“Hadija is an outstanding dog and house sitter! We are so grateful for her thoughtful and kind care she gave to our dog, Edna. We had to book a dog sitter on short notice over a holiday weekend and we couldn’t have been luckier that Hadija was able to watch Edna last minute! She sent us regular video updates and made sure Edna kept to her usual routine. It was a relief to be able to travel and know that our dog was so well cared for. We highly recommend Hadija for dog/house sitting. She was also a very courteous house guest.”
“I appreciate Jaden’s help petsitting. Jaden was kind and polite. Jaden respected my requests and was attentive to my dogs needs when I checked in. Jaden went above & beyond offering pictures of my dog and as well gave me a summary of care when I returned. Truly a responsible professional petsitter in my eyes. I already rebooked Jaden for another time. Thank you Jaden!”
“My pup and I had a great experience! Liana took wonderful care of Marley and kept me updated throughout her stay. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would definitely book with her again!”
“We had an amazing experience with our sitter, Mariia! She took incredible care of our five dogs—Leo, Luna, Mika, Azul, and Arya. Handling five dogs is no easy task, but she was so patient, attentive, and truly caring with each one. We received amazing, daily, and detailed updates, which made us feel completely at ease knowing our babies were safe and loved. We came home to happy, relaxed fur babies, which says everything. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend sweet Mariia to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter.”
“Brittany was great to work with! She was communicative, arrived on time and was very responsible and engaging with my dogs. She sent us pictures during her visit and everyone was happy when we came home! We would definitely book pet sitting with Brittany again!”
“Angelina is great, we have her house sitting services for over a year and she has looked after our 2 pups nearly 10 times. She is very trustworthy, great with our dogs, one gets daily medication for his arthritis. Our house is always very clean when we return from our travels. She always keeps us updated on our pups, we absolutely have peace of mind when leaving our pups with her. Will recommend her 100%”
“Amazing 1st time experience Ms.Karen was great highly recommend her. Will be sharing her information trhoigh the property for those who might need help. She was everything you could hope for. She communicated throughout the day. Madison (10yrs) and Zeke (7 months) greatly appreciated the time they were well taken care of as if they were her own. Her experience in her profile made her standout, and it showed. Will be using her again in the future great experience”

Along with the Rover services I provide, I can also offer medical care such as subcutaneous fluids and/or medications at no extra cost.

Since each pet is different, I personalize their care based on their needs, breed, personality, and comfort level. Boarding is my preferred service to offer.

