“Merideth was great, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust my pet with her again. She walked him regularly, sent photos, and kept us updated on how things were going the whole time.”
“My little guy came home so happy. He had plenty of stimulation with the other dogs that were there and the ton of room they had as their own to run around in, both inside and out. He came home and slept until the next day. Thanks Corrine!”
“Very responsive, sends lots of pictures. Our dog was nervous but he kept us updated which was very comforting. Fraizer had a great time & was very happy when we picked him up.”
“This was the first time my husband and I left Lindi for a week and we are so grateful she was with Tom. He sent us pictures and updates and really eased our minds. He is truly a dog lover and we couldn’t be more pleased!”
“Patricia was excellent. She responded to my request very quickly, and was able to watch Teeko that very weekend. Went for a meet and greet to meet her and Jagger after our request, and had no trouble scheduling that even within a small timeframe. Patricia was very patient with Teeko as he got to know Jagger, and as he was his usual hyper husky self pacing around the house and sniffing every thing during the meet and greet. She is a confident dog sitter, easy to work with, and very kind hearted. She sent us a really cute picture of Teeko enjoying his stay, which we really enjoyed seeing during our little weekend trip. Her adult daughter was helpful as well, and took Teeko for a nice walk which of course makes Teeko a very happy camper. I highly recommend Patty and definitely plan to use her again in the future!”
“Cara took wonderful care of our dog! Cara communicated before his stay and sent photos and updates during his stay. Spanky came home calm and happy! Highly recommend Cara and we are so grateful to have found her!”

“Lisa was amazing! We had to make last minute adjustments for a trip out of the country for my Ella to stay with her. She was patient and understanding. The best part is when I went to pick my girl up after not seeing her for 10 days, she was still herself. It's obvious that Lisa has a love for animals. I would recommend to anyone :)”

