About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 11 years old, I thrive off meeting new people and animals. I love the outdoors and sometimes a good challenge. I've had dogs from puppies to seniors under my care. With a large career background in childcare as well, I have a lot of patience and love to give. I am currently free for the summer, so I will have a wide availability for your pups and animals. I am willing to work weekdays and weekends. I don't have a preference for am or pm. Just excited to get started. When in a client's home, I create and maintain a safe environment for all pets by establishing trust early on, sitting on the floor and letting the animal come to me. Then the fun starts, alongside with safety always. I provide lots of love and cuddles and encouragement (and treats in accordance with the pet parents of course). After all the requested tasks are done, and the walk is complete, I love to cuddle with them and foster that trust some more. No matter which service you prefer, my priority is always to meet the animal where they are, and build the relationship up from there.
“Elaine is truly an angel. She was heaven sent. Our elderly Chihuahua is difficult and she was able to take care of him and made it seem effortless. She even had to sing to him to get him to get out of his bed!!! She sent pictures and communicated in real time. We are very grateful for her and would give a 10 star review if that was an option. Thank you Elaine!”


About: Hi! My name is Milena and I’m a college student home for the summer looking to work while doing something I genuinely enjoy. I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for many different types of pets. I currently have a cat, dog, fish, snail, hamster, and a snake, so I’m very comfortable around animals with different personalities and needs. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, or just giving pets attention and company, I’m happy to help. I’m especially good with shy or nervous animals and I truly enjoy spending time with them. I’m currently home from college for the summer and taking phlebotomy classes from 10am–2pm on weekdays, so I’m especially available for early morning walks, drop-ins, feeding, and pet care before class. I’m also available most evenings and weekends. I enjoy starting my mornings with animals and making sure pets get attention, exercise, and care while their owners are busy or away. I always try to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for in their normal environment. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, medications, and each pet’s personality so they can feel relaxed while you’re away. Since I’ve cared for many different animals myself, including cats, dogs, reptiles, fish, and small pets, I understand that every animal has different needs and comfort levels. I’m patient, responsible, and will always treat your pets like my own.
About: I have taken care of dogs of many kinds. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and take care of their dogs. I recently retired so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am flexible and available to walk or board your furry friend. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your or my dogs and/or create separate space at the house.
“Bethany was wonderful! She made a point to meet our puppy and see the routine before her visits with him! She made me so comfortable about leaving him for the first time in her capable hands! Thank you!”

About: I have been taking care of puppies and older dogs for years! I grew up my whole life with dogs and I love them! They make the whole family happy , I’m dog walker too My priority is to make your dog comfortable and walk them as many times as they need if your dog require 7 walks per day I will give it I understand every dog needs I’m full time pet sitter and dog walker My house is fenced and it has a doggie door access, super accessible to all dogs. I love that because my guest dogs have all access to explore!

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for dogs. I've been a dog owner for most of my life, having cared for my family dog from ages 6 to 16 and now raising another dog since I was 18. This hands on experience has taught me how to understand dogs' unique personalities, routines, and needs at every stage of life. I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pet, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, or simply having a calm and caring companion, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'm reliable, attentive, and committed to keeping pet parents updated for complete peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for my own dog and understand the importance of consistency, exercise, and attention. I work Monday through Saturday until 12:00 PM, which allows me to dedicate my afternoons, evenings, and Sundays to pet care. My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding routines, and quality one-on-one attention. I make caring for pets a priority and ensure they receive the same level of care, affection, and reliability that I give my own dog every day. I tailor my care to each pet's individual needs and routine. In a client's home, I make sure pets stay comfortable by maintaining their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I also provide plenty of attention, affection, and companionship so they feel secure while their family is away. When caring for pets, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and communication. I pay close attention to their behavior, make sure they have fresh water, exercise, and plenty of love, and I keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. My goal is to make every pet feel happy, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own.
About: My ability to bond with pets. I’ve always appreciated animals and understood their needs. I’m respectful and loving to them, curating a strong friendship of trust! I currently am a student and work part-time at my University! I have extra time on my hands during the rest of the week so being able to make some extra money and hang out with animals is the perfect match! I will be sure to take any necessary safety precautions: leashing when walking on street, closing doors, and blocking off hallways if needed. And if noted that the animal tends to run away or scare easily, I will be sure to be extra responsible.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, and have a huge love for animals! We currently have a female dog of our own, who is great with children and other dogs. We have a 6ft fenced in yard, that provides plenty of space for the pups to run around! In the summer, I have umbrellas, as well as a small dog pool for the dogs to cool down in. I am a stay at home mom, who has a flexible schedule! If I can take all the dogs, I would! I am able to help with any ages, puppies to senior, as well as dogs who need medications. I do also have 2 young children who love dogs as well! I do allow dogs on our couch and bed if that’s how they sleep. How you care for your fur baby, is how I will apply the same in my own home! I have a crate if it’s needed for puppies, which I strongly encourage to use for training/house breaking purposes. There are times I leave the house to run errands, however; I will only do so if the dogs get along. I look forward to meeting you and your pup(s), and give them the loving care they need while you’re away! I am a stay at home mom, so I’m very flexible and available for drop in visits, or dog walking as well if needed on any given day! We have a 6 foot tall fenced in yard with plenty of room for the dogs to run around. Whatever the schedule is for your dog, is what I try to do while they’re here staying with us!

