About: I have experience caring for both cats and dogs with a wide range of personalities and needs, from energetic and playful to shy, senior, or more independent pets. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including those who may need extra attention, routine, or patience. I’ve also cared for a variety of animals beyond cats and dogs, which has helped me develop a calm, adaptable approach to pet care. My focus is always on making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I primarily provide care in clients’ homes to keep pets comfortable in their own environment and maintain their usual routine. I focus on creating a calm, safe experience by following each pet’s established habits, routines, and care instructions closely. I primarily provide care in clients’ homes to keep pets comfortable in their own environment and maintain their usual routine. I focus on creating a calm, safe experience by following each pet’s established habits, routines, and care instructions closely. I focus on providing both mental and physical stimulation based on each pet’s needs. This can include walks, playtime, enrichment activities, and maintaining a consistent routine. For more active pets, I incorporate exercise and engagement, while for more relaxed or senior pets, I prioritize comfort, routine, and calm companionship.

Katie was the absolute best. She went above and beyond for her stay with my high energy pup, taking him on three 2+ mile walks over the course of her stay. She was extremely thorough and detail-oriented, executing each request and keeping our dog on schedule as much as possible. Sending a bunch of pictures and detailed recaps for each visit/walk. We would absolutely love to have Katie watch our dog again!

About: I’ve been an animal lover since I was a kid. Animals are a passion of mine, as well as traveling, music and nutrition. The slogan Eat, Play, Love is a spin off of my favorite Eat, Pray, Love. I grew up with dogs, cats and bunnies. I loved each & every one of them. When I got older I turned my passion into a form of income. I’m a former kennel-hand. I’ve been a house/ pet sitting for years now but just as a side job & usually by word of mouth. Now I’ve turned it into a full-time business. I’ve dealt with breeds ranging from golden retrievers and labs to rottweilers and pitbulls to chihuahuas and french bulldogs. I believe I am fully capable to properly and lovingly take care of your furry friend(s) ! I walk many dogs throughout the week. I housesit whenever someone needs me. Then at home, I help out with my family’s dogs. I’m really flexible, I’m willing to work weekends & holidays as well. I care for your furry friends like they’re my own, with lots of love. I pride myself on leaving a home better than I found it.

MaKenna took excellent care of our furry family while we were out of the country. She was great at communicating and providing photos. She was thorough with providing our Daisy her meds and getting to know Daisy, even though she's a bit shy. And Winnie and MaKenna seemed to click right away. It was clear by the photos that both animals had a great time!

About: I have been around animals all my life, especially dogs. Growing up we always owned a dog. I grew up in an apartment around dogs, birds, rabbits, chicks, ducks, hamsters and turtles. Over the years, my main connections were and are dogs. They are so unique in their own way. Their personalities are very special to me. Dogs can talk for those who listen. I currently work full time. I am home by 4pm. I take my dogs out for long walks or to the doggie park when I arrive. My husband is our pets caretaker during the day since he works nights. He gets to play with them in the yard, walk them and feed our fur babies. I live in a corner lot house and it is partially fenced. Our dogs play in the yard. They also take long walks three times per day. We also have a dog park five minutes from the house and they enjoy going there.

Alexyss was absolutely amazing. Our dogs are our babies and we have never left them with anyone other than Family, but after Alexyss was recommended to me by someone I trust, we decided to set up a meet and greet. It went very well and We felt comfortable and knew that our boys were in good hands. Alexyss’s history working in emergency vet offices was extra reassuring and honestly one of the main reasons I felt so comfortable. She was very communicative, thorough, and left our home in perfect condition. We are so grateful to have found someone we can trust!

About: I’ve had dogs since I can remember. When I was 11 I had my own dog that I took care of and eventually once I was able to drive I payed and did everything for her (she was my age). I’ve taken care of family members dogs as well. I’m currently working at a doggy boarding and daycare facility. My job is to make sure the dogs are safe, happy and healthy. We take them out to the yard and bring them in for playtime. We learn dog body language and how to deal with their body language. I currently do not have my own dog but I do work at a boarding daycare facility. If you dog needs to be crated I can easily get them in there. The facility has very high fences for when the dogs go outside. Some dogs we do have to keep on a leash outside so they do not run away. I also play with the dogs and give them lots of love. The same can be done in a clients home as well. I will do whatever is needed for the dog I am watching.

Christine was beyond amazing!!! We attended our son's wedding weekend and did not want to leave our 14 year old dog alone as she gets anxious. Christine readily accommodated our split shifts needs and was very much liked by all of our family staying at the hotel. The true testament to her goodness and her love of pets is when she came to our hotel our dog got so excited, wagged her tail non- stop and jumped with excitement after meeting with her for the third time. Our dog treated Christine like she was family and that is the type of person she is. Christine made us very comfortable and our dog even more. I will highly recommend and will ask Christine again to stqy with our dog. Christine is AWESOME!!!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Roxbury Township

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Roxbury Township on Rover is $111 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 5,760 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Roxbury Township. 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 Roxbury Township 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 Roxbury Township 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 Roxbury Township 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 Roxbury Township. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
