About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 10 years, from puppies to senior dogs. I currently have a senior small dog of my own, so I understand the patience and attention pets need at all life stages. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and helping them feel loved and comfortable. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for! I recently graduated with my master’s degree and currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and lots of attention and companionship for your pets. I work hard to provide your pets with comfort and safety. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel as comfortable as possible. I’m especially patient with shy or nervous pets and will always provide a calm, caring, and attentive environment.

“Honest feedback here - I was a little hesitant in using Xavier as he was young without too many years of experience, but I was in a bind and my last two sitters flaked - I saw that he was rated as a star sitter though with great reviews, so moved forward here and I am so glad I did. His communication skills are above the charts. He is extremely responsive, communicates very well (seems to truly care about your pets and their needs) and was always great about texting updates and photos - Too boot, he was extremely accommodating as the drive was a bit far, but he knew I was in a bind and took the job without hesitation - Moreover, he was very punctual and came at the times I needed him too. I can't tell you how nice it was to come home after my trip to a home where it was very easy to see my babies were well looked after and taken care of - Lastly, he has very good energy and I felt good leaving my babies in his hands even though was a stranger -”

About: I've been around dogs my entire life, and they've always been a part of my family. From playful pups to wise old dogs, I've learned how to care for them in many different aspects. I've also babysat puppies before, so I know how to handle the extra energy that comes with it! I’m currently a college student working a part time job. I have a lot of extra free time on the weekdays to hangout with pups. I am available most weekdays to go for some walks and drop-in visits! Your pet's safety is my top priority. I maintain a secure and clean environment, free from hazards. I'm experienced in recognizing signs of distress or illness and will immediately contact you. Dogs in my care enjoy regular walks, playtime in a secure yard, and plenty of cuddles on the couch. I ensure each dog gets personalized attention, catering to their specific needs and energy levels. At home, my own dogs are part of the family, and I extend that same love and care to every dog I will watch.

About: Hey there! My name is Halley, I'm 26 years old, and I've recently relocated to New Jersey from Seattle, where I’ve been working as a Rover petsitter and dog walker for several years. (Find me on trusted housesitters to see my other 20+ 5 star reviews!) I've got special experience with: - large dogs (leash aggressive) - elderly animals - administering medication (mostly to dogs, cats, and horses) - kittens & puppies - taking care of farm animals, especially chickens and horses! (: I’m currently working remotely, so I am flexible for mid day walking needs and especially free on weekends! My mornings and evenings are also wide open For in-home pet care, I like to make sure that we maintain as much of their usual routine as possible so they don't feel too anxious or sad about you being gone! We can do all kinds of fun outside or indoor playtime, and I love nothing more than being all piled on the couch reading a good book with a sweet pup or cat <3

About: My life has always been measured in the animals who’ve walked beside me. My very first furry friend was a dog my mother rescued the day I was born; a stray who chose us as much as we chose her. She watched over me as I grew, and when she passed, our home filled again with life: a white German shepherd, a Siberian husky, a Chesapeake Bay retriever, and two rescue dogs who completed our pack of five. Alongside them were rabbits, birds, and fish, each one a small heartbeat that shaped my understanding of care, patience, and love. I grew up feeding, walking, grooming, training, and comforting animals of every age and temperament. I’ve raised puppies from their first steps, and I’ve supported senior dogs through their gentle final years. I’ve administered medication, helped dogs with mobility needs, used ramps, changed diapers, and adapted to whatever made them feel safe and dignified. To me, these things aren’t chores, they’re acts of love. During my undergraduate studies, I also trained to become a veterinarian, deepening my understanding of animal health, behavior, and compassionate handling. As part of that training, I traveled to Thailand for two weeks to volunteer at a dog and cat shelter, where I supported stray animals and assisted licensed veterinarians with spay and neuter procedures. Despite switching my studies to social work, my experience strengthened my belief that animals are more than companions, they are beings who trust us with their safety, their comfort, and their hearts. Caring for them is both a responsibility and a privilege, and it’s one I carry with deep respect. Most recently, I rescued a senior “big brown dog” whose owner passed away. He now lives with my mother, but he’s still part of my heart. Even though I don’t currently have animals in my home, caring for them has never stopped being part of my life. I regularly board, walk, and look after family members’ dogs and cats, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I don’t see animals as “pets.” I see them as family; quiet companions who trust us with their whole hearts. They deserve to be cherished, comforted, and understood. They give us their loyalty without hesitation, and I believe the least we can do is return that devotion with gentleness, patience, and joy. If you choose me to care for your family member's needs, I will honor the love you have for them. I will treat them with the same tenderness I’ve given every animal who has shaped my life. Your dog won’t just be watched; they’ll be welcomed, respected, and cared for as the family member they are. I’m a part‑time student, and my partner works from home, so your pet will always have company, attention, and a consistent routine. I adapt my schedule to fit your pet’s needs, whether that means frequent walks, medication timing, extra potty breaks, or a slower pace for seniors. You’ll never have to wonder how your furry family member is doing; I’m happy to send photos, videos, and updates throughout the day so you always feel connected. I’m easily reachable by text and respond quickly, making sure you feel supported and informed while your pet is in my care. My goal is to create a seamless, comforting experience for both you and your beloved companion. Your pet’s safety and comfort guide everything I do. I live in a pet‑friendly apartment building where other dogs are present, but I’m always able to keep your animal completely separate if they prefer people over other pets. My home is a bi‑level space with hardwood floors, and I’m attentive to accessibility needs. If your four‑legged family member can’t manage stairs, I’m more than willing to carry them or stay downstairs with them so they feel secure, supported, and never alone. I live right next to a dog park for pups who love to socialize, and I’m surrounded by green spaces and the Charles River for peaceful walks, fresh air, and enrichment tailored to your pet’s personality. Above all, I create an environment where your animal is treated with gentleness, respect, and the same love I give my own.

