About: Hi there! I’m Diana. I enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m experienced with small to medium sized dogs with different personalities at varying ages from 1yrs-13yrs. I provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care, including feeding, walking, playtime, and basic grooming. I’m patient, dependable, and treat every pet like my own, making sure they always feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I understand how much your fur babies mean to you, and I’m dedicated to giving them the same care and affection you would Pet care fits naturally into my routine — I love spending time with animals. I’m available for daily or weekly care Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday from 9am–7pm. I provide pet care in my client’s home, ensuring pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m available Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday from 9am–7pm. I am also able to provide overnight care if needed on any of these days
About: I grew up in a neighborhood that had many dogs, and I would always go over to my neighbors’ houses to play with and take care of their fur babies. I currently have a happy 4 year old schnoodle who goes on walks every day and loves to play fetch. Account is run by Jennie! We are available for day and/or night boarding. I work from home three times a week (schedule is flexible, and my mom stays home on the weekends, so your fur baby will receive around the clock care. 😊 We can take the dog on multiple walks a day and we have a 13 pound friendly and happy Schnoodle to keep your dog entertained
About: 33 year old looking to earn a little extra money while working remotely full time. I'm a huge dog/animal lover! I always grew up with dogs and helped watch/take care of them. I also helped watch, walk, and take care of friends' dogs, and used to walk for Wag, so I have lots of experience with it. Your dog will get lots of love and attention from me, and all the play time he/she needs. I work remotely, so I am somewhat open for walks! I just cannot commit to anything super consistent. I’m available for more occasional walks or visits I am currently not allowed to bring dogs to my rental apartment. I’m happy to listen to your instructions on caring for them in your home
“Sherrie was amazing! She took such great care of our pup during the drop in visit, lots of love, and attention to details. It’s clear she truly cares. Can’t wait to book her again! 🐾”
About: I’ve owned dogs since I was a child. We recently lost our baby girl (who was 11.5) and we miss her terribly. I am ready to welcome pets into my home for sitting services where they’ll get safe care, lots of love and great attention. I am excited to start this sitting journey! I currently work from home two days a week and am available to ensure they are cared for throughout the day and overnight. Happy to ensure they get proper walks, play time and outdoor time according to their needs and their parents’ wants. Pets in my home will be able to roam free throughout the home, unless the parent uses crate training. They can hang with me while I work and go on walks throughout the day. I have a fenced in yard for outdoor time as well.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have always had a deep love and connection with them. While I don’t currently own a dog, I regularly care for my cousin’s dog here in New Jersey — walking, feeding, and keeping him company. I’m attentive, responsible, and genuinely passionate about animals. Your furry friend will feel right at home with me! I currently work as a secretary from 12pm to 5pm on weekdays, so I’m available for dog walking and drop-in visits in the mornings before noon and after 5pm on weekdays. I have more flexibility on weekends and can accommodate house sitting when needed! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. Since I offer walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I’m punctual, communicative, and will send regular photo updates throughout every visit so you always know your pup is happy and safe!
“Arina was great with my dogs! She was able all three of them and would highly recommend her for anyone worried about getting a sitter for multiple animals!”
“I booked Hallie to care for Nyla . I was extremely happy with the care and time Hallie spent with Nyla. In the future I will be booking Hallie to dog sit . I highly recommend others to book Hallie. Thank you Jimmy”
“This was our first time having Alexa look after our babies but it won’t be the last one! She stepped in after a last minute cancellation and took amazing care of our Stella and Rusik. Thank you again Alexa (:”
About: Dear parent(s), I thank you for considering me to look after your puppy. In the following short paragraphs you will read a little bit about me and my love for nature. SERVICE: I cater to those parents who need either a "once in a while" (but can be frequent) and/or a "last minute" sitting/walking care. I update my Rover availability based on my regular job's schedule to date to provide you a better service. ME: My love and passion for puppies began at a very young age. Growing up, I was blessed with having at least one dog in the household. During my high school years, I worked at a parrot shop located in Edgewater. There, I cared for baby parrots by handfeeding them their formula, which I prepared myself. I also kept a health chart on many baby parrots. Adults parrots were also present and cared for. My love and respect for animals has only increased through the years. Life has us all working so much that it takes us away from what we would rather do, spend time with our pets. Your dog will be cared for and looked after when you need to attend other matters. I have cared for dogs in the past, small and large (Saint Bernard the largest). I cannot pet sit in my home, but I can come to yours, though most of the time I will be out with him/her. So next time your puppy needs love and care when you need to be elsewhere, book me. I will make sure to fill that void your absence will leave, so the time he/she misses you will be less. Though I love dogs very much, I can be firm when needed. If there are any special requirements, please let me know. A. If your dog is shy, I will make sure he/she is not overwhelmed by other dogs or even humans. B. If he/she is hyper, to avoid kids being frightened. C. Do you prefer that your dog does not visit dog parks, or at least when they are not that busy? etc. I am currently a Real Estate Agent. My main working days are the weekends for open houses. This provides me with the freedom to care for your pet during the week, which is when most doggies are home-alone, but not anymore if I have a say in the matter. Building regulations and lack of space have prevented me from such joy. While I cannot pet sit at my home, I can take your dog outdoors. I try and stay physically active, so your dog will be walking and playing.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for practically all of my life. My family and friends would ask me to take care of or walk their pets and I’d always be there when they needed. I’m also used to taking care of puppies and kitties and enjoyed it no matter how tiring it may have been. My schedule right now is completely free other than going to school and so I’ll always have time to be able to walk a dog or take care of them. In my clients home if I’m pet sitting I’ll make sure I ask where their food is, where I take their water from and if there’s anything in their house that is specifically for their pet and remember that spot for future uses.
