“Christina is such a sweet and caring person whom I trusted completely with Harley. She took care of him for 3 separate days. She was prompt and followed my instructions and sent updates and pictures throughout the day. She was available for all the days I needed her for. She was courteous and kept everything in my home neat. She is such a pleasure to work with, and I know Harley was so happy to see her. I definitely plan on hiring Christina again when I need someone to take care of Harley. Thank you!”
“First off, let me say from a very anxious dog mama to leave her babies, Rover made this entire experience seamless and very professional. Kasper was a godsend. Kasper took the time to meet my dogs prior to the booking. Kasper took every concern I had and made sure it was addressed. Not only did Kasper communicate through the whole booking, I received pictures upon pictures of my dogs. There was not one point in my time away when I didn’t know what was happening at my home and felt 100% secure. Kasper was beyond kind and loving to my dogs and I will definitely be using Kasper again. Anybody that needs someone to come and stay with your dogs in your own home, Kasper‘s the best. 150% satisfied and 200% endorse booking with Kasper!!”
“Pamela was amazing. She took great care of Penny and was very reachable and communicative. Thanks for the pictures and all the good snuggles Penny got. Happy pup when we got home!!”
About: I’ve recently moved to NJ about two years ago. Prior to moving here, I have walked many many dogs including Great Danes, Samoyed, German Shepherds, Yorkies, etc. On occasion I would cat sit my friend’s cats whenever they go on vacation. I love ALL kinds of animals, but do the best when they’re friendly to humans. Im high energy and like to be out going, so I do prefer dogs with lots of energy to play, walk, or run with! I’m a college student working part time over the summer. Despite that, my job is very flexible and I can move things around to fit whatever works best for you. My Saturday & Sunday are busy from 4pm-11pm and my Mondays and Thursday are busy from 11am-10pm, but I can move things around if needed. I only ask that I would get a week in advance notice! I absolutely love playing with animals. I’m high energy myself and seeing any animals happy makes my heart melt. I would take probably hundreds of photos of the fur balls! I work best with animals that are already tamed or don’t bite. I’m also very good with following any type of instructions and would ask questions to sort out any concerns prior to pet sitting.
About: Ive taken care of people's pets while they were away. I even stayed at their house. I am trustworthy and reliable when it comes to taking care of people's pets. I'll make sure the animals are well taken care of especially pets that are older. I currently work full time at a nursing home kitchen as a dietary aide. I usually work 6-2. Tuesdays I work 10-7:30. The only days I am off are Thursdays and Sundays. So anything after 3 is fine and Thursdays I am available all day. I will care for your pets with love and affection. I will walk your dogs and feed them. I will also play with them to get a feel of how they interact. As for cats I will feed them and play with them as well. I enjoy rewarding them with treats.
About: For as long as I can remember, dogs have been one of the greatest joys in my life. I have been an avid dog lover my entire life and have been fortunate to raise and adopt several wonderful dogs throughout my journey. Every dog I’ve had has taught me something special, and I truly believe our pets are cherished members of the family. My life has taken me from the beautiful Pacific Northwest to spending 20 years in the California desert, and now I’m excited to call the Toms River, New Jersey area home. One of my favorite things about living here is enjoying the incredible wildlife and beautiful scenery on long walks. I currently share my home with two senior rescue dogs who absolutely love their daily walks. Caring for senior dogs has given me experience with patience, gentle handling, and understanding that every dog has unique needs, routines, and personalities. Whether your pet needs a dependable sitter while you’re away, plenty of cuddles and companionship, or an enjoyable walk filled with fresh air and new sights, I’ll care for them with the same love, attention, and respect that I give my own dogs. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy—and to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member and look forward to making lots of new four-legged friends here in the Toms River community! I work remotely and can tailor my schedule around other commitments easily. It is not a problem for me to leave my work for a few hours to tend to a pets needs. I am highly responsible and will watch over your fur baby as I watch over my own. I have never had a lost pet or had a pet escape my presence. I have completed dog training courses and know how to responsibly handle a pet.
“I cannot recommend Bryan highly enough! He cared for my two dogs, including my elderly dog with special needs, for ten days and did an exceptional job. My older dog requires extra attention and patience, and Bryan handled everything with kindness and professionalism. He kept me updated regularly, followed all care instructions, and made sure both dogs were happy and comfortable. It was such a relief to know they were in good hands while I was away. I will absolutely book him again in the future!”
