“This was our first time working with Ashley and it was easy and stress free! She came for a meet and greet and a followup before our first visit which was helpful for me to show everything. I received a ton of pictures and I could tell our large, rambunctious pups were happy!! We will definitely work with Ashley again!”
“Jaime was great at accommodating our last minute dog sitting and walking request. She came for a meet and greet and was so flexible! She was able to dog sit for our elderly pups for a few hours and walked them multiple times. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Theresa was amazing and will be using her again. We had some issues with other sitters coming to house and Theresa made our dog feel Comfortable and I could tell she really Loved her.”
About: Hi! My name is Sabrina and I love all animals! My experience growing up with multiple pets have taught me so much about their needs! I currently work full time and get home at 5pm on weekdays. Very flexible during weekday afternoons and open on the weekends at any time! I currently do not offer my home for services. I am more than happy to take care of your pets in their own homes or outside areas!
“Brianna is the best. Even our very shy cat came out to see her on day one this time (and this was only the second time we’ve had the pleasure of booking Brianna), proving Brianna’s clear awesomeness. She is also great with all the details, allowing us total peace of mind to enjoy our vacation. Thank you so, so much, Brianna!!!”
“So happy to have found Leanne! We needed a last minute booking for several visits a day for a few days. She was so reliable and took great care of Emma. She even saved a few of our large plants on deck because of high wind. We will surely booking with Leanne again!”
About: Growing up fostering rescue dogs from 11 hour rescue taught me patience, responsibility, and how to care for dogs with different personalities, needs, and backgrounds. I work full-time and work from home on Fridays, so I’m very flexible and available Friday through Sunday. I’d love to spend that extra time caring for your pup! I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for. I follow their routines closely, give them plenty of attention and exercise, and always respect each pet’s individual needs.
“Cindy was great with Zoey! She’s very communicative, sent updates and photos throughout their visit. I highly recommended using Cindy’s services, I know I’ll be a repeat customer the next time I head out of town!”
“Jen is a member of our fam now. Since we moved to the Jersey shore I have not let anyone else watch the fur babies. She’s so sweet and loving. She treats them so well and sends the best updates and pics. If she couldn’t watch them if we had to go somewhere, we honestly wouldn’t go.”
“Madelyn provided outstanding care for my 2 year-old pup. She took her on walks, made sure her water & food bowls were cleaned and refilled, and gave her a lot of love and attention in my absence. She is responsible and trustworthy and I highly recommend her.”
“Hannah is great with our pets, and also very responsive and pleasant. We don’t worry about the pets when we know Hannah is taking very good care of them while we are away.”
“Daisy did a wonderful job taking care of our dog while we were on vacation. She updated us each day with several pics. She was mindful of the heat and avoided walking her by other dogs.”
“Kim was very easy and accommodating, especially since I had a rather last minute (first time using Kim) need for a sitter! She came and met my pups and even helped me when I had some issues with my app! She was very thoughtful and sent lots of pictures and updates! I will definitely be using her again!”
About: I've been with a dog most of my life, with my fiance, we have fostered two dogs and have also owned two, currently one. I believe animals are family too and should be treated as such. I think they are your best friend and I test every relationship with a dog very carefully and playfully. Well I work as a cyber analyst at a bank , I would love to be able to help with your pet needs during the hours of 530pm -10pm if need be. Always available to help out and answer. I usually will wake up early to let my dog outside to use the bathroom. I also like to walk around with them and play , if I'm energetic at 6am. I love walking dogs as I'm also a big fitness person so activity is my thing. I also am very punctual on when I feed my dog and what I feed him. We always give treats here and there but never too much to spoil his day and to create negative habits
“Kaleigh was amazing with caring for our dog. She was prompt with her visits. Her communication was great and detailed and our dog looked so happy. Kaleigh is also very personable and trustworthy. I would highly recommend her for your pet care”
“Lori has become BFF with my dog Lulu. I have always had a large enough family for Lulu to be watched by family. Reaching out to Rover and finding Lori has been miracle. We now think of Lori as part of the family.”
About: Hello!! I am a passionate emergency room nurse who has enjoyed being a dog owner all of my life, and have had dogs ranging in size from extra small (miniature dachshunds) to extra large (German Shepherds, labs, pit bulls etc!) I absolutely love caring for animals and keeping pets happy and safe. My two dogs now are both large mutts who enjoy each other’s company along with getting treats and running in dog parks . I have no problem driving outside of my area and making accommodations based on your dogs needs. If there are any special instructions be sure to let me know and I will be happy to go by them. I am very caring and gentle and am also good at training pets. I also have had smaller rodents and animals along with 2 feline friends in the past few years and have volunteered with stray cats in Hawaii and Ocean City! I love all animals and I look forward to meeting and caring for yours!

Jaime did a great job taking care of our 2 adult cats. She updated us and sent pictures of them daily so we felt confident that they were well taken care of as it was outlet first time using someone other than family. She even came for a preview to meet the kitties and us. We would definitely use Jamie again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Barnegat on Rover is $26.38 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,300 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Barnegat. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Barnegat stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Barnegat. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% can help with daily exercise
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 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.
