“We recently used Clarissa for the first time, and we are very happy with the experience! Our dog was well cared for, and it was clear Clarissa genuinely loves animals. Communication was excellent, and we received regular updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our dog seemed happy and relaxed when we returned, which speaks volumes about the quality of care provided. We highly recommend Clarissa and will definitely be contacting her in the future!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Margaret is a wonderful pet sitter! She is very caring, reliable, compassionate and flexible. Margaret is our only and first pet sitter and I am so grateful for her. She is our official pet sitter and I am sure our kittens Bella and Beau will not have it any other way!”
“We were relieved to find Agnes who we trusted with our two puppers for several visits during our wedding! She checked in and was great with sharing photos to let us know they were safe!”
“Kristie watched my dog for 10 days and was very sweet with her. My dog was very upset about me being away and Kristie sat with her and kept her company and pet her everyday.”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for animals. I treat every pet like family and understand that each one has their own personality, routine, and comfort needs. I’m dependable, attentive, and focused on making pets feel safe, happy, and loved — whether it’s a long walk, cuddle time, playtime, or simply keeping their routine consistent while you’re away. My current routine gives me the flexibility and availability to provide dependable, attentive care for pets throughout the day. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, which makes dog walking and pet care a natural fit for me. I’m able to dedicate quality time to each pet, maintain consistent schedules, and make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I care for pets with patience, consistency, and lots of affection, whether they’re in my home or theirs. I make sure they stay on their normal routine with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention so they feel comfortable and secure. I keep a clean, safe environment, pay close attention to their behavior and needs, and treat every pet like they’re part of the family. Communication with owners is also important to me, so I provide updates and photos for peace of mind.
“This was my first time away from my cats for so long and Gretchen was very attentive to us and our cats, she took care of them as if they were her own and that gave us peace of mind during our trip. I'm grateful for all the help she gave us.”
“Super happy with Karen. Our kitty is a bit of a challenge but Karen made fast friends with our Rozee. Karen took great care of her and we would not hesitate to ask Karen to sit for Rozee again. Karen is a very caring person and she took great care of our Rozee.”
“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 !”
About: I think animals are to be loved and treated like they are part of the family! Growing up I had 5 cats, 4 guinea pigs, 3 hamsters, 2 mice. Currently I have 2 cats of my own and I love them so dearly. I'm currently in-between jobs so I have pretty much full availability at the moment. Weekends are good for long term relationships, but we can figure something out if you need care on weekdays! I can go to your place and feed animals, scoop cat litter boxes, take dogs for walks, play, cuddle, pretty much anything you would need me to do, just let me know!
“Excellent sitter! Came at last minute notice for us, as our original plan failed. She let us know of all issues and any she thought might be a problem, our cats really enjoyed her presence as well! And they have a sense of people, human and cat approved!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes including my own GSD and my wheaten terrier from 8 weeks old to adulthood. I also have experience babysitting my best friend’s Doberman and my mom’s pittie mixes. I currently work full time but I get up early to make sure my dog gets her walk and is fed twice a day. We also hike often on the weekends and lead a very active lifestyle. We currently have a fenced in yard and lots of backyard space to play. We also have the convenience of living in a neighborhood with lots of sidewalks for safe daily walks.
“Rachel is absolutely fabulous. She took care of our two young female cats while we went to the beach - I think they had as much fun with Rachel as we had on vacation! They were well cared for, played with, their needs were more than met and we had great piece of mind. Highly recommend!!”
About: My family has had a pet dog for my entire life. More recently I adopted two older dogs from the area shelter and provided them both amazing years of love and comfort. I am a client support contractor which allows flexibility in my daily schedule to care for your pet needs. I have availability generally on shorter notice. Pets are family. I will follow your specific requests to address any concerns, individual behaviors and unique pet personalities. Each of our special friends deserve it.
“Liz is an amazing person. Very polite and easy going. She is truly amazing with my puppy, and I can tell how much passion she has towards animals. I'm so grateful for meeting her. I would highly recommend her for any needs you might have in assistance with any of your loved ones!!!”

Jessenia - kept us updated on everything our sweet furboy did. She even waited for him to finish up his breakfast. Pictures made my heart feel at ease as we were away. If you’re looking for peace of mind regarding your fur baby care don’t hesitate to have Jessenia do the job!
Kristie was excellent ! We met for the first time when she came to the house to meet the pups. All of them LOVED her, even our shy guy immediately took to her. She was kind, easy to talk to and great with all of our dogs. We will absolutely hire Kristie again if she will have us ! Thank you Kristie !
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!

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:
- 92% 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.
