“Jennifer was amazing at taking care of our babies and home while we left town for a week to visit family! They usually take awhile to warm up to people but they seemed to adjust fine and happily with her company which made me feel so relieved!! I was so happy with all of the pictures and updates since it was our first time leaving them for such a long trip, we would definitely love to have her come back and visit Charlie & Henry again :)”
“It’s was the first time we used Engenii. I was nervous for that reason but he was reliable. IDABELL loved him and seemed to enjoy her vacation at home. He send us pictures daily and took care of any emergencies that a raised . We would definitely use Engenii again and are grateful for this service ❤️.”
“Angelina was super reliable! I’m a nervous dog mom, so it was nice to know that Yoko was in good hands. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our girl. We’ll definitely be booking her again soon.”
“This was my first time using Rover, and let me just say Kortni took away all of the worries and anxiety that I had. She is truly one of a kind. She sent pictures and updates throughout the entire trip. You can see the love she has for pets! I would highly recommend her to anyone! She’s the best!”
About: I've taken care of dogs (either my own or pet-sitting) for the past 15 years. I have had many friends and family members rely on me to keep their pets fed, walked, played with, and loved while they are out! I also have experience with senior dogs, giving medication etc. My work schedule is fairly flexible, so it's super easy for me to fit pet care into my daily/weekly routines! I keep my home clean and safe for pups to venture around. I will send lots of pictures so you know your pet is happy and well taken care of. I have a fairly flexible full time job where I am able to work from home as needed. Additionally, when I need to be in person it is usually only for a few hours maximum. So I have plenty of time to be playing with and caring for your pups! I live in a very walkable neighborhood with lots of great spots for fur babies to use the bathroom and get their exercise in! I spend a lot of time after initial drop off trying to make your pet as comfortable and relaxed as possible! I'll also send you lots of pictures to alleviate some of the stress of leaving your pup with someone else. I spend a lot of time giving the pets I care for the same love and attention they would receive at home.
“Kimberly was wonderful and such a great help at the last minute! She gave great updates and photos of my puppers day. Would highly recommend and look forward to using her again!”
About: I’ve been around animals all my life and wouldn’t want it any other way! I currently have one rescue dog of my own, having sadly lost one of our pups three years ago. I regularly walk several dogs in the local area, and do regular drop-in visits for a family with three cats, when they go out of town. I also have experience caring for senior cats and dogs. I will always keep you updated with photos/videos promptly after each visit or walk. Rest assured, I will treat your fur babies as my own! My schedule is flexible and I am available most days, including weekends, depending on prior booking commitments. Caring for your pets is always my priority! I am mature, reliable, and responsible and will always treat your pets and your property as I would my own. I will check on your pet’s welfare first and foremost, then will keep them well loved and entertained throughout my visit/walk!
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life—I grew up with two Shih Tzus and currently have a super energetic 1-year-old cockapoo named Wrigley. Because of my experience with different ages and energy levels, I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I have a genuine passion for dogs and love taking them on long walks, playing fetch, and doing everything I can to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, happy, and completely loved while in my care. As an elementary school teacher, my schedule gives me the ultimate flexibility to care for your pets! Since I have summers completely off, I have open availability during the day to accommodate your routine. Whether your dog needs mid-day walks, playtime, or full-day care, I'm easily able to adapt and am always open to last-minute bookings to support busy pet parents. Whether I am caring for a pet in their own home or mine, my top priority is safety, comfort, and routine. In a client's home, I carefully follow all directions given by the owner regarding feedings, medications, walks, and nap schedules to keep your pet feeling secure in their familiar environment. I also treat every client's home with the utmost care and respect.
About: Hi, I'm Krystina! I am a 30-year-old passionate pet lover with over 10 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. Animals aren't just a job for me—they are a central part of my life. As a dedicated pet parent myself, I understand how deeply we love our fur babies and how important it is to find someone you can completely trust when you're away. Whether your pet is staying in your home, joining me for a quick afternoon stroll, or settling in for an extended stay while you travel, they will be treated exactly like a member of my own family. I pride myself on providing the same level of love, attention, and spoiling that they get from you! Flexible schedule for dog walking and house sitting! I can adapt to your pet’s needs and keep them happy, active, and comfortable while you're away! 🐾🐶🐱🐾 I provide safe, reliable, and loving care in your pet’s own home environment. I do not currently offer boarding and do not have a vehicle, so my services are focused within a 5–10 mile radius of Edison, NJ. I’m available for house sitting, and dog walking while keeping your pet’s routine comfortable, familiar, and stress-free. 🐶🐱
About: Just know that with me - they will get plenty of cuddles and lots of belly rubs! Dogs are not just our pets I consider them family! I was truly blessed to have taken care of not one but two amazing family members who have since gone to doggy heaven. I had taken care of Scoobs from the day he was born until his very last breath when he was 15 years old so I do have experience with senior dogs. It brightens up my day to see the joy on their face as I walk through the door. I truly have missed that so I can't wait to take care of your fur-baby and I will treasure them and love them as if they were my very own. I am currently on a hybrid schedule as I work from home Mondays and Fridays which is when I could normally take care of your fur-babies and I'm available some weekends as well. In your home I will make sure that they are always safe and make sure that they feel truly comfortable with me. I will honestly care for them as if they were my very own.
“Laura watched our dog at our home while we were away for a few days. She did an excellent job with our dog and treated our home with respect. We will definitely reach out in the future when we can't bring our pup on trips! Highly recommend Laura”
“Honestly one of THE best sitters. So patient and listened to everything I said. I was a little worried about leaving Ollie with someone who he doesn’t know but Hadija calmed ALL my nerves and was the best sitter I could’ve asked for. Sent me pictures, which I really appreciate it!!! Will book again!”
“Cordelia was absolutely amazing with Gracie! She was incredibly attentive, followed all of our instructions to a tee, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She consistently checked in and sent photos, which we really appreciated—it was such a comfort to see Gracie happy and relaxed. It was clear she was well cared for and truly loved. We’d gladly book with Cordelia again—highly recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Parlin
Kelly was absolutely excellent. We had her stay overnight with our cats, including one who had recently had a medical emergency, for four days. She was diligent in providing updates, sending photos, and making sure our kitties felt loved. We will absolutely be using her again.
Julia was an incredible sitter for Polo over Christmas week. From the moment we booked, she was communicative and thoughtful, excited to spend time with him. Throughout the stay, she sent regular updates and photos. Polo can be a sensitive little guy, but he warmed up to her and Julia kept his routine consistent, gave him tons of attention, and made sure he got plenty of playtime and snuggles. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands during the holidays. I would recommend Julia without hesitation and will absolutely book with her again!
Amazing sitter!! My dog is on medications and it's always so nerve-wracking for me every time I have to leave him. Well, not with Megan on board! She's incredibly attentive, and she carefully and expertly handled every aspect of his care. I was beyond impressed! Not only that, but her connection with and love for animals is truly remarkable. I've never seen my dog so relaxed with anyone! My dog was smitten with her within minutes of arrival, and you know that dogs just know when they've found an excellent human! Megan is very sweet and very kind to both humans and animals, and is 1000% trustworthy with both the care of your furbaby AND with having her in your home. Absolutely amazing sitter. Highly recommended without hesitation!
I highly recommend Rafaela. She’s very careful, friendly, responsible, and on time. We even booked a couple of training sessions since my dog isn’t crate or potty trained yet. She was great with our pet, we are very excited! Her prices are also very reasonable.

FAQs for House Sitting - Parlin
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Parlin on Rover is $42.18 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 14,940 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Parlin. 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 Parlin 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 Parlin 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 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!
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.

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.
