“Justin is awesome. The cats love him, he takes extra care to make sure they eat and that all their meds and supplements are taken as needed, and he gives very informative, detailed updates after each visit. He gives me excellent peace of mind when I travel. Thanks Justin!”
About: I have been a pet owner to most animals over 30 years. I have experience in all breeds of dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, and even alpacas. I love to play with them in the yard, I make sure they have water at all times and I stick with their schedule for eating. Animals are like my children though I do have human older children too. I will make sure your pet is well taken care of. I have had many dogs over the years and even a few cats. When my children were young they each had their own guinea pig and chicken. Yes I said chicken.!! I recently bought an alpaca who lives on a beautiful farm and I go and visit him often. My main job I work from home but my pets are never by themselves for longer than 4-5 hours. I have owned pets my whole adult life and could never see myself not having this wonderful responsibility! I make sure when arriving at a clients house that I greet each pet. Then we got outside for potty break and playtime. I normally stay about 30 minutes. I make sure they have fresh water and give them a treat if allowed.
About: I have worked as a vet tech for over two years and am now in the Army. I have experience with larger dogs as I grew up with a rottweiler, and now have a 120lb Leonberger- so they are not an issue for me at all. I also have experience with cats as well as exotic pets I am available during the week all days to hang out with your loved ones (pets!!) I have experience as a vet technician that is definitely useful for this line of work. I do not have a fenced in yard but do have a track/trail that I take my dog on ~5x a day. It is perfect for dog walking.
About: I have 2 years of hands on pet care experience and a genuine love for animals. I have cared for dogs of different sizes, ages, and temperaments, including puppies and high energy dogs. I am patient, attentive, and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and keeping routines consistent. I also pay close attention to behavior and health so I can catch anything unusual early. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give your pet plenty of time and attention. I am available on weekdays and weekends, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I can accommodate walks, drop ins, or boarding depending on your needs and will always prioritize your pet’s routine. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets can feel at home. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special needs. I keep a close eye on pets at all times and make sure they are secure during walks and play. I am also big on communication, so I will send updates and photos to keep you comfortable while you are away.
“Leonardo was amazing with Penny! He came in for a drop in visit and went above & beyond staying longer to keep playing with her. Leonardo was very sweet when we met him and I am definitely booking with him again!”
About: Ive had all sorts of pets since childhood i.e. cats dogs chicks bunnies. I have experience with puppies, both golden retriever pups and German shephard pups. I currently do not have any pets for the first time in my life and so I've decided to create an account to supplement my income as well as satisfy my desire to be around furry creatures. For the record, I do not work with reptiles. Furry creatures only :) I am reliable and will keep you updated as much as you'd like me to, with pictures and videos of your pets! Cats and dogs preferred but also have experience with bunnies. I'm currently working in a very flexible industry, so my schedule isn't very rigid, however I will sometimes need to leave the house for 6-8hours. I enjoy being outside with the pups in the evening, when I have the most time. I do not have the ability to care for pets in my home. I try and stick to the animals routine in their home, although sometimes they can be stubborn and not stick to their own routine. They will, once they trust and warm up to me, sometimes it takes a day or two :) I'm very patient and gentle and will show them all the love :)
“Hailey is highly recommended! She did some drop ins to cleanup and care for our cat while we were traveling. Hailey sent us pictures and updates each visit and was very responsive. Thank you, Hailey!”
About: I have owned dogs my whole life, and I have one at the moment. Knowing this, you can probably tell I am well trained for the job and that I love animals. I will play with your energetic pup, or I will cuddle with your lazy seniors! I am home 24/7, allowing me to pay full attention, and I am willing to take your dog for walks as much as needed. There are no cats or children in my home for your dog to worry about, but I do have a dog of my own. I work from home full time :) This allows me to pay close attention to your pup & ensure they have the best, most eventful stay! I have a fenced yard & another dog that your pup can hang out with. My dog sleeps in bed with me, but if putting them in a crate is preferred, I will do so.
About: I cared for my own first fur baby for 18 wonderful years, who sadly passed away last summer. Through that experience, I learned the importance of patience, consistency, and unconditional love. I’ve always had a deep love for animals and truly believe every pet deserves the best care, comfort, and companionship while their owners are away. I work a hybrid schedule and am home on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, making it easy to give pets frequent attention, walks, and care throughout the day. I’m also fully available on weekends, so I can be flexible and dedicate my time to your pet’s needs. I care for pets as if they were my own. I stick closely to their normal routines for feeding, walks, and rest, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether in my home or yours, I provide plenty of affection, playtime, and attentive care while keeping their environment clean and secure. I also communicate regularly with updates and photos for peace of mind.
