“Clarissa is awesome! Very reliable and will go the extra mile. Our dog Maddie had an accident over night and Clarissa was kind enough to clean it up. Highly recommend”
“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!”
“Kristie was very kind and caring with my little dog who is afraid of strangers. She loves animals and is very patient with them. We are very lucky to have her as our dog sitter!❤️”
“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!”
About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life and have always had a passion for caring for animals. I currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I also help care for my elderly dog with special needs, giving me experience with senior pets who require extra patience, attention, and gentle care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply lots of cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. My Rover availability is updated monthly as I receive my schedule. You can always check my monthly calendar for my current availability and see which dates I have open. I’m available weekdays and weekends. Or message me if you are in a pinch and I can try and accommodate you! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to maintain your pet’s routine, so I’ll follow your instructions closely to help them feel relaxed and at home. Whether that includes daily walks, feeding on a specific schedule, administering medications, bathing, playtime, or simply spending quality time together, I’ll make sure they receive the attentive care they deserve.
“Kayleigh was fantastic! She went above and beyond with her drop-in visits for our cat. She made sure to give him attention and love with updated daily pictures, and even cleaned up after him when he threw up. Could not recommend her enough!!”
“Ashley is an awesome pet sitter! We left our kitty (who has never been left alone before) in our home for 5 days. We felt apprehensive leaving Koori but Ashley was excellent! She was consistent, attentive to all of our cat’s needs and very knowledgeable. She also took time to try and befriend our shy cat. We highly recommend this sweet pet sitter!”
About: If your pet could choose their sitter, I’m hoping they’d pick the person who is already excited to meet them! I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, and I’ve always had a soft spot for the furry members of the family. I haven’t been able to have pets of my own for a while, so I’ve happily adopted my friends’ cats and dogs instead—affectionately calling them my **“furry nieces and nephews.”** I’m the person who wants to hear all about their personality, remembers their favorite treats, and is perfectly happy spending an unreasonable amount of time giving them attention. Last year, I took that love a step further and volunteered at a local animal shelter, where I spent my time walking and caring for dogs. I absolutely loved it and realized that getting to know different animals—and figuring out what makes each one comfortable and happy—is something I genuinely enjoy. What I think sets me apart is that I don’t see pet sitting as simply stopping by to feed a pet and check a box. **I want your pet to actually have a good time while you’re away.** Whether that means a long sniff-filled walk, an energetic game of fetch, a cozy afternoon of cuddles, or simply sitting nearby for a nervous pet who needs some company, I’m happy to meet them where they are. Every animal has their own personality, quirks, routines, and preferences, and I love getting to know them. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, loved, and completely spoiled—and for you to feel confident knowing they’re in good hands. I’m looking for a flexible way to spend more time doing something I genuinely love, and I’d be thrilled to add your pets to my ever-growing list of furry nieces and nephews. ❤️🐶🐱 One of the best things about my schedule is that I work two part-time jobs, and both are very flexible. This allows me to build pet care into my day and offer visits at different times rather than being tied to a traditional 9–5 schedule. I’m available for morning and evening visits during the week, with even more flexibility on the weekends. I can also make multiple visits throughout the day when your pet needs a little extra attention. My typical availability looks like: Mondays & Wednesdays: I have the most flexibility and can usually stop by up to three times throughout the day. Tuesdays, Thursdays & Fridays: These days are a little busier, but I can still provide a morning visit and an evening visit after 4 PM. Weekends: I have more flexibility and can make multiple visits throughout the day depending on your pet’s needs and location. I know every pet has a different routine, and I’m happy to work with you to create a schedule that keeps your pet comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Whether your cat needs a quick morning check-in, some evening playtime, or multiple visits throughout the day, I have the flexibility to make it work. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for a pet in their home, I treat their space and routine with the same respect I would want for my own home and animals. I take the time to learn your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, litter box or potty routines, favorite toys, hiding spots, and any quirks or behaviors I should know about. I know that cats especially can be sensitive to changes, so I try to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I’m also very mindful of home security. I make sure doors are securely closed, follow any instructions regarding alarms or entry, and am careful with windows, doors, and anything else your pet might get into. I’ll never leave a pet in an unsafe situation or do anything outside of the care instructions you’ve provided. Most importantly, I want you to feel comfortable knowing that someone trustworthy is looking after your pet and your home. I’m happy to send updates, photos, and little check-ins so you can see how your furry family member is doing while you’re away. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own home—and for you to have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Dogs are part of the family! They deserve care from someone who truly understands them. I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and dog mama myself for 5+ years, bringing years of first-hand experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including anxious or reactive pups. My approach is calm, patient, and attuned to each dog’s individual needs. Having worked in the medical field, I’m also confident caring for dogs with medical needs or special care requirements. Your dog gets my full attention! I’m currently on a career break and can't wait to meet all the local pups! I understand how important it is to know your special furry-friend is well cared for when you're away. I also know how unpredictable work and travel can be, and I’m happy to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible. When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is maintaining their comfort and routine. As a dog-mama and homeowner myself, I treat every pet and home as if they were my own. Things will be kept things tidy and secure, and every pup will receive the same love and attention I give my own dog. Whether we’re out on a walk or relaxing inside, I focus on safety, calm energy, and clear communication so that you always know how your dog is doing.

“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 never not had a pup; from bull mastiff and Rottweilers as family pets to a much smaller poochon I've been a dog owner and lover my entire life. I've been lucky to have multiple dogs make it their teen years and have experience caring for a high anxiety dog with severe separation anxiety. I work fully remote with the ability to take your pet out for bathroom breaks as often as they need. I can also provide 2 shorter walks in the morning and at lunch with a lengthier walk in the evening. Your pup will never be alone in my care! They will get plenty of exercise and more cuddles then they can count. We have the ability to crate/gate your pet in a safe place in our home if needed. Easily able to separate pets during feeding if there are any food aggression issues.
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.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and come from a family of rescue lovers. I currently care for my own rescue dog, who has severe anxiety, and caring for him has taught me a lot of patience and how to recognize each pet’s different personalities and needs. While I’m new to Rover, I’m excited to get started and build meaningful relationships with both pets and their owners. A little about me! I work as a therapist during the week. Outside of work, I love reading, staying active, trying new coffee shops, and spending time with friends and family. I truly enjoy caring for others—whether that’s people or pets! I take pride in making sure your pet feels loved and comfortable while you’re away, and I always try to leave your home just as I found it (or even a little tidier). I know how much our pets mean to us, and I’ll care for yours like they’re my own. I work during the week, primarily on Tuesday through Friday mornings and evenings. Since I work virtually some days, I have flexibility in my schedule as long as I have a quiet, confidential space for my clients. This allows me to be available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the week when scheduling permits. I'm also fully available Saturday through Monday and enjoy spending my free time with animals. I'm happy to care for your pet in your home, take them on walks around the neighborhood, or visit local parks for exercise. I know that every pet has different routines, personalities, and comfort levels, and I can adapt to their/your needs.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Phillipsburg
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.

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 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 .
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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise

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 .
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.
