“Marissa was absolutely wonderful! She came when expected and took really great care of our Willow girl. She communicated with pictures and updates which eased our minds so much! We definitely will be booking with her again, highly recommend!”

“She was amazing with my little guy. He’s full of energy and she was super attentive to him when coming to visit and play. Will need to call on her again when we have trips he can’t come on again. Thank you so much Reagan!”


“This was our first time working with Ashley and it was easy and stress free! She came for a meet and greet and a followup before our first visit which was helpful for me to show everything. I received a ton of pictures and I could tell our large, rambunctious pups were happy!! We will definitely work with Ashley again!”

About: I have been dog sitting for about 10 years for family and friends. I had my own pup for about 12 years. And all my siblings now have pets that I love to play with and watch! I work full time but I am available in the evenings if you ever need someone to take your pup out at night! And I am also free on the weekends! Whenever my family’s or friends dogs come to stay with me I have some beds for them to sleep in and I have a big backyard for them to play in.
About: Spending time with dogs isn't just something I do, it's what fills my soul! I can't think of a better way to spend my free time than sharing joy with your furry friend. It will make my day and theirs! Since I was a kid, I've been the go to pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors. While I have a special place in my heart for dogs, my love extends to all kinds of pets. furry, scaly, or feathered! 🐶🐱🐰🐦🐠 With a flexible schedule and a heart full of love, I'm here to give your dog the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. Let's make their day as delightful as they are! I work at a jazz club in the evenings, so my days are completely free from early morning until around 5–7 PM. Whether it’s a midday walk, morning cuddles, or a weekend adventure, I’m here to give your pup the attention and care they deserve. I have plenty of daytime availability and can visit multiple times a day if needed! I live in a spacious, clutter free apartment with my roommate, who also grew up with two dogs. We don’t have any pets right now, so your pup would get all the love and attention!

About: I've taken care of mutiple dogs with different disabilities to dogs with high energy and needs lots of play time. Depending on the age and activity it can handle depends my routine with them. If its a puppy, I will make sure to follow the guidelines set and to practice its skill to not collect bad habits. I am currently a leasing agent. My time spent with any pet will be the same. I will designate my days off to this app to help fellow neighbors Each situation is different depending on housing if it has a fence or how the dog is with people and other dogs. My main concern is being there if the dog needs to go to the bathroom or its daily walks. Then when its an over night visit. I make sure the dog knows its safe until the owner is home. If it were to come to my home I would ensure it is comfortable with the enviornment and bring toys and treats to help the dog settle in.

“I contacted Haley very last minute when I had to go to East Tennessee for an emergency. By last minute I mean she was at my house within the hour. She kept me thoroughly updated and took great care of my fur babies, and left my house just as it was. I'd highly recommend Haley for your pet sitting!”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly can't imagine life without them. I've owned both large and medium-sized dogs over the years, so I'm very comfortable handling and walking big pups with confidence. Whether your dog loves a long adventure, a leisurely sniff-filled stroll, or just wants some extra love and attention, I'm happy to meet them where they are. I recently worked as an adoption and foster counselor at an animal shelter in St. Louis, where I had the opportunity to work with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I'm comfortable handling dogs who are dog-reactive, dog-aggressive, leash biters, or shy and fearful, and I know that every dog deserves patience, kindness, and understanding. My own two dogs are my whole world, and I know how much trust it takes to leave your best friend in someone else's care. I'll treat your pup like one of my own—with plenty of love, attention, and lots of tail wags along the way! I currently work from home with a very flexible schedule, which means your pup will get plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. Whether they love extra walks, playtime, cuddle breaks, or simply having someone nearby, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away! At this time, I provide pet care exclusively in my clients' homes, where your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I'm happy to help with everything they need, including walks, feeding, fresh water, brushing, playtime, potty breaks, medication (if needed), and, of course, lots of love and attention. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible—for both you and your furry family member!

