About: I am a local college student available to care for your furry “baby”; providing love and care as you would while away. I have experience caring for range of pet ages understanding the needs of younger pets (exercise, stimulation) as well as older pets (mobility, meds, etc.). Either way I take my time and exercise patience in getting your dog comfortable and happy with me caring for them. My goal is to be their “stand in pet parent” and care and love for them as they way you do. I believe to do that it is important to gain trust and confidence with meeting beforehand if that works for you. I hope to make your pet feel comfortable so that their stay or care with me will be an enjoyable one for them, and a reassuring one for you. I am a college student - where I work my schedule to be available for your pet’s needs. I have taken care of my dog of 15 years and understand being available with the different needs of a young puppy to a more older dog. I will provide attentive, loving care by following their routine, giving plenty of affection, exercise, and patience, while creating a calm, safe, and loving environment.
About: I make an effort to be calm when I am with and around animals in order for them to know they are safe when they’re with me. I am home from college for the summer! I have a lot of free time. Mornings, afternoons, and nights I have available and every day of the week. I’d love to walk your pet around your neighborhood. Cleanliness and organization are important to me, so I would make sure to maintain those areas of your space for your pet!
About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages through my volunteer work at HFGDR. I truly enjoy tailoring my care to each dog's specific needs, whether that means high-energy playtime or providing gentle, patient companionship for senior dogs. I am fully available all summer long to provide dedicated care for your pets! With my wide-open summer schedule, I have plenty of time to offer consistent attention, extra playtime, and personalized care. Whether your pet needs long walks, drop-in visits, or boarding, I am ready to accommodate your needs throughout the entire season. I provide a safe, loving environment for all pets. I am also happy to provide drop-in care at your home, ensuring your pets feel secure and maintain their normal routine while you are away.
“Kimberly has been extremely reliable and took great care of Penny, Kimberly also made multiple visits at home to ensure my cat was doing okay! Thankyou so much and also thanks a lot for accepting last minute request it was really helpful and lot of relief.”
“Jordyn did a great job today with Dash. She was on time and immediately started playing with our puppy. Dash really took to her which put us at ease. We felt he was in good hands. Great job!”
About: I have had dogs in my house for as long as I can remember (since I was four, to be exact) - I know how to deal with the barking, gently wrestle a leash onto the wriggliest of pups, feed them on schedule even when they beg for early dinner, and give them all the love they could possibly need. I have walked, fed, and cleaned up after my dogs for years, and I am so excited to get to do that for other pups too! I am a college student home from school and have extreme flexibility with my schedule. I have a car, so I can drive to your house to take care of your pooch as needed at almost any time between 8 am and 6 pm. The most important thing for me when taking care of pets is their comfort. As much as I love to cuddle our fur babies, if they don’t like physical touch I will give them their space. I am happy to play tug of war, fetch, and even let them chase me around outside (I understand needs change depending on the breed). I feed them as instructed and on schedule (having trained myself to resist even the cutest of puppy eyes begging for extra treats) and make sure they only get what their owners have left for them to have. I also love taking dogs on walks for exercise, both for their sake and my own!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old. I love all animals and enjoy spending time with my furry friends. My mom likes to say I’m somewhat of a dog whisperer😂 I am home for the summer and available everyday. I work at the Florham Park Day-camp throughout the week. Hours are: 8:00 am - 3:00 pm I love to go on long walks with my own dog Ollie. Along with keeping well fed and happy. Im sure he would enjoy some company on his walks! Im prepared to care for any of your pet’s needs.
“Samantha was great and provided all support needed for our cats even during one of the worst storms in our town. She dilligently took care of them through the power outage going beyond and above. Highly recommend her services!!!!!”
About: I’ve been taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I always had love for dogs in all sizes and their different personalities. Since having a dog on my own last year I’ve learned to practice training and grooming all by myself. I love to spend lots of time to make sure our furry friends stays healthy and happy with full attention and care. I am currently full time at home which I spend most the time with my dog. I take walks daily morning and night. Feel free to ask for availability. I live in a condo. My dog Bagel is a friendly 4 year old girl that likes to play with others and full of energy. Treats, toys, extra leash, water bowl could be provided. (If needed)
“Christine is amazing! She made sure our anxious kitties were well taken care of and loved while we were away. Will absolutely book with her again for our next trips and recommend her to friends and family! Thank you Christine!!”
