“Dominique was absolutely wonderful with our sweet Millie! She was timely for the drop-in and made sure Millie was happy and comfortable by scooping her litter, refilling her food, giving her a treat and playing with her. We could not have asked for a better sitter to give us peace of mind!”

About: I've had small to medium sized dogs but that does not limit me to any other sizes. I enjoy having dogs as company and playing with them till we’re both tired. I work from home and will go to the office at least once a month if needed. My work schedule is 9AM-5PM but I would be able to take your dog outside throughout the day. I live in a friendly and quiet neighborhood and parks are also available near me. I have the flexibility to drive any distance between 5-15 miles away from my home. Please require any special instructions that you would like followed for your dog and any health concerns they may have. Can't wait you meet you and your furry friend! Thank you for your consideration.

“Laura provided excellent service and communication regarding our cats while we were gone for 9 days. My 2 senior cats need daily medication (oral pills and topical cream) and Laura was comfortable with this situation. When we booked our vacation, months ago, they didn't need any medication, so finding the right sitter leading up to our time away was stressful for me, but Laura was great and helped me feel more at ease while on our big family vacation. It turned out that one of my cats would hide with each visit, which I'm sure was annoying to manage, but Laura stuck with it. We can't thank her enough for caring for our aging cats!”

About: Greyhound lady with over a decade training and caring for dogs, including certifying two rescued racetrack greyhounds as therapy dogs through Bright and Beautiful Therapy Dogs. I've cared for five rescue dogs over the years — four greyhounds and a pug mix — handling everything from puppy adjustment to senior care, including medications, mobility needs, and end-of-life support. I use calm, positive-reinforcement handling and I'm skilled at reading a dog's stress or comfort level in real time, so walks stay relaxed and enjoyable. I'm also experienced with nervous or reactive dogs, having safely de-escalated an unleashed dog confrontation while working a mail route. My own dog takes 1.5 hours walk per day. We love Donaldson Park and the Highland Park Meadows, Johnson Park, Cheesequake and Morristown National Park for treats. Safety comes first on every walk. I read each dog's body language and comfort level before we even leave the door, and I adjust pace, route, or duration accordingly — a skill I built training two rescued greyhounds as certified therapy dogs. I stay alert to hazards like other loose animals, traffic, and extreme heat, and I know how to calmly de-escalate a tense situation if one arises. I treat every pet with the same patience and care I give my own rescue dogs, and I communicate clearly with owners before and after each walk so they always know how their pet is doing.

About: I've always loved all animals since I was a kid but have a special affinity for dogs and cats. I lost my sweet pup, Ewan, in 2019 to Hemangiocarcoma (a blood cancer) and to this day I still mourn him and can feel his presence in my life. I also lost my dear cat, Figaro, last year to natural old age causes. I'm a very good dog and cat dad and miss them terribly. In the past few years, so many friends and family have asked me to pet sit their fur babies and they always remark that they know their dog or cat is in the best possible hands with me. That they can actually relax on their trip because of how responsible and devoted I am to their pets and how much their pets adore me. Everyone has been encouraging me to sign up for Rover and now I'm finally doing it! I honestly believe Ewan and Figaro guided me here in their own way to spend time with your beloved kiddos. I look forward to getting to meet you and your pets! I work remotely from home as a story consultant and my longest sessions are around 2 hours, so I have most of the day to hang out with your fur baby! If your pet is staying at my place, they'll most likely hang out with me in the large loft area where I work. So they won't be left alone (unless they're the type that needs their space!) The minute they tell me they need to go out for a walk or really just need attention, I'm all theirs. If they're used to taking naps or sleeping on the bed at night, that also is fine by me! :) If I'm at your place, of course I'll abide by your exact rules for them. I follow instructions well and provide plenty of photo updates so you can relax and know your fur baby is in good hands!

About: I have 2 small mixed playful and friendly dogs. I am a dog lover and truly enjoy the time I have with each dog in my care. I have a breezeway where your dog can stay and hang out. The breezeway has sliding dooos that open to a large, fully fenced backyard. My work as a home care Physical Therapist allows me to have a schedule that is flexible. I am able to check in intermittently on the dog(s) during the day for potty breaks or as needed as I work close to, or around my home. I can provide medications, shots, etc as needed. I am also very flexible with the dogs in my care and provide attention and love each one as if he or she was my own fur baby. I et them sleep on my furniture or bed if that is what they like. My home will be a safe and comfortable haven for your furry child(ren). And you can relax while on vacation. My work as a home care Physical Therapist allows flexibility and I am able to do drop ins as needed. I can also pick up and drop off dogs if requested. I have a large fenced backyard and 2 friendly dogs who will keep your fur child(ren) company. I make sure each dog gets the attention and care they need.