About: Hi, my name is Juleanne, and i’d love to take care of your pup! I’ve had three of my own, including a golden retriever and two mini Aussies, so I know what it’s like to care for both the playful and the stubborn types! I’ve also started volunteering at an animal shelter, where I’ve gotten to work with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Whether your pup is tiny, huge, chill, or full of zoomies, I’m ready to give them the love and attention they deserve. I’m available almost all days of the week ! Don’t be afraid to request different hours. Same day cancellation is fine just please don’t do it last minute! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I treat them like family. I stick to their routine as closely as possible—meals, walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether we’re hanging out on the couch or heading out for a walk. I also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you always know your pet is happy and in good hands!
“Zahira is an absolute dream!!! We trust her the most with our babies. She is the sweetest and the best communicator. They (and my husband and I!) couldn’t love her more 🩷 she even left us polaroids of them and the sweetest note 🥹”
About: I have spent all of my life around animals, and have absolutely loved spending time with them since I was young. As a kid I volunteered at my local shelter, playing with the residents and doing what I could to help take care of them and keep them happy. I personally grew up with both cats and dogs. I was the family member responsible for training and teaching our dogs new commands. I would be more than happy to go on long walks or spend time playing with and keeping your pets company. I am currently a school teacher on break, so I have plenty of time to love on your fur baby! I am currently openly available, until the school year begins in September. Until then, I am generally available during the week from 8 am to 10 pm. Once the school year begins I am available for housesitting for pets that can be left alone for a workday. I can offer drop ins and walks after 3:30 pm on school days. I am more than happy to feed, walk, play with, and love your animals in your home. I have experience with administering insulin to cats as well.
About: I've taken care of my own dog since I was 8, I have started working at a dog daycare, boarding and grooming facility for over a year now. I have experience providing medication, potty breaks, treats, feeding and other tasks. I have also done at home daycare as well as overnight boarding at dogs homes. I have been around dogs of all behaviors and ages. I'm currently working part-time for other dog families. But I would happy to squeeze your pup in my schedule! I'm available most weekends. I have a fenced yard and my dog sleeps in my bed and is allowed on furniture. However if your dog sleeps in a crate or is not allowed on furniture I can accommodate!
About: I am patient responsible and attentive to each pet’s unique needs. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring hands and getting the love and attention they deserve. I am a full time graduate student, I have a flexible schedule and can provide pet care during weekdays evenings and most weekends. I am reliable and will work with your pet’s routine to make sure they receive the care and attention they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will follow all care instructions keep a close eye on your pet and provide a calm loving environment. I will also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: I have had cats and dogs my entire life, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of who I am. My career goal is to become a veterinarian, and I have already spent the past few years working in both critical care and mixed-animal general practice. Through this experience, I’ve learned how to recognize subtle changes in an animal’s behavior or health and how to respond calmly and responsibly in a variety of situations. Beyond my professional experience, friends, family, and coworkers consistently trust me to care for their beloved four-legged family members—both big and small. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. My goal is to provide not only reliable pet sitting, but also peace of mind for pet owners who want someone experienced, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animal care. My current work schedule is Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. I’m great at keeping pets on their normal routine. Dogs get enriching walks, potty breaks, and lots of attention. Cats get feeding, litter box care, and playtime if they’re interested. I’ll follow whatever schedule keeps your pet happiest. Safety and trust are my top priorities in your home. I follow all of your security instructions and keep doors and windows locked when I’m out or sleeping. The only exception is a dog door if your pets need yard access, and I’ll confirm that’s okay with you first. After walks and yard time, I clean up all waste to keep your yard tidy. I also send photo updates, respect off-limit areas, and leave your home as I found it.
About: Hi my name is Sara, I have taken care of a lot of dogs, cats and horses since I was in high school. I have a lot of experience with dogs and cats working at an animal hospital as my regular daytime job. Would love to help people out as needed with dog walking or check in’s on their pets while they’re away. I would mostly be able to check in on them in the morning and evenings depending on the days of the week. Look forward to meeting your furry family members! ❤️🐾 I work a full time job but would love to offer help as needed. My schedule does vary but I would do the best I can to be available. I would be willing to take your pups for a walk or check in on them as needed through out the week, weekly or here and there.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Runnemede
Where to start? She was amazing. Went above and beyond. Even walked my baby in the rain. We appreciate everything you did and all the love you have to our Sadie and cats. You're the best. Thanks again for everything. Truly made us feel that our pets were in great hands
We hired Brynn to come into our home to feed and walk our older dog when we went away overnight. She did an excellent job and sent us texts and photos each time. Our pup was in good spirits when we returned. I would definitely have her come again and recommend her highly.
I can’t recommend Lindsey highly enough! She is reliable, incredibly kind, and truly goes above and beyond for my Ruby girl. Every walk is handled with care, and it shows—our dog is happier, calmer, and absolutely adores her and her sidekick Paco!! Communication is always clear and prompt, and the photos and updates after each walk give me total peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy who will treat your dog like family, this is the person to call!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Runnemede is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $22 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 October 2026, there are 8,556 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Runnemede. 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.
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 Runnemede 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 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.
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 Runnemede with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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 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.
