About: Hi! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I currently have two Sphynx (hairless) cats and a Pomeranian, and I absolutely love spending time with animals.

I’ll treat them like they’re my own and make sure they get lots of love and attention! I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I have a very flexible schedule and can easily fit pet care into my day. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feedings, or just keeping your pet company, I’m happy to work around their routine and give them the attention they deserve. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll follow their usual routine, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions you leave.

About: Hi! I’ve been caring for pets professionally for 5 years, and I’ve loved every moment of it! :) I first started pet sitting during the summers while I was in college and have continued ever since, including after completing my undergrad last year. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and temperaments. My most regular client is a big, sweet Pitbull, so I’m very comfortable and confident caring for larger pups! I’m also experienced with administering medications, including pills and insulin. I’ve always been an animal lover and find that I bond easily with just about every pet I care for. I take pride in providing loving, attentive, and reliable care for your fur babies and I absolutely love sending lots of photos and updates along the way! I’m currently working part-time, so I’m typically available anytime after 1 PM Monday–Friday. I’m also available on weekends as needed! I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible :) I have years of experience caring for pets and making their safety my top priority! I believe the best way to keep every pet happy and safe is to carefully review each owner’s instructions and reach out with any questions or concerns. Clear communication is always key, and I want every owner to feel confident that their pet is in good hands :)
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a genuine passion for caring for furry family members. Having grown up surrounded by dogs my entire life. I’ve experienced every stage of puppyhood and understand their unique needs, energy levels and personalities that each dog brings. I have 9 months of experience actually working with dogs and cats, at a dog boarding facility called Barks Bed & Biscuit in denville NJ. I provided excellent care for the animals, cleaning, feeding, medicating and occasionally giving insulin. Currently I work a part time job at a dog boarding/ daycare during the midday- night but I can always work around my schedule and work! I have a fenced yard to protect my dogs and cats! We have cat crates and pouches to make sure they get some outdoor time.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 14 years through fostering, pet sitting, dog walking, and volunteering with animal shelters. I’ve spent more than 10 years volunteering with shelters and also have experience helping train service animals, which has taught me so much about patience, consistency, animal behavior, and adapting to each pet’s individual personality and needs. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and energy levels, from playful puppies who need extra attention, exercise, and structure to senior pets who prefer a slower pace and a little extra patience and TLC. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pet. I truly treat every animal as if they were my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, exercise, enrichment, and companionship while they’re with me. And because I know how much we all miss our pets when we’re away, you can expect plenty of photo updates so you can see what your best friend is up to! ❤️ I have a full-time job with flexible hours, which allows me to fit pet care into my schedule consistently. I’m most available on evenings and weekends, and I always make sure I have plenty of time to give each pet the attention, exercise, and care they need. I live in a house with plenty of space for pets to feel comfortable and settle in. I’m very mindful about safety, routines, feeding instructions, and each pet’s individual needs. I also have a friendly 6-year-old cat who is comfortable around other animals. I’m happy to use a crate if that is part of your dog’s normal routine, and I always do my best to keep pets feeling safe, relaxed, and at home.
“Julie took such incredible care of our babies while we were away and we are most grateful! She was attentive and loving and our shy girl even came out to say hello- that speaks volumes to us! We look forward to calling Julie again, we know our babies are in good hands with her ??”
About: I’ve taken care of and owned dogs of every kind and age since I was 5 years old. No dog is too big or too small! Too young or too old for me! My friends, family, coworkers and neighbors have all trusted me to care for their furbabies. I know how much mine mean to me, and I promise to treat yours as my own! I am currently working full-time as a teacher so weekdays have to be scheduled in advance after 5PM. Will gladly schedule weekend walks and drop-ins! I care for others’ fur babies as if they were my own! I am happy to accommodate whatever food, medication, or exercise needs they may have!

About: Hi! I'm Jordan, a professional women's soccer player! While soccer keeps me busy, animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up surrounded by pets and currently have two dogs back home—a German Shorthaired Pointer named Grace and a Yellow Lab named Earl—as well as my 15-year-old black cat, Pigpen. Being away from them during the season has only made me appreciate how important it is to know they're in good hands, and that's exactly the kind of care I want to provide for your pets. I've spent years dog sitting, cat sitting, providing dog walks, and giving cats the attention and enrichment they need while their families are away. I also volunteer with local animal shelters and have training in cat enrichment, so I'm comfortable working with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company and stick to their routine, I'm happy to meet them where they're at. I know every pet is different, and I treat every animal I care for like they're my own. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind that they're in good hands! As a professional soccer player, having structure and consistency is a big part of my daily life. My training schedule is planned well in advance, which allows me to dedicate focused time to the pets I care for. Whether it's early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening visits, I make sure each pet receives the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I know how important it is for pets to stay comfortable in their own environment, so I do everything I can to keep their routine as normal as possible. I'll follow your instructions carefully, whether that's feeding schedules, medications, favorite walking routes, playtime, or bedtime routines. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. For dogs, every walk is tailored to their age, energy level, and personality. Some dogs enjoy a long, active walk with plenty of opportunities to explore, while others are happiest with a slower pace and extra sniffing time. Safety is always my top priority, and I'll make sure your dog gets both the physical exercise and mental stimulation they need. For cats, I understand that every personality is different. Some cats love interactive play and attention, while others prefer a calm presence and a familiar routine. With my background in feline enrichment, I enjoy providing activities that keep cats engaged while always respecting their comfort level. I'll also treat your home with the same care and respect that I would my own. You can expect regular updates, photos, and honest communication so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets—and your home—are in good hands.

I have a flexible schedule which will be convenient for this job. I am so excited for this opportunity, thanks :) Best, Jaden I work fully remotely and have a very flexible schedule, which makes pet care easy to incorporate into my daily routine.

This flexibility also allows me to accommodate overnight stays or multiple visits when needed. I’m happy to provide care in your home, where your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m also very flexible with travel and have my own car, so I can easily commute to you for drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays.

“Jade did a great job with drop-in visits for George. She was dependable and communicative throughout, and we really appreciated her letting us know in advance when she was running late on one of the visits.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Rockaway
Kiara was absolutely wonderful. She was super thorough, sweet, kind, communicative, and thoughtful. She was on-time every single day, and really built a bond with my kitties. There were times while I was away I was super busy, but I knew my cats were in good hands as every single visit she sent me updates with photos, so I could look down at my phone, sigh, relax and know they were taken care of. She is also very nice and seems to be very educated on animals as she works closely with them and has her own. I 10/10 recommend her and would 100% trust her with your babies. My kittens are my world, so the absolute best care is nessesssary, and that best care is with Kiara.
I cannot say enough good things about Julia. Our cat is a diabetic she was extremely intune to his behaviors and when he was acting very different she never hesitated to call us and take action. Her dedication to his well being saved his life as he was having a diabetic crisis. She took him to vet and followed up everyday with the direction from the doctor. Julia was amazing and cannot thank her enough for her care to our cat while we were away.
Jennifer was amazing! She watched our cat, Shrimp Toast, over the Thanksgiving holiday while we were out of town visiting family, and we felt SO at ease. She communicated great with us, provided us the cutest pictures of Shrimp Toast, was considerate, and most of all, our cat loved her! I look forward to having the peace of mind I did on this trip as I do my next :)
