“Lisa is first and foremost an amazing friendly and professional pet sitter! When my cats and I met her to go over instructions during our meet and greet, I knew my cats were going to be in great and caring hands. Lisa took an interest in my cats likes and dislikes, took notes on the particularity of their feeding and routines, and asked pertinent questions to better understand their needs. The visit updates and photos were great and made me feel at ease being away from them, and I came home to happy cats that were well cared for and would not hesitate to ask Lisa to watch over them again!”
“Rachel is an excellent person to care for your dog. She is reliable, dependable, transparent. She really cares about my dog. She is easy to work with and I highly recommend her!”
About: I have had pets my whole life, especially dogs. I have a dog currently whom would love to also play with your dog if possible when I walk or care for them overnight! My dog is spoiled as some people like to say :) I would love to watch or walk your dog when there are certain events you need to attend and just want to give your dog some loving. I have a fenced in yard which is also amazing for the dogs to run in. You would be able to trust your dog when staying/walking with me. I can even provide updates. I promise you won't be disappointed when choosing me! Just another note, I Am available most weekends to do walks as well! I’m currently working from home, so I am available to do walks, drop in visits, etc. as my schedule permits and on most weekends am around for overnight stay. I have a fenced yard and my dog Jada to keep yours company. Lots of room for them to run back an forth. I can also crate your dog if needed. Some dogs feel more safe with their crates.
About: I am a college student and have experience with little and big dogs. I have been a pet owner for a majority of my life. I have watched dogs for my friends, family members, and neighbors, while they are away for a short period or extended time periods . I have assisted owners with potty training and continue with the same commands and rules of their home with their fur baby. I am very trust worthy and responsible. I love all dogs and have the knowledge to take care of your babies while you are away. I have 2 fur babies of my own at home so I spend a lot of time in my daily life with them. All of my friends, family, and neighbors have dogs so I am constantly around or taking care of them. I have a fenced in yard and two pups of my own. I also have a crate easily accessible if need be. I have lots of doggy toys. I prefer not to have other dogs at my house since I do have a puppy and another very old dog. I maintain a clean dog safe environment to ensure the safety of all pups and avoid situations.
“Kelly has been helping me with my two small dogs, Gigi and Roxie. She is very loving towards them while handling feeding, pee pad cleanup, and whatever else they may need while I am out of town.”
“Alycia was wonderful. Super friendly and calm. Arrived on time, met us first. Sent us pics and updates. Followed directions. Took care going in and out of our home. I would def ask her again to sit for our Nutty :)”
“Great job by Kamryn, was able to help take care of our cats and even brought in packages from our doorstep while we were out. Very helpful and nice, will be rebooking with her in the future and would recommend her to anyone who needs pet sitting/ drop in visits.”
About: I have taken care of animals from childhood and beyond. I have an array of experience and a few pets myself. I care for your pets as if they were my own. I am a teacher who is off for the summer I am looking to fill my days with animals and joy. I am reliable and dedicated to providing the best service for you and your fur baby. I treat every animal with kindness and trust. I have years of experience with all size dogs and cats alongside all different kinds of personalities.
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.
“Ella was amazing with my pup! Ella does check in’s for me while I’m at work and my dog is not the easiest to handle sometimes. She is scared of everything and does not cooperate with new people without me around but Ella was so patient and got my dog to love and trust her quickly! By the third day my dog was running around the yard with her and eating all her food. When I go to the office I know my dog is in good hands and I don’t have to worry. Ella is a great dog sitter and truly cares for the dogs she is watching.”
“This was my first time using Rover with Jamie and I couldn’t have had a better first time experience. She took care of my baby and sent pictures of the fun they had and made sure to text and update me when she left. 100% will be calling Jamie back and would highly recommend her services.”
About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs most of my life and really enjoy connecting with each pet’s unique personality. Caring for my senior dog Benji during his later years taught me a lot about patience and paying attention to the little things that make a big difference in their comfort and happiness. I’m gentle and patient with shy or nervous pets and enjoy creating calm, low-stress environments. But I’m also happy to play and engage with energetic pets to help them burn off energy and feel satisfied by the end of our visit. I’m comfortable administering medications and always treat pets and their homes with respect and care. I work full time during the week, so most of my availability is in the early mornings (6-9 am), evenings (after 5:30 pm), and weekends. There can be some flexibility there if we work it out ahead of time :) I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine as much as possible, and I make sure they still get plenty of attention and care during the times I’m with them. If your pet needs a consistent schedule, just let me know and I’ll do my best to accommodate. When I visit your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable by following their routine closely, keeping their space clean, and paying attention to anything that might seem off. I always double check that doors and windows are secure before I leave. I know it’s a big deal to trust someone with your pet and your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“I would leave more stars if I could! Lily did a FANTASTIC job caring for my 2 cats while I was away. My cats eat only wet food, several times a day, so automatic feeders had to be set up daily. Lily did a great job following the instructions on how to feed them and it was nice returning from a long weekend away to a clean home- clean cat bowls, clean litter box, clean eating area, etc! I cannot thank Lily enough and I will be hiring her again soon!”
About: I've been a dog owner for over 40 years, I love all kinds of dogs, big and small. I just lost my best buddy Ziggy and I’m looking to share the love! I just retired so I have lots of availability and flexibility. I live in Marlboro township. Hope to hear from you soon! Available all day every day , short notice okay. I am retired and looking for some new buddies to hang with. Hope to hear from you soon!! I can watch in my home if needed. I’m happy to have them stay for an overnight if needed. I’ll treat your buddy like they’re my own.
About: I have extensive experience at an animal shelter, where I was tasked with walking and helping train dogs of all different sizes and behavioral patterns. I have also done overnight stays with dogs, ensuring these fur babies are being taken care of while their owners are away! I am currently working a part time library job about four days out of the week and am looking to make time for dog walking/sitting in between those days! Caring for pets in my client’s home means slowly introducing myself to their space so they know I can be welcomed and trusted in their environment! This means acclimating myself to their space and following their behaviors based on boundaries.

This is the second time Alex has visited our Kitty while we were out of town, and she is the best sitter we could ever ask for! She’s so attentive and sweet. I enjoyed getting detailed updates and photos from her every day and didn't have to worry about our Kitty at all, since we knew he was in great hands.
Rachel is amazing!!! We are new to the area and were looking for someone who we could trust with our lab, Bob. Rachel met us for a meet and greet and was so warm, welcoming and an amazing communicator. Bob loves her! We are excited to keep working with her in the future!
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!
Steve is an absolute lifesaver and truly the BEST of the best! As someone living out of state, when a family emergency struck and left our beloved feline companion in need of urgent care during a major holiday week, I was in a complete panic. But then Steve came to the rescue, responding with lightning speed and professionalism that immediately put my mind at ease. He didn't just provide "excellent care"; Steve went above and beyond in every possible way. He understood the anxiety of being far away and proactively sent detailed updates, including photos and videos, which were an incredible source of comfort. Beyond the immediate needs, Steve meticulously identified and communicated a list of necessary supplies, ensuring our furry family member had everything required to remain healthy and safe. Steve's dedication, quick thinking, and genuine compassion transformed a stressful, difficult situation into one filled with immense relief and gratitude. I cannot recommend him highly enough – he's not just a cat sitter, he's a guardian angel for pets and their worried owners!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Keansburg is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $36 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 26,020 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Keansburg. 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.

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.
