Emily is one of the best of the best! Cashew gets so excited when she rings the doorbell and comes back exhausted after walks! He enjoys the attention she gives him on her drop in visits as well! She is very friendly, knowledgeable, and trustworthy and I will definitely continue to request Emily, and I hope you do too! You won’t be disappointed.

About: Hi! My name is Lindsey! I have been pet sitting for over five years now along with working other jobs. I am now dedicating more of my time to pet sitting as I love animals and showing them care and love is far more fulfilling to me than anything else. I am excited to have the time to spend with and care for your pets. In the past I have cared for all different types of animals and dog breeds. From Great Danes to Pomeranians to cats and guinea pig, I have cared for them all. I am experience with caring for senior dogs, puppies and dogs with medical issues who need medications and a bit of extra attention. I also have expertise caring for multiple pets at once. I would be so grateful to care for your home and loved ones while you are away! I am currently making a career shift and have a completely open schedule meaning I can be there when ever you and your pet need me. I have no pets of my own so I am able to stay in the home or makes frequent trips to the home, depending on what your would like or need me to do. While staying in the home I can also do any house hold chores that need to or you would like me to get done in your absence.

Ashley is absolutely incredible! This is our second time using her and she’s been so good! We had an unexpected emergency happen with one of our kittens right before we left and she handled it with such ease and her caring nature with our kitties allowed us to feel comfortable enough to go away knowing the issues would be handled and our cats were in great hands! Thanks Ashley ❤️

Tasha takes our two dogs Cody and Tobey for walks every week. Cody is a difficult one as he is a large yellow lab who is older and grumpy and can be aggressive. Tasha is patient yet persistent when it comes to caring for him. Her pictures and texts about the results of the walk always make my day.

katrina always does such a great job with our pups and is very thoughtful as well! it was possibly going to rain so she came a little earlier for one of the drop in so they would have time to run around outside and get out some energy. it’s so much easier going on trips knowing our fur babies are well taken care of!

About: Hi! My name is Piyawadee, you can call me Annie, and I’m a lifelong dog lover with a genuine passion for caring for animals. I’ve had dogs my entire life, and currently I have a beagle of my own who brings so much joy to my daily routine. Spending time with dogs has always been something special to me—they’re not just pets, they’re incredible companions. I truly believe dogs have a unique way of providing comfort and emotional support, and they’ve always helped lift my spirits, no matter what kind of day I’m having. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I’m experienced in—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. In fact, I’ve always felt that if I ever changed careers, working with dogs would be my dream job. Being around them brings me happiness, reduces stress, and gives me a sense of fulfillment that’s hard to find elsewhere. That’s exactly why I decided to become a dog sitter. I’m excited to spend my free time, weekends, and days off helping others by taking care of their beloved pets. I understand how important it is to know your dog is in safe, caring hands, and I will treat your dog with the same love and attention I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I'm currently working from home 2 days a week and off the whole weekend. I can provide boarding, walking, and drop-in services from Friday to Sunday. I live in the house with the big backyard in a great neighborhood. I can walk the dog around the neighborhood and play with your dog in the backyard. Our yard is unfenced, but we are planning to build the fence in this summer.

I had a really positive experience. Sue came out for a meet and greet a couple days before so my puppy could get to know her. On the days of the service she walked him, played with him, and made sure he got some attention and activity. She kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the visits, which gave me peace of mind. Everything went smoothly and I felt he was well cared for.

About: I've been caring for the pets of my family and friends for years, and I'm ready to give them a lot of love and care as they need it. Besides dogs, I'm also experienced in caring for cats, small animals, and chickens. I'm currently on summer break having just graduated from high school, so I have almost unlimited time to take care of your pets and a lot of flexibility. I'm active and can give your pet some lively exercise and play if needed, but I also have experience with older dogs and skittish dogs who need a gentler touch.

About: As a dog owner myself, I treat every dog like they’re my own. My goal isn’t just to walk your pup—it’s to make sure they come home happy, safe, and mentally fulfilled As a dog owner myself, caring for animals has become a natural part of my daily routine. I love staying active, spending time outdoors, and making sure every dog gets the exercise, attention, and affection they deserve while their owners have peace of mind. I know how important it is to run on a strict schedule. As I own a dog myself, she too is provided with strict feeding and walking times that fit our schedule. I will do everything I can to make sure your pet is treated with the same care and respect!

About: I have two dogs of my own and have worked in pet sitting for the last few years. I have experience working with a wide range of dogs from type of breed, age, and size. I am currently in graduate school completing my clinical externship hours at Drexel University. The program runs Monday through Friday. I can do late evenings or weekends. I value following the clients requests for how to care for their pet and prefer meeting with clients before to determine how they care for their pets on a day to day basis so I can follow their schedule as similarity as possible.

Once again, Sharyn came to the rescue! I completely forgot we were going somewhere for Mother's Day and I contacted her last minute and she saved the day. She was in constant contact since she was en route home from a trip and wasn't sure if she'd hit traffic so she kept me posted the whole time. Send me the BEST pictures and the cutest report card. I am so grateful for Sharyn!!

Another great experience with Ryan & Shannon! I went out of town for the day and they completed a schedule of three drop ins for my dog, including walking, feeding, and cuddles. Ryan & Shannon continue to be enthusiastic, professional, and trustworthy pet sitters. I look forward to working with them again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Hightstown on Rover is $27.75 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 5,024 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Hightstown. 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 Hightstown 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 Hightstown 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 Hightstown 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 Hightstown. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.

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.
