“What a week away it has been! A blizzard forecast came out of nowhere while we were away , and even though this was the first time we used Melissa, she handled it like a trooper ! She was willing & able to do whatever was needed to prepare for the storm, regarding both the house & dog, which gave us great comfort. She also jelled quickly with our dog, and we could tell he was happy from the updates & photos we received. Melissa comes highly recommended, and we will definitely use her again!”
“Bryan did a great job dog sitting Mikey. We had to cut our trip early due to the snow storm and Bryan was very flexible and took so much stress off our plate. Would highly recommend him to anyone planning a trip - especially dog owners like me who often stress about finding the right person for their pup!”
“Keith and his wife are lovely. They previously had a large dog and understand well. Keith communicated well throughout with pictures, which I love. Pasta & Rippie were so content and relaxed when I picked them up, I know it was a great visit. Well definitely recommend and book again! Thank you for taking such good care of them”
“Brandon was an awesome sitter for us - he took great care of our 2 dachshunds and our house while we were away. He sent updates and was always responsive, and booking with Brandon was easy. We will definitely ask Brandon to come back next time we need a sitter!”
“Anahi was great with taking care of our pup and cat. They were quick, friendly and professional from start to finish. Our pup, Frankie requires extra attention and Anahi handled everything great and updated us during the sit.”
“My dog LOVES Sheryl! She was so wonderful with our two year old maltipoo. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing Flash was in such great hands. She sent photos and kept me posted with how my dog was doing the whole time. She even had recommendations for me which I really appreciated as a first time dog mom! I have already booked our next house sitting with Sheryl.”
About: ***AVAILABLE JULY AND AUGUST, I WORK IN AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL*** I have had animals since I was kid and eventually adopted a dog of my own who had behavioral triggers and social restrictions that helped me learn a lot about dog and human safety. After his passing, I decided to work at the SPCA to have an animals lovin’ and I enjoyed every second of it. Because of my experience, they allowed me to work with the dogs who have a history and require more attentive care; seeing those babes go home is something I will never forget. I have some free time on my hands due to my 10 month employment at a school and don’t have a dog of my own to walk on these beautiful days! I’d love it if you let me spend some time with yours :) !!! I take care of my cats at home and we’re early risers! I have a pretty clear schedule except for the months where I am working at my school! I am used to the “closing up” of places (checking water bowls, collecting toys, locking the doors/gates) from my own personal experience and from working at the shelter. I like to make sure the animals are calm and happy so that the next time they see me, they’re closer to being as excited as I am!
“Kelsey was great with our Goldendoodle! This was our first time using Rover and she came to meet Brodie the week before we went away. While we were away, she kept us updated with photos and took great care of him for two nights. We would book with her again and highly recommend to anyone looking.”
“Darlene is AMAZING! We have 4 dogs and Darlene went above and beyond to make sure they were treated like royalty while we were on Vacation. As soon as we met her, we knew she was the one to watch our furbabies. Darlene's communication was outstanding, Sent pictures, tended to all of their needs, and communication was phenomenal! She made our Vacation stress free with no worries!”
“Melissa provided exceptionally good care for our little girl and was a great housesitter, leaving our place in great shape at the end of the stay. We got several entertaining photos and updates! We’d definitely ask for Melissa again and would recommend her to anyone!”
“Chelsea was very communicative and sent lots of photos during the time she stayed at my house while watching my pup. I’d recommend her for house/pet sitting and hope to have her back!”
“Sylvan cared for our boy for two days and nights. He is a very sweet dog, but traumatized by his years living in a cage. Sylvan was gentle and patient with him, giving him space so he could be comfortable. She did everything right, and she understood that he might not eat normally. She left our home in the condition she found it. Lots of photos and updates came our way. Definitely a 5 star dog sitter,”
About: Hi! I’m Sydney, and I’ve been dog and cat sitting for over 10 years for wonderful families in my community. I recently joined Rover to connect with more pet parents and expand my pet care services. I truly love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether it’s long walks, playing fetch, sticking to feeding routines, or simply keeping them company, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so if I board your pet, I’ll be home with them throughout the day, giving them plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I work from home so if I'm boarding your pet I will be with them all day giving them lots of walks and attention throughout the day. I care for pets as if they were my own, always prioritizing their safety, comfort, and routine. In my home, pets receive constant supervision, plenty of attention, and lots of exercise through walks and playtime. I work from home, so I’m able to be with them throughout the day, provide timely meals, potty breaks, and make sure they feel comfortable and settled.
