About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lovers with a deep passion of caring for pets of all kinds. Growing up surrounded by cats, dogs, and plenty of other furry (and not-so-furry) friends taught me how much love and care they deserve. My top priority is always making sure your pets are happy, healthy, and feeling loved. From feeding routines and walks to cuddle time (or just calm company for the more independent types), I make sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for according to their unique personality. I love keeping pets engaged with fun, stimulating activities. For cats, that might mean interactive toys, puzzle feeders, or laser play. For dogs, it’s usually games of fetch, tug-of-war, or a good old-fashioned frisbee toss. Even reptiles get the same thoughtful attention (maybe less cuddling, but plenty of care and respect!). Every pet deserves the best care possible, and that’s what I promise to provide. Whether you’re going away for a day or a week, I will treat your furry family member as if they were our own. I’d love to meet your pets and help you feel at ease while you’re away!

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats for years and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I understand the importance of patience, safety, and consistency when caring for pets. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I’m responsible, dependable, and will treat every pet like they’re my own. I work full-time, but I’m available for cat visits before or after work and on most weekends. I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible and will always communicate clearly about my availability. I understand how important consistency is for cats and will make sure they receive reliable care and attention. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your care instructions, including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box cleaning, walk, medication (if needed), and playtime. I always respect your home, keep everything clean and secure, and provide updates with photos so you can feel confident that your cat is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs since i was 8. I currently have 2 dogs in my household. I just got my puppy this year. She’s a bit challenging and stubborn so i have a lot of patience. I go on walks almost everyday with her almost for an hour at the park. I do work part-time. I work very early on Wednesday and Friday but always have time to the job. I can assure your pet will be healthy and happy. I can play with your pet and always make sure they are fed by their feeding schedule. When they need to go outside it’s no problem.

About: I have experience walking and dog sitting for friends and family. If you need someone reliable, experienced, loving and careful, I am the person you want! I am currently working part time and am available during the week and most weekends. Each pet has individual needs and I am prepared to meet those needs! I love keeping dogs happy, active, and comfortable. Whether it’s taking them for walks, visiting the dog park (when appropriate), or giving them plenty of affection and attention, I make sure they feel cared for while you’re away. I stay on top of the little details too, including providing fresh water, replacing potty pads as needed, cleaning up after pets, and following your dog’s routine and care instructions.

About: ⚠If you're new to Rover use my Promo code "XAVIEM67281" to get a 💲20 discount off the first service you use with me. ⚠ I have been taking care of pets for as long as I can remember. Not a day goes by that I'm not taking care of the family pets or someone else's. I have walked, checked on, and baby sat dogs of all different shapes and sizes. I use to take care of my neighbors dogs, when she wasn't available. Took dogs to the vet when they had no one else to do it. And I have been a dog walker for about 5 years now. I have walked small dogs such as miniature poodles to bigger dogs such as pitbulls. Your furry friend will be in good hands. I'm currently working part time on Mondays through Fridays, but I have a flexible schedule. I'll feed and take the dog out in the mornings, and after work. During the weekend they'll have my fully undevivded attention through out the whole day I have a fenced in yard with several friendly dogs who will happily play with visitors. I also have some cats but they keep to themselves, lounging around in a separate room from the dogs. Your pets will mostly be under my watchful eye, for I will be home, most of the day watching them.

Michael has been absolutely wonderful with our doggo! He has such a care and attention to her needs, and even helped out when she got into trouble and got into our pantry lol. We have a reactive dog, and he's been great with taking her for walks and managing her energy and needs safely. We can tell that she is very comfortable with him, and would recommend Micheal to anyone with a furry friend! :)

Abigail was patient with my stubborn and mischievous collie, who is 60 lbs and not the easiest to manage. My collie was relaxed and content after her visits. I also left a long list of instructions, which were followed to the letter. That shows good and trustworthy work. Thank you, Abigail!

