“Our beagle gets very emotional when he's not with the family. However, he seemed at ease and very comfortable with Lorrie right away! I loved the short clips she sent us every day showing our little guy having a great time.”
“William was so nice with Silver, he cared for my dog like he was his own! Willian provided updates and photos everyday, his dog Whiskey is also amazing too! I would definitely recommend .”
“Rachel is amazing. She is very accommodating and she really took great care of Chloe for 2 weeks. She's a lifesaver. She got along great with George and Chloe fit right in with them. It gave me a huge piece of mind knowing how well she was cared for. I highly recommend Rachel to watch your loved one. She's great”
“Bob was wonderful to our nervous little pup! He made sure she was well taken care of and she felt very much at home at his place. Would definitely have her stay again!”

“Susana was very sweet with our dog. She cared for him as if he were her very own. She pampered him and showed so much love that I was worried he wouldn’t want to come home (lol). She provided daily pics and updates which meant a lot to us. I would definitely recommend. Thanks so much for taking such good care of our sweet boy!”
“The best dog sitter that anybody could ever have. He’s very loving to my animals. He does all extra things that I don’t ask him to do like baths. I do believe he plays with them and has a good time with them and makes them feel at home. I know if she’s watching them that they’re safe.”
About: Hi ☺️ my name is Dennisse and I have lots of experience taking care of pets, including my 11 year old cat Flame and my 10 year old Labrador mix Muff! I love all animals and promise to give them tons of love during my visits and walks! One of my favorite parts of the day is walking my dog Muff because we both get some much needed exercise and we walk a different route everyday because you know walking the same route and smelling the same things everyday can be boring so I gotta mix it up to keep him entertained. I want to spread the love and care to other pets so here I am creating a Rover profile because my boyfriend said I can’t have any more pets 😅. Thank you for reading and I hope you have a fantastic day! I work from home three times a week and my fiancé is home the other two so there is always someone here to watch the fur babies. I usually take my dog for a long walk once a day and we play in the yard as well. I like to maintain the pet’s routine as much as possible because that reduces anxiety and allows the pet to trust me and feel happy. I like to play with cats and dogs and take dogs out for walks or do a scavenger hunt in the backyard to tire them out so they can sleep peacefully at night.
About: I let sit for my sister and my god parents all the time! I spent time with their cats and dogs have taken care of them all! They love when they favorite human me watch them and we have a lot of fun together! I work 6am-2:30pm and home on the weekends and every evenings ! I would plan my schedule accordingly to make sure that they are well cared for and that they are not by themselves for any length of time! I would provide a great experience for all of who is involved! I look after them as they were my own and with care and love! They will be fed walked played with care and respect! I look after them individually and as a group and will provide support to them when needed!
“Michelle and her family are awesome taking care of our beagle. Communication with her is fast and easy. We recommend her and would board our beagle with her again in the future!”
About: I've had pets in my home all my life and have always helped care for them. Including: dogs, rabbits, rats, lizards, and fish. Dogs have always been my favorite animal and I love caring for them by walking them in interesting places or feeding them, even sleeping with them! I finally got a dog of my own at 15 and for the past several years have walked her weekly. Now I have 2 and have learned to manage them both while walking simultaneously. I try to go on light hiking trails or to parks, switching up the location every time. I am currently free most weekends. On Fridays, I'm free after 2 PM typically, but occasionally my girlfriend will be free, in which case she can take dogs on Friday morning for boarding. Just ask and I'll let you know when I'm available on a particular Friday. In my home, my dogs are well-fed with a healthy diet of kibble twice a day, eggs in the morning, and chicken strips at night. They each get baths once every few weeks. We also always prefer they are never alone for more than a few hours at a time. If we leave even for one night, we make sure we have someone visit them every few hours for feeding and letting out. Otherwise, we make sure they feel as loved as possible with lots of petting and sitting together!

