“This is the second time Chris watched our dog and cat. 100 stars! She is so kind and compassionate and sends me multiple pictures and messages while we are gone. Highly recommend!”
“Kai and Devon were great pet sitters for us during the week that we were away on vacation! They communicated well with us and provided updates on how our pets were doing. They kept our house clean and even took the time to wash sheets, towels, and blankets before they left. Overall they did a great job for us and we would definitely book them again!”
“Terry was absolutely Amazing!! She took great care of our 2 fur babies, sending photos and videos daily to update us on how they were doing while we were away. I was very anxious to leave our 2 cats with someone new, as our previous pet/house sitter is no longer in the business and we had not used someone new in many years, I have put off traveling due to this, much to my husband's dismay. I can say I was so relieved while away to see how great Terry was with our pets. I also think when we got home our house was cleaner than when we left! Terry did a fabulous job, she went above and beyond and now I'm ready to travel more feeling comfortable that we have found our new pet caretaker! I cannot recommend her enough!!”
“Joining in on all the great reviews for Heather. She stayed with our two pups for two weeks while we were on vacation. Her care for our dogs allowed us to relax and not worry about home. It's a bonus to have someone who will do overnights and be a house sitter as well. Thank you Heather, so much!”
“This was our first time using the Rover app, and we couldn’t have had a better experience thanks to Izzy! She was absolutely amazing, so caring, attentive, and clearly great with dogs. She kept us at ease by sending frequent photos and videos, which we truly appreciated. We felt completely confident knowing our dog was in such great hands. We highly recommend Izzy and will absolutely be using her again!”
“Michaela took excellent care of my dog and cat while we were away. She took the time to meet us beforehand, provided thorough updates and we came home to happy pets and a clean apartment. Thank you, Michaela! Highly recommend!”
“We had a wonderful vacation thanks in part to the awesome care our elderly dog received from Jamiah. She was attentive, informative and respectful of our dog's needs and of our home. We really appreciated the text messages and the photos that Jamiah sent daily. Thanks for helping us travel with peace of mind!”
“Jenni was great with our 5 dogs. She would updates and pictures every day. Even got a video. Everything went smoothly. We will definitely use them again. I would highly recommend her.”
“Allie was great with our girl Yeti. She did everything we asked and more. Thank you for taking such good care of our doggie! I would highly recommend Allie for future dog sitting needs.”
“Debi is wonderful! This was another stay for our girl Piper with her, and once again we felt completely comfortable knowing Piper was in such caring hands. Debi is warm, attentive, reliable, and genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. She also took great care of our home and grounds and sent wonderful pictures and updates throughout the entire time we were gone.It means so much to be able to leave Piper and not worry about her—and Piper is always happy and comfortable with Debi. We’re so grateful to have found her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their dog. Thank you, Debi! ❤️🐾”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Anna! We have an older dog that needs a little more TLC and Anna handled everything like a pro. Came home from vacation to a clean house and a happy dog.”
About: Hey! My name is Conan and Im a veterinary medicine student. I love working with animals of all types and sizes and I'd love to meet your friend! I have experience fostering and volunteering at animal shelters, including everything from dogs, cats, bottle-fed babies, elderly kitties, reptiles, ducks, chickens, special-needs dogs/cats, and birds. I am FEAR-FREE certified for dogs and cats as well! I have a few years of experience dog walking and I have house sat for people with all different pets & for varying amounts of time. I also have two cats and a leopard gecko of my own! They are my best friends and whole world. I'm currently going to Vet school full time several days during the week, but I'm available Friday through Monday for bookings. When house sitting I can spend as much time as is needed in the home for walks, playtime, any cleanups, potty breaks, etc. But I do prefer to sleep in my own home because of my two cats who need me at night. However I am flexible and if your pet has a specific need or doesn't do well being alone certain times of day we can work to accomodate that. Your pet's safety is a non negotiable for me, it is so important to me that your pet feels comfortable with me no matter what we're doing. Establishing a bond with an animal can be the most rewarding experience in the world! When talking about safety with any pet, I take a precautious approach with anything that could become an 'oops!' or a 'hey you, get that out of your mouth!' moment. So I will always take precautions with anything being left out unmonitored like toys, food, anything chewable, stringy, or soft toys, etc. I never want to have to think twice about a preventable accident with your pet, so I always take the time to keep everyone safe. This goes especially for walks, your dog or cat's safety is always going to be at the front of my mind when interacting with any other furry friends nearby, as it is always better to be safe than sorry. Every pet needs a different relationship approach, and different play styles! There are some pets who just want to cuddle, ones who need specific play-styles to be interested, and others who need someone up to the task of frizbee-ing the Tasmanian Devil out of them! I know personally one of my cats only wants to lazily swat at one specific toy he keeps losing, and the other wants to run and leap around for 20 minutes straight. I am dedicated to learning what your pet really likes so they have a great time with me, and you can go to work, over a friends, or on vacation without a worry that they living their best life.
“Cole was not only incredibly responsible and responsive, but he was also extremely friendly and personable. Our dog is a bit of a handful, but he handled every situation with grace and understanding. He also did additional cleaning after house sitting, which was very appreciated. Highly recommend Cole and we will be using him personally in the future for all of our pet sitting needs! 💕🐶”
About: I have a house where I can provide individual or group care for dogs. I co-own a dog named French Fry, who has been a significant part of my training experience. I am available for boarding on weekends, starting Saturday morning and continuing until either Monday or Tuesday evening. Additionally, I have availability during certain holiday periods. I have a partially fenced-in yard and a metal crate available for dogs if needed. I follow any instructions that pet owners provide. I have a peace and calm environment for dog care.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Penns Grove is $57
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Penns Grove
Chris was excellent! She took great care of Lance and kept us informed. Chris had to deal with him wearing a cone and needing daily medication. She did both of those things with no fuss and allowed Lance to stay in his home while we were away. The daily photos were very reassuring. We wouldn't hesitate to use Chris again whenever the need should arise.
Oh my gosh!! Sharielle is absolutely amazing!!! She went above and beyond with communication (I mean she’s the best at everything). My pup stresses so much when I’m away and he was so happy and comfortable! If she’ll have us I’d absolutely reach out to her again! No brainer five stars, I’d give more if I could!
Nick was extremely patient with our very recent rescue who was experiencing quite a bit of anxiety when we had to leave her for an out-of-town obligation. She gave him a pretty hard time for the first 24 hrs but he persevered and surely won her over! Thank you! We are very grateful for his great service!

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 Penns Grove 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 Penns Grove 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Penns Grove 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
