“Alyssa did a wonderful job of watching my 2 dogs and 2 cats for the 3 weeks I was away. She is very responsible and takes full accountability for the care of the animals and home. I appreciated the multiple pictures and check-ins. You could tell through the pictures the animals really took to her. She also took good care of my house by keeping it clean, plants watered and mail taken in.”

She was great about sending me updates without me even having to ask, & she sent me SO many cute pictures and videos of them 🥹 It honestly made being away so much easier!

About: I have always had a passion for dogs. I have been dog sitting for the past 6 years. I truly love every minute of it! I enjoy giving each dog individual attention and care, unlike what they may receive in a large kennel. I love spending time with dogs, taking them for walks, feeding them, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away I’m a stay at home fur mom and have a flexible schedule and reliable transportation. I can easily incorporate more dogs into my feeding and walking routines throughout the days. I have had dogs my whole life and truly enjoy pet care and helping keep pets on their schedule. I also think it is important to have patience with dogs.
“Katalina was the best. She took really good care of our 9 year old lab while we were away. Katalina is reliable, prompt, and sent us regular updates. Highly recommend Katalina if you’re looking for care for your furry family members.”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I give every pet. I truly treat animals like family, and I know how important it is for pet parents to feel comfortable and updated while they’re away. I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed in their normal routine. I’m dependable, communicative, and pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs — whether that means extra playtime for energetic dogs, patience with shy or anxious pets, or a slower pace and gentle care for senior dogs. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine and something I genuinely enjoy making time for. I’m used to planning my days around feeding schedules, walks, check-ins, and giving pets the attention and consistency they need. I care for animals every day, including feeding and looking after stray cats in my area, so caring for pets feels very natural to me and is something I’m committed to year-round. I enjoy being active, spending time outdoors, and giving pets companionship, exercise, and comfort while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and sleep schedules closely so pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship — not just the basics. I also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they always know how their pet is doing. For dogs, I focus on safe walks, play, bathroom breaks, and making sure they get enough activity and affection based on their energy level and personality. For cats, I understand the importance of patience and routine, especially with shy or anxious cats, and I make sure litter boxes, feeding areas, and water stay clean and fresh. I’m attentive to pets’ behavior and comfort and will always let owners know right away if something seems unusual. My goal is for pets to feel safe, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. 🐾
About: Hi! I’m Jackie, a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for dogs, cats, and senior pets. I grew up with dogs and have always been comfortable around them, their energy, and their routines. As an adult, I’m a proud cat mom, which has given me a deep appreciation for feline personalities, boundaries, and the quieter kind of companionship. I understand that pets aren’t just animals—they’re family, and trusting someone with them is a big deal. I’m patient, attentive, and very detail-oriented when it comes to routines, feeding instructions, medications, and comfort needs. I work from home, which allows me to be present, responsive, and flexible with schedules. I especially enjoy providing calm, reassuring care for pets who may be shy, anxious, older, or just prefer a quieter environment. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, or simply having someone nearby for comfort and companionship, my goal is always to help them feel safe, loved, and relaxed while giving you peace of mind when you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I work part time and have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to be present, responsive, and attentive to pets throughout the day. I care for pets by closely following their established routines so they feel safe and comfortable in a familiar environment. I take time to understand each pet’s feeding schedule, walking needs, litter or potty routines, medications, and any special instructions provided by their owner. In a client’s home, I’m respectful, clean, and attentive, making sure pets receive plenty of companionship, enrichment, and reassurance while maintaining their normal daily rhythm. I prioritize calm, positive interactions and never rush care. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a quiet, low-stress environment with close supervision, lots of attention, and regular updates to owners. I’m especially mindful of safety, comfort, and cleanliness. I communicate regularly with photos and updates so owners feel confident and connected while they’re away, and I always adjust my care style based on each pet’s personality, energy level, and needs.

About: What sets me apart is the amount of hands-on experience I’ve had caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, personalities, and needs. For four years, I cared for a senior dog until she peacefully passed away, which taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of providing specialized care. I’ve also cared for newborn puppies, assisted during a dog’s labor and birth, and helped families raise young puppies who needed constant attention and routine. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs with a wide range of temperaments. Some have needed three walks a day and lots of playtime, while others preferred quiet companionship and their personal space. I’ve also worked with dogs that required extra patience due to anxiety, age, or unique behavioral needs. I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality so I can provide the care that’s best for them. I’m experienced with different feeding schedules and specialized diets, and I understand how important it is to stick to a pet’s normal routine. I believe consistent communication is just as important as great pet care, so I make sure owners receive regular updates, photos, and honest communication while they’re away. I previously provided dog boarding in my own home, but now that I have two dogs of my own, I primarily offer care in my clients’ homes. This allows your pet to stay comfortable in their familiar environment while receiving attentive, personalized care with minimal disruption to their routine. My goal is simple: to treat every dog as if they were my own and give pet parents complete peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in caring, experienced, and reliable hands. I currently work part-time and have lots of flexibility in my schedule and can fit petsitting and pet care very well in my schedule. I currently do not offer pet care in my home for the safety of your pet and mine, but I will ensure safety at all times taking care of your pet by following any instructions left and being aware of the environment and home I am providing the service in.
About: As a lifelong dog parent who recently provided dedicated, high-needs care for my own senior dog, I deeply understand every stage of a pup's life—from energetic puppyhood to the gentle senior years. I am highly experienced in managing specialized routines, including administering medications and eye drops, preparing prescriptive diets, and handling accident cleanups with patience. Whether your dog needs active playtime, structured walks, or just a comforting presence to feel safe and secure, I am ready to provide the attentive love they deserve. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to attend to your pups! I'm available for house sitting and staying with your pup in their own comfy environment. Let me know what your needs are and I'll try to accommodate them! I can care for your pet in your home as you see fit! My goal is to make your pup feel happy, safe, and secure and stick to their normal routine as much as possible.

About: I’m a proud cat parent to three cats: Momo (13), Lemon (11), and Pepper (11), whom I’ve raised since they were kittens. I also have experience caring for cats with health conditions, including lymphoma, so I understand the patience, attention, and extra love sick pets need. I often help friends care for their dogs, too, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Your pet will be treated like family! My work hours are flexible, so I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I'm generally available for boarding on weekends and for drop-in visits or walks on weekdays, with mornings and evenings working best. I'll always confirm exact availability when you reach out. Once your pet is with me, they get my full attention — regular potty breaks, playtime, and walks are all built into my day. Your pet's safety comes first in my home. I have a cat of my own, so I'm comfortable with both dogs and cats, and I keep a calm, clean, pet-friendly space — pets are never left alone for long stretches. I follow your feeding, walk, and litter box routines exactly as instructed (plus any medication), and I'll send regular photo updates so you always know your furry friend is happy and well cared for.
“Lizbeth was personable and professional, and we felt comfortable leaving our two pups in her care at our home. Everything went smoothly, no issues were reported, and she stayed in communication throughout the sitting session, which we really appreciated. We would definitely recommend her and plan to use her services again in the near future.”

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Union Beach walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Union Beach maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 , 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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
