About: I’ve been around pets since I was little, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Over the years, I’ve helped with everything from walking and bathing to feeding, playing, and cleaning up after them. I’m active, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all sizes and personalities. I’m also very patient and understand that every pet has their own routine, comfort level, and needs. I currently do not have e a dog and only accept one dog at a time, so you’ll dog will have my sole attention. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to make pet care a priority throughout my day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and extended care during both weekdays and weekends. I enjoy staying active, so getting outside for walks and spending time with pets fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a big fenced backyard, with plenty of room for your dog to run around and play and do whatever they like. I have plenty of room in my house and your pet will be safe, fed, and happy. MUST BE HOUSE TRAINED
“Kristin & Rafael were awesome!! Pogi is very shy getting to know people, but when we picked him up, it was clear that he had already bonded with them and their dogs. This was our first experience with Rover.com and Kristin & Rafael and we will be sure to have Pogi stay with them if needed in the future. Thanks! :)”
“Another great boarding for Pearl with Mark and his wonderful family! They just take such good care of her and give her so much attention. They truly love her. I appreciate it so much!”
About: hello, my name is lauren I’m currently studying as a biology major at MU! My long-term goal to be an Equine veterinarian🐴 but I love all animals any size! I have been pet sitting for many years. I find that it is very convenient due to it never feeling like a job. I love hanging out with animals, and spending individualized time with each of my clients! as someone with multiple animals very close to my heart, I understand the importance of making sure that your pets are in safe hands, as someone with medical CPR and hands-on training, You can feel safe and confident while your pets are being cared for!
“Vincent took great care of our German shepherd Trooper this weekend. He kept us updated throughout Trooper’s time with him which was great. Trooper liked Vincent immediately, and he sometimes takes a few minutes to warm up to new people. Trooper is sad now that he’s home with his parents (lol) so we know he had a great time. He can’t wait to visit his new friend again!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, dog mom to my energetic 2-year-old Golden Retriever, Boomer, and mom of three active kids, caring for others comes naturally to me. Our home and lifestyle are very active, so I’m comfortable handling dogs with lots of energy, big personalities, and different needs. I have experience with pets both big and small and understand how important it is to keep them safe, exercised, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, cuddles, check-ins, or dependable in-home care, I treat every animal like part of the family and care for them with patience, attention, and genuine love. My schedule is very flexible thanks to my career in real estate, which allows me to adjust my day around client and pet care needs. I’m available for morning, midday, evening, and weekend walks or drop-ins, and I can often accommodate last-minute requests. Because I create my own schedule, I’m able to provide reliable, attentive care and plenty of time and attention for your pets. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. As both a dog owner and mom, I understand how important trust and communication are when someone is caring for a member of your family. I’m attentive, dependable, and respectful of both your home and your pet’s individual needs. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels and always focus on creating a calm, positive environment where pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, walking routines, crate training preferences, and any special care requests to help keep your pet comfortable and stress-free.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a teenager and I am obsessed with mine now. My dogs are so friendly and they love to play with new friends so I would love to host your dog in my home which is a fenced in yard. Plenty of space to run and a very clean environment. Doodles preferred and non shedding dogs due to my son’s allergies please. I am a work from home mom with two boys who are 10 and 12 who also love dogs. because of my schedule, I am able to be home to take care of the pups. I would treat them like my own! They are welcome to Rome in a comfortable large space and run around in the backyard with lots of walks every couple of hours.
“Meghan was perfect for watching our cat for an extended stay! She gave us updates with pictures and videos. We felt she was safe and happy with Meghan. We will absolutely reach out again when we need a babysitter!”
“Carly is wonderful! She babysat my dog, Fig, a few times over the summer, and he absolutely loved spending time with her and her sweet corgi, Willow. I felt completely at ease knowing Fig was in such great hands. Highly recommend!”
“Mary and Ginny take fantastic care of my 5 year old golden retriever! He has some anxiety so boarding him is no longer an option. Mary and Ginny provide him with a loving and comfortable environment that eases his anxiety and allows us to travel without worry. He had a blast playing in their yard and watching the chickens!”
“Daisy was very sweet and attentive to Hari. She provided us with photos and he looked content in all of them. She gave him his meds and he was walked every day. He looked clean and healthy when we picked him up. We will definitely be using Daisy again.”
“Carol Ann was willing to meet us in advance for a “get acquainted” meeting. My dog, Missy Seemed to be very friendly with her (and her hubby John) is a bonus. Carol Ann kept me apprised kept good care of my Missy. Definitely looking forward to my Missy spending more time with Carol Ann.”
“Meg and her family are incredibly warm - Uneela loves staying with them! The drop-off/pick-up process is smooth and easy and we are comfortable as we get frequent updates and pics - definitely would recommend Meg to others looking for a family to take care of their pet when needed.”
“Jack really enjoyed his stay! The location is truly a luxury facility with plenty of room for the dogs to run around in the backyard, a patio and plenty of sleeping indoor space! Monika really enjoys her pets and keeps us posted with pictures! We will be returning!!”
“Thank you Kimberley for taking care of Vito. Your kindness and knowledge of my senior dog was incredible. I want to also thank you for your patience with me as I was a first time user of Rover and was a little awkward in using the app. I enjoyed my time at my event because I knew Vito was in safe hands. Thank you.”
“Amazing. We could not have found anyone better to take care of our dog while away. Megan and her husband were fantastic to work with, so easy with our schedule and gave our dog even more attention than we ever could! They sent me pictures everyday which was so comforting and when it came time to pick up my dog she wasnt even overly excited to see me- I think she would have preferred to stay with them longer :)”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Toms River
We left Lucian (rescue mix-breed) with Nicole for what was supposed to be 4 nights. Unfortunately we were delayed due to a major traffic accident (not us) and Nicole graciously offered to keep Lucian for an additional night. We are very happy with Nicole as well as her young daughter who treated Lucian as their own. He got along great with the entire household and they treated him with lots of love and affection. Very happy and when we need a dog-sitter again we will look to Nicole.
We love Debbie! She is so caring and loving toward our Labrador. She takes her on walks daily, gives her treats and plenty of snuggles and attention. She gives us updates and communicates often with texts and pictures. We could not have found a better sitter for our dog:)
Our dog Ellie received excellent care from Celeste! She truly went above and beyond to make sure Ellie was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. It was clear from the moment we picked her up that she had been in great hands. We’re so grateful for the wonderful care and peace of mind Celeste provided. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter!
Avigail( Abby) was absolutely awesome ! She always kept me informed about Roscoe and sent pictures everyday , walking him and hanging out with her and her golden retriever ! They were buddies ! She made us feel so content on our vacation! We knew he was in the best of hands !! Will definitely use her again if we go back to the shores for vacation! Thank you Abby so much !
