“Anahi is a wonderful person and sitter! She is friendly, kind, and a great communicator. I was very nervous as it was my first time using the site to find a sitter, but I made the right choice booking Anahi. I was not expecting my shy cat to interact with her right away, but from the first visit, she was sharing pictures of them playing together, and him seeking her out for affection as she walked in on the second visit. I do believe animals are a great judge of character and I will be booking her for my next trip. Highly recommend.”
About: I love dogs more than people 😉 and have been around them my entire life — from Silky Terriers to German Shepherds. I’m a responsible, attentive, and genuinely caring person who will treat your dog like my own. We currently do not have any animals in the home, which allows me to focus fully on your dog’s care and comfort. While we live in an apartment, we’re just a few blocks from the beach in Asbury Park and have access to excellent walking routes. I take dogs on long daily walks of at least 3 miles and am always happy to go farther if that suits your pup. I’m especially understanding of dogs who may be anxious or reactive around other dogs. I know how stressful it can be to leave a dog with behavioral sensitivities, and I’m committed to providing a safe, calm, and structured environment. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I currently work outside the home three days a week. My husband works for the city and is home daily for lunch, so your dog will never go longer than about three hours without a potty break. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I spent 12 years caring for a dog who was reactive toward other dogs, so I understand how important structure, vigilance, and clear communication are. I take instructions seriously and will follow your care and safety guidelines closely — whether that means avoiding other dogs, using specific equipment, or sticking to a familiar routine. Our home is calm and pet-focused, and we currently do not have any animals, allowing me to tailor care to your dog’s individual needs. I’m attentive, proactive, and thoughtful in my approach, and I’m committed to creating a safe, predictable environment where your dog can feel secure and relaxed.
“Super appreciate Regina dropping in to take care of our dog Mouse. She was great at communication, happily set up a meeting ahead of the visit and was prompt and attentive to everything during the drop in. Would book again!”
“Jessica is extremely reliable. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and is a true extension with training our 8 month old Havanese, Pebbles. The consistency adds to Pebbles success. The lond voice and affection Jessica gives to Pebbles is appreciated and genuine. We highly recommend Jessica!!”
“Kathy and John always take great care of my Chrissy. I have had others in the past, but John and Kathy are The best. Great communication. I highly recommend them. 10 out of 10”
“Heather has been an occasional caregiver for our puppy, Jerry and our cat, Lola for the last 4 months. She was the first person to puppy sit for Jerry after we got him, and we are so glad that we found her through Rover! Heather assists with last minute dog walks, holiday pet sitting for the cat, as well as drop-ins. She is consistently reliable, and we've always felt 100% comfortable leaving her to care for the pets. We are so happy that she lives just down the road and will definitely be using her for future pet sitting!”
About: My name is Alexis. I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, and caring for pets is something that truly makes me happy. Friends and family have trusted me for years to walk, sit, and love their pets, and I always treat each one like they’re part of my own family. I do volunteer work three times a week and work from home. My day can be filled with caring for pets due to my free time and ability to make my own schedule. I have an apartment in a community with a fenced yard and it’s pet friendly. My apartment is large and I have lots of toys to play with.
“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: Dogs have always been part of my family, and I love building trust with each one I meet. I’m comfortable caring for pups of any age or temperament and make sure they get the perfect mix of exercise, attention, and affection. I share my home with four cats, so I’m experienced with managing different personalities. I’m reliable, observant, and always send updates so you can feel at ease. I work from home full-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets throughout the day. I can easily schedule walks, visits, and feedings around my calls and make sure your pets get the attention and companionship they deserve. I’ve always lived with animals — all rescues! I currently share my home with four cats, including one who’s deaf, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets with different needs and personalities. I provide a calm, safe environment and treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel secure and loved while you’re away.

About: I became a cat lover later in life, taking in a stray after a snow storm on Christmas day. Prior to that I was a self-described dog person. Now, I love cats and dogs equally as they both have special traits. I've had two family dogs during my childhood, and two during adulthood. I've dog-sat for a friend's senior dog during their summer vacations, and I've cat-sat for my sister's family cat, feeding, administering insulin shots, and giving him a little love. I trained my parents' nervous rescue dog to walk on a leash (taking months of patience!). I would love to walk or sit your family pet while you're at work, away for the weekend, or on vacation. As a school teacher, my summer schedule is flexible. For the summer, I have a flexible schedule and I can accommodate various times. We can work out a schedule based on your pet's needs. I can care for your cat in your home or in my home (I have one friendly mature cat). I can walk your dog in your neighborhood, or dog sit in your home.
About: I am a 10 year pet owner and volunteer at animal shelters walking dogs. I love to go on long walks, play outside, and giving lots of love and treats! I am a current college graduate looking for some part time opportunities. My schedule is very flexible and this allows me to spend time with animals which I enjoy! I am responsible for the grooming and feeding of my own cats and dogs- talking them on walks, cleaning and making sure they are safe.

Ocean Grove cat parents share their Rover experiences
Emily was excellent! She did 2 drop by visits for my cat, Jimmy, while I was on a work trip. She sent me lots of pictures and videos and would update me on how much food he ate from the day prior. She was always a few minutes early and was even considerate enough to offer to bring in a package I had delivered. Thank you so much Emily! Jimbo and the rest of the crew will be seeing you soon!
This is my second time booking with Anahi, and it’s been another great experience. She is highly communicative, very loving and attentive to my cat, and from the pics I get, he is clearly in love with her. I had concerns about being away during the winter storm, and both Anahi’s and Purr’s safety with roads iced over. We worked it out, and all was well. Thank you so much, Anahi! We appreciate you!
This was my first time using Marley to care for my kitties. From the meet and greet to the drop in visits she was really great! My kitties are my babies and I felt 100% comfortable knowing she was going to take great care of them for me. I will definitely use her again and would recommend her to anyone who wants top notch care for their fur babies!!
Melissa is a wonderful pet sitter! She did drops ins for my two cats. She washed dirty bowls that my cats used after eating. I thought that was so thoughtful of her to do this. She also took pictures of my pets , the pet food she fed them, as well as the cat pen area that she cleaned, everyday. In addition, she came over the day it was supposed to snow, on very short notice, for additional drop in visits. I asked her if she could do drops ins the day before, for this day. And even though it was short notice for this additional booking, she agreed to do the drop ins. I was relieved to not have to travel back home, an hour away, in inclement weather, the next day. I am so grateful for her hard work and for excepting my last minute booking, without much prior notice. Melissa is a reliable , flexible and kind pet sitter! I highly recommend her!
This was our first time leaving our cats for a long weekend, and Elizabeth made the experience completely stress-free! She followed our feeding instructions perfectly, gave the kitties plenty of playtime, and even earned the trust of our shy boy—no small feat. Her calm, caring energy was exactly what they needed, and it was clear they adored her. We’re so grateful for the peace of mind she gave us while we were away. We’ll definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to any cat families looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter!
