“My wife and I just had Jennifer stay with our dog for the very first time …. it was perfect! Wylie and Jennifer got along great! Jennifer made him feel loved and comfortable. Wylie has a strong attachment to my wife, but Jennifer won him over. While the Rover website is great and easy to work with, Jennifer walked us through the process, explained what she could do and made us feel good about leaving Wylie in the hands of a complete stranger (a stranger no more). We were equally impressed with how well Jennifer treated our home. We were gone overnight and Jennifer stayed with Wylie in our home. There is no question that I very highly recommend Jennifer to anyone who is the least bit nervous about having a pet-sitter. We plan on using her every chance we get!”
“Angelina was super reliable! I’m a nervous dog mom, so it was nice to know that Yoko was in good hands. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our girl. We’ll definitely be booking her again soon.”
“Hadija was an amazing sitter! My dog is very afraid of thunderstorms and fireworks and Hadija made sure to comfort him and make him feel safe. She also provided a lot of updates and left our house in perfect condition. I would definitely book with her again!”
“I highly recommend Micaela 😊 she took excellent care of my dog Zues while I was away and gave me complete peace of mind. she was very reliable, responsible, and kept me updated with messages and photos throughout my trip. My dog was happy, well cared for, and comfortable when I returned home. It was clear that Micaela treated my pet with kindness, patience, and genuine affection. I would not hesitate to use this services again and would gladly recommend Micaela to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you so much for your services. 😊😊😊”
“Kimberly was wonderful and such a great help at the last minute! She gave great updates and photos of my puppers day. Would highly recommend and look forward to using her again!”
“I cannot say enough great things about Paige. She was extremely kind and caring toward our pups and took great care of them for the weekend we were away. She also was super communicative and gave us consistent updates about how our dogs were doing and how their days went, complete with picture updates as well. Which I really appreciate. She is an amazing pet/house sitter and if she is available, book her IMMEDIATELY! We will 1000% be booking Paige again!”
“I was extremely happy with the care Evgenii provided my dog Dakota. It was the first time I had a sitter stay in my apartment & he made me very comfortable. I received daily updates & photos. What a terrific experience & I will Def be using Evgenii's serves again! Thank You”
About: I currently cat/dog-sit for all of my friends, family, and extended family's pets. I recently lost my own boy, Bowie, who was a 100-lb rescue in May. I am well accustomed to bigger dogs, but also love taking care of the little ones and cats as well! I can also help with basic training commands, medication administration, and any special meal preparation that is needed. Now booking any holiday needs! I work from home full time Monday-Friday, so I'm able to care to their needs throughout the day, in between meetings! This schedule also allows me to focus on evening and weekend coverage for your date nights, quick trips, and weekend getaways! I have no pets of my own currently and have plenty of grass/dog park within my neighborhood. As long as your pet is potty trained, they would have full access to the couch/bed!
“Calli was great and did everything as instructed, she was our first experience with Rover and did great with our two dogs and cat. It was great to enjoy vacation without worrying about our pets with Calli there watching them.”
“Ana went above and beyond. She was in regular contact with me and put in extra effort to connect with my very shy boy kitty. She even left us an adorable hand made sign welcoming us home. We so appreciate her care and attention and highly recommend her!”
“Tessa was a fantastic sitter. She treated the house with respect, provided helpful updates, and asked great questions regarding our dog's care. Thank you, Lucy is looking forward to the next stay!”
About: I have always had a passion for dogs. I have been dog sitting for the past 6 years. I truly love every minute of it! I enjoy giving each dog individual attention and care, unlike what they may receive in a large kennel. I love spending time with dogs, taking them for walks, feeding them, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away I’m a stay at home fur mom and have a flexible schedule and reliable transportation. I can easily incorporate more dogs into my feeding and walking routines throughout the days. I have had dogs my whole life and truly enjoy pet care and helping keep pets on their schedule. I also think it is important to have patience with dogs.
“Nicholas was fantastic! We had our very first meeting a few days before he stayed overnight at my home with my two dogs and two cats for three days and two nights. I was uncomfortable with the idea of having a stranger stay in my home, but Nicholas immediately made me feel at ease upon meeting him. He asked all the right questions and seemed eager to help us. While away, he understood my near panic with leaving my baby Bandit with a stranger, and was caring enough to send me pics of Bandit in bed with him which made me so happy. He responded to every message very quickly. His price AND demeanor beat all else!! I look forward to having you over again soon, Nicholas! Thank you for helping us in a last minute bind!”
