About: I grew up in a neighborhood that had many dogs, and I would always go over to my neighbors’ houses to play with and take care of their fur babies. I currently have a happy 4 year old schnoodle who goes on walks every day and loves to play fetch. Account is run by Jennie! We are available for day and/or night boarding. I work from home three times a week (schedule is flexible, and my mom stays home on the weekends, so your fur baby will receive around the clock care. 😊 We can take the dog on multiple walks a day and we have a 13 pound friendly and happy Schnoodle to keep your dog entertained
“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. ❤”
“Larry took care of our cat while we are away for a vacation and we’re extremely happy with his care and visits! He isincredibly professional, kept all of his words and very communicative. Our cat enjoyed his time together with Larry. We will definitely rebook his service in the future.”

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!
“Mya was truly a blessing and the perfect kitty sitter! She was extremely attentive and loving to my two little spoiled cats. She was always on time and spent a lot of quality time with them. They were instantly in love with and felt super comfortable with her. I was away for work at my new job and wanted to fully committed without worrying. She sent many cute pictures and just went above and beyond. Hire her! But not when I need her 😅 (jk) you won’t regret it. ♥️”
About: Dear parent(s), I thank you for considering me to look after your puppy. In the following short paragraphs you will read a little bit about me and my love for nature. SERVICE: I cater to those parents who need either a "once in a while" (but can be frequent) and/or a "last minute" sitting/walking care. I update my Rover availability based on my regular job's schedule to date to provide you a better service. ME: My love and passion for puppies began at a very young age. Growing up, I was blessed with having at least one dog in the household. During my high school years, I worked at a parrot shop located in Edgewater. There, I cared for baby parrots by handfeeding them their formula, which I prepared myself. I also kept a health chart on many baby parrots. Adults parrots were also present and cared for. My love and respect for animals has only increased through the years. Life has us all working so much that it takes us away from what we would rather do, spend time with our pets. Your dog will be cared for and looked after when you need to attend other matters. I have cared for dogs in the past, small and large (Saint Bernard the largest). I cannot pet sit in my home, but I can come to yours, though most of the time I will be out with him/her. So next time your puppy needs love and care when you need to be elsewhere, book me. I will make sure to fill that void your absence will leave, so the time he/she misses you will be less. Though I love dogs very much, I can be firm when needed. If there are any special requirements, please let me know. A. If your dog is shy, I will make sure he/she is not overwhelmed by other dogs or even humans. B. If he/she is hyper, to avoid kids being frightened. C. Do you prefer that your dog does not visit dog parks, or at least when they are not that busy? etc. I am currently a Real Estate Agent. My main working days are the weekends for open houses. This provides me with the freedom to care for your pet during the week, which is when most doggies are home-alone, but not anymore if I have a say in the matter. Building regulations and lack of space have prevented me from such joy. While I cannot pet sit at my home, I can take your dog outdoors. I try and stay physically active, so your dog will be walking and playing.
“Alexa took amazing care of my cat! She was incredibly detailed, thoughtful, and went above and beyond with updates and photos. I could tell my cat was happy and well-loved while I was away. Highly recommended!”
“My dear Adriana. It was a pleasure to count with your services to take care of Scar and Nena. Adriana not only treated my dogs with love but also took care of my home and left it neat and tidy. Looking forward to work with you again since I saw how much love and dedication you put towards our pets.”
“Arina was great with my dogs! She was able all three of them and would highly recommend her for anyone worried about getting a sitter for multiple animals!”
“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.”

“Alyssa was amazing with my cat. She spent good time playing with him, keeping him company and sharing videos and pics with me. It was my first time having a cat-sitter and she made me feel content, knowing my cat was well cared for. I absolutely recommend Alyssa and will request her again in the future!”

I have a nice fenced in yard and a beautiful park across the street. I live in a quiet neighborhood with nice streets for walks. There is also a dog park close by.
“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!”

She was an excellent cat sitter and very reliable throughout my time away. She did not miss a single visit, arrived on time, and carefully followed all my instructions. She also sent me daily updates with messages and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. It is clear that she genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. I would gladly book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
Jonathan was absolutely amazing with my fur babies and even my family. He went out his way to get some cans for them around the last few days and stayed in contact with me the whole time to keep me updated. He even left a good impression on our abuelita by chatting with her when they crossed paths. Just absolutely great, please do not hesitate to have Jonathan watch your babies. 💘
Maribel is a reliable and caring person sitter. Pickles seemed completely at ease and relaxed when I came back from my three days away. The kitchen was clean, dishes done, recycling, and garbage in its place. Maribel was very communicative, easy to reach and responsive.
Kaosi was amazing and we absolutely recommend her and plan to book again. Sebastian loved her and she was very attentive to his needs and updating my family on how he was doing each day. We felt comfortable with her and have no complaints, she followed all of our instructions and was very pleasant during the meet and greet. Book Kaosi!
First time Lindsay babysat my two fur babies. She was a great communicator in all ways - and Mingus and Jacques agreed based on all the photos sitting on her lap and generally looking very chill and happy. Apartment was spotless upon returning home. Lindsay is a mature and trustworthy catsitter and I highly recommend her!
Marlene was absolutely amazing, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! She took such wonderful care of my two cats while we were away, and I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such loving hands. She followed every instruction perfectly, made sure my boys were well-fed, and, most importantly, gave them so much love, attention, and affection. She even stayed overnight one of the nights to ensure my senior cat, Mumu, received his medication on time, which meant so much to me. Caring for a pet with medical needs requires patience and dedication, and she handled everything flawlessly. It’s clear that Marlene genuinely loves animals and treats them like they’re her own. She went above and beyond, and I came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy, compassionate, reliable, and attentive, Marlene is the person to call. I would trust her with my boys again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Marlene, for taking such incredible care of Mumu and Speedy!

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 Palisades Park 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.

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.
