“Fantastic job as always! I’ve booked Agnes to watch my cat twice while I was on vacation and she does an excellent job. When I come home my cat is always happy and healthy.”
“Kristie took great care of our cat - we came home to a friendly loving feline. Kristie even braved a snowstorm to take care of her and was kind enough to leave the light on for us as we were arriving home late. Details make all the difference. Highly recommend her”
“Gretchen was wonderful! Our first time hiring a pet sitter and she made us feel much more at ease about it. She showed up, did everything asked of her for our 2 dogs, 2 cats, & 2 aquariums. I felt she was very capable of administering insulin to our newly diabetic kitty. Kept in daily contact providing updates and many pictures which is always reassuring. Even sent photos of our chickens which we did not hire her to provide care for. <3 Looking forward to having her come help with our fur babies in the future.”
“Clarissa was great with our cats. They are not terribly social with strangers but she was so patient with them and they did come around by the end of the week. We got updates and pictures everyday. Will definitely book again for our next trip!”
“She made three visits a day to our house for our dog and cat. They loved her, and she did everything perfectly including giving our dog plenty of walks and giving her her medicine. We will definitely be asking her to come watch our pets again in the future!”
“Tea was amazing with my two kitties! Her updates were great and she always sent me wonderful pictures :) was also super prompt with any questions or concerns. Will definitely book again to care for my animals :)”
“Jessenia did a great job and was great about updating us when she was checking in our dog. It was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience. Thank you Jessenia for making us feel so comfortable!”
“We have rebooked Hannah several times to watch our cat, Rocco. She always does a great job! Thorough report and pictures provided at the end of her visit. She’s a great choice for a pet sitter!”
“Ray was an incredible help while I was on vacation. She went out of her way to find out what my cat Yoda liked doing for fun and spent time playing with him every day. She also sent me a ton of adorable pictures and videos of Yoda. It was very clear that Yoda felt very comfortable with her. I will definitely continue using her for my petsitting needs!”
“The girls seemed to have a very good time with Devyn. I definitely would scheduleDevyn to take care of the girls again. She brought them each a new doggie chew, which they really seem to like. They carry them around all day. Thanks Devyn.”
“Erik did a phenomenal job looking after my cat Cali and brought me a ton of peace of mind while I was traveling overseas. While my cat has never been very social outside of her immediate family, Erik ensured she was alive and well daily and kept her well taken care of on the food / water / litter box front. I would highly recommend him for anyone’s pet sitting needs and would gladly rebook him next time I head out of town.”
“Casey was wonderful with our two dogs! She was not just helpful but also extremely caring and respectful. Our older dachshund requires a bit more attention and Casey was so patient with him. She sent us timely updates and lots of photos during her visits and we could tell how comfortable they both were with her. She was great to communicate with and really put our minds at ease while being away from our dogs. We cannot recommend Casey enough and would love to have her come see the boys again soon!”
“Angelique took great care of our dog and two kittens. She went beyond by ensuring one of our kittens wore a cone to prevent her from tearing open a scab from recent spaying. Thank you Angelique !”

Karen was my cat sitter this past week while I was on vacation. She did great work. She feed my cats regularly, kept the litter boxes clean and gave them some well deserved scratches and sent photos of them daily. I will definitely use her for future cat sitting.
We had another great time away knowing that our little Pomeranian was in good hands with Kristie. She gave consistent updates while we were gone and made sure that she was taken care of. She also took care of a few extra things like bringing in the mail and taking out our trash bins while we were gone. We recommend her for your next sitting needs!
Thank you Emily for taking such great care of Nova! Being the first time I needed someone to check in on him I was for sure nervous, but Emily was amazing and helped me feel very at ease. I loved the pictures she sent me to keep me updated. And she even helped clean a mess Nova had left in my kitchen. I got to enjoy the time away with my daughter knowing he was in good care. I will definitely use her services again, amd recommend her to others as well!!! Super super sweet girl.
Liz is absolutely phenomenal. I usually have anxiety about leaving my cats to take any trips, but Liz absolutely put my mind at ease the whole weekend we were away. The wonderful photos and communication were so appreciated and made me feel better about being away from my fur kids. I can tell they loved her because I came home and everyone is calm and happy and I think they really enjoyed their own little vacation! We will definitely be asking Liz to take care of them again soon! Thanks so much Liz! You’re the best!

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Phillipsburg on Rover is $19.26 per visit (as of August 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 .

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 Phillipsburg 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 Phillipsburg. On Rover:
- 93% 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.
