“Catrina was a great dog walker/dog sitter for Bella. She provided ample updates with pictures and was very communicative. I completely trust her with Bella. Bella is also a big German Shepherd and she was able to walk her and feed her exactly as I would. I would definitely recommend her to take care of your dog.”
“Ami was ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL! She kept us informed and sent updates with pictures. I could really tell that Ami loves pets. Ours could tell, too. Ami was a lifesaver!!!! I absolutely recommend Ami, and we'll use her again!”
About: I grew up with several different dogs and animals of all kinds. I love any type of critter and in the past I have taken care of senior, young, and special needs animals, and love them all dearly. I just graduated and moved to New Jersey! Currently have a fully open schedule and need to fill up some time! Please contact me and I’d love to take care of your fur babies I always make sure that any animal I take care of is always safe and sound. I make sure to never let dogs out without a leash, and am always careful to make sure a cat never sneaks out the front door when going in and out. And I always make sure to remember things easily forgotten, such and changing out their water!
“Ryan & Shannon were absolutely wonderful to work with. I am so grateful we booked them for our senior cat. They were so easy to connect with and fast to respond, and just lovely in person. We booked them for 30 min drop ins while we were away, and it was a great experience. We got daily photos and updates, they loved on our girl, and they gave her all her meds. If/when we need a cat sitter again, I will absolutely reach out to Ryan & Shannon first.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and I honestly can’t imagine it any other way! I’ve grown up with dogs and cats and have had my own horse since I was 12. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, and over the years, I’ve learned a lot about their care, health, and individual needs through caring for my own horse and pets. I truly love spending time with animals and getting to know their different personalities. Whether your pet wants to play, go for a walk, get some extra cuddles, or just have someone around while you’re away, I’d love to be that person for them! I’m also a Registered Nurse at RWJBarnabas, so I’m responsible, attentive, and comfortable handling situations that require a little extra care. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work M-F 7:30AM-4PM. Weekends are free, however, during the week if your pet needs to be let out during the day I will not be available unless it is before/after work. I offer walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and pet sitting tailored to your pet’s needs. I’m flexible and happy to work with their routine and personalities!
“Vee did an excellent job taking care of my two cats while I was away for ~4 days. She left detailed check-ins with photos that really put me at ease. I came home to two happy cats that had clearly been well taken care of and loved.”
About: I’ve had a lifelong love for animals and have been caring for pets of all kinds for years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and look after their pets — and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs, patient with anxious or senior animals, and always communicate regularly with owners so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing.
“Xingcheng was absolutely fantastic! From the very beginning, communication was prompt, professional, and reassuring. She took wonderful care of my dog and made sure I was updated with photos and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Xingcheng to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. I would absolutely book with her again without hesitation.”
“Bhali was so helpful and caring with our two dogs. They were well taken care of and very happy to go on walks with her. She catered to their needs and we appreciated the punctual check-ins with detailed updates and photos. Thank you so much Bhali!”
About: I’ve taken care of neighborhood dogs and cats for many years. Services include boarding, walking, feeding, playing etc. I can clean litter boxes and administer medications, as needed. I currently work full time but can fit your pet care needs into my schedule. I’m available before work (before 7:30am) and after work (after 4pm). I have a fenced in back yard for your dogs to run around in. I’m also available to come to your house for walks, feedings, or a simple check in.
“Thank you so much for taking care of my cats while I was away. I truly appreciate your time and help, and overall I was very happy knowing they had someone looking after them. Wishing you nothing but happiness and all the best in life. Take care”
“Victoria was a fantastic sitter! She communicated daily on how my cat was doing, was detailed with her communications, and was overall very friendly. I would highly recommend her and would definitely book her again.”
“Erik was such a kind and caring dog sitter. He was very punctual and communicative throughout the whole time I was out of town. He even walked my dog both days despite it being optional. Hachi was in such great hands and I would rebook him again in an instant.”
About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life dogs, cats, and other animals. They’ve always had a huge place in my heart, and I feel like I really connect with animals easily. I’ve pet sat for friends before and it’s always gone well. I’m confident I’ll get along well with your pets also. I’m flexible with schedules and comfortable handling different kinds of pet needs, whether that’s feeding routines, medication, or just extra cuddle time. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves animals and will treat your pet like family, I’d love to help! Hi there, my name's Nick! I've got a ton of flexibility in my schedule right now, so I'm happy to work around whatever your pets need — whether that's a full weekend stay, an extended visit over several days, or just popping in during the week and then sticking around overnight on weekends. Basically, if your furry friend needs company, I can make it work. I've always grown up with animals, and I currently have a cat and a dog of my own, so I know what it takes to care for cats and dogs of all ages from playful young pups and kittens to more quiet older animals. Just let me know what your pet needs and what the visit will look like, and I should be able to make most things work!
