“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.”
About: I have raised puppies and kittens, along with taking care of older pets. I am a responsible, trustworthy, caring adult who loves animals. I will take excellent care of your pet and make sure they are happy until you return home. I retired from teaching and now want to take care of others’ pets. My schedule is very flexible, including days and weekends. I am happy to tailor my pet sitting to whatever your pet needs. I am very comfortable around dogs & cats because I have owned pets my whole life. I am patient, caring & conscientious & will love your dog like my own. I will also make sure they get plenty of exercise, play time, & potty breaks.
“Rachel stayed with our pups for a week while we were on vacation. Our home was cared for and our pups were loved all week! One of our pups was on antibiotics while simultaneously battling an ear infection and Rachel managed both without hesitation! Thank you Rachel!”
About: I am a veterinary student at OSU! I have also been a veterinary technician for over five years! I have a busy schedule but will always make time for you and your pet(s). I will love them like my own while you’re away! I am just a full time veterinary student, however I can always fit time in to hang out with animals! I love animals so much! They’re amazing I have two cats with me here. I have a dog park in my neighborhood and I would love to just walk about your neighborhood with them:)
“Laken was instant friends with our little guy! She communicated very well and made us feel like Otto was in good hands. Otto looks forward to spending more time with Laken! Thank you! 😊”
“OMG! Jamie came through for us at the last minute when our travel plans were disrupted by Southwest Airlines. She handled the situation and our German Shepard well beyond anything we could have expected!! We highly recommend her!!! Thank you, thank you Jamie!!!!”
“Stephanie was a wonderful sitter - she was quick to reply to us, even for a last-minute request, and provided us with frequent text/photo updates just how we like it. We came home to a clean apartment and a happy pup. We’d love to have her take care of our dog again!”
“This was our first time using Rover and leaving our pups with someone other than family. Victoria really went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and I know she spoiled the dogs! Our oldest dog keeps going up to the guest room to look for her! Victoria did an amazing job and we will continue to ask her to watch the dogs in the future!”
“Our pup and kitty LOVE Kaelin!! We’ve had her pet sit for the past 2 Christmas breaks and she’s been wonderful. Our dog is very high maintenance (kidney issues, IBS, and he’s blind) and it’s such a relief knowing he’s well taken care of while we’re away.”
“Sahara was an absolutely wonderful house and dog sitter! Our two dogs were cared for with attention to detail and many snuggles! Sahara communicates really well, updates frequently, and sends adorable daily photos! We will use her again!”
“Monae was incredible! Our pupper absolutely adored her, and got to go on so many hikes! Monae is an also a great communicator, and as an added bonus our house immaculate when we got back. I totally recommend her!”
“Gabby was a great house/pet sitter for me! She was communicative throughout her stay, sent pictures and updates and the dog was a happy guy when I returned home. She even took out the trash and stripped the sheets off the bed. Those little extra touches were so nice.”
About: Hi I’m Izzy! I currently work at an animal hospital in kennel care. I’ve adopted/fostered 15 animals (dogs,cats,birds,etc) since I was 8 years old. I’ve petsit for friends, teachers, and close connections! Since I do have an animal working job, that does mean that I will have to work around that. Some days mornings work better, as others the day or evening. Yet I'm very flexible and communication can sort that out! I make sure that your cat/s is good with water, any food, medication (if needed) and double check before and after if there’s any cautions that he/she could get to. On top of that picture & video updates!
“Awia was absolutely amazing! From our initial meet-and-greet, she was kind, attentive, and genuinely interested in learning about Rumi and his routine. She even followed up afterward with a thoughtful message letting me know she was looking forward to caring for him and would take great care of him—which she absolutely did. While I was away, Awia provided regular updates, including texts and photos, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. She was communicative, reliable, and respectful of my home, making her an exceptional sitter and house guest. It was clear that Rumi was in great hands the entire time. I highly recommend Awia and would not hesitate to book with her again!”
“Shelly was great!! She communicated frequently about how our cats and dog were doing and sent lots of pictures. I hope to use her in the future!”
“Selena was great with Zoey. She had great communication and sent photos throughout her stay which really helped us feel reassured that she was being taken great care of. We’d definitely use selena again and highly recommend her.”
“Lucas was great! He spent a week at our home with our Great Dane Goose. Goose seemed super happy (and most importantly, tired) once we returned home. Lucas was responsive, respectful, and communicative through out the trip. Will 100% be repeat clients.”
About: I have taken care of various kinds of dogs, ranging from large to small. Through house sitting with my mother when I was younger, I gained valuable experience and learned how to adapt to each dog's specific needs then. More recently, I have gained even deeper insight after getting a dog of my own and watching him grow from a small puppy into the big, 60-pound boy he is today. Through this, I have developed various approaches to managing dogs and creating a safe, fun environment for both the dog and myself. I myself have a very needy dog. His name is Danny he loves to be very wild, which has taught me various lessons on setting aside boundaries for the dog. Very well. He eats a organic diet mixed with his regular feed. He has various stress-tension toys which are kindred to his rough play style. He also gets vet visits often.

FAQs for House Sitting - Jersey
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,507 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 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.
