About: Ever since I was a kid, I wanted a pet. My parents never let me so I would take care of my neighbor and friend’s pets. I would enjoy taking them on walks and playing with them. I did everything to ensure they were given the care they needed and deserved. I loved the dogs as if they were my own. That’s why I would love to be given the chance to take care of your best friend while you’re away. My experience has taught me that every dog has different needs and I will gladly cater to the needs of every dog that crosses my path. After caring for so many dogs, I decided to get my own. I have learned so much from my dog and know what it’s like to care for a dog 24/7. I will treat your dog like my own and give the best care I can. I currently work hybrid and only have to go to the office twice a week. My schedule is pretty flexible so I can try my best to work around your needs. I live in an apartment near Battery Park with plenty of areas for dogs to walk. There’s also a few dog parks nearby. My puppy is playful and would love to keep your dog(s) company. I also have gates to separate dogs if needed. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to work around yours. I am at home most of the time because my job is hybrid. I have plenty of free time to play and walk your dog(s). I live in an apartment community that is dog friendly and has many surrounding parks. Dogs are allowed to play around my apartment and allowed on furniture. My job is to make your dog(s) feel comfortable.
About: I follow feeding schedule and engage with dogs under my care throughout the day. I also help to teach basic commands. I love spending time outdoors and do not mind taking the dog out multiple times a day or taking longer walks. I am currently looking for a full time job since I’ve graduated from college this May. My schedule is mainly free everyday of the week. I follow instructions from the client and make sure the pets are also engaged through enrichment activities. I make sure to keep the home clean as well.
About: I’ve been surrounded by furry friends for as long as I can remember. This has given me the opportunity to build relationships with them, respect their boundaries, and care for them in the ways they need. I’m currently available part time for pet care on Monday and Tuesday. Outside of work and acting classes, I have availability on these days for dog walking, feeding, potty breaks, and drop in visits. I’m happy to work with your pet’s regular routine and provide dependable attentive care while you’re away. I provide attentive and reliable care in your pet’s home following your instructions and keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I’ll make sure your pet is fed, walked, given fresh water, and cared for in a safe and comfortable environment.
About: I grew up having 3 dogs and caring for them while my parents were at work. As an adult now I own 2 cats of my own and frequently go back to see one of my childhood dogs and a new adopted puppy my parents have! I adore animals of all types. In addition to growing up with dogs I have pet sat for years throughout high school, college and my early adult years. I am currently working from home so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet and make sure they get the care they deserve with plenty of exercise, love, and attention. While working with a client I will make sure to thoroughly discuss any safety precautions regarding their pet while walking them or making drop ins.

About: Hi! I’m an experienced dog sitter and devoted pet parent with years of experience caring for my own dogs and providing trusted pet-sitting. I’ve cared for my Morkie (Maltese-Yorkshire mix) for 11 years, so I’m very familiar with the needs of small dogs. I also have hands-on experience caring for our Golden Retriever for 7 years, giving me experience with both small and large breeds. Our Golden is epileptic but has been seizure-free for over 2 years, giving us firsthand experience with administering medication, monitoring health, and following strict routines - experience that also helps us care for dogs with medical needs or seniors. As a young, active couple, we love taking energetic dogs on walks and adventures, while also providing calm, personalized care for those who need quiet time or extra cuddles. Every dog has a unique personality, and I tailor my care to their needs, routines, and comfort. As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog with someone else. That’s why I provide the same attentive, loving care I expect when leaving my own pets, so you can feel completely at ease. My unique advantage lies in my flexible schedule which allows me to dedicate ample time and undivided attention to your cherished pets. Whether it's quality cuddles, playtime adventures, or leisurely strolls, I'm committed to providing top-notch care tailored to your pet's unique needs. In my home, your furry friends will find a spacious and welcoming environment where pets are free to roam around, an outdoor terrace with secured fencing, and local parks (including a dog park) for exercise. I strive to provide a loving and comfortable atmosphere that makes them feel like part of the family.
“Nicole was fantastic with my girl, Ember. Instructions followed to the letter. She spent ample time soothing Ember, who can be a little anxious when I'm not around. Photos sent daily as well as a full text report on how things went that day. She was even kind enough to take out the trash for me before she left. Really went above and beyond. I really appreciate Nicole's care for my best friend. Will definitely book again!!”
