“Donna was very reliable, caring, communicative and responsible. She is great with animals, even my shy cat warmed up to her very quickly first at our meet and greet and then during my time away. Highly recommend her services, will book her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs, cats, and neighbors dogs for the entirety of my life. I love animals and have been around them constantly! I’m currently working full time. Weekends work best or later in weekdays. Weekends are completely available and weekdays would need to be scheduled past 5. I’m very comfortable and familiar with dog care and all different types of pets. I’m able to accommodate to any different type of setting and any type of dog
“Gabe did an excellent job caring for our two cats while we were away! One of them requires insulin injections and has a few quirks, and Gabe handled everything with confidence and care. He clearly paid attention during the meet and greet and followed instructions closely. Communication was great, and we felt totally at ease knowing they were in good hands. We’d happily book with Gabe again!”
“My dogs are having a great time getting to know Jennie. She sends me videos of the dogs wagging their tails and playing. She also keeps me updated on how the visits are going and sends a bunch of photos which is great! Jennie is very communicative and responsive. She has attended to all of my requests and followed any instructions I have provided. Jennie has been a pleasure to interact with and I’m glad my dogs have responded so well to her care. I highly recommend Jennie!”
“Arely gave Kimmy , my fur baby, lots of attention, and was on time, and followed my directions, that I left. She took the time for a meet and greet also before I took vacation. She sent lots of pictures and updates. I would highly recommend Arely to watch your fur babies. She is very responsible.”
About: Hello! I have a lifelong passion for caring for animals. From a young age, I've been surrounded by pet bunnies, cats, dogs and lizards. I would like to keep taking care of your furry family members and, my number 1 priority is to make sure they're happy, healthy, and loved. It's not just me though, my boyfriend, Gill A. also joins me on these sits, so your furry friend gets double the love! As dedicated pet caregivers, we understand certain pets unique needs and preferences. Whether providing nourishing meals, engaging in interactive play sessions, or offering gentle companionship and cuddles! If your pet happens to be a lizard, maybe no cuddling, but we will make sure they are well fed and happy! In addition to essential care tasks, we both offer various fun activities, specifically to cats and dogs so that they are entertained and mentally stimulated. This may include interactive toy play, puzzle feeders, and laser point games. For dogs, this would include playing some tug of war, fetch, or frisbee! Every pet deserves the best care possible, and we are here to provide just that. If you need caring and responsible sitters who will treat your furry friend like family, please don't hesitate to reach out. We would be honored to care for your beloved furry family member! Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, as I am a full-time student with flexibility in the afternoons, starting from 3 PM. This allows me to dedicate focused time and attention to pets, ensuring they receive the care, exercise, and companionship they deserve For in-home pet care, we prioritize creating a safe, comfortable environment for pets. This includes regular feeding, providing fresh water, administering medications if needed, and ensuring plenty of playtime and affection. Additionally, we maintain cleanliness by cleaning litter boxes, disposing of waste, and keeping living areas tidy. We also offer personalized attention and follow the owner's specific care instructions to ensure their pet's well-being and happiness.
About: Attentive, loving, and cuddly—with just the right amount of structure. I follow care routines closely and use positive, effective methods like clicker training for happy, well-behaved pets I am a college student so I currently have open availability for your pet care needs and assistance Day time or night time ! !

“My dog Onyx looked forward to his walks and play time with Giselle. She arrived timely and followed instructions well. She came to my home twice a day for two days straight and she was great. She really came through in a pinch! Will use her services again without a doubt!”
About: I have worked as a veterinary nurse (ER, and general practice) for over 5 years taking care of all types of animals. I have been pet sitting privately for years, and take great pride in providing pets with a calm loving approach to make sure they are as happy as possible. Having my background in Vet-med I can confidently give owners peace of mind that their pets will always be safe, and have knowledge about senior care, anxiety, and other special health conditions. My schedule at the animal hospital I work for is very flexible, so I can be available when needed for the most part. Weekdays, nights and weekends are available depending on whatever owners need. I have extensive knowledge about animal safety, health, and enrichment. As well as understanding of different breeds/ages requirements. If your pet needs to be medicated daily, if they need extensive activity, or if you need someone to continue training while you’re away that is not a problem at all. For drop in visits I typically spend about an hour (depending on whatever you want) with the animals to make sure they are comfortable and happy when I leave. For walks it is dependent on breed/size/age, for example border collies need more exercise than bulldogs and seniors’ joints may not work as well as they used to. I can also provide mental stimulation for your pets via puzzles/games/light training. For in home pet sitting, I ask for an extensive run down or list of their typical daily routine to make sure their life is as close to normal as possible, which helps ease any anxiety they might have not having their owners home. I require “meet and greets” for all new pets/clients before I agree to walk/pet sitting, trust is extremely important to me and I want to make sure my clients always have peace of mind. I am also always reachable via phone/text, and love sending owners updates with cute photos/videos.
“Joclyn was great with Buster and communicated with us really well to understand his "quirks". We came home to a happy dog (and cats and fish!)!! We would definitely recommend Joclyn to anyone and would have her back anytime we need someone to help us out with Buster!”
About: I absolutely love caring for dogs, and I’ve been a Rover sitter for over a year now. I have a Rottweiler and a Pomeranian who are the best of friends, and we enjoy our twice-daily walks together. I’ve grown up with Rottweilers, so I know exactly how to handle big & small dogs —especially when they’re feeling anxious or need some extra TLC. I work from home 3-4 times a week and always available on weekends, so I’m always around to keep your pet company and give them the attention they deserve. Whether it’s a long walk, some playtime, or just a cozy cuddle, I’m here to make sure your dog feels loved and cared for, just like my own. I work from home 3-4 days a week, so I’m always available to give your pet the attention they need. My own dogs get two daily walks, and I make time for play and snuggles in between. Whether it’s a walk or some quality time, I’m here to ensure your pet feels loved and cared for all day. I make sure your pet feels right at home, whether they’re here with me or in your home. My place is pet-friendly, with plenty of space for play and relaxation. I keep a close eye on them, ensuring they’re safe and comfortable. At your home, I stick to your pet’s routine and follow any special instructions to keep them feeling secure and loved.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats through personal and family experience, providing daily feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mount Arlington
It was a pleasure to have Rachel watch our dog over Christmas vacation. She gave our pup lots of snuggles and love, and even though we had a snowstorm while we were away she was still willing to come. (We were able to get a neighbor which was wonderful, so hopefully she got to stay home and snuggle up!) We will definitely be using her again!

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.

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.

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.
