About: I have been taking care of animals most of my life! I have my own dog her name is Revvy and she is my whole entire world! I also have experience with pigs, chickens, fish, and so much more! I have lots of love to give to all kinds of animals. I just want to be able to care for all furry kinds of friends and give them the love and attention they deserve. I work at a doggy day care and boarding facility but always make time for my dog, we always are out early in the morning to tire her out so she isn’t missing me too much when I am at work! Then we go out after work. I am mostly available early mornings and possibly late evenings. I will treat them as my own, give them lots of love and attention. I will protect them and provide them with everything they need. I just hope that they will end up loving me as much as they would be loved by me.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 12 years old. I’ve pet-sat for many people in my life, from Shih Tzus, to black labs, to cats, and chickens! I love going on long walks outside, or just spending time chilling with a more peaceful pet inside! I truly love animals and will treat your pet like they’re my own! As a current college student, I have a very flexible schedule. My classes are spread out throughout the day, which makes it easy to check on or walk pets multiple times during the day. I have availability all throughout the morning, afternoon, and weekday! In your home, I make sure to take care of your pet and also your space! I recognize that it’s a big ask to let a stranger into your home to watch the animals you love so much, so I understand if you want to meet first! When walking or pet sitting, I truly see them like my own! I love to know as much information as you can give me about their preferences, behaviors, likes and dislikes so I can adjust accordingly.

“Words honestly can’t describe how amazing Kelley was! This was my first time using Rover and my senior Boxer’s first time having someone come in for drop-ins. I had to leave out town and couldn’t have imagined boarding her. Kelley was kind, communicative, and most importantly patient and understanding given that Sadie was a little hesitant at first. Kelley eased all my worries and even gave a fantastic suggestion on what could help ease some of Sadie’s hesitancy. I will definitely be booking Kelley again!”

I’m a working professional and proud Golden Retriever puppy parent! 🐶 I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, including feeding, walking, potty training, playtime, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

Whether your pup needs a walk, some playtime, or extra cuddles, I’m happy to help make their day a little brighter! 🐾 I live in a newly developed area that's dog friendly, and also has a dog spa on site in-case your dog needs a bath after a day of play!

About: Hi! My family has always had dogs for as long as I can remember. From puppies madness to senior sunsets, I’ve loved every stage that comes with having pets.

About: I have been caring for pets for 25 years. In the past 5 years I have been employed as a groomer apprentice and a dog walker and pet sitter. This past year I decided to start my own small business in the pet Care industry. I am an intuitive and reliable pet caregiver. I have worked with reactive dogs, senior dogs and puppies leash training. I have administered medications, injectables and infusions. My dream is to have a thriving business doing what I love most --caring for animals! I already take care of animals on a daily basis. I have a few clients already and I have my own two small friendly dogs (Morkie and Maltese) that I take care of, so I would say I take precautions and take steps to care for animals without much thought but just as an innate response from living with and around animals. I have a fenced in yard and I have two dogs if your pet needs company. If your pet does not do well with other animals I have gates in my house where I can keep everybody separate and safe if needed. I will say my home environment is more for socializing a dog to be safe with kids and other dogs. When visiting your home I make sure waters are refreshed, accidents cleaned up, litter scooped, pets are fed, walked, played with and worn out, and in a calm and safe environment before I leave. I will always take extra initiative whether it be bringing mail or a package inside, putting garbage and recycling bins back in, or locking a door that needs to be locked when you are away so you can know everything is taken care of.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - South Bound Brook

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in South Bound Brook is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $37 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 October 2026, there are 16,146 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across South Bound Brook. 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.

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 South Bound Brook 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 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.

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 South Bound Brook 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 South Bound Brook. On Rover:

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 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.
