About: I am currently working as a veterinary technician and have extensive pet sitting experience. I have a dog and 3 cats of my own and would love the opportunity to care for your pets as if they were my own! I can care for all sizes of dogs, cats, and other pets. I'm able to medicate, administer insulin or other injections, or anything medical. I'm very good with scared or unsure pets and have a knack for helping them feel more comfortable. I'm happy to spend time with the pets, walking them, playing with them, or just spending time petting them. I have loved and cared for animals since I was young and am hoping to have the opportunity to care for yours as well! I work from home and can be flexible with drops in and walks. I am also free all weekend! I can do drops ins, walks, overnights or medication administration. I will always make sure to follow your preferred schedule and make sure to take care of all needs you have for your pet! We can walk, play, snuggle, whatever they prefer!

About: What Makes Your Pup's Day Special! 🐕 Personal Adventure Time - Every dog gets their own customized experience, whether that's exploring new trails for the energetic labs or gentle neighborhood strolls for the senior sweethearts 🏠 Home Away From Home - Your dog stays in my cozy, dog proofed space with comfy beds, interactive toys, and a secure backyard for playtime and potty breaks 📱 Real Time Updates - You'll get photos and videos throughout the day so you can see your pup's adventures and know they're having a blast 🎾 Enrichment Activities - Beyond basic care, I provide mental stimulation through puzzle toys, training reinforcement, and socialization with other friendly dogs (if your pup enjoys it) My Promise to You: - Emergency vet contact and pet insurance knowledge - Medication administration experience - Flexible pickup/drop-off times - Detailed daily reports about eating, bathroom habits, and mood - Genuine love and attention for your furry family member Available Services: - Overnight boarding in my home - Daily dog walking adventures - Midday potty breaks and feeding - Weekend getaway care I became a dog sitter because I believe every dog deserves to feel loved and excited about life, even when their favorite humans aren't around. pet care isn't just something I squeeze into my schedule, it IS my schedule. I've structured my work and personal life around providing excellent care. My mornings start early with dog walks before the day gets busy. I work flexible hours so I can accommodate different pickup times and give each dog proper attention throughout the day. Weekends are often my busiest times for overnight stays, which works perfectly since I prefer spending my weekends hanging out with dogs anyway. I've found that caring for pets actually improves my own routine, it keeps me active, gives structure to my days, and provides the kind of unconditional companionship that makes every day better. In My Home Your dog becomes part of my daily routine from the moment they arrive. I start each morning with a good walk and breakfast, then we settle into a comfortable rhythm. I work from home, so your pup gets constant companionship and attention throughout the day. They have access to my living room and kitchen areas, plus a secure backyard for supervised play and bathroom breaks. Evenings include another good walk, dinner, and plenty of couch time if they're cuddlers. I keep detailed notes about their eating, bathroom habits, and any quirks I notice to share with you. In Your Home I treat your space with complete respect while keeping your dog's routine as normal as possible. I follow your feeding schedule, walking routes, and house rules exactly. Your pup gets the same level of attention and care, but in their familiar environment with all their favorite spots and toys. I also take care of basic house tasks like bringing in mail and watering plants if needed.

I was very nervous about using an online service to have someone watch my precious babies, as I had never done so before. Jennifer came for a meet and greet, took notes on what needed to be done, and took the girls for a walk with me to see where they normally walked. I booked 3 drop ins with Jennifer. Each drop in I received a report and photos on how the girls were doing. Jennifer put me at ease and kept me well informed each and every time. I will certainly use her again!!

Ola was an angel! We had to make two modifications to our original booking over this holiday weekend and she was so helpful and accommodating. She went above and beyond my expectation when it came to cleaning up a pet mess in our home. And she was so kind and loving to our fur babies each and every time she came to see them. I am so grateful that we met Ola and I look forward to working with her in the future.

