service if you need someone to watch your dog.”
“Great service and excellent communication. My pets were very well taken care of and they even managed to make friends with my antisocial cat. They sent tons of pictures throughout the visit and stayed in constant communication. Would definitely book with them again.”
“Wow! This is our first time ever in almost years that’s our two pups and our daddy dog have ever been with absolute strangers and omg were we nervous! Miguel and Maria came by prior to dog sitting and came with the dogs fav. Snack carrots and while one of the dogs does have anxiety and then the other gets riled up Miguel new how to handle the situation and from then on they became best of friends! They stayed at our home for 5 days with our babies. They sent videos, photos of how they interacted with them. We were blessed to have them take care of our precious kiddos;) we would highly recommend them! If you have a dog with anxiety like we do highly recommend! Thank you you too for being amazing!!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for family and friends for many years and truly love being around animals. I currently have a friendly Goldendoodle puppy who loves other dogs and would enjoy having playmates during their stay. Because I work from home, your pet will receive lots of attention, supervision, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. We live on 2 peaceful acres in the country surrounded by farmland, giving dogs plenty of space to safely run, explore, and burn energy. Inside, pets are treated like family — couch cuddles are welcome! My goal is to make your fur baby feel comfortable, active, loved, and at home while you’re away so you can return to a happy, tired pup ready to relax and cuddle with you. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and already spend most of my day caring for my own Goldendoodle puppy. Your pet will have frequent potty breaks, playtime, outdoor exercise, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends and can be flexible with schedules when needed. We live on 2 peaceful acres in the country, so dogs have lots of space to safely run and play while still enjoying a calm, relaxing environment indoors. Pets are rarely left alone and are treated like part of the family during their stay. I can crate when needed.
“took great care of the house and dogs while we were gone! she even accommodated a last-minute extension and having to administer medication to our senior dog who got sick right before we left.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs in every stage of life, from a 6-year-old rescue to puppies I raised and trained myself. My dogs are housebroken and crate trained, and I’m comfortable reinforcing structure and routines. I’ve also provided overnight care for large dogs with specific medication needs and frequent walk schedules, so I understand the importance of consistency and attention to detail. I’m patient, calm, and respectful of each dog’s personality. My goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m flexible and able to plan my day around scheduled walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. I’m organized and punctual, so I make sure pets are fed, walked, and cared for on time, especially when they’re used to a consistent routine. Since I provide care in my client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, crate use, and household rules. For walks and drop-ins, I prioritize leash safety, secure doors and gates, and make sure pets have fresh water and a calm environment before I leave. During overnight stays, I maintain their normal routine to reduce stress and keep them feeling safe while their owner is away.
“Korbin went above and beyond during my 7 day trip. When my flight got cancelled he even stayed one more night! He is wonderful with my dogs and was very respectful of my house! Hire him- you won’t regret it!!”
About: It is my favorite to train the dog here, so that the dog can not only have a good body, but I can also exercise with the dog myself and relax. I go out for a run with my dog every day, which not only works my body but also builds a trusting relationship between us. This way I can take better care of the dog and life. It is a must to go for a walk every day and take the dog to the park to play. Grooming, regular feeding, oral cleaning, nasal cleaning, ear canal cleaning, etc.

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.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Denhawken walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Denhawken maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Denhawken 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!
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 Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
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.
