“Eleanor was wonderful with my 3 dogs. She sent lots of pictures. The girls were happy and well taken care of. They got plenty of outdoor time and playtime with Eleanor. Would highly recommend Eleanor”
“Bria was an incredible cat sitter. She administered his meds, played with him and sent us pictures of him regularly while we were away. She came a few days before to get acquainted too! Don’t hesitate to book her we will be booking her again!”
“Excellent pet sitter! Quincy stayed in our home and took great care of our cats. He was attentive to our instructions, and our cats were happy at home with him. Highly recommend Quincy for your pet care needs!”
About: I grew up taking care of my childhood dog, and then I extended that experience in the Rutgers University Companion Animal Club assisting in the public access training of future service dogs. I also spent a year as a kennel technician in Old Bridge, NJ taking care of puppies & preparing them for their forever homes. I am very flexible, I usually work in New Brunswick Monday-Friday from 9-4:30pm, but I can do my work from home if needed which helps a lot. I will discuss individual preferences with clients to meet their desires. I live very close to a big park and am able to take walks whenever.
“Hadija is a pleasure to work with. She took very good care of Max while we were away. We got frequent updates along with pictures and videos, and she was very responsive when we had questions. I felt safe having Hadija in my house taking care of Max. I look forward to working with her again.”
“Calli was great and did everything as instructed, she was our first experience with Rover and did great with our two dogs and cat. It was great to enjoy vacation without worrying about our pets with Calli there watching them.”
“Celestine truly went above and beyond!! We were worried as this was the first time leaving our pets so long and with a housesitter, but after the first few hours it was clear all our pets were in amazing hands! Celestine showed clear love and understanding of animals. We were initially worried how our reactive dog would do while we were away, but Celestine worked with him with great care, patience, and clear expertise from training guide dogs, adjusting walking schedules for our reactive dog and doing some training. Updates were sent frequently and always with such aesthetic photos 🙂 We would trust Celestine to watch our pets again in a heartbeat 😊”
About: I've been taking care of my best friend's and my neighbors' dogs since before I can remember, and have two very happy and healthy cats myself. I can take care of any animal, but cats and dogs are my favorites. I love to take dogs on walks and playing fetch (even on 100+ degree days) because every dog deserves the best treatment. Pet care is 24/7 for me with two cats, but since it's summertime, I'm able to be free any day of the week at any time to take care of pets, and can spend long amounts of time with pets without having to leave them. I will follow any and all rules and set by you, including feeding times, walk requests and more, as all I want is to ensure your pet is safe, happy, and taken care of properly. I am very enthusiastic about walks and even just playing with and petting dogs, and I just want to make sure pets are happy and healthy😸.
“My wife and I just had Jennifer stay with our dog for the very first time …. it was perfect! Wylie and Jennifer got along great! Jennifer made him feel loved and comfortable. Wylie has a strong attachment to my wife, but Jennifer won him over. While the Rover website is great and easy to work with, Jennifer walked us through the process, explained what she could do and made us feel good about leaving Wylie in the hands of a complete stranger (a stranger no more). We were equally impressed with how well Jennifer treated our home. We were gone overnight and Jennifer stayed with Wylie in our home. There is no question that I very highly recommend Jennifer to anyone who is the least bit nervous about having a pet-sitter. We plan on using her every chance we get!”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lovers with a deep passion of caring for pets of all kinds. Growing up surrounded by cats, dogs, and plenty of other furry (and not-so-furry) friends taught me how much love and care they deserve. My top priority is always making sure your pets are happy, healthy, and feeling loved. From feeding routines and walks to cuddle time (or just calm company for the more independent types), I make sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for according to their unique personality. I love keeping pets engaged with fun, stimulating activities. For cats, that might mean interactive toys, puzzle feeders, or laser play. For dogs, it’s usually games of fetch, tug-of-war, or a good old-fashioned frisbee toss. Even reptiles get the same thoughtful attention (maybe less cuddling, but plenty of care and respect!). Every pet deserves the best care possible, and that’s what I promise to provide. Whether you’re going away for a day or a week, I will treat your furry family member as if they were our own. I’d love to meet your pets and help you feel at ease while you’re away!
“Rebecca was great with the house, cats and communication! One thing that stood out to me was her calm demeanor. My cats are freaked out by some people and take a little to warm up. They both liked her right away, which gave us a peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book her again.”
About: I provide a lot of love and care towards the animals I look after so you can feel peace of mind that your pet is attentive hands! I have many years of experience in pet and house sitting, from just over a weekend to over two months of long term care. I love animals and would love to snuggle with yours! I work from home so I have a lot of flexibility with pet sitting, it lets me be around all day to let out to potty, walk, give pets etc I don’t currently offer boarding in my home at this time due to the allergies of other people in my home. Maybe in the future!
