“Christine was absolutely wonderful with Lilly during her 3-night stay! She was so diligent about sending regular updates and pictures, which gave me total peace of mind. She treated her as her own and Lilly looked so happy in every photo and came home calm and relaxed. Christine genuinely cares for pets, and I highly recommend her! I will definitely be a return customer.”
“Corrine was our first experience using Rover and we were incredibly happy with the experience. Our 7 month old shepherd mix is a pretty shy girl, but her and the kids immediately got her warmed up and out of her shell playing and generally being comfortable. Corrine regularly updated us about how she was doing and sent us a bunch of pictures throughout the stay. We would 100% hire Corrine again. Your pup will be with a very attentive and loving family!”
“Avigail was great with our dogs and they loved staying with her! She sent us pics throughout the day and kept us posted about everything. They came back home so tired from all the playing 😂 Definitely recommend her :)”
“Cara is very caring and an excellent communicator. She has a neat, clean home & a very friendly small dog who readily accepted our 24lb cockapoo. When we returned to her home after the Meet & Greet, our pooch was happily whining & immediately laid on the floor & stretched wagging his tail. He was thoroughly happy when we retrieved him several days later, Cara even cleaned his ears when she saw he had ear discomfort, Highly recommend her.”
“What an amazing family! Our 1 year old doggie spent 10 days with Ashley while we were on vacation !Piper was so well cared for….. just like ishe was their own doggie! We just picked her up and she was so happy! We highly recommend Ashley to care for your doggie!”
“We were hesitant about leaving Max with anyone while we took a vacation. After meeting Carol we we were reassured. She really put us at ease by sending pictures and a video of Max out for a walk. He was well taken care of and we could relax and enjoy ourselves. We will definitely book with Carol again when we need a sitter for Max. Thank you!!”
“Thomas was a wonderful sitter and treated Zoey like she was her owner. We felt very comfortable leaving her there over the weekend. So sad he can’t watch her for our next trip.”
“Arlene was a pleasure to leave my fur baby with for a few days. She stayed in constant contact with me and sent photos daily. Will definitely reach out again to her if we need a sitter again!”
“Mark was perfect for my fur babie he’s 14 and moves a little on the slow side sometimes. Mark was very patient And Keisel came home in great shape. Will definitely Use Mark again . My wife couldn’t be happier with him.”
“Nicole is always available and flexible when I need her. Zara gets plenty of exercise, she is always tuckered out when she visits Nicole’s. Nicole understands dog behavior so she doesn’t get upset when Zara gets a wild hair and eats her shoes.Her family understands they are not responsible for Zara’s care so they help out when they can by loading and unloading Zara’s gear in the car.”
“Christine and her family took excellent care of our Sugar and Ella while we were away. She updated us frequently with texts and pictures.As a rescue dog, Sugar is normally very tentative and shy. Sugar came home a new girl. She is even greeting strangers without fear! Ella had an issue with her ears while we were away, and Christine quickly reached out to us to treat it.They both were happy and healthy when we returned.”
“We had such a great experience with MJ! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about our dog. We received regular updates with pictures, and she even sent our dog home with a sweet note. We would absolutely trust MJ again to watch our dog, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for one!”

“From our first communication, Kristin was responsive and thoughtful. She offered a meet-and-greet and we took her up on it. Scout was at home immediately and I felt comfortable booking right away. We were gone for 8 days, which is a long time to leave your your little furry one. Kristin shared regular updates, often enough so that every time I thought about how she was doing, there was a picture of her face - safe and happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Kristin and would definitely ask for her help again if the whole family is traveling.”

“Lisa Marie was fantastic with my boys! She sent me pics at every drop in and by the end even my less affectionate cat was loving up on her. She was very communicative and gave my two cats lots of playtime and love. It felt good to know that they were well taken care of! Usually my boys are full of energy after I leave them alone for a night or two, but they were very sweet and snuggly this time since Lisa Marie kept them busy with their toys! I will definitely use Lisa Marie again in the future.”

About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for pets at every stage of life. I’ve taken care of puppies who need patience, structure, and reinforcement of basic training, energetic adult dogs who thrive on activity and routine, and senior dogs who require a gentler pace, medication awareness, and extra attentiveness. I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s specific needs, whether that means reinforcing potty training, maintaining feeding schedules, administering basic medications, or simply providing calm companionship. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I work fully remote from home and have flexibility in setting my schedule. This allows me to plan my day around walks, feedings, playtime, and any specific care needs your pet may have. I’m home throughout the day, so your pup won’t be left alone for long stretches and can receive consistent attention, bathroom breaks, and companionship. Because I structure my work independently, I can easily adjust my schedule to maintain your pet’s normal routine, whether that means early morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening wind-down time. It’s important to me that pets feel comfortable, engaged, and cared for, not just supervised.

