Mia did an absolutely wonderful job caring for our home and dogs (and chickens and fish)! She sent so many pictures and was super communicative. I would rebook with her in a heartbeat!

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats for years and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I understand the importance of patience, safety, and consistency when caring for pets. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I’m responsible, dependable, and will treat every pet like they’re my own. I work full-time, but I’m available for cat visits before or after work and on most weekends. I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible and will always communicate clearly about my availability. I understand how important consistency is for cats and will make sure they receive reliable care and attention. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your care instructions, including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box cleaning, walk, medication (if needed), and playtime. I always respect your home, keep everything clean and secure, and provide updates with photos so you can feel confident that your cat is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

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!

Jennifer was amazing at taking care of our babies and home while we left town for a week to visit family! They usually take awhile to warm up to people but they seemed to adjust fine and happily with her company which made me feel so relieved!! I was so happy with all of the pictures and updates since it was our first time leaving them for such a long trip, we would definitely love to have her come back and visit Charlie & Henry again :)

Hadija is an outstanding dog and house sitter! We are so grateful for her thoughtful and kind care she gave to our dog, Edna. We had to book a dog sitter on short notice over a holiday weekend and we couldn’t have been luckier that Hadija was able to watch Edna last minute! She sent us regular video updates and made sure Edna kept to her usual routine. It was a relief to be able to travel and know that our dog was so well cared for. We highly recommend Hadija for dog/house sitting. She was also a very courteous house guest.

We had a fantastic experience with Micaela! We decided on a spontaneous 3-day vacation and needed someone reliable to care for our two dogs — and she absolutely delivered. Micaela covered three long 11-hour shifts and took such great care of our pups. Our dogs were happy, calm, and clearly felt safe and comfortable the entire time. She was also respectful and kind with my dad, who was home during the visits, and made sure everything ran smoothly. We came home to relaxed dogs and peace of mind — couldn’t have asked for more. Highly recommend Micaela to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter!

About: Pets are family. They deserve to be treated with the highest quality of care. I have had 8 years of experience pet sitting, pet walking, and pet care. I take pride in not only my love for animals, but my ability to provide a peace of mind for pet parents alike. I have a flexible work schedule and therefore am able to accommodate pets with more bathroom breaks, walks, and overnight stays if needed. It is also something embedded into my daily life with my own pets. In my clients home I aim to make both pet and pet parent as comfortable as possible. Ensuring directions are reviewed between myself and you before a service is necessary and critical in order to ensure the best possible care of your pet.

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: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was a teenager, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up around both dogs and cats taught me how to understand their different personalities, needs, and behaviors from an early age. Over the years, I’ve gained hands on experience with pets of all ages, and sizes. I truly enjoy creating a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for them. Whether it’s going on walks, playtime, feeding, giving medication, or simply providing companionship and affection, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet who is a part of your family. I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I am currently a law student and will also be completing a summer internship. With a flexible schedule and the ability to work from home two days a week, I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, feedings, playtime, and companionship. I also offer overnight stays to help pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I understand the importance of reliability, communication, and consistency when caring for someone’s pet, and I’m committed to providing attentive and dependable care that fits each pet’s individual needs. I provide care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay in a familiar and stress-free environment while their owners are away. I make it a priority to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I always take the time to build trust and make them feel safe, calm, and cared for. In addition to meeting their daily needs, I also provide plenty of attention, companionship, and affection so pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it’s keeping an energetic dog active with walks and playtime or giving a cat quiet companionship and care, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I also make sure owners feel reassured by providing updates, photos, and clear communication throughout the stay.

Dan kept my cats well exercised and made sure they had all their supplements. He was able to give allergy meds as well, which they're sometimes finnicky about. For the anxiety cucumbers my cats usually are, Dan had them remarkably relaxed and comfortable around him. I got plenty of photos and positive updates. After how well my cats took to him, he's definitely going to be who I book with anytime I need a cat sitter.

Micaela is THE BEST. We booked her last minute for a 10 day trip for our wedding and honeymoon. She was supposed to stay with our 3 pets for 5 days but was beyond flexible when we asked to extend because of the snow storm. My animals were so happy. She sent lots of pics and updates and made sure we came back to a clean house. We hope to have you over again :) thank you for everything and your little buddies miss you!!

FAQs for House Sitting - East Brunswick

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in East Brunswick on Rover is $77.7 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 7,199 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across East Brunswick. 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 Brunswick 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 Brunswick 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 Brunswick 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 Brunswick. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
