“Maria was wonderful housesitting our 9 week old Berner puppy. She was so kind and warm and made us and our pup Moose so comfortable. She’s very experienced with puppies and puppy training and does so well. This was our first time working with her but definitely won’t be our last, she was absolutely wonderful!!”
About: I have been taking care of friends and neighbors since I've been a child, and as an adult professionally for the past fifteen years. I have taken care of a huge verity of dog sizes and breeds from puppy to senior ages Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m able to provide consistent attention to pets through regular walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and companionship. I understand the importance of following each pet’s individual schedule and keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I also make sure to allow time for exercise, bathroom breaks, and giving pets the attention and care they need. I’m flexible and dependable, and I can work pet care into my schedule on a daily or weekly basis as needec I provide loving, reliable, and attentive care for pets in either my home or a client’s home, depending on the service needed. I follow the pet’s regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, exercise, and companionship. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their home and follow all instructions regarding the pet’s routine, medications, favorite activities, and any special needs. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision while keeping their environment clean and safe. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, secure, and cared for while giving their owner peace of mind
About: I grew up caring for my family's black labs my entire life. I currently own two beautiful baby Shih Tzus, Tony & Guiness with my beautiful fiancé. They add so much joy to our lives and are a big part of our growing family. I invest a lot of time and effort into training them daily, to build trust and give them the best lives possible. Taking care of the animals in my life is a passion of mine, and I treat every pet like it's my own. Pet care is my full time job and I thoroughly enjoy it. After years of training athletes, I left my career and opted for a career that is rewarding in different ways. I'm available any time Monday through Friday and most weekends. My apartment complex has many areas to walk outside, with sidewalks and open grass areas where I walk my boys. There is also a spacious indoor dog park in the basement of my complex where I take them to play, especially on rainy days. We do training both indoors and on walks outside, individually and as a family. I also expose my dogs to as many experiences as possible, bringing them to community events, outdoor dining, and social gatherings. Our family does not believe in leaving pets home alone all day every day, and want to give them as much stimulation and social interaction as possible.
About: Through pet and house sitting, I’ve discovered how much I love caring for animals in their own homes—learning their personalities, keeping their familiar routines, and helping them feel comfortable while their people are away. I have 10 reviews on TrustedHousesitters and have been welcomed back by several families for multiple stays, with more repeat sits already booked for next year. My stays have ranged from short visits to several months. Owners consistently mention my attentive care, regular updates and photos, and the peace of mind they feel knowing their pets and home are in good hands. I’ve cared for puppies, energetic dogs, senior dogs, cats, and households with multiple pets. I follow feeding and medication instructions closely and adapt to each animal’s needs, whether that means walks and playtime or a gentler pace and quiet companionship. I’m also a proud dog grandma to my daughter’s French bulldog, Capri! I work remotely as a parent coach, which gives me flexibility to plan around your pet’s routine. Whether I’m stopping in or staying overnight, I bring patience, affection, and attention to the little things that matter to your pet—and to you. I work remotely as a parent coach, so I have flexibility to fit pet care into my day. I plan around the routines we agree on, including meals, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and company. During overnight sits, I enjoy settling in with your pets and keeping their days familiar. Quiet time with a cat nearby or a dog curled up beside me is one of my favorite parts of working from home! For drop-in visits, we’ll arrange times that fit your pet’s needs. I do have scheduled client sessions and occasional commitments, so we’ll talk through how long your pets are comfortable being alone and make sure my availability is a good fit before booking. I care for pets in your home, where they have their familiar surroundings, favorite spots, and everyday routines. Before a booking, I like to learn about their personalities, feeding schedules, medication needs, and any habits or concerns—especially things like door-dashing, hiding places, or worries around other animals. I follow your care instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and use a leash on walks unless we’re in your securely enclosed yard. We’ll go over your vet’s information and emergency contacts so I know who to reach if something comes up. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, and I’ll let you know if I notice a change in your pet’s behavior, appetite, or comfort. I respect your home and privacy, keep pet areas and litter boxes clean, and tidy up after myself. Several families have welcomed me back for repeat stays. I take that trust seriously and want you to feel comfortable asking questions or sharing the little details that help me care for your pets the way you would.
