“Kathy has been absolutely wonderful to work with! I have two dogs, a senior Vizsla and young Boston Terrier. I hired Kathy to pet sit for three days, several hours each day. Kathy went above and beyond to make my pets feel comfortable! She engaged with them, sent pictures throughout the day and let me know how they were doing. She also had great communication prior to the booking. I will definitely hire Kathy again.”
“If there was a way to give Liz six stars on here, then I would want to give her seven stars. She is spectacular taking care of our pups. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter”
“Faith was so kind and our dogs were in great hands with her while we were away! She was able to come by the house a few days before to meet the boys, and needed very little additional help or direction after that. She stayed in our home all weekend and left it in better condition than when she arrived. She was also very responsive and answered messages quickly. We had some last minute travel plan changes and she was incredibly willing to accommodate and help. I will absolutely book with her again. Thank you Faith!”
“Mallory was excellent sitting for us over a long weekend! She was very communicative over the whole period and gave our pup so much love. We will definitely be looking to hire Mallory anytime we need a walker or sitter. Bonus, she left our home spotless so our return home was super easy!”
“Kam did an excellent job and was a pleasure to work with. She is very communicative and thoughtful. Our dog - who is usually quite anxious - was extremely comfortable and relaxed with her while we were on vacation, even over the 4th of July when loud noises usually bother him. Kam stayed at our home and sent lots of cute dog pics while we were away. Highly recommend!”
About: From the time I was old enough to ask “can we keep him” I’ve always taken care of my best friends. From walking them 3 miles to the vet (before I was old enough to drive) to daily feedings, bathing, grooming and of course, treats! While I spoil the pets, I’m always sure to give them the highest grade food and treats. I believe they deserve the best. Diet and exercise are important. A daily regiment of “fetch” is highly recommended by Duke, the black lab! I would love to take care of your best friend and ensure he/she is given the highest quality of care while keeping Duke company (Duke plays well with others.) I’ve been working from home for the last seven years. I always have time to make sure the water bowls are full and play time is given. Who says you can’t work from the patio while throwing a ball for fetch? Duke and I have a great fenced in yard for plenty of play time and potty breaks. All vegetation is harmless for pets. Grass is well groomed and “yard bombs” removed daily (or as often as required).
“We can’t say enough great things about Madelyn she took amazing care of our boys, Jett and Griffin, while we were away. From the start, communication was fantastic — we received regular updates, adorable photos:)”
“Rachel did an amazing job taking care of Walter while we were gone for the night. We were very happy to receive picture updates through the stay. I think Walter had an awesome time with Rachel and we will definitely be contacting her again for any help with Walter.”
“Eva was amazing with our dog Lola. Took her on walks, kept to her schedule, and gave her lots of love and belly rubs. She sent us daily pictures and let us know how things were going. We could not have asked for a better sitter and she definitely is a dog lover. Lola was sorry to see her go.”
“Well, Brittany did another fabulous job caring for my 3 special needs dogs in my home while I was vacationing in Iceland for 2 weeks. Thank you, Brittany! I'll be calling you again soon.”
“Kayla was great with my older dog. She made Sadie feel comfortable immediately and gained her trust to administer her needed eye medications. I would definitely book her again in the future!”
“Emberly was spectacular. She helped us out with very short notice, taking care of three dogs that can get pretty rowdy. She handled our sick puppy with the care, love, and affection Dottie needed, even though Emberly didn’t know until the night before how much specialized care Dottie would need. My wife and I greatly appreciate Emberly’s help, and we would definitely use her again.”
“Angie took great care of our dog and cat while we were out for a weekend. She shared pics and updates, and coordinated to stay a little longer the day of our return when our plane was delayed. We came home to happy pets and a well kept environment. I am very grateful to Angie for taking care of our pets like we would.”
“Jamie just did a two week stay with our 2 kitties and we are very pleased with how it went. Our cats have some issues and Jamie did great with the lengthy instructions we left. She sent daily updates and pictures and the cats were happy and healthy when we returned. She is very caring and her love for animals is very apparent. We will definitely be using Jamie in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for about 4 years, i have 2 dogs and 1 cat at my house so i’m very used to how they act, crazy or calm. I’m currently able to do full time for drop ins, walks and house sitting. I can do Mornings, afternoon and evening for your animals! I am also very flexible on weekends and can accept last minute bookings if needed. I leash my dogs when they go outside so i can do that with other dogs, i love to do tricks for treats with them and teach new tricks just for fun, i also love to take dogs on walks and make them feel comfortable with what they normally do on a daily basis.
“Christina was amazing! She came to my rescue during a stressful time, and from our first conversation through booking, meeting my pups, and her overnight stay, I never had a single worry while I was away. Her kindness, communication, and genuine care for my dogs gave me complete peace of mind. I couldn’t be happier with the experience and will definitely be reaching out to her again the next time I need someone to watch my babies!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,511 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Jersey. 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 Jersey 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 Jersey 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 Jersey 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.
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.
