“Yvette was a huge help on Thanksgiving! We had peace of mind knowing she was going to take good care of our dog and my brother’s dog who was visiting from our of town. She arrived right on time and took good care of both of them. Sent lots of pictures and a detailed update. Would definitely use her again!”
“This is our 2nd time using Jonathan. We had a vet emergency 1 hr before our flight, and he came to the vet office, picked up meds, and administered them while we were away. Incredibly kind and responsible person!”

About: i’ve taken care of my dog since i was 12. I love animals whether it’s small or big. I treat them with with absolute love. I have 9 years of personal experience caring for my own dog, along with professional experience working with animals of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I previously worked at ShotVet Mobile Clinic and currently work at VCA Animal Hospital, where I’ve gained hands-on experience with animal handling, safe restraint, medication preparation, and assisting with veterinary procedures. Through these experiences, I’ve learned how important patience, safety, and compassionate care are when working with animals. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different needs and understand how to recognize when an animal may be stressed or uncomfortable. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I treat every pet with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own. My goal is to make sure your furry family member feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care! I currently work part-time at an animal hospital, and I would love to spend my days off caring for other pets! Since I already have experience working with animals, pet sitting fits naturally into my routine. I enjoy spending time with animals and would be happy to dedicate my free time to making sure your pets receive the love, attention, and care they deserve! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Through my experience working at an animal hospital, I’ve learned the importance of safe handling, recognizing signs of stress, and creating a comfortable environment for animals. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines, so I will carefully follow any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and other daily care needs. I will also keep you updated so you can feel confident knowing your furry family member is in caring hands!
“Christina was the absolute best! She was able to come watch our boys on short notice while we were away for our wedding. She is very communicative, friendly, and deeply cares for your pets. We will definitely be recommending her & rebooking in the future. Thank you so so much!! 🩷”
“Jennifer is super attentive to my cats. She made sure the kitties are well fed and cared for. She was committed to checking in on the cats even during terrible weather conditions. Would recommend her and book again!”
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: Greyhound lady with over a decade training and caring for dogs, including certifying two rescued racetrack greyhounds as therapy dogs through Bright and Beautiful Therapy Dogs. I've cared for five rescue dogs over the years — four greyhounds and a pug mix — handling everything from puppy adjustment to senior care, including medications, mobility needs, and end-of-life support. I use calm, positive-reinforcement handling and I'm skilled at reading a dog's stress or comfort level in real time, so walks stay relaxed and enjoyable. I'm also experienced with nervous or reactive dogs, having safely de-escalated an unleashed dog confrontation while working a mail route. My own dog takes 1.5 hours walk per day. We love Donaldson Park and the Highland Park Meadows, Johnson Park, Cheesequake and Morristown National Park for treats. Safety comes first on every walk. I read each dog's body language and comfort level before we even leave the door, and I adjust pace, route, or duration accordingly — a skill I built training two rescued greyhounds as certified therapy dogs. I stay alert to hazards like other loose animals, traffic, and extreme heat, and I know how to calmly de-escalate a tense situation if one arises. I treat every pet with the same patience and care I give my own rescue dogs, and I communicate clearly with owners before and after each walk so they always know how their pet is doing.
“Kimberly was just great.She was there on time treated our dogs with love as if they were own.Our dogs don't warm up to strangers all that well, but after the 2nd day they were fine with her.Would definitely use her again. She also sent pictures every day.”
About: I've been dog walking, sitting, boarding for over 10 years now! I had my German Shepherd Rony for 10 years and my life changed the day we brought him home. Because of him I have a super active lifestyle. I live to go on walks, hikes, runs, and love to explore new places and go on adventures! I've taken care of puppies that need basic training all the way to senior dogs that need extra care. From the smallest pups all the way to giants - I adore them all!! I am working from home, so your pet will always get endless love, belly rubs, walks, and anything and everything else they love! Having had my German shepherd that I trusted only a handful of people to take care of him, I understand the level of trust a pet owner must have for their pet sitter / walker, and I know I can be that temporary companion for them! :) hope to meet your pup soon!! I'm currently working from home so I am very flexible on walks, daily care, and pup sitting! I do request for dog sitting to get an early heads up as we love adventuring during the weekend. But if pet owner is ok with it, I would love to bring your pup along for the adventures!! :) I have a big fenced yard for plenty running and playing fetch, but I never leave your pup unattended! If needed, and your pup is crate trained I have different sized playpens and crates. I understand it takes every pup a different amount of time to get used to a new environment and I work with every pup individually. Just like humans, everyone has their own personality :)
About: I've been walking dogs since I was 15 years old, when I built my own client base doing walks and drop-in visits for families while they were away. That early experience taught me how to read a dog's personality fast and earn their trust from day one. Since then, I worked as a receptionist at a veterinary clinic, where I learned a lot about dogs' medical needs — from spotting early signs something's off to understanding how to safely support pets with health conditions. I'm excited to get back to hands-on care and bring both my years of walking experience and my vet clinic knowledge to your pup. I'm off consistently on Tuesdays and Saturdays, so I have full flexibility those days for walks, drop-ins, or sitting. On the days I do work, my schedule can vary, but I'm reliably free by 5 pm at the latest — often earlier. I get my work schedule 3 weeks in advance, so I can confirm exact availability early and plan around recurring bookings easily. I keep a calm, consistent routine so pets feel comfortable whether we're in my home or theirs — sticking to their regular feeding times, bathroom breaks, and playtime. I'm comfortable administering basic medications, having done so for my own dog in the past, and my vet clinic background means I know how to recognize signs of illness or distress and when something needs extra attention. I'm also good at reading individual personalities and take extra care with shy or nervous dogs, since my own dog was the same way — I know how to build trust at their pace. Your pet's safety and comfort always come first.
