“Hadija is the best! We are so grateful for her thoughtful and attentive care for our dog. She is such a great communicator, sharing frequent updates and adorable photos. We especially appreciated her kindness and support she gave to our dog when they had an upset stomach for a few days. Hadija helped to keep our dog comfortable and to figure out ways to help her feel better. We highly recommend Hadija for housesitting! We know our dog has a strong connection with her and we are grateful to know she is in such good hands while we are away.”

“Gary did a wonderful job caring for our Shiba while we were away! He was able to follow our detailed instructions and requests, gave our dog lots of exercise and attention, and kept in very active communication with us sending pictures and videos and updates. We will definitely call on Gary again!”

About: As a lifelong dog parent who recently provided dedicated, high-needs care for my own senior dog, I deeply understand every stage of a pup's life—from energetic puppyhood to the gentle senior years. I am highly experienced in managing specialized routines, including administering medications and eye drops, preparing prescriptive diets, and handling accident cleanups with patience. Whether your dog needs active playtime, structured walks, or just a comforting presence to feel safe and secure, I am ready to provide the attentive love they deserve. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to attend to your pups! I'm available for house sitting and staying with your pup in their own comfy environment. Let me know what your needs are and I'll try to accommodate them! I can care for your pet in your home as you see fit! My goal is to make your pup feel happy, safe, and secure and stick to their normal routine as much as possible.
“Ana was an awesome sitter! She cared for our kitten, Marvel, for several days while we were out of town. Ana was kind, communicative, flexible, and SUPER SWEET with Marvel. She happily worked with us when we unexpectedly needed to extend our trip an extra day. She was a wonderful first experience utilizing Rover. We will definitely be reaching out to her again for future care. Ana, thank you so much for the peace of mind and sweet love you offered our baby!”
About: Hi! My name is Sammi and I've owned dogs since I was 3 years old! I've studied the fundamentals of dog training (ABA) in college and seen it in action with my own pets (as well as children). I've volunteered at local animal shelters and adore all pets! I have flexible working hours during the week and can help out through out the week to ensure your pets are safe and their needs are met! I have a fenced yard for your fur babies to run and play in. I'm courteous and always do my best to leave things better than they were.
“We booked Evgenii to dog sit in our home for 10 days while we went on vacation. Our previous dog sitter canceled and Evgenii was very accommodating for a last minute booking. We met him a few times for walks prior to this so our dog would become familiar with him and our dog absolutely loved him. She got so excited each time he came by for a walk which was so reassuring for us. Throughout the 10 days we had constant communication, received regular updates and was very responsive any time we reached out. We really appreciated this communication and it was so nice to see our dog was happy. We also returned home to a very tidy and clean house. We are so happy to have found Evgenii and we will most definitely be using his services again going forward.”
“Irina is an awesome sitter! Came over a few days before our event to meet our dog; she asked great questions, wrote down my answers and got a long great with our dog. She walked her multiple times, played with her in the our yard, and sent lots of photos. She was flexible with the end time, as we were attending an event and were not sure of when it would end. Thanks so much Irina!”
About: I have been petsitting for the past 3 years and during that time I have cared for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, as well as chickens, goats, birds, rabbits, ferrets, and guinea pigs... and I love them all! In addition to petsitting, I also have 3 small dogs and two parakeets of my own - there is never a dull moment! I currently attend Rutgers University- With my schedule, I can care for your pet in the mornings before class, during lunch/mid day breaks (during the week I have 2 hours between classes around lunch time, which is when I can come and care for your pet) and when I get home from classes around 5pm. I am also available during the weekends! I spend time with the pets I care for, giving them lots of love and attention, and really enjoy taking them on walks too! I am a firm believer in following instructions and will stick to your described routine, to ensure the most safety and ease for your beloved pet.
About: I have a signal family house with a large backyard and i have over 10years of experience caring for dogs and cata. I currently have one dog and one cat at home. My house has two separate floors. So i can accommodate pets separately if needed Caring for pets is part of my everyday life. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable home with a fenced backyard for dogs to play. I work full-time during the week, but I am available before and after work, and I have flexible availability on weekends. I always make time for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention they deserve. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel at home. I follow each pet's regular routine, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection throughout their stay. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pets are happy and well cared for. If I am caring for pets in a client's home, I always respect their home and follow all care instructions carefully to keep the pet comfortable and maintain their normal routine.