About: With a lifelong passion for animals, I’ve been caring for pets professionally since I was 16 — from vet clinics to living rooms, I’ve done it all. I’m certified in animal CPR, experienced with pets of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments, and always ready to offer a calm, capable hand (or a lap to nap in). Whether your furry friend needs meds, snuggles, or just someone to throw the ball exactly right — I’ve got it covered. You’ll get plenty of photo updates, so you never feel too far from your best friend. When you’re away, they deserve more than just a sitter — they deserve someone who truly gets them. Let’s make your time away stress-free (for both of you)! 🐶🐱 *Just started accepting bookings again with the new school year! I’m currently a student at Cornell Vet, so my day to day schedule varies with classes but I tend to only spend 4-8 hours at school and can spend the rest of the day with your pet! When caring for pets in your home, I focus on creating a calm, familiar environment where they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick closely to their usual routine — from feeding schedules and litter box care to playtime and medication, if needed — to minimize stress and keep things consistent while you’re away. I’ve worked in veterinary medicine for years, so I’m very experienced with administering medications, monitoring subtle behavior changes, and offering extra TLC to keep your furry friend feeling their best. I take the time to build trust, especially with shy or older pets, and always respect their boundaries and preferences. You’ll receive regular updates and plenty of photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in caring, capable hands.
About: I have nearly two years of professional experience working as a kennel assistant at two different animal care facilities, where I cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I have experience administering medications, monitoring animal health, and confidently handling pets with a wide range of behaviors, including anxious, reactive, and energetic animals. I have also volunteered with cat rescue organizations, helping care for cats and prepare them for adoption into loving homes. As a pet owner myself, I care for one dog, four cats, and a lizard, giving me firsthand experience with the patience, responsibility, and compassion that every pet deserves. Pet care is currently my full-time focus, so I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate most requests. In a few weeks, I will be starting college to become a veterinary technician. Once classes begin, I will be available after class Monday through Thursday and will have open availability on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I will do my best to be flexible and work with your schedule whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, maintain your pet’s routine, provide plenty of love and attention, ensure a safe environment, and treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect and care.

“My cats loved Tristan! My male cat is usually very shy and a bit nervous, but with Tristan he was always around, comfortable, and very affectionate. I really enjoyed every update he sent during each visit, it made my trip much more enjoyable, knowing that they were in good hands.”
About: I have grown up with several animals my whole life. Currently I have many animals, including 5 dogs and 4 cats, and have been through countless of puppy and kitten stages as well as seniority stages of life. I’m very familiar with potty training, crate training, and even simple commands such as sit, down, and paw. I also have experience raising small animals (such as hamsters, chinchillas, rabbits) and exotics (snakes, sugar gliders, birds). I’m available on Thursdays all day until about 5:30 pm as I have class at 6 pm. On Fridays I am usually available all day unless I have a prior babysitting commitment! I can follow any instructions given to me about how to care for your pet in your home. Whether that’s hanging out at home, taking them for a walk, simply letting them outside in a fenced in yard, or having a fun outing at the dog park!
“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience for myself and my pets with Jennifer. My dog who can be a bit shy really warmed up to her which is huge! Jennifer’s communication and overall positivity, care, and friendliness is so appreciated and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my dog and cat in her care. Highly recommend!”
“Noelle accepted a very last minute request for a late evening drop in for my dogs. She quickly replied and went out of her way to do a meet and greet with me and my pups that same-day. She was on time for the drop in and spent a good amount of time showing my babies some love. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Brianna went above and beyond taking amazing care of our kitties. She was a very last minute booking and was not only understanding but extremely supportive in accommodating all our pets needs. We swear we came home to a cleaner house than we left it to! I would recommend Brianna to anyone needing a caretaker for their pet and will definitely rebook in the future 🫶”
About: *** In MOST cases, I NEED to bring my dog with me for overnight stays. Please take that into consideration BEFORE you reach out to me. If you just need day time care I can be a bit more flexible on the above. Thank you for understanding. *** :) I love animals, but dogs have a special place in my heart. Your animals will be well cared for when I watch them. I have experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I have a dog of my own- an almost 3 year old German Shepherd-who would have to come with me while I sit for you. I know our pups will have tons of fun playing together! My goal is to try and treat your pets like my own. I will make pets feel cared for and loved, even when their owners are not there. I currently work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to work around your pet’s routine and needs. I typically have the most availability on weekends, but can also accommodate weekday care! I make sure to follow your pet’s routine, provide the care and exercise they need, and keep their environment safe and comfortable. My goal is for your pet to feel happy, secure, and well cared for while they’re in my care.
