About: I've grown up with dogs since I was 10 and have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs, sometimes two or three at a time! I’ve also looked after cats, so I’m comfortable with a variety of pet personalities and needs. With over 5 years of pet sitting experience, I’ve learned to be highly attentive to each pet’s unique routine, behavior, and comfort level. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and the joy I find in spending quality time with them! Whether it’s going on walks or just relaxing together, I always do my best to make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I work a 9–5, so my availability is mostly weekend centered with holiday exceptions! However, I am open to short term care after 5pm on weekdays and I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets are cared for properly! I follow each owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if applicable), and any specific care needs. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision while keeping owners updated with messages and photos throughout the stay. My goal is to make pets feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while giving owners peace of mind while they’re away!
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old. I grew up with a German Shepherd named Eva, the love of my life. While a sophomore in high school, I began working at a dog daycare called Pups@Play Montclair. That job gave me invaluable knowledge of dog behavior and relationship dynamics. I learned the intricacies of their behavior, body language, personality, whether they were high energy or low energy, active or reactive, etc. I used that to diffuse many doggy disputes. I worked with and managed 50+ dogs everyday. Daschunds, puppies, mutts, great danes, shepherds, samoyeds, bulldogs, pitbulls, hairless, everything. I can handle any dog I meet. You can trust me to handle your dog with care, happiness, love, understanding, and patience. I am fit and ready to play! Dogs hold such a special place in my heart and I can't wait to meet yours! I am a student at Rutgers New Brunswick and my schedule currently has me free after 5pm on weekdays and any time after 9am on weekends. I can potentially be available if there is a special circumstance but that is by no means a guarantee. I do not currently offer boarding services. If I were to offer boarding, your dog would be comfortable, happy, hydrated, and well-fed. Have a great day, talk to you soon!
“She did such an amazing job watching my 2 dogs and cat. I appreciated all of the photo updates I received. Everyone seemed well taken care of while I was away. Would recommend her 1000x.”

“Rebecca was amazing, reliable and communicative. She gave my pom oral medication twice daily while I was away and topical treatment for her skin infection. She was attentive and caring toward my other 2 dogs and gave them treats as well. Rebecca was of major assistance while I was out of town and I can't say her praises highly enough. Definitely recommend leaving your pets on her care as she's a true animal lover and very responsible.”

“Gary did a great job. My cat decided to be shy this weekend, but Gary was able to coax her out of her shell a bit. All instructions were followed as explained in the meet & greet.”


