“Jim was a wonderful fit for us! He came on time everyday, our cats were super friendly with him, he helped with cleaning up the litter and spent time with the cats since we were away for several days. He was very responsive and sent nice updates. I would absolutely trust Jim with watching our cats for future vacations.”
“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: Hi, I’m Vincent. I’m a U.S. Marine Corps & U.S. Army veteran and lifelong dog owner based in Monmouth County, New Jersey. Dogs have been a major part of my life for as long as I can remember. I extensive experience handling all size and high-energy breeds that require structure, exercise, and consistency. I provide dog walking and drop-in visits focused on safety, reliability, and your dog’s individual needs. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a neighborhood walk, playtime, feeding, medication reminders, or simply companionship while you’re away, I will treat them like one of my own. My military background taught me attention to detail, accountability, and professionalism. You can expect clear communication, punctual service, and regular photo updates during every visit. I am currently furthering my canine education through the CATCH Canine Trainers Academy and continuously learning about dog behavior, enrichment, and proper handling techniques. I look forward to meeting you and your dog and becoming someone you can trust whenever you need help caring for your pets. I currently work part-time and offer dog walking and drop-in visits around my work schedule. I am available all day on Mondays, after 2:30 PM on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and have limited availability on Thursdays. I strive to be dependable, punctual, and responsive when scheduling visits. Whether your dog needs a midday walk, evening exercise, feeding, or a drop-in check, I will communicate clearly and work to accommodate your pet’s needs whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a veteran and dog owner, I understand the importance of consistency, attention to detail, and following instructions. During every visit, I carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), exercise requirements, and any special instructions. I always ensure doors, gates, and leashes are secure and provide photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own.

I work from home Tuesday-Friday and have a fairly flexible schedule to walk and visit for check-in's throughout the day. I am typically not available Friday nights and Saturdays. If I am visiting your home, please provide access instructions and a description of where your pet's toys, treats, and other items are in your home! Please also provide the location of any cleaning supplies in case there were any potty accidents.

My schedule is flexible during the day, so I’m able to give pets consistent attention and stick closely to their normal routines. I’m also very active, so I enjoy spending time outdoors with dogs and making sure they get plenty of exercise and engagement.

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. I enjoy going on walks, especially with a dog by my side.

I am also comfortable with all sizes as I have had both small dogs and XL.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Long Branch
Simply amazing! My pups are always well taken care of and best of all, they're comfortable with Max! I'm always updated and told of any issues that may arise, and as someone who travels a lot for work, I feel very comfortable knowing that they are being taken care of appropriately and lovingly.
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!
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!! 😊
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!

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter 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. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
