“Elizabeth is the absolute best. She took such good care of my two dogs. I appreciated all the updates throughout her time with them. We will definitely have her take care of the pups again!”
“Samantha was absolutely fantastic with our dogs, Lila and Cash. From the moment we met her, we felt comfortable leaving them with her. She’s reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. Lila can be particular and Cash is still a puppy with plenty of energy, but she handled both of them so well. We came home to two happy dogs and had total peace of mind while we were away. We wouldn't hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog sitter 💕”
“We were in desperate need of someone we could trust to watch our anxious rescue pup, Piper, during our wedding weekend. Lana was extremely patient with both Piper, and my husband and I, even agreeing to meet us several times before the stay to get us all comfortable. She sent numerous pictures and updates, which calmed our nerves so we could fully enjoy our wedding. Thank you Lana for taking great care of Piper, we will definitely be contacting her again if we ever need someone to dog sit Piper in the future.”
“Krystie took wonderful care of our pup while we were gone for week! We’ve never had a house sitter for our dog and were a little reluctant at first. She sent daily updates, photos and videos daily so our nerves were eased by the end of day one. I wholeheartedly recommend Krystie & know both the people and pup in our house look forward to having Krystie back again!”
“Annett is wonderful and I’d recommend her to anyone! She stayed with our two sphynx cats for 10 days while we were in Europe. She took the time to really bond with them and we felt so much better knowing they were getting plenty of attention and care while we were away. She had excellent communication and her daily updates brought smiles to our faces every time!”
About: Over my life I have had 5 cats, 5 dogs ranging from small yorkies to pitbulls and a golden doodle. I would usually take responsibility for these animals like taking them outside on walks, feeding them, buying the toys they love to play with. Overall I can’t remember a time in my life where a pet was present around me in my home. Pet care fits into my daily routine easily I’d say, I am a freshman attending Rutgers New Brunswick and I do have a job but it’s not daily. I have a fenced in backyard that I used for all my dogs and if they got tired of just roaming the same backyard I’d take them on walks when they wanted it. I put them to sleep in their crates and feed them when it is time. My cats are pretty free and only bother me if they want to use the backyard or want food, but I like to keep them entertained so I play with them using the toys I’ve bought.
“Dani is wonderful! She watched our two dogs and our bird, in our home, while we were away for three nights. Both of our dogs are rescues and do much better staying in their own home. One of our dogs is very reactive and takes medication. Dani was so patient and kind and worked with us to help Cooper gain her trust. She communicated during our trip and sent us photos of our fur babies. She kept our house impeccable, as well! We will definitely be using Dani again in the near future. She is highly recommended to anyone looking for a compassionate, hardworking, knowledgeable dog sitter. Thank you Dani, for all you did to make us and our pets so comfortable!”
“Brigid was extremely professional and thorough taking care of our dog. She made sure he had everything he needed, from walks, food, and attention (most importantly). She provided regular updates along with pictures to us and it was apparent that our dog felt safe and sound. Highly recommended.”
About: I have sitter for mores than 20 years to family and friends little ones. I like to walk and cuddle with them. Playing and fetches at the park. Training and teaches new tricks I work full time but able to walk them early in the morning and afternoon. available to sleep over at sitter house. I follow instructions and be on time at their house I have a small dog and able to stay with them at home. I can take care and give them medicine if it’s necessary
About: I’m just starting out on Rover, but I’ve grown up with dogs and been around them my whole life. I work remotely most days, so I am flexible to adjust my schedule to make sure your pet is well taken care of. The sillier and goofier your dog, the better! Whether your pet likes to go for long walks and play fetch or lounge around the house, you can be sure they will be in good hands while you’re away. I work a full-time job and am remote at least 3 days a week, so I am flexible to adjust my schedule to meet your dog’s needs. On the weekends I am looking for any excuse to be outside, so your pets will get plenty of time in the sun! My partner and I live in a house, with no other pets or children. Your pet will be my #1 priority! We have an open yard with plenty of shaded space, and some nice parks nearby. There is a neighbor that lives below us, so any dogs that bark very frequently may not be a great fit for us
“Brian dog sat in our home for the week and was absolutely wonderful! He kept us updated with messages and pictures throughout our trip, which gave us such peace of mind. He was incredibly attentive, caring, and loving with our pup. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Glad we booked with him again!”