About: I am a puppy mom in Astoria/LIC, close to many scenic walks and dog parks. I know how important it is (especially with puppies) that you re-enforce positive behaviors and training so your pup comes back behaving how you want them! I have been caring for others dogs (friends, neighbors, coworkers) for the past 10 years and have now successfully raised and train my own dog over the past year. I am also very active and love to run! I am happy to take your pup out with me. My dog Bailey is very friendly, she is already looking forward to play dates with your pup! She is very well socialized and adapts to any level of play that your dog can throw at us!

About: I’ve had animals all my life including cats, dogs, and I had a rabbit once. I’ve helped take care of sick dogs and cats, and have taken care of puppies and kittens. I was also apart of my animal club in high school where I got to donate to animal shelters and interacted with animals in that setting. I have a flexible schedule, so pet care can easily be a regular part of my day and week. I really enjoy spending time with animals and am happy to structure my routine around their needs, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, loved, and well taken care of while their family is away. I care for every pet as if they were my own! I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while sticking to their normal routine as much as possible. I’m happy to follow any feeding, walking, medication, playtime, or bedtime instructions you provide. I also keep a close eye on their behavior and make sure their space stays clean and comfortable. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease.

About: I have been watching dogs for 7 years now and have a special spot for elderly dogs, and dog that are anxious. But I have experience with a wide range of ages and breads. I have experience with dogs with anxiety as well as giving oral medication to dogs and have many repeat owners coming to me. They all feel loved and special at my home. Which is why I only watch one dog at a time to give my full attention to them as well as it helps most anxious types to be alone. I also love giving dogs a bath if the owner is ok with it AND the dogs are ok with it 🙂 I have a somewhat flexible schedule for my job. I walk the dogs in the morning and leave around 9am and am usually back 3pm (Monday-Wednesday). When I come home in the afternoon I give the dog another walk as well as their evening walk. I am pretty flexible and am present most times and I am very free from Thursdays through the weekend. This depends on the personality of the dog. If the dog loves being pet, they can hang with me on my couch where they are pet. If they love playing I throw the ball around with them. I am attentive to their food and drink and talk to them 😂 and let them know how cute they are. Every dog is different in what they like and need for their care. So that is something that is discussed before hand with the client.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years, including walking, feeding, bathing, and providing daily care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I have 3 dogs and a cat of my own! Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to keep their pets safe and comfortable while they are at work or away. As a nursing student, I am very attentive, patient, and detail-oriented. I am comfortable following specific routines, administering basic medications if needed, and caring for both energetic puppies and senior dogs. Safety and consistency are always my top priority. I am available for recurring daytime walks, drop ins, or pet sitting in Orange and Rockland County, NY. Throughout the fall and Spring time I am enrolled in an evening Nursing program in Bergen County NJ, and can also make accommodations there! When caring for pets, safety and trust are my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, leash instructions, and any special care requests provided by the owner. I always ensure collars and harnesses are secure before walks and remain attentive at all times. As a nursing student, I am trained to stay calm, observant, and proactive in any situation. I provide photo updates after walks and communicate clearly so owners feel confident their pets are in safe care!

About: I have been a dog owner for several years now! I understand what it’s like to worry about our four-legged children while we’re away from them. Not all of us get to have the luxury of having family and friends care for our pets when we can’t ourselves. My mission is to make sure they get enough play time, lots of love and yummy treats! I love taking my pups to the park, or on a hike as much as the weather permits, so if there’s a park nearby I’d be happy to bring them by to let off some energy. You won’t be disappointed with the care and attention your pets will recieve from me. So, rest assured they will be in good hands.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Bergenfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Bergenfield is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $28 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 October 2026, there are 26,151 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Bergenfield. 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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Bergenfield choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