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, but I really started learning through hands-on experience when I got my own pug 6 years ago. He’s super mellow and has taught me so much about caring for dogs day-to-day. I love making sure pups feel comfortable and entertained—especially if they’re treat-motivated! I have enrichment toys, a basket full of fun toys, and a cozy patio they can relax on. There’s also a dog park in my community for extra playtime. I’m not a pro trainer, but I’m happy to work on basic training with treats and patience. I just genuinely love dogs and want them to feel happy and at home. Pet care is naturally part of my daily life. I take my dog on walks around my townhouse complex, stop by the dog park, and make sure he gets plenty of play and cuddle time. I work full-time Monday through Friday, but my partner is home during the day if needed, and I always make time in the evenings for walks, feeding, and attention. On weekends, I’m fully available. I also love taking dogs to pet-friendly spots throughout the week—because they deserve a fun outing and a little treat now and then, like a pup cup if allowed! Pets in my home are free to roam since they’re trained to potty outside, but I’m always happy to adjust based on your pet’s needs. I have potty pad holders available if needed and will gladly follow any special instructions you provide to help your dog feel safe, happy, and comfortable!
About: I have been caring for pets since I was 10 years old. I love all animals I always have. I'm a very sensitive soul and I really feel their energy. They seem to love me as well. I've always treated all of my fur babies as just that, part of the family like a very important part! So when I care for your pet rest assured they will have a luxury experience and pretty much run the show. I let them decide where and when to walk and go outside and play and eat, all within your guidelines, of course. I would be honored if u would allow me to care for your amazing fur baby or babies🐾💖 I currently work part-time so I have plenty of time to spend spoiling your fur babies. My schedule can be flexible so please reach out to see if we could be a good fit I am extremely flexible and can customize care to fit you and your pets specific needs and make sure your pets are comfortable and feel at home.
About: I have always had a passion for dogs. I have been dog sitting for the past 6 years. I truly love every minute of it! I enjoy giving each dog individual attention and care, unlike what they may receive in a large kennel. I love spending time with dogs, taking them for walks, feeding them, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away I’m a stay at home fur mom and have a flexible schedule and reliable transportation. I can easily incorporate more dogs into my feeding and walking routines throughout the days. I have had dogs my whole life and truly enjoy pet care and helping keep pets on their schedule. I also think it is important to have patience with dogs.
About: Hello, my name is Jeffrey and I am an Animal Care Technician and Doggy Daycamp Counselor currently working at Best Friends Pet Hotel. I have worked there for over 2 years now as working with animals is my passion. Outside of working at a pet hotel, I have also been responsible for walking, feeding, and giving water to my neighbors dogs as well. As of right now I am currently a student at Penn State Univeristy, majoring in criminal justice in hopes of becoming a New Jersey State Trooper, I plan on becoming a K9 officer. Before, in between and after my classes during the weekdays, I am available for services. I love all dogs and treat them all as my own. As of now, I have cared for hundreds, if not thousands of dogs through my work.
“Kim was a lifesaver! We needed a sitter last minute for our pups as we were traveling to Italy. She wrote down notes for each of the puppies during the house visit and was confident the care she would provide them. She was attentive to their and our needs. She kept us informed throughout our trip and was able to understand their personalities. The pups gravitated towards her and felt comfortable. I would definitely reach out to her again!”
About: Hello! My name is Izzy, and I'd love to help take care of your furry friends. I am a certified dog and cat groomer, and I have a lot of experience working with various animals, especially birds, and farm animals. I've gained a lot of knowledge about animals through volunteering, work, as well as through caring for my own pets. I have 2 elderly rescue hounds of my own, Walter and Rosa, as well as a Senegal parrot named Zeppole. I also have experience working with rescue dogs/older dogs with anxiety. I look forward to meeting you and your pet :) I am free to house-sit during weekends, as well as do drop-ins or walks during most days of the week. If you have a specific time-frame you need me present, let me know and I can arrange my schedule around yours to the best of my abilities. Due to my own animal's needs and temperaments, I am sadly not able to board any pets. However, I'll be happy to provide your animals with the same level of upmost care at your home that I would for my own pets.

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.

The average cost of House Sitting in North Brunswick is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $89 per night.

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 North 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 North 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 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!
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.
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 .
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 .
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.
