“Claire did a great job taking care of our cats and breaded dragon. I was away for two weeks, she looked after everyone very well, she always made sure to update me and send pictures. Both cat’s and bearded dragon tank are clean when I come back. She is very responsible. I would highly recommended.”

“Diane and Dave are trustworthy, thoughtful caregivers of our dog, Terry, who checked in w updates and questions and took his medical needs and the summer heat seriously. They gave him lots of loving attention, and we returned home to a happy dog! We’re so pleased to have met them and plan to rely on them for our next trip!”

“Jessica was great to work with. Before we booked her, she came by to meet our pups, which immediately put our minds at ease. She communicated well throughout her visits and sent pictures, which we really appreciated. Knowing our dogs were happy and well cared for made being away so much easier. We would definitely recommend her and look forward to working with her again.”


About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 8. I am especially experienced with high-energy breeds: Dogs who love to pull or walk quickly are no problem for me! I have experience with basic dog training such as leash manners, house breaking, and simple tricks. I currently have a pretty flexible schedule. My only fixed commitments are on weekdays from 8:30 am to 9:30 am and 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm. In all my interactions with your pets, I will prioritize their safety and comfort. I know how to recognize when your dog is saying "No, thank you," and I am committed to respecting that communication. Additionally, I will pay close attention to your pets and let you know if they show signs of illness.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, horses and more through pet sitting, dog walking, and volunteering as an Animal Therapy Assistant. I’ve worked with a variety of pets, maintained regular communication with owners, and always make sure animals are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m dependable, organized, and patient, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. My experience as a nanny, camp coach, and small business owner has strengthened my responsibility, communication, and ability to handle different situations with confidence. I’ll care for your pet with the same attention and love I would give my own. I’m a college student home for the summer, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I occasionally babysit and pet sit, but I have plenty of availability for drop-in visits, dog walking, and overnight care. I also care for my own dog, Lola, every day, so I’m used to maintaining a consistent routine and making sure pets get the attention, exercise, and affection they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I’ll follow your instructions carefully to help them feel secure while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or stopping by for visits, I’ll provide plenty of attention, playtime, fresh water, meals, and updates so you can have peace of mind. I treat every pet with the same love and care that I give my own dog, Lola.
About: Hi pet parents! I love all animals and specifically dogs so much. I have my own pup, Missy, who is 12 years old, and I fostered my second baby, Annie, until she was adopted! If you trust me with your pet, I promise they will be in good hands! I am available all weekdays and most weekend days! I am available in the morning, afternoon, and night time! Let me know when works for you! Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I provide attentive, reliable care, follow all owner instructions, maintain secure leash handling, and ensure every walk is safe, fun, and tailored to your dog's needs.

About: Hi I’m Angelica, i’ve owned so many dogs throughout my life from tiny dogs to big dogs, I currently have two of my own dogs and walk them every day as is, I would love to go on walks with other dogs as well and get some exorcise in with your dogs as well! I adore all sorts of animals! I’m a high school senior, so I get out of school anywhere from 12-1 which is early, so anytime after that I can come walk dogs or take care of cats or whatever is needed of me to do. I do not allow animals in my house but I can come to your house and walk your dog or check on the cat whenever is needed.
About: I’ve had animals ever since I was a child. It’s made me grow up to love them and would do anything for one in need. I’ve rescued multiple off the streets(including rabbits lol). I have my own pets whom are all rescues that I love so much. I only work nights on the weekends. I would love to have something to do involving animals during the days while my kids are in school. Fenced yard. Animal lover home. I also have friendly pets to give your fur baby some companionship while over but also have enough space if that’s not what they like.

