“Boryana took such great care of our dog River! Received an update every evening with pictures!! She made me feel completely comfortable leaving him while I was away. I will be having her stay with River anytime we go away!”

“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.”

“Sharyn went 1000% above and beyond for our Jace ! She was patient, kind, understanding and empathetic with our scarred little pup. I was very nervous leaving him at home while we went on vacation but Sharyn eased my mind and treated jace with an overwhelming amount of care. I cant say enough amazing things about her !”

“So glad we found Ruth! She was super responsive, our girls loved her and our house was just how we left it! We will be booking her again with our next trip. Thanks Ruth!”

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!
About: As a lifelong dog parent who recently provided dedicated, high-needs care for my own senior dog, I deeply understand every stage of a pup's life—from energetic puppyhood to the gentle senior years. I am highly experienced in managing specialized routines, including administering medications and eye drops, preparing prescriptive diets, and handling accident cleanups with patience. Whether your dog needs active playtime, structured walks, or just a comforting presence to feel safe and secure, I am ready to provide the attentive love they deserve. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to attend to your pups! I'm available for house sitting and staying with your pup in their own comfy environment. Let me know what your needs are and I'll try to accommodate them! I can care for your pet in your home as you see fit! My goal is to make your pup feel happy, safe, and secure and stick to their normal routine as much as possible.

About: I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs since I was a kid. There has always been a pet in my house while growing up. My family has relied on me to feed and play with the pets while they were away. I additionally have experience in caring for both young and senior pets. I’m currently working part-time, which means I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available most days except for Wednesday & Thursday afternoons. My schedule is pretty flexible so I can accommodate if needed :) I currently have one cat in my home. I feed him, give him affection and play with him everyday. We also have a dog that lives at home with us. I take care of him when his owner is busy.
“Yana is beyond wonderful! Our Charlie is so comfortable with her and she truly takes great care of him. We are spoiled having her to take care of our very spoiled “with love” Charlie ❤️”


