Mary was awesome. She accommodated a pretty short notice request for our first time for a drop-in. And while our dogs can be anxious around new people, she had no concerns and took them out and played with them and they had a blast. We will definitely be using her services again.

About: I am a college student with two dogs of my own at home. I am the biggest animal lover and treat all pets as if they were my own! I do not remember a time in my life where I haven't been involved in some way with animals. Whether that has been working on a farm, volunteering at a small animal clinic, showing my pet rabbit, or competing in horse competitions, all pets of many different shapes and sizes have been at the forefront of my life! I am highly active and will happily take your dog on walks, runs, hikes, and beach days if you'd like me too. I am also totally down to play inside and keep your pup company at your home! I am accustomed to giving dogs medication as I have a senior dog myself. I will be sure to send lots of pictures and videos while your away because I know how hard it is to leave our best friends! I can be highly flexible with my schedule. I work part time and therefore can typically make most situations work, just reach out and let me know what works best for you! They will be treated like a king/queen! I am used to an excited dog on a leash. I can be patient and accommodating for slower pups as well. I will follow directions exactly and have no issue with picky and particular dogs.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets for several years, helping friends, family, and neighbors with feeding, walking, and playtime. I’m attentive, patient, and comfortable with pets of all sizes and ages. I also have experience with administering oral medications and care for senior pets. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I’m currently a college student with a very flexible schedule, which allows me to devote plenty of time and attention to your pets. I’m available for drop-in visits and walks throughout the day on both weekdays and weekends. I can adjust my availability to meet your pet’s routine and needs, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. For your pet’s comfort and safety, I provide care exclusively in your home so they can remain in a familiar environment. I do not offer overnight boarding or bring pets into my own home. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, medication (if needed), and exercise routines. I prioritize keeping your pets safe and their tails wagging while you’re away!

About: Hi! My name is Audrey. I have experience caring for pets through personal and informal care, including feeding, walking, and providing companionship for dogs and cats. I’m very comfortable with drop-in visits and understand how important it is to maintain a pet’s routine while their owner is away. I can administer medication if necessary. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always follow care instructions closely. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for, and I provide clear updates and photos after each visit. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious pets and aim to create a calm, reassuring presence. I’m dependable, communicative, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Caring for pets fits easily into my weekly routine, and I genuinely enjoy making time for drop-in visits and walks. I keep a flexible schedule so I can be available when pets need care, and I always do my best to be consistent, punctual, and attentive. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel safest and most comfortable. I focus on keeping their routine consistent and stress-free during drop-in visits. I carefully follow all instructions for feeding, walks, litter box care, and medications if needed. I always pay attention to safety, making sure doors are closed and pets are secure before leaving. I also spend time giving pets affection and calm companionship so they feel cared for while their owner is away. I send updates and photos after each visit for peace of mind 💛

About: Hi! I’ve been dog sitting for about 7 years and have experience with pups as young as 4 months all the way up to senior dogs. I honestly love them all, but puppies are my favorite because of their energy, and I also love a good cuddle with an older dog. I’m comfortable with all breeds and personalities, and I always try to match whatever routine your dog is used to so they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. Whether that’s walks, trips to the dog park, or just hanging out at home, I’m happy to do it all. I can also administer medication if needed, and I know the cheese trick very well so giving pills is usually quick and stress-free. I recently moved to the area and am currently rebuilding my client base, so I’m very flexible and can often accommodate last-minute bookings. I’m a local college student who is home for the summer, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I plan my days around the pets I’m taking care of. On days I have work, I’m still able to stop by before and after, and on my off days I have even more availability for walks, visits, or overnight care. I always make sure to follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions you provide. I 100% respect the environment I’m in and the boundaries I’m given. I treat your home like it’s my own and always leave it exactly how I found it, with the exception of a toy or two left out from playtime! My goal is to keep your pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: -10 years experience fostering dogs -Huge fenced in backyard -Red Cross pet first aid certified -College educated -Beautiful lake views in my neighborhood for walks during boarding -leave written updates reporting pets activities, bathroom use and any other information pertaining to your interests during pet sitting or walking I am a freelance artist, and do e-commerce at my own pace so my schedule is pliable. I am home all day, with the exception of 12pm and 4:30 M-f when I do half hour dog walks for a client in my neighborhood. I grew up in a big family where our dog was always a part of the family and almost like one of the kids. As an adult I have always had dogs as a part of the family and for many years even fostered dogs who were on their journeys to finding a forever home. I have experience with dogs of different temperaments and my dog Milani has been very well socialized with different dogs so she’s very dog friendly and loves to play/snuggle with all of our guests. I work remotely which allows me to be home based during the day outside of a few drop ins for 2 families in our neighborhood whose dogs I walk and feed during the day. I have a large fenced in yard for the dogs to run and play and live in a beautiful neighborhood for walks with multiple water views perfect for getting out and exploring. I have two daughters 11 and 15 and they love dogs just as much if not more than me. Often times I find one of our guests snuggled up in bed with one of them. I have hates in the house as well for the rare occasion that owners do not want their dogs socialized with another dog, which still allows room for them to move around and socialize with myself and the girls.