About: I have had pets since I was a kid and have also pet sit for family and friends. I have had both dogs and cats through my life, so I know how to take care of each. I work full time Monday-Friday, but do have flexibility to come let out a dog once per day if needed. I do not work on weekends, so I have availability as needed. I will follow all directions given, and will make sure to keep your pets safe and comfortable throughout the time I am watching them. I have experience with sitting both cats and dogs.
“Thanks to Vanessa, we had one less thing to worry about during our recent trip. She took great care of the boys and a few things around the house. Logistically, her work place being close to our house, gave us the assurance that she is closeby if needed during her working hours. The boys loved her so much, they went crazy when she had dropped by later to collect a few stuff she had left behind.”
“I have a 12 year old dog and a 12 year old cat. The dog is pretty sick and needs very specific care and Jessica went above and beyond for both of them! You can tell she really cares deeply for the animals she takes care of. She sends very helpful updates, is very attentive to their needs and my pets already miss her.”
About: I am a reliable and honest worker. I absolutely love all kinds of animals. I will be there for you, as well as your pet. What sets me apart from others is that I have no preferences! I love all dogs and cats - big, small, young, or old. I don’t mind going out on walks or potty runs. I love to get the exercise! I also don’t mind if you need me to stay the night. If you’re on vacation and need me to be at the house multiple times per day I can even do that. Whatever you need I’ll be sure to provide it. I have a flexible schedule which will be convenient for this job. I am so excited for this opportunity, thanks :) Best, Jaden I work fully remotely and have a very flexible schedule, which makes pet care easy to incorporate into my daily routine. I’m able to take breaks throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, feedings, and check-ins, while still keeping up with my work. This flexibility also allows me to accommodate overnight stays or multiple visits when needed. I’m happy to provide care in your home, where your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m also very flexible with travel and have my own car, so I can easily commute to you for drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays. While I’m not able to offer regular boarding at my apartment, I’m happy to work with you to find the setup that’s most comfortable and convenient for your pet!
“This is the second time that we’ve used Erin to house sit our dog Rocky. Erin is awesome!!! She responds right away and always keeps us updated on her visits. Erin is now our go-to dog sitter. We will definitely be using her in the future. I highly recommend Erin for all of your dog sitting needs.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Morristown
Annette was wonderful to our golden retriever and kitty while we were away for 2 weeks. She has a strong understanding and sensitivity to animals which is greatly appreciated! She established a strong bond with our pets, especially with our senior cat who is very selective with humans. We will definitely use Annettte again for overnight stays.
Highly recommend Samantha, she did a fabulous job for us. She was prompt and reliable, followed all instructions which included administering medication 3 times. Samantha had a great attitude, gave me updates by text, and I felt comfortable leaving Baby, my cat, with her. Baby was happy and well cared for.
Emily took care of my 2 dogs for a long weekend. She was so great, responsible, and trustworthy! She stayed at our house and took such great care of our dogs. She hung out with them A LOT, which I really appreciated. She kept me updated with messages and photos as well. I loved not having to worry about my dogs while away on vacation because I knew they were in great hands. She also left my house exactly like it was when we left! Would DEF use Emily again!
Sophie did such a wonderful job caring for my dog while I was on vacation. My pup needs time to get used to new people and Sophie gave him the space that he needed to get comfortable with her. She sent me regular updates and photos and left my home spotless. I will definitely look to book Sophie for my next trip.
This is the second time Dani has taken care of Vinny. She kept me up-to-date while I was away on how he was doing each day and sent me plenty of pictures and videos. She kept my house spotless and when I came home everything was exactly where I left it. You can definitely trust her in your home and with your fur baby.

FAQs for House Sitting - Morristown
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Morristown on Rover is $55.5 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 18,092 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Morristown. 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 Morristown 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 Morristown 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 Morristown 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.

- 89% 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.