“I used Jenniffer when my original pet sitter wasn’t available to checkin on my Cheeto (cat) and I’m so glad I did. She was the best communicator. Kept me up to date with everything. I get nervousness leaving My furbabies but with her updates - my anxiety levels went way down so I was able to enjoy my vacation. She is also SUPER Sweet and thoughtful. I will definitely use her again. Thanks for everything Jenniffer- you did a wonderful job with my Cheeto 🙏🏽☺️”
About: I’ve been lucky to care for cats most of my life and have spent over 10 years fully responsible for my own. I currently live with my sweet (and opinionated) cat Henry, and I truly enjoy getting to know each cat’s personality, whether they’re playful and social or need time to warm up. I’m patient, observant, and always adjust to what each cat needs. I understand that for many cats, this is their chance to get meaningful interaction during the day, and I’m happy to give them attention, affection, and enrichment if that’s what they want, or space and quiet if that’s what they prefer. I’m comfortable administering medications and always keep litter boxes extra clean because I know how much those little details matter. I’ve also had the chance to care for other people’s pets, and I’ve built quick bonds with even the shyest cats, which is something I’m really proud of. Friends and family regularly trust me to care for their pets, and I always treat that responsibility with the care it deserves. I’ll keep you updated with photos and check-ins so you can feel confident your cat is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away.
“Allison was great with the cats and sent us updates every visit. They were good with being adaptive with how much food to put down for the cats, because my cats often decide to change their preference from wet to dry food. They cats really loved her, since they came up for scratches right from the first day. This is not usually how comfortable they are with strangers. So, what better review can there be?”
“Dominique was amazing with our cat who is not normally great with new people! In the past we had a bad experience with a different sitter, and Dominique was very reassuring that she would take very good care of our cat (which she did!) I would absolutely rebook her in the future!!”
“Bianca is an absolutely wonderful cat sitter. She looked after my cat with so much care. From the very beginning, she was highly professional, reliable, and communicative, sending regular updates and pictures that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely loves animals, and my cat warmed up to her immediately. I highly recommend Bianca to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter, and I will definitely be hiring her again in the future! Bianca, thank you very much!”
“Oh my gosh…Alex is absolutely the best!! We were gone for almost 3 weeks and leaving our shelter cat for the first time. Alex made us feel so at ease and provided the best care. Communicate was A+++. I truly think Olivia is going to miss her visits!!”
“Allison took very good care of my cat. He felt comfortable with her from the start and he’s normally afraid when someone comes in and he runs. She’s sent pictures everyday which made me feel good!”
“maribeth is amazing! samoas was so excited to see her and absolutely loved their walk around the development. she does a great job staying in touch and providing updates throughout the visit. i highly recommend her if you ever need a sitter, especially for last minute help!”
“Dawn took great care of mitzu kitty while we were on vacation. Came every day and even helped with plants and packages. Will definetly be using Dawn next time we travel. Thanks!!!”
“I was very happy with the care that Kimberly provided for my three cats. She was thorough with the daily report and supplied me with pictures every day which were great! The time she was there worked out for daily feedings. Everything was perfect. I will definitely have Kimberly take care of my cats next time I am away. I highly recommend her!”
“Jamie watched our 2 Himalayan cats and when we got home everything was just perfect. They were happy babies, which proved their routine continued uninterrupted. We loved getting all the pictures of them while we traveled! I look forward having her when our next travel happens!”
About: I have taken care of neighbors dogs, our friends dogs, and our own dogs for as long as i can remember. I love animals. I grew up having all different animals in the house, so I have much experience with them, and would love to take care of other local fur friends. I currently work from home, so I’m super flexible! I am available any day of the week for drop ins, and walks. Whichever you prefer! I care for fur friends in others homes by always keeping their animals safe, fed, and loved as if their owner was there with them.
About: I have taken care of neighbors and friends cats while away. i have two cats of my own and they are my best friends. i can administer medication as my own cat is on medication. i love to play with them and give them all my love and attention.
About: Hi, I have lots of experience taking care of cats. I have a 11 year old cat and I have taken care of all my friends, family and neighbors cats for years. I can feed them wet food, dry food, scoop the litter, play laser (and with other toys) and give them so much love or as much as they allow me to lol. I am comfortable giving oral medication to your cat if needed because my cat takes one everyday.
“I would leave more stars if I could! Lily did a FANTASTIC job caring for my 2 cats while I was away. My cats eat only wet food, several times a day, so automatic feeders had to be set up daily. Lily did a great job following the instructions on how to feed them and it was nice returning from a long weekend away to a clean home- clean cat bowls, clean litter box, clean eating area, etc! I cannot thank Lily enough and I will be hiring her again soon!”
“Ella is the best sitter I have ever found!!! She gives my baby lots of cuddles and kisses, plays with her, and sends me so many photos and videos! She made communicating very easy and she’s just the sweetest girl! I’m excited to have her come back again!”
“everything went exceptionally well with Kevin taking care of Darla and River. Kevin was punctual, followed instructions that were left and interacted with the dogs extremely well. I give him 5 STARS and will use him when his services are required in the future.”

