“Eimy was excellent! This was our first time using the rover app. She was very communicative and willing to listen to our instructions. Happy to trust her in the future with our fur-baby.”
About: I’ve always been someone who loves being around dogs. I’ve cared for high-energy breeds like Belgian Malinois, Huskies, and a Malinois-Husky mix, as well as smaller dogs like Chihuahuas. I know every dog is different, so I take the time to learn what they’re comfortable with and what they enjoy. One thing people notice about me is that I stay calm, even with energetic dogs. I enjoy playing with them, going on walks, and making sure they get the attention and exercise they need. I’m patient, dependable, and I never rush a dog if they need a little extra time to warm up. I’m also learning more about dog training because it’s something I’m passionate about. During walks and visits, I’m happy to reinforce basic commands and good habits if that’s part of your dog’s routine. My goal is simple: make sure your dog is safe, happy, and excited to see me the next time I come by. Pet care is my full-time focus, so I have a flexible schedule and can easily work around your dog’s routine. Whether your pup needs walks, drop-in visits, or daytime care, I have the time and energy to give them my full attention. I enjoy being active and spending time with dogs, so making sure they get plenty of exercise, play, and care is something I genuinely look forward to every day. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special instructions before every visit or walk. I always keep dogs securely leashed unless we’re in a safe, enclosed area where you’ve said it’s okay to let them off leash. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll treat your space with respect and stick to your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’ll make sure they have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and attention, and I’ll send updates so you know how they’re doing. My goal is to help your dog feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away.
About: 9 years of professional pet care, plus many years of owning my own pets, caring for pets of friends and volunteering with shelters. My best friend growing up was my dog Lobo that we got when I was 1 yr old. I grew up loving and caring for animals and caring for them became a natural thing to do for friends and then as a living. I started my professional per care journey in Brooklyn, NY working for Animal's Are Soul, then worked across the country in Florida, for DogSmith of the Emerand Coast and in Salt Lake City, Utah for Mixed Company Dog Walking and Pet Sitting. I moved up from just a dog walker with Mixed Company to Assistant Manager, hiring and training people. I recently spent 2 years as Assistant Manager of Bare Paws. We had many dogs with special needs, such as diabetic cats who needed insulin and dogs who's back legs no longer worked. Old and very young pups. It is my pleasure and joy to make your mutts and fuzzy butts day! I currently work in New York, Time's Square as a performer at RiseNY Museum part time and am pursuing a career in the arts, and my passion. With that I would like to combine my passion for animal care as a part time career to keep my life well rounded and grounded. It is my pleasure and joy to make your mutts and fuzzy butts day In a client's home, I always remove my shoes at the door, get the pup suited properly in harness and leash, put shoes back on and get them out and about. I always have poop bags and paw wipes handy. Before the walk I check for any specific notes that may change daily to ensure that no feeding, or medication is forgotten. I only feed and give medication as specified and after the walk. If crated when I arrive, I will leave crated after walk unless told not to. I try to leave a home untouched and as it was when I arrived. Making sure your pet is safe and has had sufficient exercise and play and relief. Leave fresh water. Take careful notes for the owner, with full description of walk, poo, pee, etc. Including photos. Leave home and Pet feeling safe and relaxed.

