“Hiring Danielle to house sit our dog was definitely the right decision for my family. She is warm, responsible, attentive and reliable! She was great at keeping us up to date with what was going on with our fur baby and would respond promptly when a message was sent to her. When we got home our house was in great condition and our dog was thriving! She even left a show about birds on for him until we got home! 100/10 would definitely recommend and will be using her again!”
“Cheyenne was absolutely wonderful with our dog! She was incredibly patient, kind, and attentive, and we felt so comfortable knowing he was in her care. He can be a bit of a handful at times, and Cheyenne handled everything with so much patience and understanding. We are so happy we found her and truly grateful for the care she gave him. We would absolutely book with Cheyenne again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, dependable, and caring sitter. Thank you so much, Cheyenne!”
“Oh my goodness! I cannot say anything better about Marco! He not only took amazing care our 3 dogs. He sent pictures, videos and kept us updated. Not only that, he respected our home, and went above and beyond with taking care of linens and laundry. He is amazing!”
“Jackson was absolutely fantastic as a sitter for Rufus. Incredibly polite, a calm and kind demeanour and really communicative - Jackson sent us some updates whilst we were away to show how Rufus was getting on. We would thoroughly recommend Jackson for dog sitting - he is very knowledgeable about dogs and Rufus definitely relaxed in his company. Jackson is extremely trustworthy too and thoughtful - he asked plenty of additional questions about what Rufus likes and dislikes. Thank you Jackson we will definitely use you again to look after Rufus!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 10 when I got my dog. I joined Rover 3 years ago and have experience walking, feeding, playing with, and caring for various types of dogs. I care for every dog as if they're my own! I just got home from college and am looking to make some money as I take a remote class this summer. That being said, my schedule is pretty open and flexible! I am very respectful of other's spaces and make sure to follow instructions carefully. I pay attention to detail and am a high energy individual. I truly love dogs so much and am happy to help take care of them when owners' lives get busy.
About: 🎃PB & Pumpkin Treats Available🎃 Former dog owner of 18 years, with previous experience caring for multiple sized breeds in home and for walks since I was young. Founder and owner of Berry&Co Treatery. I use to make and sell healthy dog treats when I lived in NM for 2 years. ❤️Quality over quantity, your dog will always be my priority. I tend to accept one family's pets at a time. This provides a calm, low-stress environment so your dog feels safe. They are family here❤️ Usually open availability, if there are any scheduling issues I will be sure to let you know in advance and try to work something out. Please do not hesitate to ask! When first meeting your pet I take care to respect their boundaries and build trust with them. You will receive text and photo updates during the visit or walk always!
“Asel is fantastic!!! I left my rambunctious golden retriever with her for 8 days at my house and she took phenomenal care of him. She kept me updated throughout the day of cute photos and was a clear and conscientious communicator, which gave me huge peace of mind when I was away. She also was willing to come meet with us before the actual trip to get to know Theo and he took to her immediately. I’ll definitely be using her services again!!”
“Eric was an amazing sitter for Luna! We received daily updates of videos and pictures. It was the first time she wasn’t being taken care of by immediate family. Our girl is a fussy little eater but Eric was generously patient with our feeding requirement which needed boiled chicken on the daily. He walked and gave her all the play time she wanted. She got even more spoiled! He even ran out and got her extra Greenies and wet food when her supply ran out! We will definitely be asking Eric to watch her again when we can’t bring her with us. What a relief all around that we found such a great sitter!!”
“Cecilia was so awesome! She was attentive and diligent with all the care instructions. She sent updates with pics each day and my cat clearly loved her. I came home to an extremely clean and tidy home and a very happy kitty. Highly recommend Cecilia to care for your pets!”
“Nicole is the most caring, kind, respectful, and sweet dog sitter ever. She sends photos of the dogs and communicates all day! She makes it so much easier to leave our 2 mini dachshund puppies at home while we are at work knowing we have an amazing person taking care of them. Nicole goes above and beyond to provide the best care to our babies and we will absolutely be using her again for dog/ house sitting. She is the very best of the best!”