“Kevin is the best! My anxious cavapoo Cleo, absolutely loves staying with him! She is always so happy and relaxed with him! Kevin is incredibly kind, easygoing, and flexible, which makes coordinating everything so stress-free. His communication is always clear and consistent, and I never have to worry when Cleo is with him. The biggest thing for me is how comfortable and happy Cleo feels in his care! Highly, highly recommend Kevin!”
“Alley took amazing care of our dog Libby. She was communicative and thoughtful. She gave Libby puzzle toys and lick mats for some stimulation while it was too cold to play outside. Would highly recommend”
“Sara takes really good care of Winnie. I know this from the way Winnie runs up the driveway to meet her every morning. He is usually nervous around other dogs but Sara dealt with that like a pro. Now he has dog friends at Sara’s that he enjoys being with.”
“Lorrie was SUCH a help to watch our pup in short notice and was so understanding to adjust her schedule to help us. Reina always has a blast with Lorrie and we cannot wait to bring her back to Lorrie’s real soon!”
“I'm retired, so my dog is with me most of the time and I've only left her on her own for short periods. I needed to leave her for several hours, so I was looking for a sitter to take care of her during my absence. I found Erin on Rover and all her reviews were 5 star and spoke highly of her. Plus, she was only a short car ride away. We had our meet and greet and Erin was everything and more that her reviews claimed, so I booked with her. My dog had the time of her life during her stay with Erin! Erin took my dog with her when she went to drop off and later pick up her daughter at the school bus stop and my dog, who loves people, was in her element meeting all the other kids and their parents. My dog spent the rest of the day playing with Erin's too-young-for-school son, who did a great job tiring my dog out and she slept all the way on the car ride home! Erin, her husband Nicholas and their two young children treated my dog just like she was their own and took wonderful care of her. I highly recommend Erin.”
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.
“Christina was awesome! It was my first time using a sitter from the rove app and she couldn’t have made the experience any better. I felt completely comfortable leaving my pup there all day! She truly was amazing, she sent photos, videos, and updates throughout the day which made me believe my pup was in great hands and indeed she was. When I got to Christina’s house to pick up my dog she did not want to leave haha, will definitely be back!”

“Evgenii was very responsive and reliable. I booked last minute and he communicated with me before I dropped my dog off and sent me messages and pictures when I checked in. I highly recommend Evgenii.”
“Jonathan was excellent. He introduced my dog to his own dogs so that they can get comformtable around each other since my dog is afraid of big dogs. Jonathan kept updating me throughout the day with pictures and text messages. I was very happy with the service and care my pet got from Jonathan and will definitely go back to them in futuure.”

I can also provide some minor training reinforcement for puppies or young dogs learning new skills and/or tricks. 🐾 Tips are APPRECIATED!!! 🐾 I work from home! 🙌🏾 So my schedule is flexible and allows me to be able to work with and respond to clients in a timely manner. My home is fenced. All pets remain on the property unless they are taken for walks. I also will let clients know about overlaps in booking wih animals.