About: I love animals so much I wanted to become a vet when I was a child. I instead chose to work with humans and equally love my career as a teacher. I am off all summer, so I am looking to not only earn a little extra money, but also keep your furbaby company while you are away. I am currently 7 months pregnant, so we are being strict on size and age of who we will sit. We limit the size we watch to 25 pounds and we won't watch any new clients younger than 5. Zach (my husband) and I have 3 of our own small dogs and boarding with us would be a great option! We have a fenced in yard and even a lure course to keep your baby entertained in the backyard. Our home has a doggy door, so they have full range of outside when they need to do their business, making potty training even easier! I am cat and dog CPR/first aid certified through American Red Cross. I am currently working part-time teaching summer school and coaching the summer robotics team. My husband works full time from home, so your pup will get a lot of attention. We have a fenced in yard to keep your fur baby safe during their stay. This also allows plenty of exercise. We have 3 of our own small pups, one who loves playing and running around, one who loves sleeping, and one who loves fetch to keep yours company, no matter their personality.

About: I have always been around cats and dogs my whole life and have taken care of both before. I love being able to bond with a pet! Hi there! I am new to NJ as I just moved from VA. I work hybrid 9-5 Mon-Fri, and my days in person vary every week, so my availability depends on my job! I am available on weekends- time doesn't really matter for me unless I have something planned but letting me know ahead of time works best! In my home with my cat I always make sure he's fed with a clean box and tons of pets ready for him when he isn't asleep and many toys for him that he loves. The same goes for anyone else's pet I am responsible for!

About: I’m based in Raritan, NJ, and have multiple years of professional and personal experience with dog sitting, dog walking, pet care, and pet transportation. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats with different personalities, routines, and needs. I also have experience giving oral medication, including pills and liquid medicine, and I understand how important it is to follow a pet’s normal schedule and routine. I genuinely love dogs and cats equally. I’m great with playful pets that want attention, fetch, or games, as well as chill pets that just want to relax or cuddle. I can also provide references if needed. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I’m currently freelance, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m available throughout the week. I can work around your pet’s normal routine and do my best to accommodate specific feeding, walking, medication, and care schedules. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and the rules of your home. I can handle walks, feeding, playtime, and oral medications when needed. I have years of experience caring for pets and always focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and relaxed.

I was very hesitant to use rover for the first time but Michael was very kind and answered all of my questions. He really took the time to learn about my pups and make sure they were happy while I was away. They warmed up to him quickly and let out their crazy side. I felt like we were in constant contact so I knew my dogs were being well taken care of which really took a weight off my shoulders. He even went above and beyond by sweeping up the dog hair which with a Great Pyrenees at home really builds up fast. I am so happy with how everything went and will definitely be using Michael again in the future. It was truly a great experience and I can’t thank Michael enough he really did and amazing job!!!

Jessica did an excellent job taking care of Bella and Audrey, even during several very cold and snowy days. She was attentive, patient, and thoughtful, and made sure the dogs were safe and comfortable despite the challenging weather conditions. We really appreciated her care, flexibility, and attention to detail, and felt very confident having the girls in her care. Highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.

A few days before our planned week-long vacation, our original pet-sitter canceled. Not knowing the best course of action, I found Rover (and thereby, Riley!) So once I got over any hesitation with using an app, Riley came for a meet&greet. I could tell right away that he was definitely a pet person. Thankfully, he was able to accept our booking - a full week with 6 cats and 1 dog. Any fear I had about leaving my fur babies were almost immediately assuaged after getting my first report from Riley. He was totally attentive to the needs of every "kid" - including giving daily inhaler medication to an asthmatic cat. I cannot say enough about what an *amazing* job Riley did! With each passing day I would get a full and detailed report with pictures. I felt like Riley wasn't just there to do a job but he truly cared for each and every one of my motley crew. Please do not hesitate to book with Riley. He certainly exceeded any expectation I had. Thanks again, Riley!!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Raritan

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Raritan on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 8,241 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Raritan. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Raritan 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.

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 Raritan 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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Raritan with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Raritan. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
