“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.”
“I had a great experience with Raysa watching my cats over the weekend. She was very friendly, reliable, and clearly loves animals. She took excellent care of my cats, making sure they were well-fed, comfortable, and happy. I really appreciated that she took the time to play with them during her visits — it gave me peace of mind knowing they were getting attention and care while I was away. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”
“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: 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.
“Alexandra was great! She communicated her visit timing and updated me on Luna and her activities. I also was given a few cute pictures that made me feel relieved that she was doing well and in good hands. Will definitely book her again!”
“I was unexpectedly admitted to the hospital. Sara was already booked and we had met as I had planned to go away. She modified the booking x2 and my girls seemed happy. There were a few items we reviewed that I felt could be improved and Sara appreciated the feedback. I will use Sara again and hope to give her 5 stars.”
“Miah is fantastic! We can trust our pets are well taken care of. She is reliable and responsive and we can recommend her for a drop by or overnight sit. She will be our go-to sitter when we need to be gone.”
About: I provide a calm caring and reliable experience for dogs of all ages. I have hands-on experience working with energetic puppies helping with basic training routines and plenty of playtime as well as older dogs who need a gentler pace, patience, and attentive care. Whether it is keeping up with a playful pup or supporting a senior dogs comfort and mobility I focus on creating a safe stress-free environment where every dog feels understood and well cared for. Pet care fits well into my routine because I'm a stay at home mom with a flexible schedule. Morning walks and feedings can happen alongside getting the kids ready, while midday visits offer a natural break and a chance to reset. Puppies bring energy and short training moments, while older dogs fit well into calmer, more relaxed periods. Overall, it blends easily into my daily home life without needing a separate schedule. I enjoy going on walks, going on hikes, and engaging in fun playtime with pets. I am comfortable handling feeding and daily care to keep your pets happy and well looked after. I will care for your pets with the same love and attention I give my own.
About: I’ve had pets in the home my entire life. From dogs,cats,reptiles,chickens,birds,fish,etc I care for pets as though they were my own. I’ve done in home and clients home pet care. I love sending Moms & Dads pictures of their fur baby having fun in my care. It's important your baby is happy & comfortable. While giving great care, it gives you peace of mind your baby is in the best care until you return. I work part time(2 days a week)and have a flexible schedule. Love being with furry friends. They give life so much joy. Love taking pictures to send to Mom and Dad on my visits. Our fur babies are our family & having someone who really cares about your pet makes a huge difference. I love to take walks & Hike on local trails & if your baby is up for it, I'm happy to take them along. Follow exactly what owner does for their pet. Be patient with furry friends. Always keep a close eye on pets. Make sure their schedule and routines are as close to Mom and Dads as possible to help keep pet comfortable and less stressed
“Chelsea has been such a wonderful addition to our regular schedule ! She is friendly, reliable, timely, and detail oriented. She promptly fills us in on any important happenings throughout her visits. Most importantly she takes such good care of our Sadie girl, and we are so thankful 🙂”
About: I've been an animal lover my whole life, and pets have always gravitated toward and trusted me. I would love to take great care of your precious fur babies while you're at work or on a trip! I am available to walk or drop in on early mornings, at lunch time, after work, or on weekends. I am also available for house sitting! I am very punctual, patient, and communicative. I am also very respectful of my client's homes and am very careful in always making sure the door is locked when I leave! I am excellent at following instructions as well!
About: I’ve had years of experience, with my own pets and others of all ages and it would bring me nothing but joy to help you. I currently work from home at the moment and have plenty of free time to help however and whenever your best friend would need me. Growing up I had 3 dogs and so many other pets and I still have 3 cats after recently losing my last dog at 18 years old. I have loved animals all my life and I would love to share the love and help I can give to you and your pets.
About: I’ve lived with at least one pet my entire life, and have come to understand that a furry presence is one of the things that makes a house a home (or, at least, one I want to live in.) Most people would describe me as that person at the party who would most likely be hiding under the table making friends with the host’s terrified Siamese mix, if that gives you any idea. I have the most experience with cats, but I love meeting dogs, rabbits and especially birds! I am also happy to consider barn/stable work, not just for equines but for goats, sheep, llamas… whatever! I love the exercise. Hope to meet your faithful companions soon! I’m currently working from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible. Definitely not an early morning person though, so I won’t be available until 9am. I will treat your home with respect and care, and take meticulous care of your property as well as your pets. Neither my very senior dog nor my deaf, older cat are fond of furry visitors, so watching your pets in my home isn’t an option.
“Nicole was wonderful to work with! She squeezed a meeting with us into her schedule on short notice and made sure to take good care of our 2 dogs while we were away for 2 days. She even found a ride with a friend when her car broke down, to make sure our dogs weren’t left alone too long. You can tell she cares about dogs deeply and will treat your pets like her own.”
About: I've spent years caring for my own pets as well as those of friends and family, which has given me experience with a wide range of personalities and care needs. From energetic dogs that need structured exercise to more relaxed pets that prefer quiet companionship, I «dapt my approach to make each animal feel comfortable and secure. I am around all day and can take care of your pet anytime. With having experience caring for my own and others animals I will a great fit for your pet I can come to your home and care for your pet when you can’t. I am use to giving pets medicine and caring for pet health issues

I was very nervous about leaving my 18 year-old Pomeranian mix with someone I don't know personally. Kristen was great! She did everything she said she was going to do and then some. The communication was great and she always sent me pictures to see how things were going. I would absolutely call her again.
Sydney was amazing! We had a last minute family event and she was quick to help us out. It was so nice to keep Oakland in our home where she is relaxed and comfortable. I got lots of pictures and updates which just really allowed me to enjoy my time, stress-free. Our girl had a few accidents out of excitement but Sydney handled it and even sent me pictures of where they were so I knew for when I came home. I can't say enough great things about Sydney and we are relieved to know we have someone for the future if she's available. Punctual, on-time, and overall will care for your pet with compassion.
Another great experience with Brittany! I’m so glad I found her on Rover. My dog is always happy and well taken care of when he’s with her, and it makes leaving him so much easier knowing he’s in good hands. Brittany is great about communicating and keeping me in the loop, and I always come home knowing everything went smoothly. She has definitely become someone I trust and will continue to book with whenever I need someone to watch him. Highly recommend Brittany!
I was unexpectedly admitted to the hospital. Sara was already booked and we had met as I had planned to go away. She modified the booking x2 and my girls seemed happy. There were a few items we reviewed that I felt could be improved and Sara appreciated the feedback. I will use Sara again and hope to give her 5 stars.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Phillipsburg is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $36 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 2,460 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Phillipsburg. 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 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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
