About: I’ve grown up around animals and have always loved them.I’m always interacting with animals big and small so am willing to take any of your pets. I’ve been caring for animals my whole life along with having 2 cats of my own. I have a full time job so I will have availability around my work schedule! I am usually available anytime on Tuesday’s and Wednesdays and am available Monday after 3. I can make availability other days around my schedule if needed. . In my home we have 2 indoor cats. I rescued them when they were 4 weeks old and left abandoned. I’ve raised them since then from bottle feeding, to working through feral tendencies and now they’re almost 2 years old! If your pet needs anything just let me know!
“Timothy is hands down the best dog walker Ollie has had. He takes him on actual walks, gives him so much care and attention, and Ollie absolutely loves him. He gets excited every time he hears Timothy is coming! The trust piece is huge for me, and I fully trust Timothy with Ollie. Highly recommend.”

“Michelle was great and willing to extend my dogs stay by a few hours with short notice. She sent lots of pictures and kiko couldn’t have been happier.. I would use her again anytime…5stars”

About: I have pet-sat & walked the dogs of my friends & neighbors, from small to large, easier to more challenging. I have experience taking care of cats from kittens to seniors, & with administering medication. I also have personal & pet-sitting experience with smaller animals like ferrets, guinea pigs, & hamsters. I am a college student, so during the week I am available at select times in between or after classes, and on Saturdays I am available all day. I do not board in my home, but in your home, I would be able to walk, feed, play with, & clean up after your pet.
“Joseph's calm demeanor immediately put our dog, Seven, at comfort. She is sometimes skiddish around new people and previous dog walkers had a tough time with even getting her to walk around the house. She's taken to him very quickly and now is someone we can rely upon to help take care of Seven.”


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’ve had cats ever since i was little, ranging from 2 cats all the way to 5 at the moment. I work with dogs ranging from small to large (10-100 lbs) as well as age differences puppy to seniors. I am trained in bathing dogs as that is my current job. I grew up around cats, dogs, reptiles, and small rodents. I knew that animals were my “thing” ever since I was little and I would treat any animal I meet as my own. I work 5 days a week (monday-tuesday, thursday-saturday). I am available Wednesday and Sundays from 8:30am - 6pm. If other days or times are needed please reach out to me, we can always arrange something! Unfortunately I cannot take in any pets as I do have 5 cats of my own and I do live with my parents. I would treat any persons pet the same way I would treat my own.
“Max is fantastic! Great communication and observant of Nox’s needs. He overheats quickly and Max was considerate to ask if he is ok or if he should end the walk early. Much appreciated will book again 😁”

Whether it’s a sunrise walk, midday check in or extra cuddles, I love fitting pet care right into my daily routine! I live in a 3 bedroom apartment with my roommate. I am able to crate your dog if needed but am also able to keep them company during the work day! Likewise, if I am watching a dog at someone else’s home, I always make sure to keep the house tidy. Long walks with your pet are always a must, along with lots of play times!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Farmingdale
Shoshana was simply amazing! Our family was always kept at ease while away on our vacation. Shoshana was always sending pictures and updates while with the pups. We never felt like we were missing out on the fun or worrying whether our pups were engaged enough. They…were…SPOILED! 🩷 We will absolutely be seeing Shoshana again!

Sarah was great! Since this was going to be our first visit with her, she came over before to meet our puppy and they hit it off great. Without going into details, during the actual walk visit, she went above and beyond. We will definitely be using her again and recommend her to others..

Carys was great with Harley! She always gave her long walks, was super kind, responsible, and easy to talk to. Communication was always great and I always felt comfortable knowing Harley was in good hands. You can tell she really cares about the dogs she works with. I would definitely recommend her!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Farmingdale. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Farmingdale after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Farmingdale. On Rover:
- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise

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.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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 walker.
