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 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 :-)

“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’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.

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. 🐾

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: I have been a pet owner for over 15 years and have been surrounded by animals throughout my life. I currently have a five-year-old rescue dog at my family home, and my previous dog experienced behavioral challenges that taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding—especially when caring for animals that need extra time and support. I have also volunteered at animal shelters both in my hometown and in Hawaii. In these roles, I cared for and spent time with dogs who had been abandoned, surrendered, abused, or found roaming the streets. These experiences strengthened my ability to approach every animal with empathy and adapt to their individual needs. I am responsible, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animal care. I would be thrilled to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for your pet while you are away. I am around all day on Saturdays and Sundays. I am available after 5 Monday-Friday. I work full time Monday-Friday so I do not have flexibility on those days. I will carefully follow each pet’s normal routine and take the time to earn their trust. I will keep their environment clean and secure, provide fresh food and water, and closely monitor their behavior, comfort, and safety. I am also comfortable following specific care instructions for pets with behavioral or medical needs.

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 of Pet Sitting in Freehold is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $37 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 5,633 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Freehold. 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.

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 .

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 , 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:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% 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 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