“Sarah was so great! She took wonderful care of Lady and was very easy to get in touch with. She bonded with Lady quickly and made sure she was well taken care of. I would highly recommend her if you ever need a dog sitter, walker, etc. Thank you Sarah!”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care, attention, and trust I bring to every pet I watch. I’ve cared for friends’, neighbors’, and clients’ pets both in my home and during overnight stays, so I’m very comfortable adapting to each pet’s routine and environment. I have experience with a wide range of needs, including administering medications and injections, and I’m attentive to any changes in behavior or health. Whether it’s an energetic puppy who needs structure and play, or a senior pet who requires a gentler, more patient approach, I tailor my care to what makes them feel safest and happiest. I also prioritize communication, making sure owners feel at ease with regular updates and photos. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free while their owners are away. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so it’s not something I try to “fit in”, it’s something I intentionally make time for and build my routine around. My approach to pet care is always tailored to each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their pet’s normal schedule to keep things as stress-free as possible. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions the owner provides. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise, while also keeping their environment clean and secure. I’m respectful of the home and aim to leave everything just as I found it. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, calm, and comfortable environment where they can feel relaxed and at ease. I keep a consistent routine for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime, and I make sure they get lots of supervision and affection throughout the day.
“Dawn is the best! Benny is our first ever pup as a family, so we were very nervous leaving him for the first time overnight, but Dawn took care of our dog with exceptional care and love. Communication was great from the start. She is responsive, provides regular updates, sends adorable photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away from him, and even gave our puppy a bone to play with that helped with his teething problem. It’s clear that she genuinely enjoys spending time with animals, especially ours ☺️ and we will definitely be using her services again in the future. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”

“Jennifer is friendly and reliable. Our dogs love her and she has formed a great bond with them! They are always happy to see her. We are so grateful and happy to find such a wonderful and caring person to take care of our babies.”
“So damn fortunate to have found Bianca. As pet owners, everyone is familiar with the apprehension that accompanies when you have to trust a stranger with your pets or like I say “Your Heart and Soul”. My boys are uber spoiled and Bianca’s level of patience with them….I couldn’t ask for anything more. She is communicative, punctual, extremely professional. She took the time to truly listen and understand Buddy and Brody’s personalities - their likes and dislikes - their joys and anxieties. As a pet owner, one can’t ask for anything more. The only aspect that behooves me is why does she not charge more for her services? Lol. All kidding aside, she is a Godsend for pet owners. B, once again thank you for you.”

I am the owner of Outreach Dog Walking LLC. I’m a college student with flexible availability. The only times I’m unavailable are Tuesdays before 1 PM and Thursdays.

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
“Dina was absolutely incredible! Her knowledge and experience working with labs (and large dogs), was very comforting for my fiancee and myself, as our chocolate lab is just shy of 100LBs. Dina was always on time, and we know that her time spent with Luca was never rushed. She spent more than 30 minutes with Luca on each of her visits; walking him around the neighborhood multiple times in a single visit - something no other walker has previously done for him. Additionally, Dina took the time to send us photos of our baby throughout her visits - which we all loved to see. Luca told us that he loved Dina and that he'd prefer for her to watch him during our future travels... I think she told him about her pool! Jonathan”

About: Hi, I’m Lauren! I was a proud dog mom to two amazing girl dogs until recently, and I truly miss the joy of caring for a dog. While my family isn’t ready to have another of our own just yet, I’d love to help others by spending time with their furry family members. When I was young, I worked as a Seeing Eye Dog trainer, which gave me years of experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable with everything from playful puppies to older companions who just want a calm walk and a cuddle. Whether you need drop-ins, walks, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your pup feels loved, safe, and right at home while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule. Typcailly I work from home on Wednesdays and always Fridays. On the work from home days, I don't start until 10AM so I am free in the mornings and will take my lunch for the afternoon walks. In our home, we have an enclosed deck. Gate if needed to avoid the stairs. Nothing on the ground to chew. Pet free home. In other homes, I am always wondering where the pup is. I ensure to keep a close eye if they tend to be a trouble maker.
About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes and cats of all temperament (; I am available weekday evenings, preferably with notice, and weekends.

