About: I have dog-walked and dog-sat for over five years and I have found an extreme passion to work with animals. I’ve worked with all sized dogs, and I am able to handle all sizes as well. I walk dogs to ensure they receive their ordinary walking time. I am reliable to take care of a pet because I will play with them, and feed and provide positivity for them! I am a full time student at a university, so my schedule alters but I can safely say I am free on Saturdays and Sundays! As for weekdays, I am flexible so I can accommodate to your liking! I currently live in a pet-friendly apartment off-campus with my own bedroom. Near/in the apartment building, there is open grass available for pets to play on! The apartment also has a beautiful trail behind it where I would be more than happy to walk your pets along.

About: I have over 20 years of experience with professional pet care, and it’s always my aim to adore your pet as much as you do! Although I have a major soft spot for dogs of all shapes and sizes I absolutely love cats and love their sometimes quirky personalities. I’ve previously worked at a Vet clinic caring for pets as well as Chewy so I have extensive knowledge when it comes to anything about your pets. I am a freelance street photographer so my days are usually spent working from home or walking the city so you can rest assured that your pet will be well taken care of and have someone with them for the majority of the time you when boarding. I live in a great sized loft and pets do not have any restrictions in my home. The more comfortable they are the better. I’m very laid back as well and don’t mind sitting at your residence as well. Whatever makes your pet more comfortable.

About: Hi, my name is Nichole! I grew up in a home full of pets and have loved animals my entire life. I’ve had the privilege of caring for four dogs of all different breeds, including a Chihuahua, Pit Bull, Fox Terrier, Maltese, Cane Corso, Bull Dog and Border Collie. I currently have three cats of my own: Leo, Ralphy, and Colagio. I truly believe pets are family. I treat my own pets like they’re my kids, and I’ll give your pets that same love, patience, and care while they’re with me. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m flexible, reliable, and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll provide honest communication, plenty of attention, and the care they deserve while you’re away. I have more availability on weekends, which allows me to dedicate quality time to your pets. I love spending my free time with animals, whether it’s going on walks, playing, giving cuddles, or just keeping them company. I’ll make sure your pets feel loved and cared for while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I like to keep their normal routine as much as possible, including their feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and any special instructions their owners provide. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality and what makes them feel most at ease. I’ll provide plenty of attention, affection, and care while keeping owners updated so they know their pets are in good hands.

About: My experience comes from caring for my aunt’s family dog and helping friends by caring for their pets while they’re away. I’ve enjoyed getting to know each pet’s personality, keeping them comfortable and cared for, and making sure they receive plenty of attention and love. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every pet as if they were my own. 🐾❤️ I work full-time during the week, so my availability is primarily in the evenings and on weekends. I’m happy to coordinate ahead of time to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need. 🐾 Every pet has different needs, routines, and personalities, so I tailor my care to each pet and their owner’s instructions.

My priority is creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment while keeping owners updated and giving their pets plenty of care and attention. 🐾

About: I’ve been around animals and cared for pets for many years, both as a pet owner myself and as a trusted helping hand for friends and family. I currently have two cats of my own and have experience caring for both cats and dogs, including feeding, walks, playtime, litter box and potty routines, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I’m patient about getting to know what makes each animal comfortable. I’m very attentive to instructions and understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pets when you can’t be there. I’ll treat every pet I care for with the same attention, patience, and affection I give my own. I have a consistent hybrid work schedule that gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care! Monday through Wednesday, I work in the office and am generally available for walks and drop in visits from 3–10 PM. Thursday through Sunday, I work from home or am off, which allows for much more flexibility throughout the day, including morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I’m happy to work with you to keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. Great pet care is about more than feeding, walking, and checking in. It’s about paying attention. With my own two cats, I’m very attentive to their daily routines, personalities, mannerisms, and overall wellbeing. I know what’s normal for them, from their eating and sleeping habits to their energy levels and behavior, and I bring that same attentiveness to the pets in my care. When visiting your home, I’ll carefully follow your instructions and your pet’s established routine so they can feel as safe and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I’ll respect their boundaries, give them plenty of affection, playtime, or space depending on what they prefer, and make sure their environment is secure before I leave. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would expect from someone entering mine. I know how much peace of mind comes from knowing your pets are safe and happy, so you can also expect thoughtful updates and plenty of pictures during my visits!

