“What a week away it has been! A blizzard forecast came out of nowhere while we were away , and even though this was the first time we used Melissa, she handled it like a trooper ! She was willing & able to do whatever was needed to prepare for the storm, regarding both the house & dog, which gave us great comfort. She also jelled quickly with our dog, and we could tell he was happy from the updates & photos we received. Melissa comes highly recommended, and we will definitely use her again!”
“Kathy has shown up when she has said she will show up and send lots of updates and pictures, which make me feel much better. My dogs clearly seemed to enjoy her and her husband's company and are so much happier staying at home when we are away. Kathy also refunded us some of our fee when we decided to come home early last minute, which she did not have to do. We will definitely be using Kathy again :D”
“I’m glad we found Laurel. She took great care of our Gipper. Giving medication to a cat isn’t easy, but it seemed the two bonded right away and Gipper received great care. We look forward to Laurel taking care of our little ones in the future!”
About: Hi there! My name is Kristin and I have a lifelong passion for all animals. Growing up on a horse farm, I was surrounded by various animals and always had cats and dogs as pets. Outside of having pets growing up, I have helped out friends and family members with dog, cat, and house sitting for them over the past 10+ years. I have experience with a variety of breeds, ranging from big breeds such as Pitbulls and Boxers to smaller breeds like Yorkies and Jack Russells. I care for all animals with all my heart and your pets will be in loving hands with me! I work full time in Monmouth county, so weekends would be ideal for me. However, if your pet doesn't need to go out as frequently, I can definitely help out during the week. I am typically out of the house between 10am-6pm, so I can play with/walk/feed them before or after those times. Weekends are totally open for me so I can do whatever your pet needs. In my client's home, I will follow their typical routine and do whatever they do to care for their pets. I always respect their home and make sure I leave it as clean as possible.
“Lindsay was incredible! She is a mature, reliable, smart person who cared for our dog, Blueberry, and our home in the best way imaginable! Lindsay stayed for 12 days and also helped us get to our train to go to the airport and did the same upon our return. Our home was immaculate upon our return! We are so thankful to have found Lindsay and Blueberry concurs!”
“Charlotte was amazing with our 2 dogs! We’ve had not so great experiences with dog sitters in the past and we are SO happy to have found Charlotte for both dog sitting in our home and drop ins. She treated our home like her own and kept it so clean and helped bring in our many packages. Our dogs can be very challenging, both high energy and anxious with new people. She was so patient and they loved her immediately! She kept us in the loop with photos and any updates for anything going on with them. We could not recommend her enough and will absolutely be using her for all of our future trips and drop in needs!”

“Skye pet sat for my dog Chevy in my home for nearly two weeks. He treated Chevy like he was his own pet, with great care and compassion. I was able to enjoy my time away much more knowing Chevy was in good hands. Skye sent me photos, videos and updates all the time. I highly recommend Skye for any of your pet needs!”
“Joy was an absolutely ideal dog sitter. She really did look after my dog as if he was her own. She monitored his eating habits, kept to his walk schedule, and gave my boy lots and lots of love. 100% would recommend and will definitely re-book in the future!”
“What can we say regarding Alexandria. She was perfect ! Polite, caring,punctual, professional. She gave my wife updates and photos of Chesney. While on our honeymoon, my wife Michele and I were at piece of mind. We knew right away at meet and greet, Alex was our choice and we were right. Thank you Alexandria for caring for Chesney and the flowers for Michele left on table. A thoughtful act from you. Michael”
“Folks, I can't recommend Heather more if I tried! She was phenomenally responsive, caring, and super diligent about each and every detail. I had major surgery, so working with Heather was one big area I didn't have to think twice about. The cats LOVED her. I could tell because when I came home they didn't even look at me twice. ;-)”
“Maggie is great with Maverick! Maverick is very comfortable and happy while we were away. Maggie took great care of our house and kept everything very clean. We have used Maggie for multiple trips and walks and we will definitely continue to!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Belmar
Ciara was a great dog sitter! She stayed with our Goldendoodle Boo recently for 2 overnights. She was attentive to Boo, sent pics and was quick to respond to texts. She is definitely a dog/pet person and has quite a bit of experience sitting with dogs. I would not hesitate to use her again. It is hard to find someone that is reliable and responsible and we were lucky to find her!
We absolutely love Sheryl but more then that our little girl Sugar loves her !She is so excited to see her every time she comes to sit with her and play and just give her love and attention and don’t forget the belly rubs not just anybody get’s to rub the belly ! Thank you again Sheryl🐶😍
Mellissa is amazing My pus LOVED her and my husband has never agreed to leave the dogs, and she truly made him feel comfortable doing so. she checked in, followed directions written out and in sent pictures and left the house in better condition she received it in. To come home to calm pups who actually were sulking because she was gone was immeasurable and quite the blessing . I cannot praise her enough
Couldn't love Brandon more if we tried! He has the most calm and patient demeanor and took such good care of our little Dachshund, Ravioli. This was the first time we were leaving him alone with anyone but my fiance and me, so we were nervous. Brandon came for our dinners so we could have an evening out and he made fast friends with Ravioli. He also helped him through some firework fears as this was the 3rd of July. Ravioli was thrilled to see him on their second night and allowed us dinner in peace. Brandon threw his ball and played with him until he was all tuckered out. Thank you so much, Brandon!
Savannah dog & house sat for about 8 days for us. She was very responsible. It was nice that she took the time to come meet the dogs and go over what the job entailed prior to our vacation. We were pleased with the care she gave our pups, and how nicely she kept the house. We will absolutely hire her again, and would recommend her.
Having a strong connection with my boys, I hoped to find someone who could empathize. Rachel empathized and cared for my nervous lab and demanding staffy for 9 days. But more importantly she took time to get to know my guys and me. They were walked, cared for (during a storm, and late evening). The care Rachel provided helped me to enjoy our trip without worry. Thank you, Rachel
Kaining did a fantastic job taking care of my two dogs for a week, as well as taking care of my home. She administered medications to both my dogs. She was very responsible, kept to their schedule, played and snuggled with them! I would recommend her to take care of your fur babies.
Hunter took wonderful care of my sweet animals while we were away. My senior dog wasn’t feeling well and was unable to move from her bed, which could have been incredibly stressful. Hunter handled the situation with so much care, patience, and compassion. She was able to easily administer her medications, made sure she was comfortable at all times, and gave her the attentive, thoughtful care she needed during a vulnerable moment. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in such capable and loving hands. She also made sure our cat was well cared for and loved while we were away. I’m incredibly grateful for Hunter and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, kind, and trustworthy pet caregiver.
Kristen did a great job cat-sitting at my house. I left way too many instructions, which she followed perfectly. And both of my shy cats were comfortable enough to make appearances - one even let her pet him. She was also excellent at communicating and sending pictures. I highly recommend her!
Alexis was undaunted by the fact that the 6-hour pet-sitting job was at our hotel. Other sitters were put off by that, so it was a real hassle getting someone to take nearly $100 for watching TV a few miles from home with two loving dogs. Alexis totally got it, and she was the consummate professional, taking the pooches to the pet relief area 50 feet from the door more frequently than just the once required. Cheery and mature, a good communicator, good with the photos and videos.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Belmar is $106 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $163 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 10,835 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Belmar. 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 Belmar 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 Belmar 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Belmar 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.
