“Sara was great! She was quick to respond to any messages and sent lots of pics while we were gone. We were grateful she could house sit as one of our dogs gets pretty anxious when he is away from his comfort zone. Our pups had a great time with her and we will definitely reach out again in the future!”
“We booked Evgenii to dog sit in our home for 10 days while we went on vacation. Our previous dog sitter canceled and Evgenii was very accommodating for a last minute booking. We met him a few times for walks prior to this so our dog would become familiar with him and our dog absolutely loved him. She got so excited each time he came by for a walk which was so reassuring for us. Throughout the 10 days we had constant communication, received regular updates and was very responsive any time we reached out. We really appreciated this communication and it was so nice to see our dog was happy. We also returned home to a very tidy and clean house. We are so happy to have found Evgenii and we will most definitely be using his services again going forward.”
About: Hello. I have been working professionally with animals for the last 5 years. I spent three years working at a pet store working/caring for pets in the store that included dogs, cats, and exotics. And now for almost 3 years I have been working as a veterinary assistant/technician at an emergency and speciality hospital. That means I have experience to help with your pup/cat with special needs and helping administering medications! I grew up with animals all my life. I currently have a dog (Onyx) that I have personally trained myself and a cat (Masha) that I have also trained to do a trick or two for a treat. I have a huge love for animals and just like I do for my patients I work with, I will treat your baby with love and care as if it were my own. I currently work full-time at the veterinary hospital so I’m only available Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. That includes mornings, afternoons, and most nights. Unfortunately I cannot watch/bring your pets to my home. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. Whether your companion is energetic, shy, elderly, or has medical needs, I’ll make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Experienced with senior pets, diabetic pets, seizure patients, post-operative care, medication administration, mobility assistance, and other special-needs animals.
“Boryana took such great care of our dog River! Received an update every evening with pictures!! She made me feel completely comfortable leaving him while I was away. I will be having her stay with River anytime we go away!”
“Danielle did an amazing job staying overnight for a week with my 2 dogs. She was communicated well the entire time and went above and beyond to make sure my dogs were taken care of. She took great care of my house while she stayed over and left it very clean. Highly recommend Danielle and I will definitely be using her services in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs over the past four years. Not only have I dog sat but I have also fostered dogs I am currently working full time but I am capable of checking in on lunch (if dog sitting) and can go straight to them after work I unfortunately don’t have a fenced yard, so we will be going on lots of walks. I don’t have any other animals in my home.
“Denise was amazing and took great care of our maltipoo during our week long vacation. We were so worried about leaving him for the week and didn’t want to put him in a kennel. Denise exceeded all our expectations and we are so happy to have found her. I finally feel like we can go away without the stress of leaving him!”
About: Dogs and cats are more than pets, they're family. I understand that more than anything and I will treat them with care, respect, and love. I have lots of time on my hands, so (unless stated otherwise), I'll be there for your furry friends! I’m willing to help you out! I don't mind transporting dogs in my car for the park or walking them around the neighborhood. And of course, I'll make sure they're well taken care of at home.
“Vanessa, thank you so, so much for taking great care of our pup. This was our first long time away from him and we’re as happy to see him as he is to see us. Thanks for all the great communication along the way.”
About: I've had dogs since I was 14 and have taken care of them for family and friends over the years. That includes small and big dogs, young and old. Dogs in general seem to be drawn to me. I'm currently working part-time so that gives me more time to care for your pets and give them the attention they need and deserve. The best thing I can do is make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible while you're away. I do that by keeping them in their same routine everyday and giving them a lot of attention.
“Averi was really great with our maltipoo and we felt super comfortable knowing he was in good hands during our whole trip! She was flexible with the hours and number of visits and cleaned up any accidents he had. She communicated with us daily via text and even sent multiple pictures throughout the ten days. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. Thank you Averi!”