“Badr was perfect for our cats. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for cat drop ins. He went above and beyond and we felt our cats were very safe in his hands while we were gone for a long weekend. He was respectful and his prices were honest and reasonable. We will certainly be using him again.”
About: I've taken care of all kinds of animals for my whole life and professionally for 15+ years. I'm comfortable caring for dogs and cats that are senior, young, need medication administered, as well as large and small breeds. I've had all kinds of pets in my life including small+ large dogs, cats, reptiles, birds and rodents. I specialize in caring for high energy and anxious dogs. Most recently I've professionally cared for chickens and goats and find lots of similarities between goats and playful dogs. I approach all animals with love, respect and dignified care. I currently have one cat and one dog. I know how stressful it can feel leaving your pet with someone new. My goal is to give you peace of mind by ensuring that I will treat your animals with the patience, love and respect that I would my own. You can expect clear communication, timely updates and plenty of photos so you never have to worry about how your animals are doing while in my care. With many years of caring for animals I have a clear understanding that every animal has their own personality and needs and I take the time to make sure every pet feels understood and loved. I'm currently home full time and am available for drop ins and walks as needed! I'm also very flexible and am available to accept last minute bookings. I'm based in Jersey City and can walk, drive or take public transit to come take care of your sweet critter(s)! I'm very safety oriented and will care for your animals as if they were my own. I am very careful about the toys, food and objects that your animal has access to. I like to meet the animal and family beforehand to establish trust, ensure safe interaction and overall good fit! I also will ask if there is anything I need to know about the animals behavior or special needs to ensure I am meeting all their needs.
“Spencer was great! My cat warmed up to him quickly! He fed and played with her like how I asked. He communicated well and promptly. I asked him to drop off my packages and mail while I was away. He also agreed to do a neccessary last-minute task of picking up recyclables that had spilled out on at the front. Very helpful too!”
About: I've always had pets and animals around my house due to my sister being a groomer and me having a service dog for 8 years now. I'm currently not working due to an injury to my back but I'm incouraged to walk as much as I can and my dogs are getting tired of 3 Mile walks every day. I have a fenced in back yard with a sliding door to get outside very pet friendly and only pet safe items and fertilizer used in yards front and back.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all temperaments, from energetic and playful to shy and independent. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine and personality so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. My schedule is flexible, and I make pet care a priority in my daily routine. I’m available for visits, walks, and check-ins during weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust my availability to meet your pet’s specific needs and routine I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and a calm environment at all times. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, respect your home, and stay attentive to behavior and surroundings to ensure your pet feels secure, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Melissa is absolutely wonderful! This is my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She made sure to send me photos, videos, and updates each visit, and I felt incredibly comfortable with her in my home! You can tell she truly cares and interacts with your pet. Absolutely recommend, and will use her in the future to watch my little guy!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bayonne
Zohra was extremely kind right from the start and so communicative! She asked thoughtful questions that showed a high level of attention to detail for our cat's care. Without us even having to ask, she provided photo updates and let us know exactly when she was arriving and leaving. She was also incredibly sweet and patient with me—this was my first time having someone come into our home to watch our cat, and she made the whole process seamless. I even learned a few things that will make the routine more efficient for next time. Zohra was wonderful, easygoing, and kind through it all. I could not recommend her more!
Stephanie went above and beyond and even laundered my bath mat when my pet had an accident. I felt secure that chi chi was taken care of while out of the country. She was responsive and I came back to a clean home and a healthy cat. I would definitely book her again! Thanks Steph!
Fernando and Milena were both amazing at giving Sora the utmost time and care when it came to their drop-ins. We received so many photos of her at home and on walks, and she looked very happy! I told them they didn’t have to walk her at night and could use the dog run, but they did anyways which I thought was super sweet. We really appreciated their clear communication and getting to schedule a meeting beforehand so they could meet Sora and for me to show them around the building/where all of her things were. Will definitely book again the next time we are out of town!
Jade always makes sure to spend time engaging with Rayless and my other kitties. No issues giving my kitty his twice a day pill. Sending plenty of photos and videos of happy kitties playing and snuggling during her visits. She goes above and beyond! Very quick communication. Don't hesitate to book with Jade!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Bayonne is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $38 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 27,787 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bayonne. 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 Bayonne. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