About: Hi, I’m Cherish! I’ve been passionately pet sitting since 2019. While I took a brief break from Rover, I am so excited to be back doing what I love most: providing top-tier, reliable care for your fur babies. Over the years, I have specialized in advanced pet care. I am fully confident and experienced in administering medications, including both oral treatments and injections. I also have a deep tenderness and specialized experience caring for blind and deaf dogs, ensuring they feel safe, secure, and loved. Don't worry if your pup is on the younger side, though—I have plenty of stamina to keep up with high-energy puppies who need lots of playtime! In addition to dogs I have experience with single or multi-cat households as well as exotic pet care like birds, turtles, lizards, chinchillas, and fish Dog Room and Care Services for Your Furry Friend Your beloved pet deserves the best and I am excited to offer a dedicated dog room in my home that provides everything your pup needs for comfort, including crates, couches, and cots. I guarantee your furry friend will have plenty of playtime and potty breaks, alternating every 2 to 3 hours between indoor and outdoor activities. Please note that all new guests are required to have a meet and greet prior to booking their stay, and unfortunately, same-day bookings cannot be accommodated. My goal is to stick to your pet's schedule and ensure that every stay is a positive and enjoyable experience. I have a fenced in yard and dedicated dog room. For any pups who may not be adjusting to the pup room I do allow them in other areas of the house.
About: Hello! My name is Nicole and I've been an animal lover my whole life and a Veterinary Technician for almost 18yrs. Because of my experience, I am able to provide a little extra care and caution if a pet is in need of medical treatments, has special needs, senior care. I can also make educated observations in the event something is not right with your pet. Meaning, a non-veterinary person may not pick up on or be capable of handling certain situations that I can. I also love senior dogs. I hate the thought of a senior being left at a big boarding facility where it's loud and chaotic. I love that I can provide a cozy and safe alternative to them while understanding their needs as a senior. I am very capable and confident in caring for pets that are diabetic, on subcutaneous fluids, on medication, dietary restrictions, or physical restrictions etc. I can also do things like nail trims, anal gland expression, professional bathing, trim fur around faces, butts, paws, etc. Vet tech, foster mom, rescue mom, pet love enthusiast, very experienced dog/cat petter. 😂 I live and breathe animal care. No really, I've been breathing in pet hair my whole life. I have my own pets that are very used to other dogs coming and going and are very welcoming and friendly. They are older and well behaved so they don't ever mind having visitors. Meal times everyone is always separated as a precaution. I do have a fenced in yard but I never leave anyone out there without me being there to directly supervise. I have cameras to check in when I'm not home. I also have the benefit of being able to bring a pet to work with me should they need to be watched closer for any reason.
About: Reliable, patient, and loving pet sitter providing personalized care for puppies, adults, and senior dogs. I follow routines, give plenty of attention, and treat every dog like family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule(teacher) that allows plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and giving each pet the attention and care they deserve. Once school starts, my routine will vary. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. I follow each pet's routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of affection. In a client's home, I respect their space while maintaining their pet's normal schedule to help them feel relaxed and happy.
“Laura was pleasant ,considerate, flexible, and followed directions perfectly. She communicated with me through her drop in and made sure Nova was well cared for ( and got her to poop which is a big deal to us 😂). Would highly recommend!”

“Megan M. was amazing with my pack (4) of very large boys! She was friendly and professional! I will definitely use her again if I ever need Rover to cover a day my friends and family can't! The boys definitely made a new friend! 🐾💙”

About: Hi, I'm Ashlee! 🐾 Thank you for stopping by my profile! I know choosing someone to care for your pet is a big decision because they're so much more than "just a dog", they're family. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and cared for every step of the way. I offer: 🐶 Dog boarding 🏡 House sitting 🚶 Dog walking 🦴 Drop-in visits Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, sticking to a routine, or simply relaxing on the couch, I'll tailor my care to their individual personality and needs. I share my home with my Mini Bernedoodle, Finnley, who has taught me just how unique every dog can be. Caring for him has shown me the importance of patience, consistency, positive reinforcement, and paying attention to the little things that help a dog feel safe and at home. I'm also comfortable with: 💊 Administering oral medications 🐾 Caring for puppies, adult dogs, and seniors ❤️ Providing individualized care based on your pet's routine and needs Communication is one of my top priorities. You'll receive regular photo and video updates throughout your booking, along with prompt responses if you ever want to check in. I want you to have complete peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Whether your pet is staying overnight, going for a walk, or just needs a drop-in visit while you're at work, I'll treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I'd want someone to give Finnley. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! If you have any questions or would like to schedule a meet and greet, don't hesitate to reach out. I can't wait to meet you both 🐶❤️ Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine because I have my own Mini Bernedoodle, Finnley! My schedule naturally revolves around walks, feeding times, playtime, enrichment, and making sure he gets plenty of attention throughout the day. When caring for your pet, I make it a priority to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. Whether that means sticking to a specific feeding schedule, providing regular potty breaks, going on walks, or simply spending quality time together, I'll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I carefully plan my schedule around the pets I'm caring for and always make their safety, comfort, and well-being my top priority. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Your pet's safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I believe the best care starts with getting to know each pet as an individual, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, favorite activities, and any special instructions you provide. My goal is to make their time with me feel as familiar and stress-free as possible. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll follow their normal routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I use positive reinforcement, patience, and gentle handling to help pets feel comfortable and build trust. I treat every home with the same respect and care that I would my own, keeping everything clean, secure, and just as you left it. I also know how important communication is, so you can expect regular photo and video updates throughout your pet's stay, along with prompt responses if you have any questions or would like to check in. Whenever possible, I like to schedule a complimentary meet and greet before a first booking. It's a great opportunity for us to get to know each other, discuss your pet's routine and needs, and make sure everyone feels comfortable before their stay. My goal is for you to return home to a happy, relaxed pet and to feel completely confident that they were cared for like family.
“Brittany started doing drop in visits for me today. She was fantastic. My dogs are very barky but she seemed to handle it very well and got them very calm to go out and do their business. Everything was perfect. Thank you !”
“Sammi did a great job with taking care of our two cats. She was very communicative and gave lots of little notes each day. I felt at ease knowing that she was there. I definitely recommend her as a sitter!”


