“Kelley was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly flexible, communicated with us proactively and throughout Kal’s stay, and took fantastic care of him. Her huge fenced-in property gave him plenty of room to run and play, and her three sweet kids were so excited to spend time with him. It was clear Kal was loved and well cared for while we were away. We will happily book with Kelley again the next time we go down the shore.”

“Top tier service! This was my first time using this service and I am so elated I ran into Sterlin. She provided constant communication about the activities she was doing with Bear which made me extremely comfortable and relieved. I also think Bear fell in love as well. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet as if they are there own there’s no need to look any further…YOU FOUND HER!”

“Lacey's stay at Mike's home was beyond expectations. This was the first time I left Lacey with a sitter. I was apprehensive albeit comfortable with leaving her in Mikes care. Upon return I found a happy dog that seemed to not want to leave and come home. Good Job! Mike has a new regular customer.”
About: I am a person dedicated to animal welfare and I specialize in the care of adult dogs, although I also have experience with puppies. My priority is that each dog feels safe, calm and happy, like at home. I offer a complete and personalized care that includes: Daily walks with attention to your pace and needs Food according to their schedules and special diets Medication administration (if needed) Baths and basic hygiene care Much love, patience and company Your dog will be in good hands, with someone who really loves what he does. Pet care is the heart of my daily routine. From early in the morning until the end of the day, I organize my time according to the needs of each dog under my care. Each walk, meal, game or moment of rest is part of a routine designed with love and responsibility. I make sure to maintain consistent schedules, adapt activities according to the dog's age and energy, and always be attentive to its physical and emotional well-being. More than a task, taking care of dogs is an essential part of my day to day and something I deeply enjoy. 1. Professional organization of space I have a clean, safe and adapted area according to the size and personality of each pet. I use beds, toys, and differentiated areas for rest, play and food. 2. Structured but flexible routine I plan the day with fixed schedules for walks, meals, baths, and rest time. I adapt to the specific needs of each pet (medication, diet, energy level). 3. Communication with the owners I maintain constant contact with the owners through messages, photos or videos. I inform you about how your pet is, if he eats well, if he plays, or if I notice something unusual. 4. Hygiene and well-being guaranteed I clean the spaces and utensils daily. If required, I give baths or perform basic hygiene care. 5. Security and responsibility I never leave pets alone or in a cage I know basic first aid for animals 6. Love, attention and respect I treat each pet as if it were mine. I strive to make them feel comfortable, calm and loved, like in their own home.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for over 25 years, and I currently have two of my own. I’m the guy friends, neighbors, and family call when they need someone dependable to look after their pets. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or keeping them company, I make sure every dog is safe, comfortable, and well‑taken care of. Because I work from home, I’m able to build pet care right into my day. I walk my dogs daily, spend time with them in our fenced yard, and keep them active and engaged. That flexibility also lets me do longer drop‑ins or even work remotely from a client’s home if their dog needs extra company. Pets get plenty of attention and consistency with me. I provide a safe, supervised environment with a fenced yard, daily walks, and plenty of interaction with my two friendly dogs. Since I work from home, I’m able to keep a close eye on pets and stick to their normal routine. For clients who prefer in‑home care, I can stay longer or even work remotely from their house so their dog isn’t alone. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for.
About: Grew up with many animals and love them like my own. I’ve trained puppies and adult dogs alike. I have cats and can handle more I work for myself from home and out of the home as well. I love animals and am very passionate about what I do and how others are treated! I walk my own dog frequently, every two hours or so and I play with her all day long. My cat is a sleeper but he joins in on the playtime as well. I’m very clean, and maintain a very clean home and can help train and clean the animals as well. I am able to groom and trim nails and hair as well.
“Andrew was a real life saver today. After an unfortunate last minute cancellation from another dog sitter, Andrew took my dog in less than 10 mins and had him almost until 7pm. This allowed my family to spend an extra 6 hours of our last vacation day at the beach and boardwalk. I can’t thank him enough for being so kind and taking care of Blaze so well. I would recommend him and use him again anytime.”
“Stosh loves his time with Rose! We have used Rose several times now and she is wonderful. Rose is a very loving care giver. She is very accommodating and I would definitely recommend her!”

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.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Downe commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NJ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. Many sitters can respond to messages in under an hour.
To find the fastest available match, message multiple sitters with a recent "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
