“Anne was extremely helpful with our cats. She went above and beyond! She sent us daily pictures and long updates, which we appreciated so much. She is very prompt at responding too. I truly appreciate all her help and will definitely reach out to her again whenever I need pet sitting service. I highly highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. She is the best sitter we have ever had!”
“Heather did a wonderful job caring for our little dog at our hotel. She came by the day beforehand at no charge to meet our dog and was wonderful. I recommend Heather highly.”
“Nina took great care of Lyra, who felt super comfortable with her right away. Nina took great photos every visit and was so communicative and caring, I will definitely be booking again!!”
“Abigail was patient with my stubborn and mischievous collie, who is 60 lbs and not the easiest to manage. My collie was relaxed and content after her visits. I also left a long list of instructions, which were followed to the letter. That shows good and trustworthy work. Thank you, Abigail!”
“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter. From the very first moment, it was clear that Ella truly understands cats—not just their routines, but their emotions, boundaries, and quiet language. My cats felt safe and genuinely cared for, which says everything. Ella has what I can only describe as soul cat energy: patient, intuitive, and deeply kind. She went above and beyond, not just making sure everything was done, but making sure my cats felt loved. Ella is a true star and a rare find.”
About: I have returned to school to earn my PhD as an adult in my 30s, which means I have both many years of experience with animals and significant flexibility to help out as your schedule requires. I have spent my whole life around animals - I grew up in a house with two cats, a dog (chow chow), and a multitude of fish; I worked for a stint on a farm as a teenager; and as an adult I have two sweet cats! I have been pet sitting for family and friends since I was young, most recently caring for a variety of cats and dogs for friends during work travel, vacations, and weddings. I have experience with cats of all life stages, giving medications, and walking both small and large dogs. I am a PhD student, which means that my schedule is very flexible! (It also means I always welcome study breaks to hang out with your furry friends!) I am available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, including during weekdays and normal business hours. Because I have two cats of my own, I am not able to offer services in my own home at this time. I offer in-home care and dog walking, and am happy to learn from you where your dog most likes to go for walks! I do have a car, and am able to transport pets to walking trails or dog parks if desired, but would only do so with your prior permission.
“This was our first time having Ryan and Shannon take care of of pups! They were great, awesome pictures and great communication. Will definitely be using them again when we need dog coverage!!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I often was responsible for watching, feeding, walking, and bathing my dogs. I also would care for other people’s dogs and stop in for a short while or to watch a home and care for a dog or two. I love animals in all shapes and sizes and would love to care for your furry friend(s)! I’m currently unemployed which makes me extremely flexible! I am looking to find full time work but the summer is a hard time to do so. I am also looking to become more active and what better way than with dogs! I live in apartment living with my boyfriend who works from home. I walk my beagle Strawberry several times a day. Strawberry is on a very tight schedule when it comes to food and walks which allows me to use time management. In your home I’d like to behave and treat your dogs just as you do. I think it’s very important to know the schedule which needs to be kept.
About: I’ve been working with dogs and cats since July 2020 with minor experience in a grooming salon. I’ve always loved animals and decided to start my own dog walking business in February 2022 and have loved every aspect of it. If you’re interested in boarding, please message me before booking. I enjoy getting to know pets and their families and always make time to go over all your needs thoroughly to ensure you can trust to leave your animal with me comfortably. Your dogs needs are always my top priority and will never hesitate to protect your baby in an unsavory situation. I can administer a range of medicine, including insulin and administer fluids, adhere to any dietary and exercise needs, and love going on long walks at the park. Dog walking and sitting is my full time occupation. I am usually walking dogs from 9am-3pm on a daily basis. I have a few families that depend on me daily and some for emergencies or last minute bookings throughout the week. I book most of my stays in advance and recommend that if I cannot leave your dog unattended for at least 4 hours to look elsewhere (sorry!). My calendar is updated daily, please reach out and say hello! I always make sure to meet with a family before confirming a booking. If the booking is far enough in advance I recommend at least 1 or 2 more visits prior to the families departure just to go over basic info, daily routines, and to let your pet get more familiar with me. I’m always happy to stay over night, am very friendly with neighbors, and am a quiet homebody type. I would never invite guests over while you’re gone and always make sure I leave your home cleaner than you left it. Your trust is most important to me and hope you will consider me when booking your next trip!
“Eliza was great at caring for our cat, two parakeet birds, one betta fish, and two snails for three weeks! Thank you so much, Eliza, and see you next time when we are out of town!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life including 4 dogs of my own, local neighbors dogs and overnight care and drop ins for my friends dogs My schedule is fully open to stop by and take care of your dogs. I can do drop ins, take your dog to the park, and take them for short or long walks. I will care for your dog like they are my own. Lots of love, lots of walks, and lots of attention. Dogs deserve the world.
“Katrina was wonderful with my cat when I was out of town for over a week. During that time the a/c went and she alerted me and stayed while the repairman fixed it. I will definitely be having Katrina take care of my cat in the future.”
“We are so lucky to have found Jennifer! She is so responsible and good with our very nervous/shy dog. She goes above and beyond to make sure he is well taken care of. She is super responsible, dependable and communicates very well during her stays. We will definitely book her again and would highly recommend her to others!!”
About: Growing up with dogs, I've always been comfortable caring for pets of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I'm active, reliable, and enjoy spending time outdoors, making me a great fit for dogs who need plenty of exercise and attention. I understand that every dog is different, so will work with you to learn their routine, energy level, and preferences to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it's a long walk, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I'm committed to being dependable, communicative, and attentive, giving owners peace of mind while ensuring their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. As a nurse, I work three 12-hour shifts each week, which gives me four full days off with plenty of flexibility to care for pets. On my days off, I have the time and energy to provide attentive care, whether that's walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or simply keeping your dog company. My priority is always making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or taking them on walks, I treat them as if they were my own. I pay close attention to their safety, ensure they have plenty of exercise, fresh water, and affection, and make sure they are always secure during walks and outdoor activities. I also know how important peace of mind is for pet owners, so I provide frequent updates and photos throughout my visits. You'll never have to wonder how your pup is doing - I love sharing pictures and keeping owners informed so they can feel confident their dog is happy, safe, and having a great time.
“Vee did an excellent job taking care of my two cats while I was away for ~4 days. She left detailed check-ins with photos that really put me at ease. I came home to two happy cats that had clearly been well taken care of and loved.”
About: Since I was born, I have been surrounded by animals and have discovered my strong love for all types of them. I have had dogs and cats all of my life, and have had my own horse since I was 12. I have utilized the knowledge of veterinary care that I have learned while caring for my own horse with all animals. Caring for and spending time with animals is a passion of mine, and I would love to be able to share that with yours! I am also a Registered Nurse at RWJBarnabas. I work M-F 7:30AM-4PM. Weekends are free, however during the week if your pet needs to be let out during the day I will not be available unless it is before/after work. I’m happy to take your animals for walks outside of their yard, stay with them for the night, etc. I’m flexible and would love to do whatever fits best for your pet!

It was a pleasure to have Nicholas take care of our dog, Axle. During our leave, he visited Axle at home, played with him and walked him daily. Nicholas is very professional and respectful. We definitely recommend him and look forward to having him watch Axle again in the future.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in West Windsor on Rover is $15.27 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,348 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across West Windsor. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a West Windsor stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 West Windsor. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
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.
