About: My journey as a dedicated pet caregiver began 20 years ago, fueled by a deep commitment to animal welfare. I prioritize your pet's comfort and happiness by treating every companion as if they were my own. My approach centers on maintaining a safe, stimulating environment and a consistent routine. I strictly adhere to dietary needs, maintain a clean space, and remain vigilant for any signs of distress. Because I have experience with puppies, senior, special needs, and challenging pets, I am well-equipped to provide tailored, compassionate care. I remain calm during emergencies and prioritize clear communication with owners. Whether I am assisting with medication, training, or grooming, I find true joy in helping shy pets gain confidence. I am a responsible, empathetic professional who offers you total peace of mind. I truly look forward to meeting your beloved companions and welcoming them into my care. Pet care fits well into my daily routine, and I’m available on weekdays from 9:00 AM to 2:30 PM. I’m able to dedicate this time to providing attentive, reliable, and loving care for pets. I enjoy giving pets plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while maintaining their usual routines. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box or potty breaks, playtime, and any special care needs. I also make sure to give each pet plenty of attention and affection based on their personality and comfort level. I treat every home with respect and keep the space clean and tidy. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so pet parents can feel reassured that their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family was always surrounded by pets. Dogs, turtles, bunnies and even the neighborhood squirrels and deer seemed to know our house was a safe place to visit! I truly believe every living thing deserves love and care, and that's a value that was instilled in me early on. We were never able to have a dog of our own growing up since we lived in a rental, but now that I have my own home, I'm so excited to finally be able to care for dogs the way I've always wanted to. I have hands-on experience. I’ve stayed overnight for two weeks to care for a friend’s dog, handling feeding, walks, and all-around care. My relatives also have dogs of all different sizes and breeds, so I'm very comfortable and confident around dogs of any type. I’ve also cat sat for my close teacher for about a month several times as well. Even when a dog isn't mine, I make it a point to visit, bring treats, and make them feel special and I bring that same love and attention to every dog I care for. Your pup will get lots of playtime, cuddles, and kisses, and I'll make sure they feel completely comfortable and at ease with me from day one! I am currently working and taking classes remotely and so I’ll have plenty of time to spend time and take care of the dogs. In my home, your dog gets a comfortable space, regular walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles, just like part of the family. In your home, I follow your dog's normal routine closely, from feeding times to walks, so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Either way, my goal is the same: your dog feels loved and cared for like their own

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs, including puppies, senior dogs, and multiple dogs at once. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care while making sure each dog gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Whether it’s keeping up with an energetic puppy or providing gentle care for a senior dog, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine because I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I do volunteer work three times a week, but it’s only about 15 minutes from home, so I’m still able to accommodate pet care before or after volunteering. My flexible schedule allows me to be available for walks and drop-ins throughout the week at all hours For now, I provide walks and drop-in visits in my clients’ homes. I make sure each pet is comfortable, cared for, and follows their usual routine as closely as possible. During drop-ins, I can provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention based on each pet’s individual needs. For walks, I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and properly exercised.

About: Growing up I have had 4 dogs and 6 cats total. Currently I have 2 cats of my own and I babysit my parents 2 dogs and 2 cats. They onboard at my house whenever they need too. I also take care of my neighbors cat regularly when they travel abroad. I am available to do home visits every day before 830am after 5pm during the week. Weekends I am fully available. I am a full time Registered Nurse. I take care of people full time and would love to help take care of your mini family member part time :) I’m currently working full time 8:30-5pm as a Registered Nurse. I go home for lunch from 12:30-1:30. I am home all weekend long. I am available to do home visits before 830 am and after 5pm on week days and fully available on the weekend:) I have a fully fenced in yard for your dogs to run around in. I have a large pet bed for inside as well as a large crate if needed! If I am visiting your home for pet care I encourage a camera to be there to ensure you are comfortable with me being in your home. I would only enter allowed rooms and make sure your fur baby is doo g great and in pristine health.

“Marc was wonderful with our kitties! From the very first meet-and-greet, he was sweet, kind, professional, thoughtful, and respectful, which immediately made us feel comfortable leaving our cats in his care. During each visit, Marc went above and beyond to make sure our kitties were happy, cared for, and loved. He kept us consistently informed with updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that he truly cared about their well-being and took the time to make them feel safe and comfortable. We are so grateful for the care Marc provided and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring cat/dog sitter. Our kitties were in great hands!”

About: Hi! I’m Rebecca! I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, and I’m currently a proud pet mom to three of my own—a dog and two cats. ❤️🐶🐱🐱 I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Whether your pup needs a walk and some playtime, your cat needs a little company, or your pets need someone reliable to check in on them, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. What you can expect from me: 🐾 Lots of love, attention & playtime 📸 Photos and updates during every visit 📝 Following feeding, medication, potty, and other routines carefully 💕 Patience with shy, nervous, energetic, or cuddly pets 🏡 Respect for your home and your instructions I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in good hands. I’d love to meet you and your furry family! 🐾❤️ During the week, I work as a paraprofessional at the Matheny School in Peapack-Gladstone, New Jersey. I’m typically at work by 8:30 AM and finish around 4:00 PM. I’m available for pet care before work, on my way to work, and after work, making it easy to accommodate morning walks, drop-ins, evening walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of cuddles! Weekends are generally very flexible, and I’m usually available for longer visits, walks, drop- ins, and extended care. I’m happy to work with your pet’s individual routine and schedule whenever possible. 🐶🐱💕 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, and any special needs or preferences your pet may have. I’m attentive to their behavior and surroundings and will always prioritize their safety. I also believe communication is important! I’ll keep you updated during visits and send photos so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away. When caring for pets in their own home, I’ll treat your space with the same respect and care I would want someone to show my own home. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. ❤️🐾

About: As a lifelong animal lover and proud German Shepherd mom, I bring hands-on experience with pets of all kinds, from puppies and seniors to anxious, reactive, and differently-abled dogs. I’ve also cared for cats, birds, bunnies, fish, and geckos, so no pet is too unique! My approach is warm and nurturing by nature, but I adapt to whatever your pet needs. Structured and calm for reactive dogs, playful and patient for puppies, and gentle and attentive for seniors. Every animal deserves to feel safe and loved, and that’s exactly what I deliver. I am currently available during day time, and open to taking on clients in the afternoon if available. Can do overnight sittings Sunday- Wed, and can do multiple visits in the day I am available to take care of pets in your home, whether it’s a walk, sitting or play session. Will adjust dependent on the weather and pet needs

Maria was amazing!! She was so kind and patient with my sweet (albeit difficult) cat! My cat has a bunch of health issues, and Maria did a wonderful job navigating them, including giving her meds! She kept in contact with me, sending pictures and updates that really helped put my mind at ease while I was travelling, knowing that my cat was in good hands! She was quick to respond to both my booking request and my questions, and was willing to set up a meet-and-greet with me and my cat, so that I knew she was in good hands. This is the most relaxing vacation I’ve had in years, knowing that my high-needs cat was in good hands. I will never book anybody else!!! She was so kind and patient, and my cat really liked her too! Maria did a wonderful job, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for somebody trustworthy to check in on their pet.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - South Bound Brook

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet 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 16,868 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.

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 .

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 , 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 South Bound Brook. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% 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.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
