“Mark was just fantastic looking after my boys: communicative, conscientious, and just a true animal lover. He really took the time to get my cats to warm up to him, and just had such a mellow demeanor. Highly recommend him (and will use his services again if you don’t snag him first!).”

About: I worked at a Dog Kennel for a year and have been independently animal sitting on and off since then. I also used to bathe dogs at a dog groomers! I’m a primary contact for many friends who need pet sitting and have several returning clients. I also have 2 dogs of my own, chickens, fish, a bearded dragon and 2 geckos! I’m currently living at home and work at Trader Joe’s so my schedule is pretty flexible. Caring for animals is a nice escape for me so I make time for it! I like to give the animals a lot of love and attention to insure that they’re happy and can see that I’m someone they can trust. I take time to build up their trust to reduce their anxiety.

About: I have grown up around golden retrievers my whole life and love to take care of my friends' and family's dogs. I also have experience volunteering at animal shelters with feeding, walking and playing with both cats and dogs. Nothing makes me happier than making sure your furry friends are well-taken care of! My primary availability is between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM on the weekdays. However, if you require any additional availability earlier or later in the day, let me know when booking, and I can confirm if I am able to support! I am here to help make sure your dog is taken care of while you are away: feeding them, playing with them, taking them on walks, and making sure they are treated as if it's just another day for them. I am an active runner training for a marathon, so if your dog likes to run, I can always use a running buddy! If there are any special requirements needed for your dog, please let me know in advance what you need so I can be prepared to take the best care for them.

“Asia and John took care of my cat Bellatrix for 7 days while we were away on vacation. Bella is a friendly cat, but suspicious of new people. She immediately hit it off with them on the meet & greet. You know what they say, animals have a sixth sense for good people! Asia and John removed all anxiety from me during the week. Bella has cancer and they administered her medication along with keeping her company. Their communications were thorough and thoughtful. I will easily ask them to take care of our furry family member in the future!!!”

I’ve been able to rely on Vanessa to take care of my dog for months now, and I cannot express how much I trust her! She’s incredibly kind, and my dog absolutely loves her. I can reach out to Vanessa when I’m in a pickle, and she’s almost always been there for me. I highly recommend her, and my pup and I are so grateful to have her!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Bernardsville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Bernardsville is $31 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $39 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 23,902 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Bernardsville. 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 Bernardsville 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 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.

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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Bernardsville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bernardsville. 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.

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.
