“First time we use Jenette and couldn’t be happier. We returned from our trip of 5 days to find our cat Huckleberry healthy and happy. In fact, it seems she was an expert playmate because he has been super playful since we’ve been back, leading us to his toys etc. We highly recommend Jenette as pet sitter.”
“Kate spent two weeks with our 17 year old cat, Hunter. For the first four nights she also cared for our 5 year old Labrador retriever, Orli. Kate provided daily updates & great photos. It was obvious from the photos that both Hunter & Orli were comfortable and relaxed with Kate. Kate had no problem giving Hunter his twice daily insulin injections & keeping him on his feeding/meds schedule. It’s a comfort to know your fur babies are well cared for when you are away. We will definitely book Kate again to care for Hunter & Orli!”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals in Portugal, and my family had Serra da Estrela Mountain Dogs, two German Shepherds and a cat. Living with large guardian breeds taught me how to read a dog's mood, respect their space and stay calm when they're alert or excited. I'm comfortable with big, strong dogs, and with cats too. I also spent two years as an au pair in the US and often work with children, so I'm used to patience, routines and things not going to plan. I'm based in Montclair and available for walks, drop-in visits and house sitting. work part time I have free the most of the days from 9am to 4 pm, and after 8 pm so I have flexible hours during the day for walks and playtime. I'm also available on weekends, including overnight stays. Tell me your dog's routine and I'll fit around it adapt to your dog and your home. We'll agree on the schedule, feeding and any special needs beforehand, and I follow your instructions closely. If anything feels off, I'll contact you right away.
“Alison has taken care of my 3 dogs overnight a few times now. They’re a lot and she does great! I come home and my dogs are happy and clearly have been loved while I’m out. She also handles one of my dogs eye medications for which I am very grateful!”
“Catherine is wonderful! Her calm and even presence put my anxious pup at ease immediately, and she was lovely to interact with from my humble human perspective as well. I’ve already re-booked with her, and will definitely be calling her in the future.”
“It was our first time leaving our dog for a house sitting service, and Marli went above and beyond to make sure Halo and we were comfortable. She was super communicative during our time away, sent me many pictures and updates of Halo, and was super respectful of our home and all the notes we left for Halo’s care. We appreciate Marli and will definitely continue to use her when we can in the future. Thank you, Marli!”
“Mary Ann was very professional, a great communicator and very detail oriented! She took notes, was kind and considerate, and we felt our dog and cat were in extremely good hands and very safe with her, especially since my pup has allergies and can be a bit manipulative at times! Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and they are my best friends! Cant wait to make new ones and take care of your furry friends! I’m currently working at a school during the week between the hours of 8:30-3:30 but make sure to plan no events after if I am taking care of a furry friend for longs walks and hangouts! We have a big back yard with lots of space to run around and 2 furry friends that are always around to keep the new furry friends company.
“Sean was great with Asher and took wonderful care of him! He sent some pictures to keep me up to date and was a good communicator. I certainly recommend him and will reach out again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Yani is great. We loved her from the minute we met. She took great care of Buzz. We had just lost Yogi a few days before and Buzz was really depressed and struggling. She managed to cheer him up and be there for him. She stayed at our house and stayed in touch with us through out our trip. I would definitely have her watch Buzz again and highly recommend her.”
“Temi was quickly responsive and was able to help watch my dogs when my last minute trip came up. Thank you so much! He does an amazing job caring for my babies and sending me updates about them. You will not regret booking him to watch your fur babies!”
About: Growing up. I had five dogs. Four of them lived up to 14 and 15 years of age. One of them still lives with my sister and it’s currently nine years old. All my life I’ve had experience with dogs and even cared for them up until their senior stage. Even though my dogs are no longer with me, my love for pets still lives on. I recently just finished College, and work less days in my job. So I’m free a lot of the time now, which will help me provide an organized routine for pets. Whether that’s is feeding them, walking them, and spending time with them. When I had my dogs, I would take them outside to my backyard and stay with them until they were finished, and then they were able to walk up the stairs and go back inside. When caring for a pet in your home, I will be sure to do the same and take precautionary measures that are needed to ensure that your fur baby is safe. As well as follow any rules instructed.
“The dog was happy and the place was standing. In the end that's all that matters but a decent person who communicates well with an honest smile on their face and a personality to match makes the whole thing run smoother.”
About: As a passionate pet lover, I believe that every pet deserves a safe and loving environment while you're away. My home is warm and welcoming, with plenty of space for your furry friends to relax and play. I take pride in creating a routine that keeps them happy and engaged, whether it’s snuggling on the couch, play time or enjoying an adventurous day outdoors. Communication is key and I make sure to keep you updated with photos and messages about how your pet is doing. You can expect a personalized experience tailored to your fur baby’s unique personality and needs, ensuring they feel loved and cared for in your absence. Your peace of mind is my priority and I look forward to building a trusting relationship with both you and your fur baby. **FOR DOG WALKING: If you are within a 5 Mile radius from my home, I offer 5 walks a week for $100 from Monday through Friday. You can either use one walk per day or multiple walks in one day whatever is the most convenient for you and your fur baby.

“Jestine was amazing! She took such good care of Stubs and the house and gave updates throughout the stay. Jestine is so thoughtful and sweet and truly understands the needs of animals. Highly recommend and will be booking her for future stays. Thanks!”
