“Chandra is very kind and took great care of Layka for us!! He communicated with us and was very easy to work with. We hope to have him care for Layka (and Sludge) again! :)”
“Xingcheng (Connie) looked after my two boys, Bobby and Jack, for 14 days while I was traveling, and she is hands-down the most reliable and best cat sitter I have ever had! She connected with them instantly, played with them regularly, and sent me tons of daily pictures and videos. I always felt completely at ease knowing they were in such excellent care. She gave me regular updates on their food and kept the litter box spotlessly clean. Communication was fantastic throughout the entire stay, so I always knew exactly how they were doing. I will definitely book with Connie again and highly recommend her!”
“Heidi is a true pets lover, my cat Max usually does not like strangers but he let her petting him on the first day! She took a very good care of my cat, feeding him, and brush his hair, play with him that gives us a peace of mind to be away from our home. Thanks for her great help!”
“This is our second booking with Alexis for dog care services. She did a wonderful job for us once again. She is caring and thoughtful towards our Ringo and Rosie's needs and respectful and dutiful in our home environment. We appreciate her dedicated care in working with our dogs!”
“Sha provided fantastic care. She is extremely reliable, responds very aptly to any updates, and pays close attention to detail by following all of my specific instructions carefully. I would gladly book her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“Kriti had taken great care of our cat Maomi last two days. Even this was the first time our cat met her and our cat was willing to be close to her and enjoy her care. Thanks.”
About: With over a decade of devoted pet care, I've nurtured furry friends like family. From daily walks to happy petting sessions, I provide the love that keeps tails wagging. Pets are treated like family here, so they have a home away from home, when you can't be with them. --If any dates are blocked out/closed for the dates you are seeking (especially for dog walking/drop ins), please reach out to me via message and we can see if we have options available. -- I'm a stay-at-home dad that gets to hang with the kids and pets! There is plenty of play time and walk time so everyone thrives. I have a fenced in yard with two friendly dogs that love to play and run. Pets are like family here so they can also hang with us inside or play as much outside as they want.
“Words simply cannot express how grateful I am for Ami and James. Ami went wayyy above and beyond for us and our fur babies. They sent me messages when they were enroute to our home which put my mind at ease. Then, photos and/or videos were "worth a thousand words" as the saying goes. Ami is literally a lifesaver. I will definitely be booking again. (Thanks again, Ami.)”
“Frida was wonderful with our very shy cat! She tried for 2 days to get him to come out and play and on the third day he did! He played and let her pet him which means he was one happy cat! Frida took good care of him and our house, we highly recommend her and would welcome her back anytime.”
“When we returned home after 4 days away, Caesar was friendly and happy, so that tells me that Tracy did a nice job visiting, petting and feeding Caesar. Caesar often will not make an appearance for guests but he came right upstairs to see Tracy each visit.”
“Responsible and very responsive sitter! I appreciate Hannah's attention to detail. She was available for a last minute request with this booking and was also able to come for an additional visit so I could extend my vacation. Thank you!!”
“My kitty was very happy when Megan came. She kept us update with pictures and messages. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing our little guy was being taken care of.”
