“We'd definitely book with Kayla again. Super responsive, sends updates/pics, clearly great with animals. We can tell our cat liked her. Gave us peace of mind while we were traveling.”
“Purvi was so great with my dogs, who can be very anxious around people. They took to her immediately! Her tone and manner with them was perfect. I would highly recommend Purvi as an attentive caretaker and good communicator.”
“Emma is the best! I have such peace of mind when she’s taking care of my boys while I’m away. She follows all of their care instructions carefully, and gives them lots of love. Thank you so much, Emma!”
“Thank you so much to Joanna! I came home to happy and relaxed pups, who received thoughtful care and loving attention. My home was spotless. Joanna provided me with great communication, updates and pictures throughout her stay. We are so extremely grateful because Joanna was able to step in at the last minute. We would definitely recommend her, and I hope to be able to book her as a sitter again.”
“I recently hired Jake as my dog walker, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! He truly went above and beyond my expectations. Not only did he take excellent care of my dog, but he also picked up my mail and even cleaned up my house, which was a delightful surprise. Communication was top-notch; Jake kept me well informed throughout the entire process and sent me tons of pictures, which made me feel connected and reassured while I was away. His attentiveness and dedication to my dog's well-being were evident, and I wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog walker!”
“Alexis did a great job sitting for Pearl. She came to meet her and get oriented to the house ahead of time. She confirmed the booking quickly and followed up with a message the day before the job. Alexis took good care of our cat and kept us updated with texts and photos. She followed all instructions and left the house clean. I recommend hiring her!”
About: Hi! I’m a 22 year old recent college grad looking to walk dogs while I wait to start my full-time job in Mexico this winter. I’ve been on Rover for about 3 years where I’ve made great connections with clients and their pets. Feel free to reach out to ask about my availability! I can currently accept weekly bookings! Most of my mornings/afternoons are free for the time being so feel free to reach out and ask about a date/time. I have 2 cats of my own and live with 4 dogs at home. I also have 8 reptiles including 5 snakes and 3 geckos.
About: I have owned many pets from dogs to cats to bunnies to even a snake. Throughout my life neighbors, friends, family, and others have consistently relied on me to watch and take care of their pets. I also volunteer at animals shelters in my free time and have fostered kittens in the past. I currently work part time with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I am happy to accommodate specific schedules. I am very respectful of other people’s spaces and only hope to make your pets as well taken care of as possible with the instructions given.
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter with about 6 years of occasional experience helping family, friends, and private clients with dog sitting and house sitting. I offer overnight house sitting and drop-in visits, making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m experienced with feeding routines, walks, basic grooming, and giving medications when needed. I’ve cared for a range of dogs, from small terriers to larger breeds like Labs and Staffordshire/pit bull mixes, and I’m comfortable adjusting to different energy levels and personalities. Along with pet care, I also help with light house tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, and keeping things tidy while you’re away. I currently have a mini lop bunny at home, so I’m also familiar with small animal care and the extra gentleness and attention they need. Since I can’t have a dog of my own right now, I love being able to spend time with other people’s pets and give them attention and care while their owners are away. My schedule is flexible, but I do work a full-time Monday–Friday job. I’m remote two days a week, which gives me extra flexibility for drop-in visits, walks, and pet care during the workday when needed. For overnight stays, I can adjust my routine to stay in the home and make sure pets are kept on their normal schedule with consistent care and attention. I’m also available for morning, evening, and weekend care depending on what’s needed. I like to plan my time around the pet’s routine as much as possible so they feel comfortable, cared for, and not disrupted while their owners are away. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I always prioritize keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific house rules. I’m very mindful about safety. I make sure doors are secured, pets are supervised during walks, and nothing unsafe is left within reach. I also take care to keep the home clean and respectful, and I treat every home like it’s my own. If I’m doing overnight stays, I make sure pets feel comfortable and not alone, especially at night. I also stay attentive to any changes in behavior and communicate right away if anything seems off. With pets in general, I’m calm, patient, and detail-oriented, and I always aim to make sure both the pets and the home are well cared for while owners are away.
“Rachel is lovely as a person, warm, and wonderful with pets - our daughter's dog and our cat. She sent a video showing her and the dog having so much fun! And Rachel is an excellent communicator which is so reassuring.”
“Diana is an awesome pet and house sitter. She took such good care of my two dogs and stayed in touch with me every step of the way. She also kept the house beautifully. I appreciate all the thought and care that she put into making sure that my pups were well cared for and that I felt reassured. She also sent very nice pictures regularly. Diana was also very responsible making sure that she was available if there were any problems with my flight coming home so the dogs would not be left for too long unattended. I can not say enough about how positive an experience this has been.”
