“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!”
“We have used (and commented) Brady in the past who is always great. Adding another review because I felt like she went above and beyond for us this time. On the second day of our vacation our dog was sick and showing signs of a UTI. Brady graciously took our dog to the vet to be looked at, got her started on new food and even gave her medication that wasn’t anticipated. Additionally she had to deal with and clean up several accidents that occurred but always did so graciously and was very communicative during the whole ordeal. We eventually came out early but were so grateful for Brady.”
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.
“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!”
“Devon was great with our dog Oden. He warmed up to her quickly and her dog Layka. She sent plenty of pictures and updates about him and even walked him during the storms. She also played with him inside to get more of his energy out. She was very attentive, which we appreciate. We will definitely book with her again!”

“Naomi took wonderful care of our dog Stella! She was on time, very responsive, and sent lots of great photos! We wouldn't hesitate to have Naomi take care of our dog in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 18 years. I currently have two dogs that run my household. I’ll treat your pups like they’re my own. I work from home 4 days a week, so if your pup is here with me, they’ll never be lonely. They have access to my fenced in yard at any time. I have two dogs that are very friendly and a large fenced in yard with a 4 foot fence. I’m happy to stick to any routine that your dog is used to.
“Ruth did a superb job with Domino. I loved receiving the pictures for the drop in visits. I also appreciate the messages of how the visits went. Domino has a new human friend! ?❤️”
“Again, Heidi helped us to take great care of our cat. Our cat loves her and really enjoyed her care and loves playing and cuddling with her. In particular, we also enjoyed to get Heidi’s daily video updates of our cat. Thanks!”
About: I am an animal lover and have had pets my whole life that I have taken care of. I currently have a dog and cat of my own and I have owned freshwater tanks, horses, a leopard gecko, and have provided care for numerous animals in their homes as well for others. My animals take oral medications so I am familiar with specialty care and am comfortable providing the same to your furry (or otherwise!) family members. I have also worked in a holistic pet store with a focus on healthy nutrition for cats and dogs. I ride horses and have since I was 7 years old competing in ApHC national and world shows. I have provided medical needs to horses as well! I am currently working part-time, so I am available for drop in visits and walks each day of the week including weekends. I can do early mornings in very unique circumstances. I am unable to care for additional pets in my own home however, I am available to do visits to your home multiple times a day with updates to you so you feel comfortable leaving your pet for an extended period of time.
“James was very attentive to all of our pups needs. He was also very flexible as some of our plans had changed on the fly. He was patient (Cash can be skittish) and made sure he was well taken care of. We would recommend James for any pet care needs!”
“From the time Linda did the meet and greet to the actual visits, all 3 of our pugs sucked right up to her as they could tell she truly is an animal lover. She did a great job with them and we couldn't be more pleased with the job she did. We would highly recommend her and would not hesitate to use her again! Thank You Linda!”
About: I’ve been privileged to grow up with dogs since I was a little girl. We rescued Katie, our beloved 11-year-old dog, when she was a puppy. She’s such an important part of our family and brings so much joy. Following years of being a preschool teacher, I’ve been a dog walker for a decade, which has allowed me to share my love for dogs with other families. As part of my dog walking career, I also gained experience taking care of a diabetic dog. Please don’t hesitate to reach out—I’d love to meet your adoring pet! I’m an empty nester and available every day during the week to walk and take care of your pet. I can also help out on most weekends. If I have never cared for your pet before, I’d come to your house to meet you and your pet and discuss your expectations and learn about your furry family member. Whether you’re looking for someone to provide food, exercise, playtime, medication or just caring company, I’m happy to help.
“Mirella did a fantastic job pet sitting our two guinea pigs over Christmas. One of our pigs is elderly and has health issues, and Mirella handled them very professionally and compassionately. We felt so much better traveling knowing that our pigs were in good hands at home. Thank you!!”
“Jeffrey was on time and very attentive to our dog. We greatly appreciated his updates and photos. His reliability and caring for our dog gave us peace of mind while we were away.”

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 of Pet Sitting in Pennington is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $43 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 5,315 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Pennington. 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.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pennington. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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 .
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.