I am based in Keyport, NJ and am more likely to be able to accommodate short notice requests close by. Please message with any questions! I currently offer care in YOUR home due to my lease agreement. I am very friendly and dogs really love my high pitched voice lol!
About: I have had dogs my whole life, some being high energy who play all day and some low energy who love to just cuddle and relax. Ive had 4 different breeds, from Pitbulls, Labradors, Huskies, and a German Shepherd. I know what it takes to make a dog feel at home and loved even if their owner isn't home. I love dogs more than most of the human in the world and trust me when I say your dog will miss me when I leave. I currently am searching for a job post college and waiting to enter a Police Academy in the coming winter. So I am available almost everyday and almost all day. I do have a dog at home that I take care of so if She needs to be walked I will do her separately. I have a energetic Husky at home so I know all about the high energy dogs, when I lived with my parents I had 2 couch potatoes so I know the best of both worlds. I love walking and running myself so having a furry friend with me just makes it even better.

Rest assured I will take care of your pets with the utmost responsibility while making your animals feel comfortable and loved.

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: I have grown up with dogs, so I can walk, feed, bathe and play with as needed. I have always aspired to be a vet ever since I can remember. Now, I am an Animal Science major with a pre-vet track in college, ready to gain more time and experience with animals in order to get to my future goals! I am a full-time Veterinary Assistant working 4 days a week until 6pm, so let me know ahead of time what days and times you would need as my schedule can vary. I am experienced with walking dogs who can be a lot to handle on the leash. Therefore, either a fenced in yard or a dog walk will work just fine with me.
About: As a part-time nurse, I spend my days caring for people in a fast-paced environment, so on my days off I love slowing things down by caring for dogs instead.

About: Hi ☺️ my name is Dennisse and I have lots of experience taking care of pets, including my 11 year old cat Flame and my 10 year old Labrador mix Muff! I love all animals and promise to give them tons of love during my visits and walks! One of my favorite parts of the day is walking my dog Muff because we both get some much needed exercise and we walk a different route everyday because you know walking the same route and smelling the same things everyday can be boring so I gotta mix it up to keep him entertained. I want to spread the love and care to other pets so here I am creating a Rover profile because my boyfriend said I can’t have any more pets 😅. Thank you for reading and I hope you have a fantastic day! I work from home three times a week and my fiancé is home the other two so there is always someone here to watch the fur babies. I usually take my dog for a long walk once a day and we play in the yard as well. I like to maintain the pet’s routine as much as possible because that reduces anxiety and allows the pet to trust me and feel happy. I like to play with cats and dogs and take dogs out for walks or do a scavenger hunt in the backyard to tire them out so they can sleep peacefully at night.

I look after them individually and as a group and will provide support to them when needed!
“Neli is great! We cannot recommend her enough! She took good care of our dog Toby and sent us regular updates, videos and photos. She communicated any concerns punctually which gave us peace of mind. Her house is super clean and she has a nice backyard with a small fence which was great for our little dog. Toby came home so happy and relaxed. We will definitely book her again.”
About: I've had pets in my home all my life and have always helped care for them. Including: dogs, rabbits, rats, lizards, and fish. Dogs have always been my favorite animal and I love caring for them by walking them in interesting places or feeding them, even sleeping with them! I finally got a dog of my own at 15 and for the past several years have walked her weekly. Now I have 2 and have learned to manage them both while walking simultaneously. I try to go on light hiking trails or to parks, switching up the location every time. I am currently free most weekends. On Fridays, I'm free after 2 PM typically, but occasionally my girlfriend will be free, in which case she can take dogs on Friday morning for boarding. Just ask and I'll let you know when I'm available on a particular Friday. In my home, my dogs are well-fed with a healthy diet of kibble twice a day, eggs in the morning, and chicken strips at night. They each get baths once every few weeks. We also always prefer they are never alone for more than a few hours at a time. If we leave even for one night, we make sure we have someone visit them every few hours for feeding and letting out. Otherwise, we make sure they feel as loved as possible with lots of petting and sitting together!
