“Ryan and Shannon are amazing!!! I contacted them very last minute to do a meet and greet and walk our pittie, Dakoda, and they were so responsive and flexible and accommodating! You can tell they just genuinely love animals and Dakoda loved them! Will 100% be asking them to walk Dakoda in the future 😊 Thanks guys!!!”
“Brianna was very kind to my dogs and made sure I came home to no accidents! With the warm weather we’ve been having she was kind enough to modify our walking routine to make sure the dogs were comfortable, has followed typical feeding schedules, and adjusted to my youngest dog’s needs through his medical issues. I am happy to recommend her as a reliable pet sitter for anyone in need”

About: Diagnosed with allergies in childhood, I didn’t have pets until in my 20s, when I picked a week-old kitten from a litter & raised him. Thelonious used to walk between my shoulders as I moved around the house, and slept in my bed. Friends told me he behaved more like a dog than a cat—very affectionate. We were very close. His death broke my heart & I still miss him. Seven years ago, I did cat-sitting for a friend whose apartment in NYC I stayed in for a summer while working nearby on Varick Street. He was a very easygoing cat. Years later, my stepson left his dogs at our house & I was their primary minder. I fed, walked & played with them every day. Although I’d been around dogs a lot growing up, it’s one thing to be around them & another to be responsible for them & develop relationships with them. Each of the dogs had a very distinct personality, and I found them fascinating. Through those & other experiences with friends’ pets, I’ve found that I’m able to make connections with animals that go beyond words. I never would have imagined such a thing in childhood. These days I do house sitting & drop-ins for clients in Monmouth, Mercer & Middlesex Counties. I’m tending to pets with a wide range of needs & dispositions, and love I give is more than equaled by the love I receive from them. I’m truly humbled & in awe. Professionally, I managed desktop publishing & automated publishing for a Fortune 500 financial firm for 20 years. So I have a long track record of responsibility & discipline. That combination of sensitivity & responsibility are what I bring to pet sitting. I only accept clients living within a 30-minute drive from my home, and my routines at home are easily adaptable to meet my clients’ needs. That means my highly flexible schedule allows me to provide your cat with the consistent time, routine, and attention they deserve while you are gone. I don’t rush my check-ins; I stay the full duration to ensure your pet gets plenty of physical play and mental stimulation. Because my hours are highly adaptable, I can drop in at the exact times your pet expects breakfast, dinner, or treats. I’m happy to take photos during my stay to enable you as the pet owner to feel secure about your pet’s care in your absence. I like to play with & talk to pets, and try to adhere to their normal routines, so they, too, feel comfortable in your absence.
About: I've taken care of pets for my friends and also volunteered at a nearby shelter so I know my way around taking care of animals. I'm currently a student commuting from home with no classes on Fridays and availability on the weekends so on those days I have a pretty flexible schedule to take care of your pet. I could also be free on some weekday mornings depending on the circumstance. I strive to create a fun and safe experience for your pet while I take care of them whether I am walking them or staying with them. I also know how much your pet means to you so I hope to build our trust and give you no reason to worry while I care for your best friend.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and truly love caring for animals. I grew up with three dogs and have years of experience caring for my own pets as well as dogs belonging to friends and family. I’ve also volunteered with animal shelters and at animal-focused events. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I’m happy to provide walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I can care for your dog in my home or come to yours, depending on the service. I’m a full-time teacher, so during the school year I typically work from approximately 8 AM–3 PM. I’m available before and after school, evenings, weekends, and school breaks. On weekends and breaks, I have much more flexibility and can provide around-the-clock care for boarding guests. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pet, and my goal is to make your dog feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. ❤️ I am currently an art teacher working with students k-8. My schedule varies based on the school year. I can have full availability during weekends, summer, and evenings during the school year. have a small fenced-in area as well as a large grassy area perfect for leashed walks and outdoor time. I will always follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, walking needs, and any specific instructions you provide. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority, and they’ll get plenty of attention while in my care.
About: I know how important it is to find someone you truly feel comfortable leaving your pet with. They’re part of your family, and choosing a sitter is a big decision. My goal is to give you the peace of mind that your pet is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’ve been providing pet care for clients for over 5 years and have been a Rover sitter for the past 2.5 years. I’ve also grown up caring for pets throughout my entire life, with about 20 years of experience caring for pets in my family as well as being a cat mom myself now! This gives me a deeper understanding from both perspectives: both the sitter and the owner. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all different ages, personalities, and needs. I really enjoy getting to know each pet individually and learning their routines, quirks, and what makes them feel most comfortable. Whether they’re energetic and love attention, shy and need some time to warm up, or happiest curled up beside you, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I’m very attentive to their care and routines, and I’ll treat your pet with the same patience, kindness, and care I’d want someone to show my own. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so you can see how they’re doing and feel reassured while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your fur babies and hopefully become someone you feel completely comfortable trusting with them! 🐾 I currently have open availability throughout the week. I take some remote classes, and do freelance remote work. Additionally, I do have some other freelance work such as figure skating coaching that will require me to leave the home for 3-4 hours maximum, however if your pet needs constant care that is something we can discuss as well! I care for pets based on the owner’s care sheet and schedule! I can easily adjust my schedule to fit their feeding and walking needs.

