About: I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and plenty of love for you pets. I've cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and friends and family often trust me with their pets when they're away. I work Monday-Friday full time, but I have flexibility to work from home so my schedule is flexible. I'm happy to arrange my schedule as needed. I am easily adaptable to different environments so I will stick to ground rules set by the client. Strong communicator so will make sure everything goes smoothly.
“Candiance took amazing care of our elderly, attention-addicted cat while we were out of town, making sure she got her meds in and sending regular updates. She was also very gracious when our flight was delayed by several hours and we were late getting back.”
“Raphael did a wonderful job of watching my senior dog Fermi when I had to leave on a last minute work trip. He is great with dogs and Fermi was very happy and affectionate with him from the initial meeting. I really appreciated that he was very communicative with regular updates and lots of pictures, and he also left the apartment in immaculate condition. I would definitely ask Raphael to house sit again next time I am out of town and highly recommend him!”
“Lana is great! She texted us daily updates with pictures and videos, is super neat and organized and I could tell that my cat had a safe and happy time, would definitely recommend booking time with Lana!”
About: Well to begin with, I have experience walking numerous dogs since the day I was born. My love for animals in general is immense, contributing to the positive well being of animals is my passion and being able to focus that into a career is something I would have never imagined simply by making sure dogs go when they need too. It all began by simply watching over dogs, and then it lead into feeding them and eventually I took it upon myself to walk them. The first dogs I took care of was a chunky miniature pincher and a 70 lbs pit bull terrier, I am not prejudice towards animals specifically dogs since they are in my field and I have years of experience with different breeds of all sorts. As I am a new LLC on the rise I am in the midst of obtaining my ARC certifications for the health and general knowledge of animals, considering on a professional level I take this very accordingly and not enough dog walking companies supply the same for their walkers. Being trustworthy, reliable, respectable, caring and cautious are few of the many traits I carry and endorse for my business in which I believe are critical in the dog walking business.Every dog is unique, just like a person I would not want to disrespect their space and have them catch a bad vibe from me. I like to make sure I build comfort with the dogs I work with considering not many may be comfortable with letting someone unfamiliar walk them, my specialty. Walking dogs for me personally is never something I like to do in a haste, I enjoy in executing my job correctly and efficiently. I make sure every walk is special at times they come back home with a better attitude than the dogs left in. My main goal for the dogs are exercise, safety, fun and making sure they use the bathroom enough. I am a full time dog walker and lifetime animal lover so meeting accommodations for him or her is never a problem. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile hopefully I gain the opportunity and trust of being able to walk your furry child! Taking care of pups is my daily life. I have my own pups so it comes to me naturally, to want to take care of others! I do this full time! First of all, i make sure the pup is as comfortable as possible make them feel as if the parents are home. I walked them as many times as possible, keep all their needs up to date & give lots of love.
About: I love caring for and being around animals. I have more than 5 years of experience caring for pets. They’re precious and deserve tender care. I have cared for dogs and cats through check ins, walks, and house sitting. I have mostly watched dogs or cats 3-4 or older. I have recently watched a kitten who is turning 1 soon and had a lot of fun so I’d be open to doing it again. I am a full time student and have a job outside of this. Pet care would be more during my weekends and free time. Seeing animals when not in class or working is such a reward! My current availability is Friday after 3 PM, anytime Saturday and Sunday, and before 5 PM on Monday. I have pet sit overnight in homes for dogs and cats. I learn quickly and take notes to assure I care for any pet well. I like to ask clients about what they typically do with their pet in a day that their pet will expect outside of feeding and walking time. This might include playing with toys once they come home for 15 minutes or treats after walks. I love doing pet phone calls for clients who want to check in with their pet in real time! A quick FaceTime call can bring such ease to a pet parent and such joy to their pet.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, and had 4 dogs at a time for most of that. I’m experienced with senior dogs as well as puppy training. I train dogs with maximum positive reinforcement. My dog/assistant grew up with elderly yorkies and is eager to lend a paw. I’m a freelance motion designer, part time e-learning professor and I work from home on my own schedule. My dog goes on at least 5 walks per day, with poops after meals. Doggy breakfast is at 7:30, dinner at 5:30. For boarded dogs my building is very dog friendly with a fenced courtyard. There are 2 dog parks within a 5 minute walk and several
“Morgan was so great with my 5 year old beagle. She cared for him for a week in my apartment and did a marvelous job at keeping up with his high energy and slightly high-maitnance routine. She is professional, dependable, quick to respond, and will 10/10 be booking with her again.”
“Zuleyka was amazing! Spontaneous, very communicative and she handled the pups so so well! Thank you for taking such good care of them! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible dogsitter :)”
“Yasmin was so communicative and took wonderful care of Viggo and my apartment while I was away! She is very respectful, kind, and an obvious animal lover. I can tell he was completely comfortable and happy with her. It was such a relief to know that Viggo was well cared for while I was gone and allowed me to enjoy my trip and be present.”
“Genesis was amazing!! She kept me up to date with cute pictures and took such good care of my dog, giving her so much love and attention! I can’t recommend her enough!!”
“Denise is a blessing! I have no words to describe how grateful I am and lucky to have found Denise during the holidays. While no one was available on this app, Denise was flexible and kind to watch my senior dog while I was traveling to see my family for a week. I highly recommend Denise because she demonstrates everything that you hope for while you are away: she sends daily updates makes you feel that your dog is safe, she is trustworthy and honest, she is very flexible and communicates clearly. Thank you Denise and I will definitely rebook your services if your schedule permits. Sailor misses you!”