About: What sets me apart is my patience and how I read dogs instead of forcing them. I’m good with stubborn dogs, strong pullers, senior dogs, and dogs that need a little extra time to get comfortable. I stay calm, don’t rush them, and adjust to each dog’s pace and personality. I focus on safety, consistency, and trust, making sure every walk or visit is a good experience. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so you always know how your dog is doing. Ive also been around dogs of different shapes and sizes my whole life! Pet care is part of my regular routine. I plan my days around walks and visits so I’m not rushing and can focus on each pet. I stay consistent during the week and flexible when owners need adjustments. When pets are in my home, I make sure they feel safe and comfortable from the moment they arrive. I keep a consistent routine with feeding, walking, and potty breaks, and I give them time to settle in without rushing. I always supervise them, especially at first, to make sure they’re comfortable and calm. I keep my home clean, provide fresh water, and make sure they have a quiet place to rest. I also send owners updates and photos so they know their pet is doing good.
“Valerie is so kind and caring and it is so comforting leaving our puppies with her. It is so clear that she loves dogs and she goes above and beyond to take care of them. She texts updates and answers right away. We will absolutely be using Valerie again and again! Such a great person and great puppy sitter!”
“Philsung has been great since day 1! He ensures that he meets all expectations when he is caring for your dog! He makes it a point to bond with your dog and form a solid relationship. My dog is always happy after a walk with him! Plus, he takes pictures of their time together, so you know exactly what happened! Highly recommend!!”
“Allison came to visit our cats once a day while we were away for a long weekend. The cats seemed to have a nice time and were all in good spirits when we returned. She followed our instructions and reached out with any questions.”
“Jadea, did great with my dog Jax!🐾 He took to her immediately and I can already see we’ll be requesting her services in the future. She followed all of my directions, is communicative and sends pictures 🐾”
“Stephanie was terrific with my cat Coco. I’m very happy to have her take care of my cat when we go on vacation. Very reliable and has a good sense with animals. Coco is not the friendliest kitty out there! I definitely will be rebooking with Stephanie each time we go away!”
About: While I’ve never had a cat or dog (parental allergies), I’ve always loved them! My neighbors had cats and dogs so growing up I spent a lot of time around them and helped take care of them. I especially enjoy long walks :) I work from home two days a week so my schedule is pretty flexible. I would love to spend my free time with furry friends! Your pets’ safety and comfort are my top priorities! I’ll be attentive to your pets’ needs and ensure they always feel happy, safe, and loved.
About: I have taken care of and played with my own, also neighbors and friends dogs and cats. I am extremely reliable and energetic. I have played with fed, administered medication, walked, brushed, cuddled and had taken pets to be groomed along with showing them unconditional love. I work part time also have a lot of free time and energy to keep your pet company, feed, walk and care for all your pets needs both young and older pets. I can only take care of hypoallergenic dogs in my home because of asthma issues with my spouse. We are a smoke free household as well. I do not have children at home or any other pets so all my focus is on your fur babies. I have a very walkable neighborhood and a fenced in yard. I will make sure I keep your pet safe and comfortable in my home and yours. I am capable of administering any medications if needed. I will send you pictures and updates of my visits if wanted. I am very responsible and take pride in the safety and comfort of your pet.

Luz is an amazing pet sitter. She is very sweet with our French Bulldog and British Short Hair. She is extremely professional, courteous, and clean! She communicates professionally as well. We have booked with Luz multiple times and will definitely book with her again in the future. I can’t recommend her enough.
Wen has been taking care of my kitty Liam for about a year now. A couple of weeks ago while I was out of town, my roommate had a sudden medical emergency and was no longer able to take care of Liam while I was away. Wen jumped in last minute and took care of Liam for a week until I came home. I came home to a happy and healthy kitty! I am so grateful to Wen for jumping in so last minute, and it is clear that she cares deeply for the animals she looks after. I fully recommend her for any of your future pet needs!
She was an excellent cat sitter and very reliable throughout my time away. She did not miss a single visit, arrived on time, and carefully followed all my instructions. She also sent me daily updates with messages and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. It is clear that she genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. I would gladly book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
Jonathan was absolutely amazing with my fur babies and even my family. He went out his way to get some cans for them around the last few days and stayed in contact with me the whole time to keep me updated. He even left a good impression on our abuelita by chatting with her when they crossed paths. Just absolutely great, please do not hesitate to have Jonathan watch your babies. 💘
Joseph was recommended to us by another trusted sitter. He took great care of our senior cat. He followed all feeding instructions, administered her medicine, and the apartment was in good shape when we returned. We would hire him again any time to care for her.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Leonia stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
