“Max did an hour walk with Trey today. Completely a last minute request and he made himself available. Very much appreciated!!! Trey loved Max immediately and was a great walk for him. Would highly recommend Max.”
“Jim took great care of our kitty! Even though she is super shy and wouldn’t say hello to him, he kept us updated on how much food she was eating and her bathroom habits! Was able to have a stress free vacation knowing she was in good hands!”
“Frances did a fantastic job of caring for our cats while we were on vacation. With 3 Rescues inside and 2 TNR's outside, it's not easy to find someone to take that on. Everything went great and she kept us informed with texts & pics after each visit. She made our vacation so much more enjoyable.”
About: In all my 22 years of life, I have always had a dog and have assisted in feeding, bathing, and walking the dogs I’ve had. I’ve always been an animal person even considered becoming a vet at one point. Whenever I am at someone’s home, you can find me hanging out with their pet wether it’s a dog or cat or even a snake! In addition to walks on ROVER I make and sell custom stickers. Pet stickers are especially popular and my Etsy is ShopMomentsFromMichi I currently have a flexible schedule, please reach out to me a week in advance, so I can fit your pup into that schedule!! I do 20 hours of volunteer work a week and babysit, I plan each weeks work days/ volunteering days about a week in advance and would love to add your precious pet into that mix! I am looking to do dog walking and dropping in! I am open to taking your dog for a leashed walk around the neighborhood or drive them to a fenced in dog park if you’re comfortable with it!! Whenever I walk a dog I always bring myself and the dog water to keep us safe and hydrated.
“Angelica is absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of my pet while I was away, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. From the start, it was obvious how much she truly cares about animals. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which really gave me peace of mind. My pet was happy, calm, and clearly well cared for when I got home. It’s not easy to find someone so reliable and kind—Angelica is a gem! I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a loving and responsible pet sitter.”
About: While I’m newer to professional pet sitting, I’ve spent years caring for my own pets and helping with family animals, including feeding, walking, playtime, and daily care. Love nothing more! I’m working part time, so I have plenty of time to be with the pups! Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday are my most available days! No times are an issue with me! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always try to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure pets have fresh water, food, exercise, attention, and a safe environment at all times. During walks and visits, I pay close attention to pets’ behavior, energy levels, and surroundings to keep them safe and comfortable. I’m respectful of each owner’s instructions and home, and I provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away.
“Olivia was so sweet and communicative; she gave me all the details of my pup’s walk and sent multiple pictures, which I always appreciate. We will definitely be working with Olivia again!”
About: I love dogs more than people 😉 and have been around them my entire life — from Silky Terriers to German Shepherds. I’m a responsible, attentive, and genuinely caring person who will treat your dog like my own. We currently do not have any animals in the home, which allows me to focus fully on your dog’s care and comfort. While we live in an apartment, we’re just a few blocks from the beach in Asbury Park and have access to excellent walking routes. I take dogs on long daily walks of at least 3 miles and am always happy to go farther if that suits your pup. I’m especially understanding of dogs who may be anxious or reactive around other dogs. I know how stressful it can be to leave a dog with behavioral sensitivities, and I’m committed to providing a safe, calm, and structured environment. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I currently work outside the home three days a week. My husband works for the city and is home daily for lunch, so your dog will never go longer than about three hours without a potty break. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I spent 12 years caring for a dog who was reactive toward other dogs, so I understand how important structure, vigilance, and clear communication are. I take instructions seriously and will follow your care and safety guidelines closely — whether that means avoiding other dogs, using specific equipment, or sticking to a familiar routine. Our home is calm and pet-focused, and we currently do not have any animals, allowing me to tailor care to your dog’s individual needs. I’m attentive, proactive, and thoughtful in my approach, and I’m committed to creating a safe, predictable environment where your dog can feel secure and relaxed.
“Heather was GREATTTT with my dog. She checked in consistently and responded quickly with no issues. I had no worries about my doggy at all I knew she was in great hands. She paid attention to her very well and updated us through the day. Book her and you’ll see!! 😊”
“Anahi is a wonderful person and sitter! She is friendly, kind, and a great communicator. I was very nervous as it was my first time using the site to find a sitter, but I made the right choice booking Anahi. I was not expecting my shy cat to interact with her right away, but from the first visit, she was sharing pictures of them playing together, and him seeking her out for affection as she walked in on the second visit. I do believe animals are a great judge of character and I will be booking her for my next trip. Highly recommend.”