About: I currently have a mini bernadoodle named Piper. She is two years old and I have had her since she was 10 weeks old. What sets me apart is that I love her as much as my children and she has a piece of my heart. I make sure she is safe and happy every single day. I currently working fulltime but I am able to pet care weekdays, weekend mornings and evenings. I am flexible so if there is a day of the week and time you prefer feel free to ask and if I can make it work, I will be there. I am in the process of moving, so I can not have pets in my home after June 2026 but at someone else's home, your pet is my priority. I will make sure they are fed, exercised and loved.
About: What sets me apart is my patience, compassion, and genuine love for animals. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities. From energetic puppies who need extra attention, patience, and guidance to senior animals who may need more time, gentle care, and understanding, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I treat every animal like family and give them the same love, attention, and respect I would want for my own pets. Whether they need playtime, extra cuddles, a little reassurance, or simply someone patient enough to move at their pace, I’m there for them. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m able to dedicate time throughout the day to walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and giving each pet the individual attention they need. I understand that pets thrive on consistency and routine, so I make their care a priority and do my best to keep them comfortable, happy, and on their normal schedule. I’m also patient and flexible when a pet needs extra time, attention, or special care—whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior pet who prefers a slower pace. I care for every pet as if they were my own, while respecting their individual personality, routine, and comfort level. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions carefully and keep their normal schedule as consistent as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of love and attention. I also treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would give my own. My goal is for both the pet and their family to feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for.
“Ella was amazing with my pup! Ella does check in’s for me while I’m at work and my dog is not the easiest to handle sometimes. She is scared of everything and does not cooperate with new people without me around but Ella was so patient and got my dog to love and trust her quickly! By the third day my dog was running around the yard with her and eating all her food. When I go to the office I know my dog is in good hands and I don’t have to worry. Ella is a great dog sitter and truly cares for the dogs she is watching.”
About: I've grown up with dogs since I was 10 and have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs, sometimes two or three at a time! I’ve also looked after cats, so I’m comfortable with a variety of pet personalities and needs. With over 5 years of pet sitting experience, I’ve learned to be highly attentive to each pet’s unique routine, behavior, and comfort level. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and the joy I find in spending quality time with them! Whether it’s going on walks or just relaxing together, I always do my best to make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I work a 9–5, so my availability is mostly weekend centered with holiday exceptions! However, I am open to short term care after 5pm on weekdays and I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets are cared for properly! I follow each owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if applicable), and any specific care needs. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision while keeping owners updated with messages and photos throughout the stay. My goal is to make pets feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while giving owners peace of mind while they’re away!
About: Being a pet caretaker is an integral part of my life, as I work part time as a veterinary technician, and hope to be a future veterinarian! I have experience training service dogs in training as well as large animal experience. I definitely have a passion for working with dogs! I have the patience to work with dogs of all ages, including special needs. I have no problem working with animals of all shapes,sizes and temperaments. My schedule is pretty much flexible and I have means of transportation to wherever you may need! I am also pet First Aid and CPR Certified from Pet Tech. Pet care is one of my passions in life and I’d love the opportunity to meet your four legged friends! Pet care is basically my life, as I work at a veterinary clinic! I also work part time at a local pet store, and of course I take care of my sweet dog at home! I unfortunately do not have a fenced in back yard, but live in a suburban area next to many parks and trails! I love going on adventures with my own dog and would love to meet new friends and include them.

I can’t tell you how reassuring it is to go to work knowing Rafaela will be stopping by to check on Blu! She has been absolutely amazing from the start. She’s incredibly flexible, reliable, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. The fact that she’s also a dog trainer is such a bonus because she truly understands dogs and their needs. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing Blu is in such good hands. And most importantly, Blu absolutely LOVES her! You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. I’m so grateful we found her and couldn’t recommend her enough!
Georgette is the BEST! She took great care of my bunny and sent me lots of pictures of him playing with her. She was super responsive and even came over to meet Theo before booking. On top of this, I came home from my trip and my bunny’s pen was so clean! She went above and beyond on everything!! You can tell she truly cares about animals. Will definitely be using her again in the future! Thank you Georgette! 💗🐰😊

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Old Bridge is $31 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $40 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.

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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

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.
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.
