“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.”
“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: Hi! I'm Katie, a doggy daycare manager and dog lover! I’ve been walking/working with dogs for upwards of 10 years and I can’t get enough of it. Due to my 6 years of experience at a doggy daycare, I have had experience with many types of dogs- puppies, seniors, special needs, low confidence pups, and those with behavioral troubles. No matter what your dog needs, I can help! I can provide your pup with all the physical exercise they need, as I love to be active and outdoors. I have also trained my own dog and can help yours with basic obedience and leash skills. I can’t wait to meet your pup!! I have a varying schedule, but work 6.5 hour shifts, so I’m always free for at least half a day. I keep my availability up to date in order to best help you schedule with me. I have a friendly 3year old American Bully, Frank. If your pup stays at my home, they’ll have a furry friend and all the care they need!
About: Hi, I'm Robin. I currently work as a nurse but have 10 years of experience as a veterinary technician at various animal hospitals.I was Fear Free certified at the last animal hospital I worked at and have experience with dogs, cats, and rabbits. I grew up owning dogs and cats all of my life and I have been a volunteer dog walker at an animal shelter since I was 16 years old. I currently share my home with my rescue dog, Riley and three cats, Willow, Julius, and Chase. I have off from work on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays so I am available anytime but also willing to do the occasional walk/drop in on evenings after work. I have a lot of experience walking my dog as I am in an apartment so I walk her frequently and a lot of experience walking other dogs in all kinds of settings.
“Olivia was great with taking care of Chrissy. She kept me updated on how Chrissy was eating and drinking and she did a great job in cleaning up afterwards. I would definitely recommend Olivia to anyone who needs a sitter. She is very dependable”
“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!”

I’m comfortable caring for pups of any age or temperament and make sure they get the perfect mix of exercise, attention, and affection.

About: As an EMT and pet owner, I’m dependable, attentive, and comfortable staying calm when unexpected situations arise.

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.

I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays depending on the dates and your pet’s routine.

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: Hi, I am Dawn, a lifelong dog lover with over 30 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes,and personalities. From playful puppies to sweet seniors, I treat every dog like a member of the family! I have had dogs my entire life and love playing, walking and just being around their energy! I am a mother of 3 children and I have always loved animals. We always had dogs while the children were growing up. I am a very active and love to interact with the dogs. Being around their whimsical, curious, playful manner just makes me smile. I like to keep active and love being outdoors in nature. I offer weekday morning and afternoon walks in the Asbury Park and Allenhurst area, perfect for pups who need some exercise, fresh air, or just a mid-day break while you are at work. Whether your dog is high energy and needs a good paced walk or prefers to take it slow and sniff around, I adjust to their pace and personality. I am confident in handling all types of dogs . I will always make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved and well cared for. I have had the pleasure of house sitting in the past and had a precious bond with the dogs I sat for. I will provide dependable, loving care tailored to your dog's unique needs. My schedule is very flexible and allows me to adjust accordingly.

