About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs since I was little, so animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently have a loving 7-year-old Pit Bull, and being a pet parent has taught me so much about patience, responsibility, and giving pets the love and attention they deserve. I absolutely love animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that means going for walks, playing, cuddling, or simply keeping them company. My family and friends have always trusted me to care for their pets when they’re out of town, busy, or just need an extra hand. I’ve cared for dogs and cats with different personalities and needs, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I want every animal in my care to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and spoiled while their humans are away! My work schedule gives me the flexibility to incorporate pet sitting into my daily and weekly routine. I work throughout New Jersey, so I’m often able to adjust my schedule and make time to care for your pets when they need me. Whether it’s stopping by for a visit, feeding, playtime, or giving them some extra love and attention, I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and needs. My goal is to provide reliable, consistent care while making sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away! When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. For dog walks, I’ll make sure your pup gets a safe, enjoyable walk with plenty of time to sniff, explore, and get some energy out. For check-ins, I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, fresh water, playtime, bathroom breaks, and any other needs your pet may have. I’ll also give them plenty of attention and affection so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.

About: I come from a long line of dog lovers! I’ve been around dogs my whole life, and it’s been a privilege to continue spending my days with my favorite animal. I’ve walked and dogsat for neighbors and family friends since I graduated college in 2021. I’ve also worked at Wonder Dog Studio in Summit, NJ, where I was a Daycare Manager and Driver. So, if your pup loves the car, I’d be happy to take them for a drive! My schedule is very flexible for day time walks and care. I’m also a Stand Up Comedian, whose shows are normally at night, either in NJ or NYC. I’ll always make sure your pup is taken care of before I head out, and have a network of other dog sitters to help me out if needed. I always make sure the pets in my care never feel lonely! I’ll sit on the couch with them while I work, read a book, or watch TV. While staying in someone’s home, I make sure that doors are locked before I head out, as well as leave the TV or music on for anxious pets. Finally, I always make sure to send the owner pictures of their pet at least twice a day!
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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rahway
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.

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.

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.
