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.
“Angelica was so attentive to Max, our 13 week Cavapoo. I got lots of photos and video throughout the weekend. He was so happy playing and snuggling with Angelica and didn’t have any accidents on the rugs. I would recommend Angelica without reservation. She left the house tidier than it was before the weekend!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Jim was great! Our dogs are a lot of work. Louis is 16 and Stella (11) has many many allergies. Jim took great care of them. He did medicine, lots of carrying around, and of course cuddling! He kept me informed with what was going on. I felt comfortable having him stay in our house.”
“Luca was WONDERFUL! I have a senior dog with lots of issues and major separation anxiety. I have 2 year old naughty cat. They were both snuggling with Luca! He sent me updates and pictures throughout the night. I was able to have fun and not worry about my furry kids. I highly recommend him. My littles LOVED him. He was professional and courteous but still rolled around and snuggled and I can’t wait to use him again. He’s a 10/10! Thank you Luca!!”
About: I've been with my cat my whole life, have loved and cared for him and have loved and taken care of dogs any chance I've gotten since I was young. I promise that whether its dog sitting or even dog walking, your pets needs and comfort will come first and foremost. I'm free all day and then will be out of the house any time between 5-10 on weekdays and 12-6 on saturdays. But outside of that I'll be free. Also when I'm not home I have a roomate who also has alot of experience in taking care of dogs (as he grew up caring for his own and other dogs as well). I live on the first floor of our apartment, have a courtyard, and 3 doors before the outside. I also live near a park where dogs run freely and play with their owners. I will provide whatever care that the dog needs based on the instructions you give me!
“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!”
“Kamryn was a fantastic sitter- she was so communicative and shared plenty of updates and pictures of our two fluffy babies while we were traveling. I can’t say enough how grateful I am that she stayed with the pets continuously during the day, so that they had someone present the vast majority of the time we were away.”
“I reached out to Skye super last minute for a trip that came up short notice. He was immediately available and able to squeeze Penny into the schedule, taking her on great walks sending me pics and playing with her the whole time i was gone. I was super nervous to leave her because i had never gotten her a pet sitter who wasn't in my immediate family lol so Skye really did great and did everything exceptionally well. Thank you so much!”
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: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve done all the chores that come with them. I’ve had a big dog and a little dog almost my entire life. My big dog is now older, so I have to help him with his arthritis. I’ve had to pick up poop, feed them, walk them, and massage him. I don’t have a job currently, so I’m free for anyone’s convenience! Besides when I have to go to the gym, or when im on vacation. I have a fenced yard and a specific place for them to use the bathroom outside, and also have a pee pee pad inside that I switch out twice a day.
“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.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Little Silver is $60

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!
Nicholas took great care of my two dogs that are in very different stages of life with different needs. He was attentive and communicative and I trusted completely that my dogs were safe and cared for so I could focus on my work and other responsibilities while away. Highly recommend!
Jim was great with our Archie! He took time to get to know him first so everyone was comfortable while we were away, and provided updates during the stay so we knew what was going on the whole time. Will definitely be relying on Jim again for any future dog support.

FAQs for House Sitting - Little Silver
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Little Silver on Rover is $61.05 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 17,155 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Little Silver. 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 Little Silver 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 Little Silver 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 Little Silver 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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
