“Lucinda cared for my dog while I was away and did an outstanding job. She came into my house twice a day, stayed longer than the required 30 minutes, took him out twice each visit, cleaned up after him, and spent time playing with and showering him with love. She also sent multiple pictures during each visit, which put my mind at ease. I’m forever grateful—highly recommended.”
About: I have 9 years of experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities. I’m a dog owner myself and will treat your pup with the same patience, care, and attention I give my own. I’m available for pet care throughout the week, with the exception of Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays due to my school schedule. I have flexible availability on my available days. I care for pets in their own home where they’re most comfortable. I follow all owner instructions closely and make sure pets are safe, supervised, and given plenty of attention.
“I can’t recommend them enough! They were reliable, professional, and treated my dog like one of their own. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and photos that gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog is always excited to see them. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog walker, this is the one!”
“Kristin is everything you could ever ask for in a pet sitter and a whole lot more! She took care of our pets just like we do, and probably even better. We will be hiring Kristin every time we go away. Cannot recommend her enough.”
“Angel made the process very easy. I’m a first time user fornRover, and Angel was happy to teach me some tips and tricks for using the app. She took pictures of the boys which were absolutely adorable. She came on time as expected and followed the care instructions perfectly.”
“Alexis is the sweetest, most flexible sitter yet. Her personality shines bright and shes juat a joy. BANDIT loved her visits!shes very communicative and goes above and beyond! Definitely will book her again!”
“Booked last minute around the holidays and Chelsea was available and amazing per usual! Our cat Levi loves her and runs up to the door when she arrives. She does a wonderful job feeding him and making sure his space is all good while we are away! I can go on long trips with my mind at ease knowing Chelsea will be around to check on and feed him!”
About: I have over 6 years of experience with dog training and 3 years of professional experience working in a veterinary setting. Throughout my life, I have also owned and cared for animals of my own, giving me a strong understanding of their needs, personalities, and behaviors. I am comfortable providing attentive, reliable, and loving care while ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy. My experience has taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and treating every animal as an individual. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m comfortable making time each day for feeding, walks, playtime, training, cleaning, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. My schedule allows me to be flexible and dependable, so I can prioritize a pet’s individual routine and make sure they receive consistent care while their owners are away. Unfortunately, I’m only able to provide pet care in the client’s home, as I don’t currently have the space to care for pets in my own home. I would also have to bring my personal dog along if I am doing House Sitting. My dog is crate trained so I keep her crated overnight or if I do need to run somewhere. I’m happy to provide attentive, reliable care while maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I can follow instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, bathroom breaks, and any other specific needs. I’ll also make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, while keeping your home clean and secure.
“Lyndsey was awesome! It was obvious that she loves animals and she provided outstanding care for my fur babies, in very short notice. She arrived on time to let them out early in the morning, midday and in the evening before getting them settled for the night. I definitely will use her again and recommend her to anyone needing care for your pets.”
“Tori was excellent with her in house service of visiting Shadow. She was willing to meet before hand to see Shadow and review Shadow’s needs. I received daily updates and photos assuring me that Shadow was being taken care off. I will definitely have Tori watch Shadow in the future.”
About: I have lived with dogs starting at age 13 and been a part of raising 3 dogs in all the time since then. I pay special attention to a dog’s needs, having participated in both puppy training and frequent monitoring and potty breaks/clean up for senior dogs. I go as far as picking a dog up off the ground if no paw slips are available during sweltering conditions! My dog experience has been within the 40-70 pound range, but I can only walk a dog up to 40 pounds (unless the large dog is off-leash trained/VERY focused on their walker and doesn’t pull). Playtime is something I value in providing dogs as a form of both physical exercise and mental enrichment. I provide updates and pictures to both showcase my accountability/standards and give an owner peace of mind while their pets are under my supervision. I follow any instructions and preferences provided by an owner very closely, making sure to review them before service is provided. The trust of an owner and their pet(s) are of utmost importance to me to respect and earn. I am very excited to work with more owners and animals! Thank you for reading! My dog sleeps in my room with me, so I typically wake up early to let her outside to use the bathroom. Then, we socialize with family, and we give her treats throughout the day. She loves chasing a ball in our woodsy backyard, so I make sure to do that with her until she’s panting and thoroughly spent. She eats one bowl a day in the evening with either dried nutritional supplement or leftover dinner from a previous night (she’s spoiled!). Plenty of opportunities to go out to use the bathroom, especially before bedtime. Lots of snuggles. She currently has a lot of my time and attention as I seek full-time work, but I always make sure to let her use the bathroom before I would normally go to work. This kind of intimate care where I spend a great amount of quality time with my dog is how I like to be with pets that are in my care. Frequent check-ins as needed, if not spending a great deal of time together so the pet doesn’t feel lonely in the owner’s absence! Routine is essential for animals, and I try to keep a consistent one with my dog. Routine and consistency will absolutely be kept for any animals in my care. Punctuality and reliability are very important to me— as well as pets!
About: Hello! I've been a pet owner to a 20lb Shih tzu mix for 6 years and I have cared for dogs of all kinds during that time. I have loved dogs, big and small since I was young. I have experience sitting and caring for rowdy dogs, shy dogs, gentle and everything in between. I can go provide long walks or many short walks. I also have toys and treats that will be sure to keep your furry friend pre-occupied and happy. If you need care for cats, dogs, or other animals, I also do in home care and can provide water, food, and fun while you are away. I cater my services to each pet and their personality and I give them the services that best suit their needs! I am currently working from home with a very flexible schedule. I have time to sit and care for pets of all types while maintaining my schedule. I am able to come to each client's home and care for their pet with an individualized regimen. I cater to each pet's needs and strive to provide the highest quality care.
“Johanna is great with my puppy. She plays with him and cuddles him and he's always excited to see her. She even brings in my packages when she sees them outside. I would recommend her.”
“Claire was a fantastic pet sitter!! She sent me lots of photos of my dog, Rosie. I know Rosie was in good hands and I will definitely be using Claire again. Thank you Claire!”
“Kasey was a great and communicative catsitter. She came in for around 10 visits on two different occasions, and each visit sent updates, photos, and videos. We felt relieved to know that our cat was in good hands!”
“Skye did a great job, she was punctual and had great communication. Ginger enjoyed her company. I will be happy to use Skye next time I need help with Ginger, I would definitely recommend.”

Desiré did a huge favor for my husband and I! We needed a dog sitter for our baby boy Kovu last minute and I can’t be more thankful that she was available! Even though it was last minute, she was on time for when Kovu needed to be fed and taken out. She showed him love while we were away and even put calming music for him so he didn’t feel too lonely while we were away. Will definitely hire her again 100%!!
Chelsea has been our go to doggie sitter for the past year or two. Hope absolutely loves her and I love her thorough messages. Recently I had to book a different sitter because Chelsea was traveling at the same time as me and let's just say the other sitter wasn't as thorough with her updates.
Daniela & her husband Felipe were incredibly responsive and communicated with me throughout the entire time they cared for my pets. They made sure everyone was safe, were fed, had water, got to go outside to do what they needed to do, they played with them, and loved on them. They were truly attentive to their needss. I'm sure my pets will miss them so much!
Absolutely amazing! She took care of our dogs at such short notice and treated them as if they were here own. She constantly sent us pictures and videos the entire time and we could tell our animals adored her! Will be utilizing her services again if we ever need a sitter.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lawrenceville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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 Lawrenceville 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 .

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 Lawrenceville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
