I am currently a stay at home mom so I will have plenty of time to give your pet all the care and love they need! I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for play and two loving older dogs of my own who love to relax, sun bathe on the deck and sleep all day.

About: With over 15 years of experience as a responsible pet owner and lifelong animal lover, I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes, weights, and breeds. Although limited I do have experience caring for cats. (My girlfriend has cats) Alongside this, I bring 25 years of professional project management experience, which means I’m organized, reliable, and attentive to details. I truly enjoy caring for animals and would genuinely look forward to giving your pets the attention, care, and respect they deserve. I work from home M-F. My weekend availability is spotty as I work in Lambertville NJ some Saturdays and Sundays (seasonal) so just ask and I will do my best to accommodate. I will care for your pets in your home exactly how you do. I appreciate precise details of your pet’s habits, things that bring them happiness and expectations of anyone caring for them.

About: As a lover of all fur babies, I happily work with a variety of sizes, ages, and personalities. From energetic wigglers to couch snugglers, and from ankle-biter babies to powdered sugar snouts, I’m here to give your pet a tail-wagging experience. I work as a full time Emergency Medical Technician. This means I work longer shifts for only a few days per week. This leaves me plenty of time to spend with your baby! Your baby is family, and I make sure to treat them as such. I take care of feedings, walks, playtime, and snuggles of course! I make sure to stick to their normal routine so they stay comfy and stress-free. I am also happy to learn medication administration if necessary. You’ll receive updates and photos as desired so you don’t have to miss a thing!

About: My passion in life is spending time with dogs! Whether it’s swimming, hiking, or a simple stroll, I’m an active and caring pet owner who truly enjoys taking care of furry friends. For social pups, my dog Theo—who is fully up to date on vaccinations—would love to join for a play session. Or, if your pet prefers a solo outing, we can keep it to a relaxing walk tailored to their needs. With the season in full swing, let me take care of your dog so you can enjoy peace of mind, knowing they’re in loving hands! Caring for pets is a natural part of my daily routine! As an active dog owner, I incorporate walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures into my schedule. Whether it’s a morning stroll, an afternoon hike, or an evening cuddle session, I make sure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I provide a secure and loving environment where dogs feel comfortable and happy. Whether on a walk or during playtime, I ensure they are always supervised, cared for, and treated like family.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for about five years for neighbors, family friends, and people in my hometown. I grew up with dogs and currently have my own, so I’m very comfortable around animals and used to being responsible for them daily. I’ve cared for dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. I’m used to longer walks for high-energy dogs, sticking to specific feeding schedules, crate routines, and helping pets that might be anxious when their owners are away. I pay attention to instructions and try to keep their routine as normal as possible. I’m also very communicative. I send updates and photos because I know it makes a difference when you’re away from your pet. I take commitments seriously and try to make things easy and stress-free for owners. ’m a full-time college student, but I plan my schedule carefully and build pet care around my classes. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, and I’m always clear about my availability ahead of time. If I commit to a booking, I make sure I can fully follow through. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with respect and follow all care instructions closely. I double-check doors, leashes, and gates and make sure pets are secure before leaving. My goal is to keep everything consistent and safe so both you and your pet feel comfortable.

About: I've grown up with and have been surrounding by dogs my whole life. I have fostered 50+ dogs through a local animal shelter to save them from threatening situations. I have been a veterinary assistant for 4 years and have worked at three different animal hospitals! I am an active and continuous volunteer at two different animal shelters. I am currently an undergraduate student on the pre-veterinary track. I have recently started pet sitting/ walking to get more time with animals! I am an animal care intern working part time so my hours change weekly but am pretty flexible. I am available most weekends for walkings and visits and most weekdays for dog sittings. I try to make the pets as comfortable as possible, especially if they are in an unfamiliar environment or meeting me for the first time. I love animals and just want to give them all the love in the world, but understand that they have boundaries the same way people do. I am also very comfortable handing medical treatments/ pill upkeep if the animal needs.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 10 years, not only my own but friends and family as well, through pet sitting, house sitting, walks, feeding, medication administration, and overnight care. My long-term goal is to become a veterinarian, and I’m currently training to become a veterinary assistant/tech while continuing my education in animal medicine. Caring for animals is something I’m truly passionate about, not just a side job. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, high-energy dogs, shy pets, and multi-pet households. I always focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I currently have a pretty flexible schedule. I work at a veterinary clinic around 4-5 days a week, with most days being pretty flexible hours. I’m available for walks, drop in’s and house sitting during most weekdays and weekends. I’m very reliable, responsive, and understand how important consistency and routine are for pets. Your pets safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. With my veterinary assistant training and future career goals in veterinary medicine, I pay close attention to animal behavior, health, routines, and stress levels. I am comfortable administering medications when needed and handling pets calmly and patiently. I will always treat your pets like family and your home with respect and care.

About: I’ve grown up with my own dogs to take care of as well as helping friends with their pets. If someone was to take care of my dog, I’d want them to be loving, responsible, and friendly and that’s exactly how I’d be with your pup! I’m here to help you out, so you just have to let me know when :) I work full time 8-4, Monday to Friday. Any time after my work hours I can help. And I can do any day or time on the weekends if I’m available. If you have a fence, I’m triple checking that it’s locked before we play outside. And making sure their bed is as comfy as mine is only fair!

About: I provide dependable, loving care and treat every dog like family. I’m patient with puppies, gentle with senior dogs, and always focus on safety, comfort, exercise, and personalized attention during every walk or visit. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and walk everyday regardless as fitness is a part of my routine. Due to being in college at Ocean County I have plenty of time on my hands to give to help a busy pet parent out and help pay for school. Im flexible, dependable, and able to give pets consistent attention, care, and special treatment given owners request. When caring for pets, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and following their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I also keep the home clean, respect the owner’s instructions, and provide regular updates with photos and messages. My goal is to make pets feel relaxed and cared for while their owners are away.

About: What sets me apart is my reliable, loving care that puts pets first. I’m experienced with giving medications, following each pet’s unique routine, and making sure they get plenty of outdoor time and attention. I treat every animal like family—with patience, consistency, and genuine affection. I’m currently self employed so I make my own schedule. Monday, Wednesday, and sometimes weekends work best right now. I can work around days as well. I can easily follow whatever instructions are left for me. My home is fenced in and has gates so your pet getting out wouldn’t be a problem.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have always been a dog lover. As well, I have worked at a dog kennel where I was in charge of feeding all of the dogs and letting them out to go the bathroom. The dogs ranged in ages from puppies all the way up to senior dogs which needed assistance in getting up to start walking. There is no dog too young or too old for me. I will embrace and love your best friend like they are my own! We will go for walks and play every night to make sure your best friends does not miss you too much! If you have any questions, please don’t be afraid to ask. Let’s have a barking good time together!

I can’t recommend Taylor highly enough! She took wonderful care of my dog, cat, and even my hermit crabs while I was away. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. She kept me updated with regular messages and adorable photos, which really put my mind at ease. All of my pets were clearly happy, comfortable, and well looked after. It’s not easy finding someone you can fully trust with your animals, but Taylor is truly one of a kind. I’ll be booking her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Seaside Heights on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 1,566 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Seaside Heights. 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 Seaside Heights 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 Seaside Heights 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 Seaside Heights 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 Seaside Heights. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.
