“Brian went above and beyond to take care of our senior pup while we were away. He kept in contact with Luna's anxious mommy (me) all weekend with updates and double checks. Because Luna needs some extra help, Brian made sure that she was able to take care of all things - Luna was a happy girl when we got home, no doubt due to being well taken care of!”

“Once again Cameron did an incredible job watching my babies. Her pictures and comments put me at such ease. She was even able to step in at the last moment when I wasn't making it home on time. Highly highly recommended.”

About: I’m a dog mom to 3 sweethearts: Sherlock (15-lb Shih Tzu rescue), Jessie (55-lb American pitbull rescue) and Sasha (40-lb mixed terrier rescue). They all are very reactive to different triggers (people, other dogs, cats, squirrels/wildlife, etc.), and they’ve taught me how to be a better parent. Puppo (18-lb Maltipoo), our 15-year old senior dog, crossed the rainbow bridge in August 2025. Taking care of Puppo for 2 years was a transformative experience - he even taught me how to age with dignity and grace. I work a full-time hybrid job (2 days remote) and Saturday (10:30-1pm), but my calendar will be as up-to-date as possible! I take your pets’ safety very seriously, and will ask questions during our meet-and-greets to ensure their safety under my care. Additionally, I’ll take pictures during walks and cuddles/playtime, and be as communicative as possible. As a dog mom who has used Rover many times, I understand what many parents need!
About: I grew up working in a farm around nature and animals. I have experience with care, medication, feed and hearding of animals. I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, cows and horses. I just moved to this country. I really love anímales and their well-being. I’m currently looking for a job, and I’d like to start working in a field I’m passionate about, which is animal care. I would care pets in their own home o just walking around the neighborhood, following the owner’s instructions and keeping their normal routine. I would make sure they have fresh food and water, give them attention and playtime, take them for walks if needed, and keep their space clean and safe. I would also pay attention to any changes in their behavior or health and communicate with owner if there are any concerns.
“Molly was wonderful. She came and took care of our cat on a last-minute basis for a week. I would absolutely ask her to take care of him again she did a great job.”


About: I am comfortable with animals of all ages and size and love spending time with them. I would welcome any opportunity to help out with caring for the fur babies of fellow pet parents. Currently, I work a 9 to 5 with 3 remote days so pet care can fit easily before, after, or during work when I am at home. In September, I will be working 3 times a week as a Nurse Aide and am able to pick my own schedule. I will have free time to walk or pet sit throughout the rest of the week and am able to adjust my schedule to meet the needs of the family. I am conscious of the importance of understanding the nature of the animals we care for and make an active effort to keep my space as cat friendly as possible for my pets. I make sure all dogs and cats I interact with feel calm and safe in my presence so they can trust me.

About: As a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom to my Shiba Inu, Roxy, I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can completely trust. I treat every dog in my care like they’re part of my own family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual personality and routine. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply relaxing with someone nearby, I’m happy to tailor my care to their needs. I understand the importance of sticking to feeding schedules, administering basic medications if needed, and keeping you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you have peace of mind. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, and your furry family member will receive lots of affection, supervision, and personalized care. I know every pet is unique, and my goal is to make them feel as comfortable and happy as possible while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! Hi! I’m Gisselle, a devoted dog lover and proud dog mom to my friendly Shiba Inu, Roxy. I know that leaving your pet with someone else is a big decision, so my goal is to provide a safe, loving, and comfortable home where your dog feels like part of the family. Every pup in my care receives plenty of affection, exercise, playtime, and individualized attention based on their unique personality and routine. I understand that every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and personality to make their stay as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter pace, I’ll provide the care and attention they need to feel happy and comfortable. I also believe communication is just as important as exceptional care. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and videos throughout your pet’s stay, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re safe, loved, and having a great time. I treat every dog as if they were my own, and I would be honored to care for your furry family member. I look forward to welcoming them into our home and giving them a fun, safe, and loving home away from home. Our home features a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, explore, sunbathe, and play under close supervision. Whether your pup enjoys playing fetch, going for walks, lounging in the sun, or simply curling up for a cozy nap, they’ll have a comfortable and secure environment where they can feel relaxed and at home.
“We truly appreciated the thoughtful nature of Mary Ann and the care with which she approached our scaredy cats. She arrived on time, took care of the cats and kept us updated along the way. She took the initiative to spent some quiet time with them allowing the cats to trust her and get pets while we were away. She has a very calming personality, she is respectful of cats and understands that pet parents can be anxious leaving their babies home alone. She sent us multiple pictures at each visits and appropriately provided updates. This allowed us to be at ease knowing our cats were well cared for by Mary Ann. I highly appreciate Mary Ann and would love to work with her in the future.”