About: Hi, my name is Shannon and I am happy to be a dog walker and pet sitter serving NJ/NY! I love ALL animals and have a passion for animal welfare. Let me tell you a little about my experience with pets. I've had pets since I was born - every kind from a goldfish to a 100 pound dog. I’ve had dogs my entire life and also previously worked at a dog walking company, so I have years of experience walking, training, feeding, playing, etc. with dogs of all breeds and ages. I hope you'll choose me to care for your furry friends! I promise to take the best care of your pet and treat he or she like they are my own. I work from home and have the flexibility to take care of your pets in my home, your home, or just drop-ins for daily walks while you’re at work, on vacation, etc! I offer pet care in my safe apartment where your dog will get extra attention, ample belly rubs, and comfy spots to nap! As mentioned, I work from home, so I am around all day. I can only accommodate one dog in my home at a time.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember! I ensure all dogs are taken for 3-4 walks per day, only have approved snacks, and are treated like family. I currently work from home 4-5 per week so I love having company with me! Very flexible schedule with little to no meetings. Dog sitting is my favorite weekend activity! I have a large apartment and live very close to many dog parks in Hoboken! I do live on the 5th floor with no elevator, so not the best for elderly, large dogs.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals, including two dogs and two cats, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. I currently have my own 9-month-old French Bulldog who is very well-socialized, friendly, and comfortable around other dogs. I also have hands-on experience caring for French Bulldogs and puppies. I helped with a litter of 9 Frenchie puppies, assisting with feedings, cleaning, potty time, daily care, and eventually helping with their training as they grew. I’ve also cared for up to 6 Frenchies at once and have experience managing feeding routines for multiple dogs. I’m comfortable with dogs of different personalities and understand how important patience, consistency, attention, and safety are when caring for someone’s pet. I treat every dog as if they were my own and want every pup in my care to feel happy, comfortable, and loved. 🐾❤️ I have free time all the time as I work from home and are doing online schooling in my last year of undergrad at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. I have a spacious apartment with a 100 square foot balcony that is turfed and routinely cleaned area for my French Bulldog to potty if needed. I take my dog out every 4 hours on a walk. We have a park a block away from my apartment.

About: I've been dog-sitting since before I could drive. In elementary school I even had my own dog walking business! While most of my experience has been with bigger dogs, I'm comfortable with any and all breeds or sizes. My family dogs growing up were rescued mutts and a mini doodle, and someday I hope to have a dachshund of my own! I am working part-time at the moment, so I'll have plenty of time to check in on your fur babies. I work most mornings but can do morning check-ins and am available after 3pm for longer visits! I will match your pets energy, if they want to play, we'll play. If not, I'll make sure they're alive and well and keep you updated.

“Couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker for our sweet cat, Kofta. He kept us updated every time he visited while we were away with pics and videos. It was very clear that Kofta felt safe with Lorenzo and enjoyed his company. He took extra time to play with Kofta and give him treats. He was flexible, attentive, and easy to work with. Highly recommend Lorenzo and plan on requesting his availability for future needs.”

Kaitlyn is the sweetest! Her warm, cheerful, and caring nature helped her bond with Jake so quickly, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away traveling. She was incredibly reliable, prompt with Jake’s schedule, responsive, and always kept me updated on how he was doing. I especially appreciated how thoughtful she was about Jake’s safety—she checked with me about what she could and couldn’t do with him, including his interactions with other people and animals. It was clear that Kaitlyn genuinely cared about Jake’s well-being and always put his best interests first. I felt completely comfortable leaving him in her care, and I’m so grateful for the wonderful care and attention she gave him. I would absolutely trust Kaitlyn with Jake again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, responsible, and trustworthy to look after their pet!

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 Jersey City 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 .

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.

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 .

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.

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.
