“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.”
“Jaden did an amazing job with Zipper. She kept us posted every day and sent us pictures of our dog. When we came back Zipper was very happy and I am sure Zipper is missing Jaden already. I would 100% recommend Jaden and I will use her services again.”
About: I grew up caring for my family's black labs my entire life. I currently own two beautiful baby Shih Tzus, Tony & Guiness with my beautiful fiancé. They add so much joy to our lives and are a big part of our growing family. I invest a lot of time and effort into training them daily, to build trust and give them the best lives possible. Taking care of the animals in my life is a passion of mine, and I treat every pet like it's my own. Pet care is my full time job and I thoroughly enjoy it. After years of training athletes, I left my career and opted for a career that is rewarding in different ways. I'm available any time Monday through Friday and most weekends. My apartment complex has many areas to walk outside, with sidewalks and open grass areas where I walk my boys. There is also a spacious indoor dog park in the basement of my complex where I take them to play, especially on rainy days. We do training both indoors and on walks outside, individually and as a family. I also expose my dogs to as many experiences as possible, bringing them to community events, outdoor dining, and social gatherings. Our family does not believe in leaving pets home alone all day every day, and want to give them as much stimulation and social interaction as possible.
“Wilson was awesome! Our dog isn’t the friendliest with others, but Wilson took a chance with our family and we’re so grateful that he did. We gave him very specific instructions since our dog is very particular, and he followed everything perfectly. On top of that, he made the effort to play with our dog and give him attention — and to our surprise, our dog (who usually takes a long time to warm up to anyone) was comfortable with Wilson in just two days! He truly went above and beyond. We are so grateful and thankful. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend Wilson to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring person to watch their pet. Highly recommend!”
About: I promise that my goal first and foremost is the health and care of your pet. I love all animals and grew up with both cats and dogs! Currently I have a 4 year old cat named Suki. She loves to play and nap together. I am extremely responsible and will give your pet all the care he/she needs and send you photo updates (it’s one of my favorite things to do when I’m pet sitting). I’ll treat your pet as though they were my own. I'm looking forward to working with you! I am currently a student at Rutgers Physician Associate Program. Some days I’m in school from 9am-4pm but we also have virtual days and days off for studying for exams. I’m an early riser so you can rely on me to take care of your pet bright and early and then head back to them in the afternoon for more play time and exercise. My weekends are always free so pet care on the weekends fits perfectly into my routine. I have a guest bedroom available to keep your fur baby comfortable in one section of the house or they can also use the entire house if they feel comfortable in their environment! I do have my pet cat Suki who lives with me but she does very well with dogs and we can keep her separate from other cats to introduce them slowly or just keep them separate the entire time they’re here. I’d be happy to sleep in the guest bedroom with your pet as well.
“I am very happy that Thor was able to spend time with Anouti and family. As an elder dog, I was worried about him-but am do happy I chose Anouti. I will definitely use her again.”
“Diana took great care of our two labs, Grace and Beau, while we were away for an overnight trip. She was attentive to their routine and kept us well-informed through messages and pictures. We are extremely satisfied with Diana’s work and won’t hesitate to call on her again for future dog care. Highly recommend her for your consideration.”
“Calli was great and did everything as instructed, she was our first experience with Rover and did great with our two dogs and cat. It was great to enjoy vacation without worrying about our pets with Calli there watching them.”
“Rwitika is simply outstanding in all respects whether caring, sense of responsibility, attitude, everything. We will look forward to contact her again as and when we need Brady’s care during our absence.”
“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!!”

“Kim is a lifesaver. She watched our dog while we were out of state for a couple nights- providing plenty of updates and pictures. However, when our flight home was canceled, Kim was willing to stay an extra two nights. Much appreciated!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, from large Rottweilers and Pit Bulls to small Yorkies, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I also love cats and reptiles and enjoy caring for all kinds of animals. I’m dependable, responsible, and take every pet’s care seriously. You can count on me to be punctual, communicative, and consistent with your pet’s routine. I’m flexible and always happy to give your pets the attention, playtime, and care they deserve! 🐾 As a part-time student, I have a flexible schedule with plenty of availability in the mornings and afternoons, as well as on weekends. This allows me to easily fit pet care into my routine and give each pet the time, attention, and care they need. 🐾 I’m comfortable traveling to clients’ homes and caring for their pets in their familiar environment. I’m respectful of each home and always make sure to follow the pet’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any other instructions provided. I’m responsible, attentive, and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their families are away. 🐾
““Uncle Marc” is Hazel and Penny’s new favorite friend! Marc stayed with our girls while we spent the week out of the country. I was worried about leaving them for so long but Marc took great care of them and frequently updated me, sent pictures, and put my mind at ease. They’re already planning for his next visit 😉. Thanks Marc, we appreciate you!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of different sizes for a few years now. I love animals and since I have none of my own; I thought pet sitting would be the best opportunity for me to meet people, their families and their pets 😄 I am currently working part time now, so I have lots of time to care for and play with your cats & dogs! I love animals and since I have no pets of my own; this is the best opportunity to show my love for them!! I will definitely make sure your pet(s) is cared for with fresh food and water; also treats ( by owner direction. ) I will also make sure that the environment is safe during my visit, and will definitely reach out if I see anything questionable! I will also provide playtime with your pet(s).
“Gina was great! My husband and I went away for the weekend and Gina came over multiple times per day to walk, feed and play with our dogs. Gina sent pictures regularly and stayed in contact often. Gina is so sweet and caring. We will definitely book with Gina again.”
“Emily was fantastic. When my work travel unexpectedly extended she was able to continue sitting my pup. She was extremely communicative throughout the entire sit and gave me peace of mind and heart while I was away.”

This was the first time that Liana did an overnight with our three dogs and everything went great! Two of our dogs are very timid and Liana knew how to work with timid dogs, she gave them both the space that they needed! The result was less stress for them and for us! Peace of mind is priceless and Liana gave us that. We will positively ask Liana to sit for us again!!!
We are so happy to have found Alex! Our dogs absolutely love spending time with him and he is genuinely so nice and provides amazing care to our boys! Follows perfect instructions and is very thoughtful and honest. I feel completely safe that our dogs are under his care and that is priceless to us! One of my favorite things Alex does is that he sends us pictures of our boys while we’re away and they always look right at home. We are so appreciative of him and his love for our babies 🩵
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!
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

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Bound Brook is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $83 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.

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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bound Brook. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
