About: My name is Erica and I am an enthusiastic and dedicated caretaker for your pets and plants! I have been a babysitter since I was 14 years old, and have extended my services to petsitting in the last year. I have experience in taking care of small to medium sized dogs, young and old, for family and friends as needed in the past and want to extend my dog sitting care to my community. I am happy to housesit as well as walk, feed, and care for your pets, and most importantly, foster a safe and happy environment for them. I can't wait to meet your beloved companions and befriend them too. I am available for evening petsitting or walks after 5pm on weekdays, and all day on Saturday and Sunday, overnights on weekends only. I can accommodate for your schedule if needed. I have reliable transportation to your home and will be respectful of your living space and your pet's routine. I am happy to give your dog a walk, take them out for breaks, feed, and/or entertain them as needed.

“Justice was fantastic with our cats! Justice took wonderful care of our kitties while we were away. She earned their trust quickly while respecting their boundaries, and it was clear she genuinely cared about their wellbeing. She kept the feeding areas and litter boxes clean and sanitary, refilled the automatic feeders while keeping track of a special diet, and took out the trash and recycling. Justice also sent us daily updates with photos, which gave us real peace of mind knowing our cats were happy and well cared for. We'd absolutely book her again!”

About: I have 2 small mixed playful and friendly dogs. I am a dog lover and truly enjoy the time I have with each dog in my care. I have a breezeway where your dog can stay and hang out. The breezeway has sliding dooos that open to a large, fully fenced backyard. My work as a home care Physical Therapist allows me to have a schedule that is flexible.

I am also very flexible with the dogs in my care and provide attention and love each one as if he or she was my own fur baby. I et them sleep on my furniture or bed if that is what they like. My home will be a safe and comfortable haven for your furry child(ren). And you can relax while on vacation. My work as a home care Physical Therapist allows flexibility and I am able to do drop ins as needed. I can also pick up and drop off dogs if requested.

About: I have a 5 year old Papillion at home, so I can do all the normal stuff like feeding and giving water, and playing as well as short walks. If you have a super cuddly dog, I’m always willing to lay with them for a long time as well as I have a clingy girl at home. I’m currently taking an online course, so I have plenty of ability throughout the week to check on your pets. I can’t do mornings though as I sleep later than most people. I always try my best to respect other peoples belongings and privacy so I won’t go anywhere or touch anything besides what I’m supposed to.

About: 🐾 Experienced & Compassionate Animal Care with a Healthcare Pro 🤎💯 Hi there! My name is Ivan, and I bring over 15 years of hands on experience caring for beloved pets of all kinds, from playful pups and cuddly cats to exotic reptiles, rodents, birds, and fish. Whether it was caring for my own large animal-loving family’s pets or boarding for extended friends and clients, I’ve built a life around patience, compassion, and responsibility. I’m proud to offer a patient, nurturing, and medically informed approach to pet care. I currently work in healthcare, with a background in hospice care and MRI, along with patient safety, which means I’m naturally calm, attentive, and deeply tuned in to the needs of others, furry, feathered, or scaled. Now that I’m studying full-time from home and my beloved rescue husky Tony Montana has crossed the rainbow bridge, I’ve opened my heart (and my schedule!) to help other families travel stress-free, knowing their pets are loved and safe. I specialize in: • 🐶 Dog sitting & boarding • 🐱 Cat care & boarding • 🐍 Exotics, reptiles, rodents, birds, and fish • 💊 Administering meds & caring for seniors or special-needs pets • 🏡 In-home care or flexible boarding options • ✈️ Helping you travel without guilt or FOMO! Your pets will be treated like family in a secure, nurturing environment. I’m punctual, responsive, and open to negotiation for the right fit. My mission is simple: to offer top-notch, worry-free pet care you can count on. Let’s connect! I’d love to meet your family pet and give you peace of mind while you’re away. 💛 ✨ Genuine reviews and kind referrals mean the world to me. Your pet will be safe here with no other animals to bother them, can crate upon your request. My career in healthcare has taught me the value of patience, attention to detail, and compassionate care, not just for people, but for every living being I encounter. I’ve worked in both hospice and diagnostic imaging environments, where I helped ease patients through some of their most vulnerable moments. That experience has shaped me into a calm, reliable, and nurturing caretaker, someone who understands the importance of safety, comfort, and trust, whether I’m supporting a person or a beloved family pet. After years of dedication to full-time work, I’ve recently shifted my focus to furthering my education through online study. This new chapter has given me the flexibility and time to return to something that has always brought me joy: caring for animals. With my schedule now wide open, I’m able to provide attentive, personalized care through house sitting, pet sitting, drop-in visits, and boarding services. The passing of my senior rescue dog, Tony Montana, was a deeply emotional moment that reminded me just how meaningful the human-animal bond can be. In his honor, I’m now choosing to open my heart and home to help others. Whether you need peace of mind while you’re traveling or consistent, loving support for your pet while you’re away, I’m here, eager, dependable, and ready to serve with the same compassion I brought to healthcare. 🐾 Experienced & Compassionate Animal Care with a Medical Touch 🐾 Hi there!