I’m reliable, patient, and dedicated to making pets feel safe and happy while you’re away. I'm excited to help care for your pets! i currently have a decently flexible schedule! Available weekdays after 2pm and all weekends. I can adjust to your pet care needs. Your pet will never know you're gone! I will treat them as my own pet and keep on their current routines to establish a great transition!
About: Hi! My name is Chelsea and im 30 years old. I have been fostering animals (with my family) since I was 8 years old and on my own since I was 22. I love all animals and long walks. I’m currently working part time and remote so I’ll have plenty of time for your pets! I make my own schedule so I am flexible and reliable. Happy to discuss fees for multiple pets to see if we can come to an arrangement we are all happy with :) Also can provide discounts for close distance and repeat clients. Use code CHELSP42284 for $20 off your first service with Rover. I am patient and calm and understand there may be an adjusting period before your pet feels safe with a new handler. With many years of foster experience of both cats and dogs, I know how to familiarize myself with a pet and make them feel the most comfortable. I will always be respectful of your home (if a drop in) and clean up after any messes. I will be respectful of your time and wishes for walks.
About: I have always owned a dog, my mom used to breed dogs so I always was around them. I have been taking care of animals since I was little but I would say for the last 10-15 years I actually did dog watching and would watch my grandmothers friends dogs at her house and would also drop in as needed. I have 3 dog babies and they are exactly that, big babies. I rescued all 3 from a rescue as puppy’s and my pitty was a runt and now is a big boy! I also have fostered dogs and helped my sister with her fosters. I can help with basic tricks but I’m not a professional and don’t claim to be! I have lived and taken care of some senior dogs. I’m comfortable with dogs from puppies to senior. I am also comfortable giving meds if needed, I haven’t had to give a dog an injection but I am willing to learn if you are willing to teach! I currently work fulltime as a unit secretary at the hospital, I can leave during my break for an hour. I work 7am-330pm and I am free most evenings after work. I also work every 3rd weekend so I am available on my off weekends. But the weekend I work I am not available because I work 7a-7p. If your pup needs some extra time to get used to people I am more then happy to come over before you book and meet them to make sure I can help make you and them as comfortable as possible. I am comfortable walking 2 big dogs at a time and 3-4 smalls dogs at a time. I don’t mind updating you as much as you need as they are your babies just as mine are to me. I put Shrek and Harry Potter on for my boys so they don’t get lonely during the day. I also make sure anything they can get into that might hurt them is away, and I make sure they have their collars on as well as double checking doors are locked. I am very accommodating so it never hurts to ask questions to see if it’s something I can help you feel more comfortable!
“Jen is a member of our fam now. Since we moved to the Jersey shore I have not let anyone else watch the fur babies. She’s so sweet and loving. She treats them so well and sends the best updates and pics. If she couldn’t watch them if we had to go somewhere, we honestly wouldn’t go.”

“Emily was WONDERFUL with our three dogs. She is responsible and a great communicator. She sent pictures from each visit. Our pups loved spending time with her. We’d definitely use her again.”

About: What sets me apart is my reliable, loving care that puts pets first. I’m experienced with giving medications, following each pet’s unique routine, and making sure they get plenty of outdoor time and attention. I treat every animal like family—with patience, consistency, and genuine affection. I’m currently self employed so I make my own schedule. Monday, Wednesday, and sometimes weekends work best right now. I can work around days as well. I can easily follow whatever instructions are left for me. My home is fenced in and has gates so your pet getting out wouldn’t be a problem.
About: Been taking care of cats since I can remember, I can administer medications brush them,trim nails, even give them a bath. If they are used to it. I currently don't work. So I'm eager to get started. I will be reliable and trustworthy with your babies. I can't wait to meet them. I will care for your pet like I would my own. Keeping them happy and safe. Cats are funny so it'll take a while for them to get used to me. All animals love me.
About: Multiple years of pet care experience through word of mouth from family & friends. Specializing with patience in nervous/ anxious dogs but I care for all! I am a loving dog mom that obsessed with my fur baby & will treat yours as my own! I currently work a full time job but I work from home two days a week which gives me more time to watch your pet! I am available weekends & during the week can do early morning, evening, & night time drop ins/ walks. **Please be advised that I work a full time job & am in office 2.5 days a week, this can mean that some days I will not be able to spend the entire day with your pup, please message me with any questions so that we can work something out** I can take care of your pet in your house as you would! If you'd like, I'll crate your pet upon departure or make sure they are comfortable roaming while you are gone. I provide care in your home so that your pet is comfortable while you’re away. When walking dogs I will make sure all of the accessories you use are used, as well as any other safety precautions I think may be necessary so your fur baby stays close to me & makes it home safely (collar, leash, harness, treats, etc). I promise to make sure to give them a lot of belly rubs, play with them, & let them drool all over me! As a mom of a rescue dog, I understand the patience and gentleness certain dogs need when anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed. If your dog falls under this category and has any special needs to be comfortable please let me know ahead of time.

About: I’ve taken care of friends and family’s pets for several years. Im experienced in animal care as not only have I owned several cats and dogs, but I have taken care of animals while working for state parks and an aquarium. As a pet owner it is already apart of my routine as I take care of my pets throughout the day. I currently work part time and my schedule is flexible. I look at pets as members of the family. My own dog gets multiple walks a day, play time, and treats in moderation. I believe every pet deserves to be treated with respect and love as they try their best for us.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ocean Gate
Dana was great. She kept me updated with my dog George . He wasn’t the best and ripped some things off my wall and she cleaned it up for me and made sure he couldn’t get to it again . She even brought in my garbage can which was so thoughtful and helpful . I will definitely use Dana again and would recommend her to anyone needing drop in visits .

Katie was incredible! From the start, she moved her schedule around to fit us in. She even came during a blizzard! She took care of both of our girls wonderfully, always sending us pictures. Katie went above and beyond for us and we would absolutely recommend her !

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 Ocean Gate 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.

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.
