About: I’ve been caring for my own animals since childhood and grew up with big dogs. Today I share my life with an 80-pound hound mix and a Velcro cat. I’m naturally empathetic, reliable, and genuinely happiest when caring for animals. Your pets will always have my full attention, and I make it a priority to ensure they feel safe, loved, and understood. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including energetic puppies and gentle seniors. I adapt easily to different personalities and routines, whether that means patience, structure, or extra affection. Got a dog who pulls on the leash? I’ve got you. Got a cat who needs a little extra love and reassurance? I’ve got that covered too. I’m here for all your needs. I do work a typical 8-4 job with other hobbies of mine. But I’m open on weekends and nights! Weekends are pretty open both Saturday and Sunday. Nights I’m available for walks and drop ins after 5pm! I have a fenced in yard. However I am going to prefer to come to your house. My dog is a queen and would rather me not bring home dogs. Lol.
“Idaly, took care of my fur babies while we were on our family vacation. My dog Teddy is a rescue and gets high anxiety. Idaly, was very kind, loving and caring to my Teddy. My fur babies always looked happy in every picture that she sent me. my two cats loved her as well! With this, I was able to relax on my vacation. I highly recommend her and would definitely use her again. Thanks again 😊”

I’m very comfortable and familiar with dog care and all different types of pets. I’m able to accommodate to any different type of setting and any type of dog
“Jennifer was amazing! She watched our cat, Shrimp Toast, over the Thanksgiving holiday while we were out of town visiting family, and we felt SO at ease. She communicated great with us, provided us the cutest pictures of Shrimp Toast, was considerate, and most of all, our cat loved her! I look forward to having the peace of mind I did on this trip as I do my next :)”
“My cats were well taken care of received live updates and photos. They looks so happy and healthy. The fact that my cats interacted with Gina and Alana says alot! I will be re-booking!”

I focus on creating a calm, safe experience by following each pet’s established habits, routines, and care instructions closely. I focus on providing both mental and physical stimulation based on each pet’s needs. This can include walks, playtime, enrichment activities, and maintaining a consistent routine.

About: I’m a reliable and caring college student who genuinely enjoys being around animals. I’ve had my two cats for the past two years, so I’m used to feeding them, cleaning litter boxes, playing with them, and making sure they’re happy and comfortable every day. I’ve also helped friends care for their dogs by feeding them, taking them on walks, playing with them, and keeping them company while they were away. Outside of pet care, I’ve worked as a private caregiver and in customer service, which has taught me how to be responsible, patient, and dependable. I know how important it is to trust someone with a loved one, whether it’s a person or a pet, and I’ll always treat your pets with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I’m currently a college student and work part time so I make sure to plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for. I’m available on many weekdays and weekends and will always make time to give your pet the attention, exercise and care they deserve. I’ll keep you updated while you’re away so you know your pet is in good hands. I know every pet has their own routine, and I always do my best to stick to it. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or stopping by for visits, I’ll follow your instructions carefully and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ve cared for my own two cats for the past two years and have also helped friends care for their dogs through feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. My experience as a private caregiver has taught me to be patient, dependable, respectful of other people’s homes, and attentive to small details, so you can feel confident that your pet will be treated like one of my own.
“My dog Onyx looked forward to his walks and play time with Giselle. She arrived timely and followed instructions well. She came to my home twice a day for two days straight and she was great. She really came through in a pinch! Will use her services again without a doubt!”
“Lana was great with Henry while we were away for three days. She dropped in for afternoon walks. She was on time and sent pictures. True animal lover! We can’t wait to use her going forward!”
About: I have over 6 years of experience in pet sitting for friends and family. My husband and I have a super friendly and playful Labrador Retriever who we absolutely adore! Together, we love playing, cuddling and training/exercising her every day. We love going to the dog park and take walks to a nearby lake. We also like making new pet buddies. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your fur babies. I work from home and will be with your per throughout the care period. My house is spacious with a huge fenced backyard, so you can be assured that your loved pet will have plenty of space to run and play around.

Day care is 8 hrs stay, and extended hours will be charged $8/hr. I am also available for boarding during the weekdays and weekends. Pets will be taken care of as per specified instructions. Your pet will play in the fenced yard. Pictures will be shared throughout their stay with me.
“Paola was so reliable and flexible. I had to change my request a few times and each time she responded quickly that it was no issues for her. She arrived exactly as requested and did all the tasks that I asked of her. She texted me when she had a question, which made feel so confident that she was taking everything very serious and didn't want to make a mistake. I will 100% contact her again when I go away.”
“Gabe did an excellent job caring for our two cats while we were away! One of them requires insulin injections and has a few quirks, and Gabe handled everything with confidence and care. He clearly paid attention during the meet and greet and followed instructions closely. Communication was great, and we felt totally at ease knowing they were in good hands. We’d happily book with Gabe again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ledgewood
Emily was absolutely amazing. We had a very unusual situation where we lost power the night before leaving for vacation, which meant we could not leave Tucker at home as planned. Emily was incredibly understanding and stayed available in case the power came back on and we were able to leave. When the power was finally restored, she refunded us for the days she did not need to come, even though she did not have to. We had specifically asked her to remain available during that time, so we truly appreciated her honesty, flexibility, and understanding. Once we were able to leave for our vacation, Emily was wonderful with Tucker. She took him on really nice, long walks, communicated with us consistently, and did everything she could to accommodate our situation. You can often tell what someone is really like when nobody is around. We have cameras inside our home, and while I was not sitting there watching every moment, I would occasionally check in to make sure everything was going well. Every time I checked, Emily was incredibly sweet, patient, and attentive with Tucker. You can absolutely tell that Emily is a true dog person. She treats the dogs she watches like they are her own, and that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We would not hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, honest, caring, and genuinely great with dogs.
Elizabeth is a fantastic and reliable dog sitter. We’ve been using her services for over a year and have consistently had great experiences. She communicates clearly, keeps us updated while we’re away, and genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. Highly recommended.
It was a pleasure to have Rachel watch our dog over Christmas vacation. She gave our pup lots of snuggles and love, and even though we had a snowstorm while we were away she was still willing to come. (We were able to get a neighbor which was wonderful, so hopefully she got to stay home and snuggle up!) We will definitely be using her again!

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

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.
