“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!”
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Throughout the years I’ve had the privilege of caring for four wonderful dogs who became much more than pets; they become my best friends and part of my family. They taught me so much about unconditional love, patience and responsibility and the special bond she shared with our furry friends. I genuinely love spending time with animals in general, getting to know their personalities and understanding their needs and making them feel happy, safe and love will be my priority. I understand that leaving your dog in someone else’s care requires trust. I want you to feel confident that your best friend will be receiving my full attention, patience and genuine care. I’m currently available only the weekends Saturdays and Sundays with full time availability. Whether you are looking for someone to take your dog on a hike, or enjoy a long walk, provide drop in visits of care of your furry friend while you are traveling over the weekends, I’d be happy to help. I will always 100% follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, water walks, play time, medication routines and any specific needs or preferences. I’m very strict when it comes to your dogs or cats safety, it will be my priority. For this reason I believe communication is essential I love providing updates, pictures, or calls with the owners so they can enjoy their time away knowing their pets are safe and well cared for.
“Naidilis was great with our dog Kimbo for the weekend. This was our first time booking with her and we were very impressed. She communicated very well and sent a lot of photos. She really spent time with our dog which was reassuring and took him on walks. Thank you so much! Highly recommended!!!”
“Casey was so accommodating and sweet! She was super flexible and let us change end times as needed! Thank you so so much for taking such great care of our baby, we’re so very grateful!”
“Kate truly went above and beyond! I had some last-minute changes in the middle of my booking, but she kindly stood by me and helped sort everything out, demonstrating her big love for animals. I really like her and will definitely call her again whenever I need someone, and she's always willing to take care of my babies. They had a wonderful time, and even to this day, they still look for her.”
“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!”
“It’s always a little stressful when a trusted petsitter moves away and I need to find a new one. Marlita was great from the start, very professional and responsive to messages. She sent pictures and updates while we were gone. We just got back from a weekend trip and the whole crew here is happy and healthy. I’m so glad we found Marlita, and grateful I have someone I can trust whenever we go away.”
About: Hi, I’m Julie! I’m a caring, reliable sitter who treats every dog like my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, your pup will feel safe and loved. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities - from playful pups to gentle seniors. I send regular updates so you can relax knowing your best friend is in good hands. I am also experienced and willing to administer medication to your pet if needed. Please feel free to reach out with any questions before booking some time with me 😊 Chat soon! I am free in the evenings and weekends. I work from home a few days a week, so it may be easier for your request needs for me to be home with your pup if our days align! :) I have a fenced yard if your pet was to spend the day with Milo and I. I am also very vigilant of my surroundings, so your pet will not be in harms way. My eyes will be on them at all times as I do with my own pup whether at home or outside.
“I'd definitely re-book Catherine for her house sitting services! She watched our golden-retriever puppy Maaza for more than a week and was always punctual, calm, gave our pup the attention she needed and took her for regular walks everyday. 100% recommend her services given how happy my pup was during her care.”
About: I have two kitties of my own, but have experience with both dogs and cats, including giving extra medical attention to elderly pets. I grew up around animals and absolutely love being around all kinds of pets. Would love to help out with your fur babies! I work full remotely and have a flexible schedule. I am very communicative and responsive, and will do my best to accommodate your schedule and needs! If I am in your home, I will be respectful of your space and ensure everything is left clean and how it was upon arrival!
About: I have experience caring for senior dogs, young and energetic dogs, cats, and reptiles. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Animal Health with a concentration in Small Animals in 2024. My professional animal-care background has taught me to provide patient, compassionate, and attentive care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. I am available Mondays from 4–8 PM and Fridays from 11 AM–4 PM. Fridays offer my most availability, allowing me to provide attentive care and make sure your pets’ needs are fully met. I’m unable to host pets in my home, but I can travel to your home. I provide individualized care based on each pet’s unique needs, personality, routine, enrichment preferences, and exercise requirements.
“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
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.
