About: As a pet parent to three cats with cerebellar hypoplasia and one very energetic German Shorthaired Pointer, I understand firsthand how unique every animal’s needs can be. I spent over 10 years working part‑time as a large‑animal vet tech while balancing a corporate career, giving me extensive experience with pets of all temperaments, medical backgrounds, and special needs. I now work primarily from home, which allows me the flexibility and time to care for your pets with the same attention, patience, and love I give my own. I also owned 2 certified therapy dogs who were certified. Volunteering with Pets and helping to brighten people's day with a pet visit is important to me. I am currently working on certification for my cat Tango Mango Flip Flop. I also am a member of a pet transport group that pulls animals from high kill shelters and transports them to no kill situations. I am both a driver and a feline overnighter. I am a sponsor of 2 cats at Tabby's Place in Ringoes NJ. I also work remote most weekdays - so I have flexibility between conference calls during the day as well as availability for early morning/after work hours visits. I have owned cats for over 40 yrs and high energy German Shorthaired Pointers for 30 yrs. I like to know the temperment of a pet if taking them on a walk to ensure their comfort and safety. Do they get startled by cars or bicycles - best to avoid areas with lots of commotion. If playing in a client's yard - are there garden areas we need to ensure don't get trampled? If a dog is crated during the day, does the owner want their collar on or off when in the crate. Pet sitting is a combination of care of the pet and care of the pet's surroundings.

About: I have been taking care of dogs my whole life and helping friends and family with their dogs for years as well. I would love to help you out with your furry friends when life gets busy. I work full time but get out at 11am every day and have the rest of the day/afternoon open to drop in or visit. Wednesdays I am off so have morning available that day as well. I can crate your dog if needed, I can keep them on a leash to go out if they are a bit of an escape artist, and along with loving on them will keep my eyes on them for our entire visit.

About: Multiple years of pet care experience. Specializing with patience in nervous/ anxious dogs but I care for all! I am a loving dog mom that obsessed with my fur baby & will treat yours as my own! I currently work a full time job but I work from home two days a week which gives me more time to watch your pet! I am available weekends & during the week can do early morning, evening, & night time drop ins/ walks. **Please be advised that I work a full time job & am in office 2.5 days a week, this can mean that some days I will not be able to spend the entire day with your pup, please message me with any questions so that we can work something out** I care for your pet in your house as you would! If you'd like, I'll crate your pet upon departure or make sure they are comfortable roaming while you are gone. I provide care in your home so that your pet is comfortable while you’re away. When walking dogs I will make sure all of the accessories you use are used, as well as any other safety precautions I think may be necessary so your fur baby stays close to me & makes it home safely (collar, leash, harness, treats, etc). I promise to make sure to give them a lot of belly rubs, play with them, & let them drool all over me! As a mom of a rescue dog, I understand the patience and gentleness certain dogs need when anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed. If your dog falls under this category and has any special needs to be comfortable please let me know ahead of time.

“Kasper is always the best! They go above and beyond for our kitties in every way: staying extra if they feel they need it, cleaning up barf (ugh). Also, watering my plants, and checking on my tortoise lol. I also always feel my house is safe and locked up while away. I could not recommend Kasper any more highly.”

About: Hey There! My name is Ashley and I am a pet enthusiast. I’ve had 20+ years of being around all types of dogs and cats and they are just the best! Why not let them get a little a little R&R while you get a little too! I personally have two dogs of my own that I love dearly. I have a lot of experience with clients who have large quantities of pets. So if you have more than one animal that needs to be taken care of that is absolutely okay! I think I will be the best fit for your animal sitting needs because who wouldn’t want someone so passionate about animals taking care of their very own pet? Look forward to hearing from you soon! I currently work full time early morning shift at the hospital. I get out early just in time for mid day to later evening sittings. I am available anytime during the weekend. I have a fenced in yard big enough for all the days play they will need! A lot of running around and fetch happen here so they don’t want to miss out!

About: I have had numerous pets over the years that include dogs of many sizes and breeds. I have raised puppies and seen my share of canine companions through to the Rainbow Bridge. I have experience with numerous medical issues and giving medications. To be clear, I do not have any professional Veterinary experience from a providers perspective, but am able to provide basic medication dispensing with your instructions. I love to go for long walks and experience the joy that our furry friends get with lots of sniffs along the way. My husband is also available daily to help with care if for any reason I need to run out for an errand. My husband is also a caregiver on Rover if you would like to check out his page. His name is James Blankenhorn. I am a former Dental Hygienist that has been retired for just under 1 year. We lost our precious Malti Poo 2 years ago and I miss having a dog to care for. My husband is also retired, so we are both at home most days. My husband is also a Rover member that can help care for your dog when needed if I am unavailable, If you would like to check out his profile on Rover, his name is James Blankenhorn. We have had numerous dogs over the years that range from small to large. Our home is in a gated development and none of the yards are fenced in, so walks on a leash would be required. Each of us are also available to walk your canine companion in their own neighborhood if preferred. As noted above, I do not have a fenced in yard, but I am happy to walk your canine companion in my neighborhood or yours. I am happy to dispense medications if needed and happy to take your special pet to a Vet appointment if needed.

About: I am a super big animal lover!! I have had cats and dogs my whole life and I couldn’t imagine life without them. I’ve raised two of my dogs from puppies and love to teach them tricks and commands. I love to take them to the beach or the park, it’s my favorite part of the day. I work from home and have plenty of time to take care of your pet!! I love to go on walks, runs, or take your pup to the beach! I love to be active so any activity that permits dogs I WILL be taking them !!! If I am laying around my house, my dogs are on my lap and we’re hanging out together. I have a puppy and we’re attached at the hip. I love doing things with my pets and tend to not let them out of my sight for long periods of time.

About: I’ve grown up with my own dogs to take care of as well as helping friends with their pets. If someone was to take care of my dog, I’d want them to be loving, responsible, and friendly and that’s exactly how I’d be with your pup! I’m here to help you out, so you just have to let me know when :) I work full time 8-4, Monday to Friday. Any time after my work hours I can help. And I can do any day or time on the weekends if I’m available. If you have a fence, I’m triple checking that it’s locked before we play outside. And making sure their bed is as comfy as mine is only fair!

About: Passionate about caring for our fuzzy friends! I have a dog and two cats of my own and I prioritize play time, regular walks and on-time feedings, and litter box changes everyday. I’m currently working part time. I’m available for day care and check-ins every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday as well as after work (1 pm) on Wednesdays and weekends. For overnight care, I’m available on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights. I’m very cautious when walking dogs or entering/exiting homes to ensure no pet gets loose. Being the calm person that I am, it’s easy for me to gain the trust of and build relationships with even the shyest of pets.

Jennifer was a pleasure to work with. She is extremely quick with communication. She promptly came for a first meet and greet before our trip. We have 2 cats and a dog that absolutely loved Jennifer's visits. She even lent a hand on leaving out candy for trick or treaters! I highly recommend booking with Jennifer who is fully capable and trustworthy with your animals.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Lanoka Harbor

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lanoka Harbor is $25 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $28 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 1,611 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lanoka Harbor. 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 Lanoka Harbor. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.

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.
