“Kit stayed at our house for 3 nights to watch out two dogs and one cat and we couldn’t be happier with his services. We did a brief meet-and-greet a few days before and I felt very comfortable because Kit has a really kind way about him, which the dogs and cat immediately responded positively to. I knew they would be in great hands! Over the days leading up to and during the pet sitting, Kit was communicative, proactive, reliable, responsive, responsible, and mature. I got lots of great pictures to know they were happy. Kit has a lot of experience taking care of dogs and cats and was comfortable taking on all tasks of feeding, walking, etc., and kept their routine on track. He asked good questions when he was unsure about anything and even dealt calmly with a temporary power outage situation. Kit always had in mind the best interest of our animals and the house and we felt very assured in his capable hands. As a bonus, Kit was very prompt, tidy, and took great care of the house. He even took out the garbage, which was above and beyond and much appreciated! We will definitely reach out to Kit for future pet sitting needs.”
“Kamryn was great! Arya went crazy and was so excited when she arrived. She fed her and kept me updated through the night. Highly recommend and will be booking with her again!!”
“Vanessa, thank you so, so much for taking great care of our pup. This was our first long time away from him and we’re as happy to see him as he is to see us. Thanks for all the great communication along the way.”
“We are so grateful to have found Angelica. She is very professional and compassionate. She went above and beyond while we were away to take the best care of our pup and our house. She was diligent in sending us updates and always making sure we knew Bisci was safe and having fun. We would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter. Thank you Angelica!!!”
“Lindsay was incredible! She is a mature, reliable, smart person who cared for our dog, Blueberry, and our home in the best way imaginable! Lindsay stayed for 12 days and also helped us get to our train to go to the airport and did the same upon our return. Our home was immaculate upon our return! We are so thankful to have found Lindsay and Blueberry concurs!”
“Jim is very responsive, courteous, responsible, and likely most important, truly an animal lover. From the moment of their first meeting, Roscoe & Jim were fast friends… and hopefully will remain friends for a long time!”
“Alessandra was a wonderful house guest and sitter. She looked after both our dogs and home, very clean and both pups loved her. Would highly recommend her for pet sitting, will be rebooking in the near future.”
“Went away for a week. Maximilian puts the effort in to make our pups feel comfortable. He also communicates well and is quick to respond where needed. No complaints here, will book again.”
About: I have been taking care of animals (cats, dogs, fish etc) my entire life. Not only my own but others as well. I pet sit and walk dogs quite frequently in the past. I also take care of my Grandmother and will go over and look after her pup as well. I am well experienced with both puppies and senior dogs. I mostly work on weekends (mornings on Sunday and Saturday Afternoons), aside from going into New York for a couple hours in the week for my job so I have plenty of time to walk and play with your animals! I am a very dedicated and detail oriented person so I can assure that your pets will be treated with the utmost care and respect and so will your home if I need to enter it at any point!
About: I’m on Rover to help you out with any / all your pets needs while you’re away! I work full time as a behaviorist in a public school. I don’t dog train, but I am familiar with any techniques that you may need for your pup! I have 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own. I have experience with all breeds! All mutts and senior pups are welcome. I also have experience administering medication to dogs. All dogs of breeds and age deserve attention and love. I’d love it if you let me love your pets as if they are my own too! Thank you for reading this. I am able to work with the families in terms of what they need. My calendar may not always reflect accurately as my times with my full-time job (human) clients do fluctuate. If it is blocked off it means I am 100% unavailable. I don’t recommend myself in terms of full-on puppy training and 24/7 puppy care due to my schedule but I am versed in the training techniques due to my career. I am available weekends for extra care and staying in your home full time. My pets are well loved and taken care of while I care for others. I will never be able to host in my home, so please consider this! I offer in home care, overnight, daily walks, and check ins. Animals will not be hosted in my home due to a senior dog I have who is on medication. For those reasons, home sitting is only available in terms of long care. I have done walks, trips to stores, parks, yard play, and car trips with fur babies for daily drop ins, walks, or overnight stays!
About: Back on Rover after a two-year hiatus and excited to meet some new furry friends! I've been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life, and as a dog mom myself, I know pets are family. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you complete peace of mind. I work from home, so I have the flexibility to provide personalized care, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. Every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and all the little details that make them unique - from their favorite toy, walking route, and feeding schedule to treat preferences, commands, medications, and any fears or anxieties. The more I know, the better I can make their time with me feel like another normal day. I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and will care for your pet as if they were my own. You'll receive regular updates, lots of photos, and open communication every step of the way. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family member! I work a hybrid schedule and am home most evenings and weekends, giving me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and quality one-on-one time. I always do my best to accommodate your pet's routine and your scheduling needs. Your pet's safety and comfort always come first. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special needs before our visit. Whether your dog enjoys leisurely neighborhood walks or more adventurous hikes and trails, I'll tailor our time together to their age, health, and energy level while always respecting your preferences.
“If you are looking for a trustworthy and exceptional pet sitter, hire Nicole! She stayed at our house for 12 days to look after our dog, and she did an absolutely phenomenal job. Leaving your pet can be stressful, but Nicole constantly updated us with multiple photographs throughout the day, which gave us complete peace of mind about our dog's well-being. Our baby was incredibly safe, happy, and content when we returned. Not only did she provide top-tier care for our dog, but she also left our entire home spotless. Nicole is professional, responsible, and a true gem. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“Donna was a fantastic in-home pet sitter for my dog Sky. Sky is elderly and needed a lot of attention and Donna was very caring. She made sure she received meds and walks right on schedule. She was also very neat and clean in my home. I highly recommend Donna.”
“Courtney was great to communicate with and I felt so comfortable with our dog in her care. She's very warm and our anxious pup took to her immediately. She sent regular updates, including photos, and was flexible when we needed to adjust the timing of the stay. Would absolutely trust her to watch Loki again!”
About: I have experience working as a full-time dogwalker and pet care provider for a local company, Let's Play Ruff, between 2019 and 2022. I'm currently a full-time employee at a daycare, but I'm looking for some side work. I have experience working with dogs and cats of all ages, administering medication, and basic dog training. I have a lot of practice with dog walking, and I am familiar with various handling techniques. I am a full-time employee at a daycare, but have a bit more flexibility due to the summer. My daycare isn't open on weekends, so I am fully available. Experienced pet care provider with trusted experience in childcare, pet care, dog walking, and house-sitting. Recognized for reliability and professionalism, I have maintained a loyal client base through strong relationships and exceptional care. I understand it can be scary to let strangers into your house and care for your pets, but I hope my references, background, and experience will give you confidence in me.

Danielle is the Best! I had to scramble to replace a sitter who dropped out right before I was set to leave for 2 weeks and going forward Danielle will certainly be my first choice to watch my guy Frankie. I have a large (100 Lb.) older dog with some mobility issues and Danielle had no problem with his walks as well as his feeding and medication schedule and made sure to keep him company while I was gone. She also sent regular updates and pictures and was quick to respond to any messages. Cannot recommend enough!
Courtney is the absolute best! When Doug needed some extra care with his medication, she was incredibly communicative, patient, and provided the best possible care for him. Because he was with her, we were able to fully enjoy our trip without worries or concerns. Highly recommend!
Kamryn is the best! She spends time and truly care about our pets - and they love her for it. Additionally, we had a small issue with our home during her sitting and she was patient, helped problem solve and genuinely made it easy to be away. We've already booked her again - and so should you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lincroft on Rover is $48.84 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 16,284 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lincroft. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Lincroft walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Lincroft maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Lincroft 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
