About: I’ve had all sorts of pets since I was a little girl. Mostly dogs and cats in my adult years. I haven’t gotten a new dog since I had to say goodbye to my last furry friend. Now I want to have part time pets to love I’m a photographer and a design coordinator who works outside my home a few weeks a year and spends most time home editing photos, or playing with my two grandsons. I have a nice fenced in yard and a beautiful park across the street. I live in a quiet neighborhood with nice streets for walks. There is also a dog park close by.
“Philsung went above and beyond to take care of Petey. During this snowstorm, he walked the rest of the way to my apartment when his car got stuck. When you’re not able to be there with your dog, it’s a terrible feeling, I was so worried Philsung would not be able to make it there but he did. That’s reliability and dedication and a true love for animals. He is an excellent sitter.”
About: Hi, I’m Ksenia! I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family had a big Newfoundland dog along with cats, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Today, our home is still full of animals. We have a cockapoo, a bunny, and two guinea pigs, so caring for pets is truly part of my everyday routine. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, calm, and happy. I take this responsibility seriously and always treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits easily into my weekday routine. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits during the week, whether your pet needs a potty break, feeding, playtime, or some extra company while you’re away. I enjoy calm, relaxed care and focus on being reliable, present, and consistent. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I follow any instructions carefully and make sure dogs are walked calmly and securely. I’m attentive, respectful of your home and routine, and always keep pets supervised. I communicate clearly and want pet parents to feel fully comfortable and confident while their pet is in my care.
About: I’m currently a mom to a 5 year old chiweenie who I’ve raised since he was 3 months old :) additionally, I’ve fostered dogs of all kinds and have become great at adapting to each dog’s individual needs. From puppies to seniors to special needs dogs, I’ve cared for them all. I am very flexible Friday through Monday. I work from home Mondays and Fridays, and I am home on most weekends and would be happy to care for your pup. My apartment is very safe and generally “proofed” for dogs. I have a crate for my own dog and am happy to crate your dog if needed.
“Neil C is a very nice person who quite evidently cares deeply about dogs. He was very communicative, punctual and honest. We have a big dog, who can be quite single minded, but Neil took her in his stride. Thank you Neil, for your patience and time.”
“Our kitties loved Dayshalis and so do we! She took great care of them, making sure they had plenty of play time and attention. She also takes great photos! Her visits and updates were at consistent times, which is much appreciated.”
“Alitha was so wonderful! She watched my cat Mari and made sure to play with her each day and send photos. I would totally have Alitha watch Mari again any time. I would recommend her to anyone!”
About: Animals have been the center of my world for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a household that hosted numerous foster dogs gave me hands-on, real-world experience with different breeds, behaviors, and energy levels. Today, that passion has trickled into my adult life as a dedicated pet caregiver. Whether it’s my own pets, family dogs, or a new foster pup, my lengthy experience means your best friend is always in safe, capable, and loving hands. Nutrition is important to me, so I make sure my dog is properly fed, but activity is equally as important. Everyday I fit a long outdoor hike or walk in for my dog! I am trustworthy with feed and keeping your pup active! I will walk, feed, play, and keep your pup safe. Whether we are in my home with a fenced yard, or at your home, your pup will be safe and happy!
“Amy is the most thorough, trustworthy, and reliable pet sitter I could imagine! I've never used Rover before and have a 7 month old kitten- Amy was incredible this last week for us, even through new years eve and new years day. She was so considerate and came before booking twice to meet peanut, once when we first booked and again a few weeks later before we left for our trip. She took pictures every day and sent it to us, which made my day. In the pictures I can tell my cat loves her and she came out when shes usually afraid of people. I'm so glad we found Amy and I cannot recommend her enough. ❤”
About: Started caring for cats at 15 then would board friends dogs while they travel and have even fostered dogs at risk of euthanasia and/or stray dogs traveling from Texas. I work full time m-f however am able to wfh as needed and always have enough time to cuddle and play with furry friends. Weekends are always free for outdoor play time or indoor snuggle sessions. I am in a spacious apartment with a 3 year old cat and 9 year old dog. Both are friendly and love to nap all day. More than enough space to be separated if needed.
“Our young dog has separation anxiety, she screams and jumps at the door the entire time when we leave her alone. I'm so thankful we found Amanda so that we could have an evening out without worrying about what was happening at home. We loved getting updates and photos throughout the evening. The experience exceeded our expectations and we will use her again in the future.”

