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: I am a pre-veterinary student. Being with animals is like a second nature to me! I have many years of experience caring for pets, including dogs, cats, reptiles, and fish. I own two dogs of my own and have been pet-sitting for family and friends for over eight years. My experience includes walking, feeding, bathing, administering medication, and providing gentle, loving care. I am very attentive and always keeping an eye out, safety is always my priority. I treat every pet as if they were my own and ensure they are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I can do weekday mornings (before 2pm) and afternoons (after 5pm). I am a student so I have class midday! I am unavailable weekends due to an internship! I find it so important to be communicative with owners and follow exactly what is instructed for pet care. I can ensure that I can provide the level of trust, care and safety you and your pet will need!
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.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, as I grew up with 2 dogs. I have 5+ years of experience in housesitting, walks and playdates. I also have experience with reactive dogs, where I can keep them safe during walks with patience. I currently work in a mostly freelance and remote environment. I am flexible and I communicate well about my schedule for accommodating your fur friends. I treat every pet at home as if it were my own. I make sure to follow instructions precisely and with care. I make sure to double check that fences are closed and doors are locked. Pet safety is a top priority. I have a lot of love for what I do and that shows in my work.
“It's stressful when we have to leave our Misty for a long while. She's a rescue and I always want her to know she is now in her forever home and we will always come back. Now we have Melissa, who is very caring and dependable. For Misty, Melissa is part of her world now, a person in her life that is familiar and secure for her. We are so grateful that we found Melissa!”

About: I’ve always loved dogs and always wanted one growing up. We finally got a dog before I went to college and ever since she has been an integral part of our family. I love taking her on walks around town and we love playing on the beach! I am currently home from college and looking to make some money while spending time with dogs and I am flexible during the week to go for walks throughout the day. I am not a pet sitter but I will make sure your dog gets back home safely after our walks, that their poop is cleaned up, and that they had some good exercise!

“Joyce was absolutely incredible. I needed a last-minute sitter who would be able to administer both oral and ophthalmic medications to my cat, Charlie. She didn’t even hesitate and said she’d be able to do it. She came twice a day and kept me updated with both pictures and texts to let me know Charlie’s improvements while I was away. I knew he was in great, loving hands. I wish I had found her sooner! I will be reaching out to her again when I need a sitter. She’s the best!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I’ve raised my own pup since she was just 8 weeks old. Because of that, I’m really comfortable with routines, structure, and all the day-to-day things that help dogs feel secure. I’m not a professional trainer, but I’ve trained my family’s dogs over the years and I’m always happy to keep up with whatever training plan you already have in place. I’ve also had the incredible experience of fostering multiple dogs, which has deepened my love for animals and taught me how to adapt to different personalities and needs. I love getting dogs outside; beach walks, park trips, or just a good sniff-filled stroll around the block. And if your dog enjoys car rides, I’m completely comfortable driving them where they need to go. At the end of the day, I treat every dog like they’re my own: with patience, structure, and a whole lot of love. I’m currently in nursing school and Im a certified yoga instructor, but caring for my own dog is a built-in part of my day. No matter how busy things get, I make time for her walks, her routine, and her little moments of attention, and I bring that same consistency to any dog I’m watching. I’m a pretty active person by nature, so if I’m not in class or teaching a yoga session, I’m usually out getting some fresh air in some way, and having a dog with me just makes it better! Whether it’s a quick neighborhood stroll or a longer outing, I’m always happy to get a pup out and moving. In my home, dogs have access to a fully fenced yard where they can safely explore, play, and get their energy out. I always keep an eye on them during playtime so everything stays safe and comfortable! I’m totally fine handling feeding routines and using crates if that’s part of what your dog is used to, especially when I step out of the house. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick to whatever routines you already have in place. If your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing indoors, I’ll match that! I focus on making your pet feel secure and at ease in their own space, and I stay attentive to their needs so they have a calm and positive experience while you’re away.

About: I've taken care of various types of pets like birds, cats, and dogs. My experience mainly comes from family and friend requests; however, I am very passionate about taking care of pets and do my best to make sure they are happy! I have a rescue dog who I have trained to not chew on shoes, do some tricks, be gentle when grabbing treats, and to wait when getting food. I'm currently enrolled in an in-person summer class which means that on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, I am only available after 1pm. I also work part-time over the weekends so my schedule varies.

“Samantha was amazing. This was our first time using her and she was great. My boy is being and in need of insulin. He has anxiety when I'm not with him and could be a handful. Samantha didn't give up on him and tried different ways to make him comfortable with taking his shots from her. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing he was in great hands. We will definitely be using her again.”

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Lavallette is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 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.

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.
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 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.
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.

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 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.
