About: I’ve always been very good with taking care of animals. I’ve house sat and taken in pets of family members for a couple of years now and understand the responsibility of taking care of another member of the family. I work weekdays from 11:30-5 therefore I’m available in the mornings and the evenings. I try to have a healthy balance of social life and work and try to space out my time as much as possible. I have a German Shepard/pit bull mix at home which requires hands on activity, play, and feeding. It’s important that animals not only get the proper to make sure they are living comfortably but also the most amount of love and attention for their own benefit
About: I have had dogs and cats and various other small pets since I was 7. I know how to handle dogs of all sizes and how to care for other animals such as cats, fish, rodents… I am very patient and willing to do all the little things your pets need, no instructions is too much if it means giving your pets the care they deserve! I am currently a graduate student getting my doctorate. So I will be able to sit and play with your dogs and study while they have nap time or chill time. I would love to give your animals the care they deserve while also giving myself a little mental break with all your cute pets! If you have a a fenced in yard I will gladly go out and play with the animals or sit with them. I will gladly crate your dogs if you need and ensure everything is locked up and safe for them. I will clean up their potty breaks if you ask me to and will gladly feed and clean up any messes.

I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable home with a fenced backyard for dogs to play.

I always make time for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention they deserve. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel at home.

“Selena is an exceptional and trustworthy person. We entrusted her with the responsibility of caring for our seven-year-old Saint Bernard, Loretta, for nearly two weeks. She visited our home twice daily to walk Loretta, provide her with food and water, and ensure she had bathroom breaks. Selena’s care was impeccable, and we are incredibly grateful for her services. We highly recommend her and will definitely contact her again in the future.”

About: I’ve been around and taken care of animals my whole life - I currently have five of my own pets (FOUR guinea pigs and one horse) - I grew up with dogs and have handled every shape, size, and age imaginable - whatever your pet needs, I got it! Tuesday-Friday are very flexible for me and I will always try to make things work out! While I have my own personal routines there is more than enough time to walk some pups! I am always respectful of the spaces people keep and whoever uses those spaces - my number one priority is for the animal and their family to be comfortable
About: Hi I’m Angelica, i’ve owned so many dogs throughout my life from tiny dogs to big dogs, I currently have two of my own dogs and walk them every day as is, I would love to go on walks with other dogs as well and get some exorcise in with your dogs as well! I adore all sorts of animals! I’m a high school senior, so I get out of school anywhere from 12-1 which is early, so anytime after that I can come walk dogs or take care of cats or whatever is needed of me to do. I do not allow animals in my house but I can come to your house and walk your dog or check on the cat whenever is needed.

“Emily did an excellent job updating me on my cats while I was away. Followed instructions and was very communicative during the time I was away. Would recommend highly to anyone looking for a great pet sitter.”
About: When your fur baby is with me, they are treated exactly like family. I strictly follow any instructions you leave behind and will provide regular photo updates for your peace of mind with whichever service you decide to book. Going away on Vacation? I am located only 5 minutes away from EWR Newark Airport for close drop off & pick up. I do have one older pet in my home that does not interact with any pets that come for boarding or day care. 🏡 For Boarding (Small Dogs up to 40 lbs): Because I work from home at the moment full-time, your pup will never be lonely! We will have days packed with fun, including plenty of playtime in my fully fenced backyard, exciting car rides to a beautiful local park, and cozy movie-night cuddles. I specialize in smaller pets to ensure they get the dedicated space and attention they deserve. I currently have open availability! 🥰 Because I am fully dedicated to helping others care for their dogs, pet care is my daily routine! My day is entirely structured around the needs of the pups in my care. Mornings start early with fresh water, breakfast, and a neighborhood walk to stretch our legs. Throughout the day, I maintain a consistent schedule of potty breaks, lots of play time, and plenty of love. Whether you are at work or on vacation, your pup is my top priority from sunrise to bedtime. I love letting your fur babies outside to burn off their energy, and when it's time to wind down, I'm always ready for lots of playtime and cuddles. In my home, I have a fenced yard in my apartment for pets who will stay the day with me.
About: Experience helping raise puppy/younger dogs and training, also have experience with adult/senior foster dogs. Includes walking, bathing, trips to the dog park, feeding, training, treat/crate training I also looooove brushing dogs, the fluffier the better! I like to stay home on weekends with my senior dog Sapphire. Shes a rescue and very calm (she doesn’t bark) and absolutely loves other dogs! We love to take walks and play on the patio outside. I am pretty much free from Wednesday evenings-Saturday nights! Although I live in an apartment, I keep my living room and general space wide and accessible which is easier and less stressful for the dogs. I have a back patio we can play on (not black so the heat won’t hurt their paws), and have a park and yard across the street! I will give your pup lots of love and cuddles and they will definitely be a little spoiled! I also will feed them in a separate area from my dog but bring them back together to play :)
About: Growing up, my family and I lived on a small farm with tons of animals, including horses, cows, chickens, cats, and of course, little dogs. I was taught from a very young age that any living thing should be respected and treated properly. Puppies and kittens have been in my life for as long as I can remember, and my love for them has only grown over the years. Pet care is part of our everyday routine. I’m a stay at home mom, so I’m home most of the day. We have a fully fenced yard that’s just under half an acre, and my kids and I spend a lot of time outside playing with our pets. They get plenty of exercise, attention, and love every day. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and lots of attention. I also keep their space clean and always make their safety and comfort a priority.

Selena is a very responsive, responsible, and respectful sitter. She is always so quick to respond and really Listens to what I need for my pets. I was gone for a couple days and when I came back home, I can tell the dogs were very calm, they felt safe with her, and my house was clean —- just the way I left it. She is trustworthy and I recommend her services!
Absolutely wonderful! She was so responsive, the notes every visit were very informative and super helpful, and her personality, actions, and kindness were above and beyond. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of our fur babies while we were out of town!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Middlesex stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Middlesex choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Middlesex with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
