About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years and love every minute of it! I also have experience fostering dogs for many years, which has taught me how to help them feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I enjoy giving dogs the attention and care they need while their family is away. As a stay-at-home mom, my schedule is very flexible, allowing me to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. I have years of experience with dogs and love making sure each one feels comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. With a secure fenced yard, years of fostering experience, and two friendly resident pups, your furry friend will feel right at home, loved, safe, and cared for. 🐾❤️

About: Dog lover and proud Cockapoo mom! I have a 4-year-old Cockapoo and grew up with dogs, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’m home all day and can provide 2–3 walks, playtime, attention, and plenty of cuddles. Your dog will be treated like family and cared for in a safe, loving environment. I’m home all day and have a flexible schedule, so your dog will not be left alone. I provide 2–3 walks daily, regular potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day We live in a clean, pet-friendly townhouse with a small backyard. While the yard is not fenced, all outdoor time is supervised, and dogs receive regular walks throughout the day.
“Carly was fantastic! Moose was so happy to be there - went on a nice walk in the morning and playtime in during the day. He was wiped when he got home and a happy boy! He is going back tomorrow!! Highly recommend”
“Michelle came through for us at the last minute when we needed a sitter for our two dogs on Christmas Eve. She made us feel totally at ease leaving our pups with her and sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the stay! She’s a great sitter - I recommend!”
“Rachel was an amazing host for our Cleo. She made sure to know any special needs of our dog and also has a house that is very pet friendly. Lots of beds and toys for the pups to play with. Our dog loves the company of other dogs so her and Rachel’s dog got along like sisters. Rachel was kind enough to plan a day of activities for Cleo, taking her to a few dog parks and a nature walk (Rachel sends photos often so you can be aware of what they are up to). Cleo was happy and exhausted from the good time she had at Rachel’s and we all know a tired dog is a happy dog and care taker. Will be looking forward to having Cleo stay with Rachel again when we’re in the area.”
“Linda is very sweet and she took great care of Teddy! I know he had a blast with her and her dog, who is also very friendly. I loved the cute pics that Linda sent during the stay.”

“Anmol and Trupti took excellent care of Bella! They sent me pictures of her throughout the day and kept me updated on how she was doing. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone to watch their fur baby! They treated her like one of their own!”
“Karen was just wonderful babysitting our blind, 12-year-old miniature dachshund. Her house is cozy and perfectly set up to accommodate small dogs. Karen sent us pictures of Tater during the afternoon to let us know he was doing fine. We will definitely entrust our precious dog to her care again. Highly recommend!”
“A GODSEND. We call Kathy’s place “Resort de la Vizsla” and my pup Frannie has the BEST DAYS EVER there. Kathy has been more than kind to me and Frannie with drop off and pick up hours, as I work long days at Jersey Shore Med. If you’re a nurse or work in the area this is THE BEST!!! I know my pup is loved, cared for and get pictures to show all the snuggles and snacks. If you’re nervous about finding a good sitter… look no further!!!! You found HEAVEN.”
About: My friends, family and neighbors have always looked to me when needing someone trustworthy and reliable to stop by and watch their furbaby. I truly am an animal lover, having experience with all different kinds of pets such as dogs, cats, rodents and exotics! Age is not a problem for me, I actually currently have a 17 year old cat amongst other pets! I am very experienced and able to provide age appropriate care whether that would be for your puppies, kittens, or senior pets. I also have personal experience providing for disabled cats and would love to aid in any way I can! As a student, I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care! I am able to provide dog-walking services or drop in visits for any pet between the hours of 6am to 3pm Everyday of the week excluding Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays for my classes. My pets are my world and so my home is filled with a variety of toys, treats, and even more for all kinds of pets. On drop in visits, I like to go above and beyond by bringing some gifts like treats or toys to surprise my new friend and help build the relationship, however I’ll always make sure run these over with you first! I currently live in a apartment across the street from a beautiful park with my friendly cats! The space is rather large with extra room I can use for boarding, if you would like your for your pet to be kept separate or crated, as well. Although, I don’t mind making them feel like we’re just having a sleepover either!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Farmingdale commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NJ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 .
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.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,038 sitters in Farmingdale, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
