About: My home was set up for an 80lb dog with a fenced in yard and areas around the house. Should be very comfortable for any dog. I’m very attentive to the pets, making sure their needs are met and that they are safe and sound. When I take on a job, my schedule is pretty cleared out for it since I’m a retired person. I can schedule my time around the care of your pet. I care for pets in my home by keeping an eye on them. Taking them out into the fenced yard and walking them twice a day. If they like to play fetch or tug I’ll do that with them too. I keep them fed, watered, exercised and rested.
“We are so happy with Kimberley’s care of our cats while we were away. She built trust quickly with our cats, administered medicine and we knew our cats were in good hands. We will definitely book her again!”

About: I have had dogs all my life. I'm retired and the best way to spend my time is with dogs. I also have experience grooming dogs: wired-haired breeds are my specialty - I do stripping). I'm pretty much available any day / time. Afternoons and nights are best, but don't worry, I have your dog covered based on your needs. My current dog is an English Bull Terrier (Spuds MacKenzie or the Target dog). I have a fenced yard and but also take her (Daisy) on short/long walks daily. I can likewise walk / play with you dog as you wish. I have also taken/passed the NJ Animal Control Officer course/exam.

“This service is amazing and Patti is like an angel taking care of my precious cat. He's the love of my life so I was a little worried at first. He took to Patti immediately which eased my mind completely. I highly recommend her and this app!”


About: I provide structured, attentive dog care in a calm home environment where dogs feel safe, understood, and well-managed. Because I work from home, your dog will have consistent supervision throughout the day. I focus on reinforcing calm behavior and clear boundaries so dogs can settle quickly — especially when they’re in a new space away from their guardians. I grew up with a cocker spaniel my family rescued from an abusive home, which taught me early on the importance of patience and understanding a dog’s emotional state. As an adult, I cared for an active young pit bull for two years, which deepened my experience working with different temperaments and energy levels. I’m now a proud dog mom to a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Lucky, who is well-socialized, gentle, and respectful of other dogs’ space. He helps create a calm, balanced environment for visiting dogs. Our day typically starts between 7–8am with outdoor time in the backyard, followed by breakfast and a relaxed start to the day. Because I work from home, dogs are never left alone for long periods and can settle into a steady, predictable routine. I live in a quiet, low-traffic area in a ranch-style home with very few stairs — ideal for dogs of all ages, including seniors. My home includes a fully fenced half-acre backyard for safe outdoor time and fresh air.
“Bridget was great and super flexible. She made time to accept a last minute booking with us and take care of charlie. She even found the way to complete her visits when she had car issues.”

“Jess was an absolute delight - dropped in and took care of my kitties while we went away. She was super flexible, personable and definitely has a love for animals! We would use her again in a heart beat!”

“Brittany started doing drop in visits for me today. She was fantastic. My dogs are very barky but she seemed to handle it very well and got them very calm to go out and do their business. Everything was perfect. Thank you !”
About: I have over two years of professional experience working with dogs and have been a dog owner for more than 15 years. I believe in allowing dogs to approach at their own pace and building trust through patience and understanding. I have experience caring for puppies as well as dogs with behavioral challenges. I am the owner of Outreach Dog Walking LLC. I’m a college student with flexible availability. The only times I’m unavailable are Tuesdays before 1 PM and Thursdays. I live at home, so overnights at my home aren’t an option, but I’m happy to stay overnight at your home if needed. I am capable of handling multi-dog families. Due to my background, I'm used to seeing sibling sets of 2-3, despite never personally owning more than 2 dogs at 1 time
About: I've had pets my entire life and treat everyone like family; I specialize with senior pets and rescues! Your pet will be treated like mine - family! I'm currently working and would love to pet sit for your Pet Pal - either nights, weekends or during holidays - I can provide the utmost care and support for your pet! I prefer to take care of your pet in your home - its best to keep them in their environment and am happy to stay overnight if needed to give them the best experience and care.

“Kacy was the best & well worth the $100 tip! She provided last minute services to pick up my Remi (whom she had never met) from the vet and followed detail instructions to take her to the suites. This was a very challenging decision as I am not from or live in NJ and didnt know anyone. This dog lover is the best! I will use her services again hands down! Me & Remi thank you so much Kacy!”


About: I've been a dog owner and animal lover for over 20 years, and caring for pets has always been one of my greatest joys. Friends and family have trusted me for years to care for their dogs, whether that means daily walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship and lots of love. I'm an avid walker and typically walk about 3 miles every day, so I'd love nothing more than to have a furry friend join me! I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and routine, and I'm committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. I promise to treat your pet as if they were my own, with plenty of attention, patience, affection, and care. I'm reliable, communicative, and happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're apart from your best friend. Whether your pup loves long walks, leisurely strolls, playtime, or just some extra company during the day, I'd be honored to help! I am self employed with a flexible schedule and work mostly evenings and weekends. So, during the week, I have lots of time to meet with your furry family members. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine. I'll always follow your instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and any special needs your pet may have. As a longtime pet owner and animal lover, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home. I will treat both with the same care and respect I would my own, and I'll provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your furry family member is happy and well cared for.
“Maeghan was so wonderful with our pups Checkers and Ava! She arrived on time and provided top notch care during her visit. She communicated all aspects of the visit to us and kindly provided photos. Maeghan is professional and we felt very safe with our dogs in her care. Highly recommended!”

About: Hi, I’m Isabella and I’m passionate about providing safe, loving, and reliable care! Your pet’s comfort and well-being are always my top priority, as my experience with a variety of species supports my desire to provide. I currently work at a veterinary hospital, caring for pets of all ages (from babies to seniors) so I’m comfortable handling a wide range of needs. My experience goes beyond work also as I’ve had a variety of pets throughout my life! I’m currently finishing up some summer college credits, which gives me great flexibility for early morning and mid-to-late day check-ins after class. My schedule is consistent week-to-week, so you can count on reliable timing and routine for your pet! I tailor my care to each pet’s routine to keep them as comfortable and stress-free as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely and prioritize any preferences your pet is used to. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you feel confident your pet is in good hands!
About: I have such a big heart for animals and a connection to them with a passion for taking care of any type of animal! I grew up taking in rescues with my family at home. We have rescued a senior yorkie, four kittens, and a deaf kitty. I currently have one 4 year old maltipoo at home and one goldfish! In the past we had fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, bearded dragons, and lizards at home. Throughout the years I love participating in anything involving innocent fur babies. For two years I pet sit my sisters french bulldog with GI issues and my brothers cat. At the same time I was in a P.A.W.S (protecting animals without stability) club in high school. I currently volunteer at two animal shelters since 2022. After high school I pursued an associates degree in Biology while participating in a veterinary assistant program. I graduated the program and continued on to getting my first full time job at a veterinary hospital as an approved veterinary assistant! Therefore, I have knowledge on animal anatomy, sickness and care procedures. I plan to complete my Biology degree while working full time and helping to take care of your fur babies 💗 I am currently in school pursuing a science degree while working part time at a hospital. I pet sit, house sit and dog walk. I am available weekdays and weekends for any help you need with your fur babies. I am very flexible and work around school to continue my passion of animal care. I will make sure to socialize and spend quality time your pets. I will take them on energetic walks and make sure they are fed and comfortable!

Christina was very friendly and had great communication with me throughout the week. Although my kitty is a VERY shy boy, she tried her best to give him attention and encourage him with toys and treats. She even stayed longer on some days! Very happy with my experience and I would rebook Christina again in the future!! :)

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 Marlboro 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 .

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.