I have a senior dog friendly cat that minds her business and stays out of everyone’s way. She has been chased by small and big dogs and never became scared or aggressive as they were simply overstimulated and were not allowed to even reach her. So besides a cat thats nowhere to be seen and is unbothered by other cats and dogs, your pet would be spoiled rotten here.

“Lisa is wonderful, an experienced pet owner/sitter. The meet and greet was impressive, as she asked detailed questions and requested vet/emergency numbers “just in case.” She followed directions to the T. My three dogs loved her! It was also a huge relief not to have to worry while I was away. I definitely recommend her services!”

My schedule is very flexible, so I am readily available to dog walk or to house sit if needed. I'll do my best to ensure you are happy and satisfied with who is taking care of your dog and you won't be disappointed!

Let me know if you would like someone to care for your pet and we can work out a schedule that works best! I make sure to give my pets lots of attention and love the same as I would do for your pets as well as follow the instructions I’d be given.

About: Hi, I’m Cherish! I’ve been passionately pet sitting since 2019. While I took a brief break from Rover, I am so excited to be back doing what I love most: providing top-tier, reliable care for your fur babies. Over the years, I have specialized in advanced pet care. I am fully confident and experienced in administering medications, including both oral treatments and injections. I also have a deep tenderness and specialized experience caring for blind and deaf dogs, ensuring they feel safe, secure, and loved. Don't worry if your pup is on the younger side, though—I have plenty of stamina to keep up with high-energy puppies who need lots of playtime! In addition to dogs I have experience with single or multi-cat households as well as exotic pet care like birds, turtles, lizards, chinchillas, and fish Dog Room and Care Services for Your Furry Friend Your beloved pet deserves the best and I am excited to offer a dedicated dog room in my home that provides everything your pup needs for comfort, including crates, couches, and cots. I guarantee your furry friend will have plenty of playtime and potty breaks, alternating every 2 to 3 hours between indoor and outdoor activities. Please note that all new guests are required to have a meet and greet prior to booking their stay, and unfortunately, same-day bookings cannot be accommodated. My goal is to stick to your pet's schedule and ensure that every stay is a positive and enjoyable experience. I have a fenced in yard and dedicated dog room. For any pups who may not be adjusting to the pup room I do allow them in other areas of the house.

About: I’m an experienced dog owner and proud Belgian Malinois mom to my 3-year-old pup. I’ve personally raised and taught her, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and keeping dogs mentally stimulated. I’m comfortable with energetic, playful, and strong-willed dogs and always take the time to learn each pet’s personality and routine. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and comfortable while they’re in my care. Pet care fits very easily into my weekly routine. I’m fully available on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, giving me plenty of time to provide attentive care, walks, playtime, and companionship. On the other days, I have a part-time schedule, so I still have flexibility to accommodate pet-care needs depending on the time. I’m happy to work with each pet’s routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and trust when caring for pets. I keep a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment and make sure pets have a safe space to relax, play, and feel comfortable. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any house rules. I’m also attentive to each pet’s behavior and energy level so I can provide the right amount of exercise, playtime, and supervision. Most importantly, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same care I would want for my own dog.

She was always easy to contact and even came for a meet and greet prior to me leaving lychee with her which was so nice. I would definitely rebook with Kim again she was a perfect pet sitter!”

We’ve used Eva as our dog sitter twice now, and both experiences have been absolutely amazing! Our dog, Kobe, is extremely nervous and terrified of new people, so finding someone we feel comfortable leaving him with can be difficult. From the very beginning, Eva was incredibly patient with him. She never rushed or forced him to interact and instead gave him the time and space he needed to feel comfortable and trust her. Seeing the difference from his first time meeting her to now has been incredible he absolutely loves her! That alone says so much about the kind of person she is and how great she is with animals. It gives us such peace of mind knowing that when Kobe is with Eva, he is with someone who genuinely cares about him, understands his personality, and treats him with patience and love. We are so grateful we found her and would absolutely recommend Eva to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and attentive dog sitter. She will definitely continue to be our go to person for Kobe! ❤️🐾

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Avenel

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Avenel is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 26,759 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Avenel. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. 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.

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.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters 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 sitter.