About: I have been taking care of animals most of my life! I have my own dog her name is Revvy and she is my whole entire world! I also have experience with pigs, chickens, fish, and so much more! I have lots of love to give to all kinds of animals. I just want to be able to care for all furry kinds of friends and give them the love and attention they deserve. I work at a doggy day care and boarding facility but always make time for my dog, we always are out early in the morning to tire her out so she isn’t missing me too much when I am at work! Then we go out after work. I am mostly available early mornings and possibly late evenings. I will treat them as my own, give them lots of love and attention. I will protect them and provide them with everything they need. I just hope that they will end up loving me as much as they would be loved by me.
“Stephanie was wonderful when it came to taking care of our 2 cats when we were away - she was kind and detail oriented. We'll definitely rebook Stephanie in the future.”

About: Hi! My family has always had dogs for as long as I can remember. From puppies madness to senior sunsets, I’ve loved every stage that comes with having pets. During summers I’ve provided in house care for neighbors pets allowing them a “vacation” from staying home all day. I would be more than happy to get to know your pet as well as yourself ! I am currently a graduate students at UD only taking classes 2 days a week. I am quite flexible with hours and more than happy to include daily walks and visits into my routine! Having had pets myself, I pride myself for caring for others as if they are my own. I am willing to do whatever I can to ensure a comfortable experience for both pets and owners!

About: Growing up I have had 4 dogs and 6 cats total. Currently I have 2 cats of my own and I babysit my parents 2 dogs and 2 cats. They onboard at my house whenever they need too. I also take care of my neighbors cat regularly when they travel abroad. I am available to do home visits every day before 830am after 5pm during the week. Weekends I am fully available. I am a full time Registered Nurse. I take care of people full time and would love to help take care of your mini family member part time :) I’m currently working full time 8:30-5pm as a Registered Nurse. I go home for lunch from 12:30-1:30. I am home all weekend long. I am available to do home visits before 830 am and after 5pm on week days and fully available on the weekend:) I have a fully fenced in yard for your dogs to run around in. I have a large pet bed for inside as well as a large crate if needed! If I am visiting your home for pet care I encourage a camera to be there to ensure you are comfortable with me being in your home. I would only enter allowed rooms and make sure your fur baby is doo g great and in pristine health.
“Felix took great care of my cat while I was away! He was super reliable, had great communication, and sent plenty of pictures, which gave me peace of mind. My cat seemed happy and well cared for when I got back. Would definitely book with Felix again!”

I can’t tell you how reassuring it is to go to work knowing Rafaela will be stopping by to check on Blu! She has been absolutely amazing from the start. She’s incredibly flexible, reliable, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. The fact that she’s also a dog trainer is such a bonus because she truly understands dogs and their needs. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing Blu is in such good hands. And most importantly, Blu absolutely LOVES her! You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. I’m so grateful we found her and couldn’t recommend her enough!

Georgette is the BEST! She took great care of my bunny and sent me lots of pictures of him playing with her. She was super responsive and even came over to meet Theo before booking. On top of this, I came home from my trip and my bunny’s pen was so clean! She went above and beyond on everything!! You can tell she truly cares about animals. Will definitely be using her again in the future! Thank you Georgette! 💗🐰😊

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Old Bridge choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. 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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
