About: I work from home as a designer so I have plenty of time to care for your pet! I have loved animals since I was little when I had my own dog and cat. Now I welcome your furry friend to join me on the couch or a walk, so you have the peace of mind knowing that they're taken care of. I work flexible hours from home, so I have plenty of time to care for your dog or cat. I am available throughout the day. I adapt to the rules and routines of any household I am welcomed into. I aim to make your pet comfortable with my presence so I can care for them.
About: Hi I’m Angelica, i’ve owned so many dogs throughout my life from tiny dogs to big dogs, I currently have two of my own dogs and walk them every day as is, I would love to go on walks with other dogs as well and get some exorcise in with your dogs as well! I adore all sorts of animals! I’m a high school senior, so I get out of school anywhere from 12-1 which is early, so anytime after that I can come walk dogs or take care of cats or whatever is needed of me to do. I do not allow animals in my house but I can come to your house and walk your dog or check on the cat whenever is needed.
“As the owner of a reactive dog, I never thought I would feel comfortable leaving Leo with someone else but Hadija completely exceeded my expectations. Months before my two week vacation, I reached out to Hadija and together we came up with a plan to help Leo get to know her. We scheduled regular walks leading up to my trip so that by the time he stayed with her, she was already someone he knew. Leo is a high needs dog with his own challenges but Hadija handled everything with so much patience, confidence and care. Knowing he was in such good hands allowed me to truly enjoy my vacation. She sent me countless updates, photos and videos every single day, so I always knew how Leo was doing. It was obvious how much she genuinely cared about him. This was our first experience with Hadija but it definitely won’t be our last. I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Monique is a great and reliable sitter! She did great with our dog who is old and a little stubborn. We had some issues with our house that she handled responsibly. Overall, a great sitter!”
About: I've been a dog owner since I was about 10 years old and have cared for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, administering oral medications if needed, or simply providing companionship, I'll care for your pet as if they were my own. My background as a licensed nurse has taught me to be dependable, attentive to detail, and calm in any situation, giving you peace of mind that your furry family member is in good hands. I currently have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, overnight care, or extra attention while you're away, I'm committed to providing dependable, loving care and keeping you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any medications or special instructions before every visit. I treat every home with respect and keep pets secure by following your instructions carefully, ensuring doors, gates, and leashes are always used properly. As a licensed nurse, I'm calm under pressure, attentive to details, and comfortable recognizing when something doesn't seem right, so you can feel confident your pet is in caring, capable hands.
About: Gentle & reliable dog walker. Grew up with a Labrador, so I know the love (and energy!) dogs bring. Your pup’s safety & fun always come first 😊. My schedule is pretty relaxed. I have a part-time job from 4-8 pm Monday-Wednesday and work from home Thursday and Friday. Weekends are also generally free, but sometimes I have to take time to help take care of some stuff for my parents. My fenced-in backyard and the safety of my neighborhood provide peace of mind. Since I don’t have any other pets in my home, you can rest assured that your pets won’t encounter any issues or conflicts within the household.

“Amanda is an outstanding sitter! She stayed at our home while we were away to watch our dog, Edna. Amanda consistently went above and beyond to ensure that Edna was well cared for and loved - including making sure Edna’s routine was followed and also taking her on outings/fun trips and helping her eat when she was nervous. Amanda is a great communicator, providing frequent photo updates and check ins. There were several scheduling logistics that emerged during Amanda’s stay with our dog and Amanda was constantly in close communication with us each step of the way. She made sure everything was well coordinated with Edna’s care amidst a transition between sitters and another personal dynamic that came up. We were so reassured knowing that Edna was so well taken care of while we were away! We are grateful to Amanda for her thoughtful and attentive care. We highly recommend Amanda as a dog and house sitter!”
“I cannot recommend Tiaesha enough. She is great with both my dog and cat, and she keeps me updated every step of the way. I feel very lucky to have found her and cannot wait to use her in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sewaren
Jamie did an OUTSTANDING JOB taking care of our two pups! We were updated daily with pictures and videos and never for one second thought our dogs weren’t in the most perfect of hands. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for someone to care for there dogs to use Jamie as we will definitely be using her more often!!!
I have a senior dog that requires a lot of care. Shandy has been wonderful to make sure all her needs are met and she is properly supervised. She’s also very communicative and does well with my cat (who loves her). If you need a trustworthy sitter, I would highly recommend hiring Shandy!
Stephanie was amazing with our dogs during our 1 week vacation. She was very responsible and extremely communicative and sent us lots of pictures and videos, which we loved. She followed our instructions and our house was as we left it once we got back. She even gave us updates on our cats even though she didn’t have to. I am so glad I found her and will definitely be using her again!
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. Vanessa was amazing! Our pups all have very different needs and personalities, and she handled each of them with patience, attention, and care. When we got back, the dogs were happy, relaxed, and well taken care of. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in capable hands. We’re so grateful to Vanessa and wouldn’t hesitate to trust her again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring!
Beth was very communicative and flexible while accommodating our last minute plans to travel for Christmas Eve and Day. I met with Beth prior to our travel and she asked questions, provided references who were happy to provide glowing recommendations, and even returned back to meet my spouse who wasn’t available at our initial meeting. During our travel she took very good care of my dog and parrot, providing updates throughout the two days she was watching them including photos of our pets which set our minds at ease knowing our animals looked happy and well taken care of while we were away. There were absolutely zero issues with Beth. We are so happy to have found a trusted pet sitter to watch our pets.

FAQs for House Sitting - Sewaren
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sewaren on Rover is $64.2 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 18,369 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sewaren. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Sewaren 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 Sewaren 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.
Tip: 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 Sewaren 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!
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.
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 .
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.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sewaren. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
