“This was my first time using rover and Kristy exceeded all of my expectations. She came and met me for a meet and greet the day before, sent me tons of pics of Layla, and updates on how she was doing! It allowed me to have the perfect beach day with my friends knowing Layla was in good hands”

About: Hi! I’m Abbey — a lifelong animal lover who grew up with three dogs of my own. I’ve also helped several families, neighbors, and friends with walks, feedings, and check-ins. I’m reliable, caring, and always make sure pets feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I’m available on weekends and during mornings and evenings throughout the week. Whether it’s a quick walk, feeding, or drop-in visit, I’m happy to make sure your pets get the care and attention they need. When caring for pets in their own home, I always follow the owner’s instructions and routines to keep things consistent and comfortable. I make sure pets get fresh water, food, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I treat every home with respect and every pet like my own.
About: I am a dog mom of 2 awesome dogs. I had a dog that passed away last year who was paralyzed and had required special care for 7 years until she passed away at 13 years old. My pets are my family and I would treat your fur babies the same way. I also have 2 cats who are equally awesome. I am 59 and have had many kinds of breeds in my life that have required special types of care. I have been doing pet care for many years and it’s undoubtedly the most enjoyable job because I get to visit and play with your animals. What can be better than that! I am very responsible and most importantly reliable. Let me lighten your load and give you peace knowing your animals are in good hands. I am retired so I do not have a set schedule so I am available at any time you need. I have a lot of free time and can work around my home schedule easily I would follow whatever instructions you give, respect your home and animals and I am a very responsible pet owner. I would most definitely spend quality time with your pet. Pet care is my only job. I have been doing it for years so I have a super flexible schedule . I am available 7 days a week if my schedule permits . My pets are part of our family and are pretty spoiled. There are 3 people at home and my husband and I both work from home so they get a lot of attention . If I come to your home, I will respect your home, your animals, and I would treat your pet as if they were my own.
About: My wife and I share a love of dogs and have raised many throughout our lives. We will provide a safe and loving environment for your pet. We offer personalized care that meets the needs of your dog, making our home, their home, away from home. We have experience administering medications, caring for senior dogs, taking dogs for walks and have a fenced in yard for active pups. We are recently retired and currently do not have a dog. We have no children living at home, although we have an active home with many dog loving grandchildren that visit and since they all have their own dogs, will love playing with yours. We are currently retired and have time to dedicate to your pet. We enjoy being outside and would love to spend time with your dog by either walks, playing in the yard or visiting the park. Our home is pet friendly, allowing your dog to roam freely. We have a fenced in yard for play and a deck that dogs enjoy sunning themselves on. Going for a walk, taking time to understand your dogs needs and just spending time with your dog is our priority.
About: After spending nearly a decade as a nurse, I decided it was time to make a career shift to do what I really love, which is working with animals. I am a full-time pet sitter, bonded & insured. I've been caring for others for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family home was affectionately known as "the zoo." Dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, fish... you name it, we probably had one. I'm comfortable administering medications, caring for senior pets, and supporting animals with more complex medical needs. My background in healthcare was so valuable in teaching me the importance of empathy, patience and compassionate care, and now I get to share those qualities with each and every animal that I work with. Whether your pet needs a walk, medication, or just a trusted friend while you're away, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I can't wait to meet your furry, feathered, or scaly family members! I am a full-time, professional pet sitter and have open availability to help take care of your pets! Once you have completed a meet & greet, same-day requests are available as well. Every pets has different needs and I will make sure to follow your pets schedule as closely as possible. At the meet and greet we will discuss how frequently your pet needs go potty, have their litter changed, feeding schedules, medication, etc and keep you up-to-date on everything that happened during our visits.
About: I am extremely flexible with my schedule and can typically help out last minute. I’m very organized, thorough, careful, and caring. I have cared for both pets and children for as long as I can remember and have always been told I had a natural gift in doing so. I am in a transition period for my full-time job in sales, and will have FULLY OPEN AVAILABILITY this summer to dedicate to you and your best friend 🐾 I am an at home worker with a very flexible schedule and can be available VERY early mornings as well! I live locally and would love to help out. I am extremely active and love taking dogs on long walks, playing games with them, and tailoring my care to any specific needs. I have a big apartment and a large dog (golden retriever/labradoodle mix - VERY sweet and friendly). Finn has stayed with dog breeds of all types and has never been aggressive (or anything but TOO submissive 😂) around all dogs. We have a 6 year old who stays with us every other weekend and Finn is as gentle with him as he would be an infant. He is truly the sweetest dog on the planet and would never hurt a fly. If you are not comfortable with your pet being with another dog, I would happily watch the dogs in your home and keep them separate.

“Karma was so excited to arrive at Mary and Aaron’s house! He remembered it from our meet and greet months earlier and couldn’t wait to get in the yard to play. He had a great day and came home exhausted and happy! We will definitely be bringing him there again.”

