“Abigail is an amazing kitty sitter! She really went above and beyond to make my shy cat comfortable. I came back to a clean house and happy cats. Will definitely hire again!”

“Lisa was excellent. She took great care of the varied needs of my cats. She made it easy to go on vacation. I came home to happy well cared for cats, mail brought in and garbage can brought up driveway.”
“Brady was AWESOME! She was willing to come for an intro visit to make sure she was okay with Abby and vice-versa, and for us to go through all our instructions, key-leaving, etc. And she faithfully showed up and spent time with our little girl, who was clearly not stressed because she was in great spirits when we got home. She even sent us photos so we could see how well she was doing. So grateful for the peace of mind so we could relax and enjoy our trip without worrying whether or not Abby would be in good hands. We'll definitely hire Brady again next time we need a cat sitter!”

About: With over a decade of devoted pet care, I've nurtured furry friends like family. From daily walks to happy petting sessions, I provide the love that keeps tails wagging. Pets are treated like family here, so they have a home away from home, when you can't be with them. --If any dates are blocked out/closed for the dates you are seeking (especially for dog walking/drop ins), please reach out to me via message and we can see if we have options available. -- I'm a stay-at-home dad that gets to hang with the kids and pets! There is plenty of play time and walk time so everyone thrives. I have a fenced in yard with two friendly dogs that love to play and run. Pets are like family here so they can also hang with us inside or play as much outside as they want.
“Courtney has been great with our two senior dogs. One is blind, and she’s so kind and patient, always making sure they get outside safely and without stress. We feel really lucky to have found her for days we need to be away for a bit!”
“Kristen took great care of my puppy Emma on short notice, she gave me great updates and was super easy to communicate with. Will definitely be using her to care for Emma in the future!”
“Words simply cannot express how grateful I am for Ami and James. Ami went wayyy above and beyond for us and our fur babies. They sent me messages when they were enroute to our home which put my mind at ease. Then, photos and/or videos were "worth a thousand words" as the saying goes. Ami is literally a lifesaver. I will definitely be booking again. (Thanks again, Ami.)”
“We feel so fortunate that Bethany cared for our cat and our plants! She immediately earned our trust and kept in touch with just the right amount of communication, making us feel reassured and connected while we were away. We came home to a happy cat and plants that looked even better than when we left. We hope to have Bethany visit again in the future!”
About: I have taken care of a lot of dogs over the years but now I'm looking for a new adventure with Rover. I promise the best for your dog I currently have a job but having another dog around the house or a dog to go and walk would not be an inconvenience at all We have a Yorkie at home and she pretty much does whatever she wants. Your dog would be treated exactly the same. She gets along with other dogs very well and knows how to handle herself around larger dogs

Lisa took care of Milo with lots of love and attention while I was away she made me feel comfortable leaving him for a week. This is not the first time I have booked with Lisa and because of the wonderful care and attention she has consistently provided, it certainly will not be the last! Thanks, Lisa! Karen & Milo
Amira is super responsive and flexible - I had her do drop-in visits for an elderly kitty 2 years ago and she amazingly was able to have positive nteractions with a rather cantankerous old gal. This time she took care of the needs of 2 newer-to-me kitties who are extremely shy with strangers, but she covered all their basic needs and even left Churu out for them each day, despite them never showing their faces (their loss, for sure!). It was such a relief to know that they were in good hands while I was away. Hopefully next time they'll be braver!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Pennington on Rover is $26.64 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 5,329 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Pennington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Pennington stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pennington. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
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.