I currently work full time, but I can be flexible for early morning or later afternoon pet quality time. I can also be flexible on the weekends depending on availability/need. I do not have the space to care for pets in my apartment, but for care in your home I can ensure a clean and comfortable environment based on your pets routine and can support with additional household tasks if needed.
“Julie is AMAZING!!! She is punctual, patient, compassionate and extremely knowledgeable!!! We were so nervous to leave our fur babies for an entire week, but after meeting Julie and seeing her interact with our babies, we weren't worried anymore! She continously went the extra mile by not only taking wonderful care of our babies, but of our house & yard as well!!! We will use Julie EVERY time we need someone to take care of our fur babies!!!”
“Stephanie did an amazing job taking care of our cats. They warmed up to her very quickly even though they are usually skittish . It was also a last minute request and she really pulled through for us. Highly recommend if you are looking for someone to take care of your kitties 🤗”
About: I'm Hugh, an experienced dog owner and caregiver who builds his schedule around the dogs he’s caring for. I’ve handled dogs of all sizes, including an Old English Sheepdog, Havanese, and Bernedoodle, and I’ve spent years helping run a doggie daycare. I focus on calm, structured, and consistent care, especially for dogs who need real engagement and a stable routine. I specialize in: High-energy dogs that need meaningful exercise Large breeds that benefit from confident handling Dogs that thrive on routine and clear boundaries Shy or socially selective dogs that need patience and calm presence House Sitting (Limited Availability) I take on a limited number of house sitting bookings so I can focus on one household at a time. I don’t split my time across multiple homes. When I’m with your dog, they get consistent care, structure, and real attention throughout the day. This is a good fit for: Puppies or dogs still building routines High-energy dogs that need more than quick visits Dogs that do best with a steady, low-stress environment My goal is to maintain your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible while you’re away. Walks & Drop-Ins For walks and drop-ins, I provide the same level of attentiveness and reliability, with a focus on making each visit meaningful rather than rushed. I prioritize clear communication, so you’ll receive thoughtful updates, photos, and honest notes throughout the stay. I’m looking to build long-term relationships with clients who value consistent, reliable care. If that sounds like what you’re looking for, I’d be happy to set up a meet & greet. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I build my schedule around the dogs I’m caring for. I’m very intentional about giving each pet as much time, attention, and engagement as they need I don’t rush visits or squeeze them in between other obligations. When I’m caring for someone’s dog, they become the priority in my day. Whether it’s extra-long walks, playtime, slow sniff sessions, or just hanging out together for companionship, I make sure your pup gets real, quality time with me. I love being present with dogs, and I’m happiest when I can devote a big chunk of my day to making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. When caring for pets, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where your dog can truly relax and be themselves. I follow any routines, feeding schedules, or special instructions you provide to make the experience seamless and stress-free. Your dog(s) will have plenty of attention, playtime, plus opportunities for walks and enrichment activities. In your home, I maintain the space as you know it, respecting your rules while making sure your pet gets all the love, interaction, and care they need. Every visit is about quality time, safety, and building trust, so your dog feels happy, secure, and genuinely cared for.
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.
“Alex and Kate took excellent care of my two kitties while I was away for an entire week. They were excellent communicators, sending several pictures and updates everyday. They are trustworthy and caring! I could not recommend them more.”
“Tara deserves 10 stars for going above and beyond for my 5 cats - keeping everything super clean, bringing in mail when it was supposed to be on hold, and keeping the cats comfy at home. She allowed me to have a worry-free getaway.”
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs since I was 20 years old. I took care of my sister's pets which were cats and dogs. I'm currently working part-time in the weekends and will be having my week open for any pet care needs. I am available Monday-Friday morning to afternoon. I will always make sure to check with the client to see how they would like the care of their pet to be handled when they are away.
About: Growing up with dogs and cats, some chill, some with various health issues, I know fully how much love and care is needed especially when they get stressed out without their human I’m currently working on getting back to work after some family care, can’t wait to help people with their four-legged babies. I’m not currently working so I don’t have any conflicts. I’m totally open to changing rates and schedules just left me know! I always trust animals to set their own boundaries and I always try to look and listen. Playing is such an amazing way to bond completely. I always make sure that the dogs are my clients first, and the humans handle the money.
“I recommend Ian! He took very good care of my cats. He cares. While I was gone, he would call me and express concern if he suspected something was wrong. He was there on time every day for weeks, and always sent me pictures and updates. He even did the cutest drawing of my cat Winston and taped it onto the kitchen cabinet, which I appreciated. I will definitely call on him again to take care of my cats.”
“Thank you again for making sure my fur baby was okay with such short notice. Dominick is a great and punctual dog walker who takes great pride in his professionalism and aptitude for this job.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bayonne
I had a wonderful experience with Veronika, she took tender care of my cat during my travels and payed close attention to his needs. In all the update photos he seemed comfortable and content. She was very communicative and I left the experience feeling like she was the right, trustworthy decision. I highly recommend working with her! She also called after the care to ensure the kitty transitioned well. Also she’s a lovely baker and shared some treats when we met! 🤍🐾
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!
Antwan took great care of our cat and dog, since he has experience with both. Accurately documented their check-ins, gave Alfie extra walks and even took some time to shoe Coconut some tricks during playtime! Overall impressed with how happy they are after Antwans drop-ins!
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!
I want to say a huge thank to Maria for taking such wonderful care of my cat. Maria is very reliable, coming every day. Really appreciate how Maria gave her food, fresh water, and kept everything so clean. It gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Thank you so much.

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 .

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 Bayonne 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 Bayonne. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
