Gillian was a lifesaver for me and my girls as I had to go away for about two weeks. She provided daily updates, pictures, and made sure the girls were well taken care of! I 100% recommend her and will reach out to her again if I need another sitter!

Jennifer took incredible care of my two-year-old cat, and I couldn’t be happier! This was my first time having someone outside of my family pet sit, so I was definitely nervous — but Jennifer instantly put me at ease. I left very specific instructions and shared my worries with her, and she went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. She kept me updated after every visit with detailed reports and plenty of photos, which I truly appreciated. From her updates and the way my little guy looked in the pictures, I could tell he trusted her completely and felt safe and loved in her care. I’m so grateful I chose Jennifer and would book her again and again without hesitation. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and attentive, I highly recommend her!

About: I’ve had cats ever since i was little, ranging from 2 cats all the way to 5 at the moment. I work with dogs ranging from small to large (10-100 lbs) as well as age differences puppy to seniors. I am trained in bathing dogs as that is my current job. I grew up around cats, dogs, reptiles, and small rodents. I knew that animals were my “thing” ever since I was little and I would treat any animal I meet as my own. I work 5 days a week (monday-tuesday, thursday-saturday). I am available Wednesday and Sundays from 8:30am - 6pm. If other days or times are needed please reach out to me, we can always arrange something! Unfortunately I cannot take in any pets as I do have 5 cats of my own and I do live with my parents. I would treat any persons pet the same way I would treat my own.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and genuinely feel they’re meant to be by your side. I have hands-on experience with senior care, helping an older dog walk, carrying him when needed, and keeping him comfortable. Dogs understand emotions and give unconditional support, and I make sure to return that same care, patience, and love to every dog I watch. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work part-time about 25–30 hours a week at a nearby job, which gives me plenty of flexibility. I can consistently provide walks, attention, feeding, and care throughout the day, making sure your dog is never neglected and always looked after In a client’s home, I stick closely to your dog’s routine to keep them comfortable and happy. I handle feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care needed. I’m very respectful of your space, always clean up after myself and the dog, and make sure your home stays in great condition while you’re away.

I have experience with a variety of animals such as cats, dogs, hedgehogs and more. Any opportunity I have to care for more furry friends, I gladly take! I currently am booking drop in visits for dogs 3X a day for pet sitting and regular dog walking. I also offer overnight services at your own home for pet sitting and drop in visits for cats and other furry friends.

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own—lots of love, attention, and a little extra spoiling included. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need patience and consistency with basic training, to senior pets who need a gentler pace and extra care. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic medications, and picking up on each pet’s unique personality and needs. What sets me apart is the level of care and communication I provide. I don’t just “watch” pets—I engage with them, whether that means long walks, playtime, or quiet cuddle time depending on what they enjoy most. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is happy and in good hands. My goal is simple: happy pets, stress-free owners, and a safe, loving environment every time. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine since I care for my own German Shepherd at home. I’m used to staying on a consistent schedule with walks, feeding, playtime, and attention throughout the day, so adding additional pets into my routine feels very natural. Because of this, I’m mindful of each pet’s needs—whether they have lots of energy and need active walks or prefer a calmer, more relaxed pace. I plan my days to make sure every pet gets dedicated time, care, and attention without ever feeling rushed. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, with flexibility for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I always do my best to stick to your pet’s usual routine to keep them happy and comfortable. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for any pet. In my home, I maintain a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment. I also have a German Shepherd, so I’m very experienced with maintaining structure, supervision, and safe interactions. I always take the time to properly introduce pets (when applicable) and make sure everyone feels comfortable and stress-free. For dog walking, I use secure leashes/harnesses and stay aware of our surroundings at all times to keep your dog safe on every walk. I adjust the pace and distance based on your dog’s age, energy level, and needs. During pet sitting and house sitting, I do my best to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions are always followed closely. I respect your home, keep things tidy, and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I also provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident and at ease knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

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’ve had animals all my life! I don’t mind big dogs or cats and I will make sure they are taken very good care of! I am trustworthy and hard working. I’ve served in the military for 8 years as well. Weekday/weekend Early mornings, early evenings, and late nights are best for my schedule. I will make sure to accommodate any special requests or extra time too. I have a cat who is 11 years old and she is afraid of her own shadow. We thought by getting a kitten it would help bring her out of her shell, but it made her very stressed. We had to give the kitten to our best friends to ensure our cat lives a happy stress free life.

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.

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!

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 $25.53 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,544 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.