“Shiloh was a wonderful relief after a petcare emergency left us to find a replacement sitter while we were away on vacation. Our dog is lovely, but suffers from severe separation anxiety and is stubborn on the leash. She handled him beautifully and I felt at ease with how she talked about him and when she sent pictures of our dog, while we were away. She gave us great tips on how to handle his anxiety. Most of all, I felt like she truly cared for Boomerang like it was her own furbaby. We will definitely ask for Shiloh's help for future pet care needs.”
About: Hi, besides the obvious of loving animals, I have had first hand raising them growing up, and later I worked and lived on a farm tending for both the farm (~100 sheep, horses, goats, llamas, chicken) and the house animals (4 dogs, and a cat) Student looking for part time gigs, I’m pretty flexible with short-notice/on-call availability throughout the whole week. I love animals and have plenty of experience so this opportunity would be the perfect coupling! I’m great at following instructions (almost to a fault!) so I will do my best to take the best care of your furry family. Little bit about me: I’m a student, part time barista, I love nature and photography, taking walks and hiking, farmer’s markets, keeping a nice and tidy environment, cafes and hanging out with friends.
“My pup and I had a great experience! Liana took wonderful care of Marley and kept me updated throughout her stay. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would definitely book with her again!”
About: I have over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for a 60 lb Labrador Retriever, whom I raised from puppyhood. During that time, I learned how to understand dog behavior, body language, exercise needs, and daily routines at every stage of life. I also have experience caring for cats and understand that every pet has its own unique personality. I take the time to build trust, whether a pet is playful, shy, or needs extra patience. Although I no longer have my Labrador, the experience gave me a strong foundation in responsible pet care. I treat every pet as if they were my own, following each owner’s instructions carefully to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m a faculty at Rutgers, and most of my teaching is online, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend a lot of time at home. This makes it easy for me to provide pets with regular attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I plan my schedule to ensure every pet in my care receives consistent supervision and the care they need. I live in a clean, pet-friendly two-bedroom apartment near downtown New Brunswick. I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable, and calm environment where they can relax and feel at home. I follow each pet’s regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s normal routine to help reduce stress. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and regular updates with photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe and well cared for.
The median cost per night for house sitting in New Brunswick is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Brunswick
Diana was great! She made an effort to be available for us last minute, she came by for a meet and greet in advance. I was nervous leaving my dog (and my house) in the care of someone I didn’t really know and I’m really glad we did. She left our house spotless. She sent tons of photos and videos and even timed her walks with our dog. Our puppy can be high energy and a lot to handle (43lbs of pure crazy) and Diana handled her so well!
We had a wonderful experience! Miryam cared for our two Yorkies in our home for six hours and was attentive, responsible, and genuinely caring. She followed all of our care instructions, including feeding, walks, playtime, and potty breaks. Our 6-year-old Yorkie has some separation anxiety and was a little nervous after we left, but she was patient, gave him the time he needed to warm up, and made sure he was comfortable. She also did a great job keeping up with our energetic 1-year-old Yorkie, making sure he had frequent potty breaks and plenty of active play. Her attention to detail and communication gave us peace of mind, and it was clear our dogs were well cared for. We would absolutely recommend her and would happily book her again!
Dan kept my cats well exercised and made sure they had all their supplements. He was able to give allergy meds as well, which they're sometimes finnicky about. For the anxiety cucumbers my cats usually are, Dan had them remarkably relaxed and comfortable around him. I got plenty of photos and positive updates. After how well my cats took to him, he's definitely going to be who I book with anytime I need a cat sitter.
Celestine was reliable, communicative, and kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the stay, which gave me great peace of mind! I came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat and a tidy apartment. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!!
Toni was so great with our two large dogs. We went away for a couple nights and couldn’t have felt more at ease. She followed the directions we left, kept us updated, and provided lots of snuggles to our big mushes. We would (and will) use her again anytime and highly recommend.
alyssa was the best i was worried if shed handle 3 giant german shepherds but they have fallen in love with her !!! i cant be more grateful for the perfect dog sitter 10 stars if i could shes literally the best !!!her energy from the moment you walk she walks in you know yourbgetting a trust worthy sweet loving person theres no one better and i never leave reviews but i had to this time!!!
Sarah is an incredible pet sitter!! She watched our dog and cat for 10 days over the holidays. She made sure our pup got lots of exercise and even took her on errands with her to avoid leaving her alone (she has separation anxiety). Sarah also won over our cat who typically isn’t very nice lol. Highly recommend booking Sarah to watch your pets!

FAQs for House Sitting - New Brunswick
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in New Brunswick on Rover is $38.93 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 10,811 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across New Brunswick. 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 New Brunswick 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 New Brunswick 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 New Brunswick 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
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
