“Really appreciated Nicole’s close attention to and care of our pets over an extended time away — including dealing with some unanticipated complications and getting to know each pet and providing fun and personalized care for each. Thanks so much!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and understand that every pet has unique needs at every stage of life. I helped care for my family’s West Highland Terrier for nearly 18 years, giving me experience with everything from energetic puppy years to the extra patience and attention senior dogs need. I also have experience caring for my parents’ young dog, dogs in my extended family and am comfortable keeping up with playful, active pets. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind that they’re in caring, dependable hands. I work as a public school music and performing arts teacher. I also teach private music lessons in the late afternoons (typically between 4:00 and 7:00 PM, Monday through Thursday), but I’m happy to work with clients to find times that fit their pets’ needs. Depending on location and scheduling, I may also be able to accommodate visits between lessons. I also have availability on Fridays and weekends, making it easier to provide reliable, consistent care. I believe communication is key and will always do my best to be flexible while ensuring your pet receives the attention and care they deserve. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is helping them feel comfortable by keeping them in their familiar routine. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any other preferences you have for your pet’s care. Whether your pet enjoys lots of attention or prefers a quieter approach, I’ll tailor my care to their individual personality and needs. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect I would my own, ensuring everything is left clean, secure, and just as I found it. After each visit, I’ll send updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

“Having a stranger come over to feed our dogs and let them into the backyard was a slightly scary idea… but then I found Nathalia! Her communication was prompt, warm, and professional, and when she came over for the Meet and Greet, I knew that our dogs would be in great hands. Winnie and Hunter (our pups) instantly took to Nathalia, and she was so kind and patient with them. Later that day, Nathalia came to feed them and let them out, and she sent over a fun and detailed report of her visit with them. I’m so glad we found her, and I’d definitely use her again!”

About: Hello! My name is Jackie, a nurturing, animal-enthusiast! I have always felt a special connection with animals. Not only do they bring me joy, but I am certain the feelings are reciprocated. Your fur babies are in good hands with me and are sure to have a great time and treated with the utmost respect, love and affection. I have many years of experience caring for others’ canines (for which I can provide references) and I am happy to provide you with my services. My experience includes overnight and long-term visits, as well as multiple doggies at a time. I am very good at following directions and providing care. My availability is pretty flexible and I am excited to help care for all of your pet accommodations!
“Amanda was amazing with my two pups! She was super attentive and made sure they were taken care of. Gave me the ease of mind knowing they were loved while I was at work! Will definitely have her again! 😊”


“Julienne is a confident and knowledgeable walker who is kind to my pup. She is excellent with following instructions and responsible with her communication and timeliness. She's great!”

About: Hi, I’m Alexandra! Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and I have years of experience caring for dogs, cats, parrots, ferrets, and many other animals. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind. I split my time between West Orange and Hoboken. In West Orange, I live with my mother, and in Hoboken, I share a spacious, pet-friendly apartment with my partner. Both have years of independent pet-sitting experience and share my love for animals. Having two welcoming homes and experienced helping hands allows me to offer more flexibility. Hoboken offers the most flexibility for overnight stays, as my partner works from home and I’m a college student with a flexible schedule. This means your fur baby will enjoy plenty of companionship, supervision, and attention throughout the day! If West Orange is more convenient, I’m always happy to arrange a meet-up there and discuss having your pet stay with us in Hoboken. We love keeping pets active and engaged, aiming for hourly walks whenever appropriate, along with playtime, cuddles, and plenty of individual attention. Every pet has a different personality, so we always follow their routine and respect their comfort level. I’m also CPR certified and happy to share frequent photos, videos, and updates so you can see how your little one is doing throughout their stay. Above all, we genuinely love what we do. We understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and we want you to feel confident knowing they’ll be treated with the same love and attention we’d give our own. Holiday Policy: Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s bookings require a minimum stay of five nights. With an additional fee I’m a college student ( business school) with a flexible schedule allowing me plenty of time to give your pet the love and attention they deserve. I split my time between West Orange, where I live with my mother, and Hoboken, where I share a spacious apartment with my partner, who works from home. Both my mother and partner have years of independent pet-sitting experience and share my love for animals. With our schedules and experience, there’s almost always someone home to provide companionship and attentive care. Animals have always been a passion of mine, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. You can expect plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, potty breaks, and personalized care tailored to your pet’s routine and comfort level. My priority is to make sure your fur baby feels safe, happy, and right at home while you’re away! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take extra care to create a welcoming, pet friendly environment by keeping potentially toxic houseplants out of my home and using pet and child safe cleaning products. Our home and backyard are fully gated, providing an added level of security. With experienced family members nearby and my partner working from home, your pet will enjoy plenty of companionship and attentive care throughout the day. We also have indoor cameras for additional peace of mind. ( Be advised based on your pets needs/size I’ll recommend which location will best fit your pet) I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications (when needed), and any special care requirements. Above all, I want your fur baby to feel right at home, surrounded by the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and videos so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands!

