“Jordyn did a great job caring for my westie in my home while I was away for a week. She sent updates and pictures. He was well cared for. When I returned home, Jordyn made sure everything was in perfect order! Linus misses her already! We’ll be calling Jordyn again! I highly recommend her!”
“Krystie is absolutely who you want sitting your pets!! This was my first time hiring a sitter. We usually have my niece or good friend watch the dogs for us, but that wasn't possible this time. I was pretty nervous about having a stranger in charge of my home and my babies, but it was clear from the outset that Krystie knows what she's about when it comes to dogs. They took to her immediately at the meet-and-greet, and she took SUCH great care of them all week. I swear, she took better care of them than we do! My husband and I joked that we needed to bring home extra special treats to bribe them back into loving us haha. She sent pictures and videos every day, had great communication, and just showered the pups with love and attention. If you're feeling nervous about hiring a sitter, I can tell you Krystie is the right choice.”
About: Hello everybody! I am an animal lover with professional and personal experience caring for ALL animals. Ive worked in various animal hospitals over the course of 5 years with veterinary technician experience caring for cats, dogs, birds, rodents, and reptiles. I have experience bathing dogs as well as administering medication, subcutaneous fluids, injections, and syringe / tube feeding. If your pet requires any of this special care I would be a great caregiver for them! Outside of work I also have pet sat in my own home as well as clients homes. I work from home, so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets and they will have constant attention and company. They will not be left alone for longer than 3 hrs. I am a single mother to a well behaved 2 year old boy, who understands how to respect animal boundaries :) we are very active and enjoy the outdoors. I'm sure your dog would love to accompany us on my outdoor adventures (Hiking, running, walking, park and beach visits, ect.) ! I do not own any cages/crates as I prefer to allow pets free roam. If you would like your pet to be crated or know that he/she chews things please provide one for their stay!
“Linda was wonderful to work with and took amazing care of our home, 3 dogs and kitten. She was easy to communicate with. Linda was so sweet and took extra time and had great patience with our grumpy older dachshund. 5 stars!!!”
About: I have been proud to be a shih tzu owner for 3 years with my family. I have also been pet sitting and walking since I was 12 I walk and feed my dog on a daily basis. I also play with him during my free time and weather permitting, take him to the dog park I currently live in an apartment while occasionally staying at my parents house. I make sure to give them the care they need and show them how much they are loved.
“Alissa was fabulous! I was hesitant leaving my 8 month old puppy with anyone for a week since he is just a little guy, but Alissa made me feel so comfortable from the second I met her and watched her interact with my dog! She stayed at my house for a week, sent me daily updates, and even sent me multiple pictures a day! She was phenomenal and if I could give her more than 5 stars I would! She even gave me tips on what worked and what didn’t since my dog is a picky eater! I definitely recommend and will be using her again!! I not only trust her with my little love, but I trust her in my home!”
About: Hi! My name is Nataliya and I would love to help you out with your pups and kitties! I have a 5 year old Shiba of my own and he’s my entire world! I work as a registered nurse so I have plenty of free time and currently between jobs so all the time in the world to love up on your pups/kitties! As an owner of a Shiba I deal with a very stubborn, independent, big personality dog and honestly I would have it no other way! He is a stubborn walker so I can get my steps in with your dogs instead! 😂 I will spoil your babies with love and send you tons of pictures/videos! I am currently between jobs so I have all the time in the world to love up on your pups! I can do morning and evening walks as well as house sitting if needed. Weekends are free as well. I try to start off my morning with an earlier walk so its not too hot out! But my day is very flexible for whatever my clients may need.
About: I am so excited to meet and take care of your pets. I’ve had cats all ages all my life and love their company as well as their personalities. I also had dogs growing up and have been a dog sitter for over 10 years. I have a flexible schedule to meet your pet’s needs and ability to take them on walks throughout the day. Open to all dog sizes. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to reach out! I work mostly remote and have a flexible schedule to accommodate and meet your pets needs! Safety is my priority for your pets! Please let me know if your pet is on any medications, has any allergies, or any physical limitations. I work mostly remote and have a very flexible schedule throughout the week. Any day of the week will work for me with varying times slots throughout the day. I have years of experience taking care of pets, safety is my biggest priority. I have no problem giving pets medication if needed, being cautious of other dogs or people while walking if they’re reactive, and giving them extra love while their parents are away.
“Savita was incredibly caring and communicative watching my kitties. She provided regular check-ins, asked questions when necessary, and I know the boys were happy to have her. I would recommend Savita to any pet owner who is looking for peace of mind while they’re out of town!”
About: Available 7 days a week, as I work from home full time. Hours of availability are typically flexible and with enough advanced notice I can make any schedule work with mine. Have some at home training classes under my belt, and I am very affectionate, giving and patient when it comes to animals, especially dogs. I grew up with dogs in the house my entire life and now share my life with an adopted Dachshund puppy, Dill. I raised Dill from a 3 month old puppy and he completely rules my world. I can honestly say that there’s really nothing that I love more than him in this entire world. I would treat your pup as if he/she were my own while taking care of them.
“Trista was able to jump in last minute to do an overnight for our dog Cash. She was very accommodating, came to do a meet and greet and was over the next day to watch him! Would definitely use her again!”
About: I babysit dogs because in my opinion a pet is like a family member, they can’t be in a cage or crate all day, and that is why I offer my services. I am very flexible to take care of your dog because I am home all day. I can take care of your dog or cat very well because I have plenty of time to devote and look forward to spending time with your fur baby I have a big fenced backyard for your dog to play in and though I have a dog, he is ok with dogs around him and they will probably get along well
About: My name is Emma R. and I am currently a senior at Fairleigh Dickinson University - Florham. I have been housitting and pet sitting since I was in middle school and would love to help you out! I have worked with animals of all size, age, and even some with medical conditions. I am experienced at giving medication and work well wih animals, as I grew up with a cat and dogs. I am able to care for multiple pets at once, and have a car on campus so I am able to take any job. I am a college student with avalability sporadically so please reach out about specific days and times that you would need care. I am happy to take pets on walks or just sit with them and give them attention in addition to feeding. If staying the night, I am happy to have your pet sleep with me or crate them, whatever they will be the most comfortable with.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Morristown
We cannot recommend Annett enough! She stayed in our home and cared for our two dogs, and she was an absolute dream to work with. She sent us regular updates, pictures, and videos throughout the entire stay, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We came back to two very happy, relaxed pups and a spotless house. If you are looking for someone reliable, communicative, and truly caring, book her!
Sophie looked after our cat while we were away - he can be a little shy with new people but he quickly warmed up to her. Sophie gave me regular updates and I could tell when I got home how relaxed and happy he was. The house was also kept clean and tidy and I would not hesitate to book Sophie again next time we need someone to look after our little guy.
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!
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 of House Sitting in Morristown is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $94 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 November 2026, there are 18,028 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

- 95% 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.