About: Your pet's safety and your home's security are my top priorities. I am highly dependable, show up on time for every visit, follow all instructions precisely, and ensure your home is secure when I leave. You will receive daily detailed updates and a variety of clear photos, so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I'm always available to address any questions or concerns, providing transparency and peace of mind while you're away. I'm well-versed in puppy routines, including positive reinforcement, consistent potty breaks, and maintaining their training schedules to help them thrive. Ultimately, I treat every pet as if they were my own loved one, following their specific routines and rules to ensure they feel comfortable, happy, and safe in your absence. I currently work mostly evenings, so I have plenty of time during the day to spend with your pets! Just as important as when I provide care is how consistently I do it. I maintain strict schedules for feeding and walking based on the owner's instructions to ensure the pet feels secure and comfortable. While I have a routine, I'm also very flexible. I work from home and deliberately keep my schedule light to be available for any unexpected needs, whether it’s a sudden vet visit, a longer play session, or just some extra cuddle time. I consider my own ritual and routine to be very important to my mental wellbeing, and treat that of a pets the same. I believe trust is built through clear, consistent communication. You will receive frequent updates, including photos and detailed reports of our activities, multiple times a day. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease while you're away. I understand the importance of routine for pets. I follow the owner's established schedules for feeding, walks, and playtime as closely as possible, providing consistency and minimizing stress for your pet. I maintain a high standard of cleanliness in my home, with regular cleaning and disinfection of pet areas. When sitting at a client's home, I treat it with the utmost respect, following their house rules and leaving it cleaner than I found it.
About: Hey! My name is Misia and I’m a animal lover. I truly believe that having an furry friend makes a house, a home. I’ve been around dogs and cats all my life. Back in Boston, we have a German shepherd, pitty/mix rescue and a senior yorkie terrier. Believe it or not, the yorkie is the alpha of our pack! Since moving to NJ, it has been hard to not be surrounded by my furr babies. I have plenty of experience in feeding, administering medication and dog walking. Im looking forward to connecting with you! I currently work as a model in NYC. My schedule is very flexible and most days I’m able to easily accommodate a variety of hours needed. I view my pets as family, that level of love and care would translate into every client’s dog/cat. I’m very respectful, responsible and reliable and would treat your furr baby as I would my own.
About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 16, and it’s become a true passion of mine! I've lived with dogs of all kinds my whole life—from Chows and cattle dogs to huskies, mutts, and more. I'm extremely active and love going on walks, hikes, and adventures with dogs. I’m a big believer in positive reinforcement and focus on creating a happy, stress-free experience for every dog I care for. I have experience with dogs who have anxiety, aggressive behaviors, or are a bit anti-social, and I’m a pro with puppy training, too. Whether it's playtime, exercise, or cuddles, I’m here to make sure your pup is comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Nothing scares me off—I love animals of all kinds! Full-time college student here! My courses are fully remote and asynchronous, so I’m home with the pets all day and have a super flexible schedule! I’d love to stay in your home and care for your dogs, cats, or other pets! I'm dedicated to keeping the space clean and safe, and I'm always attentive to each pet's mood and needs. I use a positive reinforcement approach and am great at creating a calm, comfortable environment, whether playing, cuddling, or just hanging out. Your pets will be in good hands with me, receiving all the love and attention they deserve!
“Alyssa is always dependable and goes above and beyond to make sure our cats are cared for. I trust her in my home and feel so fortunate we found her. Having a reliable pet sitter makes travel easier!”
About: I’ve been around horses, cows, chickens, cats and dogs since I was young! My childhood dog was an American Eskimo whom I loved so dearly! I have availability during the week which gives me time to care for your pet and I’m able to give them my full undivided attention. I have no pets at my apartment but I plan on it once I have a house with enough space to create a safe space for them. I will consider how your pet is taken care of, your expectations and respect them and your boundaries when caring for a pet.
About: I have loved dogs since I can remember, and I simply cannot get enough of them! I am very attentive, and would love to take care of your dog! I have been walking and caring for dogs for over five years. I have an avid love of houseplants as well, so if you need me to take care of your houseplants too, I'm your gal! I can truly say that a life without dogs is no life at all, and one thing I've learned is that all dogs are special in their own way. I have a dog of my own, and he's my pride and joy! A very respectful and cuddly boy whom I love very much. If you board your dog with us, they will be sure to have a great time! My husband and I have great dog energy, and our dog has not met a dog he didn't get along with! I'm currently working part time on Broadway and have a pretty consistent schedule. Occasionally I get called in last minute, but I know about most of my schedule in advance usually. I have a male dog that is very friendly and outgoing. If you need your dog to get a little bit of socialization, then having a stay at my place would be a great way to achieve that! Go take that weekend off that you've been thinking about. My husband and I are extremely experienced in dog behavior, and can provide proper mental and physical stimulation in the form of engaged playtime, park visits, pack walks, and obedience drills!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Edgewater
William was fantastic with Cozy, my reactive dog in active training. He followed his protocols to a T, kept him calm through a minor trigger, made sure he stayed hydrated on a warm day, and left a detailed note after the visit. Exactly the kind of attentive, communicative walker a dog with special needs requires. Highly recommend!
Leta is a life saver for our family! We have two dogs, one is an 8 month old puppy and a 9 year old dachshund with mobility issues and she handles them both with love and care. We trust her implicitly and she treats our pets like they are family-thank you, Leta!
Joseph did a drop-in visit for my dog, Lobster, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. He was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure Lobster was comfortable and well looked after. I appreciated the updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Lobster seemed happy, relaxed, and well cared for when I got home, which says a lot. It's obvious that Joseph has a natural way with dogs and takes his responsibilities seriously. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and I would gladly book with him again.
Nicole did a fantastic job! She was friendly, communicative, and took great care of our newly adopted puppy. Nicole asked great questions and took directions well, and I feel so happy to know we can go out and have someone we can trust to give our puppy the love and care he needs! Would absolutely book again!
Wen was just amazing to work with during my family vacation! It was the first long vacation we’ve ever had because we worried about our fur babies. But after met Wen before booking, she was knowledgeable and professional for dog and cat. She send us lot of pictures and comments if needed and always arrived the time we were discussed. We will definitely ask her later to care our fur family! Thank you so much for your work and care. 🙏

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 Edgewater 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.

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.

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.
