“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.”
“Katherine was amazing!! Plenty of updates during the day and kept our little Rosy entertained while we were out. A real gem of a dog sitter. We can't thank you enough.”
“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.”
About: I've always loved being around animals. For as long as I could remember, I would help out and take care of my family and friends pets whenever they would be was away. Dogs, Cats, even Guinea pigs. It's something that I love doing, and I love to hang out with them and care for them :) When you book me, you are guaranteed to have the most passionate and high quality care. I value time and energy spent with your pets. It's what made me realize I wanted to do this more. I feel I can resonate with their energy, and get along with them very well. I also grew up having a dog, and though hes no longer with me I always love being around animals regardless. I aim to be available whenever I can! I am not in school, nor do I have any full time work. I'm open for pretty much all days including weekends and holidays. Regardless of the environment, or animal, cat or dog, I will always aim to make sure they are comfortable, fed and given affection. I'd walk and clean up after them when needed to. My house is always clean, and should I be at a client's house, I will make sure it looks exactly the same as it did when I arrived (better if possible)
“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!”
“We had a great experience with Sierra. We could tell that she took great care of Yoda while we were gone and also accommodated his fear of rain over a very rainy weekend. She respected our space and left our home very clean. We have already booked her for our upcoming travels and will continue to do so.”
About: My experience comes from caring for my aunt’s family dog and helping friends by caring for their pets while they’re away. I’ve enjoyed getting to know each pet’s personality, keeping them comfortable and cared for, and making sure they receive plenty of attention and love. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every pet as if they were my own. 🐾❤️ I work full-time during the week, so my availability is primarily in the evenings and on weekends. I’m happy to coordinate ahead of time to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need. 🐾 Every pet has different needs, routines, and personalities, so I tailor my care to each pet and their owner’s instructions. I’ll take the time to understand their routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, comfort level, and any special instructions before their stay or visit. As I continue building my experience through Rover, I’m open to different types of pets and services and will make sure each booking is a good fit for both the pet and me. My priority is creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment while keeping owners updated and giving their pets plenty of care and attention. 🐾
“We cannot thank Milena enough!!! This was the first time leaving our puppy and she made us feel very comfortable by sending updates and pictures during our time away. We also had some last minute travel changes and she was super flexible with changing the plans. Our puppy adored her and we’re so glad we found a trustworthy sitter for him!”
“Claire took excellent care of our pups and the house. She was very responsive and kept us updated throughout our trip. The house was tidy and well kept and the pups were happy when we got home.”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of many breeds and sizes . I am Patient with animals and have a background in social work I’m currently working from home so I’m open to drop off during the day and boarding during the weekends. I’m open to pick ups during the weekends and walks. I have a small fence backyard and a four year-old Jack Russell who is very friendly and playful. Your pup will never be bored that’s for sure

About: Hi, I’m T! I have taken care of different ages of dogs and breeds as well. I have experience in walking dogs that pull and being able to redirect them to something else if told details about the pet fully. I also am very big on clear, direct communication so I will send tons of updates and pictures. I love walks, your dog loves walks.. so Me+ Your Dog = Happy Walks. I’m a morning person so I’m up and early, ready to start. I am also attending college so I’ll be free from Monday, Tuesday- after 12pm afternoon Wednesday- free all day Thursday- after 4pm afternoon Friday, Saturday & Sunday- after 12pm afternoon ^ my schedule is extremely flexible so don’t be afraid to just send me a message. I most likely will make it despite the schedule time listed. My home is fenced in all around with lock pads to prevent trespassers. I believe in upholding safety to the highest. I also have two seperate floors and a fenced backyard.
“Andrew made the whole process worry free! He was patient and kind. He sensed my anxiety and went above and beyond to make this experience for me and my pets a very positive one. He made them very comfortable and was very attentive . I would highly recommend Andrew he genuinely cares about our fur babies!”
“Breanna is a fantastic pet sitter! She watched Sophia and Valentina over the weekend and exceeded all my expectations. She was attentive, responsible, and kept me updated the whole time. It gave me total peace of mind knowing my girls were in such loving hands. Thank you, Breanna!”
About: I grew up having 3 dogs and caring for them while my parents were at work. As an adult now I own 2 cats of my own and frequently go back to see one of my childhood dogs and a new adopted puppy my parents have! I adore animals of all types. In addition to growing up with dogs I have pet sat for years throughout high school, college and my early adult years. I am currently working from home so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet and make sure they get the care they deserve with plenty of exercise, love, and attention. While working with a client I will make sure to thoroughly discuss any safety precautions regarding their pet while walking them or making drop ins.
“Laura did a great job with our puppy. We were gone all evening and she took him out for two walks and ensured he didn’t chew up carpets etc. thanks for your help Laura.”
“Celine was SO awesome with chappie. She was incredibly communicative during her 4 day/3 night stay. I could tell chappie was very comfortable with her & she left my apartment very clean and organized for when i returned!”
About: Hello, I have been working in petcare professionally for 10 years. Lets chat and see what your furry friends needs are, and be sure we can attend a meet n greet. I make the time as long as my time doing it is respected. This is part of my daily routine so be sure to promptly send updates for care needs. I can offer a wide range of care preferences.

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!
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!
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!!
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!
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.
Caroline was great! Jane is a bit finicky and Caroline was able to make her very comfortable! She sent me pics and posted how her days went. She left the house very clean and also watered some plants! I am very happy with the service and would definitely recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Bayonne is $70 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $86 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 19,126 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 , 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 .
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 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.
