“Tina is very responsive, caring, and easy to communicate with. She made sure all the specific requests I had were taken care of perfectly. When I came home, my cats were calm and well attended to. I can finally travel without worrying about them!”

I always follow the pet owner's directions carefully so that the pet will be happy while they are in my care and the owner will be at ease knowing that their pet is in good hands.

I have many references. I am a college student. My schedule is very flexible, I am available every day at any time to come and take care of your pets. I can be trusted to go to your home and lock the doors and set the alarm. If transporting your dog, I would be confident in putting on harnesses, leashes, and any other items you request.
About: Hello! My name is Sam and I believe I would make a great sitter for your furry babies! I have experience with owning and caring for dogs and cats. I have my own little tuxedo cat named Nana who is just my pride and joy. I have 8 years of experience and have even volunteered in my teen years for a dog rescue call Happy Paws rescue. I have hands on experience caring for newborn kitten, including stimulation and bottle feeding. I also have experience administering medication to cats when needed. 🐕 Dog Walking I’m available for morning walks starting as early as 5:00 AM or 6:00 AM, as well as evening walks between 6:30 PM and 8:30 PM Weekdays. Weekends: • Morning: 5:00 AM – 8:00 AM • Afternoon: 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM • Evenings: Flexible 🐱 Cat Drop-Ins For weekday cat visits, I’m available in the morning from 5:00 AM – 6:00 AM Weekends: • Morning: 5:00 AM – 8:00 AM • Afternoon: 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM • Evenings: Flexible 🏡 Boarding & House Sitting I’m also available for pet boarding and staying in your home with your pets. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, medication, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. My goal is to make your pets feel comfortable and cared for while giving you peace of mind. I know how much our pets mean to us, and I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would want for my own Nana. 🐾❤️ I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets!
“Laura provided excellent service and communication regarding our cats while we were gone for 9 days. My 2 senior cats need daily medication (oral pills and topical cream) and Laura was comfortable with this situation. When we booked our vacation, months ago, they didn't need any medication, so finding the right sitter leading up to our time away was stressful for me, but Laura was great and helped me feel more at ease while on our big family vacation. It turned out that one of my cats would hide with each visit, which I'm sure was annoying to manage, but Laura stuck with it. We can't thank her enough for caring for our aging cats!”
About: I love animals and have experience working with and sitting for a wide range of them, including dogs, cats, and small or exotic animals. I myself have owned over twenty parrots (currently have two in the aviary!) and have extensive experience with fishkeeping — I have four cycled, walstad fish and shrimp tanks! I can walk your dog, clean your cat’s litter box, and even do water changes for your fish if needed! Anything to make sure your little guys are well cared for! I’m a graduate student who will be free over the summer, so my schedule is flexible until late August. I can make myself and my home available as needed. I live in a townhome that features a large, lush, and open neighborhood to walk your dogs in. My home has two floors; the first floor is where your pet will stay. When your pet is in my home, they are treated like members of my family. They will be fed, walked, and enriched on your schedule, and will be allowed to sit on the couch and even sleep in my bed at nights if comfortable. I take great care to ensure that your pet’s stay is comfortable and fun-filled. In my home, I currently have two budgies in a large cage and two betta fish, each in 5-10 gallon tanks. The parrots are allowed to free fly for most of the day, but they will be put away or kept caged when your pets are being boarded. When I am in your home, I cultivate the utmost respect. I try not to disturb or move anything that’s not necessary. I’ll make use of only what’s given to me with regards to caring for your pet, and leave everything else exactly how I found it.
“Tessa did an awesome job of keeping us informed while we were away during our trip and sending us lots if photos. Our pets seemed happy and loved on. House was in order when we returned and she went above and beyond doing somethings we didn't expect her to take care of such as taking out trash and scooping litter since it was a short trip.”

