About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have always had a deep love and connection with them. While I don’t currently own a dog, I regularly care for my cousin’s dog here in New Jersey — walking, feeding, and keeping him company. I’m attentive, responsible, and genuinely passionate about animals. Your furry friend will feel right at home with me! I currently work as a secretary from 12pm to 5pm on weekdays, so I’m available for dog walking and drop-in visits in the mornings before noon and after 5pm on weekdays. I have more flexibility on weekends and can accommodate house sitting when needed! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. Since I offer walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I’m punctual, communicative, and will send regular photo updates throughout every visit so you always know your pup is happy and safe!
“Stephanie takes really good care of the puppy and is respectful of the space. She consistently shares messages about the time she spent with the puppy and is a quick responder. Stephanie is amazing!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for practically all of my life. My family and friends would ask me to take care of or walk their pets and I’d always be there when they needed. I’m also used to taking care of puppies and kitties and enjoyed it no matter how tiring it may have been. My schedule right now is completely free other than going to school and so I’ll always have time to be able to walk a dog or take care of them. In my clients home if I’m pet sitting I’ll make sure I ask where their food is, where I take their water from and if there’s anything in their house that is specifically for their pet and remember that spot for future uses.
“This was our first time working with Valerie. She was responsive in the up-front process, nice, and asked good questions about our cat. We were gone for a week and twice a day she was on time and spent good time with him, sharing a couple of photos that focused on the main thing we asked her to do with him so we knew he was being well cared for. Overall, she was reliable, responsive, and pleasant to work with.”
“10/10 rating for Dana. She is prompt and attentive. I could tell by looking at her various photos on her profile, that she was special, and the one that would be most fitting to care for my dog Trey. Great communication skills. Very responsive, responsible, passionate and dedicated to making Trey her priority, and treated him as if he were her own. Highly recommended! Will be booking her again in the near future.”
“Sabina looked in after my baby Cassius and took great care of him! It was a last minute booking and she was more than accommodating with such short notice. She was attentive to his needs and did everything we asked of her! We’ll definitely book with her again!”
About: As a pet parent for most of my life, I’m passionate about all different animals. While I am a self-proclaimed dog person, I love all pets and consider them family. Because of this, I believe in treating your pets as if they were my own! I have owned dogs for most of my life and have extensive experience in dog care, such as walking, feeding, bathing, and playing. I have helped family members and friends with different services whenever needed, and truly have a passion for spending time with animals. I’m comfortable with dogs of any size, and believe every dog deserves kindness regardless of breed. I have taken care of cats before and am also very comfortable with them! I also have my own vehicle, meaning I can transport your pet to any location as needed. I’m comfortable standing, walking, and playing for long amounts of time, as some pets require more energy and attention than others. I’m also very detail-orientated and will follow any instructions as listed by the client, such as for feeding and bathing. I truly enjoy spending time with pets and take pride in carefully caring for them ❤️. My schedule is very flexible, meaning I have time for different pet services throughout the week. I am available most days, and am a stickler for scheduling and being punctual, meaning you never have to worry about mix-ups or last-minute cancellations. My calendar is always freshly updated so that you may know if I’m ever unavailable! I can take care of any pet in a client’s home provided that the client has necessary items, such as food, toys, and a bed/crate. I’ve taken care of pets with both strict and flexible routines, and am comfortable following a schedule or being spontaneous and taking care of a let’s needs as they arise. I’m also comfortable with administering oral medication, as I have experience doing this with my own dog.
About: I have grown up with animals my whole life and have always been an animal lover. I currently have a very energetic five year old catahoula mix. I understand the love and care that goes into having a pet. Rocco and I would love to meet your dog and have fun! I work from home and do not work many hours during summer. I have time during the day to take the dogs out to the dog park, or my backyard or other adventures. I have a fenced in yard and Rocco is a wonderful host :) inside the house they are allowed on couches/beds and have constant access to water. I will take care of your dog like they are my own.
About: The highlight of my day is when a doggie greets me; Me?! Of All humans ?! Because I’ve worked in the healthcare field for many years and love taking care of the elderly, doggies included, and have been the chosen doggie sitter amongst my family, friends, neighbors & peers since I was about 15. I’d say I’m a fan ;)! In continuous pursuit of work-health-life balance which allows for me to be available and flexible with my schedules because I work remotely . My hope is that I can fill my world with more “everything” #Doggies! I am open to Dog/ House - sit , crate, walk, and play with your doggie, spoil them even, as you prefer or request. I take lots of online “dog/ pet friendly classes to learn and grow about dogs, behaviors, personalities and psychology. I also take much pride and passion in photographing and visually-story-telling a dog’s life. Safety and love are my absolute priorities, for their sake and ours. Love, Aunt Delilah ;)
“Alec was great! Super reliable and friendly. He took Teddy for a nice walk and spent time playing with him in my backyard. Teddy got tired and even took a nap for Alec. Highly recommend.”
“Amy is the most thorough, trustworthy, and reliable pet sitter I could imagine! I've never used Rover before and have a 7 month old kitten- Amy was incredible this last week for us, even through new years eve and new years day. She was so considerate and came before booking twice to meet peanut, once when we first booked and again a few weeks later before we left for our trip. She took pictures every day and sent it to us, which made my day. In the pictures I can tell my cat loves her and she came out when shes usually afraid of people. I'm so glad we found Amy and I cannot recommend her enough. ❤”
“My first time booking with a sitter for my two cats while taking a week long vacation. Ambroja went above and beyond to accommodate my girls and kept me updated every step of the way. So very thankful for her. Super professional, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again.”