I absolutely would recommend Kerri and will have her again to take care of the cats in the future.”
About: I’ve been around cats my entire life and truly love their unique personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their cats while away, from playful kittens to shy senior cats. As a nurse, I’m naturally attentive, patient, and detail-oriented, and I’ll always make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for.
“Sam recently watched our cat Chloe at her home while we were away.. She's terrific! She responds quickly and kept in touch every day. Chloe came home safe and secure. I definitely recommend Sam.”
About: Need a responsible adult to take care of your fur babies? Going away for the weekend and need someone to feed the cats & check on the house? Heading out after work but need to let the dog out? (Cue the music...)That's me! I grew up with dogs and a hamster, then adopted 2 cats out of college. Now married with 2 children, we are sharing our lives and home with our elderly German-Shorthaired-Point (adopted in 2010). In addition, I have helped my neighbors by taking their dogs for walks and dropping in to feed their 3 cats while they were away for the weekend. Spending time with animals makes my heart happy. Please consider me to help care for your pet. I am currently offering drop-in visits or Dog-Walking. I have a full-time job September to June (Monday - Friday), so my availability is on the weekends. However, July & August, I am available 7 days a week. I am currently offering drop in visits or dog-walking. My goal is to follow all directions provided, especially in maintaining routines, ensuring safety through secured environments, and providing some time for companionship. Key tasks by the pet owner can include feeding, administering medication, exercising, and cleaning up any messes. I will also maintain communication with the pet owner with updates.
About: I am an energetic, fit, happy, mature and reliable work from home mom of a 12yo dog. I have been sitting for friends and family for decades. I am looking to add some more dog happiness to my life by helping you with your dog care, sitting, walking (jogging), and playing needs. I have lots more love and affection to share and plenty of flexibility in my schedule to fill in the gaps for you and your pup. I can't wait to meet them and you! Boarding in my home will be limited to just your dog(s) so that your pet(s) and mine are receiving the attention and love they deserve. I am not currently working full time so I have flexibility to spend time and bond with your precious fur baby - no skimping on the attention! I have a large fenced yard and a dog door for my own boy (and we go for lots of walks too). We love to snuggle on the couch and play freely. It is a very loving and fun environment.
About: I have had dogs my entire life so I have always looked after and cared for them. I also frequently dog sit for friends and family members. I work remotely so I am very flexible and am able to accommodate your needs. I have an open schedule on weekends and after work. I am able to follow instructions clearly and create a comfortable environment. I can help with any of your needs, including walking, feeding, and playing!
About: I got my first animal when I was 3 years old, a cat named Theodore Roosevelt. Since then I’ve had 2 dogs and another cat personally. But as anyone in my close inner circle would tell you, I have been entrusted by friends and family to care for their animals as well. I’m trusted because they know my love for animals and that I’ll keep them safe and make sure they’re loved! I have a full time work from home position which allows my schedule to be very flexible. Unfortunately my apartment building does not allow any pets so I cannot have pets at my apartment, but I’m more than happy to fit into your schedule and stay for extended periods of time if needed including overnight! I just need my laptop and charger if it’s a weekday :) I will follow any instructions you provide. I’m familiar providing care to puppies as well as senior dogs. One of my current dogs now is 11 years old so I understand the need for important medications, etc.
“We have a big, strong German Shepherd. We needed someone who could handle him and who he was comfortable around. At our initial meet and greet we knew Jonathan was that person! Moose took to him right away and Jonathan was able to get Moose to calm down and listen to him. Jonathan came today for three walks. He had no trouble getting Moose in and out of his crate, feeding him, walking and playing with him. When we got home this afternoon Moose was calm…and tired! Jonathan sent updates and photos during all three visits and it was easy to see how well they were getting along. Moose can be reactive to cars, dogs, etc. on his walks and Jonathan let me know about Moose’s behavior and handled him without trouble. I highly recommend Jonathan!”
“We cannot recommend Alixandra enough! Our two cats are incredibly timid and usually hide from everyone — even my boyfriend, who’s been trying to win them over for two years. But somehow, Alixandra worked her magic! Not only did they come out of hiding, but they also hung out with her and even let her pet them. That’s a huge accomplishment and speaks volumes about her calm, patient energy and genuine love for animals. She’s a true cat whisperer, and we’re so grateful to have found her!”
“Rachel was absolutely amazing with my Stella girl. I can’t say enough good things. She sent me updates, videos and pictures which I absolutely loved. Stella was very standoffish at first but Rachel was very patient and they finally became friends. I highly recommend Rachel for anyone that is looking for a pet sitter. She is a true animal lover.”
About: Teaching special needs takes special care and attention for students and animals, dogs are humans to me. I'm experienced with therapy dogs as well. I have the utmost patience! I have the house to provide care and attention for all dogs, along with the time. My two sons are young teens who love dogs, cats, and animals too! I love to be active indoors and outdoors, especially since I have a big fenced in yard that provides much play space for any dog.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I’ve raised my own pup since she was just 8 weeks old. Because of that, I’m really comfortable with routines, structure, and all the day-to-day things that help dogs feel secure. I’m not a professional trainer, but I’ve trained my family’s dogs over the years and I’m always happy to keep up with whatever training plan you already have in place. I’ve also had the incredible experience of fostering multiple dogs, which has deepened my love for animals and taught me how to adapt to different personalities and needs. I love getting dogs outside; beach walks, park trips, or just a good sniff-filled stroll around the block. And if your dog enjoys car rides, I’m completely comfortable driving them where they need to go. At the end of the day, I treat every dog like they’re my own: with patience, structure, and a whole lot of love. I’m currently in nursing school and Im a certified yoga instructor, but caring for my own dog is a built-in part of my day. No matter how busy things get, I make time for her walks, her routine, and her little moments of attention, and I bring that same consistency to any dog I’m watching. I’m a pretty active person by nature, so if I’m not in class or teaching a yoga session, I’m usually out getting some fresh air in some way, and having a dog with me just makes it better! Whether it’s a quick neighborhood stroll or a longer outing, I’m always happy to get a pup out and moving. In my home, dogs have access to a fully fenced yard where they can safely explore, play, and get their energy out. I always keep an eye on them during playtime so everything stays safe and comfortable! I’m totally fine handling feeding routines and using crates if that’s part of what your dog is used to, especially when I step out of the house. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick to whatever routines you already have in place. If your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing indoors, I’ll match that! I focus on making your pet feel secure and at ease in their own space, and I stay attentive to their needs so they have a calm and positive experience while you’re away.
About: I’ve had a dogs in my family my whole life, and love dogs of all breeds. I help Family, friends neighbors care for their dogs when they aren’t home.

