“Tori was so amazing with my fur babies. I have a very large nervous dog and she was so patient with him letting him get to know her in his space. She took great care of my animals and my house while I was away on business travel. I would highly recommend her.”
About: Hi there! My name is Kristin and I have a lifelong passion for all animals. Growing up on a horse farm, I was surrounded by various animals and always had cats and dogs as pets. Outside of having pets growing up, I have helped out friends and family members with dog, cat, and house sitting for them over the past 10+ years. I have experience with a variety of breeds, ranging from big breeds such as Pitbulls and Boxers to smaller breeds like Yorkies and Jack Russells. I care for all animals with all my heart and your pets will be in loving hands with me! I work full time in Monmouth county, so weekends would be ideal for me. However, if your pet doesn't need to go out as frequently, I can definitely help out during the week. I am typically out of the house between 10am-6pm, so I can play with/walk/feed them before or after those times. Weekends are totally open for me so I can do whatever your pet needs. In my client's home, I will follow their typical routine and do whatever they do to care for their pets. I always respect their home and make sure I leave it as clean as possible.
“Anahi was great with taking care of our pup and cat. They were quick, friendly and professional from start to finish. Our pup, Frankie requires extra attention and Anahi handled everything great and updated us during the sit.”
About: Hi, I'm Robin. I currently work as a nurse but have 10 years of experience as a veterinary technician at various animal hospitals.I was Fear Free certified at the last animal hospital I worked at and have experience with dogs, cats, and rabbits. I grew up owning dogs and cats all of my life and I have been a volunteer dog walker at an animal shelter since I was 16 years old. I currently share my home with my rescue dog, Riley and three cats, Willow, Julius, and Chase. I have off from work on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays so I am available anytime but also willing to do the occasional walk/drop in on evenings after work. I have a lot of experience walking my dog as I am in an apartment so I walk her frequently and a lot of experience walking other dogs in all kinds of settings.
“Courtney was great to communicate with and I felt so comfortable with our dog in her care. She's very warm and our anxious pup took to her immediately. She sent regular updates, including photos, and was flexible when we needed to adjust the timing of the stay. Would absolutely trust her to watch Loki again!”
About: As an EMT and pet owner, I’m dependable, attentive, and comfortable staying calm when unexpected situations arise. I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pets and home while you’re away. I’m happy to provide walks, meals, playtime, companionship, photo updates, and plenty of affection while following your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide! I work longer shifts 4 days each week, which gives me 3 full days off each week to dedicate to pet care. My availability varies by day, but I keep my calendar updated and only accept bookings I know I can fully accommodate. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays depending on the dates and your pet’s routine. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine and care instructions closely so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, feeding instructions, and any household rules you provide. As an EMT, I’m dependable, attentive, and comfortable staying calm if something unexpected happens. I’ll also send regular photos and updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Kaining was everything we could have asked for and more! She took wonderful care of our home and pets and kept us updated on how they were doing - all three of our pets were so at ease with her! We were able to truly enjoy our time away knowing how happy our and well cared for our pets were.”
About: I'm a web designer who works 100% remote, am a true animal person at heart, and have been petsitting on the side since 2021. My family has three kitties (pictured in my profile is the sassy Bee Bee) and I have grown up with animals my entire life. I promise to care for your pets like my own. 💙 I work full-time about 8:30-5 fully remote - so wherever I have WiFi I'm all set! I love to house sit so I can give your pets even more love and attention throughout the day. However, I am also available for occasional drop-ins in the morning and evening during the week, and am usually fully available on weekends. I pride myself in following your instructions to a T. I'll always leave your home clean and your pets happy, fed, and safe. I also make it a priority to gather emergency information before any booking to be prepared in the case of any situation. Finally, I ask that I please be made aware of any cameras inside and/or outside of the home for the safety of myself and your pets.
About: I was raised alongside litters of puppies and my life has revolved around animals ever since. My family consistently had 8-10 dogs in our home, ranging from big dogs like labs or American bulldogs to smaller dogs like French bulldogs or terrier mixes. Since I was in elementary school, I was tasked with feeding, grooming, walking and playing with all of our dogs. As an adult, I've helped my parents out in watching their many dogs (my dad has 12!) when they are out of town and pet-sitting for friends and family. I adopted my own two cats, who I've had since they were kittens, and love them with almost my whole heart - I have two ferrets that take up some space in my heart too. Ferrets are notoriously difficult pets to take care of, so if I can handle them and all their energy & mischief, I think I'm prepared to take care of just about any creature. I have been conscientious, responsible and caring for my own pets and I promise I'll treat yours the same way :) I work 9-5 on a hybrid schedule but, as a manager, I have flexibility in terms of remote work — I can always change my schedule around to accommodate yours! I need advanced notice for overnight bookings, as I commute into the city twice a week. I can always switch my-in office days with enough of a head's up, so please reach out if my current calendar availability doesn't align with yours! We may be able to work something out. Unfortunately, I know the feeling of coming home from a trip and realizing that some little things were unattended to by a friend I'd trusted with my pets: the water fountain was half full, the litter box hadn't been scooped in a few days, their 24/7 bird streaming YouTube video wasn't on (lol). Of course my pets were still fed, but it didn't feel like they were cared for the same way I would have. I promise that won't happen if I am entrusted with your pet. I am very good at noticing and handling those little details, even if you forgot to mention them, because that's what I would want. That said, I am great at following pet-care instructions, and I'll surely feed, walk, play with (and love) your furry friend according to the schedule you set out.