“I was nervous leaving my cat alone for an extended period of time but Selina took excellent care of my girl and helped me out with some things around the apartment as well. She is a pet smart person who knows animals. 10/10 would rebook.”
About: 🌟PROMO: Special rate celebrating the end of the school year! $19 for 30-minute walk. Book your visits and walks now! 🐶😺 What sets me apart is my long-term, hands-on experience with dogs. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12 years old and have volunteered at animal shelters working with rescue dogs, which helped me learn how to read behavior and respond calmly. I’m also a flight volunteer, helping dogs travel safely and with minimal stress. Friends consistently trust me as their go-to sitter when they travel. I’m patient, reliable, and focused on maintaining routines so dogs feel safe and comfortable. I work part-time and freelance from home, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and spend plenty of time with pets. I’m able to adjust my day around feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship, and I prioritize my availability during confirmed bookings. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions carefully and maintain pets’ routines to help them feel secure. I’m attentive to behavior, appetite, and energy level changes, and I address any concerns promptly.

About: Although I am new to Rover, I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! Growing up I’ve had all sorts of pets. From dogs to hamsters to fish to birds and bunnies. I’ve had them all so I know how precious pets can be. They’re like a member of the family and a best friend all in one! Your precious pets are good hands with me. I have experience with dogs of all ages from puppies to elderly dogs I can do anything from walking them to administering medication. I am also easily adaptable and can adapt to your dogs schedule or any of their needs. My dog Belle absolutely loves meeting new friends so I would love to bring your dog around to meet mine if they are both comfortable with one another. I am also open to taking your dog to a nearby dog park so they can interact with other dogs. I currently have a full time job so I can come by before or after work and on the weekends to walk and play with your dog. I do have a full-time job and am looking to spend some time with your pets part-time so I will need to work around my job schedule. I have a dog at home whom I feed, walk, and cuddle with. She is super sweet and very playful. She loves to make new friends.
“Rachel was amazing! She gave very detailed Rover card updates, was super responsive, and went above and beyond in cleaning and interacting with my cat. Will definitely rebook :)”
“We have booked Jalisa several times and she has always been wonderful. She is great with our pack of pups (we've never left her with less than 2 and sometimes as many as 4 dogs) and reliably keeps in touch with great pictures. I recommend Jalisa highly.”
Palisades Park dog parents share their Rover experiences
Wen was just amazing to work with during my family vacation! It was the first long vacation we’ve ever had because we worried about our fur babies. But after met Wen before booking, she was knowledgeable and professional for dog and cat. She send us lot of pictures and comments if needed and always arrived the time we were discussed. We will definitely ask her later to care our fur family! Thank you so much for your work and care. 🙏
Emily was absolutely wonderful with Brady! She was reliable, caring, and truly went above and beyond while watching him. She provided thoughtful updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Brady was happy, comfortable, and genuinely well cared for the entire time. Knowing he was treated with so much love and attention made all the difference. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and professional pet sitter.
Tatiana goes above and beyond and is by far the best pet sitter/walker Penny has ever had. She is reliable, communicative, responsible, patient, and so kind. She takes Penny for long and scenic walks, plays fetch with her, and takes time to sit with her and give her plenty of pets and treats. I would recommend her to anyone!
Mariah was nothing but amazing with my 2 dogs! I felt so comfortable leaving her to care for them as I was on vacation. She’s great at communicating and sends updates with cute pictures of my dogs. I would highly recommend Mariah and will be using her in the future.
Meredith was amazing with my two dogs, Nico and Bandit! She went above and beyond by doing a meet and greet ahead of time and kept me updated with lots of videos and messages, which really helped ease my anxiety while I was working long shifts. My dogs can be a bit of a handful, and she handled them with so much care and patience. She even took the time to clean up a couple of accidents, which I really appreciated. I came home to happy, well-cared-for pups. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her!
Kathryn is just incredible! She is thorough and knowledgeable. She is very sweet and loving with my baby girl, and my dog took to her immediately. She is always met with tail wags and wiggles. Kathryn is the best person to look after your fur baby, she treats my girl with so much love and kindness!
This is our first time using Rover and we felt so lucky that we found Karen. Karen takes care of our pets not only with full of experience and patience, but also with love and sentiment. She’s always so considerate, thoughtful and responsive and she gets along with both of our pets so well just after a couple of visits. We trust her 100% with our pets and will definitely rebook with her next time we are out of town. I highly recommend Karen.
Rachel is an amazing sitter, she braved the elements through this snowstorm to take care of Petey and I couldn’t be more grateful. She also takes the initiative to determine what Petey needs and will walk him more than once if necessary. She lets me know that she cleaned Petey’s bowls before feeding and giving him fresh water, things that are important to me, I feel better knowing that someone is giving him the same care I would. I’m thankful to have Rachel as a person I can contact when I need help with Petey.
Philsung went above and beyond to take care of Petey. During this snowstorm, he walked the rest of the way to my apartment when his car got stuck. When you’re not able to be there with your dog, it’s a terrible feeling, I was so worried Philsung would not be able to make it there but he did. That’s reliability and dedication and a true love for animals. He is an excellent sitter.
Kate is incredibly reliable and takes excellent care of our dog, Frankie. She is always on time, keeps us informed, leaves detailed notes about the visit, and is very gentle and patient with Frankie (who is an anxious dog). We always feel confident entrusting Frankie with Kate.
