“Lauren was communicative, proactive, and most of all, took great care of our beloved kitty. We felt comfortable that she was in good hands with Lauren. We would definitely book with her again and recommend her for others for kitty-sitting!”
“5 stars! We had such a wonderful experience with Jenn. She was reliable, caring, and very attentive to our cat while we were away. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. Our cat can be a little shy at first, but she was very patient and respectful of her space. We came home to a happy and well-cared-for kitty. We really appreciate everything she did and would definitely recommend her to other pet parents!”
“Cheryl & Elmar each dropped-in to visit my new 10 week old puppy who is adapting to his parents going back to work. Hudson absolutely loved playing with them and they provided plenty of pictures and videos to ensure Hudson was comfortable and having a great time.”
“Andrew takes great care of our 2 cats. He always replies quickly, was very thoughtful during our meet and when taking care of our cats. We have been away with peace of mind thanks to him”
“Sam is the best! My two boys are getting to be in their senior years and are very different. Jimmy is on the bigger side around 40 pounds and rambunctious and Dwight is on the smaller side around 25 pounds and pretty lazy. Sam interacted and loved both boys and was so lovely and attentive on his visits to feed them while we were away on vacation. We are so glad to have found Sam 😌”
About: Heyo all! My names Kayla and I’ve been a veterinary assistant for the past six years. I’m currently in nursing school looking to make a few extra dollars on the side (for coffee of course). And would love to spend time with your pets :) I’m currently not working a set schedule at a veterinary office, due to prioritizing school, but I am available as needed for quick check-ins throughout the week! I have three fur babies that I have at home that I love dearly, they’re all up to date on vaccines and do well with other dogs as well.
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.
About: I have been consistently obsessed with dogs my whole life. I’ve raised dogs of all ages, including puppy training and geriatric care. Our two dogs have a good balance of boundaries/rules, with hints of spoiling. This is how I’ll be with your pets. I’ve also got some experience with pet photography. ❤️🐾 I just moved to NJ, so my schedule is very open right now as I’m getting to know the area and community. I also have a reliable car to get around. For drop in visits, I will be walking your dogs/giving them plenty of time outside. I can clean up any accidents in the home. I’ll be checking their water bowls when I arrive and feeding them accordingly to your instructions. I am comfortable administering any oral medications and treats your pet needs. I will also play with and give them attention to help with energy and potential loneliness. Just let me know your pets needs and specifications.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by pets, and animals have always been a big part of my life! My family and I are huge animal lovers, and we genuinely enjoy welcoming dogs into our home and spending time with them. Whether it’s going on walks, playing outside, or just giving them lots of love and attention, I love making sure every pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for. I understand how important pets are to their families, and I’ll always treat yours like one of my own! I’m a teacher so I work 7:30-3:30; however, someone is usually home to take care of your pet. My schedule after work is flexible and I’m able to spend the afternoon walking, boarding, or dog sitting at your home. I have a fenced in yard that allows dogs freedom while remaining in a safe space. I also have a small dog who’s friendly and two cats who mind their business. When I’m in someone else’s home, I treat their home with care and their pets like family.
About: I have always had a genuine love for animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have previously provided pet care and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your pets while you’re away. I am responsible, caring, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine, whether that means going for a walk, playing, giving them lots of attention, or simply keeping them company. I also have experience caring for cats and understand that every cat has a different personality and comfort level. I’m happy to provide feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, and plenty of love and attention while you’re away. When caring for your pets, my priority is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I would be happy to keep you updated with photos and messages during each visit or walk, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands. 🐶🐱❤️ I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family! I’m available for house sitting and walking your pets if you need someone to care for your best friends that’s me! I’m available 9-11am during the week. & full time on the weekends. I would care for pets in my clients home, would like to know everything about your pet before coming over, also taking your dog for a walk is something I’d love to do!
