About: I’ve been pet sitting for about five years for neighbors, family friends, and people in my hometown. I grew up with dogs and currently have my own, so I’m very comfortable around animals and used to being responsible for them daily. I’ve cared for dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. I’m used to longer walks for high-energy dogs, sticking to specific feeding schedules, crate routines, and helping pets that might be anxious when their owners are away. I pay attention to instructions and try to keep their routine as normal as possible. I’m also very communicative. I send updates and photos because I know it makes a difference when you’re away from your pet. I take commitments seriously and try to make things easy and stress-free for owners. ’m a full-time college student, but I plan my schedule carefully and build pet care around my classes. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, and I’m always clear about my availability ahead of time. If I commit to a booking, I make sure I can fully follow through. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with respect and follow all care instructions closely. I double-check doors, leashes, and gates and make sure pets are secure before leaving. My goal is to keep everything consistent and safe so both you and your pet feel comfortable.

About: I have worked with dogs and cats in General practice vet clinics and ER vet clinics for over three years. I also have experience volunteering at animal shelters and dog sitting/cat sitting. My schedule is very flexible and I am available most days and times for your pet! I am even able to care for pets on weekends, early mornings and evenings. I have a fenced in yard and no animals in the house. My own pets were crate trained and I am capable of keeping up with feeding schedules, walking schedules, and any medical needs your pet may have such as providing medication.

About: We have two dogs and love to play and walk them on the beach. They get plenty of treats and attention too. I pay attention to their care and needs. Our dogs are king of the castle! They also love the dog park where they can meet all the dogs and run free. They get walks multiple times a day and love car rides too. Our dogs love the couch and bed we spoil them for sure. I have always had dogs and I couldn’t imagine not having one in my life. They always give so much love just when you need it! I love just playing with them and seeing them play with each other what personalities they have. It’s so much fun to be a dog owner!

About: I've grown up with and have been surrounding by dogs my whole life. I have fostered 50+ dogs through a local animal shelter to save them from threatening situations. I have been a veterinary assistant for 4 years and have worked at three different animal hospitals! I am an active and continuous volunteer at two different animal shelters. I am currently an undergraduate student on the pre-veterinary track. I have recently started pet sitting/ walking to get more time with animals! I am an animal care intern working part time so my hours change weekly but am pretty flexible. I am available most weekends for walkings and visits and most weekdays for dog sittings. I try to make the pets as comfortable as possible, especially if they are in an unfamiliar environment or meeting me for the first time. I love animals and just want to give them all the love in the world, but understand that they have boundaries the same way people do. I am also very comfortable handing medical treatments/ pill upkeep if the animal needs.

About: What sets me apart is my reliable, loving care that puts pets first. I’m experienced with giving medications, following each pet’s unique routine, and making sure they get plenty of outdoor time and attention. I treat every animal like family—with patience, consistency, and genuine affection. I’m currently self employed so I make my own schedule. Monday, Wednesday, and sometimes weekends work best right now. I can work around days as well. I can easily follow whatever instructions are left for me. My home is fenced in and has gates so your pet getting out wouldn’t be a problem.

About: Whether it’s pet sitting or dog walking or simply giving an animal some company, I’m your gal. I’ve spent my whole life taking care of countless types of pets: dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, snakes, frogs, and hermit crabs (all personally owned by me & my family) ! I’ve dog sat and walked for friends abroad and in America, up to three medium dogs at a time. Most of my experience is with medium to small dogs (around 30 lbs) and puppies under a year old. I’ve had to give dogs medication (pill form) before as well. I genuinely love playing with and caring for dogs. I once watched my friends dog for a week and I walked him so often ( he always wanted to go and I was on summer break) that his owner noticed he was slimmer and more energetic when they came home! I’ll take them to the beach, the reservoir, the park! Wherever! I am also more than glad to take adorable pictures to send to you if you’d like :) I own 2 very different cats, so I understand how those little personalities can vary! From friendly to fearsome, I can provide food and companionship to all. I am currently working remote part time so I can provide frequent visits and walks. I prefer 3-4 stop ins per day, so I can still give my own cats their love too. Full time care (24 hours in home) is an option I can provide, but please note that costs may differ from what is initially displayed on the booking. I work part time remote so I can provide several visits! I prefer 3-4 visits during the day time. Full time (24 hour) care can be provided, please note the cost may differ from the initial booking quote. Safety and trust are incredibly important when caring for animals. I always start by asking you what needs your pet has - are they afraid of thunderstorms? Do they need a snack after dinner? Are they too old to go down the stairs anymore? What can I do to best care for your pet. Whether I am just taking them on a walk or staying for the week, I make sure to send pictures and updated on your pets experience with me! I want you, and your pet, to know I’ve got them covered!

