“Emily is amazing! She met my dog the day before his walk/feeding to help get acquainted with him and I showed her where all of his things are. Which I really appreciated. She texted me updates and confirmed details about the visit. She was so sweet and empathetic towards Mylo. I am thankful for her availability since my schedule is so busy. Overall 10/10. We are thankful to have her as our new dog walker :)”
About: Ever since I was a kid, I wanted a pet. My parents never let me so I would take care of my neighbor and friend’s pets. I would enjoy taking them on walks and playing with them. I did everything to ensure they were given the care they needed and deserved. I loved the dogs as if they were my own. That’s why I would love to be given the chance to take care of your best friend while you’re away. My experience has taught me that every dog has different needs and I will gladly cater to the needs of every dog that crosses my path. After caring for so many dogs, I decided to get my own. I have learned so much from my dog and know what it’s like to care for a dog 24/7. I will treat your dog like my own and give the best care I can. I currently work hybrid and only have to go to the office twice a week. My schedule is pretty flexible so I can try my best to work around your needs. I live in an apartment near Battery Park with plenty of areas for dogs to walk. There’s also a few dog parks nearby. My puppy is playful and would love to keep your dog(s) company. I also have gates to separate dogs if needed. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to work around yours. I am at home most of the time because my job is hybrid. I have plenty of free time to play and walk your dog(s). I live in an apartment community that is dog friendly and has many surrounding parks. Dogs are allowed to play around my apartment and allowed on furniture. My job is to make your dog(s) feel comfortable.
“Joni is just amazing!! Our pup Milo loves Joni. She walks Milo 3 days a week and helps us out in a pinch. We get great updates from her. She’s helped Milo learn how to go on little bike runs with her and tires our little boy out when needed! She’s also so patient with Milo. We love her and recommend her for all your puppy needs :))))”
“Tasnuva did a fantastic job on taking care of our cat and keep the place tidy and clean! She took care of our cat well that our cat doesn't seem stressed at all and moreover she was very happy 😊 I highly recommend her and she does the best!!”
“Ray has been great with Oakley, he’s always excited to see her. She sends pictures and makes sure he has a good walk. Ray is reliable and responsive and I would suggest her over and over again.”
“Neide was absolutely fantastic taking care of our two cats while we were on vacation! I really appreciated getting videos of the cats and was happy to see them snuggling and playing with her from the start. Neide did a great job giving them wet and dry food, changing their water, and scooping their box every day. I will definitely be using Neide again in the future!”

About: Pet care experience: I’ve been taking care of my own dog for over 3 years, but my love for dogs goes back more than 30 years. When I was in middle school, I spent two summers caring for my neighbor’s dog, and I’ve continued to care for friends’ dogs ever since—including recently dog sitting for a friend while they were on their honeymoon. Whether it’s going on long walks, giving oral medications, or providing gentle care for senior dogs, I always treat every dog like they’re my own. What sets me apart: I genuinely love dogs and always take the time to understand their unique personalities and needs. I’m detail-oriented, patient, and fully committed to keeping your pet safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m comfortable with puppies in training, senior dogs, and pets who may need a little extra attention. With a flexible schedule and a calm, loving approach, I make sure your dog feels at home—even when they're not. My partner and I both work from home during the week, so your pet will have plenty of company and attention throughout the day. On weekends, we occasionally go out during the day, but we’re usually home in the evenings to relax—perfect for cozying up with a furry friend. Our flexible routine allows us to adapt to your pet’s needs, whether it’s regular walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. In our home, your dog will be treated like family. We create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment, free of hazards and with plenty of cozy spots to rest. I always follow any specific care instructions you provide, from feeding schedules to medications and routines. We make sure walks are safe with secure harnesses and leashes, and we never leave pets unattended outdoors. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities, and I’ll always keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can feel at ease while you're away.
“Deb has been walking our dog Creasy for a few months now. She's reliable, flexible, and a great communicator. She's exactly what you want in a dog walker/sitter. We couldn't be happier. Thanks Deb!!!”
“Jessica took great care of my two cats while I was away for the weekend. She gave them lots of play and affection, kept them well fed and watered, and kept the litter box clean. She even left a homemade cat toy for them!”
“Day 1 leaving our puppy home by herself was such an easy good day because of Durell. 🥰 She’s timely,‘communicative, loving, and very helpful/does anything I suggest or ask of her. Will keep using Durell & Michael again and again for our pup, Scoobie… She loves Durell, as well!”
About: My love for animals started early in life when I decided to rescue a kitten off the streets when I was 10 years old. I went on to rescue one more cat while living with my parents and after moving out was finally able to get a dog. In the last 20 years, I’ve owned and fostered numerous dogs of all kinds. I love being in the company of animals, something about their presence makes me feel whole. I’m currently trying to make my passion, my full time job. This sallows me to be freed up with a lot of availability to take care of your furry children. I will not be offering these services at this time. But in the future if this is offered, any and all dogs will be treated as if they were my own.
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was very young. Friends and family have always trusted me with caring for their pets because they know i can provide a great environment and a great time! I am currently doing school online, which gives me the freedom to also play and care for your pups full time! I am always available for a furry friend companion. In my home, I have a large fenced yard for them to run around and play. I also have an inground pool for those swimming pups in the summer time. In your home, I will do whatever you ask of me in caring for your pets because your comfort is the most important!