About: I have always loved animals. Beginning in middle school, I would always volunteer at shelters because I saw the great need for help with so many dogs that had been abandoned or rescued from neglect. and I myself decided to adopt a few of them and give them the life meant for a prince or princess:) I am always vigilant to their wellbeing, I love playing with them, they give so much unconditional love. I love my dogs with all my heart. I currently work with an attorney as a paralegal in Princeton Junction, NJ. I get plenty of breaks during the day, and that’s when I take care of dogs! 🐕 🐕🐕 I can always work around your schedule and your needs. I can dog sit at night, and/or overnight boarding, Saturday and Sunday all day:) I am also available during the day to walk dogs and check up on them❤️ My parents have a big fenced in yard, which is great for my 2 dogs to play around. There’s also a big dog park not far for more playtime and there’s plenty of playgrounds too to take the doggies for a walk.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life. I have BA from Rutgers and AAS in Veterinary nursing. I passed the National veterinary technician boards in 1999. I worked at the University of Pennsylvania Veterinary School as an ICU, fluid therapy and neurology nurse practitioner. I trained veterinary students, veterinary nursing student and worked with clinical residents and attending veterinarians. I have experience with senior pets, pets with ambulatory challenges, pets requiring medications and sick pets. I’ve worked with a wide variety of pets including birds, rabbits, ferrets, snakes, hamsters, rats, mice and fish, and other reptiles. I’d love to help care for your pets! As a pet mommy myself I know how important it is to have a trusted care giver when you can’t be home. I am currently very flexible and can have plenty of availability to meet your needs. It will be easy to work with your busy schedule. I am willing to provide the care your pet needs, whether it’s walks, yard play or just sitting with them if they are older and need company. You tell me what they need or like!
“Kaitlyn did a great job! We are so grateful that she not only fed and checked on our cats, but took the time to play with them and give them the attention they need as young cats. She was communicative, followed all of the feeding instructions we had, and went above and beyond. Kaitlyn is a responsible pet sitter and we would definitely hire her again. Thank you!!”
About: I’ve cared and loved dogs of various backgrounds. In my experience, I’ve successfully integrated a reactive dog with others, while maintaining a loving environment. I’ll make sure your pet gets the enrichment they need to fulfill a life an animal deserves (love and fun) ! I’m currently working full time from Mon-Friday from 9-6PM and mostly free on weekends. But know that after work feeling of wanting to just hangout, focus on hobbies, or go out to eat. That’s where I come in! I’d be happy to help drop in and make sure your pet gets the love and proper care they need so that you can have time for yourselves! :) I’m open to many services of care, whether that’d be taking your beloved pet outside to receive the enrichment they need, OR will happily take care of your pup and take the time they need to train at home.
About: ACCEPTING SAME DAY/ SHORT NOTICE BOOKINGS Hello!! I’ve had dogs and cats and pets of all kinds since I was a kid! So it’s over 20 years now 🥲 I have 5 years of experience as a volunteer for my local shelter, fostering kittens and dogs. I’ve cared for sick and skittish animals. I’ve personally had mostly small and medium shelter recuses, but I’ve cared for all types, big or small! I’ve had 3 cats for the last 10 years and I’m a certified cat lover 😻😻 I’ve also looked after guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, and even frogs, so basically if it has fur, fins, or a tank, I’ve probably fed it at some point. I’m excited to look after your fur babies as well! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I keep a flexible, full-time schedule so I can be available whenever care is needed! I’m available for overnights, regular check-ins, and walks whenever your pet needs them, including weekdays and weekends. Whatever routine your pet is used to, I can work around it!! Since I care for pets in their own home, I can keep their routine exactly as it is if you were there. The same food times, same walk schedule, same rules. I’m careful about doors and gates, keep the home secure while you’re away, and treat your space with the same respect I’d want for my own :))

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Skillman
Heidi is an amazing pet sitter. She took great care of our cat and hens. She made every effort to bond with Sky such that we came home to a very happy and contented cat. Heidi has a gift for providing positive interactions with our pet. She is reliable and responsible. Her regular visits provided confidence in our cat that he was well cared for while we were traveling. We enjoyed seeing photos of every visit. Heidi really made our guy feel so loved and cared for that he pushed his "I love you." button for Heidi.
Courtney is absolutely wonderful to work with!! Two of our cats are on medication every 12 hours and she jumped in and learned their routine so quickly! She did a fabulous job administering insulin, an inhaler and a pill! Courtney kept us updated and sent cute photos each visit. Thank you Courtney for taking such great care of our kitties, we appreciate you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Skillman on Rover is $31.64 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 4,874 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Skillman. 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 Skillman 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.
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 Skillman. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
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.