About: I have been around dogs and have taken care of dogs for 10+ years. I have been around all different breeds and sizes of dogs as well. I am not ready to have my own dog but I am a dog lover who is willing to take care of other dogs and make some cash while doing so. I do work an office job, Monday - Friday (8:00am - 4:30pm). I am a genuine, trustworthy, and reliable person. I respect others and their belongings. I offer transparency and commitment to do what someone else expects.
About: Not only do I have experience working in a doggy daycare facility at one point but I was blessed enough to have a mother who had her own boarding and daycare business in our home for my teenage into my adult years. Not only did I get to watch and learn how she did things in our own home but I got to work for her and get paid learning more and more as the years went on. Had our own animals growing up and I've had my experience with all kinds of animals from dogs to cats and rabbits. I treat everybody's animal as if they were my own and love to spend every minute I can with any animal I can. I have over 20 years of experience and all the love that you could imagine for your child to give. I am currently working via doordash and would prefer to be walking dogs instead. So as of right now I am only delivering to people until I can start scheduling pet sitting hours. That leaves my schedule wide open from the time my son leaves to school at 9:00 a.m. until I have to be back for him to get off the bus at 3:00 p.m. I would come to your house so you can introduce me to yourself and your dog. I would need to know if your dog needs any medicine or food or fresh bowl of water along with where the leash and collar would be to walk your dog. If your dog has a special routine that you guys walk everyday I would love to know that so that your dog is going the same way they are used to. If you have a fenced in yard I can just let your dog out and we can play ball or fetch or we can just snuggle and cuddle and get lovings before it is time for me to leave.
About: Animals are too good for humankind, so they should be treated like absolute royalty. I grew up with cats and had a small but successful dog-walking and pet-sitting business in my neighborhood growing up. I am more than happy to treat your pet as if they were my own <3 I currently work full time in Lake George and I'm looking for some additional income, and what better way to do that than to care for your pets! To make sure your pet feels as comfortable as possible while you are away, I would love to learn their typical routine at home and their interests!
About: I’ve been taking caring of dogs since I was 8, I’ve had three of my own dogs, my current household has three dogs in total. My current household also previously had two cats I helped take care of as well. I am a very caring pet parent and treat others pets as my own. I am a full time stay at home day with my wife and I’s 20 month old daughter, but that does not stop me from taking care of pets. I have a fenced in yard for the three dogs I live with, get them exercise, plenty of water and feed them every morning and night. I can do the same for all of your pets and whatever else you request if I can accommodate it.
About: We have owned, rescued, and fostered many fur babies, including seniors and those that have medical needs and hospice care. Fur babies are unconditional love! I am retired and have a lot of time for fur babies. Taking care of fur babies are what keeps me active and, on the go. I have a fenced yard and three smaller dogs that love to play and cuddle. My home is more suited for fur babies then humans!
About: I used to foster dogs & now i just volunteer to walk them at Main Line Animal Rescue. I have my own 6 month old dog that loves to play. I have taken care & pet sat for as long as I can remember. I currently have a flexible 9-5 job that I work from home 90% of the week. I am off on the weekends & enjoy walking, taking dogs to parks, playing & snuggling! I have experience with all breeds & sizes. I have a friendly male dog that enjoys playing with all dogs & is very social. He is extremely spoiled. We go on walks daily, do daily enrichment along with constant playing.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Pughtown is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $24 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 November 2026, there are 8,242 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Pughtown. 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 Pughtown. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
