“Jessica is an awesome pet sitter! Jessica is great with dogs, she kept us updated, and allowed us to have a fantastic time, knowing our dogs and our cat were in such good hands.”
“What a week away it has been! A blizzard forecast came out of nowhere while we were away , and even though this was the first time we used Melissa, she handled it like a trooper ! She was willing & able to do whatever was needed to prepare for the storm, regarding both the house & dog, which gave us great comfort. She also jelled quickly with our dog, and we could tell he was happy from the updates & photos we received. Melissa comes highly recommended, and we will definitely use her again!”
“Kathy has shown up when she has said she will show up and send lots of updates and pictures, which make me feel much better. My dogs clearly seemed to enjoy her and her husband's company and are so much happier staying at home when we are away. Kathy also refunded us some of our fee when we decided to come home early last minute, which she did not have to do. We will definitely be using Kathy again :D”
“Emily was great!! We have two very needy dogs and she was sure to give them all the love and keep us in the loop. Our older pup is unfortunately ill, and Emily kept our minds at ease while we were away with constant updates about how he was doing and making sure that he got his meds! Will defintely be using Emily again for pet care!”
“We absolutely love Sheryl but more then that our little girl Sugar loves her !She is so excited to see her every time she comes to sit with her and play and just give her love and attention and don’t forget the belly rubs not just anybody get’s to rub the belly ! Thank you again Sheryl🐶😍”
“Ciara was amazing and took great care of our pups. I felt very comfortable with Ciara taking care of our dogs early one because of her experience with dogs with unique behavioral needs. Thanks Ciara!”
“Donna is fantastic! We booked a drop in visit and another 5 day stay from Donna for our 2 Golden Retrievers before her first visit with Henry and Bailey was over. We feel very confident leaving our two boys with her while we are out having fun. You can feel that way too if you book Donna.”
“Melissa provided exceptionally good care for our little girl and was a great housesitter, leaving our place in great shape at the end of the stay. We got several entertaining photos and updates! We’d definitely ask for Melissa again and would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I will provide a fun, family friendly home for your beloved pet to stay while you are away. I have had 1 wonderful dog of a mixed breed that I grew up with during my childhood and one large breed dog that I owned for 10 years during my young adulthood. I currently have 3 dogs at home, 2 pugs and a female golden retriever. I only hope they can bring joy and fulfillment to my children as they grow with our family. I appreciate the time and money that you have spent in utilizing a service such as this instead of a boarding kennel. Thank you for your consideration and I hope we can meet soon! I currently work from home so I am available to care for your beloved pet at anytime of the day. I can do multiple drop-in visits throughout the day. My hours are very flexible. I can walk your dog around the neighborhood if that is what you prefer or let them out into your backyard if you would like drop-in visits at your home. I also provide boarding at my home if that is what you need. I have an unfenced backyard with a lead in the ground so your pet can be in the backyard and have safety and security to run around or I can take them on walks if that is what you would like. I also provide overnight stays as well.
“Anahi was great with taking care of our pup and cat. They were quick, friendly and professional from start to finish. Our pup, Frankie requires extra attention and Anahi handled everything great and updated us during the sit.”
“What can we say regarding Alexandria. She was perfect ! Polite, caring,punctual, professional. She gave my wife updates and photos of Chesney. While on our honeymoon, my wife Michele and I were at piece of mind. We knew right away at meet and greet, Alex was our choice and we were right. Thank you Alexandria for caring for Chesney and the flowers for Michele left on table. A thoughtful act from you. Michael”
About: Hi there! My name is Kristin and I have a lifelong passion for all animals. Growing up on a horse farm, I was surrounded by various animals and always had cats and dogs as pets. Outside of having pets growing up, I have helped out friends and family members with dog, cat, and house sitting for them over the past 10+ years. I have experience with a variety of breeds, ranging from big breeds such as Pitbulls and Boxers to smaller breeds like Yorkies and Jack Russells. I care for all animals with all my heart and your pets will be in loving hands with me! I work full time in Monmouth county, so weekends would be ideal for me. However, if your pet doesn't need to go out as frequently, I can definitely help out during the week. I am typically out of the house between 10am-6pm, so I can play with/walk/feed them before or after those times. Weekends are totally open for me so I can do whatever your pet needs. In my client's home, I will follow their typical routine and do whatever they do to care for their pets. I always respect their home and make sure I leave it as clean as possible.
About: Life long dog lover, over 15 years of experience with dogs. I am very experienced with older dogs and have perfected the art of medicine administering. No matter their age, I’ll take extra special care of your baby. Dogs are a very large portion of my day. I am flexible with work so I can tend to all the dogs’ needs throughout the day. My backyard is fully fenced so the dogs can run around and do their business. I’m always out with them to make sure they’re safe.
“I cannot recommend Bryan highly enough! He cared for my two dogs, including my elderly dog with special needs, for ten days and did an exceptional job. My older dog requires extra attention and patience, and Bryan handled everything with kindness and professionalism. He kept me updated regularly, followed all care instructions, and made sure both dogs were happy and comfortable. It was such a relief to know they were in good hands while I was away. I will absolutely book him again in the future!”
“Meg was absolutely wonderful with our pups! They loved her the moment they met her. She is definitely a dog person. Meg took pictures of the pups during walks and when they were lounging in the living room. They looked so relaxed and chill, not looking as if they were anxiously missing us. She was very diligent in her care for our pups. We have two senior dogs, and one has special needs and she handled them as a pro. We are looking forward to having her watch them again.”
“April was so amazing dog sitting Dusty. She was kind and very helpful, considering Dusty is an older puppy with some ailments and medication needs. She took great care of Dusty and he loved being with April. I would recommend her to anyone!”

Tina took amazing care of my very anxious and shy pup! She was extremely willing and flexible to meet with Fig multiple times prior to the weekend she was watching him. She made him feel comfortable to trust her, and took amazing care of him over the weekend. She sent us updates throughout, and we were very grateful that Fig was in great hands. I will definitely be rebooking with Tina!
Mellissa is amazing My pus LOVED her and my husband has never agreed to leave the dogs, and she truly made him feel comfortable doing so. she checked in, followed directions written out and in sent pictures and left the house in better condition she received it in. To come home to calm pups who actually were sulking because she was gone was immeasurable and quite the blessing . I cannot praise her enough
Catherine was a blessing when we needed a sitter to stay with our Bella while we attended a family funeral. She was thorough in making sure she understood our care instructions, she was loving in her handling of our pup, and careful and respectful of our home. We have a laundry list of things that go into her meals and she carefully read through and made sure she knew where everything was and how it was administered. I am always a little worried when we leave the pup, but I felt sure that Bella would be in good hands after walking thru things with Catherine. She kept us informed with daily diary entries of the day's events and a stream of pictures of Bella's walks and couch sessions. We would not hesitate to use Catherine again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Spring Lake Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Spring Lake Heights on Rover is $75.48 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 6,937 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Spring Lake Heights. 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 Spring Lake Heights 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 Spring Lake Heights 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 Spring Lake Heights 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.

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.
