“As a first time user of Rover I can’t express how happy I am with Shanette. She sent lovely pictures and videos. Asked questions if needed. She was very helpful to me and my family.”
About: A bit about me—I enjoy staying active and love spending time outdoors, so long walks are something both I and your pup will enjoy! Whether your dog loves exploring the neighborhood or just needs a quick potty break and some playtime, I’m happy to tailor each visit to their needs. I’m a lifelong animal lover and have had both dogs and cats for over 25 years. I’ve cared for pets of a variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I currently have a cat on a prescription diet, so I’m comfortable following detailed feeding instructions and understand that every pet has their own unique routine. I know our pets are family, and trusting someone else to care for them can be stressful. That’s why I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and lots of love and attention. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your furry family member is in caring and reliable hands. I work remotely full-time, which gives me flexibility for morning, lunchtime, evening, and weekend visits. I keep my availability up to date and will always do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, feeding, medication, or simply some company while you’re away, I’ll provide dependable, attentive care. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, respect your home, and maintain your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages after every visit so you can have peace of mind.
About: Passionate animal enthusiast with 12 years of veterinary experience, beginning in doggy daycare and advancing to veterinary care. I offer safe, compassionate, and dependable pet services. I typically work 40-hour weeks, but I always have plenty of days available to spend time with any pet in need. I really cherish the love of a furry friend! My Shih Tzu has always received compliments on her friendly behavior and obedience training. She's allowed to roam freely in the home b/c there are no perishable items accessible to her. It’s important to ensure that all fur babies are respected and their needs are met.
“Dante did a wonderful job taking care of our babies last minute for us! He was very flexible as we did not know exactly what our travel plans would look like and was very accommodating which was so helpful for us as we were traveling with two young kids and we did not know how that was going to go. One less stress was our pups being cared for. When we got home our fur babies were relaxed, happy and showed zero signs of any stress. From their happy tails and fun pictures we received during his visit, we can tell they enjoyed Dante coming to check on them while we were away! Thank you so much for your help over the weekend !!”
“Sofia has been terrific as our drop-in sitter, coming to our house to hang with our dogs while we are at work or running errands. Always reliable and quick to respond and the dogs have a blast and jump for joy when she visits!”
“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!”
“This was our second time booking Taylor, and we will definitely use her again in the future! She is very responsible and follows all the instructions to the letter. We love her updates and pictures, too!”
“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.”
“Ashley has been great! She is very reliable and quite a life saver on some last minute requests. My Gracie just loves her and Ashley takes special time with her going above and beyond. 5 stars !!”
“This is the first time I use Rover and it was a great experience. Ellen was very professional and very loving towards my two cats. I will be reaching out to her next time I go out of town because I had full peace of mind while I was away knowing that she would be timely with her visits and check after my cats.”
“McKenna did a wonderful job caring for my cats while I was on vacation. It did my heart good to see the daily check-ins and pictures of my cats enjoying her company. I will definitely choose McKenna going forward.”

Justice did an amazing job taking care of our two cats while we were away! She gave us complete peace of mind by keeping us updated with messages and photos, and it was clear our cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We came home to two relaxed cats and everything exactly as we left it. We really appreciated her reliability, communication, and attention to detail. We'd absolutely book with Justice again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat 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.

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 Rahway 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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rahway. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