About: Hi! I’m Quin. I grew up with cats, dogs, a bunny, and was a member of an Alpaca 4-H club since I was in 3rd grade, I don’t know a world without animals. I genuinely love getting to know people’s pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. My current house currently boasts four cats of various ages, from kittens to an old lady, and a young Australian Shepherd mix. Because of this, I'm very comfortable with both cats, dogs, and households that have multiple pets. I've also spent a large part of my life caring for senior animals and pets who need a little extra attention. I've managed medications, special diets, frequent potty breaks, and other individualized care, including caring for a previous dog with a seizure disorder. My approach to pet care is to meet each animal where they are. I love matching their energy, whether that means a long walk and plenty of playtime, some quiet companionship, or simply giving a shy pet the time and space they need to become comfortable with me. I'm detail-oriented and happy to follow specific routines and care instructions because I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is being cared for exactly the way you would care for them. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and cat sitting. I'm happy to care for pets who need extra attention or have special routines, and I always want to make your time away as easy and worry-free as possible. Most importantly, I want your pets to feel like they have a friend looking after them while you're gone. If that sounds like the kind of pet care you need, please reach out to me! I am currently a part-time student with another job on top of Rover, so please take a look at the calendar to book with me! Pet safety is my top priority. I am familiar with dealing with cats and dogs who don't get along and make sure not just to stop dangerous scenarios but also to prevent them altogether.
About: I’ve been around animals all my life and wouldn’t want it any other way! I currently have one rescue dog of my own, having sadly lost one of our pups three years ago. I regularly walk several dogs in the local area, and do regular drop-in visits for a family with three cats, when they go out of town. I also have experience caring for senior cats and dogs. I will always keep you updated with photos/videos promptly after each visit or walk. Rest assured, I will treat your fur babies as my own! My schedule is flexible and I am available most days, including weekends, depending on prior booking commitments. Caring for your pets is always my priority! I am mature, reliable, and responsible and will always treat your pets and your property as I would my own. I will check on your pet’s welfare first and foremost, then will keep them well loved and entertained throughout my visit/walk!
“Laura watched our dog at our home while we were away for a few days. She did an excellent job with our dog and treated our home with respect. We will definitely reach out in the future when we can't bring our pup on trips! Highly recommend Laura”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sayreville Junction
Jennifer exceeded all our expectations in her care for our 12-year old yorkie-poo Annie. We are first time Rover users and were nervous since we had only used friends and family as sitters for Annie. Within a minute after Jennifer walked in our home for the meet and greet, we knew we had made the right decision. She is a warm, sweet and mature person and we immediately knew Annie would be in good hands when we went away for the weekend. During our weekend away, Annie quickly warmed up to Jennifer, playing, cuddling and sleeping in bed with her. Jennifer sent numerous pictures to us over the weekend which gave us peace of mind. By the end of the weekend, we felt like we, as well as Annie, made a new friend. We would definitely have Jennifer stay with Annie again!
Kelly was absolutely excellent. We had her stay overnight with our cats, including one who had recently had a medical emergency, for four days. She was diligent in providing updates, sending photos, and making sure our kitties felt loved. We will absolutely be using her again.
Julia was an incredible sitter for Polo over Christmas week. From the moment we booked, she was communicative and thoughtful, excited to spend time with him. Throughout the stay, she sent regular updates and photos. Polo can be a sensitive little guy, but he warmed up to her and Julia kept his routine consistent, gave him tons of attention, and made sure he got plenty of playtime and snuggles. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands during the holidays. I would recommend Julia without hesitation and will absolutely book with her again!
Amazing sitter!! My dog is on medications and it's always so nerve-wracking for me every time I have to leave him. Well, not with Megan on board! She's incredibly attentive, and she carefully and expertly handled every aspect of his care. I was beyond impressed! Not only that, but her connection with and love for animals is truly remarkable. I've never seen my dog so relaxed with anyone! My dog was smitten with her within minutes of arrival, and you know that dogs just know when they've found an excellent human! Megan is very sweet and very kind to both humans and animals, and is 1000% trustworthy with both the care of your furbaby AND with having her in your home. Absolutely amazing sitter. Highly recommended without hesitation!

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 Sayreville Junction 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 Sayreville Junction 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Sayreville Junction 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!

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.

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.

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.