“Having a strong connection with my boys, I hoped to find someone who could empathize. Rachel empathized and cared for my nervous lab and demanding staffy for 9 days. But more importantly she took time to get to know my guys and me. They were walked, cared for (during a storm, and late evening). The care Rachel provided helped me to enjoy our trip without worry. Thank you, Rachel”
“April was so amazing dog sitting Dusty. She was kind and very helpful, considering Dusty is an older puppy with some ailments and medication needs. She took great care of Dusty and he loved being with April. I would recommend her to anyone!”
About: Hi there! My name is Danielle and I'm an actress and court reporting student here in Florida! Growing up, I've always had 6+ dogs at a time and am a huge animal lover. For the past 10 years I've been dogsitting/dogwalking and would love the opportunity to meet and take care of your pup! :) I am pretty flexible for the most part! Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays I have full availability. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Fridays I am available after 7pm for one-off visits. However, I can do overnights any day of the week. I have a fenced yard along with 3 other doggies to keep your dog company. I can be flexible depending on your preferences! Just ask for what you'd like and I'll let you know if I can accommodate :)
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and starting pet sitting for extra cash in Middle school. That’s continued on through my post college years thanks to my flexible work schedule. I’m well versed in caring for dogs with extra healthcare needs. One of my family dogs had epilepsy for 8 of her 12 year life, so I’m well versed in caring for a dog who is experiencing a tough moment physically and emotionally. I also know all of the tricks to get them to take their medicine! Additionally, i have cared for our other dog while she recovered from a torn ACL. I work from home and am always around on the weekends so perfect to care for a dog while folks are working, on a trip, or just need someone to pop in for a walk while they’re going about the business of everyday life. When your pet is in my care, it gets treated like it’s my own. It gets to lounge on the couch, plenty of belly rubs, and lots of play time. I live on a quiet street with a small fenced in area to stretch their legs and be outside in addition to the plenty of walks they’ll get while in my care.
About: I've been caring for animals since I was a young child. I've always loved animals! I'm a person who is dependable, kind, respectful and patient.

I double-checked everything and added wire shielding. While also obstructing some parts. In addition. I can provide playpins if necessary. I'll make sure your little ones are safe.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Interlaken
Mellissa is amazing My pus LOVED her and my husband has never agreed to leave the dogs, and she truly made him feel comfortable doing so. she checked in, followed directions written out and in sent pictures and left the house in better condition she received it in. To come home to calm pups who actually were sulking because she was gone was immeasurable and quite the blessing . I cannot praise her enough
Couldn't love Brandon more if we tried! He has the most calm and patient demeanor and took such good care of our little Dachshund, Ravioli. This was the first time we were leaving him alone with anyone but my fiance and me, so we were nervous. Brandon came for our dinners so we could have an evening out and he made fast friends with Ravioli. He also helped him through some firework fears as this was the 3rd of July. Ravioli was thrilled to see him on their second night and allowed us dinner in peace. Brandon threw his ball and played with him until he was all tuckered out. Thank you so much, Brandon!
Savannah dog & house sat for about 8 days for us. She was very responsible. It was nice that she took the time to come meet the dogs and go over what the job entailed prior to our vacation. We were pleased with the care she gave our pups, and how nicely she kept the house. We will absolutely hire her again, and would recommend her.
Keith and his wife are lovely. They previously had a large dog and understand well. Keith communicated well throughout with pictures, which I love. Pasta & Rippie were so content and relaxed when I picked them up, I know it was a great visit. Well definitely recommend and book again! Thank you for taking such good care of them
Having a strong connection with my boys, I hoped to find someone who could empathize. Rachel empathized and cared for my nervous lab and demanding staffy for 9 days. But more importantly she took time to get to know my guys and me. They were walked, cared for (during a storm, and late evening). The care Rachel provided helped me to enjoy our trip without worry. Thank you, Rachel
Kaining did a fantastic job taking care of my two dogs for a week, as well as taking care of my home. She administered medications to both my dogs. She was very responsible, kept to their schedule, played and snuggled with them! I would recommend her to take care of your fur babies.
Hunter took wonderful care of my sweet animals while we were away. My senior dog wasn’t feeling well and was unable to move from her bed, which could have been incredibly stressful. Hunter handled the situation with so much care, patience, and compassion. She was able to easily administer her medications, made sure she was comfortable at all times, and gave her the attentive, thoughtful care she needed during a vulnerable moment. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in such capable and loving hands. She also made sure our cat was well cared for and loved while we were away. I’m incredibly grateful for Hunter and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, kind, and trustworthy pet caregiver.
Kristen did a great job cat-sitting at my house. I left way too many instructions, which she followed perfectly. And both of my shy cats were comfortable enough to make appearances - one even let her pet him. She was also excellent at communicating and sending pictures. I highly recommend her!
Alexa was absolutely wonderful with our senior dog. He can often be slow to warm up and wary about going on walks with new people, but he seemed completely at ease and in his normal element with her. She is super communicative and sent a bunch of pics, it gave me such peace of mind. We highly recommend her!
Alexis was undaunted by the fact that the 6-hour pet-sitting job was at our hotel. Other sitters were put off by that, so it was a real hassle getting someone to take nearly $100 for watching TV a few miles from home with two loving dogs. Alexis totally got it, and she was the consummate professional, taking the pooches to the pet relief area 50 feet from the door more frequently than just the once required. Cheery and mature, a good communicator, good with the photos and videos.
My dogs were well cared for and seemed comfortable throughout the stay, and I appreciated receiving regular photo updates. Communication was smooth, and the house was left clean overall. I did notice that several personal items and pieces of furniture were moved and not returned to their original places. I also noticed that a larger amount of food and wine was used than I expected, including specialty items brought from outside the country that are difficult to find and usually last for months. These items were gone after a two week stay. While the pet care itself was good, clearer expectations around personal belongings and food would be helpful for future stays.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Interlaken walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Interlaken maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Interlaken 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!
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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 sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