“Daniel did an excellent job taking care of my two senior pups on such short notice for 9 days during the Thanksgiving holiday after i had an unexpected last minute cancellation from my other pet sitter. Daniel came to the rescue and was diligent about the medications needed to be administered for my pup Ray who has 4 eye medications to do on a daily basis. Daniel sent pictures and videos and kept me updated along the way. He also left the home spotless on my arrival and with happy pups! Will definitely be reaching out to him for the next time. Thank you Daniel!”
“Natalia was great with our boys and took great care of our home. She looked after them for a week while we were in Greece and sent frequent updates — our kitties love her. She was very attentive to their needs and when we had a bit of an issue with our fridge too. Will definitely be seeking her services again in future.”
“May has helped me with Ziba (my cat) a few times now! Both drop in and house sitting and she has been great. Very communicative, very clean and respectful of my home, and Ziba really likes her! Would highly recommend her!”
About: I have had multiple dog breeds in my life. Boxers, Dachshund, English Bull Dog, Schnauzer, Labs, Rottweiler and a Jack Russell Terrier. I also take care of my moms German Shephard and my daughters Frenchie when needed. I am very comfortable around dogs and have trained many in my life, through positive reinforcement. I have also had multiple exotic pets including rabbits, a sugar glider, chickens, ducks, hamsters, guinea pigs and ferrets. I am comfortable with care outside of dogs and cats. I currently have 5 cats. One I have to administer asthma treatments too and 2 that get pills daily. I also have a scaredy cat and manage to keep my agressive personality female from beating up everyone else. I recently adopted a cat with 3 legs named Charlotte (her leg was broken when she was rescued) and navigated a hind leg amputation due to cancer for my girl Nelly. I am not afraid to provide your babies with the same love and care. I will wash all food or water bowls daily. I am not afraid to clean a litter box or take apart and wash a fountain. I love animals and would be honored to help with yours. I pet sit all over New York and New Jersey and am comfortable with commuting but I also have an suv. If I need to grab keys from a concierge, gate attendant or doorman please ensure the staff is prepared for my visit and knows I am coming. I would hate for wait time to affect the amount of time I am spending with your pets. I do book visits that are often back to back. I also don’t like to have to bother you (the pet parent) while you are traveling because I can’t access your home. I am also happy to schedule a meet & greet and get keys them. I can’t wait to meet your babies! I have flexibility with my work schedule and can add in visits during my normal week. Having an animal break in my day is something I always look forward too. At this time I am only caring for pets in clients homes. I am comfortable walking dogs, providing cat play time or dog playtime outdoors. I have an suv so in an emergency that is available.
“We can’t recommend Collin enough! This was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous, but he made the experience so easy and reassuring from the start! He came by a few days before to meet us and Bruce, which we really appreciated and was so kind and accommodating throughout. Collin also kept us updated with pictures while we were away, which was such a nice touch and gave us so much peace of mind!! We’re so grateful to have found our new sitter for Bruce!!”
About: I’ve always been a big animal lover and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets whether that’s going on walks, playing, or just giving them attention and care. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I’m available for walks every day as well as pet sitting during the week. I’m flexible and can adjust to your pet’s schedule and needs. I provide a quiet, calm, and safe environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I follow their usual routine closely, including feeding, playtime, and litter care, and always respect their space and personality.
“I could not be happier with Sara! This was my first time having a non-family member watch my dog while I was out of town and I was so nervous about it. I looked at a lot of options before deciding on Sara and am so glad I did - Sara stayed at my place and with Sasha for two weeks. She took such wonderful careful of Sasha and sent me multiple pictures and updates every day. Sasha clearly loved her and Sara treated her like her own, making me feel so at ease and letting me enjoy my vacation without worrying about her. On top of that, she left my apartment just as clean as I left it. I will definitely be using Sara in the future and am so relieved to have found someone I can trust! Could not recommend Sara more.”

I was in a pinch and Claire was avaible to help asap. I have two Large reactive dogs, so I am concerned when someone new is walking them. Claire is a pro, was able to handle the dogs the entire time and the dogs looked happy the entire time from the multiple updates she provided. Will def be using again!
Highly recommend Owen for any pet sitting needs! I had something come up very last minute and reached out the night before, and he was super responsive and communicative. He took the time to ask about my puppy beforehand, which made me feel really comfortable leaving her in his care. He checked in toward the end of the stay and sent lots of cute pictures, which I really appreciated. It was clear my puppy was well taken care of, and I would definitely book with him again!
Neeharika was a great cat sitter! Prior to the stay, she visited to meet my cat and get all the information for feeding, cleaning litter etc. She stayed at my place for a few days and sent me pictures and updates throughout the stay! She kept my place very tidy as well and made sure everything was perfect when I came back from my trip. I would definitely rebook and recommend her to others looking for a caring and thoughtful sitter!
Daniel is the absolute best. He always on time and trustworthy. He and my Gus became close buddies from the start. Gus is an almost 4 months old, so Daniel has been helping with the potty training and all of the other things needed to oversee a puppy in a new place. I highly recommend Daniel.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Guttenberg on Rover is $83.95 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 19,220 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Guttenberg. 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 Guttenberg 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 Guttenberg 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 Guttenberg 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Guttenberg. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
