About: I've taken care of dogs and cats my whole life! Looking for some pets to take care of in the Monmouth County area. I am a college student at Monmouth University but I am looking to help out any fur babies in my free time. I finished up my 4th season of soccer with Monmouth University and now with my added free time I would like to help out anyone in need. I live in a welcoming home with a lot of girls who love all types of animals. I am willing to make any accommodations to make your pets feel safe!
“Keith and his wife Jennifer are amazing with my greyhounds and my greys truly love them. They are a special breed and former racers, so they have some personalities. They always come back so content and happy. They are previous dog owners of large breeds, so I feel very comfortable to leave my sticks with them. Highly recommend.”
“Angelica took amazing care of our puppa. It was the first time going away since we got him. She was wonderful with communication with us which helped ease our worry. She treated our puppa like one of her own. She is wonderful!”
“She was amazing ! She took care of my dog yaya , walked her , bathed her , was very sweet to her and made her feel at home , she went out of her way above and beyond of what I was expecting , she even went out and spent her own money on pads my dog needed , I couldn’t make it on the day I was suppose to pick her up and she pushed her schedule to take care of her another extra day , she is decently someone I will continue to use , she was great and I felt really comstarable knowing yaya was with her and that’s a rare thing”
About: Since birth, I have lived with absolutely different animals and I believe that a house without an animal has no soul. I had an experience with a newborn puppy who was thrown out at birth, I fed him from a bottle when his eyes were not yet open, nursed him until three months and found him a loving and permanent family. Once I tamed a cat who was abandoned, offended by street cats and in the end he found salvation for himself in the form of my family and currently still lives with my family. For me, animals are not just a thing in the house, but an equal member of the family, created for respect and love. Now I don't work and have the opportunity to spend day and night with your pet. At certain times I can be away, this is discussed on the fact Our building has a fenced yard, and in our apartment lives a little man of 3 years old, who loves animals and will be the best company for them. Also in our house there is love, mutual understanding and respect for each other and the guests of our house.
“Megan was great! We received pictures and updates throughout the trip, and our pugs seemed right at home. The came home happy and pooped from a fun stay. Would book again!”
“Jacqueline was my first dog sitter via Rover App I went through the reviews and i decided to have her take care of my dog. She was very professional, friendly and honest looking . I left my dog with her for 2 weeks, she took very good care of it. She sent me daily updates and pictures. She even gave my dog a bath. It is not just her who loves pets but her family as well. Thank God I made the right choice. Anyone needs a decent and conscientious person. Jacqueline is the go to person. Thanks Jacqueline.”
“Thai and his family took care of my dog for 2 weeks. They responded promptly to my inquiry about their availability and answered questions that I had about modifying my booking. All throughout my dog's stay, they sent me pictures of him and even took him on a few park adventures! He was kept cool during NYC's heat wave and I was glad to see get regular updates about what my dog was up to. I came home earlier than expected and was able to arrange an earlier pick-up. Thank you so much for taking good care of my dog and will reach out in the future if I need additional dog sitting.”
“Our dog Augie had a great stay! We received lots of pictures and updates throughout his stay, and it looked like he had so much fun. He would definitely love to stay again.”
“Kevin was great with our Aussiedoodle Kruk. Kruk is 1 years old and very high puppy energy. He kept him busy walked him 3 times a day and took amazing care of him. When we went to pick him up he was happy as can be like we never left! Couldn’t ask for more. We got daily pictures and food updates. I will definitely be using Kevin in the future.”
“Alyssa was so professional and truly an amazing sitter. Olive had a tough time adjusting this weekend and Alyssa made the best of the situation at every turn. I'm so thankful to her for watching after Olive and really making sure she was happy even after she had acted up early in the stay. I would recommend Alyssa to anyone needing any kind of assistance with their dogs.”
“Elizabeth and her mom took excellent care of our Italian greyhound while we were away for a week. She’s a great communicator, and our dog was so relaxed and happy when we picked him up.”
“Tallin was a truly wonderful dogsitter! I've left my dog with very few sitters before, so I was a bit anxious about leaving him with a stranger, but Tallin put me right at ease with twice-daily updates and lots of photos. I will absolutely try to book with her again next time I need a sitter!”
“Another great stay for Boomer with Karen. So grateful for her care. He really enjoyed being part of her little pack and even returned home wearing a jaunty patriotic bandana! 😎”
“Tina was unbelievable! You can tell how much she loves dogs and cared for our dog so well! Our dog went on so many great walks and outings! Highly recommend! Couldn’t be happier with Tina’s care and updates everyday!”
“I can't recommend Victoria highly enough! From the very beginning, she was reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. It was clear that my dog was treated like family, and I received regular updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She went above and beyond to make sure my dog's routine was maintained and that all of their needs were met. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable to care for your pet, I would absolutely recommend Victoria. I'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“I really couldn’t ask for a more caring and attentive person to care for my dog while we took a two week trip abroad. Camey created a home away from home for my dog and went the extra mile to ensure he was comfortable and loved. I so grateful for the wonderful care he had while we were away and would 100% book again with Camey.”
“Patrice and her family are so good to my nervous little boy! He is anxious to be away from me but loves Patrice so much that he greets her with the happiest of tails.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Highlands
Our sweet rescue beagle suffers from a tough past which undoubtedly led to his separation anxiety. My husband and I wanted to take a 12 hour trip to Bear Mountain via Seastreak. We were concerned leaving him with someone new for such a long duration. However, upon meeting Krystal my fears were allayed. She is everything one can ask for to entrust your beloved pet: patient, energetic, compassionate and considerate. Our boy came back content, relaxed snd tired. He also got along beautifully with her dog Kilo. And, our beagle even came home with a goodie bag of organic homemade treats—-star treatment. Thanks Krystal for a wonderful day for our pet and his owners.

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 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 Meet & Greet.
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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
