“So amazing! Very accommodating and attentive and willing to keep in touch with you. I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs, knowing they would be well taken care of.”
“Mariana is amazing! She was available at a moment's notice and she was so great with my pup! She is bubbly and friendly and extremely responsible and reliable! I will definitely use her again!!”
“Frances did a fantastic job of caring for our cats while we were on vacation. With 3 Rescues inside and 2 TNR's outside, it's not easy to find someone to take that on. Everything went great and she kept us informed with texts & pics after each visit. She made our vacation so much more enjoyable.”
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.

“Jim took great care of our kitty! Even though she is super shy and wouldn’t say hello to him, he kept us updated on how much food she was eating and her bathroom habits! Was able to have a stress free vacation knowing she was in good hands!”
About: I worked at an animal shelter for a year and a half where I took care of the cats and dogs there, I also worked at a dog groomer that had a daycare. I worked with many dogs of different ages and personalities. I also took care of a family members dog who was blind and needed daily eye drops.

“Micaela was FANTASTIC!! Not only did she always reply quickly, she was very accommodating. She sent us multiple photos everyday and made a great connection with our cat. Would recommend her to anyone!”
“Christen was flexible/accommodating when the timing of our plans changes slightly. She was communicative with updates during her visits and our dog was clearly well taken care of and enjoyed her time with Christen. She was completely calm/at ease when we returned home. We'd definitely have Christen back to look after Claire again.”
“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 🙂
About: Hi, there! I’m Dani. l work full-time on a hybrid schedule (some remote days each week), but would love to help you take care of your fur babies in my spare time and when I’m working remotely. I have several years of experience petsitting and dog walking through family, friends, neighbors, and Rover. I am available for boarding, check-ins, and walks! Please refer to my Rover calendar for my booking availability. My daily routine nonetheless consists of pet care since I have pets of my own, so I am very familiar and comfortable with caring for animals around the clock 🫶🏼 You can rest assured that I will treat your pets and your home just as I would want mine to be treated. I’ll give lots of love and attention to your fur babies and be sure to send you plenty of cute photos!
About: Hi! I’m Abbey — a lifelong animal lover who grew up with three dogs of my own. I’ve also helped several families, neighbors, and friends with walks, feedings, and check-ins. I’m reliable, caring, and always make sure pets feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I’m available on weekends and during mornings and evenings throughout the week. Whether it’s a quick walk, feeding, or drop-in visit, I’m happy to make sure your pets get the care and attention they need. When caring for pets in their own home, I always follow the owner’s instructions and routines to keep things consistent and comfortable. I make sure pets get fresh water, food, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I treat every home with respect and every pet like my own.
About: I worked at petsmart as a doggie daycare attendant, pretty much just making sure all the dogs were having a good time and that no one got into any trouble; and of course giving them loads of love because I can’t help myself. I also worked with the cats that were being boarded which was awesome. I’m now a full time dog walker / pet sitter which is the best thing in the world. I make it my duty to make sure all the fur babies get just as much love as if they were with their parents. I have a pretty open schedule, so I can make room for your fur babies whenever you need me. I know how important it is that they get the attention and love they deserve, so I’ll be sure to be there as much as I’m able to for them the way I’d be there for my own. I have one dog whom I absolutely adore with my entire heart, and 9 adorable cats who I love tremendously. They’re the lights of my life; my hearts outside of my chest. They’re not my pets and I’m not their owner; they’re my best friends bundled up into cute little furry packages. I can assure you that yours would be that to me as well, and would have the utmost care with me as their caregiver, because I’d treat them as my own I can’t think of a better way to spend my time other than being with one of my little fur buddies , and anytime I get to be out on a walk with one of my guys it’s sure to be a great day I’m always keeping an eye out for anything someone may need or anything that needs to be done to assure everyone has some peace of mind
About: I had taken care of my dog for around 16 years, until she passed in December 2025. I miss her dearly and would love to pour my love for dogs into your loving pet🥰 I have a pretty flexible work schedule as long as I know ahead of time, as I drive around frequently for work! I typically work M-F from ~8 to 4 depending on the day; some times starting later in the day or ending earlier in the day. I am willing to work with your schedule! I will love your animal as if it were my own. I am really excited to take on this task! I have always been mature for my age, and the “mom” of any group I happen to be in. I am known as the dependable friend and very trustworthy with all my relationships.
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.
“Carly was a blessing to have while we were away. We have two senior kitties who both require medication and she was able to administer it all. Super communicative and personable. Highly recommend and will use again.”

Sabrina was amazing!! She took such great care of my fur babies! She was very responsive, sent photos during each visit, and gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. I really appreciated how sweet and attentive she was with them. I’ll definitely be booking her again!
Maximillian kept us up to date on both our cat and dog throughout his visits with them. We felt very comfortable leaving them with him as we travelled across the world! He will be with them again later this month and we are very happy about it. Highly recommend!!
Jon was fantastic with my two cats, spending even more time with them than agreed upon. Over several visits on a long weekend, he gave them excellent care and lots of play. The sociable one fell for him immediately, and even my nervous girl warmed up over a short time. He’s got great energy and a clear love of animals. Book him today!
Daniela was reliable, communicative, and kind. She provided our 3 cats with consistency and entertainment while we were away! and got even our most skittish cat to feel comfortable and look forward to her visits. Thank you so much - would book again without hesitation!
Heather was GREATTTT with my dog. She checked in consistently and responded quickly with no issues. I had no worries about my doggy at all I knew she was in great hands. She paid attention to her very well and updated us through the day. Book her and you’ll see!! 😊

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.

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.