About: I’ve had my own dog for 3 years and care for him daily, including morning and evening walks, feeding, playtime, and giving him lots of attention. I also have experience with young puppies and understand the patience and care they need. I truly love animals and will care for your pet like they are my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I usually start work later in the day, which gives me plenty of time beforehand to dedicate to pet care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether it’s going on walks, playing, or simply keeping them company. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, and I’m happy to make time for it in my daily routine. I will always care for your pet like they are my own and follow their routine to make them feel safe and comfortable. I have my own dog and spend a lot of time with him every day. We go on daily walks, play a lot, and I make sure he gets plenty of attention and care

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of multiple sizes for friends and family for the past 15 years, and have a nice dog of my own for almost as long. I’m a high school teacher who is not working this summer. I’m looking to meet some awesome dogs in between taking my kids to camp, and snuggling with my own doggy. I will be diligent in following whatever rules you lay out for your pet. I know how precious your pet is, and will care for it like my own. Dogs will only go outside while on a leash, and I will provide pictures as well as a detailed report of our activities.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 20 years and have experience with dogs, cats, hamsters, frogs, anoles/geckos and fish. I grew up with pets and got my first dog at 18, which really shaped my love and understanding of animal care. Since then, I have raised multiple cats (including rescues and bonded pairs) and a Black Lab, all in a busy, loving, kid-friendly and family oriented home. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering medications, and caring for pets at all life stages—from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra attention. My pets have always been part of the family, so I know how important it is to provide not just basic care, but comfort, patience, and a safe environment. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care, and I’m happy to tailor my services to fit each pet’s unique needs and routine. I work full-time as an educator, so I’m available before and after school hours during the week, as well as on weekends. My schedule is very consistent, and I’m home in the afternoons, evenings, and nights for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care. During the summer, I have much more flexibility and availability throughout the day, which allows me to provide even more hands-on attention and care. Your pet’s safety and comfort means everything to me. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most relaxed and secure, and I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I offer drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care, and I always take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, habits, and little quirks so they feel comfortable with me. I’m very attentive, patient, and experienced with feeding routines, administering medication, and caring for both young and senior pets. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so I treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re part of my own family—I’ll always keep you updated so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

Lisa Marie was excellent with our two high-energy dogs! She was prompt and a great communicator. She sent lots of pictures of our pups so we could see they were having a great time and gave thorough reports on how the drop-in visits went. Some of the pics she sent were actually frame-worthy!! Thank you for taking such great care of Linkin and Hudson!

About: I love dogs and have always grown up with them. My first dog was a St. Bernard/Lab mix and I currently have two spoiled Havanese pups that are brothers. I am reliable, believe in clear communication and provide frequent updates to ensure that owners are comfortable knowing their pets are safe and happy while they’re away! I’m in school part-time and work per diem so I’m pretty flexible with my time. Let me know what works for you and your pet(s) and I’m sure we can figure something out! I treat every dog that I look after as if they were my own. I’ll make sure to build trust and give them all the extra love, cuddles, and attention while you’re away!

Sara is just the best. This was our first time using rover with our puppy and we were completely at ease knowing Sara was providing the best care for our pup. She gave updates and sent pictures, which we loved. We also do a lot of obedience training with our pup and Sara has experience with prong collars which was a huge plus for us!

This was the first time I ever used Rover so I was a little nervous. Adriane set me at ease by setting up an initial time to meet in person before moving forward. And of course, I felt very comfortable upon our meet. From there, Adriane was so fantastic with Millie. She sent me updates and many photos daily. She even made homemade treats for Millie (after checking with me of course) and I just felt Millie was really being loved up while we were away. I will absolutely ask Adriane for her availability in the future. I know Millie will miss her now that we are home from our 3 week vacation. I wish she could still come visit her everyday!

We used Lenny to take care of DJ over the Fourth of July, and we truly could not have asked for better care. During a thunderstorm, the power went out, and Lenny went above and beyond by bringing DJ a fan and a lantern so he wouldn’t be hot or left in the dark. Lenny was also looking out for us in every way possible. Our Jeep was parked under a tree that looked like it might fall during the storm, and she immediately called us to ask if we wanted her to move it to a safer spot. Knowing that someone cared for both DJ and our home as if they were her own gave us complete peace of mind. Lenny is reliable, thoughtful, and incredibly compassionate. DJ loves her, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will go the extra mile for their pets.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Helmetta on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 6,130 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Helmetta. 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 Helmetta 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 Helmetta 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 Helmetta 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 Helmetta. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.
