About: I've been an active dogsitter for nearly 15 years in the DC metro area. Specializing in older pets w/ health needs. My family has had dogs my entire life, so I have 4 decades worth of experience with dogs. Since I don't have a dog of my own (despite being my parents' dog preferred human and living with 2 King Charles Spaniels), I will treat yours like family. I'm a huge dog lover! I currently live in a house with 2 King Charles and 1 cat (acts like a dog). We have a fenced in backyard and for smaller dogs, a doggie door. For over a decade, I've been a trusted dogsitter for a handful of dogs in Washington, DC- references available upon request! Additionally, I have fostered three dogs from Laila's Legacy- 2 pitties and 1 Doberman. As a volunteer, I drove dogs to Adoption Events, served as a Handler, and helped bring pups to vet appointments. All dogs are great, especially the ones who like to snuggle. I've recently moved to New Jersey and am currently seeking full time employment. Until then, if your dog is okay with other animals, they can come stay with me or I'd be happy to dogsit in your home.

About: I'm a Division 1 women's rugby player and a huge animal lover! Dogs have always been a big part of my life growing up, and I currently have a 3-year-old Boxer named Rory who is such a character and makes me laugh every single day. On top of my love for animals, I have years of babysitting experience and am in my 6th year as a lifeguard, so keeping a close eye on those in my care comes naturally to me. I'm reliable, high-energy, and genuinely love spending time with dogs so your pup will always be in great hands. Whether it's a long walk or some extra playtime, I'll make sure they're happy, tired, and well taken care of! I'm a college athlete home for the summer with plenty of time and energy to dedicate to your dog! I work as a lifeguard and legal intern most days from 9-3, so I have great afternoon and evening availability throughout the week. Your home and your dog are in good hands with me. I stick to whatever routines and rules you have in place, give your pup plenty of attention and activity during walks and drop-ins, and always leave things exactly as I found them. Your peace of mind is just as important to me as your dog's happiness!

About: What sets me apart is my patience, compassion, and genuine love for animals. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities. From energetic puppies who need extra attention, patience, and guidance to senior animals who may need more time, gentle care, and understanding, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I treat every animal like family and give them the same love, attention, and respect I would want for my own pets. Whether they need playtime, extra cuddles, a little reassurance, or simply someone patient enough to move at their pace, I’m there for them. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m able to dedicate time throughout the day to walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and giving each pet the individual attention they need. I understand that pets thrive on consistency and routine, so I make their care a priority and do my best to keep them comfortable, happy, and on their normal schedule. I’m also patient and flexible when a pet needs extra time, attention, or special care—whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior pet who prefers a slower pace. I care for every pet as if they were my own, while respecting their individual personality, routine, and comfort level. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions carefully and keep their normal schedule as consistent as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of love and attention. I also treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would give my own. My goal is for both the pet and their family to feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Keansburg
Rachel is amazing!!! We are new to the area and were looking for someone who we could trust with our lab, Bob. Rachel met us for a meet and greet and was so warm, welcoming and an amazing communicator. Bob loves her! We are excited to keep working with her in the future!
Bethany was amazing. She was excellent at communication, and sending plenty of photos while we were away. If she had questions, she always asked and clarified. We agreed to have her boyfriend assist on some days- and our dogs seemed to love him just as much as they loved her! Not everyone can handle a Great Dane and German Shepherd as well as she did :) 100% rebooking with her, and recommending her to family/friends in the area!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. 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 Keansburg 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.

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 .
