About: Your doggos would be cared for as I would want my doggie to be cared for, thats 1000% certain. It is the golden rule I live by. I’ve had experience training puppies and sitting for them for weeks! I’d love to dog sit your doggos anytime! I’m off work this summer, so I am able to dog walk/sit anytime! That being said I would be able to work with your timelines! I make sure I get the ground rules on how the pet owner would like me to do and care for the pet. I know everyone has their own preferences on how to care and handle their pets, so I would respect and honor it. If I am in their home, I would be respectful and clean as it is their home and I would be a guest.
“This was our second time booking Taylor, and we will definitely use her again in the future! She is very responsible and follows all the instructions to the letter. We love her updates and pictures, too!”
“Dante did a wonderful job taking care of our babies last minute for us! He was very flexible as we did not know exactly what our travel plans would look like and was very accommodating which was so helpful for us as we were traveling with two young kids and we did not know how that was going to go. One less stress was our pups being cared for. When we got home our fur babies were relaxed, happy and showed zero signs of any stress. From their happy tails and fun pictures we received during his visit, we can tell they enjoyed Dante coming to check on them while we were away! Thank you so much for your help over the weekend !!”

I’ve built my own dog sitting and walking business over the years, and I truly treat every pet like they’re my own.

Your pet’s happiness and safety are always my top priority 💛 Let’s set up a meet & greet—I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend!

“Definitely Daniela is the type of person who loves, cares, enjoy and have a good chemistry with animals, specially with cats. the way Daniela expresses herself about pets and treat them like they were her own pets… that shows her experience with animals and her lovely personality. she did a good job spending time with my cats, feeding and playing with them. One of my cats is female and she is super shy and she takes her time when getting to know new people, but as soon as she smelled and got close to Daniela , my cat became friendly with her and in that moment I knew Daniela was the perfect person to take care of my cats whenever I’m not home. Daniela provided an excellent service and now she is someone who I can totally trust. 10/10.”

About: With over 16 years of hands on pet care experience, I’ve had the joy of looking after dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I grew up surrounded by family dogs, taking an active role in their feeding, grooming, bathing, exercise, and playtime. Over the years, I’ve learned how to read a dog’s body language, keep them mentally stimulated, and make them feel safe and loved no matter how long they’re with me. My girlfriend Goldie is currently in school to become a Vet and has been caring for animals even longer than me! , Your baby will always be in a pet-friendly, knowledgeable environment. My flexible work schedule as a tattoo artist means there’s almost always someone home to give your dog attention, walks, and companionship.

“Deb has been walking our dog Creasy for a few months now. She's reliable, flexible, and a great communicator. She's exactly what you want in a dog walker/sitter. We couldn't be happier. Thanks Deb!!!”
About: I have been a dog lover for all my life and realize they require lots of love and attention each day. I will treat your dog as if he/she were my own so you never have to worry while you're away. If your dog is more energetic and prefers running instead of walks, then I will certainly do that. Or, if your dog needs to go at a slower pace, I can do that too. I have experience with puppies all the way up to senior dogs and can administer pills and/or oral supplements. My availability is very flexible and I will try to make time even if it is short notice. I am very responsible so you can definitely count on me to keep your furry friend happy and safe when you're unable to be there with them. If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to send a message or give me a call. Thank you!
“Emily is amazing! She met my dog the day before his walk/feeding to help get acquainted with him and I showed her where all of his things are. Which I really appreciated. She texted me updates and confirmed details about the visit. She was so sweet and empathetic towards Mylo. I am thankful for her availability since my schedule is so busy. Overall 10/10. We are thankful to have her as our new dog walker :)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Linden
It is our second time booking with Sara and we feel so lucky to have found her. She is wonderful with our pup, she updates and submits a card at each visit and sends us lots of pictures. We came home to a happy puppy! We highly recommend Sara! Don't hesitate, she is the very best!
Joanne was AMAZING with our lil ones. We never had someone come over to take care of them other than close family, so we were a little worried but Joanne gave us the confidence with excellent communication, always on time and sending us pictures. Thanks to her we were able to enjoy our vacation! We appreciate it so much. We will definitely be booking again. Super highly recommended!
Taylor was absolutely wonderful with my dog! She watched him for two days and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She kept me updated with messages and photos, and it was clear that she treated him like he was her own. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I could tell he got plenty of love and attention. I would absolutely book with Taylor again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!
Nicolas (Cole) was great to communicate with. He gave detailed feedback on how our dogs were doing while we were home. He took the initiative to find our cat and made sure he got attention too ! Coke’s puts his heart in his work with the pets. We will gladly request to have him return.
Hazel is incredibly reliable. Every year our walker goes on vacation for a month. For the past three years we’ve been able to rely on Hazel to step in & take care of our furbaby, who can be super anxious. Hazel is attentive, communicative, patient kind and gentle with our Mona & we are so grateful.
Nathalia did a great job! She made sure Dior was loved and well taken care of. I strongly recommend her services to anyone out there looking for a loving and compassionate dog sitter that will look after your dog as if it’s her own! I will definitely be rebooking in the future, I can’t thank her enough!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Linden 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.
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 Linden 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 Linden 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.
