About: I’ve been professionally dog walking and taking care of pets for about a year now, but I’ve been around animals my whole life. I honestly just really enjoy being around them and getting to know all their different personalities. I have experience with dogs, cats, and even small pets like rats. I do walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, overnight stays, and just making sure your pets are happy and comfortable while you’re away. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and energy levels, whether they want to run around and play or just hang out and relax. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always try to make visits fun, calm, and stress-free for them. I know how important it is to trust the person taking care of your pets, so I always try to be reliable, communicative, and make sure both you and your pets feel comfortable. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. I currently do dog walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care throughout the week, and I’ve also cared for my own pets my whole life. I’m used to planning my schedule around pets and making sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. I genuinely enjoy it, and spending time with animals fits naturally into my routine. I currently provide care in my clients’ homes and try to keep pets as comfortable and relaxed as possible by following their normal routine. I always follow the instructions owners provide, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, playtime, and any specific care instructions or preferences their pets have. I know every pet is different, so I try to pay attention to their personality and comfort level while making sure they feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while their owners are away.
“So amazing! Very accommodating and attentive and willing to keep in touch with you. I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs, knowing they would be well taken care of.”
About: Hi pet parents! I'm a dependable, compassionate animal lover who treats every pet like family. Although I'm new to Rover, I've spent years caring for animals. I fostered 2 cats (one of them became my foster fail baby!) and I rescued my dog. Caring for pets with different personalities—including my dog's anxiety and fear-based behaviors—has taught me patience, consistency, and the importance of positive reinforcement. I've also worked with a professional behavior trainer, giving me experience understanding dogs of all kinds. I'm certified in pet CPR and first aid, so your pet's safety is always a top priority. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, a leisurely stroll, playtime, or companionship while you're away, I'll follow their routine and provide plenty of love and attention. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I know trusting someone with your furry family member is a big decision, and I'm committed to caring for them as if they were my own. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! I have a pretty open schedule weekday mornings up to about 12pm and mostly open availability on weekends. I can be available in the evening as well with some notice. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I offer dog walks and dog / cat drop- in visits in your home. I follow whatever their normal routines are from exercise needs, meals, litter scoops, medication administration and any special instructions you provide. I understand that trusting someone with your furry family member is a big decision, and I treat every pet with the same care, patience, and attention I would give my own. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both you and your pet. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or a senior needing extra care, I'll tailor my approach to meet their individual needs.
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life, and pride myself in being able to build strong connections with animals. I volunteer at a rescue and am able to see firsthand how important it is for animals to feel loved at all times I currently work full time and have Fridays and weekends open to spend time with your pets. I am available for walks and check ins I live in an apartment with a fenced in dog park as well as many long nature trails and paths nearby to walk your dog
“We are so grateful to have found Angelica to look after our fur babies during our vacation! She was kind, friendly, punctual, responsive, and very detailed in her communication with us. We knew Stella, Fred, and George were in great hands, and we can't recommend her enough! 🐶😺😺”
“Kamryn is wonderful! Highly recommend. She was prompt, polite and attentive. She provided daily updates, pictures while we were away. She kept all 4 litter boxes clean and food bowls fresh. My two senior cats are not always easy to please, but she won them over! Will be booking her again for our next trip!”
“I’m so glad I booked Wendy for drop-in visits with my cat while I was away for 5 days. She not only kept him fed, watered, gave meds and scooped the box, she also gave him plenty of cuddles and love. It was great having that peace of mind knowing my sweet boy was in excellent hands back home. Thank you so much!”
About: I have years of experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior animals who need a little extra love and patience. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of any breed or temperament, and my experience extends to exotic pets like geckos too — so no animal is outside my comfort zone. Beyond the basics of feeding and playtime, I’m fully capable of transporting pets to vet or grooming appointments and have experience administering medications, whether oral, topical, or otherwise. Pet owners can trust that their animals are in safe, capable hands with me — no matter what their needs are. I'm currently working with a family as an on call pet/house sitter. I work anywhere from 3 days to 2 weeks, taking care of 2 cats and 2 dogs. I'm available for quick visits or long stays :) I treat every dog's daily routine as a priority, whether in my home or theirs. With the babies I'm currently watching, mornings start with a trip outside to a fenced yard for potty time while I get breakfast and medication ready. From there, we head out for the first of 2-3 walks throughout the day, which often include some playtime like a game of catch. Dinner is served around 6pm, and at night I make sure everyone settles into their crate, giving them lots of goodnight kisses before heading to bed myself. I'm comfortable administering medications and can accommodate a dog's existing schedule to keep things consistent and low-stress for them.
“Olivia has been great with my goldendoodle. She helps my out a few times a week while I am at work. I don’t trust many people with my baby and I trust her! Not only am I happy with her but my girl LOVES her. It is a great feeling knowing that your dog is in good hands. It is such a relief to have found her to help me out.”