About: I have been a dog lover for all my life and realize they require lots of love and attention each day. I will treat your dog as if he/she were my own so you never have to worry while you're away. If your dog is more energetic and prefers running instead of walks, then I will certainly do that. Or, if your dog needs to go at a slower pace, I can do that too. I have experience with puppies all the way up to senior dogs and can administer pills and/or oral supplements. My availability is very flexible and I will try to make time even if it is short notice. I am very responsible so you can definitely count on me to keep your furry friend happy and safe when you're unable to be there with them. If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to send a message or give me a call. Thank you!

About: A dog has no use for fancy cars, big homes, or designer clothes. A water logged stick will do just fine. A dog doesnt care if you're rich or poor, clever or dull, smart or dumb. give him your heart and he'll give you his. How many people can you say that about? How many people can make you feel rare and pure and special? How many people can make you feel extraordinary? At least one - ME! I have an extreme love for dogs. I will follow whatever rules you give me when it comes to caring for your furbaby because, like people, all of our animals have different personalities and needs. I love being outdoors and have experience in potty training, leash training, as well as training them to follow basic commands.

About: Have always been an animal lover! I now have the time and opportunity to care for other pets. Have summers off from teaching and would love the extra income. My home is very pet friendly. My chihuahua Zoey is sassy but tolerant. She has co-habitated with 2 Labs, a super frisky Pit-Bull and more than one “class pet hamsters”. I personally have a classic case of “empty nest syndrome” since my 3 daughters have moved out, and really look forward to caring for other people’s pets. I wish I had this service years ago when I was going down the shore with my small children. We would usually board our dog which was not always a pleasant experience. I would have loved Rover for its petsonalized care!

About: I have been around dogs my whole life I had a dog growing up name Tex I currently have a beagle so I know the need for long walks that in needed to give to your dog. I have taken care of my brother dogs while their are gone. I work part time at Wholefoods so my time is flexible because I pick up my hours and I can work around that to provide services for dog walking going to just check in on a dog. I will watch your dog with care and on walk. I will make sure to take breaks on our walk if needed. I will follow your directions to the highest standard when I am with your pup. If I see anything to be concern I will mention all the details. I look forward to taking your pup for fun sniffy walks.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rahway
This was our first time leaving our energetic puppy with a sitter, and Justice made it a breeze. She was incredibly communicative, responding to all of our messages quickly and sending the cutest picture updates. When we came home, our dog was happy, tired out from play, and clearly bonded with her. Highly recommend her services!

Taylor was absolutely wonderful with my dog! She watched him for two days and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She kept me updated with messages and photos, and it was clear that she treated him like he was her own. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I could tell he got plenty of love and attention. I would absolutely book with Taylor again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!

Nicolas (Cole) was great to communicate with. He gave detailed feedback on how our dogs were doing while we were home. He took the initiative to find our cat and made sure he got attention too ! Coke’s puts his heart in his work with the pets. We will gladly request to have him return.

Christine did a wonderful job with our 11 yr old dog, who took to her right away when they first met. She sent us photos, fed him each meal. We were impressed with her honesty when she came in to feed him but had to leave quickly, and she returned later at night to stay with him. We certainly recommend Christine. She took care of our dog and gave us a peace of mind. Thank you.

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 Rahway 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.

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 Rahway with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