“Rosanna was fantastic! She watched Sadie for a week in my home and I couldn't have felt better knowing that she was there taking care of her. Sadie took to her instantly and clearly knew that she would be in good hands! Throughout the week Rosanna was in regular communication giving updates and pictures. When Sadie wasn't eating as much and having some tummy troubles Rosanna was on top of it trying some home remedies first and then taking her to the vet to make sure that Sadie was alright. She treated Sadie like she was her own. Rosanna is absolutely wonderful and I couldn't recommend her enough! Your dog will be in great hands with Rosanna!”

I have been working with animals professionally for 11 years. I've done dog walking and pet sitting for 6 years and have been working at a pet grooming salon and doggy daycare for another 7 years. I am a certified groomer and have experience working will all different kinds of animals and various ages. I have expierence in giving medication (including insulin) to cats and dogs. I am also certified in pet CPR and First Aid as well. I truly enjoy working with animals on a daily basis. I love ALL animals and would love to be welcomed in to your family to watch your fur babies! I am currently working full time as a pet groomer so my availability is after work from 4:30 pm to 8:00 pm. I am also available all day on Saturdays and Sundays. In my home I have a fenced in backyard and my dog is very friendly with other dogs. I typically dont crate my dog but if you feel more comfortable I can crate your dog as well.
About: Hi! I’m someone who has truly been around animals my entire life. I grew up caring for horses, dogs, cats, and even chickens, so handling different personalities, energy levels, and needs comes very naturally to me. I have a degree in animal science along with hands-on experience as a vet tech, which means I’m comfortable recognizing health concerns, behavioral quirks, administering basic care, and making sure your pet stays safe and happy. My schedule is very flexible, so I’m able to accommodate a wide range of needs—from midday drop-ins to extended stays. I also have reliable transportation, so getting to you on time is never an issue. I’m very experienced with dog behavior and training, especially using positive reinforcement methods. Whether your dog is high-energy, shy, or needs a little structure, I adjust my approach to what works best for them. At my home, dogs have access to a large fenced yard for safe outdoor time, along with plenty of walks, play, and attention. I also have a very friendly, well-socialized dog who loves having playmates! Macky’s Place is excited to now offer luxurious state of the art in-home kenneling options for our boarding guests! Your pup can choose between staying in home or having their own comfortable, dedicated in-home kennel space for rest and downtime. 🐶💤 We designed these kennels based off dog sitting experience. Over time, we learned how difficult it is for newcomers to adjust to a new house, constant dogs around, new people, smells, sounds, etc. Our kennels offer a new level of security and comfort for new dogs that is unmatched. It becomes their zen safe space. Our kennels include ac/heat, fans, windows, TV, music, and relaxing scents. You’re more than welcome to pack as many goods from home to personalize their kennel as well! Benefits of In-Home Kenneling * 🐶 Easier settling in — a designated space can feel less overwhelming than a whole new house. * 🧼 Completely disinfected daily — kennels are thoroughly cleaned between guests. * 🔒 Extra secure — even if a dog gets out of their kennel, they remain safely contained in our escape proof fence and room. * 💤 Private cozy space — pups can curl up in their own quiet corner, it truly becomes their safe space. * 🐕 Still social — dogs can see and enjoy the company of other pups. Dogs are given play and potty breaks majority of the day. * ❤️ Choice & comfort — social time when they want it, quiet time when they need it. A cozy, safe, and personalized boarding experience — right here at home! ❤️ Above all, I treat every pet like they’re my own—safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. My schedule is super flexible! Week days and weekends. I can do daily or weekly scheduled walks for convenience as well. Early morning or late night visits are ok as well. I always walk clients dogs with full safety and trust in mind. I treat every animal as if it’s my own and always make sure they are happy and healthy when I leave. I have no problem cleaning up accidents in the house as well.
“Elizabeth is great! We have two needy pets, including an old, anxious dog with mobility issues and other special needs. Elizabeth was perfect with administering medications and and keeping up with regular physical therapy exercises. We came home to a clean house and two well cared for (though possibly disappointed Elizabeth was gone) pets. I would definitely recommend Elizabeth if you need someone to watch pets in your home.”
“Julissa took great care of Buddy! She gave him his meds on time, played fetch, and provided updates. Even stayed later to ensure his safety. We’re definitely going to book her the next time we need a dog sitter!”