About: I'm a lifelong dog lover with plenty of experience caring for family pets and neighbors' dogs, often stepping in as a trusted pet sitter when they’re away. Over the years, I’ve learned how to handle different breeds and temperaments with patience and care, always making sure each dog feels comfortable and safe in my home. I also have a well-trained dog of my own, who’s friendly and well-behaved, however, when I watch other dogs, they’ll have the house to themselves on occasion, (as he frequently spends time visiting his grandma!), giving them space to relax without the stress of interacting with a new animal. My goal is always to provide a calm, loving environment where your dog feels right at home. I’m currently working freelance and have the flexibility to watch your pet as needed during the week and weekend. With advanced notice, I am able to provide boarding/overnight services. My home offers a clean, open floor plan with plenty of space for your dog to relax and explore comfortably. There’s an enclosed outdoor patio for fresh air and sun, along with two large dog beds topped with clean sheets to help your pup feel right at home. I also provide natural treats as a little extra touch to keep them happy and satisfied. When your pet is staying with me, they’ll be my top priority. I’m committed to giving them my full attention, care, and affection during their visit.
About: Hi my name is Micaela and one thing about me is that I adore animals! I love all animals so very much. I also feel that I work really well with them. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. Most of my dogs have been big dogs so I’m pretty good with handling any challenge that’s thrown my way. I’ve had more aggressive and protective dogs as well as laid back dogs and I’ve loved all. I’ve also worked at local shelters in my hometown and felt that that helped me gain more experience working with varying animals. I trained a couple of my dogs from a young age and though I’m not certified I felt that I did a pretty good job. I’m very patient and very genuine. I also watched my dogs whenever my parents would go on business trips which was quite often so I’d say this is the perfect job for me! I’m a college student but have majority of my classes online so my schedule is pretty clear. I love being outdoors and in nature so dog walking is right up my alley. I also love just chilling at home so I have no problem with that as well. I will always be respectful of others space especially if they are allowing me to stay in their home and watch their animals. I would say I’m a pretty neat person and don’t mind cleaning up if anything is needed. Genuinely it makes me happy to help others around the house if necessary. I used to babysit for a while and would always tidy up when I could find the time. I recently moved and now live with my grandparents and mom. We also have a chocolate lab who’s very energetic and loves to play. We have a fenced in yard and a conservation close to our house so there’s plenty of space for the animals. We love having dogs in the house.
“Katie was wonderful with Austen. I hired her last minute for doggy day care and she had everything ready for him. He was very happy when I got there. She sent me a pic even though it was only for 5 hours. I highly recommend her.”
About: I have experience with all dogs, big and small. I can be trusted with all activities, from day care to simple walks around the neighborhood. My work is flexible with time and place. I work in homes and telehealth, so I am home for majority of the day. I would only be out a maximum 2 hours. I take care of the pup and their environment! I will make sure to take cautionary measures to prevent injury, including keeping the home cleaned and free of items that they could pick up.
“Bella had a great time at Jamie's, running in her nice grassy backyard. I really appreciate that Jamie was able to watch Bella while we went to the beach, and was very flexible about the drop off and pickup. And cute photos and videos are great!”

“Linda was Amazing! She took great care of my dog and was very flexible and accommodating. She consistently provided updates and pictures throughout the day to assure me that he was doing well Would definitely recommend and use again in the future”

About: Hey there, I am an experienced dog sitter who would love to look after your pet. I am available for check ins during the work day as my work is flexible and remote. Price would depend on time spent and distance from Tinton Falls. I also have a lovely, fenced in 3 acer property in Tinton Falls that is heaven for all breeds. My mother and I have a 2 year old Lab Hank who’s friendly as can be and loves to play. We can set up meet and greets before hand so you can see the property and the dogs get a chance to meet. Price on boarding is subject to dogs needs. All dogs must be 100% potty trained unless it’s a puppy in training then we can work out a price and I can mimic and continue your training to keep your pet consistent. I offer walks any time open for price discussion based on the dogs on lead training I can do house sitting but prefer boarding as I have of my own. House sitting pricing would be based on the needs and responsibilities required. I currently work from home and have flexible hours. This makes me free during the normal business hours for walks or feedings. I also have free time at night if needed. I have a huge fenced in yard (3 acres) for your dog to run and play. I live with my mother who works from home so someone is always here. We have one Dog Hank a 2 year old yellow lab with lots of energy for new friends. He is very submissive and has never had an issue with another dog or humans.
“This is my first time leaving Stella for the day when I adopted her about 2 months ago. Rachel is the best as she keep me informed about how Stella was doing throughout the day and kept her very active. It really took the stress/anxiety away while I had to take care of my activities for that day. I know Rachel did a great job looking after Stella as Stella slept soundly that night :-) Cheers”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Long Branch commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NJ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 9,828 sitters in Long Branch, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.

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.
