“Amy was phenomenal! Not only was she highly professional taking notes when first meeting our pup and asking great questions, but she was attentive and clearly very loving of our dog throughout her drop-ins! Amy was fantastic about updates throughout the day, tons of great photos, and even took Echo out on walks around the neighborhood. Her love for animals shines clear, and honestly is everything you'd want in a sitter. Amy will be our new regular sitter for a long time! Thank you for everything.”

“Marc was wonderful with our kitties! From the very first meet-and-greet, he was sweet, kind, professional, thoughtful, and respectful, which immediately made us feel comfortable leaving our cats in his care. During each visit, Marc went above and beyond to make sure our kitties were happy, cared for, and loved. He kept us consistently informed with updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that he truly cared about their well-being and took the time to make them feel safe and comfortable. We are so grateful for the care Marc provided and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring cat/dog sitter. Our kitties were in great hands!”

“Maryanne was absolutely wonderful with our very shy cat! She was able to coax him out of hiding and actually create a friend! He played with her, followed her around and purred! He has never done that with someone new. It meant so much to us to know that he was well taken care of and happy! I highly recommend her.”

About: My friends and family call me Tom Care-a-lot, Tom the Mom, and The Dog Whisperer. I am often told I am too nice, but sometimes kindness and patience can be what someone needs to be a good caregiver. I have worked at East Memphis Pet Hospital & Resort as a Daycare and Kennel worker, and occasionally perform Vet Tech duties such as administering medication, which has taught me a lot about caring for multiple dogs and adapting to each dogs' individual needs. I have also worked for GoDog West Nashville and Morris Animal Inn. To be responsible for another life sometimes means that you have to be flexible, I understand if something comes up last minute, it happens; I will be as flexible as you and your dogs' needs. Your dog will be in good-hearted, caring hands while you are doing what you need to do. Your dogs and their home will be safe, you can leave it to me. I will respond to booking requests with 12-24 hours if not immediately. If something doesn’t work in my schedule I will let you know ahead of time unless there is an emergency. I work Freelance from home (remote), so my hours are flexible. I have obligations with other people and clients but I will make any booking done through the app, if they are accepted and scheduled. Failure to contact about a booking before service will result in a cancellation and YOU will be charged a cancellation fee and will take all responsibility for your pet(s). I treat them with respect, I will not hit or discipline them physically, if you instruct me to do so I will decline and cancel the stay or appointment. I do not tolerate abuse or neglect. I will clean up if they have an accident and my motto is to “leave the house roughly in the same state you came/found it in”. I will use your amenities like washer/dryer/sink/shower/dishwasher if I am staying multiple days or overnight. I will do my best to clean up after myself but I cannot conform to all expectations of perfection. Make sure there are no illegal drugs or weapons in the residence (weapons must be away and sealed in a secure location, if any are in the residence) failure to comply with this will result in an immediate cancellation and it will be on YOU.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and ages. I currently have three dogs and a cat of my own, and I’ve been caring for my cat since I was 8 years old. I began dog sitting over 6 years ago and have provided reliable, loving care for everything from high-energy puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and support. The services I offer include overnight sitting in your home, drop-in visits throughout the day, and dog walking. I’ve volunteered with Bridgewater Animal Shelter and Tabby’s Place: A Cat Sanctuary, where I worked closely with animals of varying temperaments, including shy, anxious, and special-needs pets. I’m comfortable with puppies, kittens, elderly animals, multi-pet households, and maintaining routines that help pets feel safe and secure. I’m currently in school to become a mental health counselor and have studied animal-assisted therapy, which helps me read animal body language, reduce stress, and provide calm, attentive care. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority. I can guarantee that I will treat your pet as if they were my own—with patience, love, and respect. I’m currently working part-time so I have a lot of time to do drop ins/walks/etc. I also do not work nights ever so I am available to stay overnight whatever day of the week. MWF I work at a school from 8:30-3:00 and I have classes for my graduate school some days as well. However, the times of the classes would not interfere with my ability to stop by. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out! I have a fenced in yard that is pretty large. There is plenty of room for pets to run around and play. I also have three of my own dogs who are all animal-friendly and love to play! If needed though, they can be separated from your dog or cat because I have gates that can go up to separate them from the upstairs/living room. I also have lots of dog beds and toys and an extra large crate that can be used if needed. I am willing to adapt to whatever your pet needs and also have experience administering medication. Again, let me know if you have any specific questions!

About: I’ve cared and loved dogs of various backgrounds. In my experience, I’ve successfully integrated a reactive dog with others, while maintaining a loving environment. I’ll make sure your pet gets the enrichment they need to fulfill a life an animal deserves (love and fun) ! I’m currently working full time from Mon-Friday from 9-6PM and mostly free on weekends. But know that after work feeling of wanting to just hangout, focus on hobbies, or go out to eat. That’s where I come in! I’d be happy to help drop in and make sure your pet gets the love and proper care they need so that you can have time for yourselves! :) I’m open to many services of care, whether that’d be taking your beloved pet outside to receive the enrichment they need, OR will happily take care of your pup and take the time they need to train at home.

About: Hi! I have always had such a passion for caring and providing love for all animals! I have pet sit and walked numerous dogs for friends and Family. I'd be happy to send references if asked for or chat on the phone or even schedule a time to meet your adorable pet(s) before booking! I adopted my very own first pup about 3 years ago and he is the light of my life. I attended an Animal Science Polytechnic Program for two years and graduated. This allowed me to attain knowledge such as how to read and understand animal behavior, illnesses, administer medication and more. Caring for pets in a clients home is of the upmost importance to me. Any guidelines for caring for your pets will be followed and taken extremely seriously as I know our pets are our babies! I am attending Stockton University part- time this semester so my availability is very open! Every week day is open for me to be able to care for your pet(s) I know how extremely important it is to maintain the routine, special guidelines and anything else a pet or pets will require as every animal is different. I do not offer pet stays at my own home but I do offer pet sitting at the pets home!

About: I’m the biggest dog lover you’ll meet! I love puppies of all sizes and have had dogs my entire life. In the past couple years, I have watched dogs for 5+ families. I have also walked dogs for 10+ families. Feel free to ask me for references or message me any questions. I am currently in college and have open availability. Able to care for pets any day or time with enough notice! I am also open to last minute visits. I understand most families feel most comfortable with their pet remaining at home, and I am willing to commute to homes. I live in an apartment building in a spacious apartment with an easily accessible backyard, and I can care for pets from my home as well.

About: a dog owner myself and living in an area surrounded by owners who I’ve helped over the years to take care either walk, stay over night, or just a cuddle buddy, I’ve worked from puppies all the way to senior puppies I work full time but my hours vary each day so I know what days work better and will be able to help anyone whenever requests assistance for their loving furry friend my dog is trained off leash, but I don’t have a fenced backyard I love at a dead end so I have a lot of space to run around if need but a big area in neighborhood for walks to the park or just in town.

Krishma was amazing with our dog Luna! She was very patient and great with Luna out on walks during the day. She is very reliable and understanding with any schedule changes, and knowing Krishma was going to be taking our dog out during the day made it so it was one less thing for us to worry about. She is very good and quick with communicating anything and responsive!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Readington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. 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.

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 .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
