This is our 2nd time using Jonathan. We had a vet emergency 1 hr before our flight, and he came to the vet office, picked up meds, and administered them while we were away. Incredibly kind and responsible person!

I simply cannot say enough positive things about Adriane and her petsitting services. This was my very first experience using Rover. Up until recently, I'd been soliciting petsitting assistance from neighbors or my friends' older children. Suffice it to say, I didn't know these people very well and I was always a little bit uncomfortable wherever I went away and needed to leave my little guy alone. Adriane helped me completely eliminate those concerns, which allowed me to enjoy my vacation without any worries. This alone was well worth the price of admission! Adriane was personable, professional, and extremely easy to work with. She sent me updates and photos every single day. I would not hesitate to use her services again nor to recommend her to friends/family/the Rover community.

Mike was communicative, adherent to our schedule, and followed all instructions requested of him. He also sent a ton of pictures, which I really appreciated. It was refreshing to just be able to enjoy my trip knowing that my dog was taken care of. I would absolutely recommend him to others (just not during the times I’m away 😉)

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes. Friends, family, and members of my community have trusted me to help care for their pets when they are away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care. I am dependable, responsible, and committed to providing the same level of care that I would want for my own pets. I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule during the summer. I am available for dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine. I understand how important consistency is for pets and am committed to providing reliable and attentive care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. During walks and drop-in visits, I will carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and leash requirements. I understand that every pet is different, and I will take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I will also provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind.

Michael was so amazing with my senior orange Ray Cat. What a wonderful job giving him his medicine 2 times and day, brushing, playing and treats. I always get worried because my boy can be a handle full at times, but Michael was such a amazing person for Ray Cat. Highly recommend and I feel so safe having him as Ray's sitter. Again thank you so much!

Wow! My husband and I were so thankful for Rebecca! She accepted our last minute request during Thanksgiving when no other facilities would accept our 110 lb Rottweiler! She was in contact with my husband and I and sent many pictures of our dog on walks and also gave him medication and put his food out twice a day. My dog really enjoyed his time with her. She totally took the stress out of leaving our puppy at home and we enjoyed our vacation without a single worry! I would recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for a caring, responsible and dependable dog sitter

About: Hi! I’m a full-time work-from-home dog lover who provides a safe, loving, and active environment for your pup while you’re away. Because I work from home, your dog will get plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day — not be left alone for long hours. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor playtime, and my family loves spending time outside on walks, playing, and enjoying fresh air with our furry guests. We also have children who are gentle, caring, and experienced around dogs. Caring for animals has always been a big part of our lives, and I regularly dog sit for family and friends. Recently, we had to say goodbye to our longtime family dog due to age and health issues, which only deepened our appreciation for the love and companionship pets bring into a home. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog, and I’ll treat your pet like part of the family — with lots of love, patience, attention, and belly rubs. Whether your dog loves walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm place to relax, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for during their stay. I currently work from home full time so your pet will not be left alone. I have the flexibility for walks during the day and a fully fenced yard for play time outside. I have a large fenced yard that pets always will be able to go in as well as a walking friendly neighborhood. We will follow your lead we do allow pets in bed and on furniture but will also crate if that is how your dog is comfortable.

She's also very communicative and responsive and is comfortable getting detailed instructions (both of my cats require special medicine / feeding instructions). This isn't my first time booking her for cat care and I would definitely book her again!

About: Greyhound lady with over a decade training and caring for dogs, including certifying two rescued racetrack greyhounds as therapy dogs through Bright and Beautiful Therapy Dogs. I've cared for five rescue dogs over the years — four greyhounds and a pug mix — handling everything from puppy adjustment to senior care, including medications, mobility needs, and end-of-life support. I use calm, positive-reinforcement handling and I'm skilled at reading a dog's stress or comfort level in real time, so walks stay relaxed and enjoyable. I'm also experienced with nervous or reactive dogs, having safely de-escalated an unleashed dog confrontation while working a mail route. My own dog takes 1.5 hours walk per day. We love Donaldson Park and the Highland Park Meadows, Johnson Park, Cheesequake and Morristown National Park for treats. Safety comes first on every walk. I read each dog's body language and comfort level before we even leave the door, and I adjust pace, route, or duration accordingly — a skill I built training two rescued greyhounds as certified therapy dogs. I stay alert to hazards like other loose animals, traffic, and extreme heat, and I know how to calmly de-escalate a tense situation if one arises. I treat every pet with the same patience and care I give my own rescue dogs, and I communicate clearly with owners before and after each walk so they always know how their pet is doing.

About: I provide more than just pet care—I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I have hands-on experience with both energetic puppies who need extra playtime and training, as well as senior pets who benefit from gentle handling, medication management, and a slower pace. I pay close attention to detail, communicate frequently with pet parents, and treat every dog as if they were my own. I work full time, but I work from home. I am available on most days and can be there for lunch routines. I am available during my lunch breaks for dog walks. I have one mini bernedoodle, who is the most friendly dog in the world. I can take care of dogs in my house, and am available for walks on my lunch.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in East Brunswick on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 11,262 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across East Brunswick. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a East Brunswick stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

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

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
