“Joseph was wonderful with our extremely timid recent rescue pup! He even came early to spend more time with our girl. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a caring petsitter.”
About: I understand that pets are family, and I take that responsibility seriously. I have extensive experience providing in-home pet care, including administering medications, maintaining daily routines, and giving pets the love and attention they deserve while their owners are away. In addition to caring for dogs, I've also cared for gardens and chickens, making me a dependable choice for both your pets and your home. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and keep your pets happy, safe, and comfortable. As an elementary school teacher, I have a flexible schedule throughout the year and am especially available during the summer months when I am off from school. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, walks, and care to your pets. Whether you need daily visits, overnight care, or last-minute help, I am committed to being a dependable resource for you and your furry family members. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and specific needs to ensure they feel secure and well cared for while you're away. I maintain a calm, positive environment, follow all care instructions carefully, and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind. Whether it's a walk, overnight stay, or drop-in visit, I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own.
About: My home was set up for an 80lb dog with a fenced in yard and areas around the house. Should be very comfortable for any dog. I’m very attentive to the pets, making sure their needs are met and that they are safe and sound. When I take on a job, my schedule is pretty cleared out for it since I’m a retired person. I can schedule my time around the care of your pet. I care for pets in my home by keeping an eye on them. Taking them out into the fenced yard and walking them twice a day. If they like to play fetch or tug I’ll do that with them too. I keep them fed, watered, exercised and rested.
About: I have been caring for pets since I was little. A dog owner for most of my life but now I have 1 cat as well. I love caring for animals and helping people. I will keep your pet happy, safe, active, and healthy. Hi! I’m Matt, a full-time special education teacher and lifelong animal lover. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I have a fenced-in backyard with plenty of room to play, along with a friendly chocolate Lab who loves making new friends. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and energy levels, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal feeding, walking, medication, and daily routines. As a teacher, I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and used to adapting to individual needs. During your pet’s stay, you can expect plenty of attention, walks, games of fetch, backyard time, and, of course, lots of belly rubs. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m generally available after school, evenings, weekends, and during many school breaks. Every pet is different, so please let me know about their personality, routine, or any special requests ahead of time. I’ll do my best to make their time with me feel like a home away from home! 🐾 I have a fenced in backyard and a very friendly chocolate lab. He loves other animals! Any special requests you may have just let me know!
“This is our 2nd time using Jonathan. We had a vet emergency 1 hr before our flight, and he came to the vet office, picked up meds, and administered them while we were away. Incredibly kind and responsible person!”
“Mary was awesome. She accommodated a pretty short notice request for our first time for a drop-in. And while our dogs can be anxious around new people, she had no concerns and took them out and played with them and they had a blast. We will definitely be using her services again.”
About: I have spent years caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I genuinely love building trust with every pet I meet. Whether it’s an energetic walk, a calming drop-in visit, or simply making sure your pet feels safe while you’re away, I provide dependable, compassionate care tailored to each animal’s needs. My experience includes volunteering with Friends of Southern Ocean County Animal Shelter and Stafford Veterinary Hospital, where I worked alongside animal care professionals and gained hands-on experience with dogs of different temperaments, medical needs, and backgrounds. Those experiences taught me how to read canine body language, stay calm in stressful situations, and always put an animal’s comfort and safety first. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. I’ll treat your dog like family, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve every visit. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and make your pet’s day a little brighter. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. I do my best to accept last-minute bookings whenever possible and understand that plans can change unexpectedly. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or a drop-in visit while you’re at work or away, I’m committed to providing reliable, consistent care. My goal is to make scheduling easy and ensure your pet receives the attention and companionship they deserve. I believe pets are happiest in the comfort of their own home, where their routine stays familiar and stress is kept to a minimum. During each visit, I’ll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, plenty of exercise and playtime, bathroom breaks, and, of course, lots of attention and affection. I take the time to understand your pet’s individual personality and routine, whether they prefer a long walk, a game of fetch, or simply a quiet companion. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own and always follow your instructions carefully. My goal is to keep your pet safe, comfortable, and happy while giving you complete peace of mind. You’ll receive regular updates and photos after every visit so you always know how your furry family member is doing.
About: I have been a shelter volunteer for 10 years walking dogs of all sizes and breeds in addition caring for dogs & cats and kittens. CPR and Reiki certified. Also, AKC Certified Canine Good Citizen Evaluator. I have worked at my job for the last 22 yrs, currently remote. I will be available on Rover on my days off, walks and care.

“Five Star Service! Hailey was on time, attentive and so loving. I have three cats, requiring multiple drop-ins per day. I had updates after each visit, which provided peace of mind. My little fur babies were in the best hands while we were away. Will definitely book her again for our next trip!”
“Caroline did a great job taking care of our cat. She can be a little sassy but Caroline did a great job handling her. She was able to send us photos and updates and answered promptly, which put my mind at ease when we were traveling.”
About: I’ve had dogs since I can remember. I’ve helped train my mom’s two current dogs. I help my sister take care of her cat when I visit her. I’m excited to help others take care of their furry friends! I work remote full-time so my schedule is pretty flexible. Unfortunately my rental does not allow pets, so I cannot have any overnight. But on a case by case basis I can stay at the owners house with pet(s) if needed, or make multiple stops during the day and before bed time. I can take your pet for walks, play fetch with them, feed them, and more. Whatever is needed while you’re gone throughout the day or overnight within reason!
About: I have over two years of professional experience working with dogs and have been a dog owner for more than 15 years. I believe in allowing dogs to approach at their own pace and building trust through patience and understanding. I have experience caring for puppies as well as dogs with behavioral challenges. I’m a college student with flexible availability. The only times I’m unavailable are Tuesdays before 1 PM and Thursdays. I live at home, so overnights at my home aren’t an option, but I’m happy to stay overnight at your home if needed. I am capable of handling multi-dog families. Due to my background, I'm used to seeing sibling sets of 2-3, despite never personally owning more than 2 dogs at 1 time
“Kacy was the best & well worth the $100 tip! She provided last minute services to pick up my Remi (whom she had never met) from the vet and followed detail instructions to take her to the suites. This was a very challenging decision as I am not from or live in NJ and didnt know anyone. This dog lover is the best! I will use her services again hands down! Me & Remi thank you so much Kacy!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Eatontown
Kristen provided exceptional drop-in care to our nervous dog, Stella, and our two cats, Fred and George, while we were away. She went above and beyond to establish a comfort level with Stella, visiting our house twice prior to our trip. Kristen was very patient with Stella, and she found that walks were a great way for the two of them to bond. She followed our care instructions exactly, providing food, water, walks, medications, and affection to the furry members of our family while we were away. She was on time for each visit, sent us photos and updates, and asked thoughtful questions about their care. Kristen is kind, thorough, trustworthy, and wonderful with animals. We highly recommend her when looking for someone to take care of your pets!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Eatontown stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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 Eatontown 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.
To find sitters in Eatontown with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
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.
