About: Hi, I’m Isabella and I’m passionate about providing safe, loving, and reliable care! Your pet’s comfort and well-being are always my top priority, as my experience with a variety of species supports my desire to provide. I currently work at a veterinary hospital, caring for pets of all ages (from babies to seniors) so I’m comfortable handling a wide range of needs. My experience goes beyond work also as I’ve had a variety of pets throughout my life! I’m currently finishing up some summer college credits, which gives me great flexibility for early morning and mid-to-late day check-ins after class. My schedule is consistent week-to-week, so you can count on reliable timing and routine for your pet! I tailor my care to each pet’s routine to keep them as comfortable and stress-free as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely and prioritize any preferences your pet is used to. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you feel confident your pet is in good hands!
“Thank you so much for taking care of my cats while I was away. I truly appreciate your time and help, and overall I was very happy knowing they had someone looking after them. Wishing you nothing but happiness and all the best in life. Take care”
“Sharyn was great taking care of my cat and rabbit and giving multiple medications to them. You can tell she loves animals and cares so much about them. I highly recommend her.”
“She did such an amazing job watching my 2 dogs and cat. I appreciated all of the photo updates I received. Everyone seemed well taken care of while I was away. Would recommend her 1000x.”
“Jeffrey was on time and very attentive to our dog. We greatly appreciated his updates and photos. His reliability and caring for our dog gave us peace of mind while we were 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: 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!
“Dana watches our kitty Narcissa for a second time and was wonderful again! Our girl remembered Dana and immediately warmed back up to her. Dana left detailed reports and took extra good care of our girl each visit. Would gladly recommend her and will definitely use her services again!”
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 love dogs and have always grown up with them. I am reliable, believe in clear communication and provide frequent picture updates to ensure that owners are comfortable knowing their pets are safe and happy under my care :) My job is fully remote and I am pretty flexible with my time. Let me know what works best for you and your pet(s) — 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.
About: I previously worked at Best Friends Pet Care. I worked there for two and a half years! I specialized there as a tiny camp counselor where I monitored a group of small to medium sized dogs for a few hours. I have experience handling, playing with and taking care of dogs from 2lbs to 150lbs, i’ve seen it all! I’ve also dealt with dogs of many ages from puppies to seniors. I have two family dogs of my own and currently have a cat with my partner and am my happiest when caring for fuzzy friends! I’m used to having an animal around 24/7 and wouldn’t have it any other way. I am currently in between jobs after a move. I am now available Monday- Friday anywhere from 10am - 5pm! I have lots of time to be with your fur baby. I can communicate with you on whatever you need for your pets! Whether that involves walks/ medication/ crates/ play time etc. I am open to hearing your dog’s personal needs and helping how I can!
“Michael was an amazing cat sitter to our 3 indoor boys and took care of our 1 feral lady outside! He was there everyday we were gone at the boys “dinner time” without fail! I received adorable photos of the belly rubs and even my shy guy came out for treats! That’s a testament to the animal person Michael is! When we returned home from our vacation the house was exactly how we left it and the boys had plenty of food and water. Their boxes were clean and the area was tidy. We will absolutely be using Michael’s services again!”
About: I have 5 years of experience caring for pets and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away I have a flexible schedule and currently work part-time, so I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I’m available for walks, visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. There is a park right near my apartment, which makes it easy to take your pet for regular walks and outdoor time. I can also stay at your home and care for your pets there upon request
About: I have a lot of experience volunteering at various animal shelters and caring for cats and dogs of all ages. I have had elderly, disabled and animals in need of help due to an illness in my care as well. I have also had limited experience training younger dogs. I am currently working completely online, so I will have plenty of time to care for animals! However, I will have commitments on most weekends. I have a spacious house, with multiple levels, which can be blocked off in case an animal may not be able to use them. I also have a large backyard with plenty of room for larger animals to run around. I have no other pets. I am also able to crate a dog in case they are crate trained, and am quite flexible with any other accommodations for an animal.
“Rebecca was amazing, reliable and communicative. She gave my pom oral medication twice daily while I was away and topical treatment for her skin infection. She was attentive and caring toward my other 2 dogs and gave them treats as well. Rebecca was of major assistance while I was out of town and I can't say her praises highly enough. Definitely recommend leaving your pets on her care as she's a true animal lover and very responsible.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Jamesburg
This was my first week returning to work with a new puppy, and I had the puppy blues so badly! Joel made the whole transition so much easier and gave me such peace of mind while I was away at work. He was incredibly responsive, reliable, and so easy to work with. My puppy can be very skittish on walks, but after spending time with Joel, he is already so much more confident! It means so much knowing he is in such good hands when I can’t be there. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better walker/sitter. Thank you so much, Joel, for making this first week back to work so much easier for both of us! I highly recommend him!
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.
It was my first time using a Rover service. Mutsuko and Toru were reliable and handled two energetic, crazy, big boys very well. I used to bring them to the dog hotel, but I hate the fact that they are over-vaccinated to stay there. I was thrilled to see the pictures they sent me of every walk, and I was notified of their bathroom activities. I do highly recommend them.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Jamesburg is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $22 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 5,566 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Jamesburg. 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 Jamesburg. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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.