“Tracy was absolutely wonderful with Daisy! She took such great care of her and gave me peace of mind knowing Daisy was in good hands while I was away. She was caring, attentive, and made sure Daisy was comfortable and well cared for. I truly appreciate the love and attention she gave Daisy, and I would absolutely recommend Tracy to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and caring pet sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: Hello, I’m a 27 year old who has loved animals their entire life. Currently I don’t have any pets but while I was younger my family always had animals in the house. I’ve had the pleasure of growing up around dogs and cats. When I moved away from home I started pet sitting for family friends and neighbors. I have pet sat cats, dogs, even a parrot and a snake. I love caring for other people's pets and understand the love and care that is expected when taking on this job. Caring for animals is one of my favorite past times. I currently freelance so my availably is extremely open. That also means your pet will get my full attention for any care they need. I work from home so I will have ample time to care for the pets. I also live walking distance from a park so walks will not be a problem. I don't currently have pets but the way I would care for pets in my home is by paying as much attention as I can to them. Making sure they are well fed, comfortable and relaxed.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a little girl. My experience with pets since childhood has given me a deep love and understanding for animals! I am very excited to take care of your fur babies as if they were my own. Which means offering them attention, playtime, and cuddles. When they are in my care, my goal is to make your family member to feel safe and comfortable- as well as you! I am currently as stay at home mom! Which means I can give your loved one the attention they deserve! With me, you can feel confident knowing your pet is getting the best care in a home where they’re treated like family. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities! With a fenced backyard, they’ll have plenty of space to run, play, and enjoy the outdoors. I make sure the environment is secure so they can safely explore without worries. If your pet is crate-trained or you’d prefer them to have their own space, I’m happy to crate them when needed. It can be a calm, cozy spot for naps, meals, or quiet time. In addition to providing a safe, fun environment, I make sure they feel at home—whether that means lots of playtime, cuddles, or a quiet corner to relax in. I keep them on their routine, stick to their feeding schedule, and ensure they get plenty of love and attention throughout the day. If your pet doesn’t get along well with other dogs/cats then I am more than happy to provide a safe and fun space for them as well with planning together as well!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bloomfield
Breanna was outstanding. My husband and I were away in PA for a wedding, and we were completely at ease knowing our dog was in her care. She sent detailed updates with photos and videos. The little things matter when it’s your baby, and Breanna definitely delivers. We will absolutely be using her services again
Sienna was wonderful with our senior dog! Sienna stayed in our home for four days and nights and left it spotless. When we returned our dog was very happy and relaxed. Sienna took good care of her. Sienna was also great about communication and sending photos of our dog. We really appreciate Sienna and we'll definitely ask her to come back again.
I wish Izzi was right next door to us so we can have them over everyday! They were incredible to our boys, who can be a handful for the wrong person but felt so at home with Izzi. A great person and a great sitter. Thank you for keeping Atlas and Henry company and making them feel cared for. Will definitely be booking you again <3
Gabi was an incredibly attentive, caring sitter for our kitty! She provided house sitting for four nights, and did a fabulous job. We returned home to a very relaxed, happy kitty with no stress. We could tell from the regular updates that she got lots of play time and kept to her routine very well. Gabi loved on Shootki so much and it's clear she absolutely loves and understands cats! We felt confident being away, and not worried. We would highly recommend Gabi for house sitting kitties, as she is caring, great with cat care, and very responsible!
We had a wonderful experience! Our dog, cat, and guinea pig were all very well cared for during the overnight stay. Everything was handled responsibly and with lots of care, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our pets were in good hands. We’d happily recommend Sam and book again!
Erin was incredible with our pets during her stay! My dog is 14 years old with Cushing’s disease and I was very worried about leaving him for 10 days, but Erin took all that worry away for me. She updated me almost daily, sent many pics and videos, and took great care of our apartment. I could tell my animals loved her very much and were happy. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!
Juliana did a wonderful job caring for our senior pugs and staying in our home for a week. It was clear from the meet and greet to the way she communicated with photo updates and a request to clarify the best way to manage a minor health scenario flagged in our instructions that she takes this role very seriously, which we appreciate. And importantly the dogs felt comfortable with her right away! Would hire again.
Yari was so great with my dogs, it was great to have someone who knew beagles super well since we have an anxious boy! It gave me a lot of peace of mind to have her check on them while I was away, and she was a joy to work with :) Will most definitely book again in the future!
Gordon watched my three small dogs for three days! This included my one high needs fifteen year old dog and my one year old dog who has a grumpy attitude. Gordon was a pleasure to work with. He was super friendly. He was very attentive. He was super communicative and sent me tons of video and pics of my pups. 10 out of 10. Highly recommend! If you want your pups to be spoiled Gordon is your pick!
We have had many pet sitters over the years, and Nima stands out as one of the best. She is very friendly, considerate, and kind, both with us and with our puppy, Olivia. Nima sent us daily photos and videos with a quick update on how everything was going. Olivia is a very picky eater, but somehow Nima got her to eat every meal! Nima left our house clean and tidy. She was on time and communicative about arrival & departure and about when she needed to leave the house while caring for Olivia. I highly recommend her for pop-in visits with your pet or overnight stays.
Amara is fantastic - she leads with professionalism, care and communication. She took the time to understand exactly the type of care my dog needed, sent thorough and timely updates and bonded with my dog. Her level of care is exactly what I hoped it would be and I can’t wait to have her sit my dog again!

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 Bloomfield 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 Bloomfield 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Bloomfield 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
