About: I have been watching and taking care of friends/family dogs for years and have raised my own since he was a 8 weeks old. I can clip nails, bath give ear/eye treatments if ever needed. I work remotely from home for the most part and would only accept to care if I am home that day. I have a 30 lb Klee Kai mix at home who would accompany your pet on walks/play time and naps. Walks would be about every 2-3 hours for potty breaks. For extra outdoor play time we could go out on the large patio on my floor. Pets are allowed to hang out and nap on couch

They took the time to do a proper meet and greet which helped my dog get to know them and made my experience so comforting to know exactly where my dog would be as well as get to know who my dog would be staying with.

About: I’ve been caring for pets my whole life—everything from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. I’m the go-to sitter for friends and family because they know I treat every pet like my own. I’m all about keeping routines consistent, sending cute updates, and making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and totally spoiled while you’re away. I’m about to start my journey as a pediatric resident, so while my schedule can be a bit hectic at times, I’m still passionate about making time for pet care. I’ll always do my best to be flexible and work around your pet’s needs—whether that means early morning walks, evening check-ins, or weekend snuggles. Communication is super important to me, so I’ll always be upfront about my availability and make sure your pet gets the consistent, loving care they deserve. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I stick to their usual routines to keep things calm and familiar. I keep a close eye on everything—no off-leash walks, secure spaces, and lots of supervision during playtime. I also love sharing updates (with plenty of cute pics!) so you always know how your furry friend is doing. My goal is to make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved every step of the way.
“Ashley was fantastic. Extremely conscientious, sent pictures and text updates throughout our pooch's vacation there, and really worked with us on timing and logistics. Very reliable, and would choose Ashley again in a heartbeat.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes since I was a kid. I’ve trained 3 dogs and am currently working on training the puppy I currently own. I am also able to take care of senior animals based on their individual needs. I work and live on campus at Stevens Institute of Technology, and my job is extremely flexible to where I can take care of my animals at any time of the day. So making sure animals are taken care of is not a problem. I live in an apartment so I walk my dogs through the city of Hoboken and am able to take them to any dog parks in the area. I am also able to crate small dogs if necessary.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Smithtown
This was Nico’s second visit with John, and I am 100% confident in his ability to care for dogs. As he says in his profile, he truly is a dog whisperer. He is calm, knowledgeable, compassionate, and clearly understands dogs and their individual personalities. If you’re considering trusting John with your pets, you can feel confident they will be in excellent hands and receive thoughtful, attentive care.
We had such a great experience! Kristen watched Sadie and Tinky for a few nights and took wonderful care of both of them. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again!
My dogs Bella and Bailey were in amazing hands with Rachel, Henrik and their children. They treated my dogs like they were their own from the moment they entered their home. My dogs are 14 years old and have some special needs and Rachel was up to the task! She even cooked rice for Bailey when he had an upset stomach! I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs to have their dogs taken care of. My dogs got spoiled and would love to visit again in the future! Thanks for everything :)
Our doggos took an instant liking to Kyla, whom from this first instance of contact was so incredibly polished and professional and really helped put us at ease.

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 .