About: I’ve been around and taken care of animals my whole life - I currently have five of my own pets (FOUR guinea pigs and one horse) - I grew up with dogs and have handled every shape, size, and age imaginable - whatever your pet needs, I got it! Tuesday-Friday are very flexible for me and I will always try to make things work out! While I have my own personal routines there is more than enough time to walk some pups! I am always respectful of the spaces people keep and whoever uses those spaces - my number one priority is for the animal and their family to be comfortable
About: I have been caring for dogs and cats for 7 years for family, friends, and clients, and I absolutely love making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I currently work as a gym manager, which allows me flexibility throughout the day since I typically start work later in the morning. I am also able to step away during the day for walks, check-ins, feeding, and quality time with your pets. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your furry family members. In addition to making sure pets are happy and well cared for, I always treat every home with the same respect and cleanliness I would expect in my own space. I have experience with both dogs and cats, and I personally have 2 cats, 1 dog, and a bearded dragon. Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy, and my goal is always to make sure your pets feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away! Pet care fits very well into my daily and weekly routine. I currently work as a gym manager Monday through Friday, and my schedule typically starts between 10 AM and 12 PM. Because of my later start time, I am available in the mornings for walks, feedings, and check-ins. I am also able to step away during my lunch break to check on pets, let them out, or spend some quality time with them. I have flexibility throughout the week, and I am available on weekends as well. I always prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any specific instructions they provide. I also make sure to be respectful of their home by keeping things clean and treating their space with care. I understand that every pet has a different personality and needs, so I take the time to get to know each animal and provide them with the attention, affection, and exercise they need. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable while giving owners peace of mind knowing their animals and home are being well taken care of. At this time, I primarily offer care in the client’s home, including drop-in visits, walks, and check-ins.
“Alex did house sitting for Kiwi for 2 days and was absolutely wonderful with her! He took such good care of her, made sure she was fed, and took her on walks whenever needed. I really appreciate the love and attention he gave, and I’ll definitely be booking him again for Kiwi’s future needs. Highly recommend!”
“Connie did a great job taking care of our cat, Marvel, while we were away for one week. It was the first time Marvel was pet sat without her sister, Tasha, our dog who recently passed. Through this adjustment, Marvel certainly gave Connie a run for her money, but Connie made sure she was handled with care. We appreciated Connie's communication and commitment, and we hope to work with her again in the future. Thank you, Connie!!”
About: I've been trained as a dog groomer for about a year and a half, so if your dog needs maintenance on its coat I'd be more than happy to help. I've worked with many kinds of dogs from 4 month old puppies to 15 year old seniors. I also have a senior dog, a yellow Labrador, 13 yrs. I'm currently on pursuit for a part time job, so have more time to take care of any animals right now! The only day that doesn't work for me is Sunday or anytime after 6:30 pm on Thursdays and Fridays. I would love to know your pets daily routine, likes and dislikes in order to provide the best service I can for your furry friend.
“Angelica was absolutely amazing! She stayed with my pup for three days while I was away on a trip and kept me updated with photos and messages throughout my time away, which gave me so much peace of mind. My German Shepherd was in great hands and came home happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Angelica to any dog parent looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable. Thank you again, Angelica!”
About: I’ve had pets in my house from dogs & cats to fish & turtles my whole life!! Whether it’s raising a litter of cats, cleaning up accidents, or administering oral medication, I’ve done it all. While I’ve only taken care of friends’ pets a handful of times, they’ve been impressed by my thorough care & effort every time! I’m currently job-hunting and out of school, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! My only setback is going to church certain days of the week, but otherwise I can be available anytime! I understand that every home is different & can adjust to your setup & layout easily, no judgement here! Just let me know what it is you need done for your pet/house and I can do it.
“Abby was absolutely amazing during her stay with our pets. She followed our instructions, was loving and engaging with them and sent pictures daily. She also anticipated needs, which was very helpful. She was trustworthy and reliable. I would recommend her in a heartbeat. We have already booked her again for regular walks”
“Ethan has been such an amazing sitter for our pup. He's reliable, trustworthy, and always accommodating. He's there to help us whenever he can & is always super responsive. It's hard to find people to depend on, but Ethan is one of them! We're so thankful for him & would highly recommend his services to others.”
About: Experience helping raise puppy/younger dogs and training, also have experience with adult/senior foster dogs. Includes walking, bathing, trips to the dog park, feeding, training, treat/crate training I also looooove brushing dogs, the fluffier the better! I like to stay home on weekends with my senior dog Sapphire. Shes a rescue and very calm (she doesn’t bark) and absolutely loves other dogs! We love to take walks and play on the patio outside. I am pretty much free from Wednesday evenings-Saturday nights! Although I live in an apartment, I keep my living room and general space wide and accessible which is easier and less stressful for the dogs. I have a back patio we can play on (not black so the heat won’t hurt their paws), and have a park and yard across the street! I will give your pup lots of love and cuddles and they will definitely be a little spoiled! I also will feed them in a separate area from my dog but bring them back together to play :)
“Wilson watched our two dogs and our house while we were away. This was our first time using Rover and we were nervous leaving them. However, Wilson did an excellent job from the Meet & Greet gaining our trust and the dogs. He sent updates throughout the week and even got our picky dog to eat her food. We would definitely recommend him and use him again in the future.”
“Madeline took great care of our cat. She kept us updated, played with her, and gave her lots of attention. The litter boxes and house were clean; she brought in our mail, packages, and trash can. We will definitely be calling her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bound Brook
Hadija is the best! We are so grateful for her thoughtful and attentive care for our dog. She is such a great communicator, sharing frequent updates and adorable photos. We especially appreciated her kindness and support she gave to our dog when they had an upset stomach for a few days. Hadija helped to keep our dog comfortable and to figure out ways to help her feel better. We highly recommend Hadija for housesitting! We know our dog has a strong connection with her and we are grateful to know she is in such good hands while we are away.
Jaden has cared for our dogs before but since it’s been a while and one of our dogs is fearful, she was super willing to do some pre-trip drop ins to get re-acclimated. She was patient and provided Pip with the space he needed to feel safe and comfortable and we appreciate that SO much. And Rocky likely requested multiple fetch sessions! Our senior cat and birds were also well cared for. Thank you, Jaden!
Kate did an excellent job taking care of Cooper and Mooncake. She sent us regular updates about their activities and spent plenty of quality time with them. Kate stayed in our house and was a clean and respectful house guest. We will definitely be reaching back out to hire her for when we go on our next trip!
Alex did house sitting for Kiwi for 2 days and was absolutely wonderful with her! He took such good care of her, made sure she was fed, and took her on walks whenever needed. I really appreciate the love and attention he gave, and I’ll definitely be booking him again for Kiwi’s future needs. Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Bound Brook
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bound Brook on Rover is $49.95 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 12,285 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bound Brook. 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 Bound Brook 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 Bound Brook 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 Bound Brook 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bound Brook. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
