“My dog Avery met Mary Jo for the first time today. You would have thought they were old friends since he was so excited to see her! He didn't hesitate going for a walk with her...and probably would have gone home with her if I let him! I am thrilled to know there is someone who I can trust to take care of him when I need help. Avery definitely has a new BFF.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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”
“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: Hi! My name is Caroline, and I have been caring for animals my entire life. Growing up around pets and helping care for dogs has given me extensive hands-on experience and a genuine love for animals. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and attentive. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I provide regular updates, photos, and prompt communication to give you peace of mind. I am comfortable caring for a wide variety of dogs and enjoy building positive relationships with both pets and their owners. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and provide the loving, dependable care they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I am available for drop-in visits and walks! I have availability on weekends for walks, drop-in visits, and extended care. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I am committed to being reliable, punctual, and communicative. If you have specific scheduling needs, feel free to reach out, and I’ll do my best to accommodate them. When caring for your dog, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine. During drop-in visits, I will make sure your dog has fresh water, food (if requested), potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’ll also monitor their overall well-being and let you know if I notice anything unusual. For walks, I provide safe, attentive exercise tailored to your dog’s energy level and needs. Whether your dog enjoys a leisurely stroll or a more active walk, I’ll make sure they get the physical activity and mental stimulation they need while staying safe and happy.
“Our dog loves Michaela! He is so comfortable with her and has a great time. He’s a big puppy and she is confident and comfortable handling him. Michaela is communicative and flexible to work with.”
“Danielle did a great job! She sent photos at every visit and kept me informed on what was going on every drop in. I would definitely recommend her if you needed someone to watch your pups. We definitely will be using her again .”
“I used Sherry again for my last business trip and the experience was just as great as the first time. She keeps me up to date on their activities, send me pictures and asked questions if she isn’t sure. All things I value highly! I will certainly use her again!”
“My first time ever using Rover and I feel I am spoiled with Hadija! She is magnificent at communicating and takes extra care of my one dog with severe anxiety. I can say enough about her.”
“Jennifer was fantastic! Ziggy the cat is not sociable but Jennifer took the time to speak with him and keep him company. She also sent pictures and gave me updates. Very happy with Jennifer and hope to use her again.”
“Janine was absolutely professional and efficient during her 8 days of care of my cat. She fed, played, and cleaned up after Graceson. I would recommend Janine in a heartbeat and will look to rebook if I need any future drop-ins!”
About: i’ve taken care of my dog since i was 12. I love animals whether it’s small or big. I treat them with with absolute love. I have 9 years of personal experience caring for my own dog, along with professional experience working with animals of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I previously worked at ShotVet Mobile Clinic and currently work at VCA Animal Hospital, where I’ve gained hands-on experience with animal handling, safe restraint, medication preparation, and assisting with veterinary procedures. Through these experiences, I’ve learned how important patience, safety, and compassionate care are when working with animals. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different needs and understand how to recognize when an animal may be stressed or uncomfortable. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I treat every pet with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own. My goal is to make sure your furry family member feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care! I currently work part-time at an animal hospital, and I would love to spend my days off caring for other pets! Since I already have experience working with animals, pet sitting fits naturally into my routine. I enjoy spending time with animals and would be happy to dedicate my free time to making sure your pets receive the love, attention, and care they deserve! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Through my experience working at an animal hospital, I’ve learned the importance of safe handling, recognizing signs of stress, and creating a comfortable environment for animals. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines, so I will carefully follow any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and other daily care needs. I will also keep you updated so you can feel confident knowing your furry family member is in caring hands!
“Administered meds to my cat, accommodating and asks questions I didn’t even think of. I was worried about being away from my precious baby Rosie and they made the visit feel stress free.”
“I can't say enough about Gary. We were in a tight spot when our original cat sitter had an emergency while we were already out of town and Rover helped us find another sitter fast - during a holiday weekend! Maybe it was meant to be because Gary was fantastic and we felt like our cats were in good hands from day 1. He was so attentive, sending us regular updates, pictures, and videos. Our cats are older and he even got them to play more than usual. Thank you Gary for giving us the peace of mind that enabled us to enjoy our vacation under some pretty stressful circumstances at the get-go. We will not hesitate to hire Gary again!”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Jamesburg is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $28 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 November 2026, there are 5,530 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 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