“Lehan took good care of my baby and she was very kind to accommodate the last minute request. We really appreciate it! She also followed our care instructions! I recommend booking with her and will definitely rebook!”
“Kevin dropped in with short notice, was very responsive and helped us feel at ease on a busy day knowing our pup would get some attention and a nice break. A plus for our dog was that he got to play his favorite game. Thanks Kevin!”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of many breeds and sizes . I am Patient with animals and have a background in social work I’m currently working from home so I’m open to drop off during the day and boarding during the weekends. I’m open to pick ups during the weekends and walks. I have a small fence backyard and a four year-old Jack Russell who is very friendly and playful. Your pup will never be bored that’s for sure
About: I’ve always had a huge soft spot for animals and truly treat every pet like family. I have two cats that I’ve loved and cared for for the past six years, and I previously had a Yorkie for seven years. I also regularly pet sit my friend’s bulldog whenever he travels, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. Animals are precious, adorable, and deserve to feel safe, loved, and comfortable—especially when their owners are away. Your pet will get plenty of attention, affection, and care with me! I have a consistent schedule working 7am-4pm M-F that allows me to plan pet care around my daily routine. I’m available for scheduled visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I’m also happy to work with pet parents to maintain the routine their pets are already comfortable with. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, litter care, and any special routines. I’m patient and attentive, and I understand that every animal has a different personality. I’ll respect their boundaries, give them plenty of love and attention, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I have a home with a private yard and a pet friendly neighborhood with plenty of places to go for walks.
About: I have been working with dogs for a lot of my life. I've owned two German Shepherds, Two Huskies and a Beagle Dachshund mix so I have dealt with a variety of different dogs. I worked for the Shelby Humane Society for almost 2 years helping animals get adopted. I put my all into caring for animals because it's something I love to do and i love dogs and cats or pretty much any animal for that matter so much so that I treat them like my own children. Your dogs are in good hands with me and no matter what after you receive my services you will be coming back for more. Have a great day everyone and I can't wait to meet your Furry Friends. I'm currently working with a gig agency so I work on my own schedule which gives me plenty of time to spend with your Furry Friends. I have a fenced yard with plenty of space for your furry friends to run around and exercise. I also have two energetic children who love animals just as much as I do and they will give your furry friend just as much love as I will give them while they are inside my home because any animal that comes into my house is treated like my own child and like a member of my family. I'm also a certified license Advanced EMT so I have medical training under my belt for both animals and humans alike and that is another way that I will make sure your fur babies are completely safe while inside my home and in my neighborhood.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Elizabeth
Priscilla was great with my dog! She was communicative and sent pictures during the visit. My dog loved her form the second she walked in the door! Priscilla also was understanding of my dog being a senior pup and having diabetes. Although she did not have to administer insulin during her drop in, she was very accepting that my dog was on a specific diet. I would absolutely recommend Priscilla to anyone!!
Alison was amazing with my puppy! She was reliable, caring, and very attentive to all of his needs. She followed all of the instructions I left and kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and made sure he was happy and comfortable. I would definitely recommend Alison and will absolutely book with her again!
I was in search of a trust worthy and reliable dog sitter and lucky Rover sent Lexy and I Akshay! Super friendly, flexible, and reliable. The most important factor is that Lexy feels comfortable and safe with him! We look forward to many more walks and home stays.
Amazing communication let’s start with that! Naomi has been great with communicating with us via the app and giving us updates while she’s spending time with our new puppy cali! She gives us tips and tricks on training cali and answers any questions we may have since we are new dog owners. Naomi is great and we’ll definitely be booking her again!
Cristian and Anderson have been great! We recently moved nearby, and our dog can be reactive with anyone she doesn't know (a rescue dog), and she takes some meet and greets to get comfortable with new folks. Both Cristian and Anderson made time to meet with us, and after another greeting, our dog became very excited and happy to see them! Since then, they have helped us with taking Nyla out for walks when we are at work. They are prompt, send pictures of their walk, and provide a report card of how the walk went. They have been reliable and trustworthy. I would definitely recommend them, and we will definitely continue booking them!
Kethely is such a sweetheart and was amazing with our baby pomsky! She was such a big help when we needed someone for drop in visits while on vacation. She always sends daily videos and pictures so that we were constantly updated on how our puppy was doing, and it gave us peace of mind knowing the good care our fur baby was in. We would definitely rebook with her and highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable caring pet sitter!
Joanne was AMAZING with our lil ones. We never had someone come over to take care of them other than close family, so we were a little worried but Joanne gave us the confidence with excellent communication, always on time and sending us pictures. Thanks to her we were able to enjoy our vacation! We appreciate it so much. We will definitely be booking again. Super highly recommended!
Paula was responsive and responsible during the booking and meeting process. I have a 12 week old poodle. He has lots of unbridled puppy energy. he is really just learning how to walk on a leash.. Paula was very patient getting the leash and harness on him as well as walking him. I do appreciate that. I would recommend Paula and I would use her for future walks once my dog matures thank you.👍🏽🙌🏽🙏
Ashley did stop in visits and walks several times a day for 5 days while I was away and I felt so at ease knowing she was going to be taking care of my furr babies. She is so patient, loving and affectionate with them they love her presence. I am so happy I have found such an amazing sitter who I can count on. I would recommend her if you are looking for a sitter!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Elizabeth 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 .
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 .
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.

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 , 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.