About: As a dedicated dog owner since 2020 and a current medical student with flexible hours, I bring a high level of responsibility, attentiveness, and genuine compassion to pet care. Having managed my own dog’s health, routines, and daily needs for years, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to look after your furry family members. I always prioritize your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness, which is why I only prefer walking or sitting one dog at a time! Whether they need a high-energy walk to burn off steam or gentle companionship while you are away, your pets will be in safe, loving hands. My routine with school allows me to be flexible with midday walks, feeding schedules, and play sessions, ensuring your pups get all the attention and exercise they need right when they need it. While I prefer bookings ahead of time, I can do my best to accommodate last minute walks/care! Your dog’s safety and well-being are my absolute top priorities. I do not overlap bookings to provide undivided attention and I treat every animal in my care with the same patience and vigilance I would give my own pet. I am careful with secure leash handling, attentive to environmental hazards, and strictly follow any dietary, medication, or behavioral guidelines you provide. You can count on reliable communication, prompt updates, and peace of mind while you're away.
“Ashley was wonderful! She was great at staying in contact with me, important as it was my first time leaving Gilbert for vacation. Gilbert seemed very comfortable and at ease with her-- love that she's a neighbor as well-- will book again ??”
About: Hi, I’m Zoe! I’m from California and I like reading, swimming, and animals. I’ve had pets of every shape and size as long as I can remember. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, horses, fish, snakes, lizards, frogs, river otters, and rodents. I’m very responsible, calm, and communicative. I work full time so evenings and weekend are best for me. Let me know what you need and I’ll see what I can do! I’m sensitive and receptive to each animal’s unique needs. My home is very clean and safe and I am also a very neat and detail-oriented person.
About: Unlike your run-of-the-mill pet sitters, I do less sitting and more jogging, playing, fetching, obstacle course running and jumping type of activities. Additionally, I've got a backyard that's practically a dog's paradise—a sprawling ranch-style haven where pups can frolic, play fetch, and bask in the glory of nature. No concrete jungle for my furry friends; just endless green grass, shady trees, and all the tail-wagging space they could dream of! Got a high-energy pup? I specialize in exhilarating workouts that combine jogging, jumping, obstacle courses, and more. Your furry friend will be thrilled and tuckered out, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. Let's make their day unforgettable! With almost two decades of experience, I’ve seen and cared for pets of all shapes and sizes. From tiny kittens to giant breeds, I’ve got the know-how to ensure they feel right at home and receive the love and attention they deserve. And while you’re away, I’ll make sure to send you updates and photos along with videos of your furry friends 3-4 times a day, so you can rest easy knowing they’re in good hands. Plus, if your pet needs some extra training, count me in—I love helping them learn new tricks and behaviors. Not only do I provide top-notch pet sitting services, but I also offer convenient pick-up, transportation, and drop-off within a 50-mile radius, making the process stress-free for you and your pets. And if you have any questions or concerns, I’m always just a phone call or virtual Zoom meeting away. With me, your pets are not just taken care of—they’re cherished like family. Working mostly from home gives me the flexibility to dedicate plenty of time to your pets. Last minute reservations and requests are welcome. The day kicks off with a brisk walk or a jog around the neighborhood, followed by a customized breakfast (we aim to please!). Then it's time for your furry friend to soak up some rays on our fenced, open-air patio or catch some Z's in a cozy spot. Afternoon? It's all about backyard shenanigans—think ball-chasing, stick-fetching, and maybe even a friendly squirrel hunt. And as the sun sets, we cap things off with a leisurely evening stroll through the neighborhood. Weekends? Oh, they're reserved for epic hikes on scenic trails—because adventure awaits! With us, your beloved companion is guaranteed a tail-wagging good time, no dull moments allowed! Nestled in a cozy house with a sprawling and spacious backyard where your furry pals can stretch their legs, play, and enjoy the great outdoors of fresh air to their heart's content.
“Samantha was so great with our last minute request for some dog sitting! She kept us updated with pictures and what our pup was to. It felt great knowing we were leaving him in good hands!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for 2 years. I currently work at a doggy daycare and I spend 90% of my time with dogs and I’ve worked with every type of dog and dealt with all different personalities. I'm currently attending school but I am available to take care of your pups usually after 2 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Monday and Wednesday I usually leave around 3 pm and I am free all weekend at any time. I can create a comfortable and safe environment for your dogs. For example being alert for any dangers outside especially with reactive dogs. I have been trained to understand and read body language whether we are in the home , outside or interacting with other dogs.
“Dana is top notch! She took such amazing care of my 3month old puppy. She sent videos and pictures often, and I was able to enjoy my day out without a care. I've already rebooked her, and look forward to working with her many times again in the future. She's trustworthy, honest, and gracious. Highly recommend!”
“Eric took such great care of my two dogs for the week I was out of town. He was so kind and understanding when my flight got cancelled and stayed with them. I highly recommend him. I don’t leave my dogs with just anyone and he was incredible with them.”
