About: I currently have a mini bernadoodle named Piper. She is two years old and I have had her since she was 10 weeks old. What sets me apart is that I love her as much as my children and she has a piece of my heart. I make sure she is safe and happy every single day. I currently working fulltime but I am able to pet care weekdays, weekend mornings and evenings. I am flexible so if there is a day of the week and time you prefer feel free to ask and if I can make it work, I will be there. I am in the process of moving, so I can not have pets in my home after June 2026 but at someone else's home, your pet is my priority. I will make sure they are fed, exercised and loved.

About: Greyhound lady with over a decade training and caring for dogs, including certifying two rescued racetrack greyhounds as therapy dogs through Bright and Beautiful Therapy Dogs. I've cared for five rescue dogs over the years — four greyhounds and a pug mix — handling everything from puppy adjustment to senior care, including medications, mobility needs, and end-of-life support. I use calm, positive-reinforcement handling and I'm skilled at reading a dog's stress or comfort level in real time, so walks stay relaxed and enjoyable. I'm also experienced with nervous or reactive dogs, having safely de-escalated an unleashed dog confrontation while working a mail route. My own dog takes 1.5 hours walk per day. We love Donaldson Park and the Highland Park Meadows, Johnson Park, Cheesequake and Morristown National Park for treats. Safety comes first on every walk. I read each dog's body language and comfort level before we even leave the door, and I adjust pace, route, or duration accordingly — a skill I built training two rescued greyhounds as certified therapy dogs. I stay alert to hazards like other loose animals, traffic, and extreme heat, and I know how to calmly de-escalate a tense situation if one arises. I treat every pet with the same patience and care I give my own rescue dogs, and I communicate clearly with owners before and after each walk so they always know how their pet is doing.

About: Hi! I’m Quin. I grew up with cats, dogs, a bunny, and was a member of an Alpaca 4-H club since I was in 3rd grade, I don’t know a world without animals. I genuinely love getting to know people’s pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. My current house currently boasts four cats of various ages, from kittens to an old lady, and a young Australian Shepherd mix. Because of this, I'm very comfortable with both cats, dogs, and households that have multiple pets. I've also spent a large part of my life caring for senior animals and pets who need a little extra attention. I've managed medications, special diets, frequent potty breaks, and other individualized care, including caring for a previous dog with a seizure disorder. My approach to pet care is to meet each animal where they are. I love matching their energy, whether that means a long walk and plenty of playtime, some quiet companionship, or simply giving a shy pet the time and space they need to become comfortable with me. I'm detail-oriented and happy to follow specific routines and care instructions because I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is being cared for exactly the way you would care for them. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and cat sitting. I'm happy to care for pets who need extra attention or have special routines, and I always want to make your time away as easy and worry-free as possible. Most importantly, I want your pets to feel like they have a friend looking after them while you're gone. If that sounds like the kind of pet care you need, please reach out to me! I am currently a part-time student with another job on top of Rover, so please take a look at the calendar to book with me! Pet safety is my top priority. I am familiar with dealing with cats and dogs who don't get along and make sure not just to stop dangerous scenarios but also to prevent them altogether.
“Wow! My husband and I were so thankful for Rebecca! She accepted our last minute request during Thanksgiving when no other facilities would accept our 110 lb Rottweiler! She was in contact with my husband and I and sent many pictures of our dog on walks and also gave him medication and put his food out twice a day. My dog really enjoyed his time with her. She totally took the stress out of leaving our puppy at home and we enjoyed our vacation without a single worry! I would recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for a caring, responsible and dependable dog sitter”

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.
“Jennifer was amazing and took really great care of our kitties, she is very reliable and conscientious. I will definitely be a repeat client and recommending her to all my friends”

“Megan M. was amazing with my pack (4) of very large boys! She was friendly and professional! I will definitely use her again if I ever need Rover to cover a day my friends and family can't! The boys definitely made a new friend! 🐾💙”

“Stacey gave my two cats the best care I could imagine. I am so thankful for all she did for them, including giving medicine, and her detailed reports on their behavior while I was away.”
“I always appreciate Mikayla. She is very dependable and goes out of the way to help out when she is available. I would highly recommend her for anyone needing pet sitting while they are away.”

“Lizbeth was great with my boy while I was gone! She was super accommodating with both of our schedules and I was able to book with her within short notice as well. She gave updates and was very responsive if I had any questions or other requests! Milo had a buddy for the weekend while I was gone, and I’d definitely book with her again! Thanks Lizbeth 😽🐾”

“Christina was the absolute best! She was able to come watch our boys on short notice while we were away for our wedding. She is very communicative, friendly, and deeply cares for your pets. We will definitely be recommending her & rebooking in the future. Thank you so so much!! 🩷”

“Tessa was wonderful! She took great care of Remy while I was away and was always very attentive to his needs. She carefully followed all of my instructions, including giving his medication with a Pill Pocket, and was very responsive whenever I had questions or requests. My flight was unexpectedly delayed on my way home, and she was kind enough to accept a last-minute morning visit so Remy could receive his medication on time. I really appreciated her flexibility, reliability, and great communication. I would absolutely book with her again!”

