“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!”
“Cheryl made me feel comfortable right away. We have a very playful, stubborn Samoyed puppy. Cheryl’s gentle presence and training background really made me feel at ease! Penny had a great time playing!”
“Carly treats my dog as she would her own. She’s patient toward my shy pup and puts in extra effort to make her comfortable. I feel very assured Layla is in great hands when I’m working and would recommend her in a heartbeat.”
“Brady did an excellent job caring for our pets while we were away. I was a little nervous leaving them since we recently moved and our German Shepherd Dog recently tore her CCL and this was their first visits with Brady. We had nothing to be concerned about though as Brady was so attentive and careful. She kept us in the loop with detailed reports, lots of photos and spent extra time giving love and attention to both our dog and our cat. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Sabrina is kind, calm, and gentle. We have 2 pets that are shy and skittish around new people, but Sabrina was able to get them to come around and feel comfortable. We'll definitely ask Sabrina to take care of our fur babies again!”
“Outstanding. That’s one word I can use to describe Josh. I have two dogs. One is very old, 13. I’m always worried about my golden retriever when I’m away. Josh sent me pictures that reassured me that the older dog was OK daily. He also vacuumed up dog hair, which was a pleasant surprise to come home too. The daily walks and the daily visits are priceless. Thank you Josh!! If you’re looking for a dog sitter, or a realtor Josh is your man. Very pleasant demeanor and very organized. With this type of work ethic, you can’t go wrong with Josh. Thanks again from my family! Tk”
“Kat is absolutely wonderful with our dog Maggie. She is reliable, communicative and clearly cares about Maggie’s well-being. It gives me great peace of mind knowing Maggie is in such good hands while I am away!”
“Taylor was amazing with our dog Oden! He is sometimes reactive to new people but they became fast friends!! He was very communicative and quick to reply. He sent pictures and updates about each visit and even brought in our mail!! We will definitely be booking him again! Thank you so much Taylor! We appreciate you so much.”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Joanna and the care she provided for Isla! She was not only incredibly flexible under my circumstances but also warm, compassionate, and attentive to Isla’s needs. Joanna sent updates, including adorable photos, which really put my mind at ease. She even played fetch with her in the yard. Isla was so happy and I’m so thankful she got some enrichment. Joanna went above and beyond to make sure Isla felt loved and safe, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I highly recommend Joanna to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter! Will absolutely book again. :)”
“Ashley was amazing. She came the week before to meet us and the dogs. She confirmed appointments, gave us an update after the visit and sent pics. We love her and will be using her again!”
“We were thrilled to be able to book Bethany again to care for our cat Roscoe. She is super communicative, dependable, and trustworthy. Roscoe would love to see her again 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.)”
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.
“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!”

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.
