About: Hello Walks and wags are everything. Owner of a female Shepherd and grew up around dogs my entire life. On my visits, lots of individual time spent playing, treating, training and caring for your child. 30 minute minimum walking, playing fetch, brushing, and above all keeping in contact with the owner at all times. Send in lots of fun texts, pictures through your work day to ensure your pet is safe and with a doubt happy. When under my care I treat each animal with compassion and care as though they where my own. Ultimately looking for a few consistent clients to become part of my everyday business and bringing relieve to each owner knowing your pet is under the best care possible. Thank you. I’m currently working although with flexibility in my schedule I am can make it work to take time and care for your dog during the week/weekend. Dropping by while your at work or away is no problem for me. Making sure to take great care of your dog is my top priority and I treat them like one of my own.

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs all my life, big and small, so I’ve had experience feeding, cleaning up after, and taking care of animals for a while. I began with taking care of dogs around my neighborhood, and eventually got a job at an overnight dog daycare. The job gave me more experience in taking care of and interacting with dogs, as well as feeding, grooming, and reading the body languages of dogs whether they were independent or in a group setting. I also used to volunteer on a farm, so I have experience with other species of animals as well! I am currently a student at Rutgers University with a class schedule. My availability is as follows, MONDAY- 12pm to 3 or 6pm- all night TUESDAY- 12pm- all night WEDNESDAY- 7 am- 3pm or 6pm- all night THURSDAY- 2 pm- all night FRIDAY- 12pm- all night SATURDAY AND SUNDAY- anytime I’m always very adamant of respecting the boundaries of animals, and I’m good at reading their body language. I try to create a calming and stress free environment, making sure I introduce myself and establish a comfortable relationship with them. I understand that being away from family can be stressful for pets, so I try to make them as happy and relaxed as possible and treat them as if they were my own.

About: Dogs have always held a special place in my heart. I grew up caring for my Shih Tzu and my pit/beagle mix, who are now happily playing over the rainbow bridge. They taught me the importance of patience, attention, and unconditional love, and I hope to share that same nurturing care with the fur babies in my community. I work a typical 9–5 job, with remote flexibility on Mondays and Fridays, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule with advanced notice to make sure your pet gets the care they deserve. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or keeping them company, I will treat your dog like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I’m committed to providing dependable, attentive support and regular updates for your peace of mind. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pup, and I look forward to caring for them as if they were my own. 🐾 I currently work 9 am-5 pm. In office Tuesdays - Thursdays in Princeton/North Brunswick, WFH Mondays and Friday North Brunswick/South Amboy. Flexible with advanced notice! I travel between South Amboy, North Brunswick and Princeton areas. Again, my schedule can be super flexible depending on date and time and we can arrange something! care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment. In my client’s home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions they provide. I make sure they have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a calm, clean space. I also take time to understand each dog’s personality and energy level, whether they prefer active play, relaxed companionship, or extra patience if they’re shy. During visits, I provide updates and photos so you can feel reassured that your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both you and your pet by being dependable, attentive, and respectful of your home and your pet’s needs!

About: I've had my own dog for the past 10 years, so I'm very comfortable with the daily responsibilities of caring for pets. I take care of everything from walking and feeding to bathing and basic training. Over the past few years, I've also looked after my neighbors' and family members' pets while they were away, making sure they stayed on their normal routines and got plenty of attention. I understand that every pet is different, and I always make an effort to provide the same level of care that I'd want for my own dog. I work part-time remotely, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time during the day to walk, play with, and care for your pet. I'll make sure they get the attention and care they need while you're away. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, and any specific instructions. I make sure the pet is always safe, supervised, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m careful to respect the home, keep everything clean, and communicate if anything comes up while I’m there.

“Yaqin was great with Fafa! It was too hot outside for a regular walk, so she adjusted the visit and found other ways to keep Fafa active and entertained. She even did some strength exercises with him and gave him plenty of enrichment and attention. I really appreciated how attentive she was and how well she adapted to Fafa’s needs. Would definitely book with her again!”

About: Hi, my name is Amanda and I adopted my beagle, Honey, last year. I grew up with cats and dogs, and understand that pets are part of the family. I have experience with kittens, cats, and anxious dogs. My specialty is small to medium sized dogs. I walk and train with my dog every day. We completed all the obedience training programs at PetSmart and we participate in agility classes and ecollar training programs. I understand the importance of training as well as caring for the animal with love and patience. I work from home, so my schedule is quite flexible. I walk my dog for about 20 minutes between 8-9am, and then again in the evening from 5pm-7pm. I have a friendly 1.5year old beagle at home who would love to play and snuggle with your pup. I would separate them via dog gate or crating during meal time. We would go for a pack walk and have designated nap time in their crates. Additionally, I would crate both dogs overnight for safety purposes.

About: Ever since my family got our first dog, I absolutely fell in love with them. I offered to always watch after my friend’s dogs whenever their family would travel. I would walk them, play with them, and always send cute updates about their pup! I am currently unemployed this summer so I will have plenty of time to play and walk your pups! I’m typically available any day of the week and I am also open to same-day scheduling. If I am not available I will let you know as soon as possible! Having dogs myself, I have learned how to take properly care for them and understand the importance of keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable. I always follow owner’s instructions, make sure pets have plenty of food and water, exercise, and lots of attention!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - North Brunswick

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in North Brunswick is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $23 and $31 per visit. 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 8,094 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across North Brunswick. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 North 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!

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 .

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.

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 .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in North Brunswick with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in North Brunswick. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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.
