About: I have love and deep respect for animals, my experience is based on taking care of both dogs and cats and nothing would make me happier than having the opportunity to make income doing what I like. I am willing to take care of any kind of pets, always open to suggestions and to improve every day more. My house does not have a closed yard but I am extremely careful to avoid any incidents, I live near a lake so we can have very pleasant walks. I am at home full time so I can stay with them and give them excellent quality time. Play, time to pee and poop and just walk. My yard is open, I am extremely careful and I always walk on a leash. My Labrador is very playful and loves dog company 😍
“Lana once again took great care of our dog Henry while we were away for two days. It’s so comforting to know that Henry is being cared for and loved while we are gone. Lana’s drop in were on time and river cards were detailed. She even took in some packages that were delivered while we were away!”
About: I’ll take care of your beloved pet as if they were my own — with love, kindness and patience. Most of all, I will be sensitive to their needs and limitations (i.e. making sure pavement is not too hot, monitoring them for cold/ heat exposure, etc.) I will make time to fit you and your pet's schedule to walk your dog at the optimal time. Flexible with regard to weather, esp. for pets who are sensitive to heat and cold. During each walk I am prepared to keep your pet safe and protect them from other animals and traffic depending on where we walk by carrying bear spray, air horn, head harness, water bowl, or whatever the situation calls for. I also have an access to car pick up if there is an emergency. Ask me about the charity I am donating to, and a promo code to save money on your first booking! I am à school speech therapist and have limited availability. Right now I am willing to take on 1-2 clients per day. If you are able, please request a free trial / meet and greet before your first booking. I can walk your dog in your neighborhood or take them to a park for a fun outing! If they are not up to walking on that day, we can just play or smell the grass together! My goal is for your dog to have an immersive, engaging walk so they are can rest when they get home- dog and human together, enjoying outdoors with all 5 senses!
About: Compassionate pet-lover experienced with dogs and cats. Having pets all my life I enjoy providing care, exercise, feeding, and dependable attention while owners are away. I work from home part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. As a parent, I'm organized, dependable, and experienced managing daily routines, making it easy to provide pets with the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I provide fresh food and water, walks or playtime, litter box or waste cleanup, medication if needed, and plenty of affection and companionship. I also keep the home tidy, respect my clients' property, and provide regular updates with photos so pet owners have peace of mind while they're away.
About: Growing up on a farm, I developed a special bond with animals. I was always surrounded by furry friends, learning to care for them. I have a unique connection with cats and dog. They have always been my loyal companions and playful buddies. I can sense when something’s off with an animal and respond with care. Friends and family call me an animal whisperer. I can’t wait to meet your cats and dogs, love them, and treat them like my own! 💝 ****Unfortunately I do not offer 24/7 care**** I’m currently in between jobs so I have plenty of time to love and care for your pets. Even when I am employed, I always make it a priority to take care of your pets. This isn’t just a side job for me, this is my passion. However I DO NOT offer 24/7 care as I have pets of my own to care for. For your home, my goal is safety and peace of mind for you. I will make sure gates are secured, leashes are buckled and doors are closed to prevent any sort of escapes.

“Gabe did an excellent job caring for our two cats while we were away! One of them requires insulin injections and has a few quirks, and Gabe handled everything with confidence and care. He clearly paid attention during the meet and greet and followed instructions closely. Communication was great, and we felt totally at ease knowing they were in good hands. We’d happily book with Gabe again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Budd Lake
We had Jaylene visit our 2 dogs, let them out, feed them dinner and hang out with them while we were at a wedding. She did a great job with them, especially our dog who takes a long time to get accustomed to strangers. We got great updates and pictures, which provided peace of mind while we were out. Thank you!!
would like to sincerely thank Kathryn for the wonderful care she has given to Rocky Duke and for overseeing Blair. She is a genuinely caring, trustworthy, and dependable person who always goes above and beyond. Knowing they were in her care gave me complete peace of mind. I highly recommend Kathryn to anyone looking for someone compassionate, reliable, and dedicated. Thank you, Kathryn, for everything you did for my babies.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Budd Lake is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $28 per visit. 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 4,621 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Budd Lake. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Budd Lake. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% 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.
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.
