Boryana is an extremely professional and reliable pet sitter. She has excellent communication skills, is very attentive to details, and did an outstanding job taking care of my cats. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for high-quality pet sitting services!

Sharyn was outstanding in taking care of our chow chow Khan. She did such a good job Khan barely missed us. She stayed at our home and took care of watering all our plants. I would not hesitate to use her again.

About: I understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping their routine consistent, I treat every pet with the same patience and kindness I would want for my own two fur babies. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and dependable hands. Pictures and updates will be provided, so you can have consistent peace of mind. Im currently at home due to it being summer break so I have a lot of free time for the time being. I am very flexible when it comes to time and last minute bookings for the next two months. I have two handsome boys of my own Teddy(12) and Vader (4). I do not have a fenced in yard so they love going out on simple walks, big hikes, lakes, the beach and going to the park. With previous clients I would bring their pups with us as well or just keep them in their own neighborhood and in their routines to make sure they’re always happy and comfortable, It’s definitely all up to the parents.

Where to begin on the awesomeness of Holli? This woman basically single-handedly saved my entire vacation multiples times through the period that she dog/housesat for me. Last minute replacement for my original dogsitter (who was having a bit of a mental breakdown)? Handled. Fire alarms go off and my apartment got water in it? Handled. Holli rolled with the punches, taking care of my apartment AND my dog (who LOVES her and had a super fun week). She even gave Livy a good brushing, and she looks BEAUTIFUL! I will definitely be booking with her again. She's a lifesaver.

Stacey was as advertised per previous reviews. She communicates extensively, which I love because when it comes to our pup I want to be informed and leave nothing up to chance. We will definitely be using her going forward.

Megan is hands down the best sitter who has ever watched Cujo while I've been out of town. Quick to respond to a last minute request, took the time to do a meet&greet, asked excellent questions, and Cujo could not have been in better hands. In all the adorable pictures Megan sent, I could see that he was having an absolute blast. The apt was spotless when I got home and Cujo seemed genuinely bummed that his new BFF had to leave. I cannot recommend her highly enough and she will be my go-to for any trips I have to take in the future.

Vee was absolutely wonderful! She cared for my dog with love and dedication and left my home in pristine condition. She communicated regularly and was very responsible. Most important, she was patient and determined to get my dog to eat and take her meds (she is older and has health issues) and kept me informed. I could not ask for better care! My dog is happy and healthy!

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for the past couple years. I have taken care of both family and friends dogs as well as neighbors from word of mouth. I am currently working remotely part time from home so I am generally pretty free to dog sit or pop in to feed any pets during the day. I can't take care of any pets in my home, but can go to your home and either dog sit from there or walk your dog.

Yasmine was absolutely incredible and I highly recommend! My girls aren't too difficult but they are certainly particular and Yasmine killed it. She stayed at my place for a week and when I returned, it looked exactly as I had left it. I've finally come home from a trip and genuinely felt like my girls were taken care of.

About: I can take on the most hyper of dogs (I have one myself). I understand the high demand of a hyper dog and am ready to walk and play with your furry friend! I can also care for small critters! I work 2p-10p full time as a behavior specialist with individuals with autism. I am available most mornings and am available for overnights after 10pm! I always ensure that my pets have everything they need: lots of love, an extra long walk on sunny days, toys to play with, and food that meets their diets needs.

Shalini took great care of Buttercup while we were away overnight. She communicated well, sent lots of photos and updates, left the house in pristine condition, and kept Buttercup great company, as evidenced by the happy dog we returned home to. We’d absolutely use her again in the future!

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lovers with a deep passion of caring for pets of all kinds. Growing up surrounded by cats, dogs, and plenty of other furry (and not-so-furry) friends taught me how much love and care they deserve. My top priority is always making sure your pets are happy, healthy, and feeling loved. From feeding routines and walks to cuddle time (or just calm company for the more independent types), I make sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for according to their unique personality. I love keeping pets engaged with fun, stimulating activities. For cats, that might mean interactive toys, puzzle feeders, or laser play. For dogs, it’s usually games of fetch, tug-of-war, or a good old-fashioned frisbee toss. Even reptiles get the same thoughtful attention (maybe less cuddling, but plenty of care and respect!). Every pet deserves the best care possible, and that’s what I promise to provide. Whether you’re going away for a day or a week, I will treat your furry family member as if they were our own. I’d love to meet your pets and help you feel at ease while you’re away!

Boryana was absolutely amazing with our three dogs over the Thanksgiving holiday. From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease leaving our pups in her care. She was incredibly attentive and loving, making sure each dog got individual attention, walks, playtime, and plenty of snuggles. Boryana followed all of our instructions perfectly, kept the house neat, and sent us thoughtful updates and photos so we always knew everyone was happy and relaxed. We came home to three calm, content dogs and a home exactly as we left it. It’s clear Boryana truly cares about the animals she’s looking after, and that kind of peace of mind is priceless. Five stars isn’t enough—highly recommend Boryana and would absolutely book her again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Francisco initially was great and spent a lot of time with my girls. But, the last day he only came for ten minutes, in the evening my one cat receives morning and night meds.

FAQs for House Sitting - Cranbury

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Cranbury on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,936 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cranbury. 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 Cranbury 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 Cranbury 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 Cranbury 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.

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

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