“Alexis did great with our 6 month old puppy. She was prepared and loved her energy. She brought her on walks, fed her, and made sure she got bathroom breaks and lots of play time. We will definitely be using Alexis again!”
“Savannah dog & house sat for about 8 days for us. She was very responsible. It was nice that she took the time to come meet the dogs and go over what the job entailed prior to our vacation. We were pleased with the care she gave our pups, and how nicely she kept the house. We will absolutely hire her again, and would recommend her.”
“Casey was amazing!!! I didn’t have to worry about my girls the entire time I was gone. Casey went above and beyond and we will definitely be using her again in the future. We’ve used rover a few times but she is by far the best we’ve experienced. She would get more than 5 ⭐️ if we could!!! If you’re worried about leaving your dog/dogs she’s the perfect person !!!”
About: I grew up with dogs, lived with cats, and overall have a strong love for animals. While I can’t have any own dog/pet right now due to finances and time constraints, I’d love to spend some time with your furry friend and get my steps in! I am reliable, loving, and eager to meet new people and pets. I’m currently waiting to start a new job (I’m a dentist) at the end of June. I have plenty of free time until then, and once my job starts I’ll be off at 4pm. I live in a one bedroom apartment with no yard, but I go on daily walks in Belmar. When caring for a dog in my apartment or your home, I would enforce the same rules the dog follows at home in terms of their routine and what is comfortable with you.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Neptune Township is $60

Couldn't love Brandon more if we tried! He has the most calm and patient demeanor and took such good care of our little Dachshund, Ravioli. This was the first time we were leaving him alone with anyone but my fiance and me, so we were nervous. Brandon came for our dinners so we could have an evening out and he made fast friends with Ravioli. He also helped him through some firework fears as this was the 3rd of July. Ravioli was thrilled to see him on their second night and allowed us dinner in peace. Brandon threw his ball and played with him until he was all tuckered out. Thank you so much, Brandon!
Savannah dog & house sat for about 8 days for us. She was very responsible. It was nice that she took the time to come meet the dogs and go over what the job entailed prior to our vacation. We were pleased with the care she gave our pups, and how nicely she kept the house. We will absolutely hire her again, and would recommend her.
Keith and his wife are lovely. They previously had a large dog and understand well. Keith communicated well throughout with pictures, which I love. Pasta & Rippie were so content and relaxed when I picked them up, I know it was a great visit. Well definitely recommend and book again! Thank you for taking such good care of them
Melissa spent 4 days with our recently-adopted cat, Mama while we were away on vacation. She was very communicative and sent us regular photos and updates. She was very thorough in making sure she understood Mama’s temperament and her needs. Mama took to Melissa immediately and slept on the bed with her, and even rested on her (which she still hasn’t even done with us). I’d highly recommend Melissa and we would definitely book her again the next time we are away.
Having a strong connection with my boys, I hoped to find someone who could empathize. Rachel empathized and cared for my nervous lab and demanding staffy for 9 days. But more importantly she took time to get to know my guys and me. They were walked, cared for (during a storm, and late evening). The care Rachel provided helped me to enjoy our trip without worry. Thank you, Rachel
Kaining did a fantastic job taking care of my two dogs for a week, as well as taking care of my home. She administered medications to both my dogs. She was very responsible, kept to their schedule, played and snuggled with them! I would recommend her to take care of your fur babies.
Kristen did a great job cat-sitting at my house. I left way too many instructions, which she followed perfectly. And both of my shy cats were comfortable enough to make appearances - one even let her pet him. She was also excellent at communicating and sending pictures. I highly recommend her!
Alexa was absolutely wonderful with our senior dog. He can often be slow to warm up and wary about going on walks with new people, but he seemed completely at ease and in his normal element with her. She is super communicative and sent a bunch of pics, it gave me such peace of mind. We highly recommend her!
It was easy working with April right from the start. She responded promptly and communicated professionally throughout. Our 7-month-old puppy received loving attention, went on long beach walks, and had neighborhood dogs come over to play. April has a calm and confident manner, which assured me that our dog was in good hands.
Katherine was so good with Frank the doxie! And he liked her immediately. I then, could leave and travel with ease. Also, I made a request kinda late since my other sitter backed out. I’m recommending Katherine while lol hoping you all keep in mind, I definitely want to have Katherine come stay with Frank again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Neptune Township
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Neptune Township on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 11,829 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Neptune Township. 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 Neptune Township 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 Neptune Township 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 Neptune Township 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.

- 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.
