“Savana usually house sits for us but was able to help when work schedules conflicted, leaving us with a need for a few mid-day visits. Excellent experience as always!”

“This was the first time I used Rover or needed a sitter at all. I found Brenda and Francis and communicated shortly and set up a meeting day. Brenda came by and we hit it off. She's an animal lover, very caring and genuine. All throughout my time away, she was always reachable. Went the extra mile with maintaining the space my cats live in. And I even needed her to do some trouble shooting with the cameras in my house ( cats are fun ) . I will definitely be reaching out in the future to have this duo check in on my babies again. Trustworthy, responsible, and caring.”

“Laura was a fantastic help watching our pets! She was super responsive, accommodating, and kind. I know my pets were in great hands with her taking care of them.”

About: I've owned and cared for dogs since I was three years old. I've always loved them! I've worked at a dog boarding kennel for over a year now and I love it! Before that, I worked at a farm with lots of different animals and I've watched/walked dogs on the side for a long time now. I also have experience with cats as well! I'd love to meet your four-legged friends and family! I work part-time at a dog boarding kennel and my hours are different sometimes. I'm either working 7am - 12:30pm OR 3pm - 7pm. I usually work the afternoon shift (3 - 7). Since I have worked with animals a lot, especially dogs, I definitely consider myself pretty educated. Like I said, I do not offer boarding in my own home but I am more than happy to come to yours and offer my services! If you have any questions about anything, always feel free to contact me! :)

About: Ive had pets (dogs, cats, fish-oh my!) since I was very young, so I truly understand the meaning of our pets are family. My professional experience comes from the last 5 years as a marine mammal trainer and zookeeper! I have the deepest compassion for animals of all shapes and sizes, from exercise to medical care, to behavioral study…I have done all things animals! I’m currently working part time, so I have ample room in my schedule to come hang with your beloved pet! I am a very active person and would love to take them for walks if that is in their wheelhouse! I have my own sweet old lady Maltese at home, who absolutely adores her own personal space. That being said I am not currently accepting boarding or visits in my own home, but am more than happy to come to yours!
About: Hello! I live in Sussex County, NJ, and have been walking dogs since January 2025 via the Wag app. I am available for drop ins, walks, and pet sitting during the day. Since I have 2 sassy beagle-mixes of my own, I can do overnight stays with some household coordination on my end. I’m currently working part time, so have a flexible schedule! I do my best to only accept bookings where I know I’ll make it not only on time, but a few minutes early. It’s important for me to know what access or limits your pet has in your home, so I like to over communicate with pet parents so I fully understand what makes your pet happy and safe.
“We are so grateful to have crossed paths with Madelyn on Rover! She has watched our dogs twice now, both on short notice and has been so accommodating and flexible. She is now at the top of our list any time we need to consider a pet sitter for some time away! Every time our dogs spend time with her, we can tell they were loved and cared for, and our home is always very well taken care of! Madelyn truly goes above and beyond for her clients and is the best pet sitter we have ever had. She communicates thoroughly, and takes the time to make our pets comfortable- especially our special needs deaf dog. I Would absolutely recommend Madelyn to anyone looking for truly exceptional and dedicated service from a person who will love on your pets like her own. She’s truly a step above the rest!”

About: I’ve been certified as a Vet Assistant, I am also currently in school for my license as a Vet Technician. I’m very confident that I will be a safe environment for your furry friends! I’m currently a student so weekends will be more manageable for me, In case of any emergencies of course I can make accommodations during weekdays. I’ve had more than 11 animals my whole life growing up (5 dogs) (4 cats) (2 two fish) I would say I’m extremely experienced in caring for animals. Professionally my experience would be under a year as I am still in school, I live on 67 acres and a large yard which will give your dog enough room to run with the wind and enjoy the fresh air.
About: I spend a lot of my free time volunteering at a local animal shelter! I have also had 2 German shepherds and 2 cats growing up. I currently work part time, and I don’t work every day. I can easily work around my work schedule to help out with your pups! I will care for your pet in your home. That would be the best for me and your pet! My home is not suitable for pets at the moment.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for shy, timid pets who need gentle reassurance. I’ve fostered 60+ rescue dogs and have years of experience helping anxious pups feel safe, calm, and cared for. My focus is overnight, in-home sitting so your pets can stay in their normal routine—sleeping in their own beds, in the place they feel most comfortable (no boarding stress). I am happy to send photos and updates of your pets while you're away so you can enjoy your travels knowing they are safe, happy, and receiving plenty of love. While you’re away, I also treat your home with respect and care: bringing in mail/packages, rotating lights, watering plants, and keeping things tidy. Expect reliable communication, photo updates, and calm, steady care—walks, playtime, enrichment, snuggles, and support for separation anxiety/routines. I work full time for a nonprofit with some remote work flexibly as needed. My schedule is an 8 hr work day and start and end times can be adjusted as needed. I am experienced with crate training, basic obedience, special diets, walking, mental stimulation and calming techniques and lots of love, affection and snuggles. Services can be modified for the specific needs of your dog(s) or cat(s).
“Isabella was wonderful! She stopped over a few days prior to meet and learn about what our pets needed while we were away which I appreciated. We will definitely book her again next time we are out of town!”


About: With a large, fully fenced yard and a work-from-home schedule, I’m able to provide constant supervision, plenty of playtime, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. I have years of experience on Rover sitting hundreds of different kinds of dogs. Embracing all different breeds and personalities that they have to offer. I will make sure your dog feels at home with on time meals, a comfortable schedule, and free roam of my home they might not want to leave.

About: I have had dogs all my life . I enjoy taking care of animals and the best part is walking them a training them . Im a mail carrier who sees dogs all day long and there is not a dog out there who doesn’t love me! I am currently working full-time, but have time in the evening and early morning to walk or Stop And to take care of your pet I have a fenced in yard But I walk my dog every day my cat stays inside. I do let her out in the backyard in the fenced in area.
“Allison did a wonderful job looking after our elderly cat who has special medical needs while being very attentive to our house while we were away. She was simply great all around, and we highly recommend her!”

“Maria did a great job and was very communicative with me. Everything went smoothly and I greatly appreciate her help. She took photos every day and made sure that everything was squared away each day.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 14 years through fostering, pet sitting, dog walking, and volunteering with animal shelters. I’ve spent more than 10 years volunteering with shelters and also have experience helping train service animals, which has taught me so much about patience, consistency, animal behavior, and adapting to each pet’s individual personality and needs. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and energy levels, from playful puppies who need extra attention, exercise, and structure to senior pets who prefer a slower pace and a little extra patience and TLC. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pet. I truly treat every animal as if they were my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, exercise, enrichment, and companionship while they’re with me. And because I know how much we all miss our pets when we’re away, you can expect plenty of photo updates so you can see what your best friend is up to! ❤️ I have a full-time job with flexible hours, which allows me to fit pet care into my schedule consistently. I’m most available on evenings and weekends, and I always make sure I have plenty of time to give each pet the attention, exercise, and care they need. I live in a house with plenty of space for pets to feel comfortable and settle in. I’m very mindful about safety, routines, feeding instructions, and each pet’s individual needs. I also have a friendly 6-year-old cat who is comfortable around other animals. I’m happy to use a crate if that is part of your dog’s normal routine, and I always do my best to keep pets feeling safe, relaxed, and at home.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Sussex is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $36 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 1,836 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sussex. 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 Sussex. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