“Yunhan was a wonderful pet sitter! Yunhan was friendly, responsible, and reliable, with genuine care for our cats. All instructions were followed carefully, and detailed updates with plenty of photos provided great peace of mind while we were away. Communication was excellent, especially when addressing a concern about one cat not eating, with thoughtful updates and openness to guidance. We couldn’t have asked for better care and highly recommend Yunhan to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

About: I started out helping friends and colleagues with their pets, and it quickly grew into caring for high-profile families/individuals who need someone they can trust. I know your time is valuable and your privacy maybe is non-negotiable. I am here to provide a seamless, stress-free experience for your dog, ensuring they get the exercise and care they need while you’re busy with your day. Why clients choose me: • Total Discretion: I have years of experience working with high-profile households. I value your privacy and maintain a low-profile, professional presence at all times if needed. • Reliable & Hands-On: You are getting one-on-one attention from someone who understands the demands of a busy lifestyle. Whether you are just running errands for the day, need some “you time”, family event or stuck at the office late - I am available to bring peace of mind so you know your dog(s) is taken care of. Your dog(s) will never be around any other dogs as your time is solely YOUR time. • Experience: I have worked with puppies, senior dogs, dogs with special diets, dogs needing medication & even dogs that tend to be dog-aggressive. I am focused on providing the best possible care for your dog. I’m happy to chat about how I can make your daily routine easier and ensure your pet is always in great hands. Because I work fully remotely, I have the kind of flexibility that most pet care providers don’t. While others are juggling multiple clients and strict appointment windows, I am able to provide a much more consistent, reliable presence for your pet with the proper communication. Since I am not tied to a traditional office or a rigid 9-to-5, I am able to: • Provide True Flexibility: I don’t have to rush through visits. If your dog needs extra time to warm up, a longer walk, or a mid-day play session, I have the time to make that happen. • Offer Peace of Mind: Being remote means I am always nearby. Last minute client at work? Deciding to go-to happy hour with some friends? I am just a text message away. *I do have 2 days a week where I have work meetings I need to attend so scheduling may need to work around that if services are needed during those times.” Since I believe dogs thrive in their own environment, I do not bring any dogs to my place of residence, If I am at a clients home, I set-up complimentary meet & greets prior to any service being provided so we can all get to know eachother & you are comfortable with me being in your home & around your pups
About: I am a Pawsome Companion! I have been around pets most of my life, and I've been caring for cats and dogs for the last 15 years. I am very comfortable with either, and most comment about how comfortable their pets seem when they first meet me. I give them all lots of attention, belly or chin rubs (whatever they like best), and treats when Mom or Dad says that's ok. I'm new to Rover, but not new to treating your furbaby exactly how I'd treat mine - with love and care! Right now I'm doing pet care and sitting for both cats and dogs, and I'm available most days when I'm not caring for other pets already. I'm very responsive, and responsible, and looking forward to meeting and loving your precious ones. I'm ready to be a "Pawsome Companion" to your pet. Your pets are your family, but you can't always be with them or take them with you, so, I provide loving pet sitting for cats and dogs, dog walking, medicine administration, cuddles, and more! I treat all of them (and your homes) as I'd want you to treat mine. with loving and responsible care.

About: I’ve always had a love for animals, especially dogs! Being a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your fur baby.

Whether it’s going on walks, feeding, playing, or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your pet with the same love and attention I give my own! I’m currently a college student, so my schedule is pretty flexible outside of my morning classes. I’m available during the afternoons, evenings, and weekends depending on the service needed.

Brian was great! He was friendly, professional, and showed up right on time for the drop-in visit. He’s clearly experienced and comfortable with animals, which made me feel at ease. Communication was also excellent throughout. I’d definitely recommend Brian and would be happy to book with him again!

Tina was incredible. Our mini schnauzer is high wired and 12! But he was so happy and excited when we arrived home this evening after two days and three visits from Tina! Thank you so very much we will use you again and again and I advise all to do the same such a town at ease with all pictures and texts nonstop of our dog and Tina. Appreciative beyond.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Livingston 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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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.
