“Jessica did a great job caring for Luna. Luna is quite shy and nervous around new people, but she felt comfortable and accepted Jessica right away, which was a huge relief for us. There was a last minute change in the overnight arrangements due to a personal matter, but Jessica communicated this and ensured Luna was well looked after during the day. We were happy to see Luna calm and will be booking her again.”
“Kayla took great care of our pup!! He is a bit nervous with new people but warmed up to her quickly and they became fast friends. She gave us great and consistent updates that made us feel at ease when we were away. We came back to a clean house that looked just as we left it.”
“Carly was the BEST with our Ivy girl! She was so attentive and she wanted to make sure she followed all our instructions. She sent us daily updates constantly which I truly appreciated. So grateful for her! Thank you again, Carly!! Would love to have you watch ivy again!”
“Brooke was excellent with our small dog, Hildie. She took her out very regularly and gave detailed and frequent updates. Very happy with her care and she also was very respectful of our home as well! Would definitely book Brooke again.”
“Miranda is an excellent dogsitter and a truly lovely person! Great communication by text with daily photos as well. Will absolutely recommend her to anyone in need of care for their beloved pets and home! So happy we found her!!”
“This is the second time that we’ve used Erin to house sit our dog Rocky. Erin is awesome!!! She responds right away and always keeps us updated on her visits. Erin is now our go-to dog sitter. We will definitely be using her in the future. I highly recommend Erin for all of your dog sitting needs.”
“Erinn did a great job caring for our two big dogs at our house and keeping us updated and connected while we were traveling. We will definitely seek her help when we need it in future.”
“Thanks to Vanessa, we had one less thing to worry about during our recent trip. She took great care of the boys and a few things around the house. Logistically, her work place being close to our house, gave us the assurance that she is closeby if needed during her working hours. The boys loved her so much, they went crazy when she had dropped by later to collect a few stuff she had left behind.”
“If there were 10 stars ( 10 being the highest) , would get a 10. She was on time, provided updates, did the necessities and played with the pups. - and the place was clean. Would definitely book her again!”
“My husband and I recently had a 5 day trip planned and were struggling to find care for our 6 year old dog and our young puppy ! I was super anxious about leaving them for the first time but after meeting with Jessica and Guillermo I immediately felt at ease. Jessica was super communicative and sent lots of pictures throughout the day of our pups! I never had to guess what they were doing and both the pups had a blast! Jessica was also very respectful of our home, we came home to everything clean and put together just how it was before we left. Our puppy is a huge chewer and she ended up chewing a little bit of our carpet, Jessica immediately informed and showed me, and it was wonderful to have someone so transparent and honest about anything they happened while we were gone. We will absolutely be using them again for our next trip! (As long as they’ll have us) haha.”
“We are SO happy with Jennifer’s diligent, patient, & loving care of our little girl — we feel we hit the jackpot finding her! After the sudden passing of our two beloved dogs last year, we were anxious & apprehensive about leaving our recently adopted (also anxious) dog for the first time on a trip. Jennifer alleviated all anxieties, was wonderful about checking in and asking questions, respectful of our home, went above and beyond. Plus our hard-to-crack little egg absolutely loves her! Many many thanks to Jennifer; we feel confident leaving our little girl in the safety of her care.”
“Jordyn did a great job caring for my westie in my home while I was away for a week. She sent updates and pictures. He was well cared for. When I returned home, Jordyn made sure everything was in perfect order! Linus misses her already! We’ll be calling Jordyn again! I highly recommend her!”
About: I have 7+ years experience with my moody fur baby. and have been actively sitting for my friend's dogs and cats. Its just me and my baby at home so your special one will get ample amount of love and attention. I am available at home 24hrs on Monday & Tuesday. (And occasionally on weekends) For any other days i am available only after 8PM . My own baby is very moody and requires a lot of attention .But i have trained her well. Pets have full freedom in my house and i allow them on my furnitures too. There have been times where my baby only ate when i fed her from my hand. Its the same feeling i get when I feed babies. That sense of motherly love is what I like to give to all fur babies too.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ranging from different sizes and breeds since I was 17. Neighbors, friends, and coworkers have trusted me to walk, feed, and play with their dogs, and as a lifelong pet owner myself, I understand how crucial it is to have peace of mind when leaving your pet with a sitter. I’m attentive, empathetic, and detail-oriented, making sure every pup feels safe, loved, and comfortable whether it’s energetic walks, cuddle time, or sticking to their routine. I work full-time but am available after work for walks, drop-ins, play time, or feeding, with flexible care to fit your pet’s needs Friday through Sunday. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priority! I treat every pet like family, providing safe, loving care in the comfort of your home. I’m hyper vigilant of my surroundings, making sure all doors and potential escape routes are secured, while following your instructions closely to keep your furry friend happy, calm, and secure.
About: I’ve been caring for animals since childhood and previously had 2 dogs of my own. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and providing calm, loving care to both dogs and cats. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs and personality. I have a structured but flexible schedule that allows me to reliably care for pets before and after work, as well as on weekends. I prioritize clear communication and consistency so pets feel comfortable and owners feel at ease. I create a calm and safe environment by following the pet’s usual routine and the owner’s instructions. I’m attentive, detail-oriented, and respectful of both the pet and the home, treating each situation with care and responsibility.
About: As a dog mom myself, I truly understand how much trust it takes to leave your fur baby with someone else. What sets me apart is the way I treat every dog like my own—with patience, love, and attention to the little things that make them feel safe and happy. I have experience with different breeds and temperaments, and I’m especially good with shy or anxious pups who need extra TLC. I’m currently a student and off for the summer, which means I have a super flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the care and attention they deserve. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m around and fully committed. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, I focus on creating a calm, loving, and safe environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions—so they feel secure and at home. I give lots of attention, cuddles (if they enjoy that!), and keep their space clean and stress-free.
“Gabby stayed with our 15 year old, newly diagnosed as diabetic, cat hunter for 4 days. She made sure he received all of his meds, including insulin injections, as instructed. Gabby sent photos and text updates throughout each day. Additionally, she took Hunter to the vet twice to receive his scheduled fluid treatments and made sure his litter box was cleaned daily. We arrived home to a clean house & a happy Hunter. Gabby is very personable, timely & a pleasure to know. I highly recommend Gabby as a responsible, professional & caring pet sitter.”
“Samantha was absolutely fantastic with our dogs, Lila and Cash. From the moment we met her, we felt comfortable leaving them with her. She’s reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. Lila can be particular and Cash is still a puppy with plenty of energy, but she handled both of them so well. We came home to two happy dogs and had total peace of mind while we were away. We wouldn't hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog sitter 💕”

Kayla took great care of our pup!! He is a bit nervous with new people but warmed up to her quickly and they became fast friends. She gave us great and consistent updates that made us feel at ease when we were away. We came back to a clean house that looked just as we left it.
Shannon did a really good job caring for our two dogs, one elderly and one young adult. Both dogs had special needs - either a lot of attention and exercise or some medication, and she was very attentive and caring for our pets She is a very responsible person and we are very happy to have found her!
This was our first time using Rover and to have someone stay at our home so safe to say we were a little apprehension. Our initial meeting with Cori really put us at ease. Cori quickly became besties with our younger, somewhat skiddish pup and our older pooch settled right in. She kept us updated and let us know if there were any issues. We'd highly recommend Cori and would certainly use her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Parsippany-Troy Hills
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Parsippany-Troy Hills on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 17,919 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Parsippany-Troy Hills. 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 Parsippany-Troy Hills 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 Parsippany-Troy Hills 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 Parsippany-Troy Hills 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.
