About: I’m on Rover to help you out with any / all your pets needs while you’re away! I work full time as a student analyst in a public school. I don’t dog train, but I am familiar with any techniques that you may need for your pup! I have 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own. I have experience with all breeds! All mutts and senior pups are welcome. I also have experience administering medication to dogs. All dogs of breeds and age deserve attention and love. I’d love it if you let me love your pets as if they are my own too! Thank you for reading this. I am able to work with the families in terms of what they need. My calendar may not always reflect accurately as my times with my full-time job (human) clients do fluctuate. If it is blocked off it means I am 100% unavailable. I don’t recommend myself in terms of full-on puppy training and 24/7 puppy care due to my schedule but I am versed in the training techniques due to my career. I am available weekends for extra care and staying in your home full time. My pets are well loved and taken care of while I care for others. I will never be able to host in my home, so please consider this! I offer in home care, overnight, daily walks, and check ins. Animals will not be hosted in my home due to a senior dog I have who is on medication. For those reasons, home sitting is only available in terms of long care. I have done walks, trips to stores, parks, yard play, and car trips with fur babies for daily drop ins, walks, or overnight stays!

About: I am a super big animal lover!! I have had cats and dogs my whole life and I couldn’t imagine life without them. I’ve raised two of my dogs from puppies and love to teach them tricks and commands. I love to take them to the beach or the park, it’s my favorite part of the day. I work from home and have plenty of time to take care of your pet!! I love to go on walks, runs, or take your pup to the beach! I love to be active so any activity that permits dogs I WILL be taking them !!! If I am laying around my house, my dogs are on my lap and we’re hanging out together. I have a puppy and we’re attached at the hip. I love doing things with my pets and tend to not let them out of my sight for long periods of time.

About: I love ALL animals and have cared for all types from small mammals to reptiles and felines! I believe in treating pets like family members and understand each has their own personality! I grew up with dogs /pets my entire life from pit bulls to pugs and rabbits to frogs. I love to be active and out in nature with my four rescue dogs! I am experienced in senior care and young pets alike. I also have skills with basic training of all age. I can't wait to meet your baby and provide them with entertainment and enrichment while you are away! I am currently working on my master's degree in an online program and work part time, both responsibilities warrant flexible hours that I am able to schedule myself. This will allow me to give your baby my full focus, attention, and loving! I have a fenced in yard and a basement that can act as a separation if need be. I am reliable and physically strong and love to play and cuddle with pets that want to or am just as able to give them the space to try to have them gain my trust. I am also experienced in bathing large, anxious dogs.

About: Hey There! My name is Ashley and I am a pet enthusiast. I’ve had 20+ years of being around all types of dogs and cats and they are just the best! Why not let them get a little a little R&R while you get a little too! I personally have two dogs of my own that I love dearly. I have a lot of experience with clients who have large quantities of pets. So if you have more than one animal that needs to be taken care of that is absolutely okay! I think I will be the best fit for your animal sitting needs because who wouldn’t want someone so passionate about animals taking care of their very own pet? Look forward to hearing from you soon! I currently work full time early morning shift at the hospital. I get out early just in time for mid day to later evening sittings. I am available anytime during the weekend. I have a fenced in yard big enough for all the days play they will need! A lot of running around and fetch happen here so they don’t want to miss out!

“Kasper is always the best! They go above and beyond for our kitties in every way: staying extra if they feel they need it, cleaning up barf (ugh). Also, watering my plants, and checking on my tortoise lol. I also always feel my house is safe and locked up while away. I could not recommend Kasper any more highly.”

About: Hi! My name is Chelsea and im 30 years old. I have been fostering animals (with my family) since I was 8 years old and on my own since I was 22. I love all animals and long walks. I’m currently working part time and remote so I’ll have plenty of time for your pets! I make my own schedule so I am flexible and reliable. Use code CHELSP42284 for $40 off your first service with Rover. I am patient and calm and understand there may be an adjusting period before your pet feels safe with a new handler. With many years of foster experience of both cats and dogs, I know how to familiarize myself with a pet and make them feel the most comfortable. I will always be respectful of your home (if a drop in or house sit) and clean up after any messes. I will be respectful of your time and wishes for walks.

About: I am a pre-veterinary student. Being with animals is like a second nature to me! I have many years of experience caring for pets, including dogs, cats, reptiles, and fish. I own two dogs of my own and have been pet-sitting for family and friends for over eight years. My experience includes walking, feeding, bathing, administering medication, and providing gentle, loving care. I am very attentive and always keeping an eye out, safety is always my priority. I treat every pet as if they were my own and ensure they are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I can do weekday mornings (before 2pm) and afternoons (after 5pm). I am a student so I have class midday! I am unavailable weekends due to an internship! I find it so important to be communicative with owners and follow exactly what is instructed for pet care. I can ensure that I can provide the level of trust, care and safety you and your pet will need!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Seaside Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Seaside Heights is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $22 per visit. 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 1,542 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Seaside Heights. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Seaside Heights. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.

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.
