“Troy and Shalah were wonderful. We had a bit of a mix up with the booking and they were extremely flexible and took great care of my skittish and crazy dog. I would definitely use them again.”

About: I have cared for family and friends pets since I was 14 years old. Combined with my love for animals and attention to detail, my skill set has helped to create a special experience for each pets needs. From energetic dogs needing more patience and structure to senior pets who need a little more tend love and care! I am currently working full-time, 7am-2:30pm (M-F). However, on weekends and afternoons I am free to devote my time to caring for your pets. I don't work summers which allows me the flexibility to provide the best care needed to each of your fur pups. When caring for my own and other pets safety and trust is a top priority. Each pet is different however I still make it my business to make sure pets and parents of pets feel comfortable by catering to their specific needs in and out of my home. In my own home, I make sure the environment is free from anything that can be toxic to animals such as exposed wire, toxic plants, or foods. I maintain consistency with pet schedules to ensure each animal feels comfortable. I have a large backyard that is partially fenced in so pets can get regular exercise. I also have one mini poodle that goes by Karter, if it meets the pets needs Karter is great company to keep to promote interaction and stimulation throughout the day.
About: I’ve been taking care of family friend dogs in my hometown for about 5 years. My neighbors always relied on me to watch their dogs while they were gone for a weekend or for a week for vacation. I love playing with dogs and learning their little personalities. I currently own two cats and they are amazing and entertaining to say the least. I currently work during the day from 8am to 5pm out of the Ewing, NJ area so I am available evenings during the week and weekends. I will work on gaining the cat or dogs trust depending on how the pet feels. I’m really great with trying to talk to them and learning their behavior/personality.
“Jimi was a terrific house sitter for my two dogs when I had to go out of town for several days. He administered medication to my 1 dog day and night, fed them according their demanding food guidelines, took them on walks, played with them and sent lots of pictures and texts. I couldn't believe when I got home and my house was vacuumed and kitchen sparkling clean. I would definitely recommend him for your fur babies!!”


“Nicole was amazing! My dog has a very hard time with me leaving, and she was so thrilled to see Nicole and distracted playing with her that she hardly noticed me being gone. They did all of Darby’s favorite things, and I was always updated. I was able to enjoy my trip with having peace that my girl was taken good care of. Will definitely be booking again anytime I am away!”

“Joshua took a last minute booking and spent the day with Kenny. He was on time, kind and communicated well. Couldn’t have asked for better. We look forward to working with him again 🙂🐕🦺”

“I was so happy to leave my dog in Bill’s capable and caring hands. I got lots of updates throughout my trip and Bill was very attentive to the details and little quirks that my dog has. I look forward to having him back in the future!”

“Michael did such a fantastic job watching our dogs in our home. We loved getting regular updates, photos, and videos. He was very communicative and was also a great house guest and left the place neat and tidy. He helped with miscellaneous tasks as well (bringing in trash cans, collecting packages). Would definitely recommend him as a dog sitter!”

About: I am currently a German Shepherd mom, but I have experience owning and training dogs of all sizes! The most important thing I have learned in my experience with dogs is that they are all different regardless of breed. I cannot wait to build a bond with your furry friend and give them the care they deserve! Additionally, I have received professional training for use of an e-collar and prong collar, should your furry friend need to be walked with either of those. On the weekdays, I usually get home around 6:30, and I like to go for a leisurely walk as opposed to the gym, so it would be the perfect time to walk your furry friend! Additionally, I work as a grad student in a research lab, and I make my own work schedule. So, my schedule is relatively flexible, and I can be available in the early morning or late night if need be. I own a German shepherd, so I am very experienced in providing the time and attention necessary to stimulate and occupy your furry friend during our walks. Additionally, the apartment complex I live in has a private dog park that your furry friend can be taken to if you’re interested.
About: I have owned dogs and cats for as long as I can remember of different sizes breeds and colors. I love to walk with them play with them. Get to know them as well as bathing them in a hot summer day outside with the hose. Mind you I am not a professional groomer, but I do not mind making sure that dogs are comfortable clean and happy, I feel the same with cats. I will only be able to watch dogs in my home only on the weekends must be scheduled 3 days in advanced:) I do work your typical 9-5 job Mon-Fri. My evenings are typically open a few times a week but majority of my flexibility will be on weekends I don't mind doing over night checkins as well I unfortunately do not have a house with a backyard. So my services will only be offered going to the client's home and taking care of their pet. I also have experience with older dogs. My dog (that passed 4/20/26,was thirteen years old and needed to have certain vitamins and medications a day so I understand how senior dogs require special care i have owned and been around many dogs of all kinds shapes and sizes

“Kim and Bill, the dynamic duo, are the perfect people to watch your fur baby. I usually get anxious when leaving my dog at home, but Kim and Bill updated me frequently about Luna and sent me lots of pictures. They truly are the best!”

