“Chyanne is fantastic! I felt at ease knowing my babies (a dog and 2 kitties) were at home with her. Chyanne housesitted them for 2 and was very responsive, provided timely updates, and was overall very thoughtful. She checked in on them often, played with my dog in the back yard and followed the care instructions I gave her. Chyanne went above and beyond when taking care of my babies and I would definitely book her again in the future!”
“Sierra stayed at my apartment in the BX to watch my 45lb rescue pittie for three weeks in May, and I highly recommend her! She was responsive and so generous coming all the way from NJ to meet my pup and me first and incredibly responsive before the day of. Every day she sent me text and/photo updates, and it was super clear my pup was very well cared for and loved. Coming back, pup was happy and healthy and the apartment was clean as I left it (thanks, Sierra!).”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 13. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk and feed pets. I have experience with different breeds and size dogs, even with puppies. And I've gotten use to cleans messes and teaching from time to time. I'm not an expert but what I learned has help my friends and family with the dogs and puppies. Also if bathing the dog is a problem I have no issues handling it if the need arrives. I'm free anytime from Monday thru Friday but not Thursday evenings and I can do weekends if necessary but not Sunday mornings unfortunately do to religious reasons unless I'm pet sitting. I do have different size crates if needed one small, medium, and xtra large and I do have a gated section in my home for the dogs.
About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets. I’ve also volunteered at an animal shelter, where I cared for a variety of dogs and cats with different personalities and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and love getting to know each pet and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for! I’m primarily available Thursday through Sunday, with a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to each pet. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and companionship throughout the day, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping them comfortable and maintaining their normal routine. I follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, and any special care needs. I also make sure their environment stays safe and secure while giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection.
About: I'm a passionate dog lover dedicated to providing exceptional care for your furry companions. With years of experience, I understand the unique needs and quirks of each dog. From daily walks to playtime and cuddles, I create a loving and stimulating environment that ensures their happiness and well-being. Trust me to treat your four-legged family member as my own, providing personalized attention and a safe space for them to thrive. Let me be your go-to caregiver for your precious pup! I have experience with special diet administering, enrichment, post surgery care + essential pet care skills through my time as an ASPCA volunteer in NYC as well as a local shelter volunteer in my college town! while i do work 9-5 mon-fri, i love keeping my self busy outside of work and nothing would make my weekend better than to spend it with your pet, truly. I used to have my dog live with me for the past few years, so if need be, my home will always be pet friendly for yours! I am also very comfortable caring for pets in their own home as that it what they are used to.
“Michelle is the best! She's worked with my dog several times, and I will definitely hire her again. My dog Lucy loves Michelle, and she's not the easiest dog to care for. Michelle is compassionate and clearly a dog lover. She's also trustworthy and hard working.”
“The kitties had a great time with Michael, as always. He even got our feral to play, which was huge. He's a fabulous caretaker, and we will have him back again, per usual. Thanks, Michael!”
“Thank you for taking such great care of Bruce (again)! It is clear that you are kind and attentive and Bruce loves being around you considering how excited he was to see you again when you arrived! Lots of good updates while I was gone. You’re the best!”
“We are so grateful for Adriana! She took such wonderful care of our pup, Blue, while we were away. He can be a bit stubborn and high-maintenance at times, but Adriana handled everything with so much patience, love, and attention to detail. She truly went above and beyond to make sure Blue felt comfortable and cared for. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We would highly recommend Adriana to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you again, Adriana—you’re the best! 💙🐾”
“Yolanda was very informative and accommodating for our first time using Rover. Our pups seemed comfortable with her right away. She communicated with us throughout our trip and sent us pics of our fur babies. Will definitely work with her again.”
“Ariana stayed in my condo while I traveled for three weeks. The photos and video she sent showed me Orion was well-loved and happy. On my return, my condo was clean and orderly, so I know she took good care of my home as well.”
“Destiny was fantastic with our 2 kitties. This was the first time we left them and she did a great job keeping us updated with texts and videos. I highly recommend her if you want someone friendly and knowledgeable.”
“Sarah was great! She did everything I asked her to in regards to taking care of my pups. She even watered my flowers and got my mail. The house was in great shape when we got home and the dogs were fine and happy. Sarah said she enjoyed the dogs company and would miss them which warmed my heart. We will use her again.”

We couldn't have asked for a better sitter! ❤️ Leaving Titan and Queenie while we traveled overseas was a little nerve-racking, but from the moment we met Lexi, we knew they were in great hands. She was incredibly communicative throughout our trip, sending thoughtful updates and the sweetest photos that gave us so much peace of mind. It truly felt like she cared for them as if they were her own. She followed all of their routines perfectly, paid attention to the little details, and made sure they felt comfortable, loved, and happy while we were away. Coming home to two relaxed, well-cared-for pups was the best feeling. If you're looking for someone who is reliable, kind, attentive, and genuinely loves animals, we can't recommend Lexi enough. We will absolutely be booking with her again. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our babies!
Olivia is a great pet sitter. She is prompt, courteous, and understanding of all questions and concerns while we were traveling, and she is great with animals as well. Her photo updates were also always timely and a pleasure to receive. I felt at ease knowing that our cat was in good hands!
Kathleen watched my dog for over a week and was a great dog sitter. She regularly sent photos and updates about their day, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was on vacation. She was also very quick and easy to communicate with throughout the stay. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a dog/cat sitter!
Aiyana was great! Would absolutely ask her to stay and watch Maggie again. She helped me out last minute and was able to be communicative and prompt right away. She showed up on time to meet Maggie and grab the keys from me. The apartment was left clean and organized.
Michelle was kind and clearly cares about the pets she looks after. She followed all of our instructions and left our home exactly how we left it, which we really appreciated. There were a couple of timing and communication issues at the beginning, but once we connected, she was very responsive and made sure everything was taken care of. I appreciated her willingness to adjust and make things right. Overall, our experience ended on a positive note, and I would feel comfortable booking with her again.
This is second vacation Leslie has house set for us. She is amazing! We have two rescue dogs that we wanted to leave in their home while we were away. She fed them, played and walked them and gave them their meds. Peace of mind knowing your fur babies are well cared for makes being away more relaxing. We had daily texts with photos which helped with our missing them too.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bayonne on Rover is $64.2 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 19,133 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bayonne. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Bayonne walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Bayonne maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Bayonne 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.

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.
