“Sonja is terrific! My kitties loved her from the moment she came in. When I got home, my kitties were calm, had full bellies, potties were clean, all was in order. I couldn't be happier with the care Sonja provided, I 100% recommend her.”

About: Whether you have a chaotic 4-month-old golden retriever or a 14-year-old tabby who just wants to nap in a sunbeam, I adapt my energy to meet them exactly where they are. I know how nerve-wracking it is to leave your pets. You’ll receive detailed updates and high-quality photos after every visit so you can see exactly how much fun they’re having. Since I am currently building my dedicated client base, your pet will never be "just another stop" on a long list. They get my undivided attention, energy, and affection. I currently work from home part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available weekdays as well as weekends. We have a fenced area in our yard, and a safe neighborhood for walks. Additionally, we have a dog and two cats to keep your pet company.

About: Avid dog lover. I grew up surrounded by small dogs. I currently have 2 big dogs that love to play but they also do well with my parents small dogs when we visit. Willing to have your dogs come join the party at the house. We have a fence in yard. My husband and I are willing to do what it takes to make your pup more comfortable. Pets are family. Nothing worse than a bad dog sitter. Will send frequent pictures of your pups while you’re away and give them the perfect amount of cuddles, walks, and pets. Currently on maternity leave! I’m a teacher. My schedule is pretty flexible. My husband and I have different schedules so pets won’t be alone too long at our house. They will have plenty of bathroom breaks. I have 2 playful big dogs. They are good with all dogs and we’d love to have your pups come hangout with us! I’m a teacher but I have plenty of time to give your dog the appropriate care they need to feel comfortable during the week and weekend. I have a fence in yard and my pups are playful so they would have fun playing with your pups. We also walk them every evening.

“Jennifer was great with Jasmine. Very kind and gentle and laid back which is Jasmine’s kind of style. When we did a meet and greet Jennifer came compared to learn what she needed to do for the sitting, which put me and my family at ease leaving her alone with someone Jasmine didn’t know. I would definitely hire her again to watch Jasmine. ?”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 8 years and truly treat every animal like my own. I currently have 5 cats, including a senior diabetic cat, so I’m experienced with specialized care, medication routines, and monitoring health needs. I also have a 1-year-old German Shepherd that I’ve raised since 6 weeks old, giving me hands-on experience with training, structure, and high-energy breeds. In addition, I have a background in veterinary science, which has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and safety. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, and providing attentive care for pets of all ages and temperaments. I’m reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented, so you can feel confident your pet is in safe, loving hands. I have a full time management job with a set schedule. I’m available every Thursday, Sunday, and late afternoon/evenings every other day. Loving on my pets and other animals brings a little more joy into my days! I live in a community based neighborhood with a walking trail. I have a medium sized, energetic pup who would love to play and keep your babies company. We go on lots of trails and bike rides.

About: Hi! I’ve been a pet owner my entire life and caring for animals is truly second nature to me. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. I also have medical care experience, so I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring pets closely, and giving extra attention to senior pets or those with special needs. In addition to pet sitting, I’ve spent time fostering and helping with rescue animals, which means I’m patient with shy, anxious, or newly adopted pets and understand how important routine and trust are. When your pet stays with me or I care for them in your home, you can expect: • Lots of love, playtime, and attention • Regular photo and update messages 📸 • Care that follows your pet’s normal routine • A calm, safe, and reliable environment My goal is simple: make your pet feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine since I’ve been a pet owner my entire life. My days are structured around feeding times, walks, playtime, and making sure pets get plenty of attention and companionship. I make it a priority to maintain each pet’s normal routine, whether that means scheduled walks, medication times, or quiet cuddle time. Because I have experience with foster and rescue animals, I’m also used to adjusting my schedule to meet different needs, from energetic pets who love activity to shy pets who need a calmer approach. Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my week, and I always make sure pets in my care receive consistent attention, exercise, and regular updates to their owners so they know their pets are safe and happy. I have a larger, fenced yard for playtime a friendly pup who is always looking for a playmate as well as an old lady who loves nap buddies. I live in a quiet neighborhood that is ideal for walks because it is less traveled.

About: Reliable and caring pet lover with experience walking dogs and providing in-home pet sitting. Skilled in handling dogs of different sizes and temperaments, maintaining feeding schedules, administering basic care, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while owners are away. Strong communication skills, reliable transportation, and flexible availability. I am currently a nanny but I am not full time as of right now. I have a lot of free time to stop by and give your dog love and attention. I have a little 8 pound poodle who lives in my home with a big field for playing. I would just do in house visits and take your dog to the park (or whatever you are comfortable with). My house would not be open for play time with other dogs.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Long Branch

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
