About: I have been taking care of animals of all kinds for over 10 years! I have been doing it professionally for 5+ years as my full-time gig. I work full-time Monday through Friday, but am not new to early mornings or late night stops. So if it is an early morning run they need or a late night snuggle session, I can make it happen! If you find yourself stuck at work or getting a delayed flight I can help fill in the gaps. Weekends are dang near fair game. Reach out and we can discuss what your and your pets needs are so that a plan can be made to meet everyone's needs! Caring for animals of all kinds, ages, needs, and abilities (including farm animals) is my regular day job so it is also fitting that I do it outside my 9-5. I am comfortable giving oral meds and injections so that your pet gets everything they need while you are working or away. Let me know what helps your pet feel most comfortable and happy and I will make it happen! I am currently working full-time Monday through Friday 9-5 with weeknights/early mornings wide open. So stops to check on, feed, or just play and snuggle with your best friend before or after work are my specialty! Weekends I also have availability to make multiple stops and ensure everyone's needs are met. Holidays are also usually fair game for me to help since my family is pretty close to home! I keep the site up to date almost daily so that you can be sure that your days/holidays are free for me to help! I have a very friendly dog and two lovable cats in my home that love new friends. I am happy to leash walk, crate pets as needed, dispense medications and make adjustments as required. In my home the house is fair game with no "off the couch" rule unless you prefer there to be. I am here to enforce or let slide whatever you are comfortable with! I do not currently have a fenced in yard, but am working on that! I care for pets as if they were my own and boundaries are in place to your specifications! Let's make a plan together.
“This was the second stay for Moose and Nutsy - Christina is fab! This time, my husband and I were traveling overseas and we were able to enjoy the trip all the more because of our complete confidence in Christina and the care she provides to our dogs. She treats them like part of the family! My dogs have fun being part of a larger pack (Christina has 2 dogs of her own) and come home very happy and healthy after their vacation :) We will definitely be booking with Christina for our next trip.”
“Sara was an absolutely perfect pet sitter!! She is very communicative and flexible. She sent us lots of pictures throughout the night and updates. Most importantly Wilson clearly had an amazing time time and we couldn’t be happier.100% recommend!!!”
“Laurie could not have been more kind and patient with my weird little dog. She sent thorough updates everyday and takes lots of pics and short videos to put you at ease that your baby is in good hands. The only downside is now I feel like I have to get another dog because she enjoyed her time with Laurie’s dog so much!”
“This was our first time using Jake & Mischa and they were awesome! They communicated with us and sent us pics of our pup. They also offered to drop him off and pick up which was a nice perk! Thank you guys for taking such good care of Bowser.”
“Leaving my two boys (dogs) behind was made a lot easier knowing they were in good hands. This was the second time Sheila watched my dogs. Communication was great, and I could tell how well she cared for them. Thank you for letting me enjoy my vacation without having to worry about Mookie and Bobby!”
About: I will give your dog(s) my undivided attention. They will be fed and taken for walks. I will engage with them throughout the day, as I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I will care for them just like they were my own pet. Being a dog owner myself, I understand how much they mean to their families. In case of an emergency at home or work, I will provide the necessary care for your dogs. I have a unique bond with every dog I meet and truly enjoy their company, ensuring they receive plenty of affection. In the past, I have cared for my family's dogs, feeding and walking them nearly every day. I am knowledgeable about how to handle dogs safely. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to dog-sit and walk the dogs entrusted to my care. Pet caring is one of my passion because they bring so much joy to our lives. With this being said after work I do appreciate the love my fur babies give me. I love to play and run with fur babies and I also get my weekly exercise in! I have a yard that they can run freely in. They will have access to my balcony for when they need cooling and some quiet.
“Katarzyna or Kat is awesome and very knowledgeable about the needs of pit bulls. She was very attentive, punctual and my dog seemed to love his stay with her and her family. I was very worried and at first didn't want to leave him, but I could feel and see that he was in great hands. She also sent lots of photos. She is awesome and if I find the need to need a sitter again will definitely look her up!”
About: I have taken care of close friends and families pets for years and I have decided to expand and see if anyone else needs care for their animals! I have plenty of experience working with animals. I started out as a farm aid at Turtleback zoo a couple years ago and left to go work with marine mammals in Florida. When I came back to NJ I went to Cape May and worked as a full time seasonal animal keeper. After my 6 months were up I went back to Turtleback zoo as a Relief Keeper. I left the zoo field December 2021 and started working part time at a local vet clinic where I work with all size dogs and cats. I know how to give medications also if your dog or cat have any special needs! I currently work full time, first shift for a laboratory. I also work part time at a vets office but when I am dog sitting I do not just do that your pets have more of my attention and are my priority. If I were to stay at your house I can walk your dog around your neighborhood or take them on local hiking trails! Whatever works best! I am here to care for your animals just as I would my own. My dogs Cooper and Ginger are very spoiled and I can guarantee yours will be also! Depending on the needs of your pet will be the deciding factor of our daily routine. We can talk about that more in details if you decide to message me! I have two mini dachshunds that are friendly and love to walk/hike! If your dog is friendly and adventurous I would bring them along for the fun!
About: My name is Justin and I've been dog/pet sitting for many many years! It started out by just helping a neighbor, but the word got out and I've been pet sitting ever since. I have watched a variety of pets including dogs, cats, lizards, birds, fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, and rabbits! I have always been an animal lover and I always will be. I think hanging out with dogs and getting paid for it is a dream come true. I am currently an accountant and looking to make some extra cash to pay off student loans. I would love to watch your furry family member and their safety will always be at the top of my list!

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
97% of sitters in Tusten can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Tusten home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Tusten.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tusten. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Tusten sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NY ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
