“Mikki was the best! Our pets were well taken care of, our house was cleaner than we left it, and we received communication and updates daily. Absolutely would recommend and will book with again!”
“It was our first time using Rover. And we booked last minute when our dog became ill. Elly was fantastic! Her communication was great, she helped our dog with meds, she sent photos…most definitely an A+. We will most definitely be booking with her again!”
“I am beyond thrilled to recommend Jill for dog sitting. It was my first time using her and I was very impressed. She is extremely professional, thinks of every detail (that I would forget), was meticulous and awesome with my dog, Frankie. She stayed over for a long weekend and spent a lot of time with Frank, walked him, sent tons of pictures and updates so we were very confident that he was well looked after. Had there been an issue (there wasn’t) I feel Jill could have easily handled it. I look forward to using Jill for my next vacation and I’m pretty sure Frankie will look forward to it as well!”
“Sabrina house sat and watched our two black labs (9 year old and 1 year old) for a 3-day weekend get away, and she was awesome. She walked and played with them which included their favorite activity of fetch in the pool. Both dogs were clearly well cared for and tired out upon our return home. We will be using Sabrina again.”
“Elizabeth was WONDERFUL. Elizabeth is kind & sweet and I know she gave loving care to Billy. Elizabeth sent us pictures everyday with updates as to how the day went. Which was always a good day with Billy. Elizabeth is responsible caring not only for our dog Billy but also our home. Highly recommend Elizabeth, oh, our house was cleaner when we came home than when we left.”
“Things were as we left them. She was Polite. Sweet and kind to all our animals. And she is a Christian women that I didn’t mind having in my HOUSE ….. When we got home the babies were happy and they got fed well. Thank you Carol for rescuing us from our sitter Troubles .. so nice to meet you MAAM . We are rebooking soon .”
“Diana took amazing care of our dog Max! She was communicative and kept us updated, made sure he was happy and comfortable. We felt at ease knowing Max was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my fur babies with Leah! She came to meet them before we left for our trip and were very welcoming with her. That’s a good sign in my book! We got daily pictures and videos which was my favorite! Will be requesting her to house/pet sit again in the future!!”
“Katie did a great job with caring for my 2 male cats for a week. One of my cats had been recently diagnosed with a medical issue. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that Katie was staying at my house & frequently checking up on him.”
About: Growing up always having dogs and cats, lizards, fish and even a tarantula, I am no stranger to pet care. I have previously worked at a vet clinic as a kennel technician, gaining lots of knowledge of pet care there along with learning a lot about pet health. I also used to work at a dog boarding facility that ran a tight schedule, so I am used to following the schedule needs of every pet. As I am now back in school, I would love to take care of your pets the environment that they are used to. My schedule may vary, so don’t be afraid to send me a message to double check!! I have classes from 11am-1pm Mondays-Thursdays this semester and my weekends (Friday-Sunday) are completely free. Wednesdays my schedule is full due to personal reasons, thank you. I can feed, walk, play, supervise, take potty, and administer medication like insulin shots, etc. I can watch over them and take care of pets if the owner is out of town as well.
“Frankie was great! The dogs had fun, the house was in good shape, and Frankie did everything I asked, including sending frequent pictures. Would definitely book with them again!”
“Damian did a great job taking care of my dog and house sitting while I was on an extended trip. My dog got along great with Damian. He took Finn for a walk at the park and in the neighborhood. While house sitting and providing dog care, Damian swept the floor, rain the dishwasher, and laundered the towels before leaving. He was trustworthy and respectful in my home. I recommend Damian highly.”
“Alexis always takes amazing care of my pup, he loves playing with her and her dog Riley, they are the best of friends! She is courteous and respectful of my house and I always can travel worry free knowing my pup is in great hands until I come home. Highly recommend!”
“Bella is always so wonderful with gory and so easy to work with! Knowing she was there to take care of gory made me feel very secure knowing I left my dog with someone safe and caring.”
“Doris took such great care of our 12 week old puppy, Gobi! We needed a last minute dog sitter at our house and we are so happy we found Doris. The house was left clean and Gobi was so happy when we came home, so we know he had the best time with her. Thank you, Doris!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cedar Grove
Robin was great. She kept us informed with how our pups were doing and provided plenty of pics while we were away. It felt like we had a good friend watching our pups for us. Left everything clean and just like it was when we left. Will definitely book with her again.
Robin did a fantastic job taking care of my fur kids. I came home to a very content atmosphere. I needed to be able to count on someone staying with them until I got home. I had a very late flight home and she took care of them until I landed. Will definitely use again.
Robin did a great job communicating with me and sending me photos. It's such a comfort to be able to have someone stay in my house so Anya can stay in her own home not be anxious. The house was left in great shape with no mess anywhere. Would definitely have Robin stay with Anya again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cedar Grove on Rover is $43.29 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 1,265 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cedar Grove. 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 Grove 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 Grove 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 Grove 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.

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.
