About: I have taken care of cats and dogs for the majority of my life including the 3 family Labrador Retrievers I grew up with, extended family's cats and dogs, and neighbors' pets ranging from puppies and kittens to older pets. I am also the type of gal to point out every dog I see walks or road trips and a good time to me at a house party is playing with the dog! Let me know what kind of play and care your pet deserves and I would love to watch over your baby while you are away! I am currently looking for work in education or childcare and figured I could help out my community through pet care while I continue my search! I have the time and energy to care and play with your pet with the love and attention they deserve! I also have the added bonus of a flexible schedule that can meet your pet care needs! I can help support your pets' needs in a variety of ways including outdoor walking and exercise, indoor play (depending on space and personal preferences), feeding, brush and coat care, and will do my best to accommodate any additional pet needs!
About: I've been taking care of my rescue dog Elliot for over 6 years now. Recently, I've started volunteering at the local humane society, helping socialize the animals and allowing them to become more comfortable around humans to prepare for adoption. I recently moved back to New Jersey to help out my parents with some medical issues, so I am currently available to look after your pets full-time! I always like to be as slow and gentle as possible to let the pets get comfortable approaching me first. My dog was very anxious when I first adopted home at the rescue, so I understand the importance of letting your pet feel comfortable and keeping them from being overwhelmed.

“Naomi was the perfect sitter for our big boy, Duce. He is a 135lb. Great Dane and can be a little crazy when playing, but she handled him like a champ and accommodated his needs very well. Naomi's daily updates with pictures and videos gave us peace of mind knowing he was happy and going about his day comfortably at home. Naomi was super responsive to our initial inquiries and check ins and we felt confident that Duce was in very good hands. We will definitely use her again!”

“Jessika was great! She communicated a lot, sent pictures, looked after my home and treated my family just like they were her own! She was also attentive and super helpful, asking if there was anything she could help with around the house awhile I was away. If I could give her 10 stars I would ☺️”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Longport
I can't say enough wonderful things about Deborah! She came to our home on very short notice and was absolutely incredible with my sweet Stevie. It's not always easy trusting someone new with your fur baby, but Deborah immediately put me at ease with her warmth, kindness, and genuine love for animals. Stevie means the world to me, and knowing she was in such wonderful, loving hands gave me tremendous peace of mind. Deborah truly went above and beyond, and I'm so grateful she was there when we needed her. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to book with her again. An absolute gem of a human being, and I highly, highly recommend her! ❤️

Caitlen was amazing! She watched our 8 month puppy and a friend’s senior dog 2 days in a row. Our puppy has separation issues but Caitlen’s calming presence lessened her anxiety. She checked in with us a few times and sent pictures. I highly recommend Caitlen and would definitely use her again. Thanks Caitlen!

The average cost of House Sitting in Longport is $67 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $134 per night. 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 278 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Longport. 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 Longport 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 Longport 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 Longport 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 , 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 .
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 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.