About: When you entrust your pet to me, you're choosing someone whose career has been built on compassion, responsibility, and exceptional care. As a registered nurse with over 12 years of experience, I understand that every living being deserves individualized attention, patience, and a safe, nurturing environment. Caring for others is second nature to me. Throughout my nursing career, I've specialized in caring for seniors and individuals with unique medical and emotional needs. Those same skills translate seamlessly to pet care. Whether your pet is a playful puppy or kitten, a senior needing extra patience, requires medication, has special needs, or simply thrives with extra love and attention, I have the experience and confidence to provide attentive, reliable care. Animals have been a part of my life since childhood, and caring for them has always been more than a job—it's a passion. In addition to nursing, I own and operate my own concierge nursing and pet care business, where trust, professionalism, and personalized service are the foundation of everything I do. I know leaving your pet behind can be stressful. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind by treating your dog or cat like a member of my own family. You'll receive dependable communication, regular updates, and the reassurance that your pet is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you're away. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all pet care. Every pet has a unique personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel happy, secure, and loved from the moment they arrive. My commitment is to provide the same level of compassion, attention, and professionalism that I would want for my own pets. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work as a nurse three days a week, which allows me plenty of flexibility and dedicated time on my days off to focus on pet care. On my off days, I structure my schedule around the pets I’m caring for by making sure they receive consistent attention, exercise, feeding, playtime, and any needed special care or medication. Because I’m used to working in a caregiving profession, I’m very organized and attentive to routines, which helps pets feel comfortable and secure. My goal is to provide dependable, unhurried care so each pet gets the attention they deserve, whether that’s extra walks, cuddle time, or sticking closely to their normal routine. I provide flexible, reliable, and attentive care both in my home and in my clients’ homes, depending on what works best for you and your pet. I offer drop-in visits, daily care, and overnight stays, as well as boarding in my own home where pets are welcomed into a safe, calm, and loving environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions closely including feeding schedules, walks, medication, playtime, and any special routines are handled with consistency and care. I prioritize keeping pets comfortable in their familiar surroundings while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. When pets stay in my home, they are treated like part of the family. I provide a clean, safe, and supervised environment where they receive plenty of attention, affection, and individualized care throughout the day. In all settings, I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, respect, and genuine love. I also believe in clear communication, so I provide regular updates and check-ins to give you peace of mind while you're away. My goal is always to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for at all times.
About: Hello! I’m Catherine aka Cat. I am a proud cat mom to Sunny and Luna and I’m also a proud Dog Aunt to Winnie. I had a dog growing up named Mickey, he was a miniature pincher. I love dogs so much, unfortunately my apartment complex does not allow dogs. I will definitely spoil and love on your dogs! I am in college Full time, but most are online so I can do it anywhere! I’d prefer to work in your home, I am willing to clean and help with household chores if needed and run errands I do not offer services in my own home. Sunny my big boy has some cat-attude! I am unsure how Sunny would react to other pets. Also, my apartment doesn’t allow dogs.
About: I've had dogs since I was 14 and have taken care of them for family and friends over the years. That includes small and big dogs, young and old. Dogs in general seem to be drawn to me. I'm currently working part-time so that gives me more time to care for your pets and give them the attention they need and deserve. The best thing I can do is make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible while you're away. I do that by keeping them in their same routine everyday and giving them a lot of attention.
“Lizbeth was personable and professional, and we felt comfortable leaving our two pups in her care at our home. Everything went smoothly, no issues were reported, and she stayed in communication throughout the sitting session, which we really appreciated. We would definitely recommend her and plan to use her services again in the near future.”
About: Hello! My name is Andrea, and I absolutely love dogs (and, not to brag, but the feeling is usually mutual!). I’m currently home full-time after pivoting from a 24-year career in drinking water safety following my second cancer diagnosis. I’m thrilled to say I’ve been cancer-free for almost three years—and working with dogs has brought me more joy and fulfillment than I could have imagined. Our household includes me, my husband, and two young adult children—one away at college in Texas. We share our home with two lovable pups: Lua, a 10-year-old Boxer/Plott Hound mix, and Nacho, a 9-year-old Basset Hound. We have a spacious fenced-in backyard, and when the weather is nice, we often keep the sliding door open so the dogs can come and go as they please. We love those days when the yard is full of happy pups running and playing—it feels just like our own private dog park! Dogs who stay with us have full run of the house, and they’re welcome to get cozy on couches and beds. If you prefer certain rules for your dog (no furniture, staying off certain floors, etc.), I’m happy to follow your guidelines so their routine stays consistent. In addition to hosting dogs in our home, I also enjoy cat sitting, dog walking, and providing doggy day care when needed. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved—so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands at “camp.” I’ll send daily photo updates so you can see how they’re doing, and I guarantee they’ll head home happy, well cared for, and ready for a good nap! As a policy, we request that all new dog clients who plan to stay overnight have a meet-and-greet at our home first. It’s a great way for both humans and dogs to get to know each other and for us to discuss your pet’s needs so we can make their stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible. If you want, I can also make you a shorter, eye-catching version for your Rover “About” preview so it hooks people before they click to read the full profile. That way you get both a great first impression and the full detail for those who want to know more. Pet care is my entire day. I am fully devoted to my and your animals. My schedule revolves around your needs and can accomodate any request or need. We are a household of 4, myself, my husband and two young adult children. You can see from my profile photos that everyone in our house takes part in the care and loving of your animals. We all love it!
“Kelly was a great communicator. Our dogs loved getting to know her. She was responsible with giving one of our dogs medication and following our routine. We wil be using her again for dog sitting needs.”


“Once again, Ami and James saved the day with a last minute emergency house sitting needed! Ami was incredibly communicative and even taught my young pup how to conquer the stairs. I highly recommend booking Ami and James!”

“shanette gets 5 big stars for her on time and attentive care for my dog. she is also very patient with my young dog who has lots of energy. I would use Shanette anytime she’s available.”

About: We always had pets growing up. Mom to young kids who love animals. Great exercise and fun for the kids! Reliable, trustworthy, and will take the utmost care of your animal. I’m part remote and kids are in nursery school part time so someone is usually always home throughout the week. Weekends are usually spent exploring a park or playground. If I’m dog sitting that week the pup always comes along! Always looking to get some fresh air, exercise, and meet new fur friends! I have a fenced (aluminum) in yard and my house is baby proof so gates in play room and upstairs. Your pet will become a fur family member while you are away and my kids and husband will love them. Im currently working part time remote so I can board at any time in the week as my schedule is very flexible. If I’m not home then my husband will be home with our kiddos and your pup. I have a fenced in yard and play gates in my house (for my kids) but also gives everyone space if needed. We go out for walks 2/3 times a day and we have a local playground we walk too in the neighborhood for some extra play. The kids love to engage with the pup and we usually spend a good amount of time outside throwing the ball or stick.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cranbury
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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The average cost of House Sitting in Cranbury is $75 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $58 and $122 per night.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 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.