I have a flexible work schedule and am available to care for my dog and yours all day, everyday with morning and afternoon walks and many chances to go out in the backyard to play. We live down the street from the park, have a fully fenced yard, an9 year old golden retriever who loves all dogs and is very very chill. My husband and I have 3 daughters, 1 in college and 1 In high school and 1 in middle school and they love dogs and have been around dogs since They were born.
“Adrianna went above and beyond my expectations! Ruby and Pearl are so well adjusted I’m not sure they missed me. Adrianna did everything I asked in caring for the girls food, water, attention, litter box and my home is clean as the day I left! She updated me daily while I was away so I could see how happy Ruby and Pearl were while I was on vacation. This means a lot so I was able to relax. I would highly recommend Adrianna!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and have experience dog sitting for friends and family. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and treat every dog as if they were my own, providing plenty of attention, patience, and care. Here’s a professional response you can use on Rover: I recently transitioned away from my full-time job, which means I now have a very flexible schedule and much more availability for pet care. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, daycare, boarding, and last-minute requests throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. Caring for pets is my priority, so I can provide reliable, attentive care and work with your schedule to meet your pet’s needs. I look forward to giving every pet the love, attention, and exercise they deserve! I will care for your dog according to their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and at home. This includes feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention and affection. If your dog is crate-trained, I can safely crate them when needed and follow any specific instructions you provide. My goal is to make sure every dog in my care feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
“Pam was outstanding!!! She has two very friendly pups who loved to play with our dog. She accommodated us on short notice for daycare. Her yard is perfect and fully fenced in for playtime. She sent lots of pictures throughout his time there. Would highly recommend her!!”
About: Trusting a sitter with your fur children is hard!! I take pride in knowing I provide the utmost care for animals. I love them much more than I love humans. I work remotely during the day so I will be home all day if boarding with me. I have 1 very silly very lazy rescue French bulldog and 3 very playful cats. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, puppies, kittens, seniors. I love to be outside and will get your dog any exercise you want them to have. My pets get along very well together in the house. They are the boss of me! I can drop in at mostly any times, schedule is flexible.

Lots of playtime, treats if permitted, walks, couch cuddle time, fresh food and water, time to decompress, lots of pets. If boarding, they can sleep in the bed if they want to.
“We had a great experience with Luz. She’s very friendly kind and compassionate about dogs. She was very flexible with the drop off and pick up time. Her home is very lovely and clean and you can tell she cares about the animals. She sent us many pictures and videos to update us on Willow’s stay. We will definitely use her services again. Thank you Luz!”
“Vincent has been watching my 3 year old labradoodle for a couple weeks during the days while I go into an office. He is so kind and great with her- he is very responsible and communicative. I feel very comfortable leaving my dog with him.”

I have watched many dogs over the years, including overnight stays. I have experience with feedings/special diets, grooming, walks, playtime, crate training, and snuggle sessions. I am an active runner, so if your little one needs a little extra exercise, I love running with dogs. I work full time from home, so your dog will not be unattended for long periods of time and I can take breaks during the day for lots of walks. There will be lots of social interaction and attention given to every animal in my care. I hope to meet your fur bundle of joy soon! I work full time out of my house and can take care of your animals morning, afternoon and night. We will have lots of time for walks and play daily. I have a fenced yard and the friendliest animals that will keep your pup company. We have two small children that love animals and understand boundaries - they are great play companions as well.
About: Hi! My name is Joe Mattimoe, I’m a reliable dog walker/sitter based in beautiful Wall Township. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and over the years I’ve gained experience walking, caring for, and connecting with dogs of every breed and personality. I also have some hands-on training experience through Wild Rover K9 Services in Point Pleasant, Where I gained practical skills in handling, basic obedience, and canine behavior—allowing me to provide calm, structured, and enjoyable walks tailored to each dog. Whether your dog is energetic or prefers a gentle stroll, I offer reliable, caring service every time. Their safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, and truly passionate about dogs, I’d love to help! I make my own schedule each month and have flexibility since I am semi-retired. Once I book a dog service, my day/week/schedule revolves around that client. I have access to a fenced in yard a walk away from my home (mother-in-law) it is a good way to get another walk in and then play. I can crate, and follow owner’s directions. If your dog needs to sleep in the bed, they will. If they need to be crated or left to roam around, they will. We take care of a special needs dog who has a hard time jumping up to the bay window in our home. We take the first pillow of the couch, place it on the floor so he can jump up and get to it. We rearrange the entire living room for this little guy and he loves it. Just an example.
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.

