“Great experience. Our dogs are not the easiest to handle and max did an amazing job. This was one of the longest trips we have been on away from our pups, and they were in great hands. Would book again!”

“Erin was super sweet and communicative! I’ve only used Rover once before but my previous sitter wasn’t available, so I always get a little nervous with someone new. But Erin was lovely, even though Stevie decided to be a little shy. Absolutely recommend and will use her services again.”

About: I have worked at a doggy daycare since September now. I have had pets my entire life. I currently have a mixed dog and I’ve had a chocolate lab and a Lhasa Apso in the past. I am a huge animal lover! I work part-time at a doggy daycare, boarding, and grooming facility, and I recently graduated Monmouth University and am currently at Monmouth to study to be a speech-language pathologist. I wanted to spend even more time with dogs, to help the feeling of missing my own! I am always free and will make time to give your pets all the hugs and love they deserve! I would treat your dog the same I would treat my own. I would love and care for your dog because I would want someone to do the same for mine.

“Wonderful Experience with Kristin! ~* We recently had the pleasure of having Kristin care for our two fur children (Mimi and Luci) while we were away, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! From our initial meeting, Kristin showed genuine interest and care for our kitties~* Throughout our time away, Kristin provided daily photo updates and descriptions of how our cats were doing. This was incredibly reassuring and allowed us to enjoy our trip knowing our fur bebes were in good hands. Not only did Kristin handle the basics of feeding and litter box maintenance flawlessly, but she also took the time to play and interact with our cats, which we (and they) appreciated immensely. It was evident that she genuinely loves animals and knew how to make our kitties feel comfortable and loved. In addition to the excellent care of our cats, Kristin also took care of our home beautifully. Everything was in perfect order upon our return, which was an added bonus after a long drive home. Overall, we cannot recommend Kristin highly enough. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and obvious love for animals make her an exceptional choice for anyone in need of pet care. We will definitely be calling on her again for all our future pet sitting needs! Thank you again, Kristin! ~* Love, Jessie, Russell <3 Mimi & Luci”

About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages since I was very young and am a huge animal lover! I am a nurse who works 3 days a week so I have frequent free time. I do have a 1 year old female golden retriever who is pet friendly. I am a pediatric nurse who works 2-3 days a week and love animals, so I am looking to get back into pet walking and sitting on the side. My schedule is flexible. I enjoy going on walks, especially with a dog by my side. Because I have fostered several dogs, I am comfortable meeting a new dog and getting to know them through walking or playing in your backyard. I am also comfortable with all sizes as I have had both small dogs and XL.

“I had the pleasure of having Tania watch my dog and cat over the weekend, and i couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment I met her it was clear that our pets were in good hands. Tania was incredibly punctual, and, most importantly, showed genuine affection and care for both of my furry family members. Throughout the weekend, I received regular updates and adorable photos, which reassured us that my pets were happy and well-cared for. Our dog can be quite rambunctious , but he took to Tania’s calm and friendly demeanor. She took the time to understand each pet's personality and needs, ensuring they were comfortable and content. When I returned home, my dog and cat were relaxed, well-exercised, and clearly had a wonderful time. It's evident that Tania is passionate about animals and takes her job seriously. I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional care provided and would highly recommend Tania to anyone in need of a reliable and loving pet sitter. We look forward to booking her again in the future! Thank you, for taking such excellent care of our pets!”

About: Hello 😁 I have experience with dogs of all sizes but have an extra space in my heart for larger breeds. I grew up with 4 cats, so I’m no stranger to them either! All animals in my care receive “I love you’s” when I leave, and are talked to throughout the day. I truly treat them like I would my own. If I get the privilege of an overnight sit, you will always come back to a clean home, guaranteed ✨ I work from home, so I’m always available for longer sits as well as shorter visits and walks. Weekdays and weekends are great, I just like to plan ahead as much as possible. I make sure to honor specific and detailed instructions so that I can provide the same level as care as you do! I want your babies to feel like you never left. I’ll never fill your shoes, but I will surely try 🙂

“Anahi is a wonderful person and sitter! She is friendly, kind, and a great communicator. I was very nervous as it was my first time using the site to find a sitter, but I made the right choice booking Anahi. I was not expecting my shy cat to interact with her right away, but from the first visit, she was sharing pictures of them playing together, and him seeking her out for affection as she walked in on the second visit. I do believe animals are a great judge of character and I will be booking her for my next trip. Highly recommend.”

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.

About: Hello! Thank you for checking out my profile! Since I was a child, I’ve taken care of dogs of every kinds, cats, turtles, fish, rabbits, hamsters, and chickens. I’m open to taking care of a snake but I might need a minute to get comfortable! I grew up with a sweet, special needs bichon frise and cocker spaniel. In 2016, I started house sitting and walking dogs for clients, neighbors, friends, and family. I have experience with all dogs- young, old, and special needs. I have given medication to cats and dogs for medical conditions and separation anxiety, in addition to providing extra love and care. I love animals and would be glad to help you have a wonderful vacation knowing your pets are well cared for! If you have any questions, feel free to be in touch. I’m available for dog walks, pet drop-ins, and housesitting in the pet parent’s home on weekdays and weekends. I taught special education for the last ten years but will not be returning this year, so my availability has opened up. A little more about my background: I earned a Bachelor of Science in Community Health Education with a concentration in Health Promotion and Culture and a Master of Education in Special Education. Before changing careers to teaching, I worked with veterans and at a free health clinic as the Community Health Education Coordinator. I can provide house sitting in your home and take care of your pet’s individual needs. At this time, I cannot board pets in mine. Unfortunately, my landlord won’t allow pets.

About: I grew up in a house full of dogs, so caring for them has always been a huge part of my life. Because of that, I’m very comfortable with all types of personalities and energy levels, and I truly love spending time with them. I am very active - I run long distance and go for a lot of long walks. I work full-time during the week but am available before/after work and on weekends. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every dog like my own—making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for on every walk I work full-time 8-5 during the week but am available before/after work for visits/walks. I am also available on the weekends! I do my best to keep your pet’s routine exactly the same so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I’ll follow all feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific instructions you provide. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and I always keep your home clean and secure. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Long Branch

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Long Branch is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $33 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.

As of October 2026, there are 23,603 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Long Branch. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Long Branch. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
