“Boryana took such great care of our dog River! Received an update every evening with pictures!! She made me feel completely comfortable leaving him while I was away. I will be having her stay with River anytime we go away!”
“Mia was a wonderful pet sitter for our 2 dogs and 2 cats while we were away for 3 days. They absolutely loved her! Every picture she sent showed one of the pets snuggled with or licking her (or the kitties climbing on her back!) and they always looked very comfortable and happy. Mia sent a bunch of pictures several times each day, which made it reassuring to know that our pets were getting great care and attention all day long. We appreciate the time and care she gave our pets and will happily book her to watch them the next time we travel.”
“It’s was the first time we used Engenii. I was nervous for that reason but he was reliable. IDABELL loved him and seemed to enjoy her vacation at home. He send us pictures daily and took care of any emergencies that a raised . We would definitely use Engenii again and are grateful for this service ❤️.”
“Yasmine was a great choice to watch our new rescue dog June over the holidays! She kept in touch with pics and videos and was very thoughtful. She left the house clean and cared for. I highly recommend her, don’t hesitate to book her!”
“Stacey was prompt and arrived on time! Exceptional care provided by Stacey! Ralphie was well-loved and tended to with great attention to detail. Highly recommend her services!"”
About: I have a dog of my own, I’ve been taking care of him for 2 years and making sure to walk him everyday. I am a trusted dog walker I work from home and whenever I have time I love walking my dog out and neighbors dogs for an hour or two. Love dogs I do not have a fenced in yard but I have a leash I take them out with when they need to go to the bathroom
About: I am a Middle School Counselor off for the summer so my availability is incredibly flexible. I’ve had dogs in my family home since I was in middle school until today. My current dog Moonshine is a Beaglier who is the sweetest girl in the whole world! I have years of experience professionally working with families and children including in-home therapy, so I am comfortable traveling to homes in a professional setting. As a School Counselor, I am currently off of work for the summer so my weekday availability is very flexible. I can plan my daily/weekly living tasks around your needs. I have spent years of my professional career working with children and families. For part of my career that included in-home therapy, so I am comfortable and accustomed to entering homes in a professional setting. My top priority is respecting your home and your pet. My Beaglier, Moonshine, is happy to provide a positive review!
About: I offer thoughtful, in-home pet care designed for comfort, safety, and peace of mind—especially during holidays and extended stays. I welcome no more than 4 dogs at a time, ensuring each pet receives individualized attention in a calm, structured environment. Pets are never left alone, and I carefully separate them by size and temperament. Cats enjoy their own private, quiet space, completely separate from dogs. I have experience caring for rescue dogs and cats, senior pets, and pets who may need extra patience and reassurance while their families are away. During holidays and long stays, I focus on keeping routines consistent so pets feel secure and at home. Neighborhood walks and medication administration are included at no additional charge, and I provide plenty of love, supervision, and one-on-one time. For safety and handling considerations, a $25 additional fee applies to dogs over 100 lbs. Pet care is a family-supported service, and I work closely with my daughter Alexny, allowing for constant supervision, attentive care, and a warm, home-like environment where your pet is treated like family—even while you’re away. Pet care is part of my daily routine, not something I fit in between other commitments. Because I care for pets from my home, I am able to provide consistent supervision, regular walks, timely meals, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care and follow their individual routines closely. With the support of my daughter Alexny, pets are never left alone, and care remains steady and attentive during weekdays, weekends, and holidays. This allows me to offer a calm, structured, and reliable environment where pets feel safe and cared for at all times. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and emotional well-being are always my top priorities. I provide care in a calm, clean, and structured home environment, and pets are never left alone. I limit the number of pets I care for so each one receives close supervision and individualized attention. For outdoor time, I offer a large enclosed deck and a spacious backyard where one side is fenced and the other is secured with a portable fence to ensure dogs are safely protected at all times. Outdoor play is always closely supervised. I can also crate your dog if needed, always following your preferences. Pets are thoughtfully separated by size and temperament, and cats have their own quiet, dedicated space, completely separate from dogs. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including meals, walks, medications, and rest, to help them feel secure and at ease. I have experience with rescue pets, senior pets, and pets who need extra patience and reassurance, and I use gentle, positive handling at all times. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where pets feel at home and pet parents have complete peace of mind.
“Brittany is reliable, communicative, extremely conscientious and friendly. She took great care of my 2 cats and even brought my shy guy out of his shell. Highly recommend!!”
“Shalini took great care of Buttercup while we were away overnight. She communicated well, sent lots of photos and updates, left the house in pristine condition, and kept Buttercup great company, as evidenced by the happy dog we returned home to. We’d absolutely use her again in the future!”
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: 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!
“Vee was very attentive to our cat, Chaos. She took the time to come meet us before her stay, and she followed all of our instructions to the letter, especially for his medication. She kept us updated with information and pictures, and clearly enjoyed taking care of Chaos. We hope to have Vee cat sit for us again!”
“Excellent pet sitter. Very reliable, conscientious, caring and trustworthy. She kept us abreast of how our fur babies were doing each day and so pleasant to work with. I highly recommend her. Judy C.”
“Sara was great! She was quick to respond to any messages and sent lots of pics while we were gone. We were grateful she could house sit as one of our dogs gets pretty anxious when he is away from his comfort zone. Our pups had a great time with her and we will definitely reach out again in the future!”
“Dana was truly a lifesaver when a foot snowstorm hit our area and she agreed to stay overnight with our Chantilly Chantilly loves being with Dana and Dana took such great care of her”
About: I am reliable and on time, I have taken care of house animals to farm animals and love them all. If you are away for several hours or need a late night check in, I’m your guy. I currently work Sunday to Wednesday 6am to 6pm and available 7pm to Midnight. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday I am available most hours. Please feel free to reach out. Currently unable to do take home care so I will only be offering in home or walks at clients residence. Happy to work out a schedule for your convenience.
“My shy cat was comfortable around Miriyam. She took good care of the cats and her schedule worked very well with my cats. She sent regular updates and left the house clean.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Jamesburg on Rover is $39 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 3,276 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Jamesburg. 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 Jamesburg 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 Jamesburg 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 Jamesburg 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.

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.
