About: I’ve had my 16 year old senior cats since I was 7 years old, I have a ton of cat experience but I worked at a doggy daycare shortly so I can take care of dogs as well! I can also administer medication liquid form or pills. I’m also planning on going to Veterinary Technician school because my dream is to work with animals. I’m hoping to get a part time job soon but in the meantime or on my off days I plan to take care of animals. I’m currently not working so I have a lot of time in my schedule to care for dogs and cats while I job search. For taking care of cats my room is safe and can fit a litter box and food/water bowls. I can’t take in dogs because my cats get anxious around dogs , but I am happy to come to my clients home and do an overnight or drop in visits for dogs. I like when owners leave a list of everything for me just so I can make sure their pets have everything they need.
About: I love dogs! I used to own a professionally trained service dog and I still follow all the correct service animal commands when interacting with dogs. I also assisted in the birth of her 3 puppies which I raised for 12 weeks. I’ve walked and cared for both male and female dogs, from chihuahuas to black labs. I have toys, treats, and a bed for them already in my home — and they’re always allowed on the furniture. Can’t wait to meet your fur-baby! I took a break from the corporate world so I am home most of the day. I like going for 45-min neighborhood walks. I am up with the sun and go to bed around 10:30pm I don’t drink or smoke so I am always 100% mentally clear. I am in a suburban home on a dead-end street with a large yard and plenty of low-traffic streets to walk your dog around.
About: I treat every pet like family and provide patient, loving, and dependable care. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different ages and personalities, including puppies who need extra patience, attention, and routine. I’m also attentive to senior dogs and their individual needs. I’m responsible, communicative, and will make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and am available for pet care any day of the week and at various times throughout the day. This is my full time job. I’m able to work with each pet’s individual routine and provide reliable, consistent care when you need it. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment for every pet in my care. My home is pet-friendly and secure, and I have two friendly dogs who enjoy having furry friends around. I always make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and given plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and care instructions to help them feel right at home. ❤️🐾

About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages since I was very young and am a huge animal lover! I am a nurse who works 3 days a week so I have frequent free time. I do have a 1 year old female golden retriever who is pet friendly. I am a pediatric nurse who works 2-3 days a week and love animals, so I am looking to get back into pet walking and sitting on the side. My schedule is flexible.

About: Hi there, I’m Jackie! . I have various experience with dogs as my family and I have always had dogs growing up. I also have fostered service dogs with a service dog organization in college as I took on the responsibility of living/taking care of three dogs (not all at once, I fostered three) in my college apartment, keeping up with their training, exposure, and more. I’m proud to say they are all full time service dogs to their recipients! I will do my absolute best to make you and your dog feel comfortable and happy with my work ethic. Knowledge of your pup is crucial to every stay as I would like to know social levels, fears, likes, dislikes, favorite past times, or they’re a couch potato or active to make their stay great! I’d like to know a dog’s boundaries so a meet and greet would be great so I can interact with them with their parents. I also love cats. They never fail to make me laugh with their personality and find them intriguing as no cat is the same. It is crucial to have a successful meet and greet whether they’re social or a ghost so the cat won’t stress. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I like to incorporate dogs into my routine as I like to be active from going to walks or just having fun depending on the weather. I love a good movie buddy or someone to walk around town with. As updates, I love to send photos of your dogs to your number. I enjoy seeing photos of my dogs when I’m away so I know it’s a relieving feeling seeing your pup happy. I will always do my best to ensure your dog is happy and healthy in my home or yours. I understand the nervousness owners may feel leaving their pets with someone else. I am hoping you are available via text if I need a question answered

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your West Long Branch. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in West Long Branch after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

Every walker 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.

- 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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 walker.