About: Lifelong cat expert and passionate dog sitter! Even though I’ve grown up, watched, and cared for cats since I was born, I have then transferred this experience to the pups around me. Whether in my family or in my close circle of friends, I extend my compassion and care to all animals In the morning when I’m up for work I feed my cats. When I have free time before I leave I play with them, and of course when I come home I give them a warm greeting. They are fed again at night and I make sure to give them all the snuggles, love, and playtime inbetween it all. My cats are STRICTLY indoor cats and do not leave the house. They are trained to run away when the door opens but Luna sometimes gets curious about outside

About: My name is Christine and I have a friendly family of four! Our family loves to love up animals! I will take exceptional care of your babies while you're away. We live in a four bedroom colonial home with a fenced in backyard. We live mins away from Cattus Island park and trails that we frequent everyday! If you need someone to come to your house and take care of the animals I am definitely up for the task. I will treat your home and your babies like mine so you can rest assured. Dog walking is our specialty we love the outdoors and fresh air. Our home is friendly, smoke free, covid free, and clean. I look forward to walking and playing with them! I am flexible! I am willing to work with whatever you have going on and if I cannot accommodate I make sure to tell you upfront! I have a fenced in backyard. I can block off front door as an added level of security to ensure no running. I have a "dogroom" that the beds and play items can go so if your pup wants a break from the house they have their own space. Otherwise they're welcome to roam free!

About: I love all animals! I am very patient and engaging with dogs and cats. I believe our pets are part of the family and I just want to make your loved one feel special and happy during the time that you are away. I cared for my beagle for a long time he has since gone to the large rainbow in the sky. I frequently dog sit and cat sit for my friends and family. I specialize in giving medication to cats and dogs. I have experience with small dogs, large dogs, picky eaters and older dogs and cats as well. Safety is priority when it comes down to it. I would not do anything that will harm or make your pet feel uncomfortable. I would love to take care of your furry friend and make them feel right at home! I am on my going back to school journey. I am currently a student at OCC and I attended classes once a week to allow myself to work part time as a house cleaner,a care taker and of course here on Rover. I am going to school to become a nurse. Only 2 more classes until nursing school! I'm pretty flexible let me know what time works best to me and we can figure it out! I have a large backyard and a friendly adult cat he gets along well with other dogs after a meetup up. He loves people as well.

About: I am a work from home dog mom and love my German Shorthaired Pointer, Remi. We go to the beach, park and go on neighborhood walks every day. I have the availability and capacity to have another dog to tag along. I have fostered dogs in the past and love helping a dog have a safe and comfortable place to stay! I work from home and take my dog for a walk every few hours or bring her to the beach or the park on my lunch break. Dogs have plenty of toys and comfortable places to relax and play while I work. Remi would love to keep your pup company! I have the room to have your dog set up however they need. If your pup is crate trained, I have a spare one to set up for them with all the comfy things needed to put in it. I have lots of treats and toys for pups to play with and a safe, dog-friendly neighborhood to walk them in.

My cat is my world and I’ve never left him for longer than a week until recently. I felt so at ease knowing he was in excellent hands. Gabby has been his sitter for a few months now and I can always tell how much he enjoys his time with her! Always delighted to know he’s still getting love while I’m gone.

About: I have had dogs my whole life and always have been around dogs. I started off with watching friends pets when they traveled. Then our family dog recently passed away and thought this would be a great idea to have dogs around again . I currently work part time from home and work 2 nights a week for 3 hours , and my husband is home during that time. I have a very large fenced in yard to keep your pets safe. They can be crated if wanted and have a room downstairs by my back door for them to be safe in too. My kids love helping take care of the pets and it makes it a fun loving environment for your animals!

About: I've taken care of mutiple dogs with different disabilities to dogs with high energy and needs lots of play time. Depending on the age and activity it can handle depends my routine with them. If its a puppy, I will make sure to follow the guidelines set and to practice its skill to not collect bad habits. I am currently a leasing agent. My time spent with any pet will be the same. I will designate my days off to this app to help fellow neighbors Each situation is different depending on housing if it has a fence or how the dog is with people and other dogs. My main concern is being there if the dog needs to go to the bathroom or its daily walks. Then when its an over night visit. I make sure the dog knows its safe until the owner is home. If it were to come to my home I would ensure it is comfortable with the enviornment and bring toys and treats to help the dog settle in.

About: My passion in life is spending time with dogs! Whether it’s swimming, hiking, or a simple stroll, I’m an active and caring pet owner who truly enjoys taking care of furry friends. For social pups, my dog Theo—who is fully up to date on vaccinations—would love to join for a play session.

With the season in full swing, let me take care of your dog so you can enjoy peace of mind, knowing they’re in loving hands! Caring for pets is a natural part of my daily routine! As an active dog owner, I incorporate walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures into my schedule.

I can’t recommend Taylor highly enough! She took wonderful care of my dog, cat, and even my hermit crabs while I was away. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. She kept me updated with regular messages and adorable photos, which really put my mind at ease. All of my pets were clearly happy, comfortable, and well looked after. It’s not easy finding someone you can fully trust with your animals, but Taylor is truly one of a kind. I’ll be booking her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Lavallette on Rover is $23.31 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 1,618 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Lavallette. 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 Lavallette 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 Lavallette 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 Lavallette 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 Lavallette. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.