About: For nearly 20 years, caring for pets has been a natural part of my professional caregiving experience. I've also had the privilege of caring for clients of RxTra Care Pet Sitting & Services, PetCare with Love LLC, and currently Pawmunications, entrusting me with the care of pets of all ages, personalities, and care needs. Every pet is unique, so I take the time to get to know their personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether I'm caring for a playful puppy, a senior pet, or a multi-pet household, my goal is to keep their day as consistent and stress-free as possible. I believe the best pet care starts with communication. I take the time to learn your expectations, your pet's routines, and the little details that make them feel safe and comfortable. Every visit is tailored to your pet, because no one knows them better than you do. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering routine oral medications, maintaining feeding and exercise schedules, and caring for multi-pet households. I'll also provide regular photo and text updates so you always know how your pets are doing. My goal is simple: for you to come home—or finish your workday—to happy pets and the confidence that everything was exactly as it should be. Pet sitting is currently my full-time focus, allowing me the flexibility to provide dependable care, accommodate a variety of schedules, and be available for overnight stays, drop-ins, and walks. My availability is updated regularly, so if you have recurring or long-term needs, I'd love to chat! Because I'm caring for your pets in the environment they're most comfortable in, I focus on maintaining their normal routine and respecting both your pet's needs and your home. Before every booking, I take the time to learn your pet's schedule, preferences, medications, and any household routines that are important to you. During each visit, I'll follow your instructions carefully, keep doors and gates secure, double-check collars and harnesses before walks, and provide regular photo and text updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving you complete peace of mind.

I thoroughly follow any instructions provided by pet parent such as feeding, exercise, medication, etc… I have my own puppy therefore the pet will never be alone.

