Amy was phenomenal! Not only was she highly professional taking notes when first meeting our pup and asking great questions, but she was attentive and clearly very loving of our dog throughout her drop-ins! Amy was fantastic about updates throughout the day, tons of great photos, and even took Echo out on walks around the neighborhood. Her love for animals shines clear, and honestly is everything you'd want in a sitter. Amy will be our new regular sitter for a long time! Thank you for everything.

Marc was wonderful with our kitties! From the very first meet-and-greet, he was sweet, kind, professional, thoughtful, and respectful, which immediately made us feel comfortable leaving our cats in his care. During each visit, Marc went above and beyond to make sure our kitties were happy, cared for, and loved. He kept us consistently informed with updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that he truly cared about their well-being and took the time to make them feel safe and comfortable. We are so grateful for the care Marc provided and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring cat/dog sitter. Our kitties were in great hands!

So fortunate to have connected with Brian. He was great with our dog and bonded quickly with him. Brian was responsive and communicated clearly. He asked great questions during the meet and greet. Throughout his care of our dog, he provided detailed updates, photos and pictures. We will absolutely be using him in the future.

About: I am currently working as a veterinary technician and have extensive pet sitting experience. I have a dog and 3 cats of my own and would love the opportunity to care for your pets as if they were my own! I can care for all sizes of dogs, cats, and other pets. I'm able to medicate, administer insulin or other injections, or anything medical. I'm very good with scared or unsure pets and have a knack for helping them feel more comfortable. I'm happy to spend time with the pets, walking them, playing with them, or just spending time petting them. I have loved and cared for animals since I was young and am hoping to have the opportunity to care for yours as well! I work from home and can be flexible with drops in and walks. I am also free all weekend! I can do drops ins, walks, overnights or medication administration. I will always make sure to follow your preferred schedule and make sure to take care of all needs you have for your pet! We can walk, play, snuggle, whatever they prefer!

About: Hi! My name is Rosie and I have been caring for pets for friends, neighbors, and families for many years. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, overnight stays, and giving pets the attention and care they deserve while their owners are away. Outside of pet sitting, I have years of babysitting experience, a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science from Seton Hall University, and I am currently in nursing school. My background has taught me responsibility, patience, and attention to detail. I’m dependable, caring, and will treat your pets like they are my own. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you feel comfortable while away! I am currently available all summer with a very flexible schedule and would love to help care for your pets while you’re away on vacations, working long hours, or just need an extra helping hand. I am available for drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine including feeding times, walks, playtime, medications, and plenty of love and attention. I will be starting nursing school again in September, so my availability may change slightly, but I will always communicate ahead of time and do my best to continue providing reliable, consistent care. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home. I will always treat your pets like they are my own by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I am respectful of every owner’s home and will follow all instructions, routines, feeding schedules, and special requests to provide the best care possible.

Jake was exceptional! He graciously agreed to help us at the 11th hour when another sitter fell through before our week away. Jake was prompt, followed directions perfectly, and so sweetly went above and beyond to make sure the house was clean and tidy when we got home. He actually spent extra time with our little guy, which was such a relief to us (we all know the degree of self-torture we go through when leaving a pet at home), and we could really tell that Jake is an animal lover. He sent us awesome pics and updates-it helped us enjoy our week away. Jake was generous with his time and effort, and we will absolutely be asking him to sit for us again!

About: My friends and family call me Tom Care-a-lot, Tom the Mom, and The Dog Whisperer. I am often told I am too nice, but sometimes kindness and patience can be what someone needs to be a good caregiver. I have worked at East Memphis Pet Hospital & Resort as a Daycare and Kennel worker, and occasionally perform Vet Tech duties such as administering medication, which has taught me a lot about caring for multiple dogs and adapting to each dogs' individual needs. I have also worked for GoDog West Nashville and Morris Animal Inn. To be responsible for another life sometimes means that you have to be flexible, I understand if something comes up last minute, it happens; I will be as flexible as you and your dogs' needs. Your dog will be in good-hearted, caring hands while you are doing what you need to do. Your dogs and their home will be safe, you can leave it to me. I will respond to booking requests with 12-24 hours if not immediately. If something doesn’t work in my schedule I will let you know ahead of time unless there is an emergency. I work Freelance from home (remote), so my hours are flexible. I have obligations with other people and clients but I will make any booking done through the app, if they are accepted and scheduled. Failure to contact about a booking before service will result in a cancellation and YOU will be charged a cancellation fee and will take all responsibility for your pet(s). I treat them with respect, I will not hit or discipline them physically, if you instruct me to do so I will decline and cancel the stay or appointment. I do not tolerate abuse or neglect. I will clean up if they have an accident and my motto is to “leave the house roughly in the same state you came/found it in”. I will use your amenities like washer/dryer/sink/shower/dishwasher if I am staying multiple days or overnight. I will do my best to clean up after myself but I cannot conform to all expectations of perfection. Make sure there are no illegal drugs or weapons in the residence (weapons must be away and sealed in a secure location, if any are in the residence) failure to comply with this will result in an immediate cancellation and it will be on YOU.

About: I have experience with many types of dogs. I especially, have experience caring for senior dogs and have been involved with pet rescue for over 12 years. I am a teacher and mom who would like to help care for your dog. I have a large yard for playtime and great neighborhood for dog walking. I’m flexible to the needs of animals that come from different situations. It’s important to me that pets feel a part of a family and that is what I strive for when pet sitting in my home. We have a busy family life in which everyone that walks past your dog they will give it a petting and some live. Consider this as a home away from home for your dog. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to work with your dogs. I am available for boarding on weekends. Someone is always home at my house. I have two dog friendly pups. I have a large yard and quiet neighborhood for dog-walking. I am able to crate your dog if needed.

Luqing is an amazing cat sitter! We have two cats with very different personalities and needs, and she does an excellent job caring for each of them. One of our cats is very shy, while the other is very active. She spends lots of time playing with our active cat and always stays for the full 30-minute visit. She is also incredibly gentle and patient with our shy cat. Luqing is also very attentive and organized. She creates a checklist of everything that needs to be done during each visit, so nothing is ever missed. She is also flexible with scheduling and communicates very well, sending us many updates and photos during her visits. Overall Luqing is a wonderful cat sitter, and we highly recommend her!

As a last-minute first time visit, Amy was so easy to work with. We were able to communicate easily, and I felt so comfortable having her take care of Gino because she was communicating so well with me and this is without having a meet and greet prior. Great first experience!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Branchburg

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Branchburg on Rover is $28.89 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 6,284 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Branchburg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Branchburg stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Branchburg. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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.