About: For as long as I can remember, dogs have been one of the greatest joys in my life. I have been an avid dog lover my entire life and have been fortunate to raise and adopt several wonderful dogs throughout my journey. Every dog I’ve had has taught me something special, and I truly believe our pets are cherished members of the family. My life has taken me from the beautiful Pacific Northwest to spending 20 years in the California desert, and now I’m excited to call the Toms River, New Jersey area home. One of my favorite things about living here is enjoying the incredible wildlife and beautiful scenery on long walks. I currently share my home with two senior rescue dogs who absolutely love their daily walks. Caring for senior dogs has given me experience with patience, gentle handling, and understanding that every dog has unique needs, routines, and personalities. Whether your pet needs a dependable sitter while you’re away, plenty of cuddles and companionship, or an enjoyable walk filled with fresh air and new sights, I’ll care for them with the same love, attention, and respect that I give my own dogs. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy—and to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member and look forward to making lots of new four-legged friends here in the Toms River community! I work remotely and can tailor my schedule around other commitments easily. It is not a problem for me to leave my work for a few hours to tend to a pets needs. I am highly responsible and will watch over your fur baby as I watch over my own. I have never had a lost pet or had a pet escape my presence. I have completed dog training courses and know how to responsibly handle a pet.
“Sophia is the absolute best! My dogs can be tough and she took time to make them comfortable, and was so sweet to them. She sent many cute pics and videos which was so nice for me to see while I am away. I’m definitely rebooking and so thrilled with my experience. I highly recommend!”
About: I love having a job where I get to make new animal friends! I would love to show your animal(s) that fun and safety can be assured even when their humans are away. I have spent my whole life around animals of varying species. I love to get to know each personality of every animal. The safety of every animal is my top priority at all times. That does not limit the amount of friendship, socialization and care I can provide for your animals. I grew up around dogs, cats, birds and fish. In the last few years I've broadened my experience of different dog breeds, sizes and personalities as a volunteer transport driver helping those animals that need a ride toward a better life. I have also volunteered at an emergency animal shelter, providing scared and confused dogs and other animals a caring voice and soft touch to help gain their self-assurance. I am insured through the Pet Sitters Association. I am currently working remotely Monday and Friday. In the office Tuesday-Thursday 8am-430pm. Since I would be in your home, I would ask about routines at the meet and greet. I will take notes but you can leave instructions, if you wish. I do work in the office Tuesday- Thursday in Toms River 8am-430pm. Outside of those times I can be in your home with your babies. I would follow the routines your pet is already used to for their safety and comfort. I provide daily updates with pictures to let you know they are happy and safe.

About: Hi! My name is Chelsea and im 30 years old. I have been fostering animals (with my family) since I was 8 years old and on my own since I was 22. I love all animals and long walks. I’m currently working part time and remote so I’ll have plenty of time for your pets! I make my own schedule so I am flexible and reliable. Happy to discuss fees for multiple pets to see if we can come to an arrangement we are all happy with :) Also can provide discounts for close distance and repeat clients. Use code CHELSP42284 for $20 off your first service with Rover. I am patient and calm and understand there may be an adjusting period before your pet feels safe with a new handler. With many years of foster experience of both cats and dogs, I know how to familiarize myself with a pet and make them feel the most comfortable. I will always be respectful of your home (if a drop in) and clean up after any messes. I will be respectful of your time and wishes for walks.

“Christine was absolutely wonderful with Lilly during her 3-night stay! She was so diligent about sending regular updates and pictures, which gave me total peace of mind. She treated her as her own and Lilly looked so happy in every photo and came home calm and relaxed. Christine genuinely cares for pets, and I highly recommend her! I will definitely be a return customer.”
“Corrine was our first experience using Rover and we were incredibly happy with the experience. Our 7 month old shepherd mix is a pretty shy girl, but her and the kids immediately got her warmed up and out of her shell playing and generally being comfortable. Corrine regularly updated us about how she was doing and sent us a bunch of pictures throughout the stay. We would 100% hire Corrine again. Your pup will be with a very attentive and loving family!”

Nicole understands dog behavior so she doesn’t get upset when Zara gets a wild hair and eats her shoes.Her family understands they are not responsible for Zara’s care so they help out when they can by loading and unloading Zara’s gear in the car.”
“Christine and her family took excellent care of our Sugar and Ella while we were away. She updated us frequently with texts and pictures.As a rescue dog, Sugar is normally very tentative and shy. Sugar came home a new girl. She is even greeting strangers without fear! Ella had an issue with her ears while we were away, and Christine quickly reached out to us to treat it.They both were happy and healthy when we returned.”
“We had such a great experience with MJ! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about our dog. We received regular updates with pictures, and she even sent our dog home with a sweet note. We would absolutely trust MJ again to watch our dog, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for one!”
“From our first communication, Kristin was responsive and thoughtful. She offered a meet-and-greet and we took her up on it. Scout was at home immediately and I felt comfortable booking right away. We were gone for 8 days, which is a long time to leave your your little furry one. Kristin shared regular updates, often enough so that every time I thought about how she was doing, there was a picture of her face - safe and happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Kristin and would definitely ask for her help again if the whole family is traveling.”
“Betsy took wonderful care of our senior husky, Teeko. She did a great job medicating him and cleaning up an abscess he had at the time we were away. Betsy gave Teeko ample time outside, took him for many nice long walks and even took him to a dog park! We received daily pictures and detailed updates while we were away, which was very reassuring. Betsy was very caring, kind and compassionate with Teeko, and we would definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Nicole took such amazing care of our dog Dakota while we were away! We’ve used her twice now, and both times Dakota came home sooo happy. You can really tell Nicole genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. She even recommended a great groomer for Dakota, which we really appreciated. She has a nice backyard, and her kids and dogs are super friendly, so Dakota had plenty of fun and social time while staying there. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Dakota was in such good hands. We highly recommend Nicole — definitely a 5-star experience!”
“Nicolena was great! I highly recommend here! My dog has bad separation anxiety and she was amazing with Blaze! Kept me updated throughout his stay! She is very good with dogs and would recommend her and would absolutely leave Blaze with her again!”
