About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life and have always had a passion for caring for animals. I currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I also help care for my elderly dog with special needs, giving me experience with senior pets who require extra patience, attention, and gentle care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply lots of cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m currently a student who is mostly remote. I have a very open summer schedule thanks to my summer break. I’m available weekdays and weekends. Or message me if you are in a pinch and I can try and accommodate you! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to maintain your pet’s routine, so I’ll follow your instructions closely to help them feel relaxed and at home. Whether that includes daily walks, feeding on a specific schedule, administering medications, bathing, playtime, or simply spending quality time together, I’ll make sure they receive the attentive care they deserve.
“Margaret took extended care of my fur-babies while I was away. She made me feel at ease leaving them in her capable hands. Margaret loves your animal like you do and does a terrific job!”
About: I have grown up with dogs and now have one of my own. I have had her since a puppy so I understand the phases that animals may go through. I treat my furbaby like family and plan to do the same for yours. I am a full-time nurse (3 days a week) but plan to spend my four days off helping others with their pet's needs. I am available for early mornings through later night hours. I am open to caring for any dog/cat breed. I understand the importance of patience with animals and am always able to win over a dog's heart.
“Jessenia did a great job and was great about updating us when she was checking in our dog. It was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience. Thank you Jessenia for making us feel so comfortable!”
“Ashley is an awesome pet sitter! We left our kitty (who has never been left alone before) in our home for 5 days. We felt apprehensive leaving Koori but Ashley was excellent! She was consistent, attentive to all of our cat’s needs and very knowledgeable. She also took time to try and befriend our shy cat. We highly recommend this sweet pet sitter!”
“We have rebooked Hannah several times to watch our cat, Rocco. She always does a great job! Thorough report and pictures provided at the end of her visit. She’s a great choice for a pet sitter!”
About: Not only have I had animals my whole life-this includes dogs, cats, rats, you name it! I’ve also been in the veterinary care field for over 2 years and I am currently enrolled and studying to be a Veterinary Technician. I have my own puppy Willow, who I care for with my partner. I love animals of all shapes and sizes, and have cared for my fair share of animals in all stages of their life. When your pet is with me, they’re in good hands. Currently I work part time at an animal hospital and go to school full time so I am available on the weekends Saturdays and Sundays consistently. When I am within your home, I will respect not only your boundaries but your pet’s too! I am a full supporter of fear free environments and continually educate myself on the best ways to make your pet feel comfortable and safe.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and grew up actively involved in their daily care, from feeding and walking to helping with training and routines. This lifelong experience has given me a strong understanding of dog behavior, body language, and individual needs. In addition to caring for my own dog, I’ve also helped care for dogs of various sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with energetic pups, as well as dogs who need a calmer, more patient approach. I prioritize safety, consistency, and communication, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands. Pet care is already built into my daily routine since I’m home throughout the day and care for my own dog. I maintain a consistent schedule with outings every 4 hours, along with regular feeding, walks, and playtime. Because I’m home most of the day, dogs receive plenty of attention and are rarely left alone for long periods. I’m also flexible and can adjust routines to meet each dog’s specific needs, whether that’s more frequent breaks, extra exercise, or a slower pace. I live in an apartment complex with two dog parks and plenty of space for walks. I treat every dog like my own and take the time to quickly learn their routine and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

Just give me a time and place and I’ll be there. I’m pretty much free most of the time so just hit me up! I make sure you give me a set schedule on what time you want them fed, walked etc. I make sure to follow your instructions thoroughly and give them medication or specialized meals if that’s what you give them.
About: I grew up in the countryside so i have always been around many animals since my childhood years. I've taken care of dogs and cats of many breeds , I grew up in DR so I had a dog whom gave birth 3 times within the same year and I delivered 9 pups each time. I took care and nurtured all of the pups prior to finding them a new home. I also always took care of two dogs my godfathers sisters had whenever she would travel to Florida they would stay with me. I do it because I love animals and rather make sure their in good care than looked at by someone who’s careless.

However on these days Between 6pm-10pm I can be available. If needed I can also stay the night , Feeding will be done at 5:45am with a quick potty break prior to me leaving at 6:30am.

This is a safe space we also have a camera outside monitoring everything. At a clients home I always follow their instructions, usually most clients would leave a small instruction pamphlet for me which I always follow.

Jessenia - kept us updated on everything our sweet furboy did. She even waited for him to finish up his breakfast. Pictures made my heart feel at ease as we were away. If you’re looking for peace of mind regarding your fur baby care don’t hesitate to have Jessenia do the job!
Kristie was excellent ! We met for the first time when she came to the house to meet the pups. All of them LOVED her, even our shy guy immediately took to her. She was kind, easy to talk to and great with all of our dogs. We will absolutely hire Kristie again if she will have us ! Thank you Kristie !
Clarissa was absolutely amazing! We were very hesitant at first since we had never used this type of service before, but with our senior dog, we decided to give it a try—and we are so glad we did. Clarissa was incredibly patient and gentle with our blind and deaf senior dog, as well as with our cats. She went above and beyond what we expected, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about our pets and their well-being. She made us feel completely comfortable and gave us peace of mind knowing our babies were in such caring hands. I would highly recommend Clarissa to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets. She will absolutely be the only person we trust with our babies from now on!
Thank you Emily for taking such great care of Nova! Being the first time I needed someone to check in on him I was for sure nervous, but Emily was amazing and helped me feel very at ease. I loved the pictures she sent me to keep me updated. And she even helped clean a mess Nova had left in my kitchen. I got to enjoy the time away with my daughter knowing he was in good care. I will definitely use her services again, amd recommend her to others as well!!! Super super sweet girl.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Phillipsburg 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.
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 Phillipsburg 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Phillipsburg with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