“Paige was AWESOME!! My first time using a pet sitter & it was WAY above my expectations. I looked forward to receiving Paige’s daily updates & photos of my cats. She was sooo conscientious and kind. Extremely reliable & detailed….. she wanted to be sure she followed my instructions to the letter. Excellent!!! I’ve already re-booked her for June! Thanks Paige….. great job with my fur-babies 🥰”
About: I’ve owned and/or taken care of cats longer than I can remember. While I’ve never owned a dog myself, I’ve watched my friends and neighbors dogs often. Sometimes people bring their dogs into the office, and everyone knows that’s where you’ll find me. I can match the energy of your pets whether that’s doing loops around my yard, or giving half an hour of ear scratches while they snooze. Please tell me all about your pet, I’d love to know them personally! I work full time, week days from 9am-5pm, but am otherwise available! Weekends are flexible, and I’m also very willing to work after I come home from work, usually by 5:15 or so I have a fenced in back yard, and 3 pretty friendly cats at home. They’re extremely non-threatening and more likely to get scared and hide than anything. I am able to crate or separate pets as needed, I do have an extra room so if a separated stay is needed, it’s no issue. I also have a camera I can set up where needed to check in during the day while I am out. I do also have a basement, it’s not officially finished but I’ve turned it into a safe and comfy enough space that I trust my own kitties to have full access to. Any overnight visitors are more than welcome to have that whole space to be separated in, if owner is comfortable with it!
“Jiajia was so helpful and patient. One of my cats takes medication every 12 hours. I stress when I am not personally there to administer the medicine.... Until Jiajia. Communications were an open line and I felt relieved that my kitties were in good hands. I would absolutely recommend her service.”
About: I have 2 small mixed playful and friendly dogs. I am a dog lover and truly enjoy the time I have with each dog in my care. I have a breezeway where your dog can stay and hang out. The breezeway has sliding dooos that open to a large, fully fenced backyard. My work as a home care Physical Therapist allows me to have a schedule that is flexible. I am able to check in intermittently on the dog(s) during the day for potty breaks or as needed as I work close to, or around my home. I can provide medications, shots, etc as needed. I am also very flexible with the dogs in my care and provide attention and love each one as if he or she was my own fur baby. I et them sleep on my furniture or bed if that is what they like. My home will be a safe and comfortable haven for your furry child(ren). And you can relax while on vacation. My work as a home care Physical Therapist allows flexibility and I am able to do drop ins as needed. I can also pick up and drop off dogs if requested. I have a large fenced backyard and 2 friendly dogs who will keep your fur child(ren) company. I make sure each dog gets the attention and care they need.
About: I had a dog growing up and also currently own a dog for the past 4 years and love taking care of all different dogs. I currently work from home so I am available throughout the day to care for the dog for bathroom breaks as well as any play time. I have a fenced backyard for dogs to play in as well as a dog of my own to accompany your dog too, as well as comfortable spots around the house for them to rest and play.
About: My ability to bond with pets. I’ve always appreciated animals and understood their needs. I’m respectful and loving to them, curating a strong friendship of trust! I currently am a student and work part-time at my University! I have extra time on my hands during the rest of the week so being able to make some extra money and hang out with animals is the perfect match! I will be sure to take any necessary safety precautions: leashing when walking on street, closing doors, and blocking off hallways if needed. And if noted that the animal tends to run away or scare easily, I will be sure to be extra responsible.
About: Hi, I have been taking care of cats and dogs all my life. Been fostering cats for a year and adopted one last year. I love animals and would love to host yours! I work remotely so I am home 24x7. I will feed and play with your cats according to any instructions you provide. Although I have a cat, I have a separate kitty room that I’ll be using to keep your kitty in. This way the cats are separated, but have their space. I dont have a fenced yard, but your kitty will be well taken care of so they do not find an open door. I have had my cat for a year and she has not found an open door. 😊
About: I have personal experience with dogs/cats for 20 yrs., I’m also the neighbor that takes care of the family pet while on vacation or if their human is running late and they need a quick potty break/walk.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Iselin
We had such a great experience with our Rover sitter Susan! ❤️ She came by twice in one day to take out and feed our puppy and our older dog, and she was so sweet and caring with both of them. She kept us updated throughout the day and sent us the cutest pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. 🐶💕 It was clear that both of our pups were in great hands and they loved her. We would absolutely recommend her!
Stephanie was very pleasant, lively, enthusiastic. Our dog took to her very well when they first met. We were away for several days with no Wifi, and trusted her to take care of our dog. She provided comfort to our dog who has separation anxiety. Yes, we recommend her to others.
Taylor was absolutely wonderful with my dog! She watched him for two days and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She kept me updated with messages and photos, and it was clear that she treated him like he was her own. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I could tell he got plenty of love and attention. I would absolutely book with Taylor again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!
Gabby is absolutely wonderful, and we are so happy we found her! From the very beginning, she took the time to do a meet-and-greet with our dog, Chance, which immediately put us at ease. She is incredibly professional, caring, and attentive. During each visit, Gabby provided detailed updates about how Chance was doing, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from her communication and interactions that she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We always felt confident that Chance was safe, happy, and in great hands. We truly could not have asked for a better experience. Gabby went above and beyond, and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and compassionate pet sitter. We look forward to having her care for Chance again in the future!
Jessica was great to work with. Before we booked her, she came by to meet our pups, which immediately put our minds at ease. She communicated well throughout her visits and sent pictures, which we really appreciated. Knowing our dogs were happy and well cared for made being away so much easier. We would definitely recommend her and look forward to working with her again.
Awesome experience with Lucas and Katherine! A very nice couple that gave our 6 yo 70lb shepherd mix the attention and special care needed to manage her anxiety, epilepsy and diabetes. They were very warm, welcoming and followed our instructions to the T - putting our first timer worries at ease. We will def book again!
Hannah is a gem. She's very easy to communicate and schedule with. She clearly loves animals and takes such for care of Pongo. She doesn't just go through the motions but puts effort and energy into spending quality time with our dog. Would recommend to anyone.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Iselin stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Iselin 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!
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 .

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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Iselin with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
