About: I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs since I was a kid. There has always been a pet in my house while growing up. My family has relied on me to feed and play with the pets while they were away. I additionally have experience in caring for both young and senior pets. I’m currently working part-time, which means I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available most days except for Wednesday & Thursday afternoons. My schedule is pretty flexible so I can accommodate if needed :) I currently have one cat in my home. I feed him, give him affection and play with him everyday. We also have a dog that lives at home with us. I take care of him when his owner is busy.

“Boryana took amazing care of our senior pitbull, Brady. She was very patient with his quirks and eccentricities (e.g. he has acquired a habit of lying down for rests mid-walk). He often seems a little out of sorts after we come back from a long trip, but this time he was very relaxed and happy. Communication was top notch and our house was left in perfect condition. We can't recommend Boryana highly enough, and hope she'll be available to take care of Brady again in the future!”

“This is the second time I have used Rita for overnights in my home. This time Rita stayed in my home with my 13-year-old beagle for over a week. He has anxiety so I can always tell how his care was by how he behaves when I get home. I am happy to say that Jack was so calm and content when I returned, which tells me he felt loved and cared for. Thank you Rita!”

“I had to take a quick trip out of town on business so I left my four month old Great Dane puppy with Ginny and Mary. They had previously done a couple of drop in visits with her. I left A LOT of instructions, but they did everything that I asked, including getting up at 2 AM to take her out to the bathroom. When she developed a tummy issue the communication was fantastic. When I got home, my Zoey couldn’t decide who she liked better, me, or Ginny! I’m very grateful for the care they gave her.”

“Kimberly was incredibly patient, caring, and helpful while working through our cat’s anxiety and stress around taking medication. Kimberly took the time to understand our cat’s needs, stayed calm and was reassuring. We truly appreciated their compassion, dedication, and willingness to work with our cat rather than simply giving up when things were difficult. We would absolutely recommend Kimberly to anyone looking for a thoughtful and dependable pet sitter!”

About: Need a trusted sitter for your furry friends? I bring a lifetime of experience to your doorstep! Growing up in a household with five Shih Tzu-Poodles, I learned early on what it takes to keep pets happy and healthy. I’ve also successfully cared for French Bulldogs and understand their unique breed requirements.I proudly offer loving, attentive care for dogs, cats, and bunnies. From energetic walks, calm stays and specialized feeding routines, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Reach out today to schedule a meet-and-greet! I am available to look after your pup at any time of the day or night. Because I am always around on my pet sitting days, your pet will receive constant attention, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of companionship.To ensure your pup feels right at home, I just ask that you provide a clear description of their daily routine and care needs (feeding schedules, bathroom habits, or special quirks) when booking! I live in an incredibly welcoming, pet-friendly apartment complex surrounded by a safe, quiet neighborhood. My apartment itself is spacious, clean, and has plenty of room for your pup to stretch out, play, or curl up for a nap.Outside, we are blessed with beautiful green spaces and walking paths right at our doorstep, making it easy to go for long, leisurely walks.

About: I have over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for a 60 lb Labrador Retriever, whom I raised from puppyhood. During that time, I learned how to understand dog behavior, body language, exercise needs, and daily routines at every stage of life. I also have experience caring for cats and understand that every pet has its own unique personality. I take the time to build trust, whether a pet is playful, shy, or needs extra patience. Although I no longer have my Labrador, the experience gave me a strong foundation in responsible pet care. I treat every pet as if they were my own, following each owner’s instructions carefully to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m a faculty at Rutgers, and most of my teaching is online, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend a lot of time at home. This makes it easy for me to provide pets with regular attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I plan my schedule to ensure every pet in my care receives consistent supervision and the care they need. I live in a clean, pet-friendly two-bedroom apartment near downtown New Brunswick. I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable, and calm environment where they can relax and feel at home. I follow each pet’s regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s normal routine to help reduce stress. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and regular updates with photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe and well cared for.

About: Hello! My name is Andrea, and I absolutely love dogs (and, not to brag, but the feeling is usually mutual!). I’m currently home full-time after pivoting from a 24-year career in drinking water safety following my second cancer diagnosis. I’m thrilled to say I’ve been cancer-free for almost three years—and working with dogs has brought me more joy and fulfillment than I could have imagined. Our household includes me, my husband, and two young adult children—one away at college in Texas. We share our home with two lovable pups: Lua, a 10-year-old Boxer/Plott Hound mix, and Nacho, a 9-year-old Basset Hound. We have a spacious fenced-in backyard, and when the weather is nice, we often keep the sliding door open so the dogs can come and go as they please. We love those days when the yard is full of happy pups running and playing—it feels just like our own private dog park! Dogs who stay with us have full run of the house, and they’re welcome to get cozy on couches and beds. If you prefer certain rules for your dog (no furniture, staying off certain floors, etc.), I’m happy to follow your guidelines so their routine stays consistent. In addition to hosting dogs in our home, I also enjoy cat sitting, dog walking, and providing doggy day care when needed. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved—so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands at “camp.” I’ll send daily photo updates so you can see how they’re doing, and I guarantee they’ll head home happy, well cared for, and ready for a good nap! As a policy, we request that all new dog clients who plan to stay overnight have a meet-and-greet at our home first. It’s a great way for both humans and dogs to get to know each other and for us to discuss your pet’s needs so we can make their stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible. If you want, I can also make you a shorter, eye-catching version for your Rover “About” preview so it hooks people before they click to read the full profile. That way you get both a great first impression and the full detail for those who want to know more. Pet care is my entire day. I am fully devoted to my and your animals. My schedule revolves around your needs and can accomodate any request or need. We are a household of 4, myself, my husband and two young adult children. You can see from my profile photos that everyone in our house takes part in the care and loving of your animals. We all love it!

About: I’m on Rover to help you out with any / all your pets needs while you’re away! I work full time as a student analyst in a public school. I don’t dog train, but I am familiar with any techniques that you may need for your pup! I have 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own. I have experience with all breeds! All mutts and senior pups are welcome. I also have experience administering medication to dogs. All dogs of breeds and age deserve attention and love. I’d love it if you let me love your pets as if they are my own too! Thank you for reading this. I am able to work with the families in terms of what they need. My calendar may not always reflect accurately as my times with my full-time job (human) clients do fluctuate. If it is blocked off it means I am 100% unavailable. I don’t recommend myself in terms of full-on puppy training and 24/7 puppy care due to my schedule but I am versed in the training techniques due to my career. I am available weekends for extra care and staying in your home full time. My pets are well loved and taken care of while I care for others. I will never be able to host in my home, so please consider this! I offer in home care, overnight, daily walks, and check ins. Animals will not be hosted in my home due to a senior dog I have who is on medication. For those reasons, home sitting is only available in terms of long care. I have done walks, trips to stores, parks, yard play, and car trips with fur babies for daily drop ins, walks, or overnight stays!

FAQs for House Sitting - Perrineville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Perrineville is $17 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $17 per night. 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 2,662 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Perrineville. 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 Perrineville 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 Perrineville 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 Perrineville 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 , 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 .

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Perrineville. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
