“Jake really came through in a pinch! I reached out to him same day…on a Friday and asked if he could do a drop in visit for our dog, Pru, at night! Not only did he do it, he also came over earlier that afternoon to meet Pru. Jake is a sweetheart and is so good with dogs. I recommend him highly. Thank you, Jake. Pru love you❤️”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all kinds for 7+ years, including seniors, giant breeds (two Great Danes who were such sweethearts) and pets with medications or injections. I’m trained in dog first aid and CPR and I have a background in positive reinforcement obedience from training my own dog through his canine good citizen certification. After five years in Colorado, I’m happy to be back home in New Jersey. I previously worked in customer success and medical tech so being organized, communicative, and dependable comes naturally to me. My schedule is currently flexible with weekday and weekend availability for house sitting, walks, and drop ins. For house sitting I follow your pet’s normal meals, walks, medications, and bedtime routine as close as possible. I take safety seriously without making things stressful. I’m pet first aid and CPR trained, follow instructions carefully, and always double check doors & gates. My dog is well cared for at home while I’m away so your pets get my full attention. I’ll send photos and updates so you can relax knowing everything is going well.
“Wade was very attentive and took good care of our cats while we were out on vacation. He provided daily written updates and photos, and ensured our pets were well taken care of. I would definitely book him again.”
“Maryanne was absolutely wonderful with our very shy cat! She was able to coax him out of hiding and actually create a friend! He played with her, followed her around and purred! He has never done that with someone new. It meant so much to us to know that he was well taken care of and happy! I highly recommend her.”
“Shannon was an exceptional cat sitter for our cat, Ghost! She was prepared and was incredibly thorough at our first meeting. She asked important questions and took notes to ensure she had all the info she needed prior to starting the job. For every visit with Ghost she provided check in summaries as well as photos of him. Usually when we go away for a period of time Ghost is anxious or skittish when we get back - but when we came home from this trip, Ghost was as happy as ever! Shannon clearly took great care of him while we were away. We cannot recommend her enough - she was amazing!!”
“Luqing was absolutely amazing. Professional, conscientious, attentive, loving and playful with our cats. What more can one ask for? Highly recommend amd I don’t do that lightly.”
“Amazing! Our doggies loved him. He took extra care and truly altered his schedule to surround our dogs at the center of it. Consistently responsive, and let us know of every single detail which was most appreciative. Excited to book him again!”

I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, overnight stays, and giving pets the attention and care they deserve while their owners are away.

About: I’m a stay at home with a 3yrs old bernedoodle. I love dogs and have always been around them. I take them as my friend and loves to understand them and meet their needs. I have been walking and boarding dogs for over 3yrs now I’m flexible and mostly home. I can do pet sitting daily and can be around them all day. I am available for quick walks or longer walks or day care I have a fenced in yard and a 3yrs old puppy to play with your fur baby. I love to take them for walks and can play fetch with balls, tug etc.
About: I have worked at the pet shop in town for almost 5 years. I have learned a lot about nutrition and am here to help with that as well. I have always loved dogs & animals. I have 3 dogs now and use to have cats growing up. I have always helped family/ friends with their pets. My cousins would call me “ the dog whisperer” I am very patient and understanding- a dog sometimes is anxious just like us humans. I think taking time out of the day and using interactive toys is so important for stimulation and keeping them busy. I usually am off on sunday & wednesday. I typically work in the morning until 3pm. Can do walks/feed them/ check in’s on the dogs after work. I have lots of grass outside & a gate inside.I would play with them outside, make sure they have a harness and a longer line ( so they are safe)& take them for walks. I can brush the dogs as well. I do prefer to stop at the clients house. I have 2 dogs at my house - it can be a lot. In the clients house I would first make sure the dog goes outside to the bathroom upon arrival. I would take them for a walk, play with the dogs outside( depending on the gate situation) Make sure they have lots of water, food & i can brush them.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Whitehouse Station
Stephanie took excellent care of our elderly cat. She was warm, friendly and professional. It was clear she had experience with and sensitivity to the needs of cats. Within a few visits, our pet seemed relaxed, lounging on a sofa instead of hiding during the care visit. Upon our return our cat was totally herself, with no signs that she had been uncomfortable. We couldn't ask for more!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Whitehouse Station is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $43 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.

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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% can help with daily exercise

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