“Jesse was such a wonderful pet sitter for us during a weekend away! He was friendly, clearly enjoyed the pets, and his communication was awesome— lots of pics and videos to tide us over!”


“Emma was awesome! Our dog is really anxious and people-selective but Emma had him completely at ease. She gave frequent updates and took great care of the house too! Would definitely use her services again!”

“Stevie just stayed with our furry crew of 4 (1 dog and 3 cats) for 5 days. She sent GREAT pictures every day, and it was clear that our pets were very happy and comfortable the whole time. They were lying all over her in half the pictures! :D We came home to a happy household, and I'm so grateful for that. We had peace of mind for our furbabies while we were away. Stevie left our house just as she found it. Having never had someone house sit this way before, I was nervous (mostly because I have a quirky old house), but everything went fine. Stevie was respectful of our space, but hopefully also comfortable. I would absolutely book again!”

About: Hi! I’m a veterinary technician with 15 years experience working in Animal hospitals. I have a big heart for animals and I've been pet sitting for a few regulars for over 20 years. I’m so excited to start pet sitting on Rover. I've also fostered dogs for a rescue and currently work part-time as a vet tech for a rescue. Caring for pets isn’t just my job — it’s truly what I love to do every day. Working in veterinary medicine has given me experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and medical needs. Whether your furry family member needs medications, extra patience, or just lots of cuddles and playtime, I’m comfortable and confident providing safe, attentive care. I’m especially tuned in to reading body language and recognizing when something might be off, so your pet’s health and happiness are always my top priority. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I promise to treat them like one of my own. You can expect plenty of updates, photos, and reassurance while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your sweet pets! 🐾 I currently work for the school district transporting special needs children which gives me more free time during the day and summers. I also work part-time as a vet tech for an animal rescue. Before caring for your pet, I love learning as much as possible about them so I can give them the best, most personalized care! Please let me know about their daily routine, feeding schedule, favorite toys, energy level, and any little quirks that make them unique. It’s also very important that I’m aware of any medical conditions, medications, allergies, past injuries, or behavioral concerns (like anxiety, reactivity, or escape tendencies). As a vet tech, I’m comfortable administering medications and monitoring health concerns — I just like to be fully prepared ahead of time.
Newportville pet parents share their Rover experiences
Highly recommend Jimi for all your pups needs. We hired Jimi to house sit and watch our Oliver for a long weekend. We couldn’t be happier, he was extremely communicative and gave great updates on our pup and was extremely respectful of the house. We came home to a happy pup and a clean house. We are really grateful!!

Bridgett was a wonderful care taker for our 2 standard poodles. She took them on long walks and sent pictures of them enjoying the sunshine. Bridgett stayed in our home for 8 nights and we came home to a very clean and orderly home. I would definitely use her again.
Alyssa was wonderful! Will use her again! This was my first experience with having a dog sitter and through this site! Would highly recommend! Alyssa came prior to our vacation and met us and lady. Super sweet girl! During our trip she kept in contact since she knew I was nervous and sent lots of pictures! Thank you again Alyssa!

This is our first time using the Rover service and so glad we did! Rachel was awesome and couldn't asked for better care for our 2 cats. Rachel arrived as expected and stayed and played with them each time, sending pictures along the way. I felt very comfortable with Rachel and how well our babies took to her. Will definitely be using Rachel for future needs. Thanks Rachel!!! 🐾

Randi is fantastic! She was great with my dog, spending lots of time with her while we were away. Our flight was delayed and she was super flexible to work with our new plans so that I didn’t have to worry about the dog while trying to get home. Randi was also very communicative so I didn’t have any worries!
