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.
“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.”
“Emily is fabulous with our dog, Milo. She also did a great job caring for my mom’s dog who is staying with us. She came on time, took the dogs for a walk (even in the heat!), and sent photos and great communication. We love having Emily help us when we’re away!”
“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.”
“Kathy and John are by far the best! We have a Golden Retriever who gets depressed when we leave her. John and Kathy did daily visits and played with her, walked with her and truly loved her. When we got back, our Golden was as happy as she could be and didn’t seem to miss at all. Kathy and John are a gift. They kept us informed, sent us pictures and were the best!!! We will use them again and again!!!”
“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!”
“Cristy was so great! She cane at the same time everyday and fed and played with my cat. I was out of two for three days and Cristy sent me pictures and blurbs about how my cat was doing. So glad I was able to get in contact with her!”
“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!!”
“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!”

I have been around both my entire life, which has helped me become comfortable with different personalities, routines, and care needs. I understand that every pet is unique and deserves patience, attention, and reliable care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm and relaxed environment, I am committed to providing attentive care, companionship, and plenty of affection while you’re away.

When caring for pets, I focus on maintaining their normal routine and making them feel comfortable and safe. Having cared for my own three cats, I understand the importance of providing fresh food and water, a clean environment, playtime, and plenty of attention. In a client's home, I will follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, litter box or waste cleanup, and any special routines your pet is used to. I also enjoy spending quality time with pets through play, companionship, and enrichment activities to help them feel relaxed while their owners are away. My goal is to treat every pet with the same care, patience, and attention that I would give my own.
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 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.

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!

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!
Emily is the absolute best! We continue to rebook her to take care of our 2 dogs. By now she has built a beautiful relationship with our boys. She goes above and beyond to make sure they eat and that they are in good spirits when we have to go away. Our boys are very attached to us and they get so sad when we have to leave them. Emily is so caring and attentive with them. This last time when we returned from our trip the boys looked so happy and healthy. That was all thanks to the wonderful care and attention Emily gives them. I love getting the updates from her, each update comes in on time with pictures and videos. It eases my mind and heart that my babies are being cared for by such a wonderful person. She’s a star! We are so lucky to have found her. ✨🤩✨
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 18,559 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ocean Grove. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Ocean Grove stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ocean Grove. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