About: I’m a responsible Rutgers college student offering dog walking, pet sitting, and drop-ins. I love spending time with animals and will treat your pets like my own while you’re away. I’m available every day on a flexible summer schedule for dog walking, drop-ins, and basic pet care. I’ll keep my availability updated and am happy to discuss your pet’s routine ahead of time to make sure I can provide reliable, consistent care. I take safety and trust seriously and will follow each owner’s instructions carefully. During walks, drop-ins, or stays, I’ll make sure pets have fresh water, proper leash or harness use, potty breaks, and a calm environment. I’m happy to send updates and photos so owners know their pets are doing well.
About: Many years of Dog Care Experience I have decades of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Throughout the years, I have provided loving, dependable care, including feeding, walking, bathing, grooming, administering medications, and maintaining each dog’s daily routine. I understand that every dog is unique and requires patience, attention, exercise, and affection. I am comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, energetic dogs, and dogs with special needs. My priority is always to keep dogs safe, happy, comfortable, and well cared for. With decades of experience, I treat every dog as if they were my own and provide the reliable, compassionate care every pet deserves. I’m a loving, kind, and compassionate person who truly enjoys caring for others. I’ve been a proud grand-dog parent to three wonderful dogs for the past 8 years. My years of experience have taught me the importance of patience, kindness, responsibility, and giving plenty of love and attention. I treat every dog as part of the family and take great pride in making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for your pet. Pets can feel safe and relaxed as I will follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and rest, while giving them plenty of love and attention. When caring for pets in their home, I treat their space with the same respect and care I would give my own. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your beloved pet is in good hands, and I strive to provide dependable, compassionate care and peace of mind for every pet parent.
About: as someone who’s had immense love for animals since i was a kid and is a parent of a high-spirited tabby + a loving yet independent turkish van, i understand the priority in finding personalized + attentive care and i am more than happy to provide that same level of love, care, + safety for your pets :) i believe reliable + loving pet care should be accessible to everyone, which is why i intentionally kept lower rates to offer quality service at a price that fits your budget 💕 Since i recently graduated from college and am taking a gap year in preparation for grad school, i try to maintain a flexible schedule and keep myself as open as i possibly can. however, that does not limit me in caring for your pet(s). i’m happy to work around your specific needs to ensure that your pet is receiving the consistent love, care, + attention they are used to + also giving my clients peace of mind while they are away :) at this time, i am not hosting pets in my home. however, when caring for pets in my client’s home, i will be going according to the client’s preferences + their own routines
About: Hi, I’m Isabella and I’m passionate about providing safe, loving, and reliable care! Your pet’s comfort and well-being are always my top priority, as my experience with a variety of species supports my desire to provide. I currently work at a veterinary hospital, caring for pets of all ages (from babies to seniors) so I’m comfortable handling a wide range of needs. My experience goes beyond work also as I’ve had a variety of pets throughout my life! I’m currently finishing up some summer college credits, which gives me great flexibility for early morning and mid-to-late day check-ins after class. My schedule is consistent week-to-week, so you can count on reliable timing and routine for your pet! I tailor my care to each pet’s routine to keep them as comfortable and stress-free as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely and prioritize any preferences your pet is used to. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you feel confident your pet is in good hands!
“I couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter! Johnathan provided regular updates, including photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog was happy, wait for him , and got plenty of exercise and attention. It’s clear that Johnathan genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel comfortable. I highly recommend Johnathan to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible dog sitter!”


“She was absolutely amazing with my little guy. I could tell from her updates and the photos she sent how much she genuinely cared about him. She showed up on time every day and always let me know how he was doing. Seeing his little face while I was away made me so happy, and I felt completely comfortable leaving him in her care. I’m so grateful for the love and attention she gave him, and I’d trust her with him again in a heartbeat.”

“Rita is always great! She always makes a last minute request or a special request work. Even when our puppy doesn't feel like walking much she adapts on the fly to make sure she still gets enough attention & care. Always generous with the communication and amount of photos taken while taking care of our puppy. Rita is great!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hightstown
Tom was not only willing to step in and cover for my regularly scheduled dog walker on very little notice, but he did such a great job with Yoda, who has the stubbornness of most beagles. It was a relief knowing that Yoda was in such great hands. I , without a doubt, would use Tom again!!!! Thank you for taking great care of my best buddy !

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 Hightstown. 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 Hightstown after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

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 Hightstown. On Rover:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