About: Hi! I’m an animal lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. While I’m newer to professional dog walking and pet sitting, I’ve spent time helping walk friends’ dogs, playing with them, and assisting with their care when needed. Those experiences have shown me how rewarding it is to make sure dogs get the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to detail. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I’m committed to following your instructions carefully so your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing fetch, exploring the neighborhood, or simply getting extra attention and affection, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of care and engagement. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while your pet is with me. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, and I would love the opportunity to earn that trust. I look forward to meeting you and your furry best friend! Dog walking fits easily into my weekly routine. I have flexible availability during the early mornings, evenings, and some mid-day hours depending on the day, which allows me to consistently take on walks. I’ve helped walk dogs for friends and enjoy being active, so I’m comfortable building this into my schedule regularly. I make sure to plan ahead and keep commitments organized so each dog gets reliable, attentive care and a consistent walking routine. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. My goal is to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed while you’re away. For dog walking, I focus on giving each dog a safe and enjoyable walk based on their energy level and personality—whether that’s a relaxed stroll or a more active walk with plenty of time to sniff and explore. When I’m in a client’s home, I’m respectful of the space, keep things clean, and make sure pets are safe and happy at all times. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel at ease knowing their pet is well cared for.
“Avery took wonderful care of our two super-senior cats. The peace of mind knowing we didn't have to worry was wonderful. Avery also took photos each day and kept in touch through the app. I do highly recommend Avery to take good care of your pets! Thank you 😁”
About: Since high school, I’ve always had pets around me. When I was full-time Army stationed in Alaska, my leadership asked me to dog sit their pets and ever since then I was the go to dog sitter for our Company. I sometimes spent weeks juggling getting to work in the early mornings and getting home in time to take care of their pets and their homes. I enjoyed taking care of their dogs on the day to day! Im renovating my family’s new house and working in the New Jersey Army National Guard so I appreciate getting some steps in and spending time with pets. I like spending time with pets because they live in the moment. I talk and run with them sometimes when on walks to make them feel comfortable with me.
“Homero and Sasha were in great hands and im thankful to have found you to look after them while I was away! Thank you so much for the daily updates and pictures that made my day !😊”
About: I’ve spent the last 6 years caring for dogs and cats for families in my neighborhood, including puppies, high‑energy dogs, and seniors who need a gentler pace. I regularly do dog walking, drop‑in visits, and house sitting, and I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding, medications, walks, and playtime. I treat every animal like my own, send lots of photo updates, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed while their people are away. I’m a college student, so my availability is best during school breaks and holidays. When I’m home in New Jersey, I’m generally free on both weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to work around your travel plans. I keep my calendar up to date and respond quickly so we can find times that fit your schedule. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to the routines you already have in place—feeding schedule, walk times, and house rules. I always double‑check doors, gates, and leashes, and I watch for any changes in behavior or appetite that might signal a problem. I’m respectful of your home, keep things tidy, and send clear updates and photos so you always know how your pets are doing.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs. Both were quite big and energetic. Even though I was young I would help feed, walk, and bathe the dogs. I have now gotten into taking care of cats as well. When family is out of town, I am who they call to help take care of their pets because of my reliability. I am in education so I am trustworthy enough to care of kids as well! I am currently working part time over the summer. I tutor Wednesdays and have availability most other days. I don’t have any strict schedule for the rest of the week and am very flexible. I can’t have pets at my personal home. But I will make sure your furry pets are going out as often as they need for necessity and fun!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - New Providence
Sheila was a life saver for me when I needed to find someone to check on my dogs during the day while at the office. Keanu and Wiley don’t like just anyone but they liked her immediately. Sheila was shrewd enough to ask me if she had to worry about either of the dogs escaping when she comes in, and she was right to ask because my girl Wiley will sometimes be in the mood for a freedom run achieved by escaping between someone’s legs if they hangout with the door open too long! Very professional, great to work with

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 New Providence 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 New Providence 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.

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.