“Mika is the best! Our cat has some medical challenges and we are always worried when leaving him. Mika took great care of him and gave us frequent updates so we were able to have peace of mind during our trip. We are so grateful!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bergenfield
We had a great experience with Sierra. We could tell that she took great care of Yoda while we were gone and also accommodated his fear of rain over a very rainy weekend. She respected our space and left our home very clean. We have already booked her for our upcoming travels and will continue to do so.
Cheyenne was absolutely wonderful with our dog! She was incredibly patient, kind, and attentive, and we felt so comfortable knowing he was in her care. He can be a bit of a handful at times, and Cheyenne handled everything with so much patience and understanding. We are so happy we found her and truly grateful for the care she gave him. We would absolutely book with Cheyenne again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, dependable, and caring sitter. Thank you so much, Cheyenne!
Alexandra was amazing with our dog, Otis. She provided constant care for him, and gave us many updates while we were away. She was also very responsive, answering me immediately whenever I reached out. She was able to bond with Otis very quickly. She worked with him, gave him patience, and easily adapted to changes in his routine/diet. We came home to a happy and exceptionally cared for dog. :) We would work with Alexandra again in a heartbeat!
Kahmayah took my request last minute and literally saved my vacation as I would not have been able to go without her. I received pictures and videos daily and my pets were so happy and relaxed. Kahmayah even went out of her way to get here and to grab some food midway through the stay. I will rebook her again next time I go away! I highly recommend her.
We are so grateful we have found such a wonderful pet sitter! This was the second time Stephanie stayed in our home and cared for our dog, Archer. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. She also left our house impeccable, which was a wonderful bonus to come home to. We couldn't be happier with Stephanie and highly reccomend her.
Rachel was again amazing watching our Indie! She is so communicative and sends the best pupdates. She is so thoughtful and caring for both Indie and our home. She not only followed all of our detailed instructions perfectly, but she also improved on them for Indie’s benefit. We felt so comfortable leaving our pup with Rachel knowing he would be loved and cared for. Rachel left our home in impecable shape. She is very thoughtful and caring and a real dog lover. I can’t recommend her enough.
Danielle was absolutely wonderful. We have 2 German Shepards one working line and young that has a lot of energy and 6 year old large showline male who needs a moment to settle before being introduced. She listened to how we help him feel comfortable and within moments he was relaxed around her. She asks great questions to be sure your pets have everything they need. We also have a 15 yr old cat and she was great at spending quality time with him as well. She is an excellent communicator, gets back to you promptly, took amazing care of our home while we were out. We felt so at peace knowing she was there with them and she made sure they had a great time too. We are so grateful we found Danielle and look forward to her caring for our pets again!
We couldn't have asked for a better experience, Peter took awesome care of our shorthaired pointer Jeri while we were away for the day. She was recovering from an injury and he was incredibly attentive and thoughtful about her care, which we appreciated so much. He kept us updated throughout the day with messages and photos, communicated really well, and was genuinely kind and easy to work with. It was obvious he really cared about Jeri and enjoyed spending time with her too. We'd recommend Peter 100% to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pet and we'll definitely be reaching out again in the future- hopefully he'll be available!! Thanks again for taking such great care of Jeri!
Lolla was amazing and took great care of Benson. He needs meds and has high anxiety and she did a wonderful job of making sure he was comfortable and looked after. She also handled my pet parent panic and anxiety incredibly! Would strongly recommend her to take great care of your pup!!
Amanda took exceptional care of our 17½-year-old dog, who requires very specialized care and definitely isn’t easy. From the moment we left, she provided compassionate, attentive care and kept us updated with thoughtful texts and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. When we returned home, our dog was happy, comfortable, and clearly very well cared for. On top of that, our house was immaculate. We are beyond appreciative of Amanda’s kindness, professionalism, and dedication. It’s not easy to find someone you can fully trust with an elderly pet, and we are so grateful to have found her. Highly recommend!
Nicole is the most caring, kind, respectful, and sweet dog sitter ever. She sends photos of the dogs and communicates all day! She makes it so much easier to leave our 2 mini dachshund puppies at home while we are at work knowing we have an amazing person taking care of them. Nicole goes above and beyond to provide the best care to our babies and we will absolutely be using her again for dog/ house sitting. She is the very best of the best!

FAQs for House Sitting - Bergenfield
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Bergenfield is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $48 and $95 per night. 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 19,020 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bergenfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Bergenfield walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Bergenfield maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bergenfield. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% 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.
