“We loved having Breanna taking care of our cats while we were away She did an excellent job of keeping us updated everyday with reports and pictures of Sam and Freddy. We will definitely call her again. She did a super job....Thank you.”
“Christina did a great job checking in on our two cats! Prior to our booking, she took the time to go over all their needs. She went above and beyond during each visit too, like leaving a few treats out for our shy cat to find after she left.”
About: Hello there! My name is Donia, but you can call me Nia! I have a passion for animal caretaking and rescue and am pursuing a career in dog grooming while fostering and rescuing in my free time. I am currently working part time at a grooming shop in addition to dog walking and other pet sitting. Believe me, as a dog mom having been held responsible for my pets from the young age of 10, I understand how hard it can be to keep up with the hastle. I have taken care of many different types of pets with different levels of neediness from puppies to elders to special needs dogs and even cats, rabbits, and hamsters. I am known as my neighborhood "dog whisperer". I love providing care for animals in need and would love to give a helping hand to anyone in need. I am also dog and cat first aid certified! Thank you for considering me to help you out and thank you for trusting me with your pets! I am currently working part time and am able to request any day off if given advance notice. I can also care for any animals after work by 3pm. I have a fenced in yard with four friendly dogs, a large home that is able to have separated space if needed. In a client's home I treat their house with respect and leave everything cleaner than when I found it. I treat every single pet as if they were my own!
“Kasper is the best! They took extra good care of my 3 kitties and followed all instructions left. They sent me tons of pictures and left detailed notes of each visit. I felt the my kitties were safe and in caring hands with Kasper. I also felt my house was safe and locked up properly each time. I will 100% be reaching out for Kasper’s services again in the future. - I can tell you truly care about animals and that’s very important to me in a petsitter. Thank you again for everything.”
“Another exceptional experience with Megan, Megan is the best pet sitter, she is reliable, professional and cares for our cats like they were own. We enjoy our time away so much more knowing Megan is caring for our cats because we don't have to worry about their well being while in her care. Cannot recommend Megan enough!”
“The best! The boys loved Julianna and warmed up to her right away! She is super experienced with all different dogs from all walks of life! Felt so comfortable with her watching over the boys! Would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a sitter.”
“the absolute best! we have a difficult dog who needed help with feeding, insulin, and a lot of other medications for 2 weeks and she was more than capable of taking care of him (even stayed extra time some days when he wasn’t cooperative). great with communication and always super sweet to our boy. cannot recommend her to enough!”
“I am so thankful and appreciative for the care Mary and Ginny provided to my two cats. This was the first time we needed to find care for them and I couldn’t have been happier with finding Mary and Ginny. They made me feel completely at ease with leaving them behind and I know that they loved them the same way we do. One of our cats needs medicine and it felt like such an inconvenience to ask someone to take on that responsibility, but Ginny and Mary made me feel so much better about the situation and I am so thankful to them for that. Thank you again Ginny and Mary. It meant the world to me to know they were okay while we were gone 💕”
“Joyce was wonderful. Not only was she professional, but she was considerate and kind. She placed value on Max and his needs. In a very short time, she understood Max and cared for him as if he was her own. She was consistent and reliable. I would definitely recommend her and use her services again.”
“We are always so pleased after she has been over to check on Liam! She spends quality time with him and sends pictures of their time together. This is the second time we have had the pleasure of her services and I hope for more in the future! Highly recommend!! 😊❤️👍”
“Sophia saved me from a last minute need for pet care. She is so kind and even without meeting first, I knew she was someone I can trust and someone who put pride in their care for others pets. Thank you so much Sophia”
“Pamela is fantastic! She went above and beyond to make sure my kitty was well taken care of. I highly recommend and will definitely have her sit for me again in the future.”
About: I am 26 years old from New Jersey, I have a bachelors degree criminal justice, a masters degree in forensic studies. Over my lifetime I’ve had five dogs I’ve had. Two golden retrievers, a black Labbe, German Shepherd and now I have a rescue golden retriever mix. My love for dogs undeniable and I love spending time with them and being able to care for them and exercise and enjoy quality time outside is something that I take seriously. I’ve had dogs from puppy stage to senior stage and will always treat all animals the same and like they are my own. I currently work 8 AM to 4 PM. I usually leave my house around 6:30 in the morning and return home by five with potential of going to the gym.. I am able to take care of dogs before I go to work and after I go to work and on the weekends. I treat all dogs like they’re my own as far as taking care of them. I take my dog myself on several walks a day feed them two times a day as far as roaming the apartment and or my parents house they have the opportunity to do both.
About: I’m so excited to meet your fur baby! I am an avid dog lover and would love to treat your baby like I treat my own. ❤️🐶 I can always figure out a way to help with whatever you need. I work 8-4pm during the week at school and am off during the weekends. I can drop by to help out, dog sit over night at your house, or bring your dog to my house for a puppy sleepover (as long as they’re good with other dogs!) With me you can bet on A+ care!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Lakehurst on Rover is $17.12 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 3,451 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lakehurst. 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 Lakehurst 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.
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 Lakehurst. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 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.
