“Jessica was very courteous, timely, and just a beautiful person over all. My dog is a very good judge of character and he took to Jessica right away. So apparently she’s something very special.”
About: I have had a love for dogs all my life. Last couple of years I have worked with dog rescues as a foster, that is how I found my dog. While working with the organization I took some classes with a dog training. I work from home but I do have to make trips outside of the house 2-6 hours. I can normally plan my trips outside of the home. I have fenced in yard and crate for dogs that are custom to using one. I have 1 dog, foster gone wrong. I only have 1 dog so I can foster when needed.
“Had a wonderful experience with Sophia! She graciously accepted to check in on our 3 cats on short notice and did so great! She was reliable, followed our instructions and gave us peace of mind while away from our babies. Would definitely book again in the future.”
“My boy was so shy and nervous with a stranger entering our home without us , but Alexis made sure he felt as comfortable as possible! I appreciated her patience with him and would definitely book again 🫶🏻😊”
“Alicia did a great job checking on my 2 kitties while away on vacation. She came to meet with us beforehand for a meet and greet to ensure she knew exactly how to care for the fur babies. Would recommend to anyone! 💯”
About: I have 3 dogs and one cat of my own! I’ve had two of the dogs since they were puppies, and my cat since he was a kitten. I’ve also pet sit for my neighbors many times! My three dogs are all chihuahuas, but i’ve had experience with bigger dogs too. I am currently working part time, but I’m planning on going full time with pet sitting! Once summer is over I will be going to school but early in the morning, from around 8 to 12. So I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets ! I will not bring your pets to my own home, because my dogs are not very friendly to other pets. I will be able to go to your home and take care of your pet(s) there!
“Hannah is doing an outstanding job taking care of Stanley for me while im away.. She is very responsible, she gives prompt updates and gives my boy lots of loving when she's there! I highly recommended Hannah and will continue to use her.”
“Hannah goes above and beyond to make sure our pups are all taken care of. Absolutely love booking with her and always feel certain our pups are in the best hands. She is awesome. Love the report cards and attention to detail. Thank you Hannah!!!”
“Lauryn was absolutely amazing with our cats while we were on vacation! She followed every instruction perfectly, sent us regular photo updates, and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. The biggest surprise was that she even won over our super shy girl, who usually hides from everyone. Seeing her come out for Lauryn and enjoy the attention meant so much to us. It’s obvious Lauryn truly loves animals and treats them like they’re her own. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter, and we’ll definitely be using her every time we travel. Highly recommend!”
About: I have over 6 years of experience with professional in-home pet care, along with a lifetime of caring for my own dogs. I am also certified through the PPCA! I understand how important it is to give your pets the same love and attention I give my own! I truly enjoy spending time with pets, whether that’s playtime, walks, or just quiet companionship. My goal is to be a little part of your family and provide that peace of mind while you are away! Pet care is my full time job! My husband is home for my fur babies every night and morning if I need to be at overnights. And I make sure I have time to check in on my babies during the day if have a full day! When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and happy by following their normal routines as closely as possible. I provide plenty of attention through walks, playtime, and companionship, always practicing proper leash etiquette and respecting feeding or medication instructions. I create a calm, caring environment where pets feel secure, whether they’re playful, need a little extra patience, or are in delicate stages of life, so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are well cared for.
About: I have taken care of animals from a young age, we have always had family pets from dogs to cats, lizards, fish, rescues etc. and my grandparents had farm animals like horses pigs, chickens and goats that I was around from a young age also. I have always cared for our family pets as well as neighbors, friends, and family throughout the years. I typically house sit when watching the animals also and can take care of things like collecting mail and packages, etc. I currently work part time form home so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to care for animals. I also enjoy going outside so don't mind taking dogs on walks etc. I have a 1 acre fenced in backyard with lots of grass and trees for animals to play. I also have an outdoor enclosed fence about 8x10 that I can use to separate dogs if needed. And I have about a 5x8 fully enclosed outdoor catio as well. I have plenty of space inside the home to let animals rest as well as a garage if it is too hot during the day.
About: I’ve grown up and been around dogs and pets my entire life. I have also done a year of Veterinary Technician Assisting school and have clinic experience with all types of pets! I currently don’t have a job, but I will be looking for a part time job soon. So my schedule is very flexible at the moment. I am very attentive to dogs needs and fully understand their behaviors. I have a fully fenced in backyard that has plenty of place space.
“Excellent sitter! Came to see my boy and he immediately had good energy with her even without meeting him in the past. Always takes excellent care of him and makes sure he has time for his necessities! Will book more in the future!”
“Malexy did a fantastic job watching our two cats for a week! She was extremely responsive and prompt which really made us feel comfortable while out of town. She went above and beyond with her attention to detail and kept us well informed. We will definitely book again!”
About: Pet Care Experience I’ve always loved being around dogs and genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality, routine, and needs. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so my goal is to make the experience as comfortable and reassuring as possible for both you and your dog. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I focus on providing plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while keeping your pet’s normal schedule as consistent as possible. Your dog’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I’ll follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, and any other special care your pet needs. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is happy and well cared for. Whether your dog needs an active playmate, a relaxing place to stay, or simply some extra attention while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I work full time remote and have the flexibility during my day to make sure the dogs can run freely in the home, play, go outside and get the care they need with no worries! We have a fenced in back yard with a covered porch so the dogs can be free. We have lots of toys, treats, extra bowls and we always make sure the water bowls are filled! We care so deeply of our own dogs that we want others to make sure they are receiving that same care. We will always be responsive, send all the pictures, and give you any updates you need!

As an anxious dog mom, I’m always skeptical about leaving my dogs with anyone, but I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I felt completely comfortable and at ease knowing they were in good hands. The communication was great, my boys were well cared for. Highly recommend and will absolutely be booking again!
We cannot say enough good things about Lexi. From the start, she was communicative, reliable, and clearly cared about making sure Elu was comfortable and happy. It's obviousthat Lexi genuinely enjoys working with animals and treats them like her own. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Newark 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
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.