About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life. My grandparents always had labs, and when I was 9 years old, my family got a boxer named Bailey. Since then, I have been actively involved in caring for dogs and understanding how much love, patience, and attention they need. As I got older, I began dog sitting for neighbors, family friends, and people they connected me with. I have experience with overnight stays both in my home and in the owner’s home, as well as feeding, walks, playtime, giving medication, and keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. I have cared for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need frequent potty breaks and help settling down, to senior dogs who need extra patience, comfort, and support. My own dog Bailey recently passed away after living with Canine Degenerative Myelopathy, which slowly caused her to lose control of her back legs. In her final months, I helped care for her by getting her into her wheelchair, lifting her when she needed help going to the bathroom or eating, cleaning up accidents, and doing everything I could to make sure she felt safe, loved, and comfortable. What sets me apart is that I truly see pets as family. I know caring for them is not just about feeding them or letting them outside. I love spending extra time playing with them, giving them pets, and making sure they feel loved and relaxed. Our pets spend so much of their day waiting for our attention, so I always try to make that time special for them. I will treat your pets like they are my own. Since losing Bailey, I am especially grateful for any opportunity to care for other animals and give them the same love, patience, and attention that I gave her. I am currently a rising junior at Emory University, majoring in Biology on the pre-physician assistant track. This summer, I am working part-time as a medical assistant, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pets. On days I am not working, I can provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I can also provide overnight stays in your home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I will carefully follow all instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medication, crate routines, and any special care your pet needs. I make sure pets get more than just basic care. I love spending time playing with them, giving them attention, and making them feel safe and loved while you are away. I am also very respectful of your home and will clean up after your pet, properly dispose of any accidents, wipe muddy paws, and leave your home the way I found it. I am very observant and will pay attention to changes in behavior, eating habits, bathroom habits, or anything that seems unusual. I am happy to send updates and photos so you feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and cared for like my own.

About: When your fur baby is with me, they are treated exactly like family. I strictly follow any instructions you leave behind and will provide regular photo updates for your peace of mind with whichever service you decide to book. Going away on Vacation? I am located only 5 minutes away from EWR Newark Airport for close drop off & pick up. I do have one older pet in my home that does not interact with any pets that come for boarding or day care. 🏡 For Boarding (Small Dogs up to 40 lbs): Because I work from home at the moment full-time, your pup will never be lonely! We will have days packed with fun, including plenty of playtime in my fully fenced backyard, exciting car rides to a beautiful local park, and cozy movie-night cuddles. I specialize in smaller pets to ensure they get the dedicated space and attention they deserve. I currently have open availability! 🥰 Because I am fully dedicated to helping others care for their dogs, pet care is my daily routine! My day is entirely structured around the needs of the pups in my care. Mornings start early with fresh water, breakfast, and a neighborhood walk to stretch our legs. Throughout the day, I maintain a consistent schedule of potty breaks, lots of play time, and plenty of love. Whether you are at work or on vacation, your pup is my top priority from sunrise to bedtime. I love letting your fur babies outside to burn off their energy, and when it's time to wind down, I'm always ready for lots of playtime and cuddles. In my home, I have a fenced yard in my apartment for pets who will stay the day with me.

About: My family recently adopted a yorkie puppy, and I’ve loved getting to know him and taking care of him. He requires a lot of attention, which I am able to provide. My favorite things are taking him on walks around the neighborhood and playing with his toys with him. I have several dog walking clients in the neighborhood and have a puppy that I do routine drop-in visits for! I have extremely open availability, as I am a college student home for the summer taking classes. I’m available to house-sit, dog walk, or do drop-in visits, whatever accommodates your schedule! :) At my house we have gates that keep the puppy out of places that are hazardous for him. In clients houses I’ll follow whatever guidelines present! If needed I can take any dogs on walks or play with them while pet sitting!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fanwood
If you need someone to take care of your furry family members, look no further. Layne took care of our dog Pepper for the week. She dropped in 3x a day and was very punctual. Layne was reliable, and stayed in communication by sending photos and texts on each visit. Ensured Pepper was fed, had plenty of water, gave treats, and allergy medication. During a really bad rain storm, the streets were flooded and undriveable at the time of a visit. Layne kept us up to date and was able to make it later that evening. It gives us peace of mind that Pepper was well taken care of while we are away!

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

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.
