“Erinn did a great job caring for our two big dogs at our house and keeping us updated and connected while we were traveling. We will definitely seek her help when we need it in future.”
“10/10 would recommend! Jessica and Guillermo were so amazing at taking care of Zip. Zip is a reactive dog and we were quite anxious leaving him with a sitter for the first time. Jessica made us feel so comfortable for the entire week she stayed with Zip. She was communicative and sent lots of pictures that made us know he was in great care. She respected all the instructions we gave for taking Zip on walks and was very comforting knowing we were a little nervous to leave him. We had some travel delays getting home and Jessica made accommodation to stay extra time so we didn’t have to worry about Zip. Jessica and Guillermo stayed at our apartment for the week as well and were incredible guest. They were clean and gracious and even cleaned up before leaving. Safe to say Zip has new best friends and we will absolutely be booking again!”
“Stephanie was outstanding. First, she met with us to ensure a good fit for our cat. She provided examples of her responsible and reliable character as well as expectations. She provided pictures and videos almost everyday as well as feedback. Truthfully, I felt very comfortable and at ease knowing she was giving my cat the love and attention he needed. She is a “cat whisperer”.”
“was in a tough situation my regular dog walker had an accident and broke her leg and had to cancel last minute. my options where to board my dog or find a last minute person to dog sit. it was my first time uaing rover and Kreixon was the absolute best. He genuinely loves animals and went above and beyond the days he stayed with my dog. he communicated with me and gave me updates regulary on brownie and how he was doing. i would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who needs a dog sitter or walker and wants someone who genuinely cares.”
“Natalia was so great! She kept us updated every step of the way. We had some complications and needed to change some travel plans and Natalia was flexible and every easy to communicate with. Our pups loved her & we would happily work with her again! :)”
“Absolutely amazing job with my two dogs. Always showed up on time and gave them the love they needed. Followed all the instructions I left for her perfectly. Couldn't be happier, will definitely rebook!”
“Christine was great watching our dog, Ozzy! Ozzy can have stranger danger and Christine did a great job managing this. He was so well taken care of and so was our apartment. I highly recommend Christine.”
About: We are a small family with extra space (yard space included!) and time living in a very safe neighborhood. I have a small son who Loves animals is outgoing and social, and needs a furry friend! My fiancé is home 24/7 to be with the dog. His mom comes down several days a week to watch our son, allowing more doggie time. To put it simply: we moved here less than a year ago, miss being around dogs, and want to share our resources in order to provide ourselves and our son with the love that only dogs can. It's essential for me to show him the loyalty, caring spirit and safety dogs provide. We're hoping to gain fur and people friendly relationships as new Delawareans! Thank you very much for your time.
About: I have been a veterinary technician for the last 19 years. I have spent the majority of that time working at a small animal practice, but also worked at an emergency and specialty practice for 4 years during that time as well. During my career, I have dealt with numerous c-sections, geriatric, diabetic, and renal patients. Meaning that, injections, SQ fluid, oral meds, etc, are not a problem.. I have also done pet sitting on the side for many years during this time as well. I have always had a love for animals. I currently own a 9 year old mixed breed dog, as well as a cat, and chinchilla. I have had many pocket pets over the years as well. I currently work full time, overnights only, on the front end of the week. I plan accordingly, to make sure the pets needs are met before and after work shift, and spoil them extra on the days I’m off. I adjust to whatever needs the pet requires, and make our schedules work in sync so that there are no issues with bathroom breaks, or feeding/medications.
About: I babysit dogs because in my opinion a pet is like a family member, they can’t be in a cage or crate all day, and that is why I offer my services. I am very flexible to take care of your dog because I am home all day. I can take care of your dog or cat very well because I have plenty of time to devote and look forward to spending time with your fur baby I have a big fenced backyard for your dog to play in and though I have a dog, he is ok with dogs around him and they will probably get along well
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ranging from different sizes and breeds since I was 17. Neighbors, friends, and coworkers have trusted me to walk, feed, and play with their dogs, and as a lifelong pet owner myself, I understand how crucial it is to have peace of mind when leaving your pet with a sitter. I’m attentive, empathetic, and detail-oriented, making sure every pup feels safe, loved, and comfortable whether it’s energetic walks, cuddle time, or sticking to their routine. I work full-time but am available after work for walks, drop-ins, play time, or feeding, with flexible care to fit your pet’s needs Friday through Sunday. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priority! I treat every pet like family, providing safe, loving care in the comfort of your home. I’m hyper vigilant of my surroundings, making sure all doors and potential escape routes are secured, while following your instructions closely to keep your furry friend happy, calm, and secure.
“Brooke was excellent with our small dog, Hildie. She took her out very regularly and gave detailed and frequent updates. Very happy with her care and she also was very respectful of our home as well! Would definitely book Brooke again.”
“Kate truly went above and beyond! I had some last-minute changes in the middle of my booking, but she kindly stood by me and helped sort everything out, demonstrating her big love for animals. I really like her and will definitely call her again whenever I need someone, and she's always willing to take care of my babies. They had a wonderful time, and even to this day, they still look for her.”

Kailee did a wonderful job house sitting and watching our dog and kitten. She was communicative, kept us updated, sent us pictures, and followed the house instructions. I felt at ease knowing she was taking wonderful care of our babies. Will definitely be seeing her again 😊
Erin recently stayed in our home for several days with our pup. She provided exceptional care for both our dog and our home. She left the house in perfect condition, and it was clear that my dog thoroughly enjoyed her time with her. She provided photo updates throughout the stay, which gave me additional peace of mind. Erin is everything you could ask for in a sitter; she is a rare find and a true gem!
Carolina did an amazing job taking care of Bella! She was kind, attentive, and followed all of Bella’s routines perfectly. I felt completely comfortable knowing Bella was in such good hands while we were away. Carolina was also great about keeping us updated, which gave us extra peace of mind. We would absolutely recommend her and would love to have her care for Bella again!
Abigail went above and beyond to create a positive experience for Riley while we were away. She was amazing at communicating, especially when an unexpected storm hit while I was already at the airport. She did everything she could to get to Riley, which I am beyond grateful for! Throughout our trip, we felt at ease knowing Riley was with such a kind, thoughtful, and caring person. Everyday I received photos of Riley, heard how she was doing, and genuinely knew she was having a wonderful staycation. Knowing this helped me relax and enjoy our vacation. She also left our house so clean, including washing and changing our sheets. After a 9 hour flight, to come home and not have to make our bed was so wonderful! I highly recommend Abigail! We definitely will be rebooking and are so grateful we found her! Riley is too!
Jessica did a great job caring for Luna. Luna is quite shy and nervous around new people, but she felt comfortable and accepted Jessica right away, which was a huge relief for us. There was a last minute change in the overnight arrangements due to a personal matter, but Jessica communicated this and ensured Luna was well looked after during the day. We were happy to see Luna calm and will be booking her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Denville is $53 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $100 per night. 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 November 2026, there are 15,490 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Denville. 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 Denville 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 Denville 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 Denville 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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.
