About: Hello!! I started Rover during breast cancer treatment and it remains one of the best decisions I ever made. Being around animals keeps me grounded, gives me purpose, and reminds me every day why I love this work. As a lifelong pet owner, I genuinely understand the trust it takes to hand over the care of an animal you love so that’s not something I take lightly. I’m fully insured and take this seriously — this is my business, not a side gig. — My Background with Animals I’ve been caring for pets since my teens, fostering, volunteering at shelters, and helping with daily animal care on a TV show filmed at a sanctuary with nearly a hundred animals. I have experience with seniors, shy pets, special needs animals, and anxious dogs who need a calm and patient presence. I am currently pursuing my CPR certification. — Availability and Location I’m based on the Jersey Shore year round, so I’m fully available whether you need care in the height of summer or the quiet of the off season. — Staying In Touch Keeping you connected while you are away is something I take seriously. I follow routines closely, respond within minutes and am happy to work around your preferences, whether that means quick photo updates throughout the day, videos, a daily wrap up or all of the above. Just let me know what works best for you. As a freelance TV and film producer I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my day. I am available weekdays, weekends and holidays and can easily work around your schedule. Your pets receive real attention and time rather than a rushed visit squeezed between commitments. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow instructions carefully, keep things tidy and make sure doors, gates and everything in the home is secure when I come and go. I stay attentive to pets and notice changes in behavior, energy or appetite and will flag anything that seems unusual. I am comfortable with medications, special feeding schedules and pets that need extra patience or a slower pace. My energy tends to be calm and consistent and animals seem to respond well to that. Most importantly, I ask questions.
“Alexis is a wonderful dog sitter! She was super communacative and reliable in her check-ins which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. It’s obvious she’s a true animal lover and was very sweet with my dog, she did an excellent job- I’d definitely book with her again and highly recommend!”
“First time meeting Petey. She is great! He was a little reluctant to walk, he barked at first. Food motivated so a little treat at introduction and now he knows who she is, and it was a really good first time walk. 👍🏼😊”
About: A life-long dog owner, I’ve been taking care of dogs all sizes and ages since I was 13 years old. I pride myself in being reliable and extremely engaging with animals. I communicate with each client to determine their pet care needs and strive to create a stress-free experience for everyone! I currently work full-time from 8:30 am - 5 pm in Asbury Park. I am available before work from 6 am to 8 am, or anytime after work. I am also available on weekends! I live in a small apartment three blocks from the beach with my French Bulldog, Bean! My street is very safe and offers a great ambiance for walks. I’m happy to offer my cozy space for daycare or sleepovers, but I can only accommodate one other medium/large dog or two small dogs. If your dog is crate-trained, please plan on bringing it!
“Joe is an absolutely amazing caregiver for my pet. Oliver loves interacting with Joe, and has quickly built a trusting bond with him. Joe is thorough, experienced, caring, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure the your satisfaction and happiness of your fur baby. I cannot say enough about how lucky we were to have found him on Rover. Thank you Joe!”
“Regina took amazing care of Bettis this past week. She was incredibly attentive, reliable and sweet with the pup. Her notes were informative and thorough regarding every visit. The photos and updates were greatly appreciated. I cannot recommend Regina enough.”
“Jessica was outstanding! She was available on NYE when I needed last minute help. She even came to the house during the day and met with me and Bowie for a meet and greet before she came back that evening on her own. She went above and beyond with sending me updates as well as photos and videos, and even did other things like refill his food and water and remove his collar once he was in for the night (as I requested). My dog instantly was comfortable around her and you can see that she is very professional and passionate about her job. 10/10 recommend, she was so kind and a true life saver!”
“I left on vacation for a week and April took amazing care of my dog, Rocky. She was reliable, attentive, and kept me updated the whole time. I came home to a Rocky happy and well fed. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend her for anyone needing a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!”
“Giorgio is absolutely delighted to have found Michael as a new friend! He has always needed someone who is gentle yet firm and I couldn't ask for anyone more suitable, competent and personable than Michael. I am incredibly happy ( and relieved!) to know my boy is in safe hands.”
About: I have been a lifelong cat owner, throughout childhood and into my adulthood until present day. I have experience volunteering in cat socialization in animal shelters, domestically and internationally. I am only doing seasonal work at the moment so I will have plenty of free time to spend with your fur family during the winter months! All plastic debris picked up off the floor and into the trash at all times. Doors to potentially hazardous areas closed at all times. Bowl always full of yummies. Lots of playtime with toys.
About: When I was younger It was my responsibility to take care of my baby pitbull I plan to continue loving animals it's my passion, animals makes me happy. I work part time for Wawa I plan to pursue Rover as soon as possible the more positive feedback I get can help me grow as a dependable pet sitter. I plan to give my clients the best animal services. I take the dogs side out frequently and play fetch there a local park the dogs enjoy. Always free to stay home for your pets. I enjoy play time and taking pictures while playing. I also enjoy making sure the pet owner is pleased with my service. To make the pets feel safe, I will let them roam and get a feel for their new environment when they arrive. My doors are always secure to prevent pets from free roaming outside when it's not time to. I am currently at home full time so I always have free time for any pet family that desides to choose me and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have a fenced in yard and can accommodate any and all types of pets i have own house which give the pet buddies plenty of space to run around play and excersise lol
“Darlene is amazing with my dog and he LOVES her!! She always provides the full 30 minute walk which I truly appreciate. She also makes sure he eats before she leaves, and she is always in great contact with me. I truly always look for Darlene's availability when looking to book my dog for a walk. I would definitely say she is the best I have used on here and I will recommend her again and again!”

Keith is extremely knowledgeable about dogs and dog behavior. He’s kind, patient, confident and calm. I have two young dogs and they both instantly loved him. I felt extremely comfortable leaving my young puppy with him for a walk. I knew she would not only be safe, but have a fun and enriching experience. Highly recommend!
I can’t recommend Anahi enough! She went above and beyond to care for my baby boy. From regular updates with photos to thoughtful check-ins, I always felt at ease knowing he was in such capable and loving hands. Bailey was happy, well-fed, and clearly adored. It’s rare to find someone this reliable, attentive, and genuinely kind. I’ll definitely be booking with Anahi again—thank you for everything!
We couldn’t be happier with Katie! She’s been absolutely wonderful with our large (and sometimes stubborn) golden retriever. Not only does she take him on walks, but she also stays to play with him afterward, which he loves. Katie is reliable, kind, and great with big dogs. Highly recommend!!!
Kathy and John are amazing. I was afraid to leave my dog. It was the first time I was using the service. They did an incredible job. They are caring and loving. They sent me pictures and told me exactly how he was doing throughout the walk. I highly recommend them.
