“Heather has watched our cat many times, and she has done an outstanding job each time! Superb communication, and we‘re grateful that we don’t have to worry about a thing when we’re away. We’re going to greatly miss having her take care of our cat as we’re moving away and can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Kim has always been flexible and reliable when it comes to taking care of our fur babies. She always goes above and beyond and we always feel at ease knowing our animals are in good care when we’re gone.”
“Highly recommend Monica! My cat is a sufferer of the COVID telework anxiety and she took great care of him while I was on leave. I even know my cat was a happy customer by evidence of his toys everywhere and his happy full belly. Monica was great at providing me updates with pictures and notes on his care for that visit.”
“Jessica is the best! She is reliable, so easy to work with, and always quick to respond. And she is so great with my cat! Jessica really loves animals and makes sure they get lots of love and cuddles. I feel so lucky to have found Jessica, she is truly amazing!”
“Melissa was great to work with! I really appreciated the photos and daily report card on our cat, October. It made me feel safe knowing he was being well taken care of while we were away. Thank you!”
“Alicia took great care of our cats and dog while we were away! We returned to well cared for pets, clean litter, and pup who enjoyed her walks and time to run outside. We will have her back in the future!”
“Alyssa was very thoughtful and took great care of our cats. They were immediately comfortable with her and it’s clear she has a lot of experience with animals. She also managed our older cat’s multiple medications very well!”
“Lauren provided amazing service! She was attentive, reliable, and treated my sister's cat with so much care. I felt completely at ease knowing she were in her hands. I will definitely be booking her again.”
About: I am in my 10th year of working as a dog walker & pet sitter for small local companies, but I am new to Rover. I’m certified in first aid and CPR for dogs and cats. I am also a member of the Association of Professional Pet Sitters. I’m passionate about rescue animals. In addition to my own adopted pets, I’ve fostered dogs and kittens and am involved as a volunteer in transporting adoptable dogs between rescues. I look forward to meeting your pets and providing them with loving care, exercise, & companionship. My full time job as a nurse is on night shift and my schedule varies, so check my calendar! My availability is mostly during the day. I am happy to provide care for your pet to comply with your requests and their preferences. If they’re energetic and like to be active with fast paced walks, great! If they’d rather a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood and check out the smells, that’s fine with me! They like to play fetch in the backyard or just relax with snuggles on the couch? I’ve got it.
About: I am a Mechanical Engineering student with an Art minor, but my true passion has always been animals. I believe pets deserve the same love, respect, and care as people, and I take that responsibility seriously. I currently care for five of my own pets, including three dogs of different sizes, a cat, and two guinea pigs. I’ve also owned cats in the past, so I have long-term, hands-on experience with both cats and dogs across different life stages and personalities. I have frequently been responsible for their full care independently, including feeding, walking, enrichment, and monitoring health and behavior. One of my dogs has severe anxiety and a pollen allergy, which has given me experience caring for animals with special needs, including close attention to symptoms, environmental triggers, and comfort management. I’m confident in recognizing signs of illness or distress and knowing when to seek veterinary attention. I also gained hands-on experience assisting with my mother’s dog walking business, TheDogWalkerMichele, where I helped care for both dogs and cats. In addition, I have accompanied my girlfriend on multiple pet sitting and dog walking jobs, assisting with feeding, walking, playtime, and general care for dogs, cats, and kittens. I’m especially experienced with anxious or shy animals and have a calm, patient approach that helps pets build trust and feel safe. I’m also confident in basic behavior management and ensuring pets stay both safe and well-behaved during care. As an engineering student, I bring a detail-oriented and responsible mindset to pet care, making sure each animal is cared for thoughtfully, efficiently, and lovingly. During the summer, I work part-time at Rowan University’s Admissions Office for approximately 20-25 hours per week. My shifts are flexible and scheduled between 8 AM and 4 PM, which allows me to plan my pet care availability around my work schedule. I am generally available early mornings, late afternoons, evenings, and overnight stays. I am also open to house sitting during the week, as long as I am able to step out for my scheduled work shifts during the day. I will always communicate my schedule clearly in advance to ensure pets are properly cared for and never left without attention during appropriate times. Outside of my work hours, I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time to walking, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and respectful environment for every pet in my care. In a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect I would my own: following all instructions closely, keeping things clean and organized, and ensuring pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment. My focus is always on the pet’s well-being and routine. I make sure they are fed on schedule, given fresh water, exercised appropriately, and provided with plenty of attention, comfort, and supervision. I am attentive to behavior changes and always prioritize safety, especially for anxious pets or those with special needs. I also understand how important trust is when caring for someone’s pet and home, so I communicate clearly, follow directions carefully, and make sure everything is handled responsibly and consistently.
“Kim has taken such excellent care of our wild maniac of a puppy! She makes sure he gets tons of love and snuggles whether we are away for the day at work or for a few days on a trip. She has also taken great care of our two cats and our house while we were away. Kim goes out of her way to do the little things like bringing in the mail daily. She is wonderful!”
“David did a phenomenal job in taking great care of our cats while we our away. He ensured that he got all the details needed to take care of our cats and provided us with all the latest photos and updates. This gave us so much peace of mind. Our cats felt so happy and comfortable with him.”
“This is the second time I’ve had the pleasure of working with Natalie and I didn’t think it was possible for things to get any better, but she is absolutely amazing! Excellent communication! She takes care of my fur babies as though they were her own. Would highly recommend her!”
