About: With a full year of Rover experience and a strong base of repeat clients, I bring reliability, consistency, and genuine care to every booking. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, including my own 80‑lb senior lab, and I understand how important it is to maintain routines, provide calm structure, and keep pets comfortable. Whether your pet needs playtime, quiet companionship, or extra patience, I’m committed to giving them attentive, high‑quality care. A meet & greet is required for all first time clients. I want to make sure this is a good fit for everyone! Pet care is a core part of my everyday life because pet‑sitting is my full‑time job. My days revolve around maintaining consistent routines, giving each pet plenty of attention, and making sure everyone feels comfortable and cared for. I’m home throughout the day, which means I can provide regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and companionship without rushing or squeezing things in. With my own 8‑year‑old, 80‑lb lab by my side, caring for dogs is simply part of the rhythm of my home and my week. Pets staying with me get reliable structure, lots of interaction, and a calm environment where they can settle in and feel at ease. I offer both in‑home boarding and in‑home sitting, and I tailor my care to whatever helps pets feel the most comfortable. When pets stay with me, they have full access to my fenced‑in backyard for safe outdoor time, plus daily walks either through downtown Lambertville or along the quieter D&R towpath depending on their energy level and personality. My home is set up for dogs to relax, follow familiar routines, and enjoy plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m also happy to stay in a client’s home when that’s the best fit. In those cases, I adapt completely to the pet’s existing schedule, environment, and household routines—whether that means sticking to specific feeding times, maintaining training habits, or keeping their usual walking routes. My goal is always to make pets feel secure, understood, and cared for, no matter which service their family chooses.
“Carina was wonderful with our pug! Very kind, dependable, and kept in touch with me throughout the time we were away. I felt very comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands. I would definitely use her services again!!”
“This was Shannon's second time sitting for us - she is very conscientious, and affectionate with our cat. She provides daily photos and feedback, and is very prompt with communication - 5 stars all around!”
“Caroline is AMAZING!! I truly cannot say enough good things about how wonderful of a pet sitter she is! She took such amazing care of my cat while I was away and I could feel all the love he was getting from her!! She gave me updates and pictures daily that made me so happy! I will rebook with her now every time and I’m telling all my family and friends to use her!”
“Rebecca provided the most excellent service and you truly couldn’t ask for more in a pet sitter. She was super communicative, punctual and sent many daily pictures and updates. Will use her services any time the cats need watching!”
“First time using Rover. Any reservations I had going into this were quickly dissolved by Justine’s friendly and prompt responses. I appreciate the communications prior to the visit and also the updates during and afterwards. I would absolutely request her again in the future.”
“Lauren is amazing! She is so thorough in her visit updates, and sends plenty of pictures. She takes the time to sit with our dogs and make sure they are comfortable with her. We could not ask for a better drop-in sitter!”
“Roxxie was great with my pups, she was very prompt and sent lots of pictures on their walks and playtime. My oldest and hardest dog was great and was excited to see her every visit. Last minute we had to add some drop in visits and Roxxie was willing and able to work this out for us. We will be using Roxxie for all our other trips.”
About: Hi there! My whole life I’ve grown up with every type of animal you can think of! I’ve had dogs my whole life and they are my absolute world. I would care for your animals as if they were my own:) Family and friends have relied and trusted me to care for their animals through out the years. I have references if needed! I currently want to pick up dog walking and petting sitting on my free time when I’m not at my 9-5 job. I am available to take your dogs for walks, play with them, feed them, etc. I am also available on the weekends. My dogs are lucky to be able to have the freedom to play, go for walks and get lots of love. I want your dogs to have the same experience from me in the comfort of your own home.
“Jahari helped us out last minute when we needed someone with an extra skillset to check in on our girl. We highly recommend him to anyone needing a pet sitter and in particular anyone needing the extra layer of assurance a vet tech can provide. He is super kind and accommodating and we are glad to have found him!”
“Stephanie is a GEM. She took amazing care of Clio, went above and beyond, bringing treats for our chickens, and writing thoughtful (and reassuring) notes for us. She is an excellent communicator, loves animals and caring for them, and we will definitely be using her again.”
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs all my life (basset hound and dachshund mix) and now a yellow lab! I just moved back to Bucks County from Arlington, VA where I walked two dogs consistently (on the side of my corporate job). I also volunteered at a dog shelter where I would take dogs out for short fosters, which I loved! I did both of those things for about a year. I’m comfortable administering medication and making dogs feel safe and at home. My sister’s dog—dachshund mix—is very anxious and reactive and my lab is 133 pounds and full of energy, so I have seen a lot! I am currently in-between jobs and not entirely sure what the future holds as I take a break from corporate America, but I hope that doesn’t stop you from requesting my services. With that being said, my schedule is flexible! I would love to find dogs to take care of/walk regularly, but I am also open to sporadic drop-ins. For the foreseeable future, I will be taking a class in North Wales on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Fridays, 10am-12:15pm but I can walk/tend to before and after. *As you can see, I change my hair cut a lot. Right now I’m rocking a blonde buzz cut. (Who knows what’s next!) I am committed to keeping your dog safe, happy, and comfortable. I will pay attention on sidewalks and around other animals, people, and cars. One of my dogs is reactive, as I mentioned, and can nip, so I am familiar with holding him back to keep everyone safe. On the other hand, my 133 pound lab wants to say hi to everyone, and I recognize that not everyone likes that, so I am also familiar with keeping him back. When visiting homes, I am respectful by staying in the designated space I am welcome, taking shoes off if doing a visit, and not meandering around. I have experience having possession of a key with past clients and am very responsible with it! I contacted my past clients through another app, but if I had their phone numbers I would ask for a testimonial! I’ve also worked with an older dog that needed diapers! If there is anything I haven’t mentioned but is a need for you, feel free to ask. I am more than willing to learn. 😃
About: (Rates negotiable based on distance, frequency and number of pets. Please contact me to discuss. I am also willing to travel and am often in other areas than my home base, so please don’t hesitate to reach out! 🙂) I love animals and have had many pets of my own, dogs and cats, as well as having cared for horses. I believe that the unconditional love that our pets give us should be returned to them in equal measure. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I can easily run out at any time to visit your pets. I am also available to stay with them overnight or for extended periods of time, if needed. Will travel! I will be respectful and careful in your home, and will follow your instructions while giving your pets the play time, exercise and attention they need.
“Naomi took wonderful care of our dog Stella! She was on time, very responsive, and sent lots of great photos! We wouldn't hesitate to have Naomi take care of our dog in the future!”

Chloe is amazing...with my cat, communication, thoughtfulness and kindness. She also met my dog at the meet and greet, and he jumped in her lap, and sat there a long time. She connects really well with animals, and is thoughtful and thorough, asking good questions about care and keeping in good contact if she has a question. An amazing pet sitter, anyone would be lucky to have her...

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Stockton is $33 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $33 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 November 2026, there are 7,897 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Stockton. 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 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 Stockton. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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 Meet & Greet.
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.