“We were sooo happy with Chelsea.. She treats Bella as if she were her own!!! And Bella loves her ❤️🥰 She’s a pure gem and I will definitely use her again for sure!!! Thankyou Chelsea!”
“Nia was so thoughtful and caring with our dog, Jiffers! We booked Nia for an overnight service in our home and we couldn’t be more happy. She sent us picture updates throughout the day and kept us informed on how he was doing. Highly recommend!”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I'm working part time im available Mondays and Thursdays from 11am to 5pm I can check up on your pets and if needed I can walk them You can definitely trust me with your animals I'll treat them like they are my own animals are like humans they need just as much love and care anyone else needs
“Meg was absolutely wonderful with our pups! They loved her the moment they met her. She is definitely a dog person. Meg took pictures of the pups during walks and when they were lounging in the living room. They looked so relaxed and chill, not looking as if they were anxiously missing us. She was very diligent in her care for our pups. We have two senior dogs, and one has special needs and she handled them as a pro. We are looking forward to having her watch them again.”
About: I am 26 years old from New Jersey, I have a bachelors degree criminal justice, a masters degree in forensic studies. Over my lifetime I’ve had five dogs I’ve had. Two golden retrievers, a black Labbe, German Shepherd and now I have a rescue golden retriever mix. My love for dogs undeniable and I love spending time with them and being able to care for them and exercise and enjoy quality time outside is something that I take seriously. I’ve had dogs from puppy stage to senior stage and will always treat all animals the same and like they are my own. I currently work 8 AM to 4 PM. I usually leave my house around 6:30 in the morning and return home by five with potential of going to the gym.. I am able to take care of dogs before I go to work and after I go to work and on the weekends. I treat all dogs like they’re my own as far as taking care of them. I take my dog myself on several walks a day feed them two times a day as far as roaming the apartment and or my parents house they have the opportunity to do both.
“Rodney did an excellent job taking care of our dog while we were away. He kept us updated with messages and with pictures and we felt very comfortable with his services. I would highly recommend Rodney to anyone that needs a dog sitter. If ever I need a dog sitter again Rodney is the one I would call”

About: Ive cared for my own pets and many friends pets mainly dogs throughout my life. From puppies to senior dogs. Never met one I didnt love. I run my own small planning firm so my schedule is very flexible. I am available during the week day or night for walks and pet care. I am happy to come to your home and play with your fur baby and also attend to any of his or her needs, feeding walking petting medication.
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I had the pleasure of owning my Golden Retriever, Ginger, for 13.5 years, during which time I provided her with training, socialization, and a loving home. Through my experience with Ginger, I learned the importance of understanding each dog’s unique personality, needs, and comfort level, as well as the care and attention that larger breeds require. Today, I continue my passion for caring for dogs through my local dog walking business, where I provide reliable and personalized care for multiple repeat clients each week. I have experience working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, and I understand how important it is to maintain their routines and make them feel safe and comfortable while they are in my care. I also have my own Golden Retriever, Bella, who is a friendly and social pup who loves meeting new dogs. When boarding, I prioritize finding the right match and only accept dogs who are comfortable in a home environment with Bella. My goal is to provide every dog with the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own pets. I treat every pup like family and strive to create a safe, happy, and welcoming home-away-from-home experience. I work remotely Monday through Friday, which gives me flexibility during the week to care for your pets. On weekends, I sometimes have events for my small business and love spending time with family. Please feel free to message me your preferred times — I’m happy to work something out that fits both of our schedules! I strive to create a comfortable environment to accommodate your pets needs as much as possible. I'm adaptive, flexible, and willing to work in a variety of different situations.
“Jennifer was great! Our little girl, Dash, recently got spayed and we needed someone to watch her for one night who could keep her calm and happy. Dash was immediately comfortable with Jennifer and we received lots of pics and updates. Would def recommend!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Pine Lake Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Pine Lake Park on Rover is $26.75 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,497 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pine Lake Park. 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 Pine Lake Park 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 Pine Lake Park 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 Pine Lake Park 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pine Lake Park. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
