About: In all my 22 years of life, I have always had a dog and have assisted in feeding, bathing, and walking the dogs I’ve had. I’ve always been an animal person even considered becoming a vet at one point. Whenever I am at someone’s home, you can find me hanging out with their pet wether it’s a dog or cat or even a snake! In addition to walks on ROVER I make and sell custom stickers. Pet stickers are especially popular and my Etsy is ShopMomentsFromMichi I currently have a flexible schedule, please reach out to me a week in advance, so I can fit your pup into that schedule!! I do 20 hours of volunteer work a week and babysit, I plan each weeks work days/ volunteering days about a week in advance and would love to add your precious pet into that mix! I am looking to do dog walking and dropping in! I am open to taking your dog for a leashed walk around the neighborhood or drive them to a fenced in dog park if you’re comfortable with it!! Whenever I walk a dog I always bring myself and the dog water to keep us safe and hydrated.
“Carly was a blessing to have while we were away. We have two senior kitties who both require medication and she was able to administer it all. Super communicative and personable. Highly recommend and will use again.”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for cats and dogs. I have been around both my entire life, which has helped me become comfortable with different personalities, routines, and care needs. I understand that every pet is unique and deserves patience, attention, and reliable care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm and relaxed environment, I am committed to providing attentive care, companionship, and plenty of affection while you’re away. I currently have full availability from Friday through Sunday, allowing me to dedicate quality time to your pets and ensure they receive the care and attention they deserve. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work Monday through Thursday as an Operations and Program Assistant, which allows me to dedicate my full attention to pet care on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays with open availability. I am also available for morning, evening, and overnight care depending on your pet's needs. Having grown up around cats, dogs, reptiles, and horses, caring for animals has always been a part of my daily life. I enjoy spending time with animals and am committed to providing reliable, attentive care while keeping pets comfortable and maintaining their normal routines. When caring for pets, I focus on maintaining their normal routine and making them feel comfortable and safe. Having cared for my own three cats, I understand the importance of providing fresh food and water, a clean environment, playtime, and plenty of attention. In a client's home, I will follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, litter box or waste cleanup, and any special routines your pet is used to. I also enjoy spending quality time with pets through play, companionship, and enrichment activities to help them feel relaxed while their owners are away. My goal is to treat every pet with the same care, patience, and attention that I would give my own.

About: I’m the owner of Happy Tails, a local dog walking and pet care business serving Long Branch and nearby Monmouth County neighborhoods. I’m also a backup dog walker for another pet care company, which has given me hands-on experience with different dogs, routines, homes, and owner preferences. I speak English and Spanish, and I care about being reliable, communicative, and gentle with every pet I’m trusted with. Pet care is part of my regular weekly work because I own Happy Tails, my local dog walking and pet care business. When I’m not already booked with Happy Tails clients or backup walks for another pet care company, I’m typically available Monday 1–5 PM, Tuesday 9 AM–5 PM, Wednesday 1–5 PM, Thursday 1–5 PM, and Friday 9 AM–5 PM. I keep my schedule organized so I can give each pet reliable, focused care without overbooking myself. For Rover, I currently offer dog walks and drop-in visits only, so I care for pets in their own home and neighborhood, not in my home. I follow each client’s instructions closely, including leash and harness preferences, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, medications if needed, and any routines that help their pet feel comfortable. I prioritize safety, trust, and communication, and I’m careful to leave the home secure and the pet calm, happy, and cared for.

I would treat your dog the same I would treat my own. I would love and care for your dog because I would want someone to do the same for mine.

“Jon is a cat whisperer. A cat magnet. We were worried about leaving our two 1-1/2 year old cats for 10 days to take a family visit. There was absolutely nothing to be worried about.

Nicole was amazing! I’m so excited to have found such a wonderful caretaker for my dog. Her communication was quick and friendly, and my dog clearly loved her immediately. Nicole sent videos and photos - and made me feel so at ease leaving my dog in her caring hands. I can’t wait to use her again!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Oakhurst 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.
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 Oakhurst 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. 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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 Oakhurst with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
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.
