“Mel was amazing taking care of both of our animals. She was super communicative, sent lots of great pictures and was super easy to work with. 10/10 would recommend Mel for all your pet needs!”
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.
“CeeCee stayed with my two large dogs over Thanksgiving and was wonderful! She was very accommodating with a last minute booking. The dogs loved her, and she left everything tidier than when she got there. This was the first time my dogs had a sitter, and I felt better knowing they were in good hands.”
“Diana was great! She came through in the clutch after we had a last minute sitter cancellation. She spent quality time with Dinho multiple times a day, called right away the one time Dinho was acting up, and was easy to coordinate with. Would definitely book her again!”
“Kat is an amazing sitter. My dog loved her instantly—she literally ran up to Kat during our first meet-and-greet, which immediately put me at ease. I booked Kat right away and left for a 4-day trip feeling confident my dog was in great hands. Kat sent plenty of photos and updates and followed my dog’s supplement schedule and more complicated feeding routine perfectly. My golden retriever is a puller on leash, but that didn’t faze Kat at all. I came home to a happy dog and a clean home, exactly as I left it. I’ve already booked Kat again for a shorter trip and am in the process of booking her for a two-week stay. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Kate was great with our labradoodle puppy! Got tons of photos and video update, communication was easy, she arrived early and was well prepared. Would be delighted to book her again.”
“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!”
“Stephanie was amazing!! She watched our 3 dogs while my husband and I went overseas for our wedding. We were gone for over a week, and we got multiple pictures and updates daily. She is extremely communicative and responsible. We were nervous to leave our babies that long but Stephanie put our minds at ease so we could relax while we were away. She left our house even cleaner than before we left. I would definitely recommend Stephanie and plan on booking her again! 10/10 stars! Thank you Stephanie!!”
“Monica was great. Very professional, communicated well, and took great care of the house and our dog. Will definitely be on my list for future sitter or dog walker needs.”
“Malgorzata was prompt on replies and got along really well with my dog who is normally cautious around new people. While on vacation she sent many photos and updates to keep me posted on the status of Jaeger. Great communication and when I returned he was happy and healthy!”
“Fernando took great care of our two large dogs! We have one senior dog and one reactive dog and Fernando was easygoing, competent, and kind! I can't wait to book again. Thank you!”
“Yolanda was absolutely amazing! She sent us tons of pictures and videos and was amazing with our pups. Without a doubt we will be happy to welcome Yolanda into our home again.”
“Nassira was absolutely wonderful! She was punctual, followed all our instructions perfectly, and sent regular updates with photos that gave us total peace of mind. Our dogs were happy and well cared for, and our home was in great condition when we returned. Highly recommend and will definitely use her service again!”
“Priyanka was amazing with my dog. She followed all the instructions I left her, asked to do a meet and greet, and asked questions about my dog too. I got updates and pictures. I would book her again!!”
“She took care of my dog as best as she could and in the most horrible time crunch. The one thing i can say is that my dog was pleased with her and I was pleased with her. Will definitely use her services again.”
“Shannette was AMAZING. I HIGHLY recommend her. The app offers a service for nighttime dog sitting. We were able to arrange for daytime dog sitting in our home. My dog suffers stress-colitis and having him at a doggy hotel was not an option. Shannette was EXTREMELY trustworthy while we were away for 8 days on vacation. She kept him company at home, gave him lots of cuddles, checked in regularly with us, was punctual with walking him three times a day, cleaning his paws before entering the home after a walk (we have old carpet we’re trying to preserve) and always feeding him as scheduled. She was respectful of our home rules and I just can’t brag enough about how amazing Luca did while he was in her care. Our home was respected, our dog was cared for, and she was AMAZING as a human being! Don’t overthink it, book her. I HIGHLY recommend her!”
About: My standard poodle, Aro, has flown internationally, ridden trains through the Balkans, and handled just about every kind of travel a dog can, so I know firsthand what it takes to keep a dog safe, calm, and happy anywhere. I have two years of hands on experience with dogs of all ages, from 4-month-old puppies to 8-year-old adults, including training. Whether your pup needs structure, exercise, or just steady company, I meet dogs where they are and stick to their routines so they feel at home while you’re away. You can expect clear communication, photo updates, and someone who treats your dog like family, because mine is. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so pets in my care get real attention throughout the day, not just a quick visit between shifts. Walks happen on time, midday potty breaks are no problem, and I can accommodate early mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m also already out walking daily with my own dog, so your pup’s exercise routine fits naturally into mine. My priority is keeping your pet’s world exactly as you left it, same feeding times, same walking routes, same house rules. I follow your care instructions to the letter and treat your home with respect: doors locked, gates secured, alarm set if you have one. On walks, safety comes first. I double check harnesses and leashes before heading out, stay alert to traffic and other dogs, and never use retractable leashes near roads. For training, I use positive reinforcement only, keeping sessions short, structured, and fun. Before our first booking, I’ll confirm your vet’s info, emergency contacts, and any quirks or triggers I should know about. While you’re away, you’ll get photo and text updates so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing
About: { PLEASE KEEP READING FOR LATENESS INFO & PRICING } I have many years of experience with all types and sizes of dogs. I have been taking care of my own as well and have experience with behavioral dogs as well. I am able to take care of your fur baby all week and at most times depending on my schedule and how ahead your request is. I focus on just making sure the dog is safe and just overall having a good time. If training is needed to address behavior issues, I can provide that as well.

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bayonne on Rover is $63.89 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 19,194 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.

- 97% 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.