About: I was so fortunate to grow up with pets of my own. When I was in college, I had several families who I taught piano to their children ask me to walk their dogs and also to stay at their homes while they traveled. I naturally enjoyed it, and the families started referring me to other people. I have had the opportunity to care for dogs, cays, birds, fish, bunnies, ferretts, and reptiles. I'm now a mom to 3 children who also love animals. We have a 5 year old cockapoo who thinks he's one of the kids, because he's such an important piece of our family. I have had the opportunity over the years to gain experience working with puppies and kittens through geriatric age. I have also helped families with general training to help them keep up their routine. I am not a trainer. I am however happy to utilize commands you share with me to provide the best relationship and care for your pup. I am very fortunate to have a very flexible schedule which has allowed me to grow wonderful relationships with local families I have a very flexible schedule and can usually take same day appointments. I'm happy to help however I can. I feel fortunate to have the flexible schedule that I do! I prefer to care for pets at your home. It is important to me to know all information that will keep your pet safe! What is your pet's routine like? How do they react to new people? How do they react to a new person when you're not around? Do you have a fenced in yard to play in or prefer only a leashed walk? What are words that you use when another dog is approaching or if you don't want your dog to try to chase a squirrel? Do you provide positive reinforcement? Are you currently working on any training? Has your dog ever shown aggression? How friendly is your dog with other dogs? These are some examples of the things it is very important for us to discuss so that I can ensure I am fully prepared for any situation as your pup and I become new friends and get to know each other.

About: Lifelong cat expert and passionate dog sitter! Even though I’ve grown up, watched, and cared for cats since I was born, I have then transferred this experience to the pups around me. Whether in my family or in my close circle of friends, I extend my compassion and care to all animals In the morning when I’m up for work I feed my cats. When I have free time before I leave I play with them, and of course when I come home I give them a warm greeting. They are fed again at night and I make sure to give them all the snuggles, love, and playtime inbetween it all. My cats are STRICTLY indoor cats and do not leave the house. They are trained to run away when the door opens but Luna sometimes gets curious about outside

“Meredith was amazing, my dogs loved her! I have an 80lb Weimaraner and 26lb beagle and they aren’t the easiest dogs to walk together. My Weimaraner can be reactive to other dogs, sometimes pulls, and they both sort of go their different paces with the beagle stopping to sniff constantly. My neighbors and family that saw her out with my dogs said she handled them beautifully and we had no issues. My Weim also doesn’t love everyone he meets, and he immediately took to her, trying to lean/snuggle with Meredith, so she must give off the good vibes to animals. Meredith was also very communicative. I never worried that she wouldn’t show and an added bonus was the photos she sent. I would definitely recommend using Meredith and will use her again myself :)”

