“Kali and her son were, last minute, able to look after moose for an hour. They followed the instructions and were very communicative. Moose was very happy to see them! Would book again.”


About: I've been a dog owner almost all of my life - a mini dachshund as a girl and two cavapoos as an adult. I've also been a long-time sitter for family and friends (Corgi Jake and Lab Rudy are in my pictures), and think of the dogs in my care one of our own. I look forward to connecting to see if I'm a good fit for your beloved pup. I'm a part-time grad student (online program) and full-time mama to toddler Jack (who's in Montessori school) and pup Seamus. We've moved to Spring Lake from Hoboken - days include walks by the lake, ball tosses in the backyard, and the dog beach in season (regular beach in the fall). It's important your pup feels comfortable with us! We allow our Seamus on the couches and will adhere to whatever rules you're most comfortable with.
About: Hi! My name is Joe Mattimoe, I’m a reliable dog walker/sitter based in beautiful Wall Township. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and over the years I’ve gained experience walking, caring for, and connecting with dogs of every breed and personality. I also have some hands-on training experience through Wild Rover K9 Services in Point Pleasant, Where I gained practical skills in handling, basic obedience, and canine behavior—allowing me to provide calm, structured, and enjoyable walks tailored to each dog. Whether your dog is energetic or prefers a gentle stroll, I offer reliable, caring service every time. Their safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, and truly passionate about dogs, I’d love to help! I make my own schedule each month and have flexibility since I am semi-retired. Once I book a dog service, my day/week/schedule revolves around that client. I have access to a fenced in yard a walk away from my home (mother-in-law) it is a good way to get another walk in and then play. I can crate, and follow owner’s directions. If your dog needs to sleep in the bed, they will. If they need to be crated or left to roam around, they will. We take care of a special needs dog who has a hard time jumping up to the bay window in our home. We take the first pillow of the couch, place it on the floor so he can jump up and get to it. We rearrange the entire living room for this little guy and he loves it. Just an example.
About: I was the full time Mom for our Havanese until he passed at 11 1/2 years old. I love spending time with dogs on a long walk, playtime, or practicing simple commands. I'm extremely patient and loving, and will treat your dog as my own! I have a very flexible work-from-home schedule, which makes it possible for me to accept a variety of walk or visit times (in addition to the scheduled shown), and I can often take a last minute request. Pet safety is my number one priority. I don't take chances, we always stay safe whether it's being properly leashed or making sure there's nothing dangerous within your dog's reach.
About: I personally know what it means to be willing to trust others with your pet (it can be a little scary at first!). I have a 12 year old Yorkie myself who is my best friend, and I would be taking the same steps to ensure she was in the best care. I am an animal-loving, compassionate health-care provider that is a local and looking to spend my spare time to help others with their fur babies. I am open to any requests you may have :) Please feel free to contact me about anything and I will try my absolute best to accommodate. Early mornings before work (before 8am), or later afternoons (any time after 6pm), and ALL-DAY on weekends I am available. Dependent on request, I may be able to accommodate on lunch as well (I work in point pleasant and can drive back on lunch) While I cannot take your pet to my home, I will be more than happy to go to your home to best suit your needs.
About: What sets my pet care apart is my experience, attentiveness, and love for animals. I care for pets of all ages and temperaments, ensuring they feel safe and loved. I can train puppies in basic commands and provide specialized care for seniors, including medication administration and comfort adjustments. I take the time to understand each pet’s routines and needs, tailoring my care accordingly. Regular updates and photos keep you informed, as your peace of mind is vital. I focus on building trust with both pets and their owners, ensuring that your pet receives the best care possible. I am currently a student at Brookdale Community College, and my class schedule is very flexible year-round. I prioritize clear communication and will always keep you informed of my availability. If anything changes or comes up, I will provide as much notice as possible. Caring for pets is a passion, and I prioritize safety, trust, and a nurturing environment in every interaction. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I'm visiting yours, their well-being is always my top priority. In my house, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space where your pet can feel safe and loved. I ensure that the environment is free of hazards, with secure spaces for play, rest, and relaxation. I also keep a close eye on pets during outdoor time to ensure they are always safe and secure. I follow your pet's routines to minimize stress and create a sense of familiarity. I keep their food, water, and toys organized and accessible while providing plenty of playtime, walks, and affection. I'm also happy to send regular updates, including photos, so you can feel confident about your pet's care while away. I take the time to understand your pet's unique needs and preferences for all services. Whether it's a specific feeding schedule, medication, or extra cuddles.
“Anahi is a wonderful person and sitter! She is friendly, kind, and a great communicator. I was very nervous as it was my first time using the site to find a sitter, but I made the right choice booking Anahi. I was not expecting my shy cat to interact with her right away, but from the first visit, she was sharing pictures of them playing together, and him seeking her out for affection as she walked in on the second visit. I do believe animals are a great judge of character and I will be booking her for my next trip. Highly recommend.”


