About: I’ve owned a small dog since 2017 and have been taking care of many different kinds of dogs since I was around 11 years old. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and personalities through family, friends, and neighbors, including medium and large breeds. I’ve also dog sat and walked regularly, so I’m comfortable handling different routines and energy levels. What sets me apart is my reliability and my ability to read dog body language. I pay close attention to how dogs are feeling and adjust to their needs, whether they’re playful, anxious, or more laid-back. Animals tend to trust me quickly, and I make sure every dog I care for feels safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine alongside school and my part-time job. I’m doing this to gain even more hands-on experience with animals because it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting around my schedule, and I make sure to only accept bookings I can fully commit to. I also volunteer at an animal shelter, which has given me additional experience working with different types of animals and temperaments. Because of this, caring for pets is already a regular part of my life, and I’m used to balancing responsibilities while still giving animals the time, attention, and care they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. For dog walking, I make sure each walk matches the dog’s energy level, whether that’s a quick potty break or a longer, more active walk. I pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings to keep them safe at all times. For pet sitting, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, and any specific care routines. I spend quality time with pets so they feel comfortable and not alone, whether that’s playing, relaxing with them, or just being present. I’m also very respectful of my clients’ homes, keeping everything clean and secure. I’m reliable, communicative, and make sure to provide updates so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands.

About: As a lifelong pet owner with years of hands-on experience, I know how much your furry family members mean to you. I specialize in creating a calm, loving environment, especially for dogs and cats who get a little nervous or anxious. Whether it's a leisurely walk or a cozy day of companionship, your pet will feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I treat every animal like my own, because that's the only way I know how I currently do not work and I would like to use this time to bond with pets and make lasting connections. I enjoy this type of activity and should be open most days of the week. I am meticulous and always follow all directions. I have gotten some pretty thorough briefings on pets before and then glowing reviews afterward. Pets feel safe and comfortable with me and I’m happy to provide extra reassurances to the pet parents as well.

About: Hi, I’m Lauren! I was a proud dog mom to two amazing girl dogs until recently, and I truly miss the joy of caring for a dog. While my family isn’t ready to have another of our own just yet, I’d love to help others by spending time with their furry family members. When I was young, I worked as a Seeing Eye Dog trainer, which gave me years of experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable with everything from playful puppies to older companions who just want a calm walk and a cuddle. Whether you need drop-ins, walks, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your pup feels loved, safe, and right at home while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule. Typcailly I work from home on Wednesdays and always Fridays. On the work from home days, I don't start until 10AM so I am free in the mornings and will take my lunch for the afternoon walks. In our home, we have an enclosed deck. Gate if needed to avoid the stairs. Nothing on the ground to chew. Pet free home. In other homes, I am always wondering where the pup is. I ensure to keep a close eye if they tend to be a trouble maker.

About: I’ve taken care of 5 family dogs from puppyhood to later stages of life as well as dog sat for family friends and other family members. I currently work full time but I get home around 3pm most days. I normally get home and take my puppy Robin on a two mile walk and run. I care for Robin with a fenced in small yard and using the crate for when me and my fiancée are out. I would take care of your dog in whichever way you need.

Taylor was absolutely wonderful with our new puppy, Cooper. We were so worried about having to be away from him, but Taylor kept us updated on everything Cooper was doing. She bonded with him so well and even worked with him on playing fetch and training him to "drop it" We absolutely recommend her! Thanks so much, Taylor!

About: Hi, my name is Christina! I’m 33 years old and a proud single mom of two wonderful kids. We’re a loving, active household that adores animals, and caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when you leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. That’s why I treat every dog like they’re my own—with patience, love, and plenty of playtime. Whether it’s long walks, cuddles on the couch, or keeping up with their routines, I make sure each pup feels safe, happy, and right at home. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and attentive, I’d love to help care for your dog while you’re away! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. As a mom, I’m already used to keeping a structured schedule, and I enjoy starting and ending my days with walks, feedings, and plenty of playtime. My kids and I love spending time outdoors, so including dogs in our activities—like walks around the neighborhood or playtime in the yard—comes naturally. Since I’m home most of the day, I’m able to give pets consistent attention, bathroom breaks, and lots of love. Caring for animals is something I look forward to, not something I squeeze in—it’s a natural part of how I spend my days. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. I follow their regular routines as closely as possible—feeding, walking, playtime, and cuddle time—so they feel at ease. My home is pet-friendly with plenty of space for play and relaxation, and I give each pet lots of love and attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines while making sure their pet feels cared for and secure. I stick to the owner’s instructions, keep everything clean, and send regular updates with photos so you have peace of mind. Whether it’s daily walks, fresh food and water, administering medications, or just giving extra snuggles, I make sure every pet feels happy and loved while you’re away.

About: I have experience in crate training puppies and caring for senior dogs. I currently own a blue heeler-chihuahua mix and have previously owned dachshunds and labs. I work flexible hours and am often remote. My husband is full-time remote and is available to assist weekdays at any hour as needed. I am able to travel locally to care for your pets! Personally, for my dog, it was important that I crate train her and give her plenty of space to roam during the day. I take her out and walk her often and she loves to play with toys and bones.

About: I am a long-time pet sitter with experience with both dogs and cats, puppies and elder dog care, and medication administration.

About: I am a lifelong dog owner with hands-on experience caring for my own dog as well as watching dogs for friends and family. Through these experiences, I have become comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic care, providing exercise, reinforcing household routines, and giving dogs the attention and companionship they need. What sets me apart is that I understand how important it is to treat every dog like a member of the family. I am dependable, attentive to each dog’s individual needs, and committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and preferences so they can feel secure and happy in my care. I am also comfortable caring for dogs of different ages and energy levels and can accommodate special instructions from owners to ensure consistency and peace of mind. I am a school psychologist off for the summer. I am available through Labor Day for more full time care, and on week nights and weekends during the school year. I have a fenced in yard that is pet friendly! I have a very active five year old golden doodle, so my home is pet proofed.

Bethany was amazing. She was excellent at communication, and sending plenty of photos while we were away. If she had questions, she always asked and clarified. We agreed to have her boyfriend assist on some days- and our dogs seemed to love him just as much as they loved her! Not everyone can handle a Great Dane and German Shepherd as well as she did :) 100% rebooking with her, and recommending her to family/friends in the area!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Keansburg on Rover is $25.68 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 24,687 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Keansburg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Keansburg stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Keansburg 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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Keansburg with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Keansburg. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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.
