About: Hi there! My name is Briana, and I’ve been working with animals of all kinds for over 20 years. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s who I am! I’m happy to care for dogs, cats, horses, birds, small animals, and just about any furry, feathered, or scaled companion you may have. I’ve had animals my entire life and I’m comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I treat every animal as if they were my own family. I’ve completed an animal emergency CPR course and spent 4 years working in an animal shelter, growing within the organization until it was time to focus on being a mom. I’m patient, reliable, and truly passionate about animal care — I’d do just about anything to keep an animal safe and happy (safely, of course!). I prefer to schedule a meet-and-greet before any booking so everyone feels comfortable and I can learn your pet’s routine, preferences, and care needs. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow your routine closely and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule and would love to help care for your beloved pets. Feel free to reach out even if you just have questions — I’m always happy to chat. 🐾 I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide visits, walks, and pet care whenever you need it. Whether you’re at work, away for the weekend, or just need an extra helping hand, I’m happy to accommodate your schedule whenever possible. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, love, and care during every visit. My goal is to make sure your pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for while giving you complete peace of mind. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. Every pet deserves patience, compassion, love, and individualized attention, and I take pride in providing exactly that. I will always follow your pet’s routine and provide the level of care, attention, exercise, and affection you request, because no one knows your pet better than you do. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and cared for from the moment we meet until you return home. ❤️

About: I have been pet foster parent since 2018, in this time I have been able to care for around 30 pets. Some come with special challenges but have thoroughly enjoyed and fallen in love with every one of them. Goodbyes have been tough, they have gone on to loving home and thrived. I am thankful to be a small part of their journey! I am currently on work break, which gives me plenty of time to play, take long walks, and give your pet the attentive, dedicated care they deserve. I live in a townhouse with a large living / dining room and if needed can create a separate area for the pet's comfort. I have access to a large non-fenced backyard and long walking paths.

About: I grew up with a childhood dog (a Yorkie mix) that I got when I was five years old. My dog became an angel last year at the age of fifteen. I unfortunately am not able to get another dog for the time being because I am in law school. But, I miss the presence of a dog dearly, which is why I chose to become a sitter. I smile at and care for all animals, and I am excited to meet all of your fur babies! I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I understand each pet has different needs, so I always ask for details/notes to make sure I can accommodate properly. Under my care, your pet is treated as if it is my own and has my full attention. While caring for pets, I also make sure to send frequent updates and pictures to keep pet parents in the loop:) I am currently in law school, so I am available on weekends for boarding requests, or during breaks (please refer to my calendar for my availability). As I have a lot of reading to do, I spend a lot of time at home and am with your animal 24/7. I enjoy going on walks at the park and have a very active lifestyle, so I would love to bring your dog along! Although I do not have a fenced backyard, I have a 1.5 acre property with ample space. I always use a leash for potty breaks and walks. I have dog bowls in my home I can use for food and drink. I live in a household with four people, so dogs are always under supervision in my home. I also provide updates and pictures of what your dog and I are up to:)

About: I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs my entire life. Throughout my childhood, I was in charge of family pet care, handling up to 5 dogs at any given time. During my teenage years, my first and most consistent job was pet sitting for local families. As an adult, I had my own dog for twelve years. During her elder years, she had to undergo multiple surgeries and needed frequent help with tasks such as maneuvering stairs, using the bathroom, and eventually, walking in general, so I have experience helping pets who are injured or sick. I am experienced in administering oral medications, strict or complicated diets, and unique care requirements. I understand how precious and important pets are and I am equipped to give them the best care possible. I am an artist who runs her own business. Because of this, I set my own hours and have a wide range of schedule availability. This means that instead of you having to work around your pet-sitter’s schedule, I can work with your regular routines for your pets! Aside from quick potty breaks, I will not walk dogs after dark, simply for safety, but I am otherwise open to whatever routines your pets already follow! I understand that every family has different needs when it comes to pet care. Your pets are trained to follow your routine, and their stress level will be significantly lower if they’re able to keep to that routine even when you aren’t home. I am able to work with those routines, walking dogs the same time of day they’re used to, making sure pets get fed the same times even when you’re out of town or away at work, and following any specific instructions that are unique to your pet.

About: I’ve loved dogs ever since I was little! When I was 9, my family brought home our first dog—a cute Jack Russell/Pug mix (otherwise known as a Jug!). Now, at 24, I still love taking her on walks, getting pup cups, playing in the yard, and snuggling together at the end of the day. After college, I moved from PA to NJ, so I don’t get to spend as much time with her as I used to. I’m excited to give back by spending time with and caring for other pups! I’d love the opportunity to give your dog the same love, attention, and care I give my own. I work a full-time Monday–Friday job, with a hybrid schedule that gives me flexibility during the week. I’m generally available for walks and drop-ins after work, with more availability on weekends. I’m happy to work with your schedule and make sure your pup gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. I’ve grown up around dogs and have cared for my own dog for many years, so I understand how important it is to treat every pup with patience, attention, and care. I’ll follow your dog’s normal routine and any instructions you provide, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or simply giving them some company. My goal is for your pup to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me.

“Maryanne was absolutely wonderful with our very shy cat! She was able to coax him out of hiding and actually create a friend! He played with her, followed her around and purred! He has never done that with someone new. It meant so much to us to know that he was well taken care of and happy! I highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve taken care of and owned dogs of every kind and age since I was 5 years old. No dog is too big or too small! Too young or too old for me! My friends, family, coworkers and neighbors have all trusted me to care for their furbabies. I know how much mine mean to me, and I promise to treat yours as my own! I am currently working full-time as a teacher so weekdays have to be scheduled in advance after 5PM. Will gladly schedule weekend walks and drop-ins! I care for others’ fur babies as if they were my own! I am happy to accommodate whatever food, medication, or exercise needs they may have!

About: Hiya, I'm Jackson! I've always loved dogs and cats, and enjoy providing a kind and gentle environment for them. And if I'm lucky, a playful one! I would be honored to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family is well taken care of. I am more than comfortable with dog walking and housesitting to accommodate both yours and your pet's needs. I have experience with large breeds like German Shepherds, and medium ones like Huskies and Pittbulls. My schedule is quite flexible, as I currently work from home. I also have my own car for transportation, so fitting into your schedule is made easier. I treat each pet with kindness and compassion. They are just as important as any other member of the household to me. They bring so much joy and peace to our lives I couldn't imagine treating them any other way.

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!

Roselie was amazing! I was in need of a last minute cat sitter and she was so flexible and quick to respond. In our first meeting, she was so thoughtful with all the questions she had and even brought treats to help with a warm intro to my kitties :) Through the week, Roselie was attentive and helpful with all updates and was great help. Would definitely recommend!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Bernardsville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Bernardsville is $30 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 25,130 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.

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 Bernardsville. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.
