About: I have been caring for my own pets for my entire life and have been pet sitting since I was fourteen. I formerly majored in Animal Science/Pre-vet at UConn before switching to an ecology degree, so helping animals is my life’s mission! I also have clinical experience working as a veterinary technician, so I am comfortable handling animals and making sure any medical needs are taken care of. Each and every pet deserves the same degree of love, care, and affection, and I would love to look after your furry friend! I am on break from college so my days are free to look after your pets! For house sits, I may on occasion have to go out for an errand or two, but I usually will not be away for more than an hour. I am happy to offer around the clock care if that is necessary. I currently cannot accept other pets into my own home, but I will be sure to treat your home with respect and follow any guidelines you may have, such as if pets are allowed on furniture, etc.

I have experience training service dogs in training as well as large animal experience. I definitely have a passion for working with dogs! I have the patience to work with dogs of all ages, including special needs. I have no problem working with animals of all shapes,sizes and temperaments.

I love going on adventures with my own dog and would love to meet new friends and include them.
About: I've been walking dogs since I was 15 years old, when I built my own client base doing walks and drop-in visits for families while they were away. That early experience taught me how to read a dog's personality fast and earn their trust from day one. Since then, I worked as a receptionist at a veterinary clinic, where I learned a lot about dogs' medical needs — from spotting early signs something's off to understanding how to safely support pets with health conditions. I'm excited to get back to hands-on care and bring both my years of walking experience and my vet clinic knowledge to your pup. I'm off consistently on Tuesdays and Saturdays, so I have full flexibility those days for walks, drop-ins, or sitting. On the days I do work, my schedule can vary, but I'm reliably free by 5 pm at the latest — often earlier. I get my work schedule 3 weeks in advance, so I can confirm exact availability early and plan around recurring bookings easily. I keep a calm, consistent routine so pets feel comfortable whether we're in my home or theirs — sticking to their regular feeding times, bathroom breaks, and playtime. I'm comfortable administering basic medications, having done so for my own dog in the past, and my vet clinic background means I know how to recognize signs of illness or distress and when something needs extra attention. I'm also good at reading individual personalities and take extra care with shy or nervous dogs, since my own dog was the same way — I know how to build trust at their pace. Your pet's safety and comfort always come first.
About: Hi, I’m Jill and I live in Hightstown, NJ.

I’m able to provide a safe environment with a large fenced backyard for your dog(s) to run and play. I work from home some days, but otherwise I am in my office 15 min away from my home. I love to go for walks, so your pet can get in a good amount of exercise. As I currently do not have any pets myself, I am excited to get the friendship and love that dogs always provide! Looking forward to meeting you and your pup(s)!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Englishtown is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 5,318 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Englishtown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Englishtown 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!
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
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.
