About: I’m an experienced dog owner and proud Belgian Malinois mom to my 3-year-old pup. I’ve personally raised and taught her, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and keeping dogs mentally stimulated. I’m comfortable with energetic, playful, and strong-willed dogs and always take the time to learn each pet’s personality and routine. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and comfortable while they’re in my care. Pet care fits very easily into my weekly routine. I’m fully available on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, giving me plenty of time to provide attentive care, walks, playtime, and companionship. On the other days, I have a part-time schedule, so I still have flexibility to accommodate pet-care needs depending on the time. I’m happy to work with each pet’s routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and trust when caring for pets. I keep a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment and make sure pets have a safe space to relax, play, and feel comfortable. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any house rules. I’m also attentive to each pet’s behavior and energy level so I can provide the right amount of exercise, playtime, and supervision. Most importantly, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same care I would want for my own dog.
About: My dog is my whole heart, so I treat every pet with the same love, patience, attention, and care that I give my own. I am comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, bathing, following routines, and giving lots of affection. I also understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine as a dog mom. I am available for pet care around my work schedule, including select mornings, evenings, and weekends. I make sure every pet in my care receives dedicated time for walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention. I am happy to discuss your pet's normal routine beforehand so I can provide care that fits their needs. Your pet's safety and comfort will always be my priority. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet parents, including feeding schedules, walking routines, crate preferences, and any special care needs. I keep pets supervised, secure on walks, and comfortable in their environment. I also believe communication is important, so I am happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your fur baby is safe and receiving lots of love.

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!

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!

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.

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
