About: I have had a wide range of experience caring for a variety of pets ever since I was a young child. I have taken care of dogs and cats for over a decade. Your pet will have all the attention and care they need during their time with me or in my home. I work Monday to Friday with weekends off. I am able to care for them before and right after work, with family home during the day as well. I care for pets by feeding them their proper diet, playing with them/making them feel welcome, making sure their bathroom needs are met, and updating the owners.
“SirJahad was a fantastic housesitter for my 5 month old puppy and cat. He sent plenty of pictures and detailed messages over the three days we were away. He followed our instructions and took our rambunctious dog on several walks daily.”
“Zahira was a great dog and housesitter! She was punctual, very communicative and sent plenty of photos and videos of our dog each day. Our pup was happy and healthy when we got home. We’ve already booked her to watch our dog again! Highly recommend, thanks so much!!”

“Nicole was diligent in caring for our dog and bought him a couple of new toys that he loves! She was cheerful and exhibited a great ability in being able to manage his rambunctious behaviors from the very first day. We appreciated her dependability and punctuality.”
About: Ever since I was old enough to stay home alone, I've always enjoyed taking care of pets. Overtime I've gotten used to walking, feeding, and entertaining dogs for my friends and relatives. I currently work 2 jobs, with Sunday as my consistent day off. Despite having multiple jobs, most of my shifts don't exceed 5-6 hours. Both jobs and home are not far from each other. I am all about adopting the dog’s routine whether it be playing in the yard and going for long walks, or spending quality time indoors. I’m always observing behavior, ensuring that I can take care of them to my utmost ability.

“Maddy was an amazing house sitter for our boy Oliver. We cannnot recommend her enough. She was clean and kept us updated on Oliver while we were away. She will be our go too from now on!”
“Kimberly was amazing! I am so beyond happy that we found her!! My dogs are my babies and she treated them as her own! She sent pictures daily and even FaceTimed us when we were missing them so much!

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including raising and working closely with a Boxer, which taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding a dog’s unique personality and energy. In addition to my experience with dogs, I’ve also owned and cared for cats, giving me a well-rounded understanding of different pet needs and behaviors. I’ve always had a natural connection with animals and genuinely enjoy building trust with them, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Whether it’s an energetic walk or quiet companionship, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I also have volunteer experience with a local animal rescue and even fostered and homed 5 different cats. I have a very flexible schedule and am available anytime, Monday through Friday, to accommodate your pet’s needs—whether that’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or extended sitting. I also offer availability on select weekends with advance notice, so I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. My goal is to provide reliable, consistent care you can count on whenever you need it. I currently provide care in my clients’ homes to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I prioritize safety, trust, and respect by carefully following all instructions, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, and house rules. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure, and I stay attentive to each pet’s behavior to ensure they feel safe and stress-free. I treat every home with respect—keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. My goal is to create a calm, reliable experience so both you and your pet feel completely at ease while you’re away.
About: I Have a whole lot of love and patience to give when you cant be with your fury companion. I have had dogs for 25 years (lost my longtime ones of 14/16 years old years back) and Because my heart still yearned to wanting to provide that love and quality of life every animal deserves, I turned to dog sitting and rescue/foster. I have a clean home with a fenced in yard. I want your pet to feel comfortable in their surroundings and will cater to the life they typically lead when with you(laying w me, play time ,walks, treat time, med administer, etc). When your fur baby leaves, I want them to leave happy and waiting for their next return. For the most part I only take 1 Dog at a time. I will always have my 4.5 year old Terrier mix Female. She is 11 pounds. (Very love able and low key. She was a “foster fail” who We just couldn’t part with. She fairs well w smaller, low key dogs). I will also consider caring for caged small birds/animals as I have done so for clients. It will be an extra $5-$10 per day. I Always send updates and pics while in my care. I would love to talk w you about your fur baby. Please feel free to reach out. Please also understand the communication process for meet and greets and bookings is imperative.to maintain(within 24 hour responses), or I will offer the inquiry of date to the next person that wishes to proceed immediately. Example: Request booking or meet and greet, I respond I’m available and don’t hear back within 24 hrs w a set date to proceed. I like to be fair to my fur baby customers who truly need me. All my best! I do work outside of the home. During that time your pup will be have everything they need to relax (I play gentle dog relaxing music in the background). My fury house guests just love this so! It’s a calming effect. I have a fenced in yard, always give lots of attention(endless belly rubs), and provide A relaxing, low key environment. I want them to enjoy their time Here.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cedar Brook on Rover is $20.72 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 4,459 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cedar 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 Cedar 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 Cedar 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 Cedar 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.