About: With 10+ years of experience caring for my own dog as well as cats of all temperaments, I am eager to offer quality, safe, and attentive care to pets in my area. I know how stressful it can be to have to find quality animal care last minute, but I absolutely love animals and hope to be able to take some stress off of both owners and their pets. I love working with big dogs and high energy breeds, but am open to caring for all kinds of animals! My full-time role is as a Park Ranger, so I have an extremely flexible schedule ranging throughout the day. I typically know my schedule for the month by the 15th of the previous month and am willing to work around everyone’s schedules to find the sweet spot of what works best for us. ✨🐴 Alongside experience with dogs and cats, I have experience caring for horses and pack mules! I have veterinary science experience in Equine Hoof & Limb from college, as well as several years of experience caring for therapeutic riding horses, National Park Service pack mules and horses, and show horses. I am a full-time park ranger with a very flexible schedule. I’m not trapped in a strict office schedule and have my month planned out by the 15th of the month prior, so I can absolutely plan care with a shorter or longer term notice. Due to my prior experience caring for pets and with veterinary science education, I am a very careful caregiver. For all animals, but especially for cats, I will regularly make sure I am not bringing anything in that could spread communicable diseases or endanger the animal in any way. With all animals but specific with dogs, they will not be left unattended to roam even in fenced areas that they are used to - I know how beloved animals are to our families, and I will always have an eye on your pet while they are in my care! Additionally, I will not bring in any other animals or guests that are not agreed upon with the owner beforehand - I believe that if you hire someone to watch, walk, or care for your pet, you deserve 100% clarity over who they are, what their experience is, and who/what is entering your space.
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 was a vet tech for almost 20 years before leaving the profession for something a little less back breaking. I have been an animal lover my entire life and have never known life without a pet. I started pet sitting for family and neighbors when I was ten years old, and as a vet tech continued doing so for many years for veterinarians, friends, co workers, and clients of the hospitals I worked at. Currently in need of some extra income and would love to spend some time with your sweet pup who needs to be let out in the evenings or your kitty who needs an extra drop in while you’re away for a weekend. Please feel free to reach out with requests that it looks like my calendar may not be able to accommodate. Sometimes my schedule can be flexible! I work full time during the week, but am home in the evenings. Weekends and mondays I have some additional flexibility but that varies by day. I’m mostly available for drop ins, or routine evening activities. As an ex Vet Tech I understand how much everyone’s pets mean to them and giving them safe and happy exercise and company is my main goal. Snuggles too, of course. If they want them. :)
About: I have been a dog lover for my whole life and have been assisting and caring for dogs for the past 12+ years. Currently have a four-year-old Cavapoo who is our best bud! I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule to work within your needs. Always looking to helping hand to a pup in need. I am comfortable walking your dog on a leash as well as taking them out side in a fence backyard. If creating is necessary, that is no problem either
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. I grew up on a farm. I know animals need excerise everyday as well as love and attention. If your life right now is a little busy and need someone to help out with your animals routine Ill be more than happy to take the job. Right now I’m not working, I have plenty of time to help out with your pets routine. I’m available 7 days a week, if that changes I will make note of it on this profile. I can do house trips to take your dog for a walk and give some attention. I can stop in few times a day/night if your traveling for work or just vacation. Also if you would like I also go to parks and dog parks if your dog likes to socialize. I have a female beagle mix named Khloe that I adopted 3 years ago. Khloe is very good with dogs and cats, loves to play. I have a 3 year old beagle mix named Khloe. She loves to play with other dogs big or small. If your pet needs to be separated from other dogs incase of surgery’s or they don’t get along well with others I can also do that! I walk my Khloe 3x a day at least 2x a day a half to hour walk each time around my neighborhood. I also go to dog parks and parks to walk!
“Mary was awesome. She accommodated a pretty short notice request for our first time for a drop-in. And while our dogs can be anxious around new people, she had no concerns and took them out and played with them and they had a blast. We will definitely be using her services again.”

I just used Meghan for a 10 day trip out of town. She made it here in bad weather, when it wasn’t always convenient for her. She always goes above and beyond and loves my puppy and he loves her.! She’s a real animal lover and a total pro in every respect. Don’t hesitate to employ her. You will not regret it. I’m so very thankful that I found her . Thank you, Meghan !
Regina was wonderful while we were away! She was so kind, communicative and patient with our cats, especially when one of them was hiding and the other was having some stomach issues. She kept us updated throughout the whole weekend and was so sweet and understanding about everything. She even called right away when she noticed a leak in our ceiling which we were incredibly grateful for. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was looking out for our cats but our home as well. We’re so appreciative of her and would absolutely recommend her ♥️
Jessica is a cat whisperer!!! She took amazing care of my two cats while I was traveling. One of my kitties is extremely shy and usually never comes out from hiding for anyone…but Jessica got her out of her hiding spot and playing! My other cat has a lot of energy and Jessica played with him a lot, too! It was so nice knowing that my cats were in good hands while I was away. Jessica is extremely responsible, reliable, and dependent. I feel like she took care of my cats as if they were her own.
Keith is an angel who helped us during an emergency when our dog had separation anxiety on vacation. He went above and beyond. He is respectful, trustworthy, great with communication, and my dog absolutely loved him! An amazing person with a huge heart. Keith is the greatest of all time.
Absolutely amazing, super knowledgeable, immensely loving, sweet, and patient with our fur-babies!!! We have yet to have ever, even once, found such a kind, responsible, communicative and absolutely unparalleled person - let alone such a dynamic duo - as these two!!! My partner and I can both tell for 100% sure, from all of the gorgeous, super adorable, photos that Kathy and John take on each of their drop-ins and long walks with our two doggos, that they cannot wait for the next time that Kathy and John come to care for them 🥰😍🤩. Each and every visit, they go for long walks, smell all the sniffs in our neighborhood, play games inside and outside, and get all the food, water, love and attention that they need!! They are simply the best!!
Rachel was great! Our dogs loved her. Not only did she feed and walk them to go potty, she spent time playing with them in the yard. They loved chasing the ball and getting belly rubs. Rachel is a sweet and caring person and would highly recommend her to care for your fur babies!

- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
