About: I pride myself on my deep passion for working with dogs and ensuring, even when you are away, that they feel loved! For the last several years, I have been entrusted by neighbors, friends, and family members to watch and care for their beloved pets. My dedication to their well-being has earned me a solid reputation as a reliable and responsible dog walker. I am here to help you and your furbaby, please message me if you have any questions. As a college student home for the summer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to incorporate pet care into my daily or weekly routine seamlessly When providing dog walking services, I ensure that each visit includes a refreshing walk tailored to the dog's needs, including exercise, bathroom breaks, and mental stimulation. I also make sure to provide fresh water, offer treats (if allowed), and give them plenty of attention and affection. As an owner myself, I understand how import it is to maintain open communication with the pet's owner which includes providing updates and photos to keep you informed and reassured of your pet's well-being.

“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 taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old. I grew up with a German Shepherd named Eva, the love of my life. While a sophomore in high school, I began working at a dog daycare called Pups@Play Montclair. That job gave me invaluable knowledge of dog behavior and relationship dynamics. I learned the intricacies of their behavior, body language, personality, whether they were high energy or low energy, active or reactive, etc. I used that to diffuse many doggy disputes. I worked with and managed 50+ dogs everyday. Daschunds, puppies, mutts, great danes, shepherds, samoyeds, bulldogs, pitbulls, hairless, everything. I can handle any dog I meet. You can trust me to handle your dog with care, happiness, love, understanding, and patience. I am fit and ready to play! Dogs hold such a special place in my heart and I can't wait to meet yours! I am a student at Rutgers New Brunswick and my schedule currently has me free after 5pm on weekdays and any time after 9am on weekends. I can potentially be available if there is a special circumstance but that is by no means a guarantee. I do not currently offer boarding services. If I were to offer boarding, your dog would be comfortable, happy, hydrated, and well-fed. Have a great day, talk to you soon!

“Laura provided excellent service and communication regarding our cats while we were gone for 9 days. My 2 senior cats need daily medication (oral pills and topical cream) and Laura was comfortable with this situation. When we booked our vacation, months ago, they didn't need any medication, so finding the right sitter leading up to our time away was stressful for me, but Laura was great and helped me feel more at ease while on our big family vacation. It turned out that one of my cats would hide with each visit, which I'm sure was annoying to manage, but Laura stuck with it. We can't thank her enough for caring for our aging cats!”

About: I have over two years of professional experience working with dogs and have been a dog owner for more than 15 years. I believe in allowing dogs to approach at their own pace and building trust through patience and understanding. I have experience caring for puppies as well as dogs with behavioral challenges. I am the owner of Outreach Dog Walking LLC. I’m a college student with flexible availability. The only times I’m unavailable are Tuesdays before 1 PM and Thursdays. I live at home, so overnights at my home aren’t an option, but I’m happy to stay overnight at your home if needed. I am capable of handling multi-dog families. Due to my background, I'm used to seeing sibling sets of 2-3, despite never personally owning more than 2 dogs at 1 time

About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 7 years old, when I got my first dog. Over the years I've cared for dogs of different sizes, breeds, ages and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets. As a mom, I'm responsible, patient, and used to keeping a busy household on routine. I'm comfortable following each dog's individual routine and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. When your pet stays with me, they'll be treated like part of the family. I work during the day, but my grandmother is home all day, and my son is home after school and loves animals. Pets will have plenty of company throughout the day while I'm at work, and I'll provide their walks, playtime and attention before and after work. Overnight boarding is welcomed! I have a fenced yard where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time, along with a comfortable home environment. I'm happy to follow your pet's routine and can crate your dog if needed or preferred.

About: I am single woman traveling regularly. When I am not on the road I love having pets around and taking care of them and playing with them. I would like to sit at their own place more than having dogs at home but I will try that. I’m currently working three hours in the afternoons. I have plenty of time to take long walks with a dog or play inside with them. I am living in a fenced house at the moment with plenty of room for running in the backyard. I can also fit a couple of crates if needed.

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!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Parlin

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Parlin is $23 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $29 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 20,918 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Parlin. 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 Parlin 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 Parlin 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 Parlin. On Rover:

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% 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.
