“Catrina was wonderful during the drop in visit for our mini dachshund! She was very respectful and paid attention to details during our meet and greet, and sent update & pictures after the visit to let us know how everything went. We felt very comfortable trusting Catrina to watch our pet. Definitely recommend!”
“This was my first time using Rover. Hannah was amazing! She kept me up to date during my trip. And she was wonderful with my dog. I could tell in the pictures that he was very Happy with her visting. Thank you Hannah!”
About: I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including cats, dogs, reptiles, and birds! I grew up with two dogs, chickens, ducks and I currently have two cats and a bearded dragon of my own. I have previously pet sat for neighbors and family friends, caring for both cats and dogs. I am comfortable with daily pet care, including feeding, grooming, walking, cleaning, and providing plenty of attention and affection. I also have experience administering medications, including injections, and understand the importance of following care instructions carefully. Whether your pet has fur, feathers, or scales, I strive to provide attention, reliable, and loving care tailored to their individual needs. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I want both you and your pets to feel comfortable and confident while you’re away! I work full-time from home as a customer service agent, generally between 10 AM and 6 PM, Monday through Friday. Because my job is remote, I have flexibility throughout the day to accommodate pet care needs, check in on your pets, and provide attention and companionship while you’re away. I’m available for pet care on both weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs and routine! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your beloved animals. I have two cats and a bearded dragon of my own, so I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and personalities.
“Ryan & Shannon were absolutely wonderful to work with. I am so grateful we booked them for our senior cat. They were so easy to connect with and fast to respond, and just lovely in person. We booked them for 30 min drop ins while we were away, and it was a great experience. We got daily photos and updates, they loved on our girl, and they gave her all her meds. If/when we need a cat sitter again, I will absolutely reach out to Ryan & Shannon first.”
“Boryana did a great job looking after my cat while I was away! This was my first time leaving my cat for an extended period of time, but Boryana provided updates and photos that made me feel confident my cat was in good hands! My cat is normally shy but quickly warmed to Boryana and even sat on her lap by the end of the trip!”
“Xingcheng took wonderful care of my cat for a whole month, and I couldn’t be happier! She was so patient and loving — the photos and videos she sent showed my cat was calm and comfortable the entire time. Feeding, litter box, daily routine — all handled perfectly without me having to worry. She’s incredibly responsible and communicated promptly whenever anything came up. It really felt like she treated my cat as her own. Highly recommend Xingcheng — I’ll definitely book her again!”
“Sha provided fantastic care. She is extremely reliable, responds very aptly to any updates, and pays close attention to detail by following all of my specific instructions carefully. I would gladly book her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
About: Hi, I’m Jill and I live in Hightstown, NJ. I have loved animals from a very young age and grew up with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, lizards and hamsters, so I’m knowledgeable on what needs to go into caring for them. I’m able to provide a safe environment with a large fenced backyard for your dog(s) to run and play. I work from home some days, but otherwise I am in my office 15 min away from my home. I love to go for walks, so your pet can get in a good amount of exercise. As I currently do not have any pets myself, I am excited to get the friendship and love that dogs always provide! Looking forward to meeting you and your pup(s)!
About: I have 5 years of experience caring for pets and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away I have a flexible schedule and currently work part-time, so I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I’m available for walks, visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. There is a park right near my apartment, which makes it easy to take your pet for regular walks and outdoor time. I can also stay at your home and care for your pets there upon request
“Mirella did a fantastic job pet sitting our two guinea pigs over Christmas. One of our pigs is elderly and has health issues, and Mirella handled them very professionally and compassionately. We felt so much better traveling knowing that our pigs were in good hands at home. Thank you!!”
About: I’ve taken care of neighborhood dogs and cats for many years. Services include boarding, walking, feeding, playing etc. I can clean litter boxes and administer medications, as needed. I currently work full time but can fit your pet care needs into my schedule. I’m available before work (before 7:30am) and after work (after 4pm). I have a fenced in back yard for your dogs to run around in. I’m also available to come to your house for walks, feedings, or a simple check in.
“Chandra is very kind and took great care of Layka for us!! He communicated with us and was very easy to work with. We hope to have him care for Layka (and Sludge) again! :)”
“Karina goes above and beyond with her care for our dog! Not only does she walk her daily, but also plays, brushes, trains, and provides detailed updates. Could not recommend her enough! Your pup will be in good hands :)”
“Kacey was very communicative and even came to meet Benson before the day so they could get familiar with one another! She was very patient with my shy kitty, but once he warmed up, she sent lots of loving and sweet pictures of him. My buddy puked and she cleaned it up for me and was very understanding the whole time, Kacey is fantastic and next time I got away I will definitely get ahold of her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Windsor
Ariane was really great to work with! Our normal pet watcher had something come up and we were trying to find a new watcher on short notice for a 2 week trip. Ariane was very friendly, and it is clear our dogs really liked her. She was also flexible with me asking to add on our cats when things came up like our autofeeder stopped working. We would absolutely recommend Ariane to anyone looking for someone to take care of their pets and we will certainly be asking her to do so again in the future when need arises!
This is the second time I have booked Jill and I will definitely be reaching out to her for my future pet sitting needs. Jill is extremely professional, friendly, helpful, and all around a great person to work with. She was patient and won the trust of my very shy adult cat and kept me well informed with updates and pictures while I was out of town.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in West Windsor is $15 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $26 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 5,074 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across West Windsor. 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 West Windsor. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