About: I love dogs and look forward to meeting your loved one! I plan on treating your pup the way I would treat my own, with love! I love getting a chance to hang out with as many dogs as possible. I have experience in dog watching my family's and friend's dogs and I want to gain more experience. I have a flexible work schedule and can accommodate your pet by dropping in to play, take your dog for a walk, or dog sit. I know what it's like to have a busy and hectic schedule and would love to help you by caring for your pet. I live near trails and like to spend walking them. Your dog will be in responsible hands until you return. I enjoy spending time with puppies as well as senior citizen dogs and every age in between. Please let me know how I can best serve your pet. I work on the road and make my own schedule so I can come visit your pet as often as needed! I love the flexibility in my schedule so that I can have multiple passions I have a cat at home but she is very friendly. I also live in Red Bank so can go for walks around town with your dog!
“Christen was flexible/accommodating when the timing of our plans changes slightly. She was communicative with updates during her visits and our dog was clearly well taken care of and enjoyed her time with Christen. She was completely calm/at ease when we returned home. We'd definitely have Christen back to look after Claire again.”
About: I’m on Rover to help you out with any / all your pets needs while you’re away! I work full time as a behaviorist in a public school. I don’t dog train, but I am familiar with any techniques that you may need for your pup! I have 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own. I have experience with all breeds! All mutts and senior pups are welcome. I also have experience administering medication to dogs. All dogs of breeds and age deserve attention and love. I’d love it if you let me love your pets as if they are my own too! Thank you for reading this. I am able to work with the families in terms of what they need. My calendar may not always reflect accurately as my times with my full-time job (human) clients do fluctuate. If it is blocked off it means I am 100% unavailable. I don’t recommend myself in terms of full-on puppy training and 24/7 puppy care due to my schedule but I am versed in the training techniques due to my career. I am available weekends for extra care and staying in your home full time. My pets are well loved and taken care of while I care for others. I will never be able to host in my home, so please consider this! I offer in home care, overnight, daily walks, and check ins. Animals will not be hosted in my home due to a senior dog I have who is on medication. For those reasons, home sitting is only available in terms of long care. I have done walks, trips to stores, parks, yard play, and car trips with fur babies for daily drop ins, walks, or overnight stays!
About: I have over 10 years of experience taking care of high maintenance and loving animals. I cannot wait to meet your favorite member of your family! I am currently working mostly remote and my schedule is very flexible. I am a very active person so I am looking for a companion to accompany me on my walks. I will treat your pet like it is my own (with lots of love). Please inform me of any medical, safety, or any other concerns.
About: With over 30 years of hands-on experience, I bring a lifetime of love and dedication to every animal I care for. From raising blue ribbon show dogs to nurturing pets with special needs, I’ve seen it all—and loved them all. I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes and temperaments, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My deep empathy and understanding of animal behavior ensure your pet receives not just care, but comfort and connection. Whether it's a leisurely walk, a wellness check-in, or specialized support, your furry (or otherwise!) family is in gentle, experienced hands. I am a middle school and high school ESL teacher, which gives me a lot of flexibility over the summer to take care of furry friends! As our yard is not fenced in, and we have two cats of our own inside, caring for pets in my own home is sadly not an option. However I'm happy to come over as frequently as needed for walks and check-ins
“We are so excited that we found Melanie, we were able to leave our Enzo and know he was well taken care of. We received photos and videos to keep us updated which really helped us with our separation anxiety. We hope Enzo and Melanie will become BF! Definitely recommend!”
“I felt very secure for my cats being with them. They were very flexible to our cat's needs. They were a pleasure to work with from the very beginning. Lots of wonderful pictures. Our cats enjoyed their time with them and bonded very early, which was quite surprising, which goes to say how warm and friendly Lexi&Prashant are. Will definitely rebook!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Rumson
Wendy provided exceptional service to our three kitties while we were away! She communicated with us very well throughout our trip and was able to medicate our sweet older kitty, which was really important for us. Highly recommend Wendy if you want high quality care for your furry family members!
DON’T THINK. Just press the book button. 💜💜 Leaving my pets is something I genuinely dread because I worry about them so much. Finding someone I trust feels almost impossible. Then I met Nicole. From our very first meet and greet, I knew she was someone special. She has the kindest heart, the warmest smile, and a calm, caring presence that instantly put me at ease. Birds aren’t always the easiest pets to care for, but she embraced them with so much love, patience, and enthusiasm. She treated my babies like they were her own and went above and beyond in ways I never even expected, always asking if there was anything else she could do. For the first time in a very long time, I was actually able to enjoy my trip without worrying. That peace of mind is something you simply can’t put a price on. Nicole is one of those rare people you hope to find in life. The kind of person who makes the world a little brighter simply by being in it. She is genuine, compassionate, dependable, and has the biggest heart. I feel incredibly lucky that she was the one caring for my birds, and I know they’ll be just as excited to see her again as I will. If you’re looking for someone to care for your pets as if they were family, you’ve found her. Don’t think. Just press the book button. 💜

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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. 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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
