About: Hi! I’m Gillian, a professional dog groomer with over 8 years of experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. Throughout my career, I’ve handled thousands of dogs, including puppies, seniors, anxious pets, and dogs with special needs. My experience allows me to recognize changes in behavior, monitor for health concerns, and provide calm, confident care. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, overnight care, or grooming services, I will treat them like they’re my own and make their safety, comfort, and happiness my top priorities. I work as a professional dog groomer during the day and offer pet care services before and after work, as well as on weekends. During house sitting stays, pets must be comfortable being alone for several hours on weekdays. I prioritize communication and will provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you can feel confident your pet is receiving excellent care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. With over 8 years of professional experience working with dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, I am comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, and dogs with special needs. I carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, exercise routines, and household rules. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a calm, safe, and stress-free experience while you’re away.

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.

My cat is my world and I’ve never left him for longer than a week until recently. I felt so at ease knowing he was in excellent hands. Gabby has been his sitter for a few months now and I can always tell how much he enjoys his time with her! Always delighted to know he’s still getting love while I’m gone.

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 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.

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!

About: I have had dogs my whole life and always have been around dogs. I started off with watching friends pets when they traveled. Then our family dog recently passed away and thought this would be a great idea to have dogs around again . I currently work part time from home and work 2 nights a week for 3 hours , and my husband is home during that time. I have a very large fenced in yard to keep your pets safe. They can be crated if wanted and have a room downstairs by my back door for them to be safe in too. My kids love helping take care of the pets and it makes it a fun loving environment for your animals!

About: I love all animals! I am very patient and engaging with dogs and cats. I believe our pets are part of the family and I just want to make your loved one feel special and happy during the time that you are away. I cared for my beagle for a long time he has since gone to the large rainbow in the sky. I frequently dog sit and cat sit for my friends and family. I specialize in giving medication to cats and dogs. I have experience with small dogs, large dogs, picky eaters and older dogs and cats as well. Safety is priority when it comes down to it. I would not do anything that will harm or make your pet feel uncomfortable. I would love to take care of your furry friend and make them feel right at home! I am on my going back to school journey. I am currently a student at OCC and I attended classes once a week to allow myself to work part time as a house cleaner,a care taker and of course here on Rover. I am going to school to become a nurse. Only 2 more classes until nursing school! I'm pretty flexible let me know what time works best to me and we can figure it out! I have a large backyard and a friendly adult cat he gets along well with other dogs after a meetup up. He loves people as well.

About: I’ve had animals all my life! I don’t mind big dogs or cats and I will make sure they are taken very good care of! I am trustworthy and hard working. I’ve served in the military for 8 years as well. Weekday/weekend Early mornings, early evenings, and late nights are best for my schedule. I will make sure to accommodate any special requests or extra time too. I have a cat who is 11 years old and she is afraid of her own shadow. We thought by getting a kitten it would help bring her out of her shell, but it made her very stressed. We had to give the kitten to our best friends to ensure our cat lives a happy stress free life.

About: My name is Christine and I have a friendly family of four! Our family loves to love up animals! I will take exceptional care of your babies while you're away. We live in a four bedroom colonial home with a fenced in backyard. We live mins away from Cattus Island park and trails that we frequent everyday! If you need someone to come to your house and take care of the animals I am definitely up for the task. I will treat your home and your babies like mine so you can rest assured. Dog walking is our specialty we love the outdoors and fresh air. Our home is friendly, smoke free, covid free, and clean. I look forward to walking and playing with them! I am flexible! I am willing to work with whatever you have going on and if I cannot accommodate I make sure to tell you upfront! I have a fenced in backyard. I can block off front door as an added level of security to ensure no running. I have a "dogroom" that the beds and play items can go so if your pup wants a break from the house they have their own space. Otherwise they're welcome to roam free!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Seaside Heights on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,562 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.
