About: Hello there! My name is Donia, but you can call me Nia! I have a passion for animal caretaking and rescue and am pursuing a career in dog grooming while fostering and rescuing in my free time. I am currently working part time at a grooming shop in addition to dog walking and other pet sitting. Believe me, as a dog mom having been held responsible for my pets from the young age of 10, I understand how hard it can be to keep up with the hastle. I have taken care of many different types of pets with different levels of neediness from puppies to elders to special needs dogs and even cats, rabbits, and hamsters. I am known as my neighborhood "dog whisperer". I love providing care for animals in need and would love to give a helping hand to anyone in need. I am also dog and cat first aid certified!

“Joyce was absolutely incredible. I needed a last-minute sitter who would be able to administer both oral and ophthalmic medications to my cat, Charlie. She didn’t even hesitate and said she’d be able to do it. She came twice a day and kept me updated with both pictures and texts to let me know Charlie’s improvements while I was away. I knew he was in great, loving hands. I wish I had found her sooner! I will be reaching out to her again when I need a sitter. She’s the best!”
“Megan is wonderful with our cats, we feel very comfortable leaving them in her hands when we are gone. She goes above and beyond to make sure our cats are happy and always keeps us informed with great updates and truly adorable and amazing photos. Could not ask for a better pet sitter!”
“Barbara was wonderful. She visited Pangur (aka Mama) even before we left for our vacation. She always communicated with us to ease our mind while we were away. I would highly recommend and use Barbara again. And our Mama loved her too!”

She kept me thoroughly updated and took great care of my fur babies, and left my house just as it was. I'd highly recommend Haley for your pet sitting!”
About: As a retired professional, I bring reliability, patience, and a calm presence to every walk. I’ve been a dog owner of two large breeds and one small breed. I have hands-on experience with doodle breeds and their unique personalities. I understand the importance of safety and health. I’ve cared for dogs with medical needs, so I’m comfortable with monitoring, medications, and giving extra attention when needed. Whether your dog loves a brisk walk, a gentle stroll, or some extra cuddles along the way, I treat every pup like family because that’s what they are. As a recently retired police officer, I currently work part-time so my hours are flexible and will have plenty of time for your fur babies. I will treat your home as if it were my own. I will safely walk your dog on leash, and can easily crate your dog, if need be.
“Lisa was very accommodating when I had surgery and was unsure of the time I would need her until the day before. She was very communicative and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her in the future!”
“So so relieved with cannolis visit from Rodney! He stopped by the day before to meet him which I appreciated so much considering this was my first time ever using a dog walker. Rodney sent pictures of my happy cannoli boy while I was away and it was really just a breath of fresh air. Will 100% recommend / use Rodney again soon!!”
About: I’ve always been a huge dog lover and truly enjoy caring for animals. I have experience with everyday pet care including walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship, as well as caring for dogs after surgery and while recovering from illness. I also volunteer at a canine rescue where I help care for the dogs and take them on walks. I’m reliable, compassionate, and treat every dog like they’re my own! I work remotely full time and would have availability early mornings before 9am and evenings after work at 5pm and later and on the weekends. I would care for the pet as if it was my own and be very respectful of the home and surroundings. I’d like to be in a comfortable environment.
About: I’m Jeff, a lifelong animal lover based in Toms River. At 51, I’ve had pets my whole life — dogs, cats, and even a chinchilla I trained along the way! I’ve raised dogs from puppies, training them myself from day one, and currently care for both a senior dog and a senior cat, so I understand the full journey of pet ownership from the very beginning to the golden years. As a work-from-home small business owner, I’m home throughout the day, which means your pet gets consistent company and care — not just a quick visit. Your animals are in experienced, loving hands. Thank You As a work-from-home small business owner, my schedule is built around flexibility. I’m home all day, every day, with no regular outside commitments — though I’m a hands-on dad to two high schoolers, so family always comes first when needed. That said, I’m consistently available for walks and visits in the early morning, mid-morning, and afternoon, making it easy to build a reliable routine your pet can count on. I keep my client list intentional so every animal in my care gets real time and attention, not a rushed visit.” When caring for pets in your home, my priority is keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I treat every client’s home with the utmost respect, and your pet stays in the environment they know and love. I always use a leash and harness on walks — no exceptions — because safety on the road comes first. Throughout every visit or walk you’ll receive updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy and in good hands. In the event of any emergency I will contact you immediately and follow your guidance regarding your veterinarian. Medication needs are welcome and can be discussed on a case by case basis during our meet and greet.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