About: I’ve always had multiple pets my whole life from a young age, learned responsibilities by feeding, grooming, walking, entertaining, training and medically providing for all my pets and any animal in my care. I have experience working in multiple vet clinics throughout my childhood as I was a pre-vet major up until junior year of college so I have a lot of experience with all kinds of animals and medical knowledge as well. I now have my own dog, Appa, who is 2 that I raised from a puppy and am currently self training. I am currently a phd grad student at vanderbilt university so I have morning classes and lab work, but I live right down the road from campus (less than 5 min drive) and I always come home immediately after my classes/work to be home with Appa. Pet care fits into my daily schedule as I spend as much time as i can working from home so I can be with my dog. I have a 1 bedroom apartment and i live with my 2 year old fur baby named Appa! I have an apt with room for some zoomies and room to play with toys, I have a balcony if they like being outside and my buidling also has a small dog park on the roof with 2 fenced circular yards lined with turf so they can run around at a mini park as much as they want!
About: I am an active individual and love the outdoors! If you have a pup who likes to run, I do not mind going for a jog. I have a small 9 year old Yorkie who loves other dogs and invites them happily into our home. My husband and I recently lost our senior dog who was almost 17. We have a lot of experience with providing senior dogs with a comfortable and extra loving home. I have puppy experience as well! We live on a beautiful property with 4 acres of land. While our yard is not fenced, we sit back from the road and I have taken my friend's dogs out on leash in our yard with no problems. It's a big yard with lots of exploring opportunities. I also enjoy going to the preserve in town to walk my dog and can happily do the same with yours. My husband and I take care of our Yorkie daily. On the days I have provided availability, I am home for the day/night. This allows me the time to care for another dog with our Yorkie. In the summertime, I plan to have weekday availability as I am a teacher and will be on summer break. I have a beautiful piece of property that while not fenced, sits back from the road and is great for a good walk through the grass on leash. I also love going for walks at our local preserve and live on a road that is pretty quiet that I frequently walk my dog on. I am always happy to stop in for a drop in visit while you are away for the day and need care for your pet. I am happy to crate your dog if needed.
About: When I’m not at work, I spend most of my time with our 9 year old rescue dog Cooper, or spending time going on walks as a family. In my spare time, I’ve had the pleasure of fostering 7 rescue dogs in our home until they all were matched with a loving family and their forever homes❤️. Lover of all animals (cats included, although I cannot pet them due to allergies🤧). I enjoy getting to meet and take care of all sorts of pets on Rover. I’ve even had the chance to feed a families horses while they were away on vacation. If your fuzzy family member needs a babysitter, a nice walk, or anything in between then feel free to send me a message! Currently open 7 days a week for availability. Feel free to reach out regarding availability or with any questions, and I’m also happy to do a meet and greet if preferred. For high energy dogs I have taken them on neighborhood walks, hikes, or played toys with them. I always let the pet parent guide me on what their dog is up for. We have a senior dog gentleman of our own, so for dogs with a milder temperament I am happy to take them on short walks or can hang inside with them if that’s more their speed.
About: I am accepting new clients for housing sitting, drop in visits, and dog walking in New Jersey! Use code AMBIKS90872, for $20 off your first booking How does your fur baby relaxing in comfort while you are away from them sound? You’ve come to the right sitter! I am not your regular sitter trying to make a quick buck, I genuinely care about creating a safe and comfortable environment for dogs. I do not accept all requests and I request a meet and greet for all dogs older than 6 months. I carefully screen each dog to make sure they get along with me and the other dogs in the my home. I dogsit for the sheer enjoyment of taking care of your furry family member and take extra caution to not leave any room for error. I go to lengths to make myself somebody you can trust. I am a dog mom of two Cavapoodles (Yogi and Mini) and a Cavachon (Daisy) and they get along with pretty much any well mannered dog. They are sassy at first but after an hour or two, they play! I work from home. I would love to take care of your pup while at your home and/or drop in and walk your pup. I will take care of your dog as if they are my own! For the sake of safety of your pet, I do not take them to public dog parks to avoid a chance of another dog hurting them but I will however make sure he/she gets to play lots indoor/outdoors as well as walks. I make sure my dogs are having their routine of playtime, rest, and I stick to their food schedules and walk them daily. My goal is to have them happy and healthy upon your return. Your pet will never be left alone under my care. If I have to step out, my family member will be watching your pup. I am happy to provide photos and video to give you updates.
“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 ❤️”

Michelle did a fantastic job taking care of our two dogs in our home. I would recommend her without hesitation! I could tell our dogs clearly enjoyed their time with Michelle from the pictures she shared and everything at home was in great shape when we returned. I will definitely call her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - East Amwell
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 2,855 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across East Amwell. 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 East Amwell 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 East Amwell 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 East Amwell 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 East Amwell. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
