“JonJon was amazing. He went above and beyond in everything he did. He spent so much time, cuddling the cats and made sure everything was taken care of every day, including medication. I felt confident and comfortable in his ability to manage the cats and the medication and everything else that went along with it. So kind and thoughtful. You can tell he loves spending time with my cats, which is just so great.”
“Mary did a great job watching my dogs. She was very nice and kept me up to date every morning & let me know how they were doing! I was very grateful to find such a caring dog sitter”
About: I have both an endless amount of patience for slower moving furry friends, as well as boundless energy for pets that need a little extra zoom to tire out! I have pet sat everything from rambunctious puppies and senior cats and dogs, to crested geckos and rabbits, so no animal is off the table! I have always loved and respected animals and I cannot wait to treat your pet like family! While I am on the job hunt, I have lots of free time throughout the day to walk your dog, hangout with your cat, and feed your pets! Depending on the service I'm booked for, I will arrive to your home ready for anything! I have shoes with great traction so I'm ready for an afternoon hike with your dogs, and I'm an avid reader so I'd be more than happy to hang on your couch with your cat for some snuggles! I have gone through some minor trainings at animal shelters for introducing myself to animals as well as training on what behaviors to recognize in dogs while out for walks to ensure a safe and fun time by all, so you can rest assured I will not put your pet into an uncomfortable situation while they are in my care. I am happy to follow all rules and guidelines you set for your home (I am usually a no-shoes inside kind of person so that rule will be followed regardless unless otherwise advised). And no need to worry about any additional "weird" requests on how your pet likes something done; I used to have a dog who wanted his dinner to be "cooked" on the stove or else he wouldn't touch it so nothing is too weird/silly for me to play along with. Overall I want your pet to have a pleasant and fulfilling time while spent with me and for you to have peace of mind while they are in my care.
“Kathryn was awesome and very professional. She kept me updated throughout the day and made me feel very much at ease. Katie took excellent care of my dog (Ruben). I would highly recommend Kathryn!”
“We felt at ease with leaving Zahira with our anxious boy. She got here early to meet him and to know about the house. She was professional and provided great care for Zorro. Extremely happy and Zorro loved her. Thank you so much.”
“Cassidy was wonderful! She was patient and kind to my two pups who take a little longer to warm up to others. Her daily updates were perfect and she treated our pups like her own. Our home looked the same as we had left it as well!”
“Kiara did a wonderful job caring for my dog and cat last weekend, keeping them on a good feeding and walking schedule, hanging out with them, and providing medicine to my cat. She was responsive in a very timely manner, keeping me posted on how things were going throughout the weekend, with texts ad photos. My house was in perfect shape when I got home and my dog and cat were happy -- the best evidence that they had been well cared for and completely at ease with their sitter. Thanks, Kiara!!”

“Rob was truly exceptional, and we couldn’t recommend him more highly. He watched our two girls for 9 days, and from start to finish, he went above and beyond in every possible way. He took incredible care of both dogs, even going so far as to buy them extra-special treats to celebrate their birthdays while we were away which was such a thoughtful and unexpected gesture that meant so much to us. Our dog Winnie has anxiety, especially during bad weather, and Rob was unbelievably patient, attentive, and gentle with her. Knowing she was in such caring, capable hands gave us complete peace of mind. Rob was kind, thoughtful, and communicative, providing great updates throughout our trip that reassured us our girls were happy, loved, and well cared for. On top of that, he treated our home with the utmost respect. He clearly took pride in being a responsible and considerate house guest. It’s rare to find someone who cares this deeply, not just about the dogs, but about the entire experience. We came home to two very happy pups and a perfectly cared for home. We would trust Rob again in a heartbeat and feel incredibly lucky to have found him!”
About: i love dogs, i treat them with lots of love and care. i have been working with dogs for almost 9 years now. i am a professional dog groomer! i always had a dog growing up, i just haven't gotten my own yet :) i love to cuddle dogs and play with them. i understand that dogs get very nervous when their owner leaves so i like to be with them as much as possible. I also know that going potty can take forever and it's all about patience so I will wait as long as i need to until your little pup goes! When it's time for feeding, i will sit with them so they feel more comfortable. I also like to bring surprise treats and toys for them to keep them distracted. I will do everything to make them feel comfortable and loved. I love to build connections with not just the dogs but the owners as well. I want you to feel completely comfortable and safe! I also like to send pictures of your dog(s) to you :) I do not have a fenced in yard but we can take lots of walks and play at the park.
“Amanda was great. We have two cats that don't get along all the time and she was there the entire time just to make sure they didn't get into. Thankfully her calming presence kept them from ever getting into. She played with them and sent frequent updates. I will definitely be using her in the future.”
“Melissa was absolutely amazing with our dog Reggie! It was the first time we left him and she was amazing about sending pics and updates! I couldn’t be more appreciative of the care she took of our puppy”
“Morgan was a great pet sitter. My dog can be very shy and warmed up to her quickly. She was very attentive and helpful. My pets were well cared for by her, and I will definitely use her services again when I need an overnight sitter.”
“Reggi is by far THE BEST dog sitter in the world. She understood my dog’s pre-existing conditions and his anxiety as a result of his rescue. She has consistently striven to keep me up to date as often as I asked-and I would not trust my dog (aka my baby) to anyone else. I will continue to work with Reggi moving forward and I’m so glad to have met such a wonderful person who truly loves what she does as much as we love our pets!”

Highly recommend Greg. He was thorough and professional during the meet and greet, leaving us feeling comfortable having him at our home. Our dog Bucky can be anxious around new people and situations, but immediately took a liking to him. It seemed llike they had a great time!
Tara was amazing!! She was patient and kind with our anxious pup and won her over very quickly (an impressive feat!) And she was wonderful with our 2 month old puppy, making sure he napped when he needed and got to the bathroom. She is also generally a warm and caring person who loves taking care of pets. I will absolutely use her again!!
Cassidy has been an absolutely wonderful sitter for our dog Lulu and cat Monkey. Lulu is weary of strangers, but through Cassidy's presence, patience, and caring, she won Lulu over quickly. Cassidy also did a great job keeping to Monkey's medication regiment. Through the daily feedback, pictures, and videos, we got both piece of mind and the evolution of our pets' trust at the same time. We are forever thankful for Cassidy watching our pets and home, and look forward to working with her again.
Krystal was an amazing house and cat sitter for us! She was available on short notice and during the Holidays which was such a relief! She was respectful of our home and more importantly took great care of our kitties and sent us periodic photos and updates! Great communication and a lovely person! Highly recommend Krystal!
James made our first Rover experience sooo easy and comfortable! Great communication, very considerate and friendly. We knew our girls were in good hands! James sent lots of *really* cute photos of the girls and gave us updates and check ins! My very anxious dog was so relaxed and calm with James! I didn’t worry for a second! Came home to a nice, calm, clean house. Very grateful for our experience and couldn’t recommend James more!
Mary did a good job with our pets last week. Our only concern is Casey was left for longer than we requested in our notes to her. We don’t know that for sure of course but that’s something that can be asked of Mary. If we were to use her in the future we need-to be assured that they,especially Casey would not be left for longer than the six hours. All in all everything was fine and we appreciate the care they received.

FAQs for House Sitting - Runnemede
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Runnemede is $53 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $75 per night. 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 5,174 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Runnemede. 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 Runnemede 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 Runnemede 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 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!
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Runnemede. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