“Kerri went above and beyond to accommodate our 2 cats! She was able to handle some last minute changes and chaotic cat situations that came up while we were away. She also was able to befriend our very shy cat and give him his diabetic medicine. Can’t recommend her enough, she is great!”

About: I have had dogs all my life. I have pet sat for dogs of all breed, age, and size. I was a bather at Petsmart and I worked at Red Bank Veterinary Hospital in Tinton Falls as a veterinary assistant and handled dogs all the time. I now work at Green Leaf Pet resort in oakhurst and I walk dogs, do daycare and more! I work 5 days a week. I have a set schedule that’s Monday’s, Tuesday's, Wednesday’s, Friday’s, and Saturday’s 2 pm - 9 pm. I’m able to stay overnight and during the day the days I work then I would stay all day on Thursday’s and Sunday's. I stay over at clients houses to keep the pets comfortable in their own environment. I keep the house tidy and can clean the house if wanted. I make sure that how ever the pet is used to there owners taking care of them I take care of them the same. I feed, take out, crate if they get crated, etc.
“Melissa is a wonderful pet sitter! She did drops ins for my two cats. She washed dirty bowls that my cats used after eating. I thought that was so thoughtful of her to do this. She also took pictures of my pets , the pet food she fed them, as well as the cat pen area that she cleaned, everyday. In addition, she came over the day it was supposed to snow, on very short notice, for additional drop in visits. I asked her if she could do drops ins the day before, for this day. And even though it was short notice for this additional booking, she agreed to do the drop ins. I was relieved to not have to travel back home, an hour away, in inclement weather, the next day. I am so grateful for her hard work and for excepting my last minute booking, without much prior notice. Melissa is a reliable , flexible and kind pet sitter! I highly recommend her!”

“Samantha was amazing. This was our first time using her and she was great. My boy is being and in need of insulin. He has anxiety when I'm not with him and could be a handful. Samantha didn't give up on him and tried different ways to make him comfortable with taking his shots from her. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing he was in great hands. We will definitely be using her again.”

“Heather has been an occasional caregiver for our puppy, Jerry and our cat, Lola for the last 4 months. She was the first person to puppy sit for Jerry after we got him, and we are so glad that we found her through Rover! Heather assists with last minute dog walks, holiday pet sitting for the cat, as well as drop-ins. She is consistently reliable, and we've always felt 100% comfortable leaving her to care for the pets. We are so happy that she lives just down the road and will definitely be using her for future pet sitting!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Como
Absolutely amazing, super knowledgeable, immensely loving, sweet, and patient with our fur-babies!!! We have yet to have ever, even once, found such a kind, responsible, communicative and absolutely unparalleled person - let alone such a dynamic duo - as these two!!! My partner and I can both tell for 100% sure, from all of the gorgeous, super adorable, photos that Kathy and John take on each of their drop-ins and long walks with our two doggos, that they cannot wait for the next time that Kathy and John come to care for them 🥰😍🤩. Each and every visit, they go for long walks, smell all the sniffs in our neighborhood, play games inside and outside, and get all the food, water, love and attention that they need!! They are simply the best!!

Rachel was great! Our dogs loved her. Not only did she feed and walk them to go potty, she spent time playing with them in the yard. They loved chasing the ball and getting belly rubs. Rachel is a sweet and caring person and would highly recommend her to care for your fur babies!

Jessica is extremely reliable. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and is a true extension with training our 8 month old Havanese, Pebbles. The consistency adds to Pebbles success. The lond voice and affection Jessica gives to Pebbles is appreciated and genuine. We highly recommend Jessica!!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lake Como stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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 Lake Como 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.

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 Lake Como with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