Here’s a professional response you can use on Rover: I recently transitioned away from my full-time job, which means I now have a very flexible schedule and much more availability for pet care. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, daycare, boarding, and last-minute requests throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. Caring for pets is my priority, so I can provide reliable, attentive care and work with your schedule to meet your pet’s needs. I look forward to giving every pet the love, attention, and exercise they deserve! I will care for your dog according to their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and at home. This includes feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention and affection. If your dog is crate-trained, I can safely crate them when needed and follow any specific instructions you provide. My goal is to make sure every dog in my care feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
“Five stars for John, no question! Charlie was so well taken care of — John sent us tons of cute photos and it was obvious how much he adored him. We felt completely at ease knowing Charlie was in such loving hands. Highly recommend! 🐾”
“We were very happy with Grace and she took great care of our girl while we were gone for a long day! She took our pup on a nice long walk and sent us photo updates which we very much appreciated. We will definitely use Grace again in the future.”
About: I am an energetic, fit, happy, mature and reliable work from home mom of a 12yo dog. I have been sitting for friends and family for decades. I am looking to add some more dog happiness to my life by helping you with your dog care, sitting, walking (jogging), and playing needs. I have lots more love and affection to share and plenty of flexibility in my schedule to fill in the gaps for you and your pup. I can't wait to meet them and you! Boarding in my home will be limited to just your dog(s) so that your pet(s) and mine are receiving the attention and love they deserve. I am not currently working full time so I have flexibility to spend time and bond with your precious fur baby - no skimping on the attention! I have a large fenced yard and a dog door for my own boy (and we go for lots of walks too). We love to snuggle on the couch and play freely. It is a very loving and fun environment.
“Samantha took great care of our Gokdendoodle Gracie when we were away . She sent us pictures and comments of her care. Highly recommend her to care for any of your pets. Thanks Samantha ??”
About: Dogs have been in my life forever, mine always my bestfriend. They simply bring joy to me, I can bathe, walk, feed, entertain, cuddle , and understand your pet! I am available before 5:00 PM every day except Thursday and Sunday. Pet care is already a regular part of my routine, so I can consistently make time for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and other pet care needs. For overnight stays, I just ask for at least one week’s notice whenever possible so I can coordinate my schedule and ensure I can give your pet the attention and care they deserve. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. As the primary caretaker for my dog, Bear, I make time every day for walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure he gets plenty of attention. My schedule is flexible enough to accommodate pet visits, walks, and overnight care, and I enjoy spending time with animals as part of my week. This makes caring for other pets feel natural and rewarding for me.
“Pamela did a great job walking our 2yr old German Shepherd while we were out of town. It was a huge relief to have such a reliable and experienced dog owner taking care of our girl!”
About: I have 3 Shih Tzu’s. I also have been working for a Professional dog walking company. I have watched 3 dogs at my home for weeks at a time when a couple of my friends go away. I’m retired after working more then 30 years at Brick Township High School. I love dogs! I have a flexible schedule as of right now. I’m walking a few dogs a week for a Company. I’m retired. Looking too keep busy and get my walking in also. I have a truck so snow and rain will not stop me. I’m very experienced walking dogs and ensuring they are safe. I’ve walked big strong Labs and small dogs also. I am trust worthy and could House sit/dog sit if required. I also have gone to homes 4 times a day while a client is away and walk them/feed them, etc.
About: Hi, I’m Alix, a lifelong animal lover with 20+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve had the joy of raising a big, lovable Bouvier, two adorable Yorkies—one had diabetes who needed daily insulin shots—and I’ve shared my home with a playful Frenchie. Now, I live with two Bouviers and a very spoiled Tuxedo cat, so I’m no stranger to dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities! I know how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust, and I’ll treat your furry family like my own. Whether it’s belly rubs, playtime, or a leisurely stroll, I’m here to make their day the best it can be. It’s a pet’s life, and I’m lucky to be living in it! I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule. I can care for your furry friend at any time during the weekdays and weekends too. Pets I care for get regular feeding or feeding based on dietary needs, along with regular exercise. They always have access to drinking water. I take them out to the bathroom regularly and ensure they either have a safe fenced in area to play or walk them on a leash. I take dogs I care for a walk to maintain exercise. I always ensure to have the number of their vet for any emergencies. I also make sure to give them plenty of love!!
“Had the pleasure of Johnathan walking my boy Kingston today. I always tend to get a bit nervous due to the stigma behind his breed & people who have underlining fear but Johnathan was confident and reassuring that he could handle my big boy who is very loving but is heavy lol. He came back very happy with a big dorky wet smile , I would absolutely recommend especially if you have big dogs who like to tug a bit on the leash 🙏🏽❤️”
About: I got my first animal when I was 3 years old, a cat named Theodore Roosevelt. Since then I’ve had 2 dogs and another cat personally. But as anyone in my close inner circle would tell you, I have been entrusted by friends and family to care for their animals as well. I’m trusted because they know my love for animals and that I’ll keep them safe and make sure they’re loved! I have a full time work from home position which allows my schedule to be very flexible. Unfortunately my apartment building does not allow any pets so I cannot have pets at my apartment, but I’m more than happy to fit into your schedule and stay for extended periods of time if needed including overnight! I just need my laptop and charger if it’s a weekday :) I will follow any instructions you provide. I’m familiar providing care to puppies as well as senior dogs. One of my current dogs now is 11 years old so I understand the need for important medications, etc.
About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life and am always patient when it comes to caring for pets. I also frequently dog sit and dog walk for family friends. I am a college student home for the summer and am extremely flexible when it comes to drop in times. I am available weekdays and weekends and can work with you to find the most convenient time to care for your pets. I am very active throughout the day so I am happy to take your dog on long walks or play with them until they get tired!
About: Hi! I’m Amanda, a nurse and lifelong animal lover who is brand new to Rover and so excited to be here. Caring for others has always been a huge part of who I am, both professionally and personally, and that same level of compassion, patience, and attentiveness carries over into the way I care for pets. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family members. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and anxious, or needs a little extra patience and TLC, I’m happy to meet them where they are and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a nurse, safety, reliability, and attention to detail are second nature to me. I take caring for pets very seriously, from secure leashes and locked gates to making sure routines, medications, feeding schedules, and special instructions are followed closely. I know how nerve wracking it can feel leaving your pets with someone new, so my goal is to give you peace of mind while giving your pets lots of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy making time for pet care throughout my week. I work as a nurse, so being dependable, communicative, and attentive comes naturally to me. I’m excited to be starting my journey on Rover and look forward to building lasting relationships with both pets and their owners Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I pay close attention to details like secure leashes, closed gates, feeding instructions, medications, and routines to make sure every pet is safe and cared for. As a nurse and lifelong animal lover, I understand how important trust is when leaving your pets with someone, and I’ll care for them like they’re my own.

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.

“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!”

“When we met Carly and family , they immediately made us feel that Logan would be nothing but well taken care of and loved. When we returned to pick her up we knew that she had a great time and that she loved her stay. Carly and family walked Logan several times a day and even had her join the family in watching the basketball finals. They are truly a wonderful family worthy of your pets care.”
