About: I have had pets my whole life especially dogs and cats! I love playing and bonding with them all and taking care of them however I could😊 I have two cats myself, I am a stay at home mom and have a lot of free time and would love to use that time to not only spend time with my kids but to also help dog and cat owners when they need it! I understand people can have very busy schedules and use a helping hand which I love to do! I take the absolute best care of my two cats and any animal that I am around!! I treat animals like they are my children! I am very protective, careful and a safe person for your animals to be around!
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.
About: I’ve been a dog pal of every kind since I was in high school, for my family, friends, and neighbors. Whatever you and your pup may need, I am here! I work part-time from home, so I have a flexible schedule with lots of time to be present with your pups. I am free on the weekends for boarding, and I can be available any time during the week. Dogs are the embodiment of unconditional love. I do what I can to reflect that unconditional love back to them that they give so freely.
“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..”
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.
“Evgenii was amazing! Our older two dogs were well cared for. We received pics and updates which made us happy! Our house was spotless when we returned! Couldn’t have chosen a better dog sitter. Highly recommend him and will be using him again!”
“Bryan did a great job dog sitting Mikey. We had to cut our trip early due to the snow storm and Bryan was very flexible and took so much stress off our plate. Would highly recommend him to anyone planning a trip - especially dog owners like me who often stress about finding the right person for their pup!”
About: I have such a big heart for animals and a connection to them with a passion for taking care of any type of animal! I grew up taking in rescues with my family at home. We have rescued a senior yorkie, four kittens, and a deaf kitty. I currently have one 4 year old maltipoo at home and one goldfish! In the past we had fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, bearded dragons, and lizards at home. Throughout the years I love participating in anything involving innocent fur babies. For two years I pet sit my sisters french bulldog with GI issues and my brothers cat. At the same time I was in a P.A.W.S (protecting animals without stability) club in high school. I currently volunteer at two animal shelters since 2022. After high school I pursued an associates degree in Biology while participating in a veterinary assistant program. I graduated the program and continued on to getting my first full time job at a veterinary hospital as an approved veterinary assistant! Therefore, I have knowledge on animal anatomy, sickness and care procedures. I plan to complete my Biology degree while working full time and helping to take care of your fur babies 💗 I am currently in school pursuing a science degree while working part time at a hospital. I pet sit, house sit and dog walk. I am available weekdays and weekends for any help you need with your fur babies. I am very flexible and work around school to continue my passion of animal care. I will make sure to socialize and spend quality time your pets. I will take them on energetic walks and make sure they are fed and comfortable!
About: As a retired professional, I bring reliability, patience, and a calm presence to every walk. I’ve been a dog owner of two large breeds and one small breed. I have hands-on experience with doodle breeds and their unique personalities. I understand the importance of safety and health. I’ve cared for dogs with medical needs, so I’m comfortable with monitoring, medications, and giving extra attention when needed. Whether your dog loves a brisk walk, a gentle stroll, or some extra cuddles along the way, I treat every pup like family because that’s what they are. As a recently retired police officer, I currently work part-time so my hours are flexible and will have plenty of time for your fur babies. I will treat your home as if it were my own. I will safely walk your dog on leash, and can easily crate your dog, if need be.
“Sara was awesome! Our little girl took to Sara right away. We did a meet and greet and when Lulu rolled over and gave Sara her belly we knew she was going to be the right rover. She spent a solid 7+ hours with Lulu and she sent us photos and kept us apprised of Lulu’s comfort with her. We will definitely use again and definitely recommend!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
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.
About: I’ve taken care of animals my entire like. I’ve also had dogs my entire life. I’ve taken care of my neighbors dogs whenever they were away and all throughout my high school career. I currently work full time at Oakhurst Veterinary Hospital. I work 11:45AM-7:00PM Tuesday-Thursday, 7-3 on Friday and on Saturday’s I work 8:00AM-4:30PM. I am fully willing to work with anyone to help take care of their pets. I am always cautious with other peoples animals and their homes. I never bring in personal items and always make sure I clean up after everything I do.
About: If you’re looking for a dependable, loving sitter who will treat your dog like family, you’ve come to the right place. I have years of experience dog sitting, house sitting, and caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, enjoying daily walks, keeping up with playtime, or providing attentive overnight care, I make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I believe pet care is about more than meeting basic needs, it’s about building trust and creating a positive experience for both you and your dog. I take the time to learn each pup’s unique personality, routines, and favorite things, so they feel comfortable and cared for from the moment we meet. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and attentive. I’m the sitter who gets down on the floor to play, remembers your dog’s little quirks after just one visit, and sends plenty of photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your best friend is having a great time. I look forward to meeting you and your pup and providing the same level of care and attention that I would give my own pets! I am currently employed in the Howell area with my schedule varying but flexible. My work day starts in the afternoon/late afternoon into the evening. I can stay at a client’s home as I have experience with this. Most people I dog sit give me a list of rules and instructions for caring for their furry friend as well as staying safe.I have experience staying at clients’ homes, so I can do this. Most dog sitters I know give me a list of rules and instructions for caring for their pets and staying safe in the home.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Best Pet Sitter Ever! Hannah was amazing! She watched my dog Nala, my cat Simba, and my sister’s dog Kira while we were away, and they absolutely loved her. She kept us updated with pictures and little check-ins, which made me feel so comfortable the whole time. You can tell she really loves animals our babies were so happy and relaxed when we got home. She went above and beyond, and I’ll definitely be using her again anytime we go away!

FAQs for House Sitting - West Freehold
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in West Freehold on Rover is $58.83 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 2,905 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Freehold. 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 West Freehold 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 West Freehold 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 West Freehold 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

- 99% 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.
