About: I have over two years of professional experience working with dogs and have been a dog owner for more than 15 years. I believe in allowing dogs to approach at their own pace and building trust through patience and understanding. I have experience caring for puppies as well as dogs with behavioral challenges. I’m a college student with flexible availability. The only times I’m unavailable are Tuesdays before 1 PM and Thursdays. I live at home, so overnights at my home aren’t an option, but I’m happy to stay overnight at your home if needed. I am capable of handling multi-dog families. Due to my background, I'm used to seeing sibling sets of 2-3, despite never personally owning more than 2 dogs at 1 time
“Punctual, communicative, sent lots of pictures and my animals seemed to like her. I felt comfortable with Nicolette in my home while I was away and with entrusting my animals to her care.”

“We liked the service. We met Kim before we needed her services. She took care of our cats while we were away. She came in daily as scheduled, maintained the litter boxes and replaced the food and water. We will call her again.”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life, and two years ago I worked with a dog-sitting company—a truly rewarding experience. I love being surrounded by these four-legged friends, and I have a natural ability to communicate with them. I am currently off for the summer, but starting in September, I will be mostly available after 4:00 p.m. on weekdays and throughout the weekends. In my home, I focus on creating a safe, fun, and structured environment for every pet. We’ve recently added a secure fence to our extra-large backyard so visiting pups now have a spacious, supervised play area to run, explore, and burn off energy. In addition, I make sure dogs stay active and engaged with daily walks around the neighborhood, tailored to their age and energy level. In a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s routine as closely as possible—feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and walks—so they feel comfortable and cared for in their familiar space. My goal is always to provide consistency, safety, and lots of loving attention, whether I’m hosting your pet or caring for them in your home.
About: I've grown up taking care of pets; my childhood cat and my cousin's dog. I've cared for my neighbor's animals and currently have both a cat and a dog. My family and I trained my dog at home and I can help reinforce any training you're doing with your animal. I'm currently a college student in Boston and I'm looking to walk or sit pets as a part-time job and stay connected to my love for animals! During the winter and summer break, I have few commitments and can be very flexible with my hours and your pet's needs. I can do long walks for dogs, feed, play, clean up, and other general needs for both cats and dogs! I'm happy to send photo updates throughout the day if sitting or have flexible hours with whatever time your dog is typically walked!

About: I’ve lived with all kinds of dogs my whole life and work at a dog daycare where I help provide luxury pet care to our clients. I absolutely love animals and am willing to work with pets that take extra time and care! I currently work part time at a dog daycare. During the week I leave no later than 7:30, meaning I’d be available any time after that. on weekends I currently do not work and am available for sitting/walking bookings At home I have a big pup of my own that i care for. Throughout the day I let her out in my yard as needed and take her for 3 walks a day. I make sure that she has water all day and feed her twice a daily. And of course, I give all her love and attention I possible can!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life and currently have two dogs of my own. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make each pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As an active person who enjoys walking and being outdoors, I can provide energetic walks for dogs who need exercise while also giving gentle attention to senior dogs who prefer a slower pace. I’m dependable, communicative, and will treat your pets like they’re part of my own family. I know how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet with someone else, and I’ll provide updates and photos so you know they’re in great hands. I’m a stay-at-home mom of two school-aged children and am looking for flexible work that allows me to care for pets during school hours. My schedule is open on weekdays while my children are in school, and for certain walks or drop-in visits, my kids may accompany me when appropriate. I’m reliable, active, and love spending time outdoors with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I currently have two friendly dogs of my own and treat every pet as if they were part of my family. I follow owners' instructions carefully, prioritize safety on walks and during visits, and provide regular updates with photos for peace of mind. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away.

I will take care of your pets as if they are my own! I am a certified animal control officer who has dealt with difficult situations and handled difficult animals with care. Rest assured I will take care of your pets with the utmost responsibility while making your animals feel comfortable and loved. I work nights so I can take care of animals throughout the morning and afternoon and even stop by later at night. My schedule is very flexible so I can provide full time pet care with enough notice! I will make sure to take care of your pets exactly as you would. I have a medicated senior dog myself who is spoiled beyond belief but with my experience in a shelter environment I have had to adapt to my pet care tactics on a case by case basis. I’m someone who will follow your directions to a T as you know your pets the best.
About: Not only have I owned many different animals and loved each one but I’ve also worked with dogs watching more then 20 individually and at a time ensuring their safety. I have experience helping dogs with disabilities, dogs that need oral meds, senior dogs and dogs as young as just a few weeks old.

I have a fenced in large yard and a very nice neighborhood to take nice long walks around. I do have one large breed dog at home
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was young. I have grown up with dogs, always been around dogs and overall just love dogs! I also love walks so the combination is perfect in my mind! I now have my own puppy as well who gets along with any and all dogs! I am looking to do walks for dogs! I have a full time job plus work some weekends, so when I can I would love to take a pup on a walk! I am super respectful of others homes. I have dog sat many times, even over night for 2 weeks.