About: I grew up with a dog that we lost at age 15, then I adopted a senior dog who I had for five years afterward. He had a variety of health issues I had to administer medication for, including epilepsy and arthritis. In March of 2024, I adopted a puppy, so I now have experience with younger dogs as well. I allow drop off/pickup between 8AM and 8PM. I work from home full time, M-F from 9AM - 6PM. I can take your dog out to pee numerous times throughout the day and can take them on longer walks 1-2 times per day, weather permitting. I only board dogs who are fully house trained and can be left alone for a few hours at a time as I do not offer constant care. Please bring all of your dog’s supplies as I live in an apartment and don’t have extras: food, bed, treats, bowls, toys, chews/enrichment, leash and collar, and anything else you want to send them with to feel comfortable. I have poop bags and some toys they can share with my dog. I can only accept bookings with dogs who are friendly with others, as I have a dog of my own. If they do not seem comfortable together I have a baby gate I can use to separate them. My dog stays in her crate whenever I leave my home. Please note that I do not let dogs I am sitting sleep in my bedroom so they will be sleeping by themselves in whatever bed or crate you provide in my living room.
“Amazing. Amanda went above and beyond taking care of our grumpy old lady and rambunctious kitten! She followed all of my ridiculous instructions and sent lots of photos and video. I can tell that she loves animals and cares for them as if they are her own. Great communication too. We will def be requesting to book again! Thank you so much!”
About: Hi, I’m Jennifer! 🐾 Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! With 13 years of pet care experience, I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. As a dog mom with experience caring for German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois, I’m comfortable with large, energetic breeds, but I absolutely love dogs of all sizes and personalities! Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some playtime, feeding, or just a little extra love and attention while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I believe every dog deserves patience, affection, and individualized attention. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your best friend is in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! 🐶❤️ I am available for morning and evening walks, feeding visits, and check-ins throughout the week. I understand the importance of maintaining your pet’s routine and will ensure they receive the care, attention, exercise, and companionship they need while you’re away. My goal is to make every visit a positive and stress-free experience for both you and your pet. In my own home, I care for my Belgian Malinois, who keeps me active and has given me valuable experience with energetic dogs. I make sure she gets plenty of exercise through daily walks, playtime, and outdoor activities in our backyard. When caring for your pet, I will follow their routine closely, provide a safe and loving environment, and treat them with the same care and attention I give my own dog. I understand that every pet is unique and will tailor my care to their individual needs.
“Leaving your pets in someone else’s care is often a stressful for an owner but knowing Craig is keeping a watchful on them for drop in visits aleviated a half stress. Craig was punctual and provided consistent communication. Craig is very kind and understanding of my senior dog’s needs. His punctuality ensured there were no potty accidents. Despite terrible rain storms during the visits, I returned to find my home clean and my dogs content which is a testament to Craig’s respect for me home as well. I highly recommend Craig for drop in visits.”
“This is my first time using Rover and I was skeptical because of stories I’ve heard. Also I have 2 big puppy/adults. However Bryndon made everything smooth and easy and he was super kind and professional. Thanks Bryndon!”
“Allison came to visit our cats once a day while we were away for a long weekend. The cats seemed to have a nice time and were all in good spirits when we returned. She followed our instructions and reached out with any questions.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bergenfield
Jenn was amazing. Our cat is very nervous and scared. Jenn managed to make Phoebe feel comfortable with her by the end of the sit and they had a lovely bonding moment. I would highly recommend Jenn if you want a sitter who truly wants to make your pet happy along with being fed while you’re away.
We hired Libby for two weeks of drop-in visits with our 4 year old cat, and we were SO happy with how she took care of our him! We really appreciated the extra time she took for a pre-booking meet and greet to meet us and our pet, her daily updates complete with cute photos, and the thoroughness of care she provided. Libby is a great communicator, incredibly detailed, treated our cat like her own, and went above and beyond in her care - even bringing in a package from outside during one of our visits. Our relatively shy boy was crawling in her lap by the end of the two weeks. We will definitely be booking Libby in the future!
Rhinesca took great care of Tyler while we were away. She took him for walks, made sure he had fresh water and food, and kept us updated throughout the stay. Communication was excellent, and I really appreciated knowing Tyler was being well cared for. I would definitely book with her again.
Amanda went above & beyond during her visit with Lucy. I couldn’t have asked for a better drop in. She was attentive to not only Lucy, but also the entire apartment letting me know if things looked out of place. I can tell Lucy was cared for & played with throughout the drop in. Will book again!!!
Helen was an amazing dog sitter! She watched our Siberian Husky, Esko, for five days and took such great care of her. She came beforehand to meet Esko, communicated with us throughout our trip, and sent pictures every day. We felt completely comfortable knowing Esko was in great hands. We will definitely use Helen again and highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Bergenfield is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $30 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 27,347 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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 Bergenfield. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% 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.
