“Jennifer was amazing!!!! Sent lots of photos of Milo with his new friends! He had the best time with her two pups as well he slept as soon as he got home I know he was playing all day long! 100% will book again.”
“This was my first time being away from Sadie overnight and I’m glad it was with Corrine! She was so lovely and communicative. She eased all my fears and it seems like she has a great set up for dogs. Sadie was able to play with other dogs all day, which left her worn out for nighttime. I can’t recommend enough!”
“Very appreciative to have taken my pup last minute when I flew home for a wedding. Was great with my pup and he loved playing with her kiddos. Thankful that she was able to give him his medications when asked. Thank you so much, definitely would recommend and use again when back in the area!!”
“Rebecca did the best job looking after our dog Bruce for 5 nights! She was super communicative with lots of photos. Bruce was super happy - he got lots of cuddles and didn’t want to leave! Will absolutely rebook next time we need a sitter”
“Ricky’s second time with Alba and she is amazing. Always feel so relaxed while he is there knowing he is in good hands. So many cute photos sent of him while we were away. She is VERY accommodating as well. ♥️”
“Danielle I couldn’t say enough great things about her! She really took Amigo in as another part of her family and he did so great there! I loved getting the updates and photos everyday. And she helped me last minute! And right after the holidays! I will absolutely use her again!”
About: I have cared for puppies, as well as adult dogs and aging dogs. I love them all and they all sense it when I meet them. I am retired, so I have a lot of time and a very flexible schedule. Also, I am up very early in the morning, and like getting an early start. I have a partially fenced yard, so would be more comfortable with your dog n a leash or inside the house if at my home.
“Christine is amazing. She was God sent to us when we our plans didn't work out and we didn't have a sitter for our 2 week vacation. Christine came thru and she treated my puppy like family and I couldn't of asked for a better home for him. I was at peace knowing he was being loved by a wonderful family 🐾💙”
About: I ensure pets feel safe, comfortable and happy with personalized routines, play time and plenty of love while you’re away. 15+ years of experience of pet sitting/pet owner. I have assisted in whelping puppies and care for my own dog with multiple health issues. I work a typical 8:30-4:30 job in the Ocean and Monmouth county area. But I am flexible with work from home, or traveling for drop in visits. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for running, frolicking and playing. I understand the importance of maintaining their routines and schedules all while providing endless love! I am comfortable with administering medication if necessary.
“Crystal took exception care of Bailer wile we were away for 10 days. She sent pictures on a regular basic and kept us updated on how he was doing! I will defiantly be using Crystal again when we go away.”
About: I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of dogs . My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends dogs as well. I am a teacher by day. Dog lover the rest of the time. Summers off - makes me available to care for your pups in your home or mine . I love long walks, cuddles and playtime with furry friends in my home or yours. Whatever makes your pet happy can be attained through thoughtful and caring communication.
About: I have always been a lover of animals. I grew up with cats, dogs, rabbits, guniea pigs, and hamsters. Every single animal I’ve had has been given the love they deserve. Giving them all their play time, I have a huge fenced in yard for dogs to run around in and play fetch. If pets need their own space, I can accommodate that. If you need me to take extra time out for them I can offer that as well! I’m here to help! I am a hairstylist by trade for 27 years and love what I do, I work part time to be home more with my children. Being a hairstylist, I love helping my clients look and feel good. That being said, I figured I can help people in other ways as well and being that I love animals, why not help people with their pets by taking care of them! I take my dog on daily walks, except for Tuesdays and Saturdays but those are the days I work in the salon, but my husband takes our dog out. She also will go to my mother's house in the summer to swim with us as she absolutely loves the pool! Being that I am home most of the week, watching dogs fits well into my schedule. I will treat other people's pets as if they were my own. As long as they are potty trained, I will allow them to walk freely in my home, I have a huge fenced in yard for them to run and play. As long as the weather is beautiful out, I will take them on walks as well with my family! Myself and my family will treat your pets as if they were ours! We will show them love the entire time they are with us!
“Judy was fantastic with our Zoey girl! My kids loved getting regular pictures to see what their pup was up to. It was clear that Zoey was in the best hands and given lots of love, attention and cuddles. We would definitely book with Judy again and highly recommend her for anyone in need of care for their pet. Thanks so much Judy!! You and your family are awesome!!”
“Arlene was a pleasure to leave my fur baby with for a few days. She stayed in constant contact with me and sent photos daily. Will definitely reach out again to her if we need a sitter again!”
About: I am a work from home dog mom and love my German Shorthaired Pointer, Remi. We go to the beach, park and go on neighborhood walks every day. I have the availability and capacity to have another dog to tag along. I have fostered dogs in the past and love helping a dog have a safe and comfortable place to stay! I work from home and take my dog for a walk every few hours or bring her to the beach or the park on my lunch break. Dogs have plenty of toys and comfortable places to relax and play while I work. Remi would love to keep your pup company! I have the room to have your dog set up however they need. If your pup is crate trained, I have a spare one to set up for them with all the comfy things needed to put in it. I have lots of treats and toys for pups to play with and a safe, dog-friendly neighborhood to walk them in.

Toms River dog parents share their Rover experiences
This was our first time using Matt for an overnight for our dog Gino. Gino had the absolute best time! Not only did Matt send us updates and pics which made us feel so comfortable and happy knowing he was having fun, Gino loved Matt’s dogs Jax and Henry. (And so do we!) We are so lucky to have found Matt! Thank you for taking such good care of Gino! See you next week!
I had such a great experience leaving my dog with Laura & Carmine while I was away for the weekend. My dog has separation anxiety and some behavior quirks, so finding the right sitters can be tough—but they were incredibly understanding, sweet, and welcoming. He was clearly well cared for, had fun, and most importantly, felt safe and relaxed in their home. I would absolutely recommend them to other pet owners and hope to book with them again in the future!