“Malgorzata was prompt on replies and got along really well with my dog who is normally cautious around new people. While on vacation she sent many photos and updates to keep me posted on the status of Jaeger. Great communication and when I returned he was happy and healthy!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for over 20 years, from childhood through adulthood, and have personally cared for five dogs over that time. Being around dogs has always been a big part of my life, so I understand the attention, patience, exercise, and love that goes into making sure they’re happy and comfortable. My current dog, Reyna, is a loving 4-year-old Micro Bully/Frenchie mix with plenty of personality. Caring for her has given me even more hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, exercise, and understanding a dog’s individual needs and behaviors. I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. Whether I’m stopping in for a visit, going for a walk, or spending more time with them while you’re away, I’ll treat your pet with the same patience, attention, and care I give my own. I work remotely and have a very flexible daily schedule, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my routine. Even on days when I have meetings scheduled, I have plenty of flexibility throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and spending quality time with your pets. I do train a couple of evenings during the week, but it shouldn’t interfere with providing consistent and reliable care. Working from home gives me the ability to plan around each pet’s normal routine rather than expecting them to adjust to mine. Whether your pet needs attention during the workday, a midday walk, or care while you’re away, I can be flexible and make sure they’re getting the time and attention they need. My home is already set up with pets in mind. My cats have plenty of comfortable spaces throughout the apartment, including a cat tower, a window perch, and different areas where they can relax or have their own space. My dog also has access to a dog park within my apartment complex, which makes regular exercise, playtime, and outdoor breaks easy and convenient. My dog and cats are all comfortable around each other and live together peacefully. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I understand how important it is to keep them comfortable by maintaining the routine and environment they’re already familiar with. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, litter care, and any other routines you have in place. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, cared for, and get plenty of attention while you’re away.
About: I loveee animals. I grew up with many pets from cute little bunnies, turtles, lizards, birds, dogs and everything in between. I’m very caring which will show in everything I do. Your babies will be my babies, I promise :) I currently work full-time as an elementary teacher. I’m available for boarding your babes on weekends, and weekdays after 4pm. Sometimes I’m off on holidays and I would board then as well. We will always have a great time. Your babe will be free to roam my apartment under my supervision, of course. I also have a large yard, but will keep him on a leash. I can also crate him or her if you prefer. Either way, we will have tons of fun together.
About: Since before I was born my family has loved animals. Weve had beagles, pitbulls, english and american bulldogs, birds, cats, fish, hamsters, and even a rabbit. Growing up I loved being around my pets and learning about them. Whenever anyone has a question about their pet they always come to me because they know I have their pets best interest in mind. I am a student at Montclair state University and I am available Monday through Saturday to take care of any pets. Pet care has been a part of my daily routine ever since I could walk. Growing up there was always at least one animal in my house which fostered my love for animals. For the past six years I have been taking care of a rabbit and two birds so my animal knowledge goes beyond cats and dogs! In my home pets are treated equally to humans! All animals that cross my path will without a doubt be showered in love and affection.
“Jade was a rare find. How lucky were we? We enlisted Jade to watch our 3 year old dog for a week while we traveled. She fed him on time and gave him plenty of exercise and LOTS of love. We came home to a clean home and a happy dog. Couldn't ask for more! Hope to use her many times in the future!”
“Jennifer house sit with our dog for several days and was great to work with. I would highly recommend. When we came home we can tell that our dog was well taken care of and happy. She also took care of the house very well- and went above and beyond for us. She kept us posted and gave us updates on how our dog was doing and what he was up to. Our dog also had a recent minor leg injury and Jennifer was extra careful with him and followed our instructions well.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Bloomfield is $60

Jadis is such a treasure—highly recommended. Jadis took care of my senior dog who has a few special physical needs and also requires medication. Throughout the overnight visit, Jadis sent me photos and updates, which helped reassure me that my dog was in good hands. Overall, this was a great experience, and I was very thankful and happy to have booked Jadis.
We had a fantastic experience with Gabby! She took wonderful care of our home and dog while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing everything was in great hands. Gabby was reliable, caring, and attentive, and it was clear our dog was happy and well loved. Her communication was excellent, and we really appreciated the updates and attention to detail. We returned home to a happy dog and a house that was just as we left it. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! We highly recommend Gabby and would absolutely trust her with our home and furry family member again!
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
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!
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.

The average cost of House Sitting in Bloomfield is $54 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $79 per night.

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.
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 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 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 Bloomfield. 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.