About: Hi! I’m Lizbeth a cat sitter turned dog walker who loves all things furry. I’ve been a trusted sitter on Meowtel for a while, and I’m now expanding to another app to offer both cat care and dog walking. Caring for animals has become a real passion of mine, and I love giving pets all the attention they deserve. I have hands‑on experience caring for cats of all personalities, and now I’m offering dog walking and drop‑ins as well. I’m patient, dependable, and always focused on keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable. Whether your dog needs a good walk or your cat needs some company, I’m here to help. Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine because I currently have an open and flexible schedule. I’m available mornings, lunchtime, evenings, and even for overnight care when needed. This allows me to plan my day around your pet’s routine, making sure they get consistent walks, attention, and care without any rush. I love having the time to give pets the patience and presence they deserve. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow the routine your pet already knows. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed by keeping things familiar — their feeding schedule, their favorite spots, and the way they like to play or unwind. I give plenty of attention, gentle company, and calm energy, especially for pets who need extra patience. I also treat your home with the same respect I give your pet. I keep things tidy, double‑check doors and litter boxes, refresh water, and send updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to come back to a happy pet and a home exactly as you left it.
About: For the past ten years, I’ve been the trusted go‑to pet caregiver for friends and colleagues; whether they’re heading out for a weekend getaway or simply stuck at work longer than expected. I know how hard it can be to trust someone else with your fur-baby, which is why I treat every pet I take care of as if they were my own. I have done everything from daily dog walks and feeding routines to scooping litter, administering medication, and giving plenty of love and attention. I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. Supporting happy, healthy pets brings me so much joy, and I’m committed to giving your furry family member the same level of care you would! I am currently in the process of switching full-time jobs, so my availability is open to daily walks and pet-sitting seven days a week! I will make sure to let you know if my availability changes. I live in an apartment, so all pet care takes place in my client’s home. I know how important trust is, and I treat every pet like my own—following your routines, keeping their space safe and tidy, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away!
“First time Rover user and Anya was wonderful. She popped over to play and feed our boys Mac and Mo while we went out of town for the first time since we adopted them. They warmed up to her immediately and i appreciated her attention to play time and she was also very responsive whenever I had reached out. Will definitely book her again! thanks Anya!!!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 18 years old, and over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. I also have professional experience in pet grooming, having worked as both a bather and a dog groomer. This gives me an edge in handling pets gently and confidently, especially during bath time or when dealing with nervous or high-energy pets. Whether it’s daily care, grooming needs, or providing extra attention to puppies or senior pets, I bring patience, skill, and genuine love for animals to every job. I am currently working in a Pet Grooming as a dog groomer during the week. My availability is only on weekends but I am open for a conversation. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets feel safe and loved. I follow any instructions provided closely—whether it’s feeding routines, medication, or special preferences—and I always take the time to build trust with each animal at their own pace

Mark took care of Chumpy for over a week while we were away, and he did an amazing job! He was incredibly patient and caring with Chumpy and went above and beyond, even cleaning up after his not-so-little messes 🫣. Knowing Chumpy was in such good hands gave us so much peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our time away without worrying. Thank you so much, Mark, for taking such great care of our old man! We truly appreciate your patience, kindness, and the care you showed Chumpy. We would absolutely recommend Mark to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring to look after their pet!

Brian went above and beyond to take care of our senior pup while we were away. He kept in contact with Luna's anxious mommy (me) all weekend with updates and double checks. Because Luna needs some extra help, Brian made sure that she was able to take care of all things - Luna was a happy girl when we got home, no doubt due to being well taken care of!

This is my second booking with Nicole. I was out of town for 5 days and I felt completely relaxed and without a worry because Nicole was watching my pets. I highly recommend hiring Nicole - she is kind, patient, caring, professional, and just an overall great person!

Zoe was great!! I was super nervous about my little guy and she made me feel like he was in good, caring hands. He even got to go on walks with her which I never thought possible!! She took the time to be patient with him and let him get used to a new person in our home. Great energy. Highly recommend!

Tracy and Steve were incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay, sent regular updates and videos of Dakota, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. They were so kind, easy to talk to, and genuinely cared about her. They even left her treats and a thoughtful note, which was such a sweet surprise. I would absolutely trust them with Dakota again😊

I’d easily recommend Jonny to anyone. Me and my wife have a fairy large dog who doesn’t love new people. With our wedding coming up we needed to find someone to pop in and check on him, Jonny did just that for us and alleviated a lot of our stress. Jonny was super flexible with his schedule, he took the time to get out dog comfortable with him. At first meeting our dog was on the aggressive side and Jonny didn’t flinch. He’s a true pro. Beyond that he’s a great guy, super calm and friendly, there was never a doubt about his character and leaving him access to our house. We will definitely be using him more in the future. I couldn’t recommend him more.

Chris is amazing! My puppy is very high energy and can be quite mouthy, and he handles him so calmly and confidently. Chris has a kind, steady demeanor that our puppy immediately responds to, and he’s incredibly patient. Chris is also extremely professional, reliable, and communicative — I always know how things are going and feel totally at ease when he’s with my pup. It’s clear he really understands dogs and knows how to work with challenging puppy behavior. I feel very lucky to have found him and highly recommend!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in West Orange choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.

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.