About: Hi my name is Anthony 19yrs old I am from Florida and just moved to NJ to go to college as a student athlete for soccer. Back home I have 2 adorable dogs my Pomeranian Gidget and my Yochon Duke who are both named after the movie the secret life of pets. I love taking them on walks especially during sunset and occasionally bring them in the car to get pupcups. I decided to become a walker on rover so I can continue to do this and make more doggy and cat friends. I’m really excited to work and meet your pet! I currently go to college and have class at 9:30am everyday and get done around 12 then have soccer practice 3 to 4:30pm. This allows me to fit in some walks before class, before practice and after practice! I will make sure to keep the house nice and tidy leaving it cleaner than I found it. If you have a backyard or pool I can play with the dogs out there. If they are allowed treats or pup cups I will bring some when I come.
About: I’m that friend who always volunteers to watch the dog — because I genuinely love it. I grew up with three dogs, helped my sister with her pups, and even lived with a roommate who ran a doggy daycare. I miss having furry energy around, so I’m here to give yours all the love, walks, and playtime they need! I currently work remote and am free most weeknights and weekends, so I have the flexibility during my lunch break or the ability to spend some time with the pup on a weekend. When I’m caring for your dog in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow all your instructions closely — from feeding schedules and walk times to any special quirks or care details that make your pup feel safe and happy. I take time to bond with each dog so they feel comfortable with me while you’re away. Whether that means playtime in the yard, cozy cuddle sessions, or just quiet companionship, I adjust to what your pet needs. I’m respectful of your space, clean up after myself (and your dog!), and always make sure things are left as I found them. Because I’ve lived with and cared for dogs in all kinds of homes — including helping with a former roommate’s doggy daycare — I know how to be a calm, trustworthy presence in your dog’s environment. Your pup will be in loving, capable hands, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re happy and cared for.
About: I have had pets most of my life. Mostly cats at first, but more recently (about four years ago) me and my family decided to get a black lab puppy that we raised with a lot of love and care. I was the main person responsible for training, playing with and exercising him, and he grew to be an amazing dog! I have dog sitten for friends, taking care of both cats and dogs, and have always made sure to provide plenty of love and entertainment for all those furry friends. I work full time in an office setting, but have the ability to work remotely when needed, all I need is my computer and headset. That makes my schedule pretty flexible, so I can easily fit it care for your pet! I am extremely good at following the instructions I am given on how I should handle pets and (if needed) household items. I will meet whatever schedule I am given, and always make sure to leave everything the way I found them. I am very patient with shy animals and playful with active ones. I can provide exercise in the form of playtime, walking or trips to the dog park.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Windsor
Ariane was really great to work with! Our normal pet watcher had something come up and we were trying to find a new watcher on short notice for a 2 week trip. Ariane was very friendly, and it is clear our dogs really liked her. She was also flexible with me asking to add on our cats when things came up like our autofeeder stopped working. We would absolutely recommend Ariane to anyone looking for someone to take care of their pets and we will certainly be asking her to do so again in the future when need arises!
Catrina truly is amazing!! She took such amazing care of our cat while we were away for a long period of time. She sent great updates, pictures, and truly treated our cat like it was hers. Our cat doesn’t love a lot of people and she was obsessed with Catrina. Highly recommend!
This is the second time I have booked Jill and I will definitely be reaching out to her for my future pet sitting needs. Jill is extremely professional, friendly, helpful, and all around a great person to work with. She was patient and won the trust of my very shy adult cat and kept me well informed with updates and pictures while I was out of town.
I’m so happy Anne was available last minute to walk my Beatrice. Even though she hasn’t seen her for a while, I knew that I had nothing to worry about and she would be so excited to Anne take care of her! I know it was really hot out, but Anne still took her on a really nice walk which I really appreciated (I have a feeling she had to really convince Bea to go on a longer walk😅). I got the cutest pictures and you can tell how happy she was!
It was a pleasure to have Nicholas take care of our dog, Axle. During our leave, he visited Axle at home, played with him and walked him daily. Nicholas is very professional and respectful. We definitely recommend him and look forward to having him watch Axle again in the future.

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.

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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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 sitter.
