About: I've been dog walking and pet sitting for over 10 years now. I absolutely love to hang out with your pets! Neighbors, friends and family have always relied on me to take care of their pets in every way. I have plenty of reviews and references to provide. I am currently working part time, but I have a flexible schedule. I am available weekdays and weekends for drop ins and dog walking. :) Though, I do not offer in home pet sitting, I am 100% capable to provide the love and attention your pets need in your own home. I have had dogs, cats, reptiles, and many other pets in my 30 years of living. I am comfortable in any situation and have worked with plenty of different attitudes our pets show us. Good and bad! I no longer offer overnight visits, but I offer drop ins and short term visits.
About: I’ve cared for many cats/dogs since I was 10. My partner is a dog trainer and works at a daycare/training facility with his family he has taught me so much about dogs and their behaviors. I’m currently open availability. So if you need someone more consistent I’m available for daily walks and visits and over night home care or boarding Depending on your dogs bathroom schedule they will have multiple times outside and walks. I will feed them and give them meds if needed. If they like to play we will play too.
“Maria was AMAZING! My two kitty cats warmed up to her instantly which, if you have a cat, that says A LOT about how warm and inviting her energy is. I’m just traveling in this area so I’m not local but if I was… I would definitely be hiring Maria every time to take care of my babies. Thank you again!”
About: I've been taking care of my rescue dog Elliot for over 6 year now. Recently I've started volunteering at the local humane society, getting to walk and play with some of the dogs as well as the cats. I recently moved back to New Jersey to hep out my parents with some medical issues, so I am currently available to look after your pets full time! I always like to be as slow and gebtle as possible to let the pets get comfortable with approaching me first. My dog was very anxious when I first adopted home at the rescue so I understand the importance of letting your pet feel comfortable and keeping them from being overwhelmed.
“Jamie was fantastic and great at communicating. She took really good care of our dogs and rabbit. After the nightmare we had with another sitter on Rover, Jamie was a great relief. I would highly recommend her!”
“Sterlin is great! Quick to respond, easy to talk to, accepted my last minute request. She was great with Merlin, kept me posted, send me lots of pics and I could see my dog loved and was having a fun time. I gave me a lot on piece of mind! I’m absolutely gonna book with her next time! Thank you Sterlin!”
About: I am currently a professional dog bather and groom prepper. I have 1+ year of professional experience, plus 10+ years of personal experience raising two energetic cats and one Great Dane (from puppy to end of life). For dogs, my best approach is to establish trust and gauge their comfortability with me. My job has taught me the proper ways to care for scared and timid dogs, and I am not shy when it comes to handling energetic, bitey, 100+ lb dogs. For cats, it is important to match the play style that is built into their genetics. That makes the experience fun for both! I am currently working full-time as a pet and dog washer and groom prepper in Margate, NJ. I live at the edge of Atlantic City and Ventnor, where I love walking around and enjoying the place I live. I have over a year of experience working with energetic, large, feisty, 100+ pound dogs. I have learned that sometimes the way to keep pets the safest is to be direct with my handling of them. Additionally, in my line of work, I routinely interact with dogs that are scared, shy, and timid. I am able to build trust with them even across the inherent language barrier.
About: Hello! My name is Richard Richmond and I want to play with your dog!! I have never met a dog I don’t like and am able to adapt my dog-sitting style to many different types of dogs. Whether it be an active German Shepard who wants to run around, a young pup who needs to be kept an eye on, or even an old dog who’s maybe had their better days behind them, I can adapt to bebthe dog-sitter you need me to be. I will be sure to strictly adhere to any instructions given to me concerning the dog’s needs. If you allow me into your home I will be sure to leave it in better condition than I found it and if your dog comes into my home we will treat him like one of the family. Currently part time employed so I can give your dogs all the love and care they deserve! I can adjust my schedule around your needs. I will cater to my clients’ dogs needs. I can take them out on long walks or play with them at home or in the yard.
About: I’ve had my own dog and have cared for family and friends dogs for years. I also have dog bathing and nail trimming experience. I have a dog with anxiety so I know how to be patient and caring with them. While working as a dog bather I made sure the dogs felt safe and loved in a new environment. I currently work part time so I am available thursday through sunday to help take care of you and your pets needs! My hours vary each day and are open early morning to night time In my home I allow dogs on furniture and in beds. I also have a long leash for them to run around outback. I can provide dog washing as well. I can take them on walks or snuggle up with them. If they have any specific needs I can help with that as well.

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.
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 .

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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
