Our experience with our dog sitter was outstanding. From the start, they were reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about our dog’s well-being. We felt completely comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands, which isn’t always easy to find. They provided updates, remained attentive to routines, and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. Most importantly, our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we returned. We wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely caring.

Christen was an amazing find on Rover! It’s not easy to leave your dog with a stranger, especially for an extended period, but she took incredible care of our dog as if he were her own. She provided daily updates and photos, which really eased our mind while we were away. When we unexpectedly ran into travel delays, she didn’t hesitate to help and kept our dog for an additional night. She’s one of the best sitters we’ve found, and we would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible and reliable pet sitter.

This was our first time using Rover and Christen. She was great with our dog who seemed to really like her. Christen was knowledgeable and easy going. We will definitely hire her again!

Christen was excellent with our dog! We were away for three days. She checked in with us regularly to let us know how he was doing and was great at communicating with us while we were away. Wonderful experience. We would happily use her again.

Christen has cared for our dog Harper for some time now as a walker. This time, she boarded Harper in her home for a week while we attended our daughter’s wedding. She sent updates and pictures, and we enjoyed ourselves knowing she was in good hands. The best evidence is that she was calm, happy and never missed a beat upon our return. 🐶

Safety, trust & environment

I can watch your pet in my home, or do drop-in visits at your home depending on preference. I live in a condo (no yard) across from a park.

A typical day

I can walk to downtown Red Bank from my house and visit Marine Park and Riverside Gardens Park, which would be a 2 or 3 mile walk depending on where the pup wants to go. I also like walking into Fair Haven to the nature area.

Any info that you think I would need to know, such as: are they reactive when they encounter another dog on a walk? / how far do they like to walk? / are they allowed to have certain treats or just the ones you provide?
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