“We are so thankful for the all care and time Meghan spent watching over our 3 dogs! As first time Rover users we had no idea what to expect and it was also the first time leaving our puppy for an extended period of time! We loved all the detailed notes we received and Meghan really went above and beyond, as she noticed our puppy was getting a little stir crazy and took her on a walk during one of the drop ins. We felt like we could trust Meghan’s judgement in caring for our pups, thank you SO much!!!”
About: 8+ years of in-home pet care in South Jersey, plus veterinary assistant experience in clinic. I have worked with dogs, cats, chickens, goats, aquatic pets (turtles, frogs, fish), and reptiles. Clinic work is why medically complex and senior pets are a fit, not a stretch: oral meds, insulin and other injections, watching appetite / mobility / bathroom changes, and knowing when to text you versus when to call the vet. I am especially strong with: • Diabetic dogs, including twice-daily insulin • Anxious or slow-to-warm dogs — space first, trust second • Senior dogs and special-needs dogs • Multi-dog and dog + cat households • Reptiles and other “please don’t forget the heat lamp” pets I take a limited number of clients so I can actually keep your pet’s routine — same walk times, same feeding windows, same bedtime rituals. I’m studying occupational therapy. Class and clinic are on my calendar in advance, so when I accept a sit I am actually in your home or at your door, not squeezing you between a full boarder’s list. House sits: I stay overnight in your home. Drop-ins and walks: I book around real med and meal times, not whenever it’s convenient for me. Weekends and holiday windows are when I’m most open. I’m based in Medford. Walks and drop-ins stay inside about 15 miles so I can be on time. If you’re not sure I cover you, send the request anyway — I’ll be honest about drive time. I sit in your home. I do not board other animals at mine. I have two senior dogs and two reptiles, and your pets stay in their own territory — that’s safer for my seniors and calmer for yours. Clinic work is why medically complex pets are a fit, not a stretch: oral meds, insulin and other injections, First Aid/CPR. Pills, post-op care, and “is this an emergency or a weird quirk” are normal for me. If your dog needs two shots a day, I set alarms. If something looks off, you hear from me immediately. I follow your rules in your house — crate, gates, furniture, thermostat, alarm, trash, mail. I don’t treat your home like a hotel and your pet like a side task. Meet & greets are required for first-time overnights so your pet can interview me before you leave.
About: Georgia and I have been taking care of pets since we were young children. We have both dogs and cats. Our experience ranges from puppies, senior dogs, kittens, and older cats. We have open availability and are willing to be flexible. Whether your pet is extremely friendly, or more skittish, we are excited to meet them! We are both currently part time in school, with very flexible schedules. I am in school Monday and Wednesday, while Georgia is in school on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. This makes us available 7 days a week! We are willing to follow any schedule your furry friend needs! Whether it’s daily walks, cuddles, or crate training, we got it. We monitor pets with care and are very open with constant communication and daily photos of your pets .
About: Your pets aren't "just pets" — they're family. And as someone who has shared my life with dogs for many years, I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with their care. I began my animal-care journey studying Animal Sciences at Rutgers University's Cook College. Although my career eventually took me in a different direction, animals remained a constant part of my life. I've been pet sitting for friends and family for 27 years, and I also worked as a veterinary technician for 6 years. My veterinary experience gave me hands-on experience caring for dogs with a variety of needs, including senior and medically fragile pets. I'm comfortable administering: Oral medications Eye drops Subcutaneous fluids Senior-pet care and monitoring Feeding and medication routines Providing extra patience and attention to older or anxious dogs My beloved 15-year-old Shih Tzu recently passed away, and while losing him has been incredibly difficult, it has also reminded me how much I love caring for animals. I'm ready to open my heart — and my schedule — to caring for other people's beloved pets. Today, I'm a wife and mother who works from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide dependable pet care while being available when your pets need me. Whether your dog needs a midday visit, companionship while you're away, medication administration, or simply someone who will treat them like family, I bring years of experience, patience, compassion, and genuine love for animals to every visit. Your pet's comfort and well-being are my priority. I work remotely from home and have had a flexible work-from-home schedule for the past seven years, which allows me to be very accommodating with pet-care needs. I'm available for morning visits after 8:30 AM, once I get my daughter on the school bus, as well as midday walks and visits while you're at work. Because I work remotely, I'm also happy to spend the day at your home with your pets when needed, as long as I have access to Wi-Fi so I can work while keeping your pets company. My only regular scheduling limitation is 3:00–5:00 PM on weekdays, when I'm busy with school pickup and getting my children to their afternoon activities. Weekends are generally open and flexible, and I'm happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet's routine and your travel plans. My flexible schedule allows me to provide more than just a quick check-in—I can give your pets plenty of companionship, attention, and care throughout the day. I believe the best pet care starts with making your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m playful and attentive, but I’m also responsible and observant—I pay attention to your pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs. I’m happy to care for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, including larger dogs up to 100 pounds. I also welcome cats! Whether your pet is energetic and ready to play or prefers a quiet afternoon curled up beside me, I’m happy to meet them where they are. Your home is your pet’s safe place, and I treat it with the same respect I would want for my own home. I follow your instructions carefully, maintain your pet’s normal routine as much as possible, and make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other safety measures are secure. Most importantly, I want your pets to look forward to seeing me! I’ll give them plenty of attention, playtime, affection, walks, and companionship, while respecting their boundaries and individual personalities.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Medford Lakes
Always on time and consistently spent the full planned time with our three kitties, making sure they were cared for and given some quality attention. She also provided photo updates at each visit and was very communicative. Will definitely book with Sophia again!
Heather was excellent. She was kind, professional, and clearly very responsible. She followed all instructions carefully and kept me updated with pictures, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. It’s obvious she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. My cat looked happy and healthy when we came back! I would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 .
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 cat, 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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
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.