About: I have been raised around dogs my entire life and have over 11 years of hands-on dog care experience. To me, dogs aren’t just animals but can be family, loyal friends…the closest companions in our lives. I treat every guest pup with the exact same love, respect, and careful attention I give my own I work a flexible 9-5 job where there can be a day or two for me to work remotely. I’m open to boarding those days and the weekends too! I have two dogs in my loft currently. One senior 14-year old morkie and a 3-year old English pointer. Both are trained and don’t bother others. If crates are needed, I have one.
About: I have worked with young puppies and senior dogs. I have provided injections and oral medications. I make sure to learn about each dogs preference because like humans they are all different! I currently work a full time job. I am available in the evening hours from 6pm-10pm. On the weekends I am more flexible with my scheduling. I am available to house sit Saturdays and Sundays, just shoot me a message to schedule in advance! I can do drop in visits almost every day, it’s a little hard to make your schedule with rover - if anything please feel free to send me a message to discuss needs and scheduling :) I would hope to create a comfortable walking environment for your little one to enjoy. I stick to your normal walking routes to ease your pets into good walking sessions. At drop in visits I monitor your pet and take time to play with them as well.
About: I used to volunteer at an animal shelter when I was younger. I also dog sit my friends dogs/puppies whenever they need someone. I love to take care of dogs all sizes and breeds! Each person has their own way of caring for their pet and my goal is to take the clients instructions and implement them accordingly in order to continue to give their pets a routine that isn’t broken. I think it’s also very important to create a bond with the pets as well so that way they feel safe when someone they don’t know is entering their home.
“Diana took great care of our two labs, Grace and Beau, while we were away for an overnight trip. She was attentive to their routine and kept us well-informed through messages and pictures. We are extremely satisfied with Diana’s work and won’t hesitate to call on her again for future dog care. Highly recommend her for your consideration.”
About: Hi, I'm Kelly!! 🐾 I'm a teacher in Somerset and a HUGE animal lover. I know how hard it is to leave your babies behind, so I make sure they feel safe, loved, and totally spoiled while you're away. I grew up around dogs my whole life. I have 2 dogs,who I love and adore and help my daughter take care of her 3 cats. For Dogs: Lots of walks, playtime, cuddles, and routine — from energetic pups to sweet seniors, I adjust to their needs. Daily photo & video updates so you don't miss a thing! For Cats: Quiet, cozy care on THEIR terms. No forcing cuddles — just fresh litter, fresh water, playtime (if they want it), and lots of love in their own comfy space. I'm reliable, patient, & respectful and I treat every pet like family. Let's schedule a meet-and-greet — I'd love to meet your fur baby! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I work as a teacher in North Brunswick, so I do drop-ins and walks before school (6-8am), after school (3:30-7pm), and all day on weekends. I live nearby and can do flexible midday visits if needed. I'm super reliable and always send photo updates! I treat your home with total respect — I stick exactly to your pet's routine for feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, and medications. I make sure doors and gates are always secured, water bowls are always full, and your pet gets one-on-one love and attention. I tidy up after myself, bring in mail/packages, and keep you updated with photos so you can relax knowing your baby and home are safe.
“Marissa was wonderful. I was lucky enough to get her on very short notice to do in-house overnight visits with my cat. Marissa was professional, communicative, and generally gave me great peace of mind while I was away I will definitely be rebooking the next time I’m going out of town!”
About: I am different from other sitters because I care about both pet and caregiver. I know what's it's like to leave a loved one to a stranger so I deeply care about open communication and lots of photos for updates! Due to other commitments from 3-8, I am available M-F at 8 am to 3 pm and then later on from 8 pm to 10 pm. On weekends my schedule is completely open! I make sure the pet is always at eye level to me. Double check everything is secure and where they're supposed to be. I will make sure that nothing dangerous is nearby.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Flagtown
We had such a great experience! Rosie watched our dog for four days and was wonderful with her. She was very responsible and communicated with us throughout the day, sending photos and videos that gave us peace of mind. She made sure our dog was fed, walked, played with, and even gave her medication as needed. It was clear that she genuinely cared about her and made sure she was comfortable and well taken care of. We felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in good hands and would absolutely recommend her and book her again!
Justin was absolutely the best. He sent so many pictures told me what they were doing (my pup beau) even moved my flowers out of the sun as it was so hot he said they were dying stripped the bed and washed the sheets before he left. House was neat and most of all Beau looked great. Thank you Justin

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Flagtown is $72 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $53 and $89 per night. 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 November 2026, there are 2,876 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Flagtown. 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 Flagtown 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 Flagtown 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 Flagtown 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 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Flagtown. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
