“I want to sincerely say thank Jenniffer for taking care of my Luna even with a stomach bug. She took her time and was patient with Luna even though she wasn't feeling. Jennifer was very flexible with the scheduling which I really appreciated. I will definitely use her again for all my dog walking/sitting needs!”
“Dina was absolutely incredible! Her knowledge and experience working with labs (and large dogs), was very comforting for my fiancee and myself, as our chocolate lab is just shy of 100LBs. Dina was always on time, and we know that her time spent with Luca was never rushed. She spent more than 30 minutes with Luca on each of her visits; walking him around the neighborhood multiple times in a single visit - something no other walker has previously done for him. Additionally, Dina took the time to send us photos of our baby throughout her visits - which we all loved to see. Luca told us that he loved Dina and that he'd prefer for her to watch him during our future travels... I think she told him about her pool! Jonathan”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life and currently have two dogs of my own. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make each pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As an active person who enjoys walking and being outdoors, I can provide energetic walks for dogs who need exercise while also giving gentle attention to senior dogs who prefer a slower pace. I’m dependable, communicative, and will treat your pets like they’re part of my own family. I know how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet with someone else, and I’ll provide updates and photos so you know they’re in great hands. I’m a stay-at-home mom of two school-aged children and am looking for flexible work that allows me to care for pets during school hours. My schedule is open on weekdays while my children are in school, and for certain walks or drop-in visits, my kids may accompany me when appropriate. I’m reliable, active, and love spending time outdoors with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I currently have two friendly dogs of my own and treat every pet as if they were part of my family. I follow owners' instructions carefully, prioritize safety on walks and during visits, and provide regular updates with photos for peace of mind. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away.
About: I am dog/cat CPR/FA certified and have provided many years of animal care, as well as always owning my own. I have experience training pups on tricks and potty training. I have also had experience with end of life pets providing comfort care and medication administration. I provide daily care for my animals at home! I work from home every day and I have a generally flexible schedule. I am able to walk away from my desk to help you care for your loved ones on short notice. I have a home with a fenced in yard and my two dogs and cat love to hang out in it! When caring for others pets, I will always do a walk around of the property to ensure it is safe for the pet to explore. I always prefer if the pet parent leaves me with a checklist or letter for their preferences and will follow this. I will always ask about allergies, triggers and history for the pet to ensure they are safe with me, other people, and another pets.
About: What sets me apart is my patience, compassion, and genuine love for animals. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities. From energetic puppies who need extra attention, patience, and guidance to senior animals who may need more time, gentle care, and understanding, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I treat every animal like family and give them the same love, attention, and respect I would want for my own pets. Whether they need playtime, extra cuddles, a little reassurance, or simply someone patient enough to move at their pace, I’m there for them. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m able to dedicate time throughout the day to walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and giving each pet the individual attention they need. I understand that pets thrive on consistency and routine, so I make their care a priority and do my best to keep them comfortable, happy, and on their normal schedule. I’m also patient and flexible when a pet needs extra time, attention, or special care—whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior pet who prefers a slower pace. I care for every pet as if they were my own, while respecting their individual personality, routine, and comfort level. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions carefully and keep their normal schedule as consistent as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of love and attention. I also treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would give my own. My goal is for both the pet and their family to feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for.
“Jennifer is a life saver and is taking wonderful care of our precious baby. She has been a blessing when I had to go to work while my husband is out of town, and so flexible with last minute changes that came up unexpectedly. We cannot thank you enough!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child. Lots of experience in caring for dog and dog walking. I also have experience in caring for a pet after surgery and administering medication. I understand how important it is for your dog to be comfortable while you are away from home. I work full-time, but I work from home two days a week. Those days I would be available for dog walking or checking in on your pet. Could do in-home sitting, preferably on weekends, but should be able to fit weekdays schedule also. I would be caring for your pet in your home. This would make them the most comfortable being in their own house. I will try to stick to the same routines that the owner does.
“I couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter! Johnathan provided regular updates, including photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog was happy, wait for him , and got plenty of exercise and attention. It’s clear that Johnathan genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel comfortable. I highly recommend Johnathan to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible dog sitter!”
“Christina has been absolutely fabulous. She is super responsive and extremely responsible but more than anything she’s great with my fur baby. It’s incredible that she is able to sense my dogs energy from just interacting with him. Overall Christina has been just so helpful and provides us with a peace of mind when we’re not home.”

Cordelia has been a wonderful dog walker for Pepper. She is very reliable, puntual, caring, and clearly loves dogs. Pepper always barks when someone is at the door but not with her, she is happy to see her! She communicates with us all the time, send us pics and it’s very flexible! I highly recommend her.
Dina was very responsive upon our initial booking. She asked great questions and did an initial assessment before accepting the assignment. We appreciated her taking the time to get to know our fur babies and her commitment to their care. She quickly adapted to our one dog's behavior who didn't want to walk long. So she knew to take him back early. She is very personable and caring to make both our fur babies at ease. Thank you!
Ryan helped me with my dog in such a short notice!! Really appreciate his flexibility and patience with my big boy King! He can be very handful for some walkers! He was great with him send such adorable pictures and updates!! My mind was at ease knowing my baby was in good hands!! Would definitely book again and and recommend 100%

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Matawan. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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 walker.
