“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!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for neighbors, friends, and family for several years. I enjoy walking, feeding, and playing with pets of all sizes. I’m patient, reliable, and always make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and happy while their owners are away. I can also provide updates and pictures during each visit! I work two jobs, but I always make time to help care for pets because it makes me happy! Every week I’ll update my schedule so you can see when I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting. I’m responsible, kind, and I’ll treat your pets like my own — with love and care. ❤️ When I take care of pets, I always make sure they are safe, comfortable, and happy. I follow all the owner’s instructions carefully — like feeding, walking, or keeping doors closed. I give them lots of attention and never leave them alone for too long. Your pets will be in good hands and treated like family. 🐾

“We were so pleased with Kimberly. Our cat can be shy but Kimberly must be a cat whisperer. She came out for her every time and was even able to give her medication. We got updates and pictures each visit. Highly recommend and we will be booking with Kimberly again.”

About: I've been a dog owner and animal lover for over 20 years, and caring for pets has always been one of my greatest joys. Friends and family have trusted me for years to care for their dogs, whether that means daily walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship and lots of love. I'm an avid walker and typically walk about 3 miles every day, so I'd love nothing more than to have a furry friend join me! I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and routine, and I'm committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. I promise to treat your pet as if they were my own, with plenty of attention, patience, affection, and care. I'm reliable, communicative, and happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're apart from your best friend. Whether your pup loves long walks, leisurely strolls, playtime, or just some extra company during the day, I'd be honored to help! I am self employed with a flexible schedule and work mostly evenings and weekends. So, during the week, I have lots of time to meet with your furry family members. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine. I'll always follow your instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and any special needs your pet may have. As a longtime pet owner and animal lover, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home. I will treat both with the same care and respect I would my own, and I'll provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your furry family member is happy and well cared for.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all kinds. I’ve raised and fully trained two dogs of my own, so I’m comfortable with everything from basic training and daily routines to giving pets the attention and care they need. I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals! I’m a college student with a fairly flexible schedule. I have classes mainly on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, with open availability throughout the mornings and most of my evenings. My Tuesdays and Fridays are completely open, so I have plenty of flexibility for pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits. You can keep it simple and focus on being responsible in the client’s home, since you don’t need to claim anything you don’t offer. Here’s a natural version that meets the 25-word minimum: I prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and supervised while following their normal routines. I’m respectful of each client’s home and make sure pets receive plenty of care and attention.

About: As a lifelong dog lover and proud "dog dad" to my two energetic black Labradors, I understand the importance of finding a caring, trustworthy sitter for your furry family members. Dogs aren't just pets - they're loyal companions who deserve the same love and attention we give our human friends and relatives. With me as your dog's sitter or walker, you can have complete peace of mind knowing they'll receive the highest level of care and affection. I'll treat your pup like one of my own, providing plenty of exercise, playtime, and belly rubs! Whether it's a long hike, a trip to the dog park, or just snuggling on the couch, I'll make sure your dog's needs are met and their tail is wagging. As an experienced dog owner, I understand each dog's unique personality quirks and will tailor my care accordingly. Anxious dogs will get extra cuddles, high-energy dogs can run until their legs are tired, and every dog will be showered with praise and positive reinforcement. I'm also well-versed in dog body language to prevent issues before they start. Your dog's happiness and safety are my top priorities. I'll send you regular updates and photos so you can see your pup is in great hands (and probably having more fun than you!). I'm available for daily walks, overnight stays, and even last-minute bookings for those unexpected late nights at the office. Let me be your dog's second best friend! I can't wait to meet your furry pal and welcome them into my pack. Book today for tail-wagging good times. I work from mostly from home and flexible as per your needs. Friday and Weekends are always available. We can always discuss schedule for other days. I have a fenced yard and two black labs to keep your fur baby company. Also have crates and dog beds available if needed :-)

About: I’ve been a dog pal of every kind since I was in high school, for my family, friends, and neighbors. Whatever you and your pup may need, I am here! I work part-time from home, so I have a flexible schedule with lots of time to be present with your pups. I am free on the weekends for boarding, and I can be available any time during the week. Dogs are the embodiment of unconditional love. I do what I can to reflect that unconditional love back to them that they give so freely.

About: I provide structured, attentive dog care in a calm home environment where dogs feel safe, understood, and well-managed. Because I work from home, your dog will have consistent supervision throughout the day. I focus on reinforcing calm behavior and clear boundaries so dogs can settle quickly — especially when they’re in a new space away from their guardians. I grew up with a cocker spaniel my family rescued from an abusive home, which taught me early on the importance of patience and understanding a dog’s emotional state. As an adult, I cared for an active young pit bull for two years, which deepened my experience working with different temperaments and energy levels. I’m now a proud dog mom to a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Lucky, who is well-socialized, gentle, and respectful of other dogs’ space. He helps create a calm, balanced environment for visiting dogs. Our day typically starts between 7–8am with outdoor time in the backyard, followed by breakfast and a relaxed start to the day. Because I work from home, dogs are never left alone for long periods and can settle into a steady, predictable routine. I live in a quiet, low-traffic area in a ranch-style home with very few stairs — ideal for dogs of all ages, including seniors. My home includes a fully fenced half-acre backyard for safe outdoor time and fresh air.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for dogs and my wide range of experience. I’ve cared for everything from playful puppies to senior dogs with special needs, tiny breeds to dogs over 100 pounds. I’m confident handling all kinds of personalities and energy levels, and I always adjust my care to fit each dog’s needs. I’ve also had dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust. Pet sitting isn’t just a side job for me it’s something I truly enjoy, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my family. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday from 8am–4pm, but I’m still very committed to pet sitting! I’m available for early morning walks, evening visits, overnight stays, and weekends. I care for every pet like they’re part of my own family. Whether I’m in my home or the client’s, I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow their routine closely including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions and I always give them my full attention. I also keep the space clean and make sure they’re calm and happy while their owner is away.

About: I’m a calm, gentle caregiver who specializes in small dogs and understands how much comfort they find in familiar routines. As a dog mom myself, I know how important it is to have someone warm, patient, and trustworthy looking after your pup. I offer drop-ins and short walks that keep your dog’s day running smoothly-whether they need a potty break, a little company, or a quiet walk with a steady, reassuring presence. I also offer dog boarding in my home. I’m detail-oriented, safety-focused, and always communicate clearly so you know exactly how your dog is doing. Your puppy will be cared for with kindness, consistency, and lots of love. My daily routine is built around caring for my own small dog, so adding care for other small dogs fits in smoothly and naturally. I have a flexible schedule for my bookkeeping business as well. I will follow any instructions you provide me and will make sure your dogs are safe and cared for with lots of love and attention.

Christina was very friendly and had great communication with me throughout the week. Although my kitty is a VERY shy boy, she tried her best to give him attention and encourage him with toys and treats. She even stayed longer on some days! Very happy with my experience and I would rebook Christina again in the future!! :)

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Freehold

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Freehold on Rover is $26.64 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 5,689 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Freehold. 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 Freehold 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 Freehold. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