About: I’m a past doggie daycare worker and have lots of experience taking care of small, medium, and large sized dogs. I love them as if they’re my own children - I have experience with senior care (giving medication, paying attention to their eating habits, doing whatever I can to make their experience the most comfortable). If you have any questions feel free to reach out! I'm only working part-time so I have lots of time to spend with your doggies! I'm available most days, just reach out and we can chat on what works best for you. :) When I go to your home, I can guarantee I will treat your dog with the utmost respect, and spend time and care for your pet as if they were my own.
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lovers with a deep passion of caring for pets of all kinds. Growing up surrounded by cats, dogs, and plenty of other furry (and not-so-furry) friends taught me how much love and care they deserve. My top priority is always making sure your pets are happy, healthy, and feeling loved. From feeding routines and walks to cuddle time (or just calm company for the more independent types), I make sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for according to their unique personality. I love keeping pets engaged with fun, stimulating activities. For cats, that might mean interactive toys, puzzle feeders, or laser play. For dogs, it’s usually games of fetch, tug-of-war, or a good old-fashioned frisbee toss. Even reptiles get the same thoughtful attention (maybe less cuddling, but plenty of care and respect!). Every pet deserves the best care possible, and that’s what I promise to provide. Whether you’re going away for a day or a week, I will treat your furry family member as if they were our own. I’d love to meet your pets and help you feel at ease while you’re away!
“Lisa Marie was so amazing. From start to finish, she was attentive and clearly shows a love for dogs. Our puppy Willow can be a handful, but Lisa Marie took it all in stride and did a great job. From hourly pictures and videos to occasional check ins, we were so happy to have found Lisa Marie .. 10000/10.. Will use again!!!!”
About: Diagnosed with allergies in childhood, I didn’t have pets until in my 20s, when I picked a week-old kitten from a litter & raised him. Thelonious used to walk between my shoulders as I moved around the house, and slept in my bed. Friends told me he behaved more like a dog than a cat—very affectionate. We were very close. His death broke my heart & I still miss him. Seven years ago, I did cat-sitting for a friend whose apartment in NYC I stayed in for a summer while working nearby on Varick Street. He was a very easygoing cat. Years later, my stepson left his dogs at our house & I was their primary minder. I fed, walked & played with them every day. Although I’d been around dogs a lot growing up, it’s one thing to be around them & another to be responsible for them & develop relationships with them. Each of the dogs had a very distinct personality, and I found them fascinating. Through those & other experiences with friends’ pets, I’ve found that I’m able to make connections with animals that go beyond words. I never would have imagined such a thing in childhood. These days I do house sitting & drop-ins for clients in Monmouth & Mercer Counties. I’m tending to pets with a wide range of needs & dispositions, and love I give is more than equaled by the love I receive from them. I’m truly humbled & in awe. Professionally, I managed desktop publishing & automated publishing for a Fortune 500 financial firm for 20 years. So I have a long track record of responsibility & discipline. That combination of sensitivity & responsibility are what I bring to pet sitting. I only accept clients living within a 30-minute drive from my home, and my routines at home are easily adaptable to meet my clients’ needs. That means my highly flexible schedule allows me to provide your cat with the consistent time, routine, and attention they deserve while you are gone. I don’t rush my check-ins; I stay the full duration to ensure your cat gets plenty of physical play and mental stimulation. Because my hours are highly adaptable, I can drop in at the exact times your cat expects breakfast, dinner, or treats. I’m happy to take photos during my stay to enable you as the pet owner to feel secure about your pet’s care in your absence. I like to play with & talk to pets, and try to adhere to their normal routines, so they, too, feel comfortable in your absence.
“Quite impressed overall with Jules and how she looked after Tyrone.. My only hope is she's going to stay in the area so we can use her again.. despite Tyrone doing what he did we are still happy and all learned from it.. thanks again Jules..”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Tennent on Rover is $72.15 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 3,149 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tennent. 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 Tennent 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 Tennent 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 Tennent 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 98% 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.