About: Reliable, patient, and loving pet sitter providing personalized care for puppies, adults, and senior dogs. I follow routines, give plenty of attention, and treat every dog like family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule(teacher) that allows plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and giving each pet the attention and care they deserve. Once school starts, my routine will vary. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. I follow each pet's routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of affection. In a client's home, I respect their space while maintaining their pet's normal schedule to help them feel relaxed and happy.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love caring for them. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable with feeding, administering basic medications, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and sticking to your pet’s normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I believe every pet deserves to be treated like family, so you can expect plenty of love, affection, and personalized care while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, reliable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I wake up every morning at 6:00 AM, which allows me to provide early morning potty breaks, feedings, walks, or check-ins without rushing. Since I’m not currently working outside the home, I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate my time and attention to caring for pets throughout the day. Whether your pet needs multiple visits, long walks, playtime, medication, or simply companionship, I’m available to give them the love, care, and consistency they deserve while you’re away. When your pet stays in my home, they’ll be treated like part of the family. I have a friendly, spayed female dog who gets along well with other dogs, and your pet will have plenty of opportunities for supervised play and companionship if they’re comfortable with other animals. My apartment community also has a large grassy area that’s perfect for walks, potty breaks, and exercise throughout the day. I’ll follow your pet’s usual feeding schedule, provide fresh water, plenty of playtime, cuddles, and a safe, clean environment to help them feel comfortable and at home. My goal is to make their stay as stress-free, fun, and loving as possible while you’re away.

About: Hi!! I am Payton, I currently have three cats. I’ve had all types of animals growing up. I have had extensive experience with dogs, cats, small pets, reptiles, fish, etc. due to not only owning them, but also working long-term at various shelters, animal organizations, sanctuaries, etc. I have experience with many special needs; diabetic cats, dogs with heart conditions etc and know how to both administer oral and injectable medication as i was sole caregiver to many of these animals and had to do that kind of stuff on the daily sometimes multiple times a day. I also still to this day foster cats and kittens and have to attend to their medical needs. Your animals safety is my only focus and I love being with animals I’m very flexible on the weekends and weekdays due to doing schooling online. I answer messages very fast.

I start each morning with feeding, and playing and cuddles with them, Evenings are the same, with weekly rotations. I also foster kittens for my local shelter from time to time due to that I adjust my schedule based on each pet’s needs, ensuring consistency and comfort. Whether in my home or a client’s, I prioritize a calm, pet-safe environment. I follow all feeding, medication, and safety instructions closely. I monitor behavior very closely and always build trust through consistency, gentle handling, and lots of positive interaction. Cleanliness and communication are key.

About: I love animals and have experience working with and sitting for a wide range of them, including dogs, cats, and small or exotic animals. I myself have owned over twenty parrots (currently have two in the aviary!) and have extensive experience with fishkeeping — I have four cycled, walstad fish and shrimp tanks! I can walk your dog, clean your cat’s litter box, and even do water changes for your fish if needed! Anything to make sure your little guys are well cared for! I’m a graduate student who will be free over the summer, so my schedule is flexible until late August. I can make myself and my home available as needed. I live in a townhome that features a large, lush, and open neighborhood to walk your dogs in. My home has two floors; the first floor is where your pet will stay. When your pet is in my home, they are treated like members of my family. They will be fed, walked, and enriched on your schedule, and will be allowed to sit on the couch and even sleep in my bed at nights if comfortable. I take great care to ensure that your pet’s stay is comfortable and fun-filled. In my home, I currently have two budgies in a large cage and two betta fish, each in 5-10 gallon tanks. The parrots are allowed to free fly for most of the day, but they will be put away or kept caged when your pets are being boarded. When I am in your home, I cultivate the utmost respect. I try not to disturb or move anything that’s not necessary. I’ll make use of only what’s given to me with regards to caring for your pet, and leave everything else exactly how I found it.

5/5 Stars — Absolute Peace of Mind! We hired Stephanie to take care of our dog Louie and cat Oliver while we traveled across the country to Utah for our daughter’s wedding. Leaving your pets behind for a big event can be stressful, but Stephanie gave us total peace of mind. She went above and beyond her duties—sending daily photo updates and regularly staying longer than the three drop-in visits we booked just to give Louie and Oliver extra love and attention. Knowing our pets were in such compassionate, reliable hands allowed us to fully enjoy our daughter’s special week. We are so grateful for Stephanie and cannot recommend her highly enough!

We’ve used Eva as our dog sitter twice now, and both experiences have been absolutely amazing! Our dog, Kobe, is extremely nervous and terrified of new people, so finding someone we feel comfortable leaving him with can be difficult. From the very beginning, Eva was incredibly patient with him. She never rushed or forced him to interact and instead gave him the time and space he needed to feel comfortable and trust her. Seeing the difference from his first time meeting her to now has been incredible he absolutely loves her! That alone says so much about the kind of person she is and how great she is with animals. It gives us such peace of mind knowing that when Kobe is with Eva, he is with someone who genuinely cares about him, understands his personality, and treats him with patience and love. We are so grateful we found her and would absolutely recommend Eva to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and attentive dog sitter. She will definitely continue to be our go to person for Kobe! ❤️🐾

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Keasbey

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Keasbey is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $29 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 25,659 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Keasbey. 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 Keasbey. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