“Skye, was perfect for Frank, our doxie! He responded so quickly and was able to jump right in. Frank settled easily. We were put at ease, to be off and away, knowing Frank was squared away. Will definitely continue to book with Skye.”
About: I have been a shelter volunteer for 10 years walking dogs of all sizes and breeds in addition caring for dogs & cats and kittens. CPR and Reiki certified. I have worked at my job for the last 22 yrs, currently remote. I will be available on Rover on my days off, walks and care. I will be available for walks and any care needed at your home. Pet CPR certified and experienced in giving medication if needed and arranged.
About: I’m the owner of Happy Tails, a local dog walking and pet care business serving Long Branch and nearby Monmouth County neighborhoods. I’m also a backup dog walker for another pet care company, which has given me hands-on experience with different dogs, routines, homes, and owner preferences. I speak English and Spanish, and I care about being reliable, communicative, and gentle with every pet I’m trusted with. Pet care is part of my regular weekly work because I own Happy Tails, my local dog walking and pet care business. When I’m not already booked with Happy Tails clients or backup walks for another pet care company, I’m typically available Monday 1–5 PM, Tuesday 9 AM–5 PM, Wednesday 1–5 PM, Thursday 1–5 PM, and Friday 9 AM–5 PM. I keep my schedule organized so I can give each pet reliable, focused care without overbooking myself. For Rover, I currently offer dog walks and drop-in visits only, so I care for pets in their own home and neighborhood, not in my home. I follow each client’s instructions closely, including leash and harness preferences, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, medications if needed, and any routines that help their pet feel comfortable. I prioritize safety, trust, and communication, and I’m careful to leave the home secure and the pet calm, happy, and cared for.
“Jon is a cat whisperer. A cat magnet. We were worried about leaving our two 1-1/2 year old cats for 10 days to take a family visit. There was absolutely nothing to be worried about. Even the very shy cat greeted Jon at the door every day and gave him nose kisses. Your pets deserve the care of Jon.”
“Joseph was wonderful with our extremely timid recent rescue pup! He even came early to spend more time with our girl. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a caring petsitter.”
About: Hi there! I’m a veterinary technician at Sea Girt Animal Hospital, where I’ve been caring for pets for the past five years. Working with animals is truly my passion—I love getting to know each dog and cat’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies who love to play to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I’m also skilled in giving medications (oral, topical, or injectable if needed) and keeping up with any special routines your pet may have. At home, I’m a proud dog mom to one wonderful pups who keep me smiling every day. Whether it’s going for walks, snuggling, playing fetch, or just keeping your pet company, I treat every furry friend like part of my own family. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for—and I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages while you’re away! I am currently working at a veterinary hospital and attending school Monday-Thursday 4:30 to 9:30. I am free all day Wednesday until school and free all day Friday. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my priority is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—feeding times, walks, playtime, and any medications—so they feel right at home even when you’re away. As a veterinary technician with 5 years of experience at Sea Girt Animal Hospital, I’m trained to notice even small changes in a pet’s behavior or health. I’m comfortable administering medications, caring for puppies and senior dogs, and providing gentle, attentive care for pets with special needs. In your home, I always respect your space and your pet’s routine, keeping everything clean and consistent. In my home, pets have a calm, safe environment with plenty of attention, belly rubs, and love. I also make sure to send lots of photo and message updates, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for!

Jon was fantastic with my two cats, spending even more time with them than agreed upon. Over several visits on a long weekend, he gave them excellent care and lots of play. The sociable one fell for him immediately, and even my nervous girl warmed up over a short time. He’s got great energy and a clear love of animals. Book him today!
Melissa is a wonderful pet sitter! She did drops ins for my two cats. She washed dirty bowls that my cats used after eating. I thought that was so thoughtful of her to do this. She also took pictures of my pets , the pet food she fed them, as well as the cat pen area that she cleaned, everyday. In addition, she came over the day it was supposed to snow, on very short notice, for additional drop in visits. I asked her if she could do drops ins the day before, for this day. And even though it was short notice for this additional booking, she agreed to do the drop ins. I was relieved to not have to travel back home, an hour away, in inclement weather, the next day. I am so grateful for her hard work and for excepting my last minute booking, without much prior notice. Melissa is a reliable , flexible and kind pet sitter! I highly recommend her!