About: I've been an animal lover my whole life and treat every pet as if they were my own. I had the time of my life with my sweet girl, who crossed the Rainbow Bridge last year. She filled my life with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories, and caring for her was one of the greatest privileges of my life. As a special education teacher, I'm patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet's unique personality and needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or relaxing with company, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I'll follow their routine closely and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in caring hands. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits very well into my routine, especially since I’m currently off for the summer. This gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with pets. During the school year, I have a structured schedule as a special education teacher, which still allows me to be available in the mornings, afternoons, evenings, and on weekends. I’m organized and reliable, and I make sure each pet gets consistent care, attention, and time without feeling rushed. I care for every pet like they’re my own and always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine so they feel secure in their familiar environment. I pay close attention to details like feeding instructions, walks, medications, and any special needs. Safety is always my top priority, I make sure doors are secure, pets are properly leashed outside, and they’re never left unattended during visits. I also treat your home with respect and care, leaving everything clean and just as I found it. My goal is to build trust through reliability, communication, and genuine love for animals so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. 🐾
About: I have experience with small and medium-sized breeds, such as my parent’s dog, Enzo, who is a havashu, as well as my current dog, Robin, a 60 lb. boxer with high energy. I’ve also had experience walking and taking care of dogs of my friends. If you have a larger dog, my fiancé, Vin, is on Rover as well and has extensive experience with bigger breeds. I currently work from 8:30am to 5:00pm Monday through Friday. I am usually available during the weekends any time with enough notice. My fiancé, Vin, is available from 3:30pm and later during the week, as well as weekends any time as well. I am available to walk your dog, as well as feed them, give them any needed medications, and to play with them and/or give them pets!
About: I treat every pet like they’re my own—lots of love, attention, and a little extra spoiling included. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need patience and consistency with basic training, to senior pets who need a gentler pace and extra care. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic medications, and picking up on each pet’s unique personality and needs. What sets me apart is the level of care and communication I provide. I don’t just “watch” pets—I engage with them, whether that means long walks, playtime, or quiet cuddle time depending on what they enjoy most. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is happy and in good hands. My goal is simple: happy pets, stress-free owners, and a safe, loving environment every time. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine since I care for my own German Shepherd at home. I’m used to staying on a consistent schedule with walks, feeding, playtime, and attention throughout the day, so adding additional pets into my routine feels very natural. Because of this, I’m mindful of each pet’s needs—whether they have lots of energy and need active walks or prefer a calmer, more relaxed pace. I plan my days to make sure every pet gets dedicated time, care, and attention without ever feeling rushed. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, with flexibility for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I always do my best to stick to your pet’s usual routine to keep them happy and comfortable. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for any pet. In my home, I maintain a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment. I also have a German Shepherd, so I’m very experienced with maintaining structure, supervision, and safe interactions. I always take the time to properly introduce pets (when applicable) and make sure everyone feels comfortable and stress-free. For dog walking, I use secure leashes/harnesses and stay aware of our surroundings at all times to keep your dog safe on every walk. I adjust the pace and distance based on your dog’s age, energy level, and needs. During pet sitting and house sitting, I do my best to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions are always followed closely. I respect your home, keep things tidy, and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I also provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident and at ease knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I have been passionate about dogs for as long as I can remember. I am certified in Dog Training Knowledge from Catch Academy, a nationally recognized organization based in New Jersey. Additionally, in my free time, I volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I walk and train dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I will do my best to work around your schedule and be available when needed. Please let me know what works best for you and your dog, so that their routine does not change. I cannot wait to meet your pup! I will review all necessary information with you about your dog and his/her needs. I will follow your directions to ensure that you feel comfortable with me in your home and with me spending time with your dog. I will treat your home and dog with the utmost respect and care.
About: I provide more than just pet care—I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I have hands-on experience with both energetic puppies who need extra playtime and training, as well as senior pets who benefit from gentle handling, medication management, and a slower pace. I pay close attention to detail, communicate frequently with pet parents, and treat every dog as if they were my own. I work full time, but I work from home. I am available on most days and can be there for lunch routines. I am available during my lunch breaks for dog walks. I have one mini bernedoodle, who is the most friendly dog in the world. I can take care of dogs in my house, and am available for walks on my lunch.

We are so thrilled to have found Allison to take care of our furry family member. She went above and beyond for our boy, spending extra time with him and was very attentive to his needs. She sent lots of photos and her visit summary was detailed and made us feel so at ease. We were able to really enjoy our vacation, worry free! We will definitely be reaching out to her in the future!!

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Union Beach 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