Anahi is a wonderful person and sitter! She is friendly, kind, and a great communicator. I was very nervous as it was my first time using the site to find a sitter, but I made the right choice booking Anahi. I was not expecting my shy cat to interact with her right away, but from the first visit, she was sharing pictures of them playing together, and him seeking her out for affection as she walked in on the second visit. I do believe animals are a great judge of character and I will be booking her for my next trip. Highly recommend.

About: Hi! My name is Rachel and I am the biggest dog lover. I have a yorkie, Layla who I love very much. I would love to meet new dogs and care for them! I am very soft and gentle when it comes to dogs because I want them to feel comfortable. I am also good at evaluating dogs’ body language so I can accommodate to their needs. My goal is to make your dog as happy as it can be, keeping them well fed, hydrated, and active through walks. Having a dog myself made me fall even more in love with dogs and I can’t wait to meet more dogs and care for them! :) I am currently working part time in the mornings and early afternoons which makes me available to care for your pet in the middle of the afternoon and evenings! I take care of the pets by listening to what the owner wants for their pet. I make sure the pets are comfortable where they are and I am gentle. I understand some dogs are shy and I come into every home aware of that and I try to let the dogs slowly warm up to me. I make them feel as safe and cared for as possible. Feeding and walking is as consistent as the owner wants it :)

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for cats and dogs. I have been around both my entire life, which has helped me become comfortable with different personalities, routines, and care needs. I understand that every pet is unique and deserves patience, attention, and reliable care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm and relaxed environment, I am committed to providing attentive care, companionship, and plenty of affection while you’re away. I currently have full availability from Friday through Sunday, allowing me to dedicate quality time to your pets and ensure they receive the care and attention they deserve. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work Monday through Thursday as an Operations and Program Assistant, which allows me to dedicate my full attention to pet care on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays with open availability. I am also available for morning, evening, and overnight care depending on your pet's needs. Having grown up around cats, dogs, reptiles, and horses, caring for animals has always been a part of my daily life. I enjoy spending time with animals and am committed to providing reliable, attentive care while keeping pets comfortable and maintaining their normal routines. When caring for pets, I focus on maintaining their normal routine and making them feel comfortable and safe. Having cared for my own three cats, I understand the importance of providing fresh food and water, a clean environment, playtime, and plenty of attention. In a client's home, I will follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, litter box or waste cleanup, and any special routines your pet is used to. I also enjoy spending quality time with pets through play, companionship, and enrichment activities to help them feel relaxed while their owners are away. My goal is to treat every pet with the same care, patience, and attention that I would give my own.

About: I've had pets all my life and been incredibly responsible about them since I was small. Dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles 🐶🐈‍⬛️🦎 are all in my pet sitting repetoire from personal experience growing up! Currently I have two dogs, one small shih-tzu 🤍terrier and one large German Shepherd 🐕 that get along great. As you can see in-home boarding at my house will be unavailable because of this. I am open to very quick notice sits as long as they do not conflict with my primary job, which is as a restaurant server in a pizza place! 🍕 I will always feed on time 🥣, take pets out to go safely and on a leash or in a fenced area, administer medicine 💊 properly, as instructed and when needed, and accomodate for any other methods of care your pet is used to in order to make them feel comfortable and build a bond! I'm taking care of them, after all -- they deserve someone they'll get to know! If you need someone reliable, intelligent and passionate about animals then look no further. You've found your pet sitter for life! I'm working part-time as a restaurant server as I mentioned before. My schedule is posted monthly so I will have plenty of time in advance to know whether or not your pet can receive my care! And I have not much else going on otherwise in terms of availability. In your home I would be respectful of all assets and living spaces, as well as supervise the pets to make sure they don't cause trouble. If they do I have open communication at all times and would of course clean up after them as well! I feed and take them out or clean up after them regularly, and of course every animal is different so we will discuss what times every animal is used to and fit them in to the boarding schedule! For walks, feeds, or medication through drop-ins we would discuss a schedule as well, be it weekly, daily, or whatever you need.

About: While I’m newer to professional pet sitting, I’ve spent years caring for my own pets and helping with family animals, including feeding, walking, playtime, and daily care. Love nothing more!

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always try to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure pets have fresh water, food, exercise, attention, and a safe environment at all times. During walks and visits, I pay close attention to pets’ behavior, energy levels, and surroundings to keep them safe and comfortable. I’m respectful of each owner’s instructions and home, and I provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away.

Kacy was the best & well worth the $100 tip! She provided last minute services to pick up my Remi (whom she had never met) from the vet and followed detail instructions to take her to the suites. This was a very challenging decision as I am not from or live in NJ and didnt know anyone. This dog lover is the best! I will use her services again hands down! Me & Remi thank you so much Kacy!

I offer more than just a love for animals. I am experienced, professional, and take the responsibility of caring for your pets seriously.

I offer walks Monday through Friday from 10am to 2pm. All pet care is provided at your home where many pets feel most comfortable! I honor your pet’s schedule, individual needs, and training protocols. Consecutive overnight stays include an afternoon walk, when applicable.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Farmingdale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Farmingdale on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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

As of June 2026, there are 5,453 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Farmingdale. 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 Farmingdale 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.

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 Farmingdale 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

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.

To find sitters in Farmingdale with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.

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.
