About: I have three years of experience walking other dogs in my neighborhood back home. I have cared for dogs of different sizes and personalities. Additionally, I have spent my whole life caring for my own family’s dogs, including daily walks around the neighborhood and longer walks at the beach. I love dogs and love caring for them! I am in my senior year at ASU. As a student, I focus mainly on my studies, however I have a lot of time in between my classes and I am looking to fill this time with dog walking! My schedule is very flexible, just reach out! For dog walking, my priority is keeping pets safe and comfortable. I will make sure to follow the routine set by their owner and listen to the pets' needs. I will stay aware of surroundings at all times, adjusting each walk to match what your dog is comfortable with.

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: Growing up with dogs has taught me that every pet has a unique personality and set of needs. I bring a lot of energy and confidence to my walks, making me a great fit for larger, high-energy breeds or young pups who are still working on their leash manners. At the same time, I have a deep respect and gentle approach for senior pets who require extra patience, medication administration, or just a calm companion to keep them company With football coaching wrapped up for the season, my schedule is completely open and dedicated to pet care. Because I don't have conflicting commitments, I can offer flexible, highly reliable availability throughout the week for midday walks, drop-in visits, or consistent routines. Your dog will be my main priority, ensuring they get plenty of attention, exercise, and structured care exactly when they need it. In my clients' homes, my top priority is maintaining your dog's established routine while keeping your home secure. I double check locks, ensure gates are closed tightly, and always stick to the specific feeding and medication schedules you provide. If a dog is staying at my home, they enter a secure, dog friendly environment where they are treated like family. Because I'm home full time right now, your pet will never be left unsupervised, and they will enjoy a structured routine of frequent backyard play, supervised socialization, and plenty of safe space to relax.

Emily was fantastic! She was wonderfully communicative throughout the entire process from when we first contacted her for a meet and greet, all the way til the last visit ended. She not only read all our lengthy instructions and brutally honest descriptions of all 3 of our pups, but retained all the info on them, as well. Our pups loved her sweet demeanor, and the attention she gave each of them. She was super punctual and trustworthy. Will definitely be using her again while she's available and not at school!

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.

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.

About: I've taken care of mutiple dogs with different disabilities to dogs with high energy and needs lots of play time. Depending on the age and activity it can handle depends my routine with them. If its a puppy, I will make sure to follow the guidelines set and to practice its skill to not collect bad habits. I am currently a leasing agent. My time spent with any pet will be the same. I will designate my days off to this app to help fellow neighbors Each situation is different depending on housing if it has a fence or how the dog is with people and other dogs. My main concern is being there if the dog needs to go to the bathroom or its daily walks. Then when its an over night visit. I make sure the dog knows its safe until the owner is home. If it were to come to my home I would ensure it is comfortable with the enviornment and bring toys and treats to help the dog settle in.

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: As a lifelong animal lover, dog mom to my energetic 2-year-old Golden Retriever, Boomer, and mom of three active kids, caring for others comes naturally to me. Our home and lifestyle are very active, so I’m comfortable handling dogs with lots of energy, big personalities, and different needs. I have experience with pets both big and small and understand how important it is to keep them safe, exercised, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, cuddles, check-ins, or dependable in-home care, I treat every animal like part of the family and care for them with patience, attention, and genuine love. My schedule is very flexible thanks to my career in real estate, which allows me to adjust my day around client and pet care needs. I’m available for morning, midday, evening, and weekend walks or drop-ins, and I can often accommodate last-minute requests. Because I create my own schedule, I’m able to provide reliable, attentive care and plenty of time and attention for your pets. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. As both a dog owner and mom, I understand how important trust and communication are when someone is caring for a member of your family. I’m attentive, dependable, and respectful of both your home and your pet’s individual needs. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels and always focus on creating a calm, positive environment where pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, walking routines, crate training preferences, and any special care requests to help keep your pet comfortable and stress-free.

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!

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!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Seaside Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Seaside Heights on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,585 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:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% 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.