About: I am a Middle School Counselor off for the summer so my availability is incredibly flexible. I’ve had dogs in my family home since I was in middle school until today. My current dog Moonshine is a Beaglier who is the sweetest girl in the whole world! I have years of experience professionally working with families and children including in-home therapy, so I am comfortable traveling to homes in a professional setting. As a School Counselor, I am currently off of work for the summer so my weekday availability is very flexible. I can plan my daily/weekly living tasks around your needs. I have spent years of my professional career working with children and families. For part of my career that included in-home therapy, so I am comfortable and accustomed to entering homes in a professional setting. My top priority is respecting your home and your pet. My Beaglier, Moonshine, is happy to provide a positive review!
“Lisa Marie was excellent with our two high-energy dogs! She was prompt and a great communicator. She sent lots of pictures of our pups so we could see they were having a great time and gave thorough reports on how the drop-in visits went. Some of the pics she sent were actually frame-worthy!! Thank you for taking such great care of Linkin and Hudson!”

About: I love dogs and have always grown up with them. I am reliable, believe in clear communication and provide frequent picture updates to ensure that owners are comfortable knowing their pets are safe and happy under my care :) I’m in school part-time and my job is fully remote. I am pretty flexible with my time. Let me know what works best for you and your pet(s) — I’m sure we can figure something out! I treat every dog that I look after as if they were my own. I’ll make sure to build trust and give them all the extra love, cuddles, and attention while you’re away.
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, bunnies (especially Holland Lops!), and even small rodents like hamsters and guinea pigs. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and your pet will be treated just like one of the family while they’re with me. I have a fully fenced-in yard and a cozy home filled with love—and four wonderful, respectful kids who are just as excited to welcome your furry friend as I am. We believe in gentle hands, lots of attention, and keeping routines as close to home as possible. I also have: • A well-behaved, fixed dog with a calm temperament who gets along well with others • An extra crate and room to accommodate different needs • A work-from-home schedule, so I’m home most of the day for supervision, cuddles, and potty breaks • A love for long neighborhood walks—perfect for active pups who enjoy fresh air and exercise Whether your pet needs space to play, snuggles on the couch, or just someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’m here to provide a safe, loving environment. Boutique, In-Home Style Care 🐾 I’m a low-volume sitter by choice because I believe pets thrive best in an environment that closely mirrors their own home. Your fur baby won’t be one of many — I only board one family at a time, ensuring individualized attention, consistency, and calm. There’s no crating all day or night here (unless that’s part of your pet’s normal routine). Pets are treated like family — lounging comfortably, following familiar schedules, and receiving the same level of care, affection, and structure they’re used to at home. If you’re looking for a peaceful, home-style experience where your pet receives truly personalized care rather than a kennel setting, you’re in the right place. 💛 I’d love to meet your pet and answer any questions you have. Let’s chat and see if we’re a good fit! I work remotely, so I’m home all day long! Evenings may be busy with ubering my kids around, but your babies will be kept in a safe and clean environment if I’m gone for a short time. I have a fenced in yard, for the dogs to play. My kids are well versed in pet safety, regarding doors and gates. And I have two separate areas of the house your babies are free to roam that are away from outside access doors. When boarding, please bring all supplies. Food, treats, toys. Animals away from home may be confused. Bedding, smells from home are comforting! I do have litter boxes, but do not store litter, as cats have different preferences. Please bring enough litter for your stay.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - East Brunswick
This was the first time I ever used Rover so I was a little nervous. Adriane set me at ease by setting up an initial time to meet in person before moving forward. And of course, I felt very comfortable upon our meet. From there, Adriane was so fantastic with Millie. She sent me updates and many photos daily. She even made homemade treats for Millie (after checking with me of course) and I just felt Millie was really being loved up while we were away. I will absolutely ask Adriane for her availability in the future. I know Millie will miss her now that we are home from our 3 week vacation. I wish she could still come visit her everyday!

Look no further—Yvette is simply the best! What truly sets her apart is the genuine love and dedication she shows. It’s rare to find someone who treats your pet as if they were their own, and that truly makes all the difference. Yvette has been caring for my dog for over a year, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I trust her completely and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for outstanding, reliable, and compassionate pet care.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a East Brunswick stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 East Brunswick 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
