About: With a full year of Rover experience and a strong base of repeat clients, I bring reliability, consistency, and genuine care to every booking. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, including my own 80‑lb senior lab, and I understand how important it is to maintain routines, provide calm structure, and keep pets comfortable. Whether your pet needs playtime, quiet companionship, or extra patience, I’m committed to giving them attentive, high‑quality care. A meet & greet is required for all first time clients. I want to make sure this is a good fit for everyone! Pet care is a core part of my everyday life because pet‑sitting is my full‑time job. My days revolve around maintaining consistent routines, giving each pet plenty of attention, and making sure everyone feels comfortable and cared for. I’m home throughout the day, which means I can provide regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and companionship without rushing or squeezing things in. With my own 8‑year‑old, 80‑lb lab by my side, caring for dogs is simply part of the rhythm of my home and my week. Pets staying with me get reliable structure, lots of interaction, and a calm environment where they can settle in and feel at ease. I offer both in‑home boarding and in‑home sitting, and I tailor my care to whatever helps pets feel the most comfortable. When pets stay with me, they have full access to my fenced‑in backyard for safe outdoor time, plus daily walks either through downtown Lambertville or along the quieter D&R towpath depending on their energy level and personality. My home is set up for dogs to relax, follow familiar routines, and enjoy plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m also happy to stay in a client’s home when that’s the best fit. In those cases, I adapt completely to the pet’s existing schedule, environment, and household routines—whether that means sticking to specific feeding times, maintaining training habits, or keeping their usual walking routes. My goal is always to make pets feel secure, understood, and cared for, no matter which service their family chooses.
“Jennifer came for a meet and greet with Angus, and I was so impressed! It was apparrent immediately that she is a true animal lover, Angus warmed to her right away. She's also professional and a great communicator!”
“Carina was wonderful with our pug! Very kind, dependable, and kept in touch with me throughout the time we were away. I felt very comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands. I would definitely use her services again!!”
“Shannon continues to be an extremely responsible and wonderful pet sitter. She always sends us pictures, and a detailed write up of each visit. We highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve always had multiple pets my whole life from a young age, learned responsibilities by feeding, grooming, walking, entertaining, training and medically providing for all my pets and any animal in my care. I have experience working in multiple vet clinics throughout my childhood as I was a pre-vet major up until junior year of college so I have a lot of experience with all kinds of animals and medical knowledge as well. I now have my own dog, Appa, who is 2 that I raised from a puppy and am currently self training. I am currently a phd grad student at vanderbilt university so I have morning classes and lab work, but I live right down the road from campus (less than 5 min drive) and I always come home immediately after my classes/work to be home with Appa. Pet care fits into my daily schedule as I spend as much time as i can working from home so I can be with my dog. I have a 1 bedroom apartment and i live with my 2 year old fur baby named Appa! I have an apt with room for some zoomies and room to play with toys, I have a balcony if they like being outside and my buidling also has a small dog park on the roof with 2 fenced circular yards lined with turf so they can run around at a mini park as much as they want!
About: I have provided reliable dog sitting for multiple families, ensuring pets were safe, comfortable, and well cared for while owners were away. I have managed responsibilities including feeding, walking, playing, and administering basic medications. I have handled different breeds, sizes, and ages and pay attention to the each dog’s individual needs. I’m currently available for drop in visits until August 20 and then will be available again December-January and summer of 2027! Looking forward to meeting your pets! I will make sure to take each dog on as long of a walk as needed. I can take them where ever they are most comfortable or familiar with.
“Absolutely phenomenal. Went above and beyond. So easy to communicate with, sends photos and videos, loves my cat, and most importantly - he loves her! Will never use another cat sitter unless I’m forced to :-)”
“Jason has cared for Dash multiple times. Dash greets him at the door, and enjoys the special time with Jason. Of course, there’s food involved with that visit as well as treats and special attention. 🐈”
About: I have had pets my whole life. I have had cats most of my life, I love them. I have walked and pet sat for many dogs before. I helped out neighbors and family friends. I am free most days of the week. If I am busy during the day I have an appointment, but I’m usually not doing anything. I live in a small studio apartment in Doylestown, with my girlfriend and two cats. It is a tight space, but we are comfortable and definitely happy.
About: Hi there! My whole life I’ve grown up with every type of animal you can think of! I’ve had dogs my whole life and they are my absolute world. I would care for your animals as if they were my own:) Family and friends have relied and trusted me to care for their animals through out the years. I have references if needed! I currently want to pick up dog walking and petting sitting on my free time when I’m not at my 9-5 job. I am available to take your dogs for walks, play with them, feed them, etc. I am also available on the weekends. My dogs are lucky to be able to have the freedom to play, go for walks and get lots of love. I want your dogs to have the same experience from me in the comfort of your own home.
“We feel so fortunate that Bethany cared for our cat and our plants! She immediately earned our trust and kept in touch with just the right amount of communication, making us feel reassured and connected while we were away. We came home to a happy cat and plants that looked even better than when we left. We hope to have Bethany visit again in the future!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, so caring for pets truly feels second nature to me. I’m a proud dog mom to two beagle brothers, which means I’m very familiar with big personalities, lots of sniffing, and plenty of playtime and cuddles. I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet like part of the family. I take the time to get to know their routines, quirks, and favorite things so they feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just some extra love and attention, your pet will be well cared for and spoiled just like my own. I currently work full time in Pipersville caring for dogs and am available on week days for walks and also available for in home check ins and in home boarding on the weekends! I have an amazing 3 1/2 year old little helper who is great with dogs! My daughter is normally with me on overnights and walks, so child friendly is a must! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and playtime, and I treat your home with respect as if it were my own. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while keeping their environment clean and safe. I also provide updates with photos and messages so you have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Stockton
Chloe is amazing...with my cat, communication, thoughtfulness and kindness. She also met my dog at the meet and greet, and he jumped in her lap, and sat there a long time. She connects really well with animals, and is thoughtful and thorough, asking good questions about care and keeping in good contact if she has a question. An amazing pet sitter, anyone would be lucky to have her...

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.

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 .
