About: I'm looking for dogs and cats to keep me company. I love to go for long walks and am used to having pets around me all the time. I travel frequently, so I am not a good fit for someone looking for consistent availability. I've spent the past few years pet sitting while traveling around North America and Europe. I've house sat in mansions with household staff as well as rustic off-grid homesteads. I've done well over 100 house sits, some of which were several months long. Before I became a pet sitter, I had my own cats, one of whom had diabetes. Before I bought my own home, I took care of my roommate's dogs. I grew up on a dahlia farm in Wall, NJ, where we had lots of dogs and cats over the years. In addition to Rover's background check, I've passed background checks to move to Portugal in 2022, become a Canadian citizen in 2022, work with vulnerable people in Canada in 2021, and move to Canada in 2015. I work remotely for a small nonprofit where I have a flexible schedule. This makes it easy for me to keep your pets on their usual routine. I'm a very tidy person. Over the years I've had all sorts of things come up while pet sitting, so I'm confident that I can manage whatever happens.
“Madison was great! She is super friendly and patient with my puppy Honey. Honey loved her and cried for her by the door when she left. If you’re looking for care for your pets she is your go to. I will definitely be using her again!!”
“There are not enough nice things I can say about Jessica! She was great with Keyser! Keyser is a senior and can be a little tricky to care for. But, he bonded with Jessica instantly and we knew he was in great hands! We highly recommend Jessica!”
About: I have 5 years of pet-sitting experience, 2 in New York city and 3 in Jersey Shore area. I have cared for mostly cats and dogs but I I’ve had various types of pets my whole life. I enjoy doing yoga, running, dancing, reading and trying new things. I love nature and I can give your pets lots of outside playtime. From young to old, I will treat your doggie as my own! I can’t wait to care for and have fun with your furry friends! If you have any questions feel free to contact me. I'm currently enrolled in online school and work remotely so I'm at home all day to tend to your pet's needs! On weekends I love to have prolonged play time and go for outdoors runs/walks—I would love for your pet to join! I love to be outdoors so I'd be glad to play with pets in the yard or take them on long walks. I also enjoy play time and cuddle time indoors!
About: As an EMT and pet owner, I’m dependable, attentive, and comfortable staying calm when unexpected situations arise. I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pets and home while you’re away. I’m happy to provide walks, meals, playtime, companionship, photo updates, and plenty of affection while following your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide! I work longer shifts 4 days each week, which gives me 3 full days off each week to dedicate to pet care. My availability varies by day, but I keep my calendar updated and only accept bookings I know I can fully accommodate. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays depending on the dates and your pet’s routine. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine and care instructions closely so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, feeding instructions, and any household rules you provide. As an EMT, I’m dependable, attentive, and comfortable staying calm if something unexpected happens. I’ll also send regular photos and updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Darlene is amazing with my dog and he LOVES her!! She always provides the full 30 minute walk which I truly appreciate. She also makes sure he eats before she leaves, and she is always in great contact with me. I truly always look for Darlene's availability when looking to book my dog for a walk. I would definitely say she is the best I have used on here and I will recommend her again and again!”
About: I have 10+ years of pet sitting experience. I love walking and am happy to provide your pup with the exercise they need. I also specialize in senior dog care including medication administration. I am home full time so I can give your pet all of the love and attention they need. I am a very active person. I live in a pet friendly apartment with an outdoor space. I am happy to learn and adjust to the needs of each unique animal.
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 personally know what it means to be willing to trust others with your pet (it can be a little scary at first!). I have a 12 year old Yorkie myself who is my best friend, and I would be taking the same steps to ensure she was in the best care. I am an animal-loving, compassionate health-care provider that is a local and looking to spend my spare time to help others with their fur babies. I am open to any requests you may have :) Please feel free to contact me about anything and I will try my absolute best to accommodate. Early mornings before work (before 8am), or later afternoons (any time after 6pm), and ALL-DAY on weekends I am available. Dependent on request, I may be able to accommodate on lunch as well (I work in point pleasant and can drive back on lunch) While I cannot take your pet to my home, I will be more than happy to go to your home to best suit your needs.
About: I have experience as a vet tech and a shelter care worker. I have worked with animals for about 10 years and have personal experience for longer. Currently work full time but from home so my schedule is flexible for day walks and visits. Overnight care available as well and can discuss staying to work in the house. I use a fear free and training based approach to care. As a prior vet tech I have medical experience to deal with medically complex pets.
About: Hello 😁 I have experience with dogs of all sizes but have an extra space in my heart for larger breeds. I grew up with 4 cats, so I’m no stranger to them either! All animals in my care receive “I love you’s” when I leave, and are talked to throughout the day. I truly treat them like I would my own. If I get the privilege of an overnight sit, you will always come back to a clean home, guaranteed ✨ I work from home, so I’m always available for longer sits as well as shorter visits and walks. Weekdays and weekends are great, I just like to plan ahead as much as possible. I make sure to honor specific and detailed instructions so that I can provide the same level as care as you do! I want your babies to feel like you never left. I’ll never fill your shoes, but I will surely try 🙂
“Michelle was great and willing to extend my dogs stay by a few hours with short notice. She sent lots of pictures and kiko couldn’t have been happier.. I would use her again anytime…5stars”
About: I love being outside and enjoying nature especially with a pup!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ocean Grove
I couldn’t be happier with Keith as Desmond’s dog walker. He’s always on time, super reliable, and makes scheduling walks so easy. We always get photo updates during every walk — giving us peace of mind that Desmond is in great hands. More than anything, Desmond loves him! Tail wagging, and pure excitement every time Keith comes to the door. It’s clear Keith genuinely cares about the dogs he walks, and it’s not just a job for him. Highly recommend Keith to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive walker
We are so happy we found Kathy and John. We were staying in Ocean Grove for the week with our dog, Harley, and needed a last minute dog walker. Away from home, we turned to Rover and saw all of their positive reviews. We couldn’t agree more. They were flexible and communicative. We loved seeing the pictures of Harley and were relieved she was being well taken of while we were away.
Jessica was outstanding! She was available on NYE when I needed last minute help. She even came to the house during the day and met with me and Bowie for a meet and greet before she came back that evening on her own. She went above and beyond with sending me updates as well as photos and videos, and even did other things like refill his food and water and remove his collar once he was in for the night (as I requested). My dog instantly was comfortable around her and you can see that she is very professional and passionate about her job. 10/10 recommend, she was so kind and a true life saver!

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
