“Alexis is a wonderful dog sitter! She was super communacative and reliable in her check-ins which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. It’s obvious she’s a true animal lover and was very sweet with my dog, she did an excellent job- I’d definitely book with her again and highly recommend!”

“I left on vacation for a week and April took amazing care of my dog, Rocky. She was reliable, attentive, and kept me updated the whole time. I came home to a Rocky happy and well fed. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend her for anyone needing a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!”


“Meghan is the absolute best caring human for us and our skittish dog. She goes the extra mile to put the dog at ease and always shows added compassion. We are so very grateful to her, to the person she is, and for being the best possible caregiver to our shy dog. We found an angel. Thanks for all that you do for putting our hearts and minds at ease. You are so appreciated. Sheena is so glad to have you in her life and so are we.”


“First time meeting Petey. She is great! He was a little reluctant to walk, he barked at first. Food motivated so a little treat at introduction and now he knows who she is, and it was a really good first time walk. 👍🏼😊”

About: I have taken care of pets for over 10 years. I walk and care for neighbors dogs when they need me. I feed them on schedule and walk them several times a day. Its a joy for me. Your pet would be watched over personally throughout the day. I work from home and walk frequently. There is a dog park near by that I go to. I have tile floors, plenty of toys and enjoy spending time with dogs! Pets are allowed in the living room/kitchen area. Its a clean house so they can't get into trouble. LOL! They can be kept in a crate during the night or in a gated playpen. I have a doggie cam you can access to check in on your pet for added comfort.

About: I provide calm, high-quality pet care for dogs and cats who deserve thoughtful, attentive companionship while you’re away. With over a decade of experience caring for senior, medically sensitive, and young animals, I approach each pet with patience, structure, and emotional awareness. I grew up with two dogs and now share my home with three cats, so caring for animals has always been part of my daily life. I am deeply committed to giving them abundant love, attention, and a safe, nurturing environment — and I extend that same care to every pet I look after. I have hands-on experience supporting senior cats with complex health needs, including kidney care, digestive sensitivities, medication routines, and careful monitoring of appetite, hydration, and litter habits. I understand how essential consistency and routine are for older pets and those managing chronic conditions. I am comfortable administering oral medications and following detailed care instructions with precision, gentleness, and reliability — ensuring your pet’s routine remains stable, calm, and stress-free in your absence. I’m currently enrolled in a master’s program with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate consistent time and attention to the pets in my care. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize maintaining their established routine to ensure they feel secure and comfortable. I follow detailed feeding schedules, provide fresh water, structured walks or playtime, and keep litter or potty areas clean and well-maintained. I pay close attention to appetite, hydration, energy levels, and behavior to catch any subtle changes early. For pets with medical needs, I carefully follow all medication instructions and monitor them closely. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and consistent environment so your pet experiences as little stress as possible while you’re away.
About: Hi! I’m Sydney, and I’ve been dog and cat sitting for over 10 years for wonderful families in my community. I recently joined Rover to connect with more pet parents and expand my pet care services. I truly love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether it’s long walks, playing fetch, sticking to feeding routines, or simply keeping them company, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so if I board your pet, I’ll be home with them throughout the day, giving them plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I work from home so if I'm boarding your pet I will be with them all day giving them lots of walks and attention throughout the day. I care for pets as if they were my own, always prioritizing their safety, comfort, and routine. In my home, pets receive constant supervision, plenty of attention, and lots of exercise through walks and playtime. I work from home, so I’m able to be with them throughout the day, provide timely meals, potty breaks, and make sure they feel comfortable and settled.
About: Hello, my name is Heather and I love animals. I have extensive experience as a dog walker and dog and cat sitter. I have taken care of dogs as small as Chihuahuas and as large as Neapolitan Mastiffs. While I usually watch one or two pets in a household, a former client of mine had 5 dogs who were different breeds, 3 rabbits, and 2 cats. I have my own cat named Shadow and have been a cat owner for most of my life. I became a vegetarian because I love animals. If you entrust me to watch over your pets in your home, I will treat them like my own. I am caring, gentle, reliable, and hardworking. If I am taking care of your pets, I can also bring in your mail, water your plants, and whatever else you may need. Whenever I see a dog or a cat, I pet him or her. When I visit one of my former clients, he remembers me and wags his tail in happiness. :) Thank you for considering me as your dog sitter! Why I love dog sitting I love taking care of dogs because they are so sweet and each one has a different personality. :) I am available for walks and overnight stays. I am also a nanny for children. I prefer non-agressive dogs who are good on the leash or have a backyard. While I can't care for dogs at my home, if I stay at the client's house, I usually sleep wherever the client chooses, and cater to the dog's needs.
About: A life-long dog owner, I’ve been taking care of dogs all sizes and ages since I was 13 years old. I pride myself in being reliable and extremely engaging with animals. I communicate with each client to determine their pet care needs and strive to create a stress-free experience for everyone! I currently work full-time from 8:30 am - 5 pm in Asbury Park. I am available before work from 6 am to 8 am, or anytime after work. I am also available on weekends! I live in a small apartment three blocks from the beach with my French Bulldog, Bean! My street is very safe and offers a great ambiance for walks. I’m happy to offer my cozy space for daycare or sleepovers, but I can only accommodate one other medium/large dog or two small dogs. If your dog is crate-trained, please plan on bringing it!
“I’m a new dog mom to my little puppy and i don’t trust anyone with my pup, so when i had to find a baby sitter in a pinch i was nervous to try someone new. john and kathy were so great with my Moose and he was so happy and tired out by the time he got home from such a great walk on the beach with them. they sent constant pics and i felt safe with Moose. thanks again! will definitely use again now that I know how great they are.”

I take the dogs side out frequently and play fetch there a local park the dogs enjoy. Always free to stay home for your pets. I enjoy play time and taking pictures while playing. I also enjoy making sure the pet owner is pleased with my service. To make the pets feel safe, I will let them roam and get a feel for their new environment when they arrive. My doors are always secure to prevent pets from free roaming outside when it's not time to.

“Keith is extremely knowledgeable about dogs and dog behavior. He’s kind, patient, confident and calm. I have two young dogs and they both instantly loved him. I felt extremely comfortable leaving my young puppy with him for a walk. I knew she would not only be safe, but have a fun and enriching experience. Highly recommend!”

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!

I can’t recommend Anahi enough! She went above and beyond to care for my baby boy. From regular updates with photos to thoughtful check-ins, I always felt at ease knowing he was in such capable and loving hands. Bailey was happy, well-fed, and clearly adored. It’s rare to find someone this reliable, attentive, and genuinely kind. I’ll definitely be booking with Anahi again—thank you for everything!

We couldn’t be happier with Katie! She’s been absolutely wonderful with our large (and sometimes stubborn) golden retriever. Not only does she take him on walks, but she also stays to play with him afterward, which he loves. Katie is reliable, kind, and great with big dogs. Highly recommend!!!
