About: I have been caring for pets since I was 10 years old. I love all animals I always have. I'm a very sensitive soul and I really feel their energy. They seem to love me as well. I've always treated all of my fur babies as just that, part of the family like a very important part! So when I care for your pet rest assured they will have a luxury experience and pretty much run the show. I let them decide where and when to walk and go outside and play and eat, all within your guidelines, of course. I would be honored if u would allow me to care for your amazing fur baby or babies🐾💖 I currently work part-time so I have plenty of time to spend spoiling your fur babies. My schedule can be flexible so please reach out to see if we could be a good fit I am extremely flexible and can customize care to fit you and your pets specific needs and make sure your pets are comfortable and feel at home.
About: When a dog stays at my house I treat them as if they were my own. I have years of experience watching my sisters' dogs years ago which snowballed me into watching dogs for my coworkers, other family members and Rover clients. I have two cats who play scared but are really just dramatic and curious when a pup comes in. If your dog isn’t cat friendly I would leave them in my room and gate the dog in the kitchen when I’m not home for any reason but otherwise he will have the kitchen and entire living room with me. I work night shifts from home, so when I have your pup the longest he will be alone is an hour or two for an errand run. I always walk around my complex even when not sitting a dog, so your pup will always get good walking time with me. I have a part time job 3 days out of the month that requires 9 hours out of the house. If that day falls in between your pups visit I will let you know. I take out dogs often and have lots of park/walking area in my complex. The complex I live in is pet friendly with little car traffic.
“Holly did an amazing job taking care of our cat. She dropped in and made sure he had food and water, brushed him, watched birds with him... Our cat definitely has a new friend! She stopped by our apartment to meet Carlton before we left to make sure she would get along well with him. Even though she is a dog owner, she knew how to treat our cat, making sure our cat smelled her and was comfortable before petting him. We felt at ease knowing Carlton was in good hands while we were away!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, from large Rottweilers and Pit Bulls to small Yorkies, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I also love cats and reptiles and enjoy caring for all kinds of animals. I’m dependable, responsible, and take every pet’s care seriously. You can count on me to be punctual, communicative, and consistent with your pet’s routine. I’m flexible and always happy to give your pets the attention, playtime, and care they deserve! 🐾 As a part-time student, I have a flexible schedule with plenty of availability in the mornings and afternoons, as well as on weekends. This allows me to easily fit pet care into my routine and give each pet the time, attention, and care they need. 🐾 I’m comfortable traveling to clients’ homes and caring for their pets in their familiar environment. I’m respectful of each home and always make sure to follow the pet’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any other instructions provided. I’m responsible, attentive, and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their families are away. 🐾

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: I have been raised around dogs my entire life and have over 11 years of hands-on dog care experience. To me, dogs aren’t just animals but can be family, loyal friends…the closest companions in our lives.

About: I grew up with a childhood dog (a Yorkie mix) that I got when I was five years old. My dog became an angel last year at the age of fifteen. I unfortunately am not able to get another dog for the time being because I am in law school. But, I miss the presence of a dog dearly, which is why I chose to become a sitter. I smile at and care for all animals, and I am excited to meet all of your fur babies! I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I understand each pet has different needs, so I always ask for details/notes to make sure I can accommodate properly. Under my care, your pet is treated as if it is my own and has my full attention. While caring for pets, I also make sure to send frequent updates and pictures to keep pet parents in the loop:) I am currently in law school, so I am available on weekends for boarding requests, or during breaks (please refer to my calendar for my availability). As I have a lot of reading to do, I spend a lot of time at home and am with your animal 24/7. I enjoy going on walks at the park and have a very active lifestyle, so I would love to bring your dog along! Although I do not have a fenced backyard, I have a 1.5 acre property with ample space. I always use a leash for potty breaks and walks. I have dog bowls in my home I can use for food and drink. I live in a household with four people, so dogs are always under supervision in my home. I also provide updates and pictures of what your dog and I are up to:)

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in South Bound Brook choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
